The Man in the Moon Came Down Too Soon
There is an inn, a merry old inn
beneath an old grey hill,
And there they brew a beer so brown
That the Man in the Moon himself came down
one night to drink his fill.
The ostler has a tipsy cat
that plays a five-stringed fiddle;
And up and down he saws his bow
Now squeaking high, now purring low,
now sawing in the middle.
The landlord keeps a little dog
that is mighty fond of jokes;
When there's good cheer among the guests,
He cocks an ear at all the jests
and laughs until he chokes.
They also keep a hornéd cow
as proud as any queen;
But music turns her head like ale,
And makes her wave her tufted tail
and dance upon the green.
And O! the rows of silver dishes
and the store of silver spoons!
For Sunday there's a special pair,
And these they polish up with care
on Saturday afternoons.
The Man in the Moon was drinking deep,
and the cat began to wail;
A dish and a spoon on the table danced,
The cow in the garden madly pranced
and the little dog chased his tail.
The Man in the Moon took another mug,
and then rolled beneath his chair;
And there he dozed and dreamed of ale,
Till in the sky the stars were pale,
and dawn was in the air.
Then the ostler said to his tipsy cat:
'The white horses of the Moon,
They neigh and champ their silver bits;
But their master's been and drowned his wits,
and the Sun'll be rising soon!'
So the cat on the fiddle played hey-diddle-diddle,
a jig that would wake the dead:
He squeaked and sawed and quickened the tune,
While the landlord shook the Man in the Moon:
'It's after three!' he said.
They rolled the Man slowly up the hill
and bundled him into the Moon,
While his horses galloped up in rear,
And the cow came capering like a deer,
and a dish ran up with the spoon.
Now quicker the fiddle went deedle-dum-diddle;
the dog began to roar,
The cow and the horses stood on their heads;
The guests all bounded from their beds
and danced upon the floor.
With a ping and a pang the fiddle-strings broke!
the cow jumped over the Moon,
And the little dog laughed to see such fun,
And the Saturday dish went off at a run
with the silver Sunday spoon.
The round Moon rolled behind the hill,
as the Sun raised up her head.
She* hardly believed her fiery eyes;
For though it was day, to her surprise
they all went back to bed!

A Blast From The Past ..
Was chatting up with a couple of third standard friends of mine from IIS, Jeddah (www.indianschooljeddah.com/). It was indeed a nice experience to find some long lost friends who you were good friends back in the third grade, Thanks to Orkut. So now I am in touch with quite some guys, who I studied with in my third grade in another country ain’t that simply great ?? I also managed to get in touch with some other friends of mine … form various schools.
The reason for writing this particular blog is not simply to express my joy of finding these long lost buddies of mine but to for you and I to ponder how people change so very drastically with time. Those third standard friends then did not then have a personality, did not know what they wanted in life, knew nothing at all, not even to find their way back home! Today some of them stand as monuments of excellence, some getting there and some who have a long way to go. Why? Why is it some have made it and some have not? Individual capabilities is it? Or is it the way one has been molded at school, at home and by the surrounding environment. Or is it both ?
Its always funny to see some people doing better than others, I feel it is cause many fail to understand and recognize what their true potential is and what one is good at doing. Of course there could be a hundred other factors like hard work, financial capabilities (as it changes the opportunities one is offered), luck (if you believe in its existence) and so on …
It is indeed very ironical how apples of the same basket have turned out. Seriously ironical I’m sure you would have some kind of similar story to tell !

Coorg ...
I had been to the beautiful hill station of Coorg. An amazing place which is known as the Scotland of India. We were fortunate that the climate was good. I was also able to go for white water rafting which was an adventurous thing to do. I also managed to take a dip at the Iruppu Falls one of the biggest falls which plunge down from a 170ft. It’s a beautiful sight to see and experience the force and beauty of nature, a change form the monotonous city lifestyle we all lead.
The Nagarhole National Park (officially known as the Rajiv Gandhi National Park) was a big disappointment. The reserve boasts of tawny, black-striped Royal Bengal Tiger (in larger numbers than in Bandipur National Park), panther, chita, and sloth bear, leopard, jungle cat, jackal, wild dog and sloth bear, elephant, spotted deer, sambar and also over 250 species of birds. Well all that and probably more animals! But what did we see just some spotted dears! When I asked the driver of the safari he explained that there are no animals except for the dears! He didn’t how ever tell me what had happened! It is indeed sad to see a wild life reserve which boasts of so much being completely wiped away.
I also had a chance to go to the Namdroling Monastary at Bylakuppe Village in Kushalnaga which shows off proudly to the second largest Tibetan settlements in India. The temple serves not only as the prayer hall for the Tibetans, but also as a school for their young monks. It’s a beautiful sight the temple stands magnificently amidst the surrounding scenery, where you feel suddenly transported to another realm.
Here some photos to relish !

