retrospection - finding about me

From the month of July to August, my day to day life has taught me many things. They ranged from taking care of my mother, filling the gap of my sister who went to study in other state,how to get rid of boredom, office tensions and health concerns.

I want to say a few lines about my north india trip. I went to Gwalior and Agra to have a change in my routine. It turned out to be horrible. Madhya Pradesh is completely a backward state which doesnt have proper transport facilities. Even though its well connected by railways, the stations are the most horrible places. There are thousands and thousands of house flies on the platforms. Looks like the platforms are not cleaned for ages and you find all kinds of rotten things. After looking out the conditions there, I was thinking that I dont have any right to complain about Hyderabad. Isn't it the best city ever lived and enjoyed. The city Bhopal doesnt even look like the capital of the state. I guess the politicians there are just sitting in big houses and having hukka. They are not considering the development of the state. The same is with Agra(Uttar Pradesh). Except for Taj Mahal I resented everything there. All most all of them are cheaters and want money earned by illegal ways.


I would like to tell the best part about my journey. It was the deep forest and small rivulets that were flowing through it. The rains made the forest look more beautiful with lots of greenary. Most of the tribals there are very simple in living with just a small hut and one or two cows and buffaloes. Most of the cultivation is done on the hillside. I forgot the name of that cultivation though. Its a very beautiful sight. If one wants to escape the monotonous city life, MP is the best place and also North-East. While enjoying nature, I would give up my luxuries.
Hmm... few lines turned out to be 2 paragraphs.


Now I am thinking what is the retrospection i was going to write???
I completed reading a novel "keep off the grass" by Karan Bajaj.
My verdict: Its not great. Its less than average. Though he added funny elements and eye-opener lines, I didnt find it amazing book to read.
I will continue in my next post.

first time...what happened for the first time???

Well... you take anything to happen in life... something has to happen for the first time...
I realized that something happened with me for the first time in life :)

January 13 2009, 2:25pm.
I got into my office elevator at ground floor along with my lead Saritha.
I pressed the 5 number.
It started moving and I was busy chatting with Saritha.
When we were crossing third floor, suddenly everything went dark and there was a loud sound with a big jerk indicating that it stopped. I realized that power was not there, so our lift has stopped.
My heart was beating at a very fast rate and without my knowledge I caught hold of Saritha's hand. It was like a child holding mothers hand when something is scary.
As it was dark, I couldnt see anything.. not even Saritha's face :(

I asked her while being little panicked, "Are you not afraid Saritha?"
She replied, " I am afraid but I am not showing that so that you wont be more panicked!!"
That reply has touched my heart... I didnt expect such a reply though.

We were there in the same situation for about a minute.
Then the power came. I saw that our lift has stopped in between 3rd and 4th floor.
Security guard was speaking from some room and as there was a speaker in every lift, we could hear him. He asked if we are fine. We said yes and told him to immediately start the lift so that we get can out from there.
We went to the fifth floor and this is the incident that I have faced for the first time in my life :D
Now I could understand why people are scared when the elevator stops abruptly in movies :P

Struck in an elevator - First time it happened in my life :) and i loved it... infact i enjoyed the moments that came after my panic.
