Emosanal Attyachaar X-rated Version.....

2009-03-02T02:17:00.003+05:30

That Dev D. is one of the most 'complete' OST of recent times is apparent on the first listening itself. 18 tracks. Each different from the other. Folk, Bhangra, Mush, Rock, Peppy, you name it. Enough said.
Now I chanced upon the 19th one. Anurag Kashyap writes on his blog Passion For Cinema

"Got this via email. Please be warned, a fanboy has created an X-rated version of Emosonal Atyachar from Dev.D… watch and listen to the song at your own risk."

The Brass band and the Rock versions of Emosanal Atyachar are fantastic songs. But when it comes to break-up, this X-rated version beats the official versions hands-down. Although Kashyap claims that it has been created by a fan, the voice is too familiar to the Brass band one. I guess the makers of Dev D. were in a nautanki mood when they made this X-rated stuff. It kicks ass, and how! Of course it can not be released. So it was toned down to the Emosanal Atyachar that we know. But Kashyap and co. could not hide 'creation' any longer. Hence this.
Enough blabber now. Here's the deal. Turn down the speakers and minimize the window if you fear someone's around. And girls, please refrain. This is da shit...

Dev D

2009-03-02T02:16:00.000+05:30

Anurag Kashyap should kill Abhay Deol.
Abhay Deol should kill Mahi Gill.
Mahi Gill should kill Kalki Koechlin.
Bollywood should kill the entire crew of Dev D.
And we, the self-respecting intelligent movie viewers of the world, must kill Anurag Kashyap.

Shah Jahan cut off the hands of his craftsmen after they built the Taj Mahal. He didn't want want them to recreate it somewhere else. May be he didn't even want them to practise their craft again. They had done the greatest thing they could have done. Something which can not be bettered. When you reach the point beyond which you can not improve, you cease to live. Whatever you do, is a mere shadow of the greatness you had achieved. Futile attempts to recreate the sublime. There's no point in crawling along, resting on your laurels. Kurt Cobain knew when to die. He could not have done anything better than what he had already done. So he left.

To the team behind Dev D, Thank you.
Now please die.

Too Much to do, Too little time!

Have u ever had this feeling that, the way your life's going, you havent achieved anything yet? Have ever thought what a waste of a life i'm living!? HAve you ever thought i can do a lot more with my life, i can make it much more satisfying, i can make it much more challenging?! Have you ever thought any of those thing!?

Well, if you have, welcome to the club!!
Thats because i think of these EVERY SINGLE DAY of my life!
Oh, dont get me wrong, i like my life, i wouldnt have it anyother way, but i'd like to LIVE more, you know...

There are so many damn things that i'd like to do, that i'd have to live 5 or 5 lives just to fulfill all of my cravings......

Here is a dump of all the "processes" that are in "queue" in my "memory"!!
I'd like to see all the wonders of the world.
I'd like to see all the important monuments of the world.

>>The Cosmos for me is the most intriguing thing in the universe (of course!) i think about it 24x7.
>>I think about how did the life of the universe span out that we were created from a huge blast "The Big Bang"
>>I think what is our journey, where is it going to take us, what have we done right, what have we done wrong.
>>What is the fate of the human race, what is the fate of our once beautiful planet called "Earth".
>>Are there truly other life forms in the universe?
>>There are millions of galaxies and billions of planets in the entire universe, it seems kinda hard to believe that WE are the ONLY life forms in the ENTIRE universe!!
>>The odds just dont fit in, its just not possible, the probability suggests there ARE other life forms.
>>We are so far away, that we might have detected them, and the rate at which the universe is expanding, we might never see them.
moving on.......
I'd like to visit all the adventure "zones" in the world.
I'd like to go to Madagascar and SEE the WILD.
i'd like to go skin-diving and feed a Great White Shark.

I'd like to live long enough to see the World transform into the universe depicted in the "Star Wars".
I'd like to DRIVE in the Sky in the future.
I'd like to travel through time and space i.e Teleport and Time-travel.

>>Oh how i woulda loved to see dinosaurs!!
I'd like to do all the adventure sports there are like base jumping, sky-diving etc

I just wanna do everything that i can, everything that is possible and everything that is impossible like Actually witnessing the end of the Universe, i'd like to see what happens when the sun dims out!! Seems stupid and dumb, i know but cant do anything about it!!