How We Welcome Foreigners in India … An Experience
My boss was planning a trip to visit the team from the US, her perception of India was hazy and I believed that it would change for the better when she comes down. But who am I kidding the life I in Bangalore is something only a few percentage of the Indians lead. There is a good percentage of the population below the poverty line. So India today is a mix of cultures and living standards. We do have a lot to improve in the infrastructural front even in the most developed cities. Well my boss’s perception didn’t change much I guess. But she did learn of the lifestyle we have and that we had adopted pretty much of the western culture they follow.
She did have a bad experience at the airport when the customs officials did not want to release her baggage for she refused to bribe them Rs12000. It was awful to come to the understanding of the way some government officials’ work. I was wondering if this is how we welcome foreigners to India ? If bribes start at the airport till where would in individual think it would go.
I was happy that we were good hosts to the foreigners who came in. On the other hand though crossed my mind, of what one of my friends mom had told me sometime back. She said why ? why is it that we pamper foreigners, they ruled over India for a long time, looted us, and trampled over India and now we pamper them so much, have we forgotten what they had done to us? Also the fact remains that you would never be pampered when you go abroad.
I had a good time with my boss, she had bought all of us gifts form Victoria’s Secrets. Parties at TGIF and Leela’s.
Some basic facts; India has a population of 1.25 B and 36% live below the poverty line. (http://indiabudget.nic.in/es97-98/chap101.pdf) some stats show 25 % below poverty(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poverty_in_India).

Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift
The third part of the Fast and the Furious, The movies was only for 1.37 minutes and didn’t have half the action in comparison to its sequels. If this would have been the first part there would have never been a sequel to follow up. The movie had definitely fewer cars featured, may be just five or six in comparison to the previous parts and the acting could have been better. The story line was never great in F&F so really no comments on that. This movie was on the whole concept of drifting, while some would be familiar with the concept from NFS this would be a fairly new concept to the general public. I personally was not really turned on with the whole concept of building the whole movie only on drifting. On the overall a pathetic attempt !

A Personal Though
I’ve been in five schools, two colleges, and two organizations, three countries and all my life I’ve met different types of people. All of whom have taught me a variety of things, some of which I have absorbed I believe that the individuals I’ve met in my life have played a major part of who I am today. I always loved keeping in touch with people, having a wide set of friends. Meeting them and corresponding with my friends .. even before the existence of e-mails.
Today I was struck by reality. Many of my close set of friends were getting married! Well I was more than happy, greeted them, met their counter parts and so on. These were friends some of whom I had known from the day I had got my senses. The few people who I treasured, who I loved beyond imagination, who I had shared my thought, dreams, ambitions, were going to marry another person and fuse with themselves another personality. I waited and watched what the outcome of this would be. Surprisingly my fears became a reality most of my close friends got so much so involved with their new counterpart that they slowly started putting their friends in a back seat. Strange how you could keep aside someone you have known literally all your life. Yes I do agree that they have a new life, a new person to understand and someone who could satisfy all their needs, but still. Could they do any better than literally throw someone who had been with them all their life away and would I be put to a situation to do the same?
Similarly how some of my male friends some of them, shun all their mates away when they meet some girl / some one they love ?! The have no time, no ear to lend to their friends who have been with him through everything they had gone through.
It is here I want to ask people to stop and think, how one should have a balance of a new relationship and the old ones. Of course new ones need a considerable amount of time and effort, but its at the same time one should try the balancing act ….

"Another 365 day trip around the sun....enjoy the trip"
Ms.P sent me this mail ...
The inscription on your book...
Another 365 day trip around the sun....enjoy the trip.
I loved those words. Cos, it's not about wishing you luck, good health and prosperity. All that is understood.
Birthdays are'nt about celebration anymore. It's about milestones. And with each birthday, it's like a personal marker in our lives, where we introspect. Look around and figure out where we've come. It's about making every year count. Every living moment. Whether you spend it asleep, reading a book, chatting with friends, working hard, taking a vacation or doing something new.
It's another journey. Yours. Enjoy it.

