Invisible Bond



It was 27th Aug. when I had to go to place called giri nagar to my cousin’s marriage. I made sure that I get half a day leave so that I can attend my cousin’s marriage. It was 12’clock when I started from office and caught a Volvo 500K.It was a nice ride as usual since it is the same route when I go to banshankari to my aunt’s place. The Bus takes up the route through agra, a small town near the famous kormangala. Now-a-days there has been some road construction on the process here; hence there has been some deviation from the normal route. For the drivers, not to get confused in those deviations, the transport department’s has attached boards specifying the directions ‘who has to go where and to reach which place’; just like those map’s in those complex malls J.

There is a college near agra something like “Freedom of Independence”. All vehicles have to pass this college. The transport department has made it in such a way that all private vehicles has to pass through the right side of the college and Buses left. Left route takes to agra city and then to HSR layout where as Right directly to HSR layout. But mostly all vehicles go through right side because the distance is less + the entrance of the college is also at the right sideJ . Buses can have a lot of kamai (earning) you see.

The problem was a lady. She had the sharpest voice in the whole world. She used to squeak when she spoke. She had to go to agra city and demanded the bus driver and the conductor to keep left. More than any one, conductor was very furious about it. There was an argument for at least 1 minute and then finally the lady won.

She got down at her stop and the bus moved to HSR layout. Conductor had made a very sad and a furious face. Driver just looked at him and said “Hag yake nodthidya, Bido, Ondu divasa alla”(Why are you making such faces, Leave it, One day na!!). I too wondered why he was so furious of that. It was astonishing. But my confused questions were soon answered when the next stop arrived. There were, I feel, 30 kids waiting to jump into this bus. They were so excited to climb. Our conductor face blushed like he has seen an evening blossoming flower. He was so trilled. Even the driver, suddenly the slow kannada songs shifted to hip hop Hindi music and all the bus went dancing around. There was that excited noise which I used to hear in my college buses.

Of all the thing now I said and I felt may not be so much like a hit film story but the point is that there has been something which has connected the bus conductor and the driver to the students ( and might be vice-verse ) which has made them miss them so much. An invisible bond which has created between two strangers never can be explained.

Even this has happened in my college bus. We had a conductor who did not even know our names, but used to give a sweet smile whenever we used to come. He used to wait till all the guys have come to the bus stop. After a year or so he had shifted to other area college buses, but when he met me one day he just asked me “How are you? And how was my other 3 friends who where always together?”…He had actually remembered then. Ya he has to, we 4 where used to giggle and comments so loudly and if any one of them was absent it was like the whole group is broken down. Any way the topic of discussion is that invisible bond which we achieve without even knowing and which always brings a small happiness of those boring routine works. And also we gain something like one step ahead and change the definition of trust which we build between the known and the unknown individuals


Even today, near my office, there is a security guard who always asks me in the morning “How are you? Had your breakfast? ” and a simple bye, end of the day.


Such impact which gets a smile from some strangers are sometime like refreshment and in many case a heart touching memory which can be never forgotten.

Insect's Love( I love them or they love me ,...Its in a confusion status!!!)

My childhood was one thing which i like the most in my life. I am sure everybody will agree, " how nice your child hood was and how you would like to be in that world." Any way what we have to accept is that the life which we have left behind cannot be re-brought again. But surly we can re-telecasted them as a memory anytime, anywhere.

One of the best incidents( i would say repeated ones) used to be " the re appearance of my so called enemies in front of me ",...insects. i was too scared of them and i really hated them :).But it was not the same from there side. They used to love me and used to come in front of me and scare me as they wished...huh!!!!

One truth, even now... i am scared too. ;-) . But i realized this time when i went home that i was not much in contact with them.was i ? Cant really think when i actually met them.... I mean it is around 1 - 2 years or so i have not met any cockroaches, spiders, lizards, frogs or rat [ except the mosquitoes,...;-). I do meet them daily ]. fascinating!!! but true. I just got all my memories back when i saw a spider in my bathroom the other day when i went to manglore.I don't want to say but i think i missed them so much. I was just staring for around a minute or so at it as if it was some " kumba ke mele main bichadi huai bhai !!!".. :).

