Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert

Confession : I have not read this book completely (read little over 200 pages) and am not planning to finish it. I don't think its worth my time.

This book is divided into 3 parts, each part dedicated to a country she explored (??) in her search for everything. Coincidentally the name of these countries starts with "I" (Italy India and Indonesia) and she tries to associates this coincidence with her quest to find "herself".

I read her journey through Italy and India but did not have courage to go on with her to Indonesia so I rested myself in India !

She starts her quest after her painful divorce with her husband that almost left her bankrupt, emotionally and financially !

The finance part of the equation was taken care by publishers who paid her in advance to write her experiences when she returns. So this is not a story of a disciple wandering in search of a guru to attain enlightenment. It was well financed trip to Italy India and Indonesia where she got some time to retrospect on her life. Anyways this shouldn't matter much because this is certainly not a book you will read for spiritual guidance.

On emotional front , it was clear in initial few chapters that she was in a bad marriage and her divorce was painful, ok we go the point but no , she will remind you about it after every few chapter ! After a while it becomes so irritating to read same thing again and again.


Over all I think this book may appeal to those who either themselves are neurotic or have gone through similar phase in their own life ! otherwise this book is not for some serious reading. One star is because of two reasons ; one, at times she becomes very witty and makes you laugh and second, I really liked the character of "Richard from Texas" .

દિવાળી ની હાર્દિક શુભકામના

Living with Bangalore Roads !

Lately I also developed a software disease called back pain ! but this has nothing to do with my working in IT industry. This is an unrefusable gift from Bangalore authority to every two wheeler rider living in the city. Sometimes I feel as if I am living in a city of bumps and potholes. Just to give you an example,there are 12 speed breakers in the stretch  of around 1.3km from my apartment to Sarjapur main road and these doesn't include two present inside the apartment ! I have also not counted strategically placed potholes and manholes which you can say decorates most of the Bangalore roads.I have read somewhere that presence of sorrow reminds us the existence of God , which is very true but presence of potholes reminds me the existence of Bangalore authority more than anything else.
Human mind is more strange than we think. The roads from my society to my office is so well carved in my mind that I recognize each and every jewels on the road so as soon as I approach them my brain starts acting as a military strategist and quickly calculates its height-width-depth and if some gap on either side of it is available or not and based on all such data decides the optimum speed needed to overcome this enemy and  fires commands to its infantry to stop  acceleration pull the clutch change the gear and finally hit the break and slowly get through it such that it doesn't get a chance to retaliate.! Amid such chaos some part of my brain enjoys MJ Pruthvi's morning show on FM radio and some other part of it prepares the to-do list for the day ! Such an amazing gift from god to the mankind !! 
I had almost forgotten the existence of such never ending stream of potholes and bumps until last week when I , somehow , missed one such extended pothole which was royally encroaching the main road. It is not like this was a new addition to the already exploding population of potholes on Bangalore roads, actually I had known it since its infancy but somehow I underestimated its rapid growth. I forgot that BBMP periodically provides food for their growth in the form of stones. Whenever I see such potholes, freshly filled with needle shaped stones, I get a feeling as if it is smiling at me and telling me that "look, whoever you are and whatever you are, I don't care. I have the power to not only stop you and break your backbones but I can also kill you if ever try to disrespect  me!". That one innocent mistake of disrespecting that pothole gave me at least two-three sleepless nights !! The day I missed it was very terrible,  it hurt my back so badly that I was not even able to sit  properly. I was constantly thinking that which one of 33 vertebrae it broke !
Thanks god it turned out to be a muscle pull and I got recovered in two-three days. But this incident taught me a lesson that no body is going to think about our safety, we only have to take care of ourselves because as I always say its a human nature to take something for granted if it is available in abundance and in our country its us , the people , who are available in abundance so there is no value of us!
At last my Hindu upbringing helped me to accept and tolerate whatever is thrust upon me and I finally made peace with the Bangalore roads and now I enjoy Bangalore like never before !!!

Do What You Love or Love What You Do !!!

