Sunit On His Bike: Sold Ma Bike!
Sunit On His Bike: Sold Ma Bike!: Hi All Bikers Out There, I have sold my bike. Yes, do you ask, was it easy? No, it wasn't, if you insist me in answering the question....
I Have Been Gone, But Not For Long!
Hello there,
I Have Been Gone, But Not For Long!
Yes, I cannot say that I did not, but priorities, priorities, priorities! I lub(spell mistake intended please LOL) them.
Changing priorities are the like life-navigation system, which folks also call as Fate, taqudeer blah blah...
You know what, to lose the rust from my typing-fingers, I am having to listen to Dub-step music loud, too loud. Ofcourse in headphone mode. Rocking it!
What else...
And yes, the biggest achievement of the year was attained last week, and that is....
Income Tax Return Filing before deadline and not only that, by my own lovely hands - on my own online. WOW. All the folks out there doing it by doling out 150 to 200 greens to the office affiliated agents, Yo, I was one of you till last year and have found my liberation. This 15th of August I am free.
And all the folks doing it right online, from the day ITR-V went online - salutes. Sashtang Pranaam. Not a big deal but to fight the fear of doing it wrong and then not doing it at all is dumb.
Bye for now!
Sunit Ronnie Ghosh!

A Poem For The Wife!
Hi Readers,
Less than a month for the M-Day!!
Composed a poem. Here you go!
Will you marry me, my Wife?!!
Best wishes,
Sunit
Less than a month for the M-Day!!
Composed a poem. Here you go!
Found respite,
When you'r near.
Knew now how it feels,
To be loved, be someone's dear!
To be asked a dozen times,
How am I.
If I had skipped my lunch,
Being asked why!
Day dreaming daily,
In the bright sunlight!
Again in dreams at night,
Under the milky moonlight!
Yuhoo Yippee Yahoo,
Beats my heart!
Yo Yah Yeah,
Thinks my mind!
Blessed by God,
Arranged by the Almighty,
Brought together by God,
Bond made by the Almighty!
The valley between us,
filled with the river of love.
When our dear one's,
handed over the love-dove.
I feel that I knew you,
Will be a part of my life.
That you will join me,
You will be my wife!
Will you marry me, my Wife?!!
Best wishes,
Sunit

Wanna Delete Your Facebook Account But Cannot!
Hi Readers,
Losing control on the time you spent your day's time on-line on Facebook page!! Even though you curse yourself when you wake up next morning and resolute that you will spend lesser time today on FB you turn up spending more!!
Cannot control what you share and who all are watching your updates, when your mind is bubbling to come home and be on-line and type-in your latest endeavours and photos taken to all in the "Friends List" on your Facebook Profile.....
You share, without a second thought, the entire set of pictures taken over a trip made on the weekend to ALL, instead of, sending them to few selected near and dear ones (those who genuinely, are, interested in your activities) via a picasa link or e-mailing a zipped file of the selected picture ONLY, because it is easy and takes lesser time than the latter and is hassle free. Thanks to awesome page design and flow of picture/album upload app of Facebook web-page.
You have 200 plus or even awesome 600 friends in the friends list who get to see what you are doing and you are bewildered by the ease of sharing and being a part of the social network and nosing in other's lifes...
One day will come, when you realise that you are taking your life, day per day, to somewhere you would not wanna be after a duration in the future.
Then you will squirm to delete the profile itself which has made your private-life, PUBLIC, and that too when you where the ONLY person who owns the sole responsibility over it. Deactivation of the profile will not help because, one fine day you will spring up on the keyboard and activate it by just logging in to the profile in just 2 seconds.
For all those, squirming to delete your profile, here you go:
1. Visit the link here.
2. Press the "Delete My Account" Button. A date of final deletion of the account will be displayed which will be a fortnight after the present date.
3. Prohibit yourself from logging in to the Facebook account for 14 days. (If you do login (just login), even by mistake, the date of the complete deletion will be extended by another 14 days from the current day)
4. After the declared day of deletion, try logging in. If the access is denied, then you have succeeded in deleting your profile from Facebook database.
Read more about it, here.
But do not be very complaisant by this feat because Facebook database still remembers your network indexed on the e-mail id you have used earlier to create the account (primary e-mail id) and the secondary e-mail id you had submitted for the account security and retrieval of forgotten password.
By my personal experience, when I tried to create another account by the secondary e-mail id, after I had deleted my Facebook account, I was shown friendship-recommendations of few of my previous friends on the basis of the college name, company and other information on the present profile..
Best wishes!