It was so alike as the spider which survived around 6 months or so at my bathroom before. This happened when i was at my 9th. I used to be too scared to remove it. Firstly because it was very huge and creepy to look. It had some sort of skull drawn at its so called face. Secondly It was pregnant. You could say i had a kind heart of not to kill it. :) But ya i did said my mom to kill it once it had delivered( hee hee hee ).

Mom had clearly said she will not kill it in any case." when will you grow up. Kill it your self whenever it is ". Then i took the help of my little brother. He killed it ...when it was pregnant only. Sad ending through.....But he did give me a logical reason saying that a whole family would be creeping back of me if i let it give birth and all.So....So my little brother did played the assassinator part and very well indeed :).

Rat : Not much, but first time i did see it was at our store room, where in it had made its own small happy home out of my favorite old bag which i liked the most. Mom had a tough time chasing it and its pretty cute babies mostly because we found it in the dead of a night and top of it, i was screaming at the peak of my pitch. :).

I think this was the first and the last incident of rats we found at our home. It was the time when we first shifted from our old house to a new one. So at that time we didn't have any cats.This is where i love my cats.One life saver from these rats.But ,...ha there is a but you will see rat's dead bodies lying some where some times ;-).

One day it so happened that my mom opened the front door and found a dead rat, a very huge one and a tiny little cat, our cat, beside it. It was staring at my mom trying to say " Am i not strong ".....Mom was so much furious. huh !!!!

Cockroaches : I had ripped its body and studied all the parts, even then i have not got that braveness which will make me face it.

Our biology madam strictly said " Each and every one please get a cockroach for tomorrows class. I don't know how you will be getting it. But make sure each one of them have it. If you don't you will not get any attendance for tomorrow's session.And yes you will be out of my class " .
As i was one of the favorite students, i didn't wanted to make a bad impression.So. And yes once again Mommy came for help.Mom started to search all the shelf and drawers where she keeps her old book. We didn't get any. Then at around 10 in the night, Mom found one ugly looking cockroach ( Ugly because Its wings was torn apart, It had a very bad facial expression and i don't remember but it was looking weird from the normal looking cockroach ). Any way mom caught it and put it in the match stick box and i wrapped it in at around 2 plastic bag so that it doesn't escape :).

Finally when we reached the lab they took the match box from each of us and dropped all the roaches in a glass bottle. It was so creepy to look. 20 cockroaches in each bottle at least. and all roaches where like a ugly prisoners trying to run away. Then they pored the Anastasia liquid into a cotton bush and dropped it into the bottle. All the roaches got paralyzed, they where then kept in front of us for our study :)...........Creepy

Lizard : Don't ask. They have one sweet eye on me, they used to fall on me like once in a month. And i used to run to mom and dad asking my luck part comparing to the stars and the place where it had fallen. Didn't understand!!! Let me explain, There is a saying that if a lizard falls on you there is bad or good luck depending on some conditions. We have a monthly book called panchanga where in all these stuffs are mentioned. It will say if a lizard falls on your shoulder on Monday what is the indication of it and so on. Superstitions but i used to follow it especially if it had happened when it is nearer to exams :$

Frog : This is one which i hate the most and it which loves me most. It used to jump and come near me whenever i used to go to water my dear plants in my garden. I think there was that cursed prince who wanted a kiss from me to turn into a prince. Whatever i have not allowed it to do and i will never....even if that frog is turning into a prince. I just hate it. It is so slimy,..yak...

These are some incidents, I can recall. Any way without these insects my childhood world is incomplete. Good or bad my experience was a trilling one and surly it was because otherwise i wouldn't have landed in writing so much about them

Thanks, Insi

Happy Independence Day too All....


"Long years ago we made a tryst with destiny, and now the time comes when we will redeem our pledge, not wholly or in full measure, but very substantially. At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance.... We end today a period of ill fortune, and India discovers herself again."