I agree many or most of the things that i've mentioned and many of those things that i havent are impossible, but that doesnt stop me from dreaming about them at night, i must tell you the cosmos is a beautiful place!!! LOL

Theres just toooo much to do but not enough time and face it not enough money!! huhuhu

I want to do too much in this short life span, i'd be a happy soul when i look back and check at atleast some of those things that i want to do........

My Experiences in SIESCOMS

2008-10-02T01:05:00.000+05:30

So...After a summer of torment, not knowing whether or not you've passed....joining a new college and paying 65+ grands, life was tensed.....But in retrospective, life couldnt be any better....for this is by far the best decision i ever made in my entire life....Joining SIESCOMS.....I had already heard a great deal about it, as my cousin sister had dome BMS from here... So the popularity and the crowd and the ambiance and the environment were all known to me before hand... i'm a bit shy, so i was s little afraid how i would bed-in with such hi-fi crowd!! Well, i'm happy to tell, that the crowd is awesome and is hi-fi, but they are wonderful bunch of people...We gelled together very quickly, quickly than i ever imagined!! I never really thought i'd be able to mingle with a few let alone almost my entire class!!! Whats more, i'm the Class Representative!! What an honour!!! I hope nad pray that these would be the best three years of my life!!

But what really stunned me, was the quality of the infrastructure and teh teaching faculty. Each class is rigged with 2 huge bluestar AC's and a projection for a presentaions and instant demonstrations of examples. The teaching stuff is highly experienced and has a lot of industry experience... the way they teach is also highly exhaustive, with the faculty not taking it for granted that some of the students are from IT or CS background.Plus we have state-of-the-art computer laboratories with ample space to fit in 60+ students and comfortably and full-fledged library with thousands of volumes on teh widest range of books, a great gymnasium with table tennis and carrom boards, a huge canteen with the most excellent food, and a heavenly premises with a lot of temples and a very famous 40 feet or so statue of Lord Hanuman, a dream for a back-yard with sun-kissing mountains and deep vallies, this sight is truly spectacular to watch....

With such a wonderful crowd, awesome facutly, top-notch facilities and infrastructure, i dont even feel like bunking lectures and going home, i attend all my lectures exceptions are there when i fall sick, but i when i did fall sick i was so bored of sitting at home, i was missing my college, that just speaks volume at the atmosphere the college creats, that "tigers den", the gymnasium, where we've played table tennis for hours on end, a fantastic library and most importantly the college itself, it has a certain air of greatness about itself..... is it the various temples within the premises, the lush green garden, or the valley like back-yard? whatevere it is, i cant seem to talk my eyes of it.... it seems to be drawing my closer to itself.....I thank the lord for giving my such a wonderful oppurtunity...I hope i utilize this oppurtuinty to the fullest.....

Well as u can see, the maps are huge and fully rendered, with crisp HD textures, and amazing facial expressions, and of course, no one can doubt about the car physics, right!?
Cant wait for more more news about this game, and the other id baby, DOOM.....yay!! xD
We'll be seeing much more of these in the coming months....... :)

Dimming the Sun - The Effects of Global Dimming.....

2008-07-28T14:09:00.000+05:30

We all have heard the term Global Warming and the effects it will have on the planet, we have also heard of the collective efforts of the worlds economies to reduce it, if not eradicate this problem.

Heres the definition of global warming according to wikipedia :

"Global warming is the increase in the average measured temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans since the mid-twentieth century, and its projected continuation."

What this means is that the temperature of the atmosphere around us is steadily increasing and causing the earth to become warmer..

But heres the problem, according to recent studies conducted on "pan evaporation" in Australia, Russia, Germany, Israel and the Maldives, the amount of sun's rays reaching the earth as decreased by a drastic level i.e that there's a 22% reduction of the sun's rays reaching earth....

How this "pan evaporation" test works is simple, we fill a big pan with water and document the amount of water that has evaporated and how much temperature is needed to evaporate that amount of water....

What the scientists concluded was astounding, there was actually a "decrease" in the amount of evaporation taking place, now some you might think that thats just crazy, due to global warming there should be an "increase" in the amount of evaporation....

But thats not the case, the process of evaporation doesn't actually depend on the temperature, rather it depends on the sun, the humidity and the air ,so if the amount of evaporation has reduced then it is logical to believe that the amount of sun-rays reaching us has reduced too!

But this causes a paradox with the global warming phenomenon, heres what the scientists have found out......