Lost In Love
O! My Friend,
Why are you so gloomy?
Oh, so your love,
You could not be with!
The world is against,
You both, I see!
But I am happy,
That you tried your best!
You loved,
Made someone precious!
Now now, move on,
As the world, awaits!
Why are you so gloomy?

And He Was Staring At Her!!
Hi All,
Once I was sitting quietly by the banks of Hussain Sagar Lake and watching the waves on the surface formed by the wind flowing on the top.
Suddenly my mind started to conjure up a story! I would like to share it with you all!
Once in a party, a celebration of 10th Marriage anniversary of a lovely couple, folks were enjoying and making merry. The environment was lively and full of laughter and fun-stories being shared in small and large groups of friends and family all around the large Banquet hall.
Two women were busy chatting sitting on the corner chairs. They were discussing, how the life takes turns now and then and how everything is so expensive nowadays and how difficult it is to secure a place in a good school for their children.
Suddenly, one of the women sitting beside the two ladies, abruptly interrupted the incessant conversation and said to one of the two, "Hey Lady sorry to disturb, but when I utter the next few words, try not to look away in any direction or give any sudden reaction". The lady who was spoken to by a stranger was a bit apprehensive of what lies ahead in this conversation, but she said, "OK, tell me please."
The stranger said, "Honey, I have been sitting here for the past twenty minutes and I have been noticing that a guy sitting on the table, 2 tables on the right side from where we are, staring at you, now and then, between his chats with his buddies. Do you know that Man?". "Now slowly look there, he is in a dark black suit with slight strips with a pair of golden cuff links"
The lady, by listening to this, with anticipation of finding the man who is appreciative of her and without doubt is attracted to her, looked in the described direction. When she found the person, the staring-man, she blushed to an extent that her cheeks were flushed with blood and became pink.
Observing this change of expression and mood, the stranger lady said quizzically to her, "So, it seems that you know that Man?".
"Of course", she said, "I must be knowing him". "He is my dear Husband!"
Thanks for reading!

The Fast Experience!
Hi Readers,
I had started fasting a few months ago. On every Tuesday.
In the beginning it started as just sacrificing and skipping the regular meals. Poha with Filter Coffee in the Morning, Daal-Rice and Veggies in the Afternoon, Cookies with Cardamom Tea in the evening and finally Sabji-Roti with Raita-Achaar(Hindi: Pickle) in the Night.
I remember in the beginning, Tuesdays were very noisy, from the growling of the empty stomach, which felt useless on this day of the week. A bit of drowsiness and numbness from the voids left empty by the C6H12O6 molecules in the body-cells.
The Wednesday Mornings were celebrated like Diwali or Eid. Breakfast seemed like a Feast. Each grain of rice, each pellet of pulse and each dollop of Curry felt like Ambrosia. With each grain rubbing against the tongue, Saliva turned Savage. Brain registered the importance of each grain of edibles.
Slowly as the practice of fasting matured, my body parts got disciplined. Stomach subdued its rumbling and growling. The drowsiness diffused and the numbness normalized. The voids were now filled with energy. Fasting became the Freedom from the shackles of the mundane food-cycle. Tuesdays became the new Sundays of the week. Refreshing and revitalising.
My fast is non-religious. I do not want to please the Gods with my abstinence from food. (Though if they get pleased by any chance, any rewards from the skies above are welcome.) My fast is a way to reduce the noise from the incessant chaos and complexity to listen to my own heart-beats, to feel my own blood flowing through the veins, to bath in the warmth of the skin of my body. To be me again.
Tuesdays throw me back to the ground every time and reminds me that life is as simple as it can get and is as complex as you want it to be.
By the way, today is a Tuesday!

One Person Two Relationships
Hi Readers,
I have composed a poem, which flows through the incidence of growth of multitude of relationships with the same person! Here you go!
Gist:
Sometimes the transformation between the two relationships maintained with the same person become seamless. It is difficult to compare the two relationships. It is impossible to tell which one is important. But at the same time both the relationships are not related or dependant on each other. Both are enjoyable and makes the person special and irreplaceable.
Is someone is the one is not the relevant question. But the more important is that are you that person for someone. One is lucky to have such a person with oneself. For it increases the value of life, adds life to it. Special is not the person but special is the relation. Because there may not be any speciality between the same person and any other but when those two person come together then there is something special between them.
I have composed a poem, which flows through the incidence of growth of multitude of relationships with the same person! Here you go!
I met a person,
Not long ago.
A relation was built,
without much ado.
At first it was simple,
With relationship single.
Mind and Heart palpitating,
Observing and Learning.
Some will name every,
Single bond they make.
But here, could not be feasible,
just for the above sake.
Don't remember the day,
or the moment magical.
Another bond bifurcated,
forging identity dual.
With the person unique,
relations multiplied.
I was caught unawares,
unconsciously mesmerized.
Bonds toggled and tangled,
often uncared for and unnoticed.
The newer was stronger,
pushed us further, pulled us closer.
A day came of realization,
Ah! I could now name,
The bond latter.
I had gained cognition.
I confronted myself,
Mustered courage to speak,
To utter the Name,
Which was unspeakable.
Nothing remained the same,
The bond latter wobbled.
Alas it was followed by,
Magnitudes of pain.
Both looked helter skelter,
Reminisced and sought shelter.
None wished to fall apart
Be again pushed to the start.
The relation eschewed,
came to the rescue.
So ordinary and simple.
The cornerstone humble.
Still the duality remains,
coexisting in singularity.
Name is forseeken,
This one requires none.

