The Year it was….

(This is not a post on Resolutions, just the Wishes!)


In few hours we’ll be into another New Year, year 2012. When I look back to the last 365 or 364 days and few hours a lot of tales, told – untold, experiences, emotions and a lot, I find swimming through the time. Few lines have never been sufficient to write down what I’ve felt, but a write-up of limited words is what I like to read and thus share too….
Me, Achtung, Rides and the People
Achtung - BisonsRideHard
A year back, Dec 2010, I wasn’t an Inddiethumpers. Year later, Dec 2011, I ain’t! I bought mu bull, Achtung, little over two years back. Rode some of the best rides with office mates, and then got to know about the largest Bullet Club of the Nation – the Inddiethumpers! You’ll die to join the club if you have been with them even for a chae-sutta ride, and so did I. I did my life’s longest ride of some 5000km, Mumbat to Kolkata and back, with Guri pa ji, Ganesh, Ranjit, Rahul, Kaka and others of Inddiethumpers to attend RiderMania-2011 or RM-11 at Kolkata. The ride brought me coveted membership of the Club. Few months, gluing up and we few guys parted our ways to Bisons Ride Hard. Instrumental were a few people, I joined the Club as I rode mostly with them only. It was a difficult situation, Inddiethumpers had been a Dream and Bisons is like our own child. I took the split second decision and became a Bison, a proud Riding Hard – Bison! It took me another few months to justify (!) my decision, when fellow Bison Jay said, Rides and Bulls do matter, but what matters most is the fellow Rider I ride with. And, this year I’m riding as a Bison to RiderMania-12 to Delhi coming January, with a wish to meet and ride with the Inddiethumpers and at least have a chae-sutta break together!
The year definitely was Big on travelling; I travelled across India to Kolkata, across Atlantic to Canada; to Puri, Goa, Bhimashankar, AshtaVinayaka, Hedvi and may other beaches and a number of towns…I wish next year too be high on rides and airmiles!
In addition to RM-Delhi, this year I would be riding to Laddakh-a traveller’s paradise, and also if the Leaves permit a ride to Kaynkumari along the western coasts and a journey to Lakshadweep with many other shorts few 100 km rides!
Office and the Desk Life
I prefer not to talk office-office on my blog. But, yes would sure like to share that a real good time ‘economically as well mentally’, this year with the present company. Else, who knows where leads the luck!
Marriage
With a single swing in my personal life and no wedding bells anticipated in near future, I had been high on attending marriages through
the country and have already agreed to attend two of my to-be-sacrificed friend’s wedding early next year. I feel being an example of Abdullah who went maniac attending other’s marriages :P Wish the wish be just not be Wish when this year ends...
Blogging
I have started getting over 100 visitors daily without any extra effort. But, low number of comments is still a problem, which indirectly means the visitor is not spending time on posts. Same is the case with the low number of Members. Moreover, though Google speed tests appreciate my blog, I personally feel it being quite slow. So, New Year’s plan is to redesign the content, especially add-ons and off course more involvement in writing thing :)

Photography
A lot is still to learn in this domain. It’s been over a year with D5000 and sometimes I struggle to reach the item I have used a few days before. Need to unfold the complete manual and get in to the business rather seriously, after all this is the only way I can preserve the memories I would love to, the Best possible way!

Six Packs
Last year, I wished. This year, I would! Amen!
Friends
With friends from School, College, Office, Twitter, FourSquare and Blog circles I feel blessed! I could able to keep in touch with most of them, but still a few went in to the Acquaintance category from being Friends! More is always welcome, but would for sure try to be in touch, not just through FB or so, with each and every guy I ever thought as a friend!
Smile
It’s undying! I have been uploaded with an inexhaustible supply of Life, and I would love to share it by my Smile :)

What are your Wishes, and even Resolutions for the New Year-2012...do share with us...

Banned Indian Books

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high; Where knowledge is free; Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls; Where words come out from the depth of truth... Few days back when I came to know about a book on an Indian Business Barron on the Banned Indian Books’ List, the first thing that came in my mind were the lines from Tagore . What an irony, we live in a country, whose forefathers have dreamt about a nation without fear, about a nation with right to speech, right to knowledge; and where the Government enjoys the “privilege” to “freely” ban the books, censor what it feels offensive! Wikipedia describes Banned books as the books whose free access is not permitted. Further it says that the practice of banning books is just another form of censorship, and often has political, religious or moral motivations. In our country, banning books have got its history since the British rule days. In fact, few of the Books ...

Natarang (नटरंग): My First Marathi Movie

Last Sunday was day booked for movies. First on the slot was Natarang (नटरंग). Natarang was my first Marathi movie and perhaps the second Regional Language movie after the classic Nadiya Ke Paar (नदिया के पार ) . Except for a few words, I don’t understand Marathi , and thus watched the subtitle version. But, I was so engrossed in movie that for the times was feeling the movie and not reading it. May be, as said by Paulo Coelho in The Alchemist , the characters were speaking World’s Unified language . The best side of the movie was its ability to keep the viewer enthralled throughout. Story line was about a body-builder farmer taking the risk of opening a theatre company, putting all his emotions on stakes; finally dares to take the role of a eunuch-character on stage. For the purpose, the hunk villager, played by Atul Kulkarni , shaved off his thick manly moustaches and had to lose his muscles. He learns the ways a woman walks talks and plays with different gestures. In the course, h...

Trekking Ghansoli Gawli Dev (Parsik) Hill

It’s been there for geological ages, we have been looking at it for last about 4years and I have been planning to trek it since a long time. Finally, few weeks back, we trekked the Ghansoli Hill. Ghansoli Hill is located at the eastern boundary of Ghansoli town, behind our office complex at RCP. The hill or better hillock is a part of small range that separates Kalyan and Navi Mumbai towns. A search on Google Map returns with a name Parsik Hill for it, though there is one more rather famous Parsik Hill in Navi Mumbai. We also found a NewsArticle , that talks about NMMC plans to develop Nature Awareness Centre at this hills and calls it Gawli Dev Hill. Here, we would be calling it Ghansoli Hill . I asked my colleague about it and he readily agreed. The very next Sunday we did it with another friend. We weren't aware of the route. All we knew is that a Central Road runs along the western edge of the hill and can be reached through the Vashi-Mhape road. We later found that t...
