Just some Silly questions.. ;-)

I was checking out my facebook when I happeneded to remember this hot friend of mine. I saw one of her post and so thought about checking her pics. As I was checking her pics I got a peculiar doubt. Then one question leading to another I was soon filled with so many unanswered question. So I am thinking about putting these questions here and see if someone is able to answer these. Before I start with the questions let me give you the description of the girl so that it helps you understand my dilemma better.
Ok.. She has to be a hot girl and that was why I had been checking her pics out since the last 20 mins. Just picture the hottest girl that you have ever seen in your life till now and assume this to be her. Her dressing sense is truly impeccable. Anyone will be spellbound on looking at her if she decides it to be that way. She has a perfectly lithe figure of a model and has the height necessary too. So the one word that describes it all will be "PERFECTION".
Now the question that follow are:

1) What will be his boyfriend like? Will he be a dude or will he be an average looking?

2) What does a girl like that look for? Smartness or only looks?

3) I guess she mostly will be the one in control of the relation that she will be in. If that is the case does the guy have to compromise much?

4) Doesn't it make the guy feel insecure when so many other guys are trying to hit on her as well?

5) What will be in the future for such a girl? How much is her life different from a normal looking girl?

6) Last but not the least whom is she going to get married to and how will he be?

It has been a long time again since I blogged last. I have been inconsistent again so I thought this must be a good topic to start again ;)

This too shall Pass

Days of luxury is over and I am back again to the reality. This is such a sad fact that "This too shall pass". How I wished that the last two weeks didn't end. I was having tremendous fun. I did not want to come back at all.
18 of us had been to Kochi in the last two weeks. We had been put up in a grand 3 star hotel with all facilities and VIP like treatment. The hotel was majestic. This was my first stay in such a big hotel. I shared my room with Trilok. We were given a suite to stay in. The suite consisted of one large hall with a sofa and a TV. There was also a bedroom which also had a TV. The thing that made me most happy was the WiFi. The internet was very fast. We were getting download speeds of 400+ kbps. I inaugurated my cells WiFi there. Apart from all this there was FOOD!!! Yeah that was something worth noting. There were 50 different varieties of food to choose from in every meal. It was tasty too. Everyone hogged a lot. I managed to gain some weight also. Apart from the training and sleeping, the banquet room was were we spent the maximum time. We have put up nearly 38 hrs in 12 days in that hall.
We had to go for training everyday at 9 O'clock in the morning. A navy bus would come to pick us up. The training which was more of orientation continued till 1 pm. The navy base where we went was a training base for the officers and sailors. There wasn't much to be done there. The liaison officer had arranged for visits to different schools in the training establishment. Every school taught the officers a different skills. There were schools which taught them diving, firefighting, navigation, seamanship and many other things. I guess there were nearly 45 schools like that. We visited roughly 2 schools everyday.
Of all the schools the one that I liked the most was the diving school. There was huge 20 m tank where the divers train. They are made to go inside and weld or cut metals inside the water using some equipments. They are trained to carry out operations like salvaging and mine fitting there. We were also taken to the airbase where we saw many airplanes, helicopters and UAVs. The best part of training was the speed boat. We were taken on a combat speed boat and we were allowed to even drive it. The ride was adrenalin filled. Overall it was a good exposure to the defense equipments and their training process.
Sunday was the only off that we got in the two weeks time so we could not roam around much. Nevertheless we did see some places. We went to Athirapilli waterfall. This is the place where the movie Raavan was shot. It is a huge waterfall. We were not allowed to bathe below the fall but we did have a bath above the waterfall were the water was much more calmer. We also went to Kumarakom backwaters. We hired a boat house and ferried in the backwater for 6 hrs. The scenic beauty was very mesmerizing. We enjoyed the view outside and before returning back we also swam in a channel. The water was clean enough to be enjoyed.
The whole thing appears as a dream now. The reality struck hard when 2 days back I entered the mess and the familiar stench hit me. If that was not enough to convince me that the dream is over then the horrible food followed which I had to force inside my stomach to stay alive. I then silently muttered to myself "This too shall Pass".