My First Air-travel
Hi Reader,
The travel to Raipur by the JetLite Light Carrier Aircraft(LCA, 200 seater, 3x3) was fun and astonishing.
It is correctly said that only after one experiences the wonders of Science and Technology, one can truly understand it. It was true for Electricity, Internet, Mobile Communication and now it came true for the Air-Travel too!
For at least for an hour after getting off the air-plane, I was not able to believe that I travelled from the A.P. Capital, Hyderabad to C.G. Capital Raipur within a hour, which used to take at least 15 hours by train. Also an interesting observation is that even though, for the same distance, an A.C. ticket cost ratio between the train (Rs. 1000) and the air-plane (Rs. 3000) is 1:3, the ratio of travel-time is diminished 15 times i.e. 15:1.
Therefore it is quite a deal but only when undertaken according to urgency and importance of the trip. If there is no time constraint then train travel must be planned. But there is no comparison of the comfort and high-quality service of the air-travel.
A one-time must for all who are ready to be amazed!

Google DevFest 2011, Hyderabad
Hi Readers,
Finally the day had come, when I was going to be a part of the Google DevFest, 2011 being organised in our city, Hyderabad!
Boarded the 08:14 local train and got down at the Hafeezpet station(04:50 minutes only, cool). From there, took an auto to Izzat Nagar(Shilpa Apartments, Kondapur) and walked the rest of the distance to reach the Novotel hotel. The preparations were looking neat and grand and the security and the administration had inviting expressions on the faces. I was guided to the registration counter. Received a Google Bag and cute Google spiral notebook.
Awesome. I felt the same, when I stepped inside the grandest auditorium ever visited!. Ever!! It was so huge that I felt amazing standing there. None of the participants had arrived then. Walked to the stage and felt the music thumps played on the large amplifiers there!! Just awesome. Then and there I knew that I am going to love this event!
After few minutes, 2 of my colleagues and friends arrived and joined me. We had Cappuccino, served there. Then Mr Rajdeep Dua, Developer Advocate with the Google Developer Relations team, gave the keynote speech. There were a couple of interesting sessions on Android (an operating system for mobile devices from Google). We enjoyed the tasty-crispy cookies of various kinds and Coffee once again during the Tea-break.
Lunch was again beyond our expectation! Each and every dish served, from the Cream-Pea-Soup to the Chocolate-Cake, was just an example of fine dining! We engaged ourselves for an hour at the Lunch time.
Another series of informative sessions on Programming aides and Partner Talks from the representatives from two Indian Companies who have made it big using the Android Programming SDKs to develop Applications to be used on the Smart-phones running on Android!
Another Tea Break to enjoy the refreshing Cup of Java! Then the closing ceremony, after a couple of sessions on Google Maps and Places.
Waiting for the next year's DevFest now!!