Johnny Walker – Scotch Tasting Event Held At The Taj West End
Johnny Walker – Scotch Tasting Event Held At The Taj West End
I have no idea how any one would have my residential address within 3 weeks of me taking up a house in Bangalore. Indeed it’s a time to wake up and see how far marketing has gone and how soon information is exchanged in any form. Why do I say this? I got an invitation to attend the Johnny Walker Scotch Tasting Event Held At The Taj West End (Bangalore). When I received the invitation I was more than surprised, how would anyone know that I was a chronic alcoholic? (Not that I really am). I never did contemplate to go, but then the whole thought of tasting Whiskies interested me, as I’m really not a whiskey drinker.
It rained, it poured and I was pretty damp when I got there, The Taj West End was a beautiful place. All I was thinking of was getting my hands on some good Whiskey to get me warm ! Its somewhere I’d actually take some one special. It was very in with nature with a lot of greenery.
The session started with an introduction to Johnny Walker, its history how the striding man was one of the first advertisements ever made. The rich history of one of the oldest well known brands. The session was a marketing and educational one, where we got to taste 5 different Scotch understand where each one was produced what could we expect form Whiskeys produced in different parts of Scotland. The difference between grain and malts … etc… was pretty interesting … The color of whiskeys..! It went on only for 45min but did what it was designed to do. Ensure that everyone got to taste their product when marketing for alcohol is banned ! It got people to understand what Scotch was all about… I feel it was an exceptional marketing !
An excellent experience… but would I go to the bar and order a whiskey the next time ? Well I don’t think that will ever happen unless the situation drives me to … but I wont contemplate to get myself a Johnny Walker. So the session did accomplish what it was meant to I guess!

The Tulleeho / Smirnoff Tastemaker Sessions – Bangalore
I was told about this session by a friend it was indeed interesting concept and was anxious to know how it would be. So when the session was done I gave him a ring and he said that it was a good overall experience. There I decided to go for it called in booked for the class. (http://www.tulleeho.com/tulleeho.htm) The site is good with a lot of fundamental information on a lot of things; I like the wine information in particular.
Well the class stared a little in at 11am IST (Indian Stretchable Time), at Nineteen Twelve on Marks road not a great place for the night outs but good enough for a workshop. A nice hot welcome drink of coffee or tea for your choice, Tables arranges with a variety of utensils and drinks to get your cocktail exquisite. So there it started off, a day with loads of alcohol, and information of how to make it taste better! Ain’t that crazy. We were taught about the basic variety of glasses to the density of liquids.. made several cocktails and tasted them… Had a well prepared lunch and then off again the day finished at 6pm and the whole thing was a blast ! A must go for any one who is contemplating to go or not to!

Business cards
Today I got my business cards, Happy and proud of where I stand today. Was indeed waiting for it, I did miss it sometimes. But then I was just thinking what’s the whole point ?? Where does one today uses a Business / visiting card ? Hmmm... you could drop it in those bowls at business events .. yea . might be useful when you go to these big events .. a useful networking tool, but do people just go back home and throw it away ?? ( I don’t ) .. .. Any way life goes on …
In The Land of Fantasy Anything Is Possible !
Eragon by Christopher Paolini
In The Land of Fantasy Anything Is Possible !
So there I was at crossroads (Bangalore) deciding which book to pick up and remembered P telling me that Eragon was worth the read, the beautiful cover on the book was of Saphira the dragon did tempt me I should say. But then again I was weary to move to the realm of fantasy, not because I didn’t like it but sometimes they either get too complicated or have great similarities. Well Harry Potter didn’t let me down at least not the first three ! and neither did JRR, though I found JRR a little too complicated for light reading. The movies I should say were nowhere close to what the real book contained and also it actually spoils the imagination you have created of what you have read. Nothing close to what you imagine is there ?
Well getting back to where I started off, it was indeed more than a coincidence to find several similarities between LOR and Eragon. The character Broom was very much similar to Gandalf, the boy (ERAGON) had also similarities to Frodo. There are many more subtle but distinct similarities when the two books are compared. But I should say its is very well written, a definite page turner. It does let you imaginations run wild and the details given does help you picture every instance clearly. It is indeed sad (not really though) that they are making the movie Eragon, well this would actually spoil the imaginative part of it. That doest mean that I’m not waiting for the movie to release but what the heck … everything is entertainment … would love to see how well they could pull it off!
Coming to the end of reading book, I ventured to pick up the sequel to Eragon, the second of the trilogy Eldest. I was indeed taken back when I say the price of the book Rs. 785 (Approx) and yes it was hard bound. The price was definitely steep and if I wanted to read the book the other option was to turn to pirated copies (available), which I have vowed never to do. I don’t really like reading hard backs as well as they are actually to heavy to carry when I’m lazily lying on my bed and reading. Well at last I didn’t buy the book came home with The Valkyries by Paulo Coelho. The other book I have next in line is something I have been wanting to get my hand on for a long time – The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie let me see if I think the book is as good as they claim to be. Thank you P for sending the book all the way from where ever you are you’re a sweet heart !