Bharti Airtel is a Fradulent

There are several ways in which a person can get looted. It is not only the thieves who loot at the gun point but there are others too. Today I feel so cheated. I know I am not the only one. There are so many more who have faced a similar thing but have just turned a blind eye to it. I am angry now but I know I will have to finally succumb.
My mobile network carrier Bharti Airtel is a fraud company. I get a message yesterday saying some service has been activated without my notice and I was charged Rs. 5 for it. That was how its deceit started. This is not the first time that this darn company stole like this. I let it go then thinking it is only a day's issue and I won't be charged any further. I was wrong. I get another message today morning saying that the crap service has been renewed and I have been charged another Rs. 3! WTF!!! I could still keep my calm and I thought that I will discontinue the service once I go back home. They had already screwed my balance by then I couldn't have called even though I wished to. Then the real tipping moment came when I recharged my cell to call up the customer care. I call up the customer care which is not an easy thing to do in Airtel. The IVR (Interactive Voice Response) is another piece of trickery. One has to be a Sherlock Holmes to reach the customer care. After all this hassle when I somehow speak to the customer care he puts me on hold and then disconnects my call. This has tipped me off.
The whole thing provokes me more because I am on roaming and I get charged even to call up the customer care. Now I am in a fix. I am not able to stop the service so they will charge me again tomorrow and trying another call may be foolish. I might be charged more than what I might be charged otherwise with the service active. I still have 4 days to end my roaming. I think I will have to let them steal more money from me. The part which makes me more pathetic now is that I don't know whom to complain to. I want somebody who can make a difference. Someone who can make Airtel cry plead mercy to me.
Bloody Airtel is such a cheat. I am fuming currently. I want to kill the Airtel people if I could. That would satisfy my anger. I feel like taking the head employee of Airtel, the one in charge of billing and torture him to death. I would love to cut his body parts one by one before I kill him. I don't know how to vent my anger. I hope enough people read this blog and stop using Airtel. I wish the fraud company gets doomed. I am sure I am not the only one who is tormented by this company. This has grown to be the India's number 1 telecom company they say. Number one My Ass!!! This company has no concerns for the quality of the service that they provide. They are the number 1 loots that I have ever seen. This anger is not the result of just one event. There are several other instances where I have faced such thing. I am sure thousand others will vow for me. I normally don't use such profane language but I don't mind using this time.

One Insane Moment

Nooo....!!! I should not have done it. It was just one insane moment. I deleted all my contacts in the mobile and I don't even have a backup. Now I have some serious entertainment in my hand. This is going to keep me occupied for some months now. I am not even sure if I am going to get all the contacts back. This was the result of boredom. I was sitting in the bus for one long hour with Mr.Shreekant our escort from DIAT Pune. He was so boring that to distract myself I started fooling around with my cell. I wanted to make some space as I was running low in memory when I accidentally deleted all my contacts. At that second it felt as if my whole world was falling apart. I wanted to yell but I couldn't. I composed myself and reflected back at the loss.
Some of the contacts in it were hard earned. Some were the contacts of the college professors which at first sight seem to be an easy task but I guarantee it was not as mundane a task as it appears. Some of the professors were so unworthy and I had to let go my ego to make them feel important before I could get the numbers. I don't think I can ever achieve that herculean feat again in my life. Another difficult set of contacts that I hope every guy would agree with me is the contact number of the beautiful girl sitting next to you in a journey. It is a real challenge to get their numbers in the short time that you spend with them. It is an altogether different issue whether or not you contact them again ever in your life. There were some trophies of similar achievements in the contact list ;) I have lost those for ever now.
But now after one day I have come to see the positive side of it too. I realize that there is no need to cramp the memory unnecessarily. Now I can be more organized and I will keep only the numbers that I really need. I will now know how many contacts I remember to get the number back. May be finally All is for Well.