- Jawaharlal Nehru
(Speech on Indian Independence Day, 1947)

Change ...In me which i notice today


Its was a sense that i actually thought i have not changed from the time i have been outside my house. Friends used to say "Putty. you have changed". I would say " No yer." But now, today i suddenly realized that "yes i have changed."Its a mushy feeling through.

Changes according to me is change from acting like a kid to a mature women. :). Good for you would be your comment.But for me its a different feeling ,...Losing the precious gold from my hand....and allowing it to become a diamond. I am happy to get a diamond althrough but i am sad about losing my gold too,.....

We have attic where we keep our house stuffs which we use it when we have a function at home. And mostly i used to climb up the attic and get thinks down or up easily. But now i have forgot how to go to attic with my Kid tactics. I forgot :-(.... And i have to use how adult get it,....Adult tactics i mean

I used eat anything which is my favorite, which i can do now too.The fact i cant be so is because i need to maintain my beauty you see where comes the consciousness of eating too ;-)

Need a write down all the preparation tips suggested and advised by all for my future steps,...especially if its something related to marriage,....ah god knows what and all need to be maintained ........yuak.....This never used to be there before :-(.........

I used to jump around the ralley like i was horse but now i can't...I am not allowed would be the exact fact,...Need to behave like a girl you see and not play :)

You would say good for you,...Now that you have turned into a human being than that immature kid....But being kid was fun and always will be, ....Have lost that enthusiasm and turning up to be a mature lady,...yuak,...no but i have to be a lady more than that,........I like but also i hate...

Without accepting the fact that everything changes, we cannot find perfect composure. But unfortunately, although it is true, it is difficult for us to accept it. Because we cannot accept the truth of transience, we suffer.

Lazy or Late, Not sure !!....But utterly nonsense :)


World has turn down to electronics. and due to this, percentage of being lazy has increased :). Now when i am in this decade why should i be behind.Let me help in making the world even more digital. :)


I am always late to office. This is because of my laziness! or my insufficient time to solve my tiny little problems!.Not sure But i need a solution


Mostly i cannot compact my laziness and get up early at around 5 ' clock. I need a solution within the range of being lazy. Solution is electronics and computers. And if you ask me, the real inspiration is from a cartoon network show called "The Jetsons". Seriously guys, You need to see this show they have everything for being to be lazy and not getting late ;-).....Fully modernized digital era........waw......cool.....


Here, I have actually listed down 2 of my primary works which makes me late.Reading these activities, you may not be saying that i am lazy but the point i call it lazy because....... i used to do it before within this time range.So lazy or late these are 2 head eating activities.






1.Drinking a cup of milk every morning : That's the problem??...Not Specifically, But yes drinking hot milk. When i enter the kitchen of my PG, my cook realizes the need to boil the milk and gives me the perfect 75 degree pasteurized milk,...huh...:@


Now my Solution : I need a machine ( just like a coil with a space in the middle to keep my cup) which makes the milk cool and warm as per my tongue's adjustable temperature.It should first check the body temperature. Then in turn decide what's the exact temperature of the milk should be and yes it should retain that warmness of the milk for a fixed time :)...little bit scientific,....But it is to say that i want it to be neither too cold nor too hot ...........What's say!!!


2. I usually miss the bus ( 504 and 333P ) : The problem of missing is not because of me but the timing of these buses. I come at the exact time, i.e. the time they had arrived at the bus stop ....yesterday. But what to do BMTC buses are just like.. Cops in films.......... Never on time,.........


Now my Solution : I need my mobile to have a sensor attached which senses the presence of that particular bus.Sort of a navigator setup in those nokai mobile.I think you got my idea. It should generally say the wearabout of that bus and give me a beep when they are 3 km far away from my place :)...I can get ready you see at that time. ;-)....and you might ask why mobile??....No specific reason, I don't wear a watch otherwise i would have suggested that............


