Travelling bigger....


I still remember the day, almost three years back when I travelled in air for the first time in my life. It was really a milestone for me, since at such an early age, I was lucky enough to board a flight, and that too an all expense paid trip, courtesy my company, WALTER. What if it was a local flight! First ups are always special. It was a Jet flight from Pune to Kerala for our yearly Sales Conference. All the preparations for the day had been done and the moment came, all like me were excited but I am sure nobody could have matched my excitement.
I arrived at the airport in full enthusiasm and zeal to capture the sky, and as I entered the airport and was doing the check in formalities, the announcements and the flights sounds were just like music to my ears, waiting for the right track or in other words the announcement of the right flight to play on the PA system. And then after a long wait of about an hour the song I wanted played, and there I was up in a bang to board and probably the first of my flight attendees to form a queue to enter the flight. At that point I had a first glimpse of what people called the main attraction of flight travel “Airhostess” and that sent my adrenalin pumping even faster. After having greeted me, the beautiful airhostess wished me a safe journey and a memorable flight, which I was surely supposed to have.

Then after walking through I got a glimpse of a huge creature which was waiting to take us onboard and fly us through within minutes towards our destination, such was the charm and the appeal of the aircraft that it still is fresh in my eyes even after so many years. After entering it and after searching for my seat number, what else could I have asked for but a window seat, and there it was waiting for my ‘bum’ to rest on it. And then began the journey into the clouds with loads and loads of snaps capturing each and every moment from the takeoff to the airhostess in my camera. That one hour almost consumed the entire battery of my camera and added around 250 photos to my database, so much was the energy and the excitement.
Today after almost three years my flight travels within India have jumped to almost 20 flights and now today a travel by a flight for me seems to be like a travel by a train for an average individual. But nevertheless my first journey still remains a memorable part of my life and is still as fresh in my mind as if it happened a few days ago.

Now begins the journey to travel International and I hope my first journey due on the 9th of this month to Hong Kong adds in new memories and marks a start of an era of International flight travel………….. Eagerly waiting for my right track to play at the international Airport…. Hong Kong I’m coming ……..

P.S – Had forgotten to post this blog, had written it before my travel to Singapore which was on the 9th of August 2011.

It’s my Birthday…


It’s the season of enjoyment and celebrations at every home, its marks the peak of the festive season and its great pleasure to have your birthday on this auspicious occasion. As expected, but this time with a fairly bigger response was the start of the celebrations at around 12pm. My old pals and my mandal friends started with a cake makeover for me and thus began the long lasting celebration. The day followed with lots and lots of phones, texts, face book notifications, and tweets and not to forget personal visits of many of my friends. At one point I wished that I had a secretary who would attend to my calls or reply to my texts, such big was the response, but surely this pain was far far lower than the sense of achievement and the feel good factor I gained through these wishes. They really added more flavor to my celebrations and raised me towards higher altitudes of joy.

This celebration takes me to 26 years on this earth and if I look back I really can’t realize how these years went by, but surely there nothing to regret till now and wish the same old days repeat for me and my well wishers and time passes by in peace and joy for everyone. Special wishes today consisted from the IT gaint, Google wishing me on its homepage which really put me in the sky, and then the real lord supporting me with the rains.

Thanks a lot everyone, for making this day special again! LOVE U ALL!!

This is a story about a boy...

       This is a story about a boy, who was born about 25 years back.  Before his birth there was no boy in the family and all his uncles, aunts, and cousins were blessed with daughters. But one fine day all the prayers of the family were answered and it marked the arrival of the dominant sex into the family, in the form of his birth and the family was overwhelmed.  Such was his lucky charm that immediately after his birth, within the next two days one of his aunts was blessed with a son and within the next month one of his paternal uncle was blessed with another son.  So began the building up of the national team J
       He was a scholar since birth and was pampered a lot in the family, at the same time he use to really work hard in his homework to achieve the best grades in school. In his early childhood he was looked upon as an ideal child by every other mother in his society. Right from school to college he maintained his good merit and got out with flying colors at an aggregate of 84% in SSC and a handsome 86% in HSC, crossing the 90%  marks in both PCM and PCB groups.
     After college as was his cadre; he opted for engineering and topped the class in the second year of engineering in his specialization of mechanical engineering. Following suit, he maintained his track record in engineering and was always above first class in all of the semesters. Such was his intellectual capacity that he received three calls at the end of his course from stalwarts like Mahindra, Satyam and Walter. Taking into account his vision of life, he decided to stick to Walter as it was offering a location based in his home town Pune. He continued there and gained respect and learnt and enjoyed a lot in the company to final opt out from there after completing more than three years. Today he is working at Atlas Copco……
      Looking at his personal life, the more we say the less it is…. starting from driving cars to driving horses, playing music to dancing, writing blogs to photography,  Dj-ing to partying, making friends to socializing, all are a part of his daily life. Such a wonderful personality is now on the verge/lookout for someone who would share these wonderful things with him in his second phase of life and when I ask him what sort of women you want . He says remembering one of his favorite song from a Govinda movie which goes as ,


 “Ek Ladki Chahiye Khaas Khaas,  Par Ho Woh B.E Paas Paas
Laakhon Mein Ek Haseena Ho, Har Waqt Rahe Mere Aas Paas
Uska Standard Bhi High Chahiye, Mujhko Aisi Hi Fi Ek Lugayi Chahiye”