Mumbai - Pune Express

So many people have already blogged in the praise of Bombay Pune experessway. I am going to add one more today to the plethora of available blogs. It truely is the Sierra Niveda of India. I am having the perfect weather to enjoy the drive. I have managed to siege the front seat besides the driver. I was determined on getting this seat today. This is my first drive on this route. I wanted the best of it.
So I am positioned at my vantage point. There is a slight overcast. We are driving at just above 90. Music is playing loudly from the speakers and the smell of the smoke of cigarette from the smokers behind who are unable to resist, tempted by the beauty, is filling the vehicle. There is lush greenery everywhere. Hills run parallel to the road continuously. Some small ponds and lakes appear sometimes.
The tunnels here are mesmerizing. The other end of the tunnel offers a new vista. I just crossed the third tunnel en route and I always found two completely different views on either side. On one end the sky was kinda clear and here I am just 400 m on to the other side and I see heavy rain. The transition through the tunnel is also equally captivating. The top of the tunnel is lined by yellow halogens which spreads an orage hue. It gives me a spooky and sad feeling. That color always has the same effect on me but still it is beautiful in its own way. The divider between the to and fro lanes have neatly trimmed grass growing. There is so much around that I will not be able to write everything in here. This is a memory which I will hold cherished. I am going back to enjoying the drive.

Trilok's attempt at Silent Assassin

Let me narrate this from the start. Yesterday was Nitin's b'day. He had called for a treat in the evening. I have been having some problem with my knee since past few days. I was not quite comfortable walking because of this. So I asked Trilok to take his bike.
So me and Trilok reached the gate sooner than the rest 12 who were following. We decided that we will call for an auto so that they dont have to wait when they reach. We stopped an auto but it had 3 people in it. We explained the autowala that we are 12 people and we need an auto to take us to Dominos. He agreed and said he will arrange for the 3 people in the auto. He got down from his auto without killing the engine. He stopped another auto and was talking to the driver when we noticed that the auto had started rolling as it was standing downhill. Me and Trilok held on to it to stop it.
Sometime passed and the fun began. I dont know what came in Trilok's evil brain that he quickly moved his hand to the gear side of the auto. He pressed the clutch and then there was a click sound. He had engaged the gear!! LOLZ!! What followed was chaos. Our autowala was standing in front of his auto talking to the other autowala oblivious of the things going on behind. Suddenly the auto lept as if trying to do a wheely. I am sure the sound scared the shit out of our auto waala. He saw his own auto coming straight towards him. No driver in the drivers seat! He did not understand anything. He had his hand stretched straight forward shaking it violently side to side as if pleading to the auto not to run over him. His eyes were wide with bewilderment. He surely thought for the moment that he will be dead.
Then there were people sitting in the rear of auto in front. They too saw the auto approaching them. They let out a horrorstruck scream. They didn't have anything else to do and for the three people in the now unmanned auto I could not see much. I could only hear angry "Aye Aye!!" coming from inside. Then there was a collision. This auto hit the rear of the second auto with a bang and slowed its approach towards our autowala. This brought our autowaala to his senses. He got out of his vex, quickly moved away and boarded the moving auto and stopped the auto.
By this time the auto had moved quite a distance. Trilok who was near the drivers place was now standing at the rear of the stopped auto. I was already left behind.
Next train of thought that started in my mind and possibly also in Trilok's was what would be the autowaalas reactions. When we reached the front to face the autowaalas there was still confusion on their faces but eventually it broke into a smile. Initially that smile was of relief rather than forgiveness. We all then smiled except for the other autowaala who was busy checking the damage. Luckily there was no damage and it all ended coolly. I had a hearty laugh recollecting the incidence.

Complete Body Overhaul Needed

I want to brood over my body pain and I know no one will be interested to listen to me so I am going to write it down. Those who are reading this have full right to skip this blog without scorning me. I am doing what I want to do. Rest is up to the readers.
I am having a terrible body pain and this all started after my last blog. I had been for shopping and it has made me sick. Well even on the morning of that day I was not feeling all that great but I had decided not to fidget about it. But now the time has come when I need to sulk to feel better. I promise to keep this short.
I have pain in my head. I can feel water in my head when I turn my head. My body also aches terribly. Every morning when I get up I have pain in my throat. My left ear has been paining since last few days and it has increased since the Lonavala trip. I developed pain in my knee in Lonavala too. I slipped several times there. May be one of those times I hurt my knee badly. The pain had subsided last week but Saturday's walk has aggravated it again. Saturday we started walking around 12 pm and kept walking till 9 pm. I wish I had the option of abandoning my body and getting a new one. On top of all this it has been raining continuously since yesterday. This weather is making me more sick. I hope it stops raining for gods sake!!!
