I remember IIM’s Gopalkrishanan quote -Deserve before u desire. So true! Most of us in pursuit of desires forget to fulfill the gap of what we actually deserve. Its futile if we can’t prove the worth of desires by deserving and striving for them.

Long time back I promised myself for whatsoever I will always clear up the clogs of my mind and never lead a confused life. I am glad I kept it.

People who are curious will read.People who are curious will talk.People who live are curious, dead already walked away.

One thing on your mind if you die today?

One has to die everyday to be reborn next day.

If you know how many lives you lived, you surely know how lived your life.

The more you render yourself to life, more its worth living.

I always been into star gazing fascination and with utmost curiosity have been tapping info of stars,galaxies,constellations,comets. In childhood dad would accompany me to city planetarium and was amazed to see all those revolving models of Venus,Mars,Saturn. A short-film on stars/planets was a on special screening there. I’m a Software Engineer but aesthetically explore interests in theater acting, writing articles, treking, astronomy and many more.

I’m member of an amateur astro-club in mumbai www.khagolmandal.com. They have been conducting regular sessions on astronomy, which is attended by enthusiastic club members (+300). On 21st March 2009, at 19.00 hrs (IST) “Stary Sky Overnite Camping” began at Chavan Farm House,Tarangan Marg,Vangani (approx 12 away km from Mumbai). I went there with one of my friend Virender and accompanied there another friend Arun, who has been attending such camps. And we all shared the common passion-Wonders of Astronomy.

The session began with introduction of planets,stars,galaxies etc. Then with the help of laser beam torch they pointed out Pole star,Orion Nebula, Milky Way galaxy,Artificial Satellite. Well it was magnificent and was amazed at the very glance of it. We trekkers were lyin on the ground to catch up with the glimpse of wonderful starry sky. After 2 hrs we had a dinner break, well we friends had some marathi food. Then we had slide show session for planetary information under the sky and about the sky After much of soaked up sessions, we finally had a telescope session I was really thrilled, me and my friends were waiting for it too. It was amazing to see Comet Lulin and Andromeda galaxy Then we again information exchange session, where the club veteran members discussed various astronomical objects,types of telescopes etc. After a short tea break around 2.00 am (IST) we again gathered for telescopic view of Saturn and Orion Nebula. With Earth on its rotation, telescope was tapping up with it too, every second the position of Saturn on telescope will move with the rotation of Earth. This was something terrific to witness. Our last session at 3.00 am (IST) was QnA, where we all had all sorts of queries like “Why do we have rounded shape heavenly bodies?”,”What is the end of universe?”,”How planets form?”,”Can we reach stars?” and many fantasy based questions too like “Do aliens exist?” ! This one was the second most interesting session after telescope one. Now it was 4 am (IST) and we headed for home.

It’s been great camping for stars and planets we just see from earth. To carry forward this interest I be soon visiting the city planetarium www.nehru-centre.org

Well this is to share with you all, that I won over and made hat-trick win as a customer in Service industry.

The third brand I won over is Kodak, on which I had filled a case for faulty camera.

I sued over them through Core forum a month back and they served notice to Kodak.

Which got acted upon well, and even after 6 months, I bought camera , it got replacement with free accessories too.

Earlier I got my issues resolved for Philips DVD player and ICICI bank through CORE.

Well the chase as a customer to get value-for-money is a success, till determined to win over.

I wanted to share this hat-trick success, so that you people also be equally watchful.

We can sue any faulty product or service at CORE, which is not meeting the satisfaction requirement. CORE act upon defaulter party legally.

NOTE : CORE is Consumer Coordination Council of India.

We all have condemned the on-going terrorist attacks. This act of barbarism is globally criticized for inhuman and terror inflow, keeping us from make a better and peacful world to live-in.

But not only do we need to criticize them, now its time we need to act stern on them too. How long we just gonna involve in wait-n-watch game for another terror attack, and weep only when our very near and dear ones are blown-out of RDX?

I believe that all of us are sensible pro-active citizens of nation, and so do expect that all of us act on this terrorism. It’s time that we uproot and replace the current obsolete filthy system with new powerful system to fight the terrorism.

Initiate the change revolution:

1. Youth needs to come up and take ahead the nation in new and better world replacing the current filthy political parties. All over the nation and in each city, Youth needs to connect and make leaders to become the preferrable genuine voteable candidate. Till we stand on our own we can’t rescue our own people.

2. Make politicians more accountable to the nation. We should always remember that political leaders are legally recruited to serve the nation and we pay them in form of taxes too. Leaders need to sign and legally abide by, what they promise before they are elected, only then then can come the power to serve us. We can file petition for this.

3. Police,ATS like security organisations must work as an independent and autonomous body, free from political interference. Such organizations must have all resources to update its force for best security measures. A major chunk of national income need to be divereted to them. Transparancy is needed in our system to rest assured, that such security organizations are highly-equipped to protect the nation. We can file petition for this.

Above are few change measures that we need to initiate if we really looking forward to better nation ahead.

Please upsurge and team-up for better future for all us. TIME TO ACT NOW.

It has nothin to do with the list we have to accomplish in our life rather the things we crave most in our life for. Well they might differ person to person preferences and so they all have their different most matter list. But why do we need to rank and give preferences. But in all these preferences do we all prefer to mere “live life” or a “life to live”?

A Toss to 4 yrs of Delhi Bloggers and goin’ on…

I’m less-active blogger now but it will always be among my first-hand interactive interests.

Its not always that we call ppl around n say thank you !

Why do we wait for strangers to get acquainted first and then say Hello?

Ain’t we all are chemical brothers n sisters…red/white blood cells,beatin heart,smile (yep we all smile same !)…

We pretend…pretend n pretend tht life is not so easy…jus by makin’ n takin’ all the easy way outta our way

Can’t we jus cherish all the happiness we have n ought to render the same to the world around…wht say ?

Sun shines day-after-day,wind blowin’ every sec here,faces smilin’ my way and I’m longin’ for fresh n robust idea on this day…

A universe of my own…whatever that I vibrate comes back to me on roll..So I jus never regret for what I don have…rather rejoice for what stays back…

Life is more a bundle of happenings, I live it happily to grow with it and not jus let go by it…Never confuse life with personal emotions…play to the tune of life and you be sync with it…
