Batting against the Wind

July has been a quiet month with regards to posts..had been to couple of nice places...Napa Valley, Muir Woods and couple of beaches in SFO. And before that..had a tript to Lake Tahoe...and the tricycle photu was taken on Tahoe.

Work is cool..now not much to worry bout...and I also get time to read some books..currently 3 mistakes of my life by Chetan Bhagat. I get time to sing..and for me I am the best after Kishore-da :-). And as I sing I float..and feel alone in the crowd....and lost in my own world..more happy than ever. For me, singing does not mean sur-tal-voice combination...Its more of feelings that I can relate to and some which I go through. Most of my frens get irritated and bang their heads against the doors if I sing..but I have always had this dont-care-attitude and enjoy doing what I like. There is always a room of improvement..so gimme me some time, my dear ones.

I also want to dance and go into the moving-world..watching youtube videos to learn :-( ...And also want to do a lot more things...all imagination turned into dreams and then reality.. With a big smile of mine..I can boast of having learnt swimming now.. but cannot cross the pacific ocean.

Sunlight mein mat bhaag kartik....kuch nahin dikh raha ...bla bla bla....and as you see the funny part of it :-) Narinder is the choreographer..all credit to him to have shot this...

Bit worried as my brother is not keeping well for sometime now....hope everything gets alright as we move into the month which has birthdays of both mom and dad and Aaditya also..

Meet you guys in August and I promise to post more in the coming days to follow :-)

Why are we so Restless ?

Restless bout everything...mostly when the mistakes are done by others...Lot of people ask me what is that is different bout amrikka. Sometimes I get into a fierce argument and support my India...whatsoever. But I too like to take the positives from the lifestyle in america. From what I can conclude is they really care about what others might feel or think.

In india we spit on the road and dont even care what the passer by might think and the passer-by is also one among us..He does not care..until and unless u spit on him ;-)

First of all these guys here are afraid of the law-rules..if they go against will result in a hefty fine which they cannot escape. This is the only mantra to follow. We in india , instead try to bribe the police in an amount lesser than the penalty. The people who like to live here and support this system actually go back to their hometown on vacation and repeat the same old mistakes. Its something like if you are hiding a thief..you are also a thief....We do not stop a person from doing a social-mistake.....and are afraid we would get a prompt answer " Tere baap ka kya jaata hai...and blah blah blah "

Each individual has to change..and our thought process...and then the system might change.. :-)


The roads here are wonderful...hema-malini ke gaalo ki tarah....the infrastructure is good and population is less. We are accustomed to see crowd...and it really irks me- the emptiness here. Social life is the Best in india. There are always good points to take from others may it be amrikka or any other country..but its upto us to implement back in our own home country.

I have not been able to post for a long time now..take these updesh from me for now....btw..swimming is going in full swing and wait for my swimming videos..will flash it on the blog very soon.. ;-)

Oh Mere WG

कहीं ऐसा न हो पाँव मेरे थर्रा जाए
और तेरी मरमरी बाँहों का सहारा न मिले
अश्क बहते रहे खामोश सियाह रातों में
और तेरी रेशमी आँचल का किनारा न मिले

When you first paddled your Tri-Cycle

When you first paddled your tri-cycle..and someone was behind you to help you out and make you learn and you drove with confidence...and moved on !! May be you faltered once..twice and still remember the first bruise on the knee....and feel good bout it....

And then during the course of your journey..lot of things happened and you learnt a lot...and most of the time...there was someone..who helped you out..taught you the tricks..to whom we are indebted for this lifetime. It might be your inner strength which helped you..

Lets point down the positives that you have in you.....and tick those where you were helped by someone else...or inherited the quality..or its genetic..or its just your hardwork...It may just be your "Patience" which has developed over time...

How often we express our gratitude towards those who have helped us grown. A "Jadoo ki Jhappi" would do..or just a phone call..and let them know .... " You are the person coz of which I excel in #$#$@# and thanks a lot..I love you". We often climb the ladder and forget the previous step which really helped us go to the next one....

It may be your parents....girlfren/boyfren....your teacher..or your enemy...Pickup your mobile and call them up and express yourself.....Or let me put this in my way...

"Connect to the person using Nokia and Express yourself using Airtel" ...

Or if you really think it was yourself..your inner strength..raise a toast for urself..get a beer and chill out :-)

If you are still wondering why I tend to write these kinda posts....Frankly..I missed some opportunities to express myself but do not want you to lose one......

July First Week

July is special bcoz I was born in the month of july....In fact WE were born in the month of July ;-) Dont you think I shud post something special on our birthday. Wait pannu paa...3 more days to go for that..

But the month started with a bang..me driving to Los Angeles from San Jose to meet my mamaji who have been statying here for a l0ong time now. I had never met them though. This was the first time....I left early from office on thursday and started by 4 PM....and 350 miles..to go...It was a wonderful experience though..first time alone on such a long distance drive..only frens were my favourite songs that the music player played...10:30 PM and I was there..entering the light-display of LA and finally home...

Good Friday..went to couple of beaches...Zuma beach needs a mention..and saturday was reserved for Six Flags Magic Mountain LA. If you are still frowning what 'Six Flags' means...Google out..the deadliest of roller coaster...an amusement park dedicated to roller coasters..what else can Kartik ask for...and also google out the new ride X2..on the same park..Awesome....a new trendsetter when it comes to rollercoaster rides...And we left the park at 10:30 PM..and I needed to drive back to San Jose next day...I came back an hour ago..

Mamaji and family were very good to me.. :-) and I like dear Shashank (Mamaji's son)... he did teach me some games..Wii NIntendo stuff..and it was all fun......But the reality is..Tomorrow is Office agaaaain !!
