Move on !

Hi !
and Hi !
and Hi ! again !!

I say Hi's taking gaps just to sense the gap it has/had been since the last I blogged in !
Well , for sure I like the 'Break K Baad' policy and would always advocate for the same but it would be bad if I limit a blog within such categories* .Each one of us has two faces ,one for the outer world and the other for the own self , and it is here when I think one ought to have a private  life ,I have it too !! and blog is a genuine blend of these two faces, and yeah !! whether you hop in once a year or the hundredth time , it is still yours and you peep in with your dual face  !

Now , for/with an in - job life ,hands drenched in more than one professions, all this in quest for a subject to variety time, it gets rather tough to sink in volatile emotions /thoughts , primarily when you  are in the learning phase; when each threshold stamps on a  contrast to a prior held view..
The past time with a lot of travel on calendar, both corporate n offcorporate , has left with little time in hand...the little time I refer to is the futile time ...so better not to have it !
For sure ,I have uncommon ways of spending the weekends unlike those of my beloved IT geeks but then ,I can assirt that Im lovin this Sold Ferrari Monk-ey status of mine though it comes with the accusations of wierdiness ,non emotions and carelessness !
And yes, like I said previously ,it feels vow to stay uncategorised * ...just as a blog is !!
Cya !
PS: Working with Fastrack for the while .Ri8 now ,at the Mumbai Expressway (@120 !!_whoo !
Move on !

The Epic experience !

The Epic .. well ! the first Indian browser encapsulating the needs and flexibilty of the Indian surfers..
Developed by a Bangalore based software company over the  Mozilla   Firefox Platform .
At the first encounter ,it gives you an experience  of total Add-ons..
To be accurate/contrary  here ..mine was " The Epic has stopped working !"
Its one-source service in all spheres of  news(local + national ) ,entertainment(latest Hollywood+ Bollywood +Regional +  Music Albums),sports , softwares,videos -channels,  the antivirus enhancement(E Set),and writing in 12 Indian languages  ...all these are  worth to be mentioned ! Also the wide variety of excellent Add-ons as I  previously said , along the sidebar  ..are really time saving and accurate !
Equipped with these ,Epic seems  pretty handy loaded with eye candy elements,providing a unique Indian browsing experience !
Apart from it , technically speaking (can do so now .. @the IT Engineer* tag) it  actually holds no innovation ...all appreciation it may owe is attributed to the Mozilla for sure ! But then,I may be wrong here from commercial point of view ...I guess their innovation lies in the very idea of their service mode ; easy approach and user friendliness facilitated  as a mall shopping ...all at one situ ! Why didnt anyone get this idea before ?  It  uses some features of Chrome  also ,however the install-uninstall syndrome may be a bit irritating initially .Look wise ..I would  say it needed a litte more furnishing !


Anyways ,whether or how far the Epic's hopes would be justified depends upon the newly-epiced  crowd of Indian browsers  :)........and that includes bloggers too !!

:) :)
bye !
Good Night India !

P.S : Listening  to  the newly Acon & Enrique Euphoria at the Epic ;; Signing off  this post through Epic !

Sabse Bada Rupaiya !

contd............

Finalised is the symbol today by the cabinet !



An amalgam of the Devanagari ‘Ra’ and the Roman capital ‘R’ without the stem…. [it] is based on the Tricolour and “arithmetic equivalence”. While the white space between the two horizontal lines gives the impression of the national flag with the Ashok Chakra, the two bold parallel lines stand for ‘equals to’, representing balance in the economy, both within and with other economies of the world.

Sabse Bada Rupaiya !


 Will I take back home a fatter salary ?
Will my investments yield higher returns ?
Will car prices fall ?
Will my business benefit ?

Well ! such may be the picture common of us all .. 
truly ! sabse bada rupaiya !!
but there is another India that many of us have a passing acquitance with !Its an India of several hundred million people who barely make a few rupees a day !!

And what if the meagre they make has  the sign changed now ??

(Beg your pardon for the stupidity here ,intend to ignore the poverty- emotions,they  appear too repetitive to read on/hear of  !)
The Finance ministry has shortlisted five symbols for the rupee sign, all of them designed to mirror the country’s rich history and culture. All the five shortlisted designs are simple and uncomplicated, for both countrymen and global .

In the Union Budget 2010 speech, the finance minister Pranab Mukherjee announced that the Indian rupee will soon join a select league of global currencies by having a distinct symbol...

What now then .....the keyboards would have an additional sign next to $ ...The notes would be revived and there would be a new format for  price tags !!

However  it is to be brooded over ..whether mere symbols can ameliorate the scenario!!

However in the anticipation of the same ,I take your leave now :):)
 cya ,

love, 
astha :)

The 11 Number !!

Well ...there are always ample scopes of resuming a genuine blog! Quoting this ....I think of a new blog entry via the 11 no. bus..

The LKO transport as  I talk of has seen consistent improvement during the last few years.The capital has almost  bid bye to the khatara buses..which have for long been replaced by the renovated CNG ,electronic display ones..I wonder when/ifever LKO would have the tromb/metro culture  but the autos yes ! ..run parallel to the buses,while the rickshaws stay limited ..If I get critical,they are confined to sections,say aunties returning after afternoon shopping or with the kids after school or ...or to the uncles across the veg-fruit markets,picking up milk-bread packets  or...or kaki-kakas who choose it as a return way of evening walks ! (instances totally needless here :P).

