It was late for me from my office to reach home one day. Reason ? The cursing rainfall of Bangalore roads, which are filled with water, drenching you up when a car zooms by, reaches the inner part of your spectacles when the helmet doesn't have a plastic guard which troubles the most important part of the journey, driving ! But what excited me before the starting point is the fact, how this stupid rainfall can really catch your eyes.
It was 15 minutes to 6P.M one day and I noticed thick, black clouds roaming over the office signing a terrible output in the end. Poor, Lazy and dull head of mine, I never got up from my seat, relishing deliciously made Masala Puri in the canteen with friends. But when I actually got up, trouble started. I just reached my cubicle to pick up my bag (which has nothing but a phone and purse to store.. what an info ! ) and headed straight away to the parking yard to get my bike. I really wanted to escape this mess which will happen later for sure. But Nature had its own timing.
As I zoomed past the yard, it started to pour up. I had no option but to park as I didn't had raincoats / any safe equipment to do with. And then, i noticed how rain really mesmerizes you.
When it rains, and that too, after a very long time, you really want to get drenched into it. The downpour was very much, inviting. The dance of the trees to the flow of rain sounded like a singing group in a church showed in films, swinging and enjoying. The wind sweeps the clouds which diverts the water that makes it a trail of remains. Everything wet and really eye catching. Everybody justs runs to a shade to find some shelter and that excitement of running itself is something special. You are very much desperate to do something which I find missing in myself !
Overall, the Bangalore rains cause trouble on the roads for drivers but it is certainly a good treat to do with and not part whatsoever.

A Beautiful, Cunning Lady.
Sometimes I feel that how people plan their career graph in a way so smooth and planned way. If you start looking about their pattern, it clearly says "My way or No way"!
How can I came about this topic? Well, by just lazying in the day, of how popular persons have their lifestyles like. Truly commendable, the point is to know the pieces and learn from it.
It starts from a lady, who say that she was a topper in her class in school days. Later, a beauty contest for which all girls come up to show the world that, they can do something for themselves in which, our small girl is also interested. She does all the research required to gain entry into this competition as she had something to prove, unlike other girls who are trying to sneak in only for fame or money. The research was quite impressive, to have an entry straight into a field where in you either get a lot or loose everything, Films !
If you look into the way these competitions are held, with so much glamor and pomp that every girl in this country can dream of becoming a queen of this land. No doubt, the cosmetic industry is always in the boom time even at this point of recession ! So much plastic or artificial faces and everything seem to be original and beautiful though, in fact, it actually isn't. But our little girl had something else in her mind.
She gained an entry into the competition and won it. Not a big deal these days, as it was one in earlier times. Later the world came to know that it was just a trump card to her destination ! A director picked her up as the leading lady of the film he was working, straight on ! She not only charmed people because of her beauty but also some part of her acting abilities as well. When her films started to click, then a strange turn happened unlike others.
She started to sign only such films having her as the center-stage. The film industry mainly runs on a hero-centric film, the dream-land, supermaniacal scenes, the unimaginable kind of love stories and stunts that a hero portrays is the bottomline for a movie to be a hit. But this lady, as she grew, came only to such films where in it was a heroine-oriented one. Not much of commercial cinema came into her hands, but she was very persistent that it will lead to what she wanted. And yo ! The world started to look her as an ambassador of the Indian Film Industry which no other actor even dared to dream ! She became the new face of India across the world in respect to her line of work. Most of the established actors feel that the Indian Market is quite so big that it is enough to fill up their pockets, but not this lady ! She even did some international films and got global attention too !
Meanwhile, while all this was happening, she used to get involved in a lot of relationships which either where wound so tight that anybody wished to snap from it or so loose that it didn't make any sense or just to stay in public's eyes. Media and other film people might have thought of her action plan about her marriage and other personal stuff which she quietened everybody by taking a huge plunge of marrying a superstar's son which nobody even though of ! Now, maybe that's what a cunning mind works really like !!
Most of her fans admire the beauty of her presence, but what tickles me the most is the mind or brains behind all of this . More catchy point is that others are making her as role-model or at the least, ape some of her styles, be it glamor or acting or even representing India !!

Whatta Trip!
Hats off to our friendships. This thing can take you to many things. And for me, the most memorable moment in my life.
We were 10 of us sitting on a cool, lazy Friday evening sipping our tea when suddenly one of us popped up with an idea to do something wacky. Everybody agreed for it. We all really wanted something that we never ever dreamt of because of the usual routine work that was nagging us down.
And that was, going on a trip of 300+ kms by bike! At the least, I hadnt seen this kind of craze in bikes. And best thing was, everybody agreed on it! So, we planned for a road trip to a place where water falls from high mountains, in greater amounts and sounding like thunder.
All of us got up the very next day at 5 A.M for this one-of-a-kind trip. Dressed up in cool casuals and some jackets put up so as to wade off the heavy wind, we started off. Everybody was in full swing and excited. So, there started our journey.
We reached a place to halt for sometime at some 80 kms from Bangalore. This was covered in just one hour flat! I had never seen such an experience and it was terrific. The usual thing in my life was to use bike for some reasons, be it reaching destination or pull it up for work. This totally vibrated my senses! Awesome one that was..
Then, we pulled up to reach the destination and we were spell bounded for some time. The water, which was calm at the top, suddenly came roaring down to mesmerize people watching it. What a view it was! It tempted some of our guys to have a dip at the falls below,but we had to make a move. So, we finished it and started our journey again in those deadly, powerful cycles.
The road ahead was a circus to the drivers. Terrible roads trying to say 'Help us'. The worst maintained roads ever seen. Naturally, this causes for a breakdown in those mean machines and our bike went flat in tyres. Next came the repair thing which was done successfully but the worst was in front of our eyes after this.
Suddenly, a pack of policemen came to check why these idiots stopped their bikes in middle of the road and started to check all documents. The real fun came in now. My bike dint had the papers itself!
As we were bachelors, they found the so-called 'Bakras' to have a taste of some police power. We pleaded them, literally, by asking us to forgive and god only knows,what came in those minds, let us off. We were dumbfounded for sometime thinking "is this our country"??
We then headed off to a nearby place. Then came the task of finding a room to halt for the night. Since cricket fever was going on, we planned for a motel which has TV for live proceedings. And that dint disappoint us in the end.
The match was a nail-biting performance done by our Dhoni guys against the bullish Gillies! That was a match that I had seen fully only after the world cup 2003!Finally, the match ended with only one slogan on all of our guys, "Chak De, India"!
The next day was a good one, seeing all the places that we planned for and finally landed in our homes late night.
But, one thing. The bike is surely going to rule people. And, this is why they like pulling these machines and become ROADIES! Cheers to biking!!