Society is changing. Irrespective of the family background, people are free to explore any kind of work they like. Leaving some exceptions, there was a time in Hindu society when mason's son can only take up masonry work and the son of a king can not do anything other than ruling the inherited empire, but now there is no such binding ! General education, economic growth and many such parameters has provided an opportunity to discard this well established employment based division of the society. Though, I don't think that the original intention of such system was to divide people. instead, I think it was very well thought of work allocation to bring order in the society but like many other things, ever changing human nature has eroded the real mean of this system over the period of time. Anyways I am not an anthropologist or an expert on the subject of socio-economic history of India so let the experts decide the original intention of this system.

But I do think that the absence of such system and the separation of social and professional status has created a chaos in the mind of newly liberated ordinary people.People feel proud of what they have achieved but they seldom feel very happy about what they are doing and I think that's the reason why we see so much frustration in the society. Our cops are frustrated (so many incident where cops beat innocent people)  government employees are frustrated (just go to any random government office and talk with any employee, you will defiantly have a fun ! ) and even people working in private sectors are frustrated (killing family members committing suicide). The issue of doing what we love arises only because there are so many avenues to choose from and as it is said grass is always greener on the other side of the ground.

Do What You Love or Love What You Do; simple, right ? Like me,you also must have heard from some self proclaimed wise man preaching something like "life is too sort do what you really love doing etc etc". But I feel major part of our society is still not ready for this kind of wisdom. Because no child in our country is born free of burden. The burden of being "successful". If you try to move away from the herd and do what you love, chances are very high that you won't become successful or at least you won't fit in the worldly definition of success.

Even today the career of a child is mostly decided by parents or by some relatives who thinks that they have moral responsibility to rescue poor child from the abyss of ignorance and will give their useless advice which, in reality, they themselves won't follow. and believe me, life will become hell if you have an elder brother or someone in the family who has done something in some subject and is earning decently You and your parents will feel pressure from whole universe to take up that subject and make it big "like" him or her. It matters very less what your idea of success is and it doesn't really matter how well you sing or how much you love playing keyboard and really want to learn more and grow in that line. It all becomes mere childhood hobby if your elder brother is MCA ! the sole goal of your life would be to get  into computer science and if you couldn't make it (which is a crime in itself and be prepared to face criticism even from those people who doesn't know the difference between computer repair guy and a software engineer) you can settle for an electronics science and will end up soldering circuit boards instead of playing keyboard!

In earlier times there was no choice but to learn and grow in the family occupation, people generally used to love what they do, work was just one part of the life and people worked to live but now the situation is changing, we are facing the problem of plenty, we forgot the real purpose of life. Work has completely over taken our lives and we basically now live to work.

Ending with one of my most favorite quote;.

Revolution - 2020 by Chetan Bhagat

I used to think Chaten Bhagat novels as a good week-end read, but Revolution - 2020 is very disappointing . I couldn't read it beyond 200 pages, it is so boring and so predictable. I seriously believe, Chetan should stop writing novels and directly start writing movie scripts so that we can see it in 2-3 hour and save ourselves of two three days of reading.

Bidding Adieu To The First Decade Of The Century

Its new year again ! Time to celebrate..  !

In India we have n number of new years in a calendar year ! each with its own cultural/religious importance but the calendar new year doesn't have any cultural significance it is not associated with any historical event (as far as I know) and that is one of the reasons why I don't feel very excited about it .

Its my  28th new year, at different stages of life the significance of new year changes; when I was school going kid, I felt very excited about new year because I  used to think that I will start writing dates on my notebook with different year and will innocently make mistakes in writing the year sometimes, that feeling used to excite me ! In college, New Year means party, during those days the party meant fully unsynchronized free style dancing in hostel corridor on some age old music system playing Punjabi/English songs whose lyrics I never used to understand, and best part of those parties was, people used to dance for 3-4 hours without any intoxication, it used to be a totally dry party  no alcohol no girls :( .  Gujarat being a dry state ppl had to enjoy with Thumbs Up and Pepsi and we dance with each other only !!  . After entering professional life the meaning of  New Year means to review the achievement and mistakes of the last year and again attending office parties and some time go out on new year and yell on roads with no reasons. Parties have become costlier and gives less enjoyment. I don't enjoy new year parties anymore .
It has become a custom to take a resolution, though very few people keeps it for more than one day, on new year day. Every year I take a resolution that I will not take resolution this year because I don't feel that I have to wait for New Year to take up any resolution . Anyway that's my thinking which many people do not agree with.