And genuinely to talk of fares, if I confine the comparison within U.P. , it is a bit more with the autos asking more !(Nawab chale gaye ..jane kahan jaageer rakh gaye !).
From 6 A.M onwards ,running on the well furnished ,nicely greased roads (courtesy:CM) of Gomtinagar,these buses wont let you wait for more than 10 minutes, and that you can well pass sharing glances with Ms deepika @BSNL hoardings or watching people who are watching you,,keeping in mind that it takes 8.2 seconds to fall in love  at the first sight !......and while you are up  at the bus  ,follow some 'no-rules' like always standing ..what care the entire bus is vacant for you ..eyeing more frequently the people on the track than in the bus,missing no inner happenings,sighing off c'mon uncle !! c'mon aunty !! when they say/do something which appears invalid to you !  and  not choosing to pay unless the conductor comes to you and  asks for ! ,,apply  'keep the change' fundas etc etc ...

change se yaad aya !!!would wish to change post for another one ..'The sign change of rupee'!!

c u then :)
 regards ,

astha  !

Hindu marriages in U.P.

Hi frenz,, Hindu marriage season "sahalag" is going on ..Well,residing in a posh zone..it does offer you invitations to some high class marriages ....But there are many things .I dont understand about hindu marriages .
The blatant exorbitant expenditure ,
Why are all marriages in night ?? The entire philosophy follows ...vidaayi taaron ki chaon mein ,but while yhe Baraat is always late !! the actual vidaayi takes place in the morning !

Thousands of senseless ceremonies , I do not think that the day of marriage is a happy day for any bride andgroom because of these ceremonies but then I may be wrong
Horrible music is quite popular in UP ,even an original version ..it is sung in a horrible screechy  male voice :  hello hello 123 check check 


Long hours sitting at stage,posing for hundreds of photographs most with strangers and relatives whom one would never again see in life !

One thing very common is the entire sysytem of not wearing woolens ...however it may be permissible in case of hot ones like me ! :) The men are all suited up. Are they ever in backless? sleeveless? (ok not so gay display) but are they ever in just trousers and shirts?

And then ,What I also don't understand is the entire floral decoration in bed room . Suhaag -Raat is actually a floral night ! What's the need? is it an achievement to count the number of crushed flowers in morning? or does cleaning the rotten flowery mess a day or two later gives inexpressible joy ? why waste so many flowers?

Ideally there should be court marriage and the day next n a grand reception (lunch) for closed friends. Does one like being dragged to marriages of acquaintances? NO, so why call acquaintances for yours?

Then there is this entire element of bitching and criticism , no one is ever satisfied after attending a marriage. What was she wearing . He was so snobby. No one took care of the relatives . She wears the same jewellery every time etc. etc.. Also in case anyone is facing marital problems , unknown to him/ her the entire family and far off relatives discuss the subject with gay abandon.

This one stupid comment generally made by dadi's / Nani's बिलकुल राम सीता कि जोड़ी हैं | OK 1st of all no one should wish for a life like them and 2ndly give me a break! ....

I wonder what this institution actually deals with !Simple Mary - Hales like Mangalam bhagwan vishnu ...... dont change anything ! I mean shaadi ke baad bhi the same thing happens ..it does nt change ,,your work ,,your other things etc etc ....
Well,this can mean that i'm advocating love marriages here ....Walking over to the drawing room with the tray in hand ,switching over from skirts-jeans to heavy suits and even other some crappy things amidst and finally ...getting to marry one and forcing youselves to love your husband coz you have to ...?Anyway ,,,no debate intended here ,,i feel love marriages are good as long as they dont turn to arranged ones ,,and the arranged are good only if they turn to like love-marriages. I can go on forever on this issue this topic...although I am just very far from the marriage - vantage and would like to push it as far as I can !! Before that ,I would like to make one quick observation on mothers of eligible bachelors. This has been my observation since childhood. These women (barring the educated sober rare exceptions of course ) are a menace at any marriage. She somehow has a very superior air around her, it's like every one at the marriage gathering's highly impressed with her son and all girls wanna marry him.

Choice/Option

Well,its all about time.I fail to figure out how the past years here passed away,however with the tough status- Unplaced !!!while no CS/IT cos in mood to entertain us ....where do happy go lucky engineers like us go ?When I passed out my high school ,I felt like saying to my mom-dad ...that i didnt want to study further..Ofcourse I didnt!...for I had no choice !!!
Dancing all turns ,sporting all games,acting all dramas,or even writing a minor blog ..not one provides a scope enough against not studying furthur.I wonder if in such a scenario shaadi appears to be an easy option!

:)-(:

hallo everyone ! ya ! me up afta a long tym ! where had I been ? Why didnt I post ? Was i busy at something ..apprehensions or any genuine reasons?? Engaged in things like ...Jinnah ,US Open or something as meagre as the "protein memory " seminar I did this week ...or to be more crucial ..Did my blog suffer from a swine flu? Alas ! even capitalist pigs failed to offer me thoughts !
So now,,you can well guess that I did not appear for a reason as subtle as mood ( No snobbery intended please ! )