Global warming is caused by the green-house gases that we release into the air when we drive a car, or because of a forest-fire. These green-house gases which include soot, ash and other particles is blocking the amount of heat that was supposed to escape the earth's atmosphere, in turn making the earth hotter, now these same particles are also affecting the clouds. Now clouds are formed when water-vapour condenses and sticks to naturally forming particles, but with the amount of artificial man-made particles increasing, the amount of clouds formed is more and they are denser, these man-made particles are smaller compared to the natural particles but they are huge in number, so in essence many smaller particles reflect more sunlight than few large particles, effectively making the clouds as huge mirrors in the sky......this effect is reducing the earth temperature significantly.....

So theres a kind of tug-of-war between global warming and global dimming.....

One pulling earth towards a hotter climate and the other pulling it to a cooler climate.....

So what this means is that the green-houses gases that we let out are giving a double-whammy..

The effects of global dimming are already felt, in the 1980's, Ethiopia was hit by one of the worst documented famine that affected more than 50 milllion people and stunned the world, now scientists are lead to believe that this was a direct effect of global dimming, due to pollution caused by the American and European countries the amount of particles in the air increased, in effect making the earth cooler and less water was evaporated, leading to less rain clouds, which drifted towards the south, and the life-giving rains of Ethiopia failed...

And scientists believe that this was just a preview of what could happen........

Imagine a similar situation here in Asia, with more than half the earth's population living here, the effects could be disastrous!!

Now scientists are believing, if such a phenomenon existed and was overlooked for so many years than most of today's global warming models are incorrect....

Now, global dimming is cooling the effect of global warming nearly by 50% percent, imagine what would happen if global warming won the tug-of-war, there could be a drastic temperature increase of nearly 10 degrees!! A similar kind of event took place under natural occurrences albeit about 50 million years ago!! So this was an extreme global warming, the big daddy of global warming!!!

So ironically, the pollutants that we emitted actually cooled the earth down enough to blind us from, what could be so deadly a global warming phenomenon, our children could be living in a world where the temperature could sour unto 10 degrees!!!

Scientist believe that after this decade if the global warming was not controlled and kept within 1 degree then we would be at a point-of-no-return, and the earth which was so hospitable would not so hospitable....

Further, with a stark rise in temperature, all the natural green-house gases that are stabilized deep within the oceanic floor would be destabilized and start bubbling out... there's more the 10 billion cubic tonnes of methane gases within the ocean, methane is 3 times more dangerous than carbon monoxide, leading to a further increase in the temperature, upto even 25 degrees. The diminished water vapor in the air could lead to entire rain-forests getting burned out,large scale soil erosion. With a steep temperature rise as this, most of the plant life would not able to withstand it, eventually dieing out.....

So it is upto us, to save out planet, it is upto us to present a better, greener world to our children, it is upto us, to decide the fate of our home......our earth

One Home.One Earth.

This is nuspeed cycling out......

adios and take good care of yourself our your environment....

Go green...

Scholastic Nostalgia........

2008-07-16T15:03:00.000+05:30

Today i went to my once school to collect my passing certificate (:S i know, i know...)
I had gone at 9:00 as i remembered that my school office opened at about that time, but once i got there, i learnt that the secondary office ma'am had not yet come, so the receptionist told me to come back at 10:30 am. Dejected, i went about my other errands that i was supposed to complete and i made it just about 10:30 am, so i was allowed to go up....

As i started to ascend on the flight of stairs i was greeted by this massive message board which read "I am born for greater things...", flashes of my school days started to blink in my eyes, i was taken aback by this feeling! It was nothing i had ever felt before,i was surprised but delighted to be back, as i was going up , i remembered how we used to play "pakada-pakadi" during lunch break on that very stairs!!
I had a smile on my face!!!

As i made my way to the secondary office, i was greeted by Ranjan (that's right i still remembered his name!!) - our stud peon :P - He asked me what i wanted, reluctantly and with a innocent smile i said i wanted my passing certificate and said i was from the 2002/03 batch..... He looked at me said "Wait,I'll get the file!", in my mind i thought this was faar too easy....
He then brought a big file with text bearing "2002 - 2003", he asked my name and started searching, once he got the certificate he started counting something with his fingers, he said "You are soo late, u'll have to pay the late fee!", i thot "thats it, there's the catch...."
He said you'll have to give Rs 5000, i was like "whoa! whao! what!!" seeing my red face, he started bursting in the most sly laughter! I then realised he was playing tricks!!!
But he said "Because its you i'm leaving, i'll be taking late from your other friends!!"