This New Year has a special significance, Its an end of decade also.10 years....Wow !!! Its a long time. when I close my eyes and rewind my memory by 10 years I see myself in total despair completely dejected by my disappointing performance in one of the most critical exams of student life, not knowing what is lying ahead in life somehow I took a decision to leave my janmbhumi and started my journey, to search my destiny, which lead me to Vallabh Vidyanagar. In last 10 years I became man from a boy ! The first 5 years of the previous decade were most exciting and unforgettable , I termed it as a platinum period of life, it shaped my life and my career. I learnt a lot, the experience of living alone has its own pros and cons.I made some best some good and some not so good friends during this period . It was the first time I felt that experience is the best teacher. Once out of college, the world becomes totally different, the people sees you in a different way and raises their expectation level and you have to find your own place in the society. Last 5 years were life changing, I started earning and spending my own money and became part of the India growth story.I experienced the sinusoidal nature of the IT industry. I changed 3 jobs and was fired from one of them. I am married since last two and half years now and am enjoying my golden period.

Last year was, particularly, very good for me, I got a chance to re-prove myslef, saw the foreign land for the first time in my life and purchased a dream home. I can't ask for more. Hope this year too brings some goodness in life.I am waiting for the challenges and opportunities of the coming year.

Hope 2011 will be even better than 2010 and I will get a chance to explore myself as well as the world more, on this note I would like to wish you all a very Happy and Progressive New Year 2011,  !!!!!

The Invasion That Never Was by Michel Danino

"The Invasion That Never Was" by Michel Danino should be the text book in every school and each and every individual must read this book.
From our school days we are being taught wrong history, a false history "created" by Britishers for their own interest.  We were taught that there are two races in India ; an Aryan race and a Dravidian race. There is no  archeological evidence or there is no cultural evidence to prove this. Michel Danino in his book , examines all the aspect of the subject and gives enough evidence to prove that there was no invasion in India.

બેંગલોર માં બીજી નવરાત્રી

ગુજરાત છોડ્યા બાદ ગુજરાત ની સૌથી વધુ યાદ તો  નવરાત્રી ના સમય માં જ આવે. નવે નવ દિવસ ગરબા ની રમઝટ ગુજરાત ના દરેક નાના મોટા ગામ તથા શહેરો મા જોવા મળે છે. તાળીઓ ના તાલ નું સ્થાન હવે ઓરકેસ્ટ્રા એ લઇ લીધું છે અને નાની નાની શેરીઓ અને ચોક મા થતી ગરબી હવે મોટા પાર્ટી પ્લોટ માં થવા માંડી છે  પરંતુ લોકો નો જુસ્સો ઉમંગ અને ઇંતેજારી એવી ને એવી જ છે. હા,  કેટલાક લોકો ને આ નવ દિવસ કદાચ ઘોંઘાટ જેવા લગતા હશે, પરંતુ બહુમતી થી ચાલતા ધર્મ નિર્પેક્ષ્ એવા આપણા આ દેશ માં એવું તો ચાલ્યા કરે.  પરંતુ એક વાત તો નક્કી છે કે જયારે ગરબા ગાનાર ના  સૂર ઓરકેસ્ટ્રા ના તાલ સાથે વાતાવરણ માં ગુંજે છે ત્યારે કોઈ પણ વ્યક્તિ એનામા તલ્લીન થયા વગર રહી સકતી નથી.

એવું નથી કે બેંગલોર માં ગરબા રમાતા જ નથી, એ વાત મા કોઈ બેમત નથી કે  દુનિયામાં જ્યાં જ્યાં ગુજરાતી વસ્યા છે ત્યાં ત્યાં એવો એક પણ તહેવાર નહી હોય જે ઉજવાતો ના હોય, બંગલોર મા પણ ઘણી જગ્યા એ ગરબાઓ થાય છે અને અમુક જગ્યાએ નવે નવ દિવસ થાય છે પરંતુ મુશ્કેલી એ છે કે બેંગલોર માં બધુ ઘણું દૂર દૂર આવેલુ છે અને બીજે દિવસે ઓફીસ જવાના ચક્કર મા રોજ રોજ જવું  ઘણું મુશ્કેલ  બની રહે છે. પરંતુ દિલ હૈ કી સાલા માનતા હી નહી ! નોરતા આવે એટલે ગમેતેમ કરીને, નવ દિવસ નહી તો કઈ નહી ૧-૨ દિવસ તો, ગરબા રમવા જવા જોયે જ ને!

