Lost Boy Found..........!!!!!!!!


That was the first time I was traveling to Thirtahalli from Bangalore. I was exited because I was meeting all my cousins after long time, my tickets were booked for the 10:30 PM Kupalli bus. I reached bus stand at 10 PM and started searching for the bus. Once I got the bus ticket checked I had 15mins, so I thought of buying mineral water. As my platform was next to the Madikeri platform I started looking at people there. Suddenly I saw a small boy begging. He came to me and asked for 10 Rs. I though I will buy him something to eat than given him money and asked him why he needs money and that too 10 Rs. He said he is wants to go to Coorg. Coorg..!!! "where in coorg" I asked him. He said he is from bagamandala and his name is devaiah. His uncle bought him here promising him better education but he was made to work. Now he wanted to go back home at Bagamandala but dint have money nor phone number to contact any one.
He was totally confused, I felt sad seeing him. Actually i was more confused then that boy. I asked him how much money he had and he had collected 140 Rs, but the bus charge was 240 Rs. I was getting late, I just had 5 mins for my bus to move and I wanted to help this boy also. I just checked how much money and I had 350 Rs, more than enough to help the boy. I told the boy to check if there were seats available in the bus and bought a ticket for him to Madikeri. I told the conductor to keep an eye on him. I gave my visiting card to the boy and told him to call me once he reaches or on Sunday and once again check if the boy was seated in his place and boarded my bus happily. I was happy because I had helped someone in need, but still worried if the boy would reach his house.
Sunday morning I got a call from an unknown number thanking me for sending his uncle's son back home, his story was completely different but I was happy that he reached home safely.

Lucky bugger...........!!!


Nov 2008 :

First week of our training , most of the time was spent in the lift, waiting for the cab and in the cafeteria. The first one week was the best days of my life. The only sad thing was there was only one girl in the batch of 20. That girl came with the package( with the boy friend who was 6 feet tall ) this had resulted to lot of gay jokes the office. Only time we could check out girl was while waiting for the cab. First thing we did after logging out was checking girls name in the cab list.


This was the last working day of the week, I checked the list. I was the only person who had to take the cab # 69. All my colleges started of with the gay jokes. I sat in the front seat with the sad face. Suddenly I could see a pretty girl running towards my cab. I could see my friend's jaws on the floor. She asked the driver weather the cab is routed to indiranagar because she has a special drop request. Driver said yes, she got into the cab. Trust me I was flying in air. I stated getting calls from my friends.

Shahid : “Mache what a figure da, lucky bugger talk to me now don't drop the call". I cut the call and switched off the phone.

Because a girl had boarded the cab a security person has to be in the cab.

The security had to sit in the front, so I went and sat next to her. I was thinking of the ways to start the conversation, by then she asked me if I was the first one to get down. I said yes.

Now I had a chance to talk to her, asked her why she has a special drop request. She said she was in the cafeteria and missed her scheduled cab. To crack a joke I said “Ho then u spend most of the time in the cafeteria like I spend my time in the lift". She just smiled. I asked her “which process are you into? ". She said “Am not into any process, am a Trainer". I Smiled at her. She asked me if Harsh was my trainer. I said YES and shut my mouth.

EYE 2 EYE



2003 Sep 22:

I had joined engineering in CIT. I was scared, dazed and confused, angry, happy and of course excited……………. Scared because, I had taken engineering after passing my PUC with 43% (It was like Venkatesh Prasad planning to score a century against Australia), Confused because, I didn’t even know either to study or enjoy my college life, Angry because, I wanted to take up BBM in Bangalore or Mangalore and had landed up in Coorg, But then I was happy in a way because I knew there would be some pretty looking Coorgi chick.
Two of my good old friends Pachith and Vijay (names changed) had also joined the same college. First day at the college, and I was in my own world. I was wearing a low waist jeans, red canvas shoe, and half sleeves shirt with an orange bag. I was in no mood to listen to the lecture and was busy checking out the girls in the class. Recalling my entire old pick up lines.

2nd day:
That was the second day in the hostel and Pachith came to my room. We started to talk about our old school and stuffs. I was not at all interested because I wanted to know if he had seen any good looking chick in the college. I asked him if he had seen anyone in the college. The way Pachith reacted, Gosh..!!! And the lecture he gave about why we shouldn’t see girls or talk to them and Blah blah… Alas..!!! pissed me off big time.

2nd week:
Days passed by and I was busy in my own world. Suddenly one day pachith was talking about a girl whom he felt was staring at him and I happily joined the conversation. But the issue was, he didn’t like any girl staring at him and he wanted to scold the girl who used to stare at him everyday. The whole day I was laughing thinking of it and also had messaged some of my old school friends to tell this funny story of pachith. I was very curious to know who the girl was. I always forgot to ask pachith about the girl in the class room.