Once that was over, i decided to take a quick tour of my school, and my my has it changed!!
And the ground looked soo footballable!! lol! Green grass just like a Wimbledon grass court!!!
Then a certain nostalgia feeling crept-in and i could feel my heart becoming heavy and my eyes becoming moist with tears... The feeling was too over-whelming and i had to sit down for a while at the church steps to gather myself....
After about 15 mins, i got up said a goobye and promised i'll vist more often and left, after a quick visit to our beautiful church!!

I realised how much i loved my school and ohh how i longed to be there, i'd give anything to be back in school!! :)

Ad majora Natus sum

Take good care of yourselves......

A Series of Unfortunate Events......

2008-06-29T12:58:00.005+05:30

Well this a little story of the various accidents/fractures/misadventures that i have endured/received in my 20 years on this once green earth.....So here it goes, i may not be able to jot down all that i have managed to endure but i'll try my best!

Disclaimer : The events transcribed here may or may not be in chronological order, more will be added so keep checking this particular post!! Rest assured that all the details are true and werent made up just to make an interesting read.....

Catastrophe #1

here i was, maybe 5/6 months old, sleeping like a baby (duh!!) in my imported cradle and boom there's a mouse on my face and it has bitten off what was then a chunk of my damned nose!!! And i was bleeding so profusely that my mom said, my head was looking like a REALLY ripe tomato!! I still bear the scar of that attack on me, really embarrassing :S and my mom proudly tells this story to all, so i decided I'll tell it too!!

Catastrophe #2

When i was really young, like 3/4 years, i used to live in a place called Thakurli, and there were railways tracks right behind our apartments, so this one day, i went on a little adventure on these railways tracks.....i walked for like 30 mins and i was really young and dumb, i feel unconscious on the damn tracks with a train careening towards me, then all i remember is that I'm sleeping in my room with a high fever, i dismissed this incident as a dream, but when i woke, i realized that this incident did happen....apparently an unknown man saw my lying on the tracks, saw the train coming towards me, he picked me up (read saved my life!!) and started to inquire our building watchman about me, he then handed me over to my mom, scolded my mom for not keeping an eye on this young child!! and left...i never got to see the man, nor speak to him.... and since that day i NEVER ventured on the railways tracks....God Bless that man!!

Catastrophe #3

This was one of the most catastrophic injuries that i have ever received till date.......I was like 7 or 8 and my family and me had gone for a wedding in dadar, and we had to cross two main-roads to get to the marriage hall which was located on the other side of the road and as curios and naughty i was, i wanted to get to dad who had already crossed the road and was waiting for us to cross, i let off my mom's hand and ran to cross the road, not realizing that the signal had turned green and a huge white Ambassador was hurtling towards me at high speed, before i could respond this car had hit me and i flew about 4/5 feet in the air and landed on the foot path, and that car had sped away thinking i was dead. Mom tells me that she too had thought i was dead and started crying and went numb for a few minutes, because my seemingly lifeless body wasn't moving, hearing all the commotion, all the wedding guests rushed out to see what had happened, the brides dad was feeling awful and was trying to console my mom, luckily and obviously, i was breathing and was taken to Sion hospital and after examination, the doctor said i had a major fracture to my right leg, just below the knee. So, my leg was all plastered up and i had to miss about 45/50 days of school for recuperation.....

My Size 13 Shoes.

2008-05-25T17:02:00.002+05:30

No, its no typo, my shoe size is really 13!!
No wonder people say 13 is an unlucky number!! I cant seem to find a shoe that fits me...Not a single one!!
I have to search and search and search and then search a little more!!
And EVEN if i do find something, it will the most pathetic, bland looking shoes you'll ever have seen....
Seems like all the good stuff is limited upto size 11....... and that makes me MAD!!!! :x
I go to Nike, i go to Reebok, i go to Bata, i go to Puma, i go to Adidas and they say we "normally" don't have customers with size 13 shoes..... wrong answer coppertop, now I'd like to blow Ur brains out!!
I go to parel, i go to bandra, i go to juhu, i go to VT, heck i go to dadar and baam!! nothing!! i mean wtf!!!
What sins did i commit in my previous life!?! :S
I enter one of the local brands like Bata and when they measure my foot size , they look at me as if I'm a convicted criminal, its really incriminating, i feel as if i have commit the most horrific wretched crimes......
I enter one of those international "money-sucking-wallet-emptying" brands and they say we'll have to specially make/order those shoes for you or make do with shoes a size smaller...... but they say that with a sly look in their face......
I really feel embarassed when there are dozens of people in the shop and the shout to each enquiring if they have "SIZE 13" shoes in storage.....i hate the feeling of dozens of eyes gazing at me or maybe they gaze at my foot?? hmmmmm??!.......
i already feel a little awkward with my unusal height, coupled with this gazing and its a recipe for emotional turmoil.....
Lastly , i would like to request/beg the shopes in mumbai to have a resonably large stock of "SIZE 13" shoes. coz sooner or later i'm going to come knocking at your doorsteps.....
Adios........
Chao and take care of yourself........
cyaaaaa........