આ વખતે બેંગલોર મા થોડા વર્ષો થી રહેતા એક દૂર ના જૂના પડોશી એ :)  તેમના એપાર્ટમેન્ટ ના પાર્કિંગ મા ગરબા નું આયોજન કરેલું હતું અને અમને આમંત્રિત કર્યા હતા. અમે લોકો પણ પુરા ઉત્સાહ થી મિત્ર મંડળ સહીત  શોભા મા અભીવૃધી કરવા સમય અનુસાર જગ્યા એ પહુંચી ગયા ! આયોજકો એ  આયોજન કરવા મા ખુબ મહેનત કરી હતી પણ વ્યક્તિ ના ઉત્સાહ ને જયારે કલ્પના ની પાંખો લાગેલી હોય અને કોઈ અચાનક એ પાંખો કાપી નાખે અને કેવી હાલત થાય ? એવી જ કૈક  હાલત અમારી થઈ જયારે  ત્યાં પહુંચી અમે જોયું કે ગરબા પાર્કિંગ ની બદલે કોઈ એપાર્ટમેન્ટ મા આવેલા ચિલ્ડ્રેન'સ પ્લે એરીયા મા છે અને ગાયક અને ઓર્કેસ્ટ્રા ની બદલે લેપટોપ પર વાગતા ગીતો પર ગરબા લેવાના છે. એમાં પણ લોકો જે ઉત્સાહ થી ગરબા લેતા હતા એ જોઈને મને ખરે ખર આનંદ થયો. (એ દ્રશ્ય જોઈ મને મારા કોલેજ ના દિવસો યાદ આવી ગયા જ્યાં અમે કમ્પ્યુટર લેબ માથી કમ્પ્યુટર લઇ ગરબા ની સી. ડી. ચળાવી અને   ગીત કોઈ પણ ચાલતું હોય , ગરબા લેતા આવડતા હોય કે ના આવડતા હોય  મેદાન વચ્ચે આમ-તેમ દોડા-દોડી કરતા હતા.). ટુંકમાં એવી કાઈ ખાસ મજા આવી નહી અને મને લાગવા માંડ્યું હતું કે આ વર્ષ ની નવરાત્રી સાવ ફિક્કી જવાની છે.

બીજે દિવસે અમે બેંગલોર મા આવેલા ઇન્દીરાનગર ગુજરાતી એસોસીએશન દ્વારા કોઈ મંદિર ના હોલ મા આયોજીત ગરબા મા જવા નું નક્કી કર્યું. આ વખતે કોઈ જાત ની અપેક્ષા રાખ્યા વગર જવું એમ  વિચારી  રાત્રે ૧૦ વાગ્યે નક્કી કરેલી જગ્યાએ પહોચ્યા.  જેમ પોસ્ટ માસ્ટર ટીકીટ ચેક કરી એના પર પોસ્ટ ઓફીસ નો સિક્કો લગાડે એમ બહાર બેઠેલી બે બહેનો એ અમર હાથ પર શેનોક સિક્કો લગાડી આપ્યો.  પોસ્ટ થયેલી ચિઠ્ઠી ની માફક અમે હોલ મા પ્રવેશ્યા. જગ્યા નાની હતી પણ નવરાત્રી નો માહોલ લાગતો હતો. લાઈવ ઓર્કેસ્ટ્રા હતું અને  મોટા ભાગ ના લોકો ટ્રેડીશનલ ડ્રેસ મા હતા. મારે તો કઈ રમવાનું હોતું નથી એટલે હું આમતેમ ખાલી જગ્યા શોધવા લાગ્યો. થોડી વાર પછી કેટલાક લોકોએ હિંમત કરી ગરબા લેવાના ચાલુ કર્યાં.  એમનું જોઈ ને બાકીના લોકો પણ જોડાઈ ગયા. જેમ હંસો ના ટોળા માં બગલા અલગ તારી આવે એમ અમુક લોકો અલગ જ તારી આવતા હતા. અમુક લોકો ને જોઈ ને મને પણ જુસ્સો આવ્યો અને લોકો શું વિચારશે એનો વિચાર કર્યાં વગર યા હોમ કહીને હું પણ કુદી પડયો.  અને બગલા ના ટોળા માં શામેલ થઈ ગયો. કોઈ પણ જાત ના તાલ મેળ વગર હું પણ ગરબા લેવા માંડ્યો. લોકો જયારે ડાબી બાજુ તાળી પડે ત્યારે હું ચક્કર ફરતો અને જયરે લોકો ચક્કર ફરે ત્યારે હું તાળી પડતો ! મને ગરબા લેતો જોઈ ને ઘણા લોકો ને પ્રેરણા મળી હોય તેમ વધારે લોકો બગલા ના ટોળા માં શામેલ થઈ ગયા ! કદાચ પહેલી વાર હું ગરબા આટલા દિલ થી રમ્યો હઈસ.  ખરેખર મજા આવી ગઈ.