Been There Done That…
“Been There Done That…” Exactly what I would say to almost anything. But my experience a couple of days back changed my whole view to the idea that I had done almost everything I wished for.
When was the last time you did something for the first time??
For the first time I took a girl out on a long drive,
For the first time someone bought flowers for me,
For the first time did I touch an elephant,
For the first time did I footsy,
For the first time did I share a bottle of chardonnay with one special person,
For the first time did I feel I met someone who I could live my entire life with,
For the first time did I cry and yet feel happy,
For the first time did I feel I kissed the right girl.
It was the most happiest day of my life.. …
I looked into her eyes and felt,
A feeling that I never want to be alone
The touch of her hand mesmerized me
To believe I was in a fairy land.
Isn’t earth a place where good things aren’t meant to last ….

Being Immature ?
Reading several blogs of random people and some of my friends .. I feel me getting stuck on the issues of love and relationships… Is simply to childish or immature.
Is it ?
Well I guess its a mix ...
Is it ?
Well I guess its a mix ...
A Rendezvous With The Unknown ….
A Rendezvous with the Unknown ….
For long I was hoping to meet this girl I met online. We have been talking to each other almost every single day for the past 6 months. I like her attitude, her intelligence, smartness and well a lot of other things. The fact that we stay in different countries, has not changed the way we keep in touch nor the way we connect. The last six months she and I have been pretty much interested in meeting up and seeing how reality strikes us when we move out of the cyber/ telephonic world.
Well today was the luck day for both of us, we met up, we didn’t feel wired, on the contrary I was very comfortable with her and I guess so was she. We like each other’s company so much that we plan to spend the rest of the days she is in India by allocating all the extra time we have with each other.
But I have my own questions to the nature of this relationship, of where its heading, What will the bottom-line be ? etc.

With New Opportunities At Hand
With new opportunities at hand, and evaluating current acquisitions there comes a time to decide and decipher each new opportunity to make a valid logical decision. In the process come inputs from all near and dear as well as people who could have valuable insights to lend as they were / are in a particular field.
It is up to one’s ideology to carefully weigh each new opportunity and take a good decision, keeping in mind what one ideally wants to achieve. I am currently in the process of deciding what best could help me today and in the long run. Let me wait and see what conclusion I arrive at and why.

What is the belief of falling in Love ?

Lost and lonely … scared and tired ..
Well though life is going on fine and I rally have anything much to complain about, I still feel lost and lonely scared and tired ..
Lost cause sometimes I dono where I’m going what I’m going to do .. though I think I’m pretty focused .. I’m in a decent job etc .. I still feel lost
Lonely … I don’t have a good companion to share my emotions with ,,,
Scared .. where this life is taking me
Tired of trying to prove my self and work my ass off…

I would like to share with you all a unique experience I had this Sunday. A met up with a friend who I haven’t met for the past five and a half years. We had kept in touch on and off by sending e-mails, just enough to keep each other updated with what we were cooking in our own lives.
I met this guy last Sunday, we shook hands gave each other a gentle hug and were off, as though we had just meting each other every day for the last couple of years. There was indeed absolutely no feeling of the friendship gone stale and we had not met for years. Yes, there we were planning to go for lunch, we ordered lunch and started talking.. the comfort level was indeed so good that we could possibly talk about anything. It was indeed such a wonderful feeling. A movie after that and so on .. the evening went off as well with so much we had to talk about. Our views on different issues ..
Well the point being that sometimes though we meet people after ages… a good friend is always there in your heart and never far apart. Well this guy was none other than Nishanth …
Nishanth plans to quit Stan Chart and peruse his higher studies in the US … My best wishes to him …
Don’t be dismayed by Good byes
As they means of saying we’ll be meeting again..

Today is the day …… the day when I’m picking up myself from crumbling down, to evolve into the person I hope to be. Many a time we fall and give up on the strenuous road we take. It is indeed not very easy for most of us to face the challenges and do the very best we can. Its is also true that some let them pass by like a winter breeze and others just let the worst happen. I today want to pick myself up and assure myself that I’ll do what ever it take to make my life.
Today is the day of the lion … when it wakes from its slumber with a new attitude …