The 60 Hour Rule Before You Say "I Love You"
Hi Readers,
Ever been in love? True Love? But then, you were not sure, how and when to express the same. You saw the sparks flying all around! But you could not dare to ignite the Fire! Now if it is then let me tell you a story!
A very long time ago Romeo was roaming around dishevelled in search of Juliet. He was in desperation and was on the verge of exhaustion and could collapse any moment! Then he saw a very serene and calm looking person walking towards him. The person was dressed like a monk! The person approached him and asked whether Romeo needed any help. Romeo told him his story. The Monk told that he is the Monk who had not Sold but had Donated his Ferrari! Romeo was impressed and asked for his advice. The Monk told that, "Sorry Son, your love is already beyond control, not even God can help you out! But I will give some Gyan(Hindi-Knowledge) for the future generations. So listen with full attention."
Do you understand love? Or do you just love a person and therefore understand the relationship with that person!
Gyan Point: Loving a person is altogether a different thing than loving to love!
When you fall in love with a person, you try your best to spend quality time with her/him. You talk with full consciousness and try your best to present yourself in a good light. You want to be a pleasant part of her/his life. You are jealous of others who are a better part of that person's life. You loath her/his absence. You sulk and get irritated when that person does not show up or does not respond in a expected or loving manner. Is this love? For most of us, it is!
A moment comes when you know that you are in love and now are at a crossroad of life when some decisions are to be made. At this stage some of you are in two kinds of dilemma:
So, Romeo where were we? Ah yes, discussing on the resolution of the dilemma, when to confess your love. See, Romeo, we all want love of others around us! Some of that we get from our Parents, Siblings, Elders on the virtue of a blood-relation and some we want to create on the virtue of physical/mental attraction, a need of companionship and feelings of having a friend around. When we establish a relationship ourselves, what is kept in mind? That we understand each other, minute subtleties of the other and whether the other satisfies the need of the relation(friend/companion) we get into. Nobody gets into a relation if there is nothing to seek in it. What is in it for me? The things can be abstract like love, joy, happiness, cheerfulness, like-mindedness, a confidant or can be material like money, social status, education. All these requires a time frame to attain. And that is a 60 Hour time-frame where you and the other person has already spent enough quality time taking note of each others attributes, habits, quirks, nature, behaviour and mental match.
These 60 Hours may be attained in a rapid and quick way if there are immediate opportunities present in abundant for sharing through personal interactions, telephonic conversations and written correspondence. The same may be achieved over a time-scale of a few months to a few years if there were no abundant opportunities of communication available coupled with numerous gaps in communication due to various reasons like, staying in different geographical locations.
So Romeo, I know you have spent a life time with Juliet, but if you would have confessed your love after a break-point of 60 Hours of your relationship, things might have not gone worse as they are now! Because, just after those 60 hours, one is at the crossroad where a delicate balance still exists from where one can return back to normalcy instead of sinking deep into the quagmire of one sided or rejected/failed love.
Romeo collapsed and died a dreadful and painful death!
Happy Loving!!
Ever been in love? True Love? But then, you were not sure, how and when to express the same. You saw the sparks flying all around! But you could not dare to ignite the Fire! Now if it is then let me tell you a story!
A very long time ago Romeo was roaming around dishevelled in search of Juliet. He was in desperation and was on the verge of exhaustion and could collapse any moment! Then he saw a very serene and calm looking person walking towards him. The person was dressed like a monk! The person approached him and asked whether Romeo needed any help. Romeo told him his story. The Monk told that he is the Monk who had not Sold but had Donated his Ferrari! Romeo was impressed and asked for his advice. The Monk told that, "Sorry Son, your love is already beyond control, not even God can help you out! But I will give some Gyan(Hindi-Knowledge) for the future generations. So listen with full attention."
Do you understand love? Or do you just love a person and therefore understand the relationship with that person!
Gyan Point: Loving a person is altogether a different thing than loving to love!
When you fall in love with a person, you try your best to spend quality time with her/him. You talk with full consciousness and try your best to present yourself in a good light. You want to be a pleasant part of her/his life. You are jealous of others who are a better part of that person's life. You loath her/his absence. You sulk and get irritated when that person does not show up or does not respond in a expected or loving manner. Is this love? For most of us, it is!
A moment comes when you know that you are in love and now are at a crossroad of life when some decisions are to be made. At this stage some of you are in two kinds of dilemma:
- One, that the other person MAY also be in love but not sure whether she/he is ready for the commitment which you are in for.
- Second, that you are not at all sure of the love of the other person but want to take a chance by letting her/him know and then see what happens next!
So, Romeo where were we? Ah yes, discussing on the resolution of the dilemma, when to confess your love. See, Romeo, we all want love of others around us! Some of that we get from our Parents, Siblings, Elders on the virtue of a blood-relation and some we want to create on the virtue of physical/mental attraction, a need of companionship and feelings of having a friend around. When we establish a relationship ourselves, what is kept in mind? That we understand each other, minute subtleties of the other and whether the other satisfies the need of the relation(friend/companion) we get into. Nobody gets into a relation if there is nothing to seek in it. What is in it for me? The things can be abstract like love, joy, happiness, cheerfulness, like-mindedness, a confidant or can be material like money, social status, education. All these requires a time frame to attain.