These are the primary 2 most important thing for me, currently and if i actually start thinking, i think i can get more.:)


At the end i would say i actually want that Jetson life where in they travel the world in light speed..... It will make my life easier. I can always come to office from mangalore ;-).


I know i am asking for too much but my heart some time wanders for the desire stuffs which some times, occasionally i achieve it by my laziness( and yes with condition of imagination and creativity )..................hee hee hee .............read it twice this line actually has a meaning :)


At the end i will just leave you with this Quote:

“I will act now. I will act now. I will act now. Henceforth, I will repeat these words each hour, each day, everyday, until the words become as much a habit as my breathing, and the action which follows becomes as instinctive as the blinking of my eyelids. With these words I can condition my mind to perform every action necessary for my success. I will act now. I will repeat these words again and again and again. I will walk where failures fear to walk. I will work when failures seek rest. I will act now for now is all I have. Tomorrow is the day reserved for the labor of the lazy. I am not lazy. Tomorrow is the day when the failure will succeed. I am not a failure. I will act now. Success will not wait. If I delay, success will become wed to another and lost to me forever. This is the time. This is the place. I am the person.”

Raksha Bandhan: To All Sis And Bro

Raksha Bandhan is on the way and Its on Aug 5,......Of all my bro's in my life, i have a dear and near bro ( Bloodless i call ;-) ......)........Ahaha Let me tell u a story which conveys everything what i want to say and what i think :)..........A tribute for him :)

On a tiny little firm was a very charming little Tweety, who always took life as it can never go wrong. She always had a trust in herself. Everyone in the firm believed that instead of being so tiny she is always in a rush to make something huge(A bit hurry burry you could say).

And truly she was. On this fascinating world of hers, there laid danger which one day appeared in front of her as an unknown devil. She started to fear when she first landed with a big task which she was given in a small phase."I am not experienced" she thought.

The Task was to fly with a package which was double her weight :).........She knew to fly. But flying with all the heavy stuffs was something tough. That Day, She was at a tip of a mountain with all the packages. She thought "this can't be so bad, can it! I Just need that Push" .Suddenly she was pushed and willing or not she had to fly in the sky. She flew very well and without any flaw. But She was too astonished to know who was that,who gave her that push which was what all she wanted and also which was toughest one of all.

It was Eagle Spike, a colleague of her. About Spike : A very helpful steady person for all, who is always on his own thoughts. Doesn't trust people so easily, knows about the world both in good and bad view. But if you ask any one in the firm, he is the most hard working and the most steady bird of all.He decides what is true and what is false by his own way and will always have a plan of what he has to do (with back ups off course :)..... ).That's Spike one and all.


Spike had always had an eye on Tweety from the day she had joined the firm.He always appreciated her optimistic and frankness, but was too shy to come out and tell it to her. He used to share it sometime with his friends or within himself. But after this day, the day was not the same for Spike. Tweety came and thanked Spike for his help and the talk which started on thanks went on...:)

Spike used to be there for Tweety all the time. Whenever she had difficult in flying he was there to guide her. But She used to get a scolding when ever she did something wrong...:)

And off course Of all the differences both had, one thing that they had in common, is the approach of ideas which always where alike and had made them gel together easily.They had a sort of care and protection for each other.

After 3 months, Tweety was transferred and went to a different place. But Spike was always there beside Tweety whenever there was need of any support, Advice or Protection.

Spike always said to Tweety " You are always good in all perspective but the point is in this world there is always an equal position for good and bad. Your Good part is sufficient for You and For all, But the bad part in others may Kill of all Your Good. Don't make others utilize you as a Sink. Make them use you as a Source.

I will be always beside You ( Where ever You are ) in your Happiness and Sad, In Your Wrong ( yes offcourse to correct you!! )and Rights. And yes as a dear friendly Bro as you wished."

"Whenever u need that push, you will find me just beside ;-)"

@Bro: Love You Bro. And this Story is For You :)...Happy Advanced Raksha Bandhan

@To All : Happy Advanced Raksha Bandhan