એ દિવસે હું એટલું રમ્યો કે બીજા બે દિવસ સુધી પગ દુખવા લાગ્યા ! અને ત્યારે નવે નવ દિવસ ગરબે રમતા લોકો પ્રત્યે ખરેખર માન ની લાગણી થઈ આવી અને એ વાત નો અહેસાસ થયો કે આઇ.ટી. ઇન્ડસ્ટ્રી ની ભેટ સ્વરૂપ બેઠાડું જીવન થી ભવિષ્ય માં શું શું થઈ શકે છ.

Media,Politics and Commonwealth Games

Some thoughts on commonwealth games;

Question: What is Commonwealth Games ?
Answer :  Its an international, multi-sport event played among commonwealth of nations.
Question: What is commonwealth of nations ?
Answer:  It is an association comprising the Britain, its dependencies (like Wales , Scotland etc)  and former British colonies that are now sovereign states with a common allegiance to the British Crown.

I thought we got independence from British long back, then do we really need to show our allegiance to the British Crown ?  Why do we even need to be a part of commonwealth of nations where the British monarch serves as a symbolic head ? Irony is we still wants to show our loyalty towards a nation who ruled,raped and looted us for several years. Why are we,still, so obsessed with British ? its a mockery of our hard earn independence. Anything British must be rejected.

These days it has become a tradition to link nation's pride with any damn thing happen in the country and media is playing a major role in it. Why should nation's pride be damaged because of a gaming event which we should have dumped long before?. Shouldn't we set targets like 100% electrification of our villages, achieving 100% literacy, giving social security to all the citizens or securing our boarders, and claim nation's pride ? but no, our so called free and independent media friends do not think so. They are only interested in masala which our politicians and babus provides very open heartedly.

I don't support our participation in commonwealth and I really don't care whether games will be a success or failure, how I see all this drama as; at least in the name of hosting commonwealth games, our athletes will get some world class training facilities and will be able to win some medals in international sporting events.

Whether we should be a part of commonwealth of nations or not is totally a different issue but talking about recent crisis in Delhi Commonwealth Games, It did not surprise me a bit that our corrupt babus and netas are once again failed to deliver on their promises, this time, made to the international audience. Suresh Kalmadi, organizing committee chief , openly declared, thinking that he is making a speech in his constituency, that the infrastructure he is going to build for commonwealth games will be better than that of Beijing Olympic !!! Kalmadi and his team had seven years in their hand to deliver but our politicians are not very used to work within a timeline. Instead of seven years if they would had fourteen years in their hands, the result would have been the same because they don't feel any sense of responsibility for their work and even though they are spending/wasting our  tax money they are not accountable to anyone ! What do you think ? Will there be any actions taken against those who are responsible for this mess ? at max kalmadi will be replaced by another type of Kalmadi and things will come back to normalcy.

When I heard Organizing Committee's spokesperson Lalit Bhanot saying " For us and for you it is clean, but they have a different standard of cleanliness, It is a matter of difference in perception". I believed him because many times it happens that people over-expect when they go to someone else's place,but after seeing the pictures on news channels (paan stains on washbasin, dog's paw prints on bed, leaked toilets etc etc) one thing I can surely tell is  that any human being, no matter what their perception about cleanliness is , can ever imagine that the place shown in the news channels was clean.