Why Pay Heed To Computer Ergonomics?
Hi Readers,
Working as a Software Development Engineer, I have observed that many of us, do not even know that they are slowly making themselves physically handicapped, even though they have been blessed with quite a functional brain and equally functionally body attached with it.
It has been now a common scene where Computer Workstation users are seen sitting with a hunched back and neck awkwardly craned up or bowed down and the hands angled down limply. Equally pitiable is the sight of an Engineer, completing one's task, almost physically sucked in towards the Laptop Display and the hands converging atop the small Keyboard.
Why do not we realize that setting up the place of work according to the body parameters, following the computer ergonomics, is a one time effort which pays huge benefits and long term comfort and prevention of diseases like spondylarthritis, joint pains at the fingers and gradual loss of eyesight.
Many of us do not even think about asking the Facilities and Administration Department of the organisation for a adjustment of the monitor screen, Keyboard position and other accessories around them, although they might be daily suffering from discomfort arising from the incorrect posture and inadequate exercise.
Many of the organisations provide their employees world-class ergonomic computer desks and chairs which has minimum of 5 adjustments like adjustments for sitting height, arm-rest position, Keyboard and mouse drawer and backrest restrainer. Many of us are oblivious of these features and fail to utilize the same.
Over the period of time these discomforts takes the form of crippling diseases and permanent disabilities. All this can be prevented by following simple and logical ergonomic settings at workplace and home.
Happy working!

A Poem For The Farewell
Dear Person, who is going away!
Your presence today,
Made me forget,
That tears are waiting,
For me, when you are gone.
The day tomorrow,
I don't know,
How will I continue,
With out you.
The hope that,
We are destined,
To meet again,
Makes me hope again.
You were the one,
You are the one,
You will be the one,
For me, the one.
You fare well,
as we bid each other,
Farewell,
Oh this pain, Oh I can't say more...
The Day has come,
To say Good-bye.
I do not want to,
Mean Good-bye.
To say Good-bye.
I do not want to,
Mean Good-bye.
Your presence today,
Made me forget,
That tears are waiting,
For me, when you are gone.
The day tomorrow,
I don't know,
How will I continue,
With out you.
The hope that,
We are destined,
To meet again,
Makes me hope again.
You were the one,
You are the one,
You will be the one,
For me, the one.
You fare well,
as we bid each other,
Farewell,
Oh this pain, Oh I can't say more...

The Day When The Crows Attacked Me
Hi Readers!
I was all dressed up for the office. Obviously, it was a Monday and I was happy to go to office after a satisfying and fulfilled weekend. Also Monday started with a bang. I woke up sharp at 04:45(though the alarm was set for 04:30, yeah nobody is perfect, no). Then had a revoltingly sharp Lemonade and then switched on the Laptop (Nobita) to work on one of the blog articles about the glory of biking (publishing soon)! Then at 06:00, wore all the armour and biked for a total of 30 kms.
So I set out for office and just then I saw a sad looking crow sitting on the side of the lane, staring at the cemented path, deep in thought. It was a peculiar sight since a couple of days ago, when I was biking, a group of crows were energetically sorting some business out on the biking track and when my bike approached near the crow-team they flew away all complaining and angry. And, here this guy was ignoring my presence. May be a rude one, I thought.
I was in a hurry and therefore I proceeded for the local train station. A few more minutes remaining for the scheduled arrival. Just as I was walking and was at the least distance from the rude-crow, I got hit by something on the top of my head. I jumped in surprise. I cursed under my breath. I turned to see what had happened. I found that a friend of the Rudy landed on my head and had now placed itself near the Rudy.
Everything was clear then. That crow was neither rude nor in deep thinking. It was injured or was too old to carry out further crowing around. And the friends of it thought that I was going to hurt it, so they attacked me. I silently prayed for the Rudy and proceeded towards the station.

Pen-sive Disorder
Hi Readers,
Throughtout my lived life, I have been requested for a pen, many a times! At places, like railway reservation counter, banks, college classrooms, examination halls, offices; by acquaintances and strangers alike. In these situations the status and importance of the Pen was just as that of a sword in the battlefield. Oh yes, "Pen is mightier than a sword". Yes, it is!
The urge to suddenly note down something important as a phone number, an address or a name if not quenched, disturbs the body and unsatisfies the soul. And then if it is magnified by the non-availability of a puny pen at your service then there is nothing greater evil than that.
What amuses more is that the mightier than the Sword, Pen, loses all its importance and usefulness in the requester's hands when all the matters to be noted are noted down and all the application forms have been duly filled. The Pen as an object obliterates from the requester's mind in such a way that the thought of respectfully returning the Pen to the Original Owner completely slips off the mind.
Such is the world and its affairs, alas Pen, you will always have the importance in the hands of a true soul, just as Thor had for its Hammer.
Take care, My Pen, with whomsoeever you are with now. May your ink never dries out!
