An interesting email: Reflections of Passion

Frenz, Indians and country men,

One interesting thing about life is that it never ceases to amuse you. Life throws such bizarre incidents at your face that sometimes you just turn back and wonder aloud “Boy!!! Am I dreaming?? “ .

The incident in question which forced me to re-scribble the above words of wisdom (originally scribbled by someone with substance) is this… A dude amongst us got up at 5.30 in the morning. (The same dude who wud have happily skipped his Univ Exams had they been scheduled a minute earlier than 10 AM). He took bath in ice cold water… yesss… there was no hot water… (The same dude who used to take bath twice a year when he was in college, one for his birthday, and the other for Christ’s). Then he went straight to Madiwala Temple for prayers… Motivation was simple and straight forward… A lady dude wanted to go to Temple today morning…I lay my case ur owners…

Ps1: Kudos to our president who titled his book “Wings of Change”.
Ps2: If anyone of you expect me to reveal the identity of the dude in question, you are mistaken my dear frenz, this secret will be buried with me…
Ps#: I sincerely hope the lady dude wudnt make her temple visit a daily routine. If she does, then that would mean a hanging Damocles sword over this poor yours truly’s sleep :-(

Benny Hinn , Bandh and Bangalore

Got up at 10:30 yesterday... was up n ready by 11 and was on my way to office...
when i reached bommanahalli, the road was jam packed… it was unusual at 11 in the morning… took a couple of sharp turns, crossed the path of a truck and took my enticer to the service road… service road was more or less empty… seeing my id card, a colleague stopped me and asked me not to proceed…

That was when I took a look at the road ahead… two or three buses were parked across the road… stone pelting was going on… vehicles going towards electronic city came to screeching halts, took u-turns and sped away twice as fast as they were coming… police had started a small scale lathi-charge. Since I was not so interested in being a part of the drama any longer, donated a screeching 180 degree turn to the protesters and started my journey back home…

Dialed up my teammates who hadn’t yet started from home, to warn them about the potential danger to their automobiles… since I had some important work to finish, couldn’t afford to take a day off… again ventured out at around 12… this time the road was calm… not even a single mob of protesters throughout hosur road… reached office by 12.30…

Its sad to see Blore following Kerala's way of observing this barbaric ritual called Bandh. This surely is not expected of this metro.

Another week

Again worked thru the weekend...
met Jith on Sunday... Had lunch from his home...
It was nice to be back in the company of an MIyer after a long time...

But then... as time passes...

Some of them whom I used to count as close friends are just ex-class-mates now...
It happens all the time with me...Burning the bridges behind me...

Monday Morning

Back to work after a weekend…

Was not really a weekend to enjoy… worked both the days… so not sure if I can call it a weekend… and cant write ‘back to’ as I never went away from work… that makes the whole statement a wish rather than the truth, but then what else can you think of as the opening line when u r blogging on a Monday morning..?

Even though I have spoiled my week-end, feeling good now as our work on the week-end has taken our module nearer to the shore… :_)


When I was working away to glory on the weekend, bethany gang had gone for a small trekking trip to Siva Ganga... Can't really call it a trekking trip as they went in a Bolero and might have walked for a maximum of say an hour and a half.. that reminds me of my bombay treks... we used to walk from 6 in the morning to 6 in the eveing with may be a 2 or max 4 hours break in between ...

Had saved a draft in the morning, now its 8.30 in the evening... not sure when I will get out of office... these days we leave at 2 in the morning... ain't the workaholic in me happy ? :_))

First Shot

lemme also be hi-tech ;_)...
this is my first shot at a blog..
more like a shot in the dark..

what inspired me to start my own blog space is actually a visit to another blog.
i thot of her as this dumb-headed chirpy girl who yells at the top of her voice into my friend's phone whenever he calls her (which happens pretty often).
and when I went thru her blog, i was dumbstruck... she suddenly appeared to be a monk of wisdom. Her thots r really insightful… and her ideas r original… Man, what a change of opinion… I am pretty sure I will never be able to impress anybody the way her blog impressed me.. but anyways, lemme try ;_)

so here starts arun george’s blogging life…
I am sure this wont last for long… my guitar classes lasted for 3 weeks, drums 4 days, and dance just a day (yea, I had tried that too ;_) )
Let me see how long or how short I will keep blogging