But now it is becoming too much. As always, media and international delegates are exaggerating the things, I used to follow the CWG stories on electronic and print media but couldn't found any single positive point since the foot over bridge collapsed due to the use of sub-standard material. (It is still not clear that the material used was really a sub-standard or there was some other reason ). Now come-on, I don't agree that after spending billions of rupees on infrastructure they have not build anything positive. I don't know whatever they have build is better than Beijing Olympic infrastructure or not but one thing is clear from the photographs put on the CWG website, everything is not dark in games village and training facility.

I fully support the media for their war against corruption in organizing the games but at the same time I feel very dejected when they keep on showcasing only the bad thing and completely ignore the efforts made by hundreds of people who worked towards making the event successful.

I hope, some day our media, politician and bureaucrats will understand their responsibility and use their power at the right place for the betterment of their fellow countrymen.

Experience with Bangalore Traffic Police - "Bhagvan Bachaye in se" !!!

Corruption in different departments of the government is not a new thing, giving/taking bribe has become so natural that many a time people do not even realise  that they are doing something wrong/illegal. The whole corruption system is well organized, agents are placed at every stage and acts as a channel for money transfer from bottom (aam aadmi) to the top(politicians) .


Being at the bottom of this corruption pyramid, I have been exposed to corruption quite a few times (knowingly or unknowingly), but last Friday's experience with Bangalore Traffic police was very shocking, I couldn't believe that somebody can be so shameless.


I went to Kormangala (in Bangalore)  for some work and parked my bike near side-walk where few other bikes were also parked. I checked for no-parking sign but couldn't found any so I thought this is the safe place for parking. After finishing work, when I came back after an hour, I couldn't found my bike. I immediatly understood that my bike has been towed away. I inquired with near by traffic police and he confirmed my fear and showed me the way to traffic police station from where I can retrieve my bike.


It was around one and half kilometer from the point where I left my bike and by the time we reached there it was very dark and I was hardly able to see anything clearly.  We went to their self-declared parking space and found my bike there. One police officer (I doubt if I should give so much respect to this fellow) was standing near towing vehicle.

After seeing my licence, he asked for 300Rs. I thought it must be the penalty for parking a bike in non-parking zone and I was ready to pay the fine for my wrong-doing. I didn't had 300Rs in loose , so gave him 500Rs note and my wife asked for a receipt. 


"We always gave receipt, aamaa" He told to my wife.
I was happy thinking that 'chalo this is an honest officer and there won't be any further problem'.
He asked us to follow him in front of his towing car to give us receipt and remaining change, he went inside and did something for 5-10 minutes. After that he gave me some receipt and asked me to sign. It was so dark there that I couldn't read anything,but it looked like a parking ticket so  I just signed. (I still regret signing it without reading, though it was just a traffic challan )

After wasting few more minutes he gave back my licence and told me to take my bike. 
I asked for remaining 200Rs. 
"I already gave you" he told. I was shocked. But I thought, there must be some misunderstanding.
"No you didn't give me any money." I argued 
" You check you purse saar, I am telling you I gave your money"
I showed him my purse and argued with him that he didn't give me any money back.
"200Rs mai hum koi bungala banayenga kya ? I told you mai ne aap ko de diya hai vahi pe" pointing towards my bike he told. 
Now I was loosing my temper but was still showing politeness as I didn't wanted to create any scene so I again repeated the same thing with some more politeness. and as we were arguing, one of his aide came and interrupted our conversation and started his own.
"I saw saar gave you money therea , he gaves money therea only not herea" 
This time my wife shouted at them "You did not give us any money, You asked us to come here to give the change and now you are saying you have already given??"
As we were having this heated argument with him, somebody came and asked for his bike. As soon as officer saw his innocent face he immidetly gave us our 200Rs (may be thinking that he will recover it from him), which were lying on the dashboard of his vehicle.
I took the money and when I was returning he told me "Bhagvan Dekh lega tumko" !!!
How can he be so shameless ??? Just imagine, If he had already returned 200Rs to me then is it possible that a cop  will give money from his own pocket ? Can he be so innocent ? and moreover when I checked the receipt I found that he gave a receipt of only 200Rs not 300Rs which he took from me !!!
Bhagvan Bachaye in logo se !!!