3rd week:
We used to travel in the college bus from our college to the hostel which was about 9 km away. We used to have a mind blasting time traveling to and fro in our college bus and Yeahh..!!! Pachith started his story all over again, and I curiously wanted to know who the girl was and stuff. Pachith said” I sit in the left row 3rd bench and the girl sits in the middle row last bench , when ever I turn back I can see her staring at me and sometimes even smiling, Monday, I am going to scold her for sure “. I said Pachith not to scold her because he is lucky that some girl is hitting on him.

Monday:
We reached our class at 7:45 and Pachith saw the girl sitting alone in her bench. Pachith walked to her and started scolding her. That was the first time he was talking to a girl in the college. He was so damn nervous and didn’t even let her speak. After 5 mins of continuous bombarding, he took a deep breath and I noticed that the girl was not looking at him and was looking at me. Pachith got pissed off and started shouting at her all over again. Yet again, she wasn’t looking at him. That is when we came to know that the girl was a squint and used to stare at the black board and not at Pachith. It was such a embarrassing moment to my friend Pachith.

This was the blockbuster joke of the year. It was in air till 2007.

Addicted to Coffee..........?? check dis out


Drinking coffee after a workout helps muscles refuel.

Drinking coffee after a workout can help refuel muscles and recover quickly from rigorous exercising.

Glycogen, the muscles primary fuel source during exercise, is replenished more rapidly when athletes ingest both carbohydrate and caffeine after rigorous exercise, thus improving their performance. The researchers found that athletes who ingested caffeine with carbohydrate had 66pct more glycogen in their muscles four hours after finishing intense, glycogen-depleting exercise, compared to when they consumed carbohydrate alone.

"If you have 66% more fuel for the next days training or competition, there is absolutely no question you will go farther or faster," said Dr. Hawley, the studys senior author.

Despite coffee, caffeine is also present in common foods and beverages, including, tea, chocolate and cola drinks. The study involved seven well-trained endurance cyclists, wherein they were asked to ride a cycle ergometer until exhaustion, and then consume a low-carbohydrate dinner before going home.

The study was conducted in four sessions. This exercise reduced the athletes’ muscle glycogen stores prior to the experimental trial. The athletes did not eat again until the next day for the second session, when they again cycled until exhaustion. The participants were given a drink that contained carbohydrate alone or carbohydrate plus caffeine and rested in the laboratory for four hours. Both the processes were repeated 7-10 days later.

The researchers found that one hour after exercise, muscle glycogen levels had been refilled to the same extent whether or not the athlete had the drink containing carbohydrate and caffeine or carbohydrate only. However, four hours after exercise, the drink containing caffeine resulted in 66 pct higher glycogen levels compared to the carbohydrate-only drink and caffeinated drink resulted in higher levels of blood glucose and plasma insulin.

Several signalling proteins believed to play a role in glucose transport into the muscle also elevated to a greater extent after the athletes ingested the carbohydrate-plus-caffeine drink, compared to the carbohydrate-only drink. But the researchers warned that athletes who want to incorporate caffeine into their workouts should experiment during training sessions well in advance of an important competition to find out what works for them.

bangalore pissing me Offfff..............

AUTO : Its was friday 10:15 PM, i have to reach Majestic by 11. My tickets are booked. There were hardly any buses moving. So thought of taking an auto. I was shocked when the auto driver said its gona be 150 Rs to majestic. The kick i had drinking 1 pitcher beer which costed 300 + sides 100 inclusive of tax went down in a milli second.. Had to take a auto as i dint have any other option. I have faced this problem almost every day till i got my old Kiney to bangalore. Auto driver's sucks man. 2nd incident happend when i was returning from Pondicherry. We got down in Madivala, which is 2 km from my house. It was 5 in the morning. This time it was 75 Rs for 2 km. 14 Rs is the usual charge. I had to take an auto as i had to reach office by 9.
DOGS : 12 PM i just returnd from PVR. My friend we partying in another house which is 100 meters from ours. It took 15 mins for me to walk 100 meters. Bangalore dogs r no more dogs. They are TIGERS. They eat waste from Pizza hut, empior, paramount, amii's Biryani, road side kabba etc etc. 5 dogs attacked me at once. I couldn't run because i was in the middle, surrounded by a gand of dogs (kalasi pallya roudies) . I tried pickin up some stones but couldn't.
mean while i could see 6 more dogs running towards me. I was shit scared. Thank god my friend reached there at the same time.
To reach my house from the main road, there are around 7 -8 cross roads and each cross will have 2 to 3 dogs. now think how i reach home. The dogs in bangalor have already killed may kids( It had started eating humans....!!!!!).
Police : 11:30 PM monday.. MONDAY, u cant drink on monday also. thank god i escaped by paying 100 Rs.

I have lots to write. got a meeting now... please comment if u people have faced such problems.........