Kings Of Europe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2008-05-22T22:03:00.006+05:30

So it was here atlast, the UEFA Champions League Finals, in Moscow.
After all the agonizing time we had to wait for the biggest spectacle in Club Football, it was finally here, and how.
The footballers would have been forgiven, had they have gone in and played slowly and defensively...
But all credit to both sets of players and managers, for producing the amazing match that was the Champions League Finals.
Before the match had even begun, there was speculative talk about the pitch in the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, for the turf was "imported" from Slovakia specially for this match, it was laid a mere 20 or so days ago.
I'm no pitch expert but, the turf required a few more days of "bedding in" for many players were slipping all over the place, whatever the doubts about the pitch were, they were down played by both managers.
This was the biggest match for most of the players, with United having the experience of begin in the Final twice and winning them both, was this going to be a hat-trick for the Reds? Only time would tell.
As for Chelsea, what a marvellous feat, this was their first UEFA Champions League Final. If you think of it, they were under a different manager , when the tournament started. Full credit to Avram Grant for doing what the self proclaimed "Chosen One" ie., José Mourinho couldnt do, lead Chelsea into the Finals of the biggest club competition in the world.
The game started fairly openly, with both sets of players not begin afraid to attack. Most people thought Sir Alex, would go with either a 4-5-1 or 4-3-3 formation. Avram Grant made his strategies with these formations in mind. But Sir Alex, like he usually does, surprised all by bring out a regulation 4-4-2 formation with C.Ronaldo and Hargreaves as the wingers, Scholes and Carrick making up the central mid-field, and Tevez and Rooney as the 2 forwards.
The first half was all United's as they put togather one attack after another, breaking the Chelsea back four quite regularly, with their smooth and skillful passing.

At the 26th minute, United struck with the help of intricate pasing between Wes Brown and Paul Scholes, Brown then sent a delicious pass that hung in the air perfectly for C.Ronaldo who headed in a absoulte cracker of a goal to give United the lead.This was his first goal against Chelsea, and what a perfect occasion to get it!
Then United piled on the pressure with superb breaks that left Chelsea wide open. Chelsea could have easily gone down 3-0 within the opening 30 miutes, but for some fine saving by Petr Cech.
Then out of the blue, there came Essein of Chelsea and blasted a shot that took two deflections and sat perfectly for Frank Lampard, who scored a goal in the 45th minute, things werent helped by the fact the Edwin Van der Saar slipped while scurring for the ball.

The second half saw the revival of Chelsea who in the first half somehow could not get going but for the goal, they started to dominate possession with United being second best throughtout the second half. Then there was a lean spelling when neither team looked like scoring. At about the 76th minute, Didier Drogba let one fly, he had Van der Saar beat, but was denied by the wood work! The second half was nearing its end, with Extra Time seeming inevitable. In came Ryan Giggs, on for Wayne Rooney, his 769th appearence for United, a club record!!
This was the end of the Normal Time, after a short break, the extra time started with two halves of 15 minutes each. The result would be decided in this time or it would go down to Penalties!
Extra Time started and after a few minutes play United could have won it had Giggs connected well, from a superb run of Evra. Terry came to their rescue, again! Extra Time was ending thick and fast, then all of a sudden the Chelsea players surrounded the refree over a minisclue matter and this led to a small fight between Drogba and Vidic, Drogba seemingly having slapped Vidic right in front of the refree, it was a straight Red Card for Drogba, what a disgrace!!, it all was going well for 2 or so hours......In all this, extra time was nearing the end.

And when Penalties was inevitable, both managers made substituitions with the spot kicks in mind, Sir Alex bringing on Anderson.
The penalty was taken in front of the United side of the crowd, first chance fell to United and Tevez was up for the challenge sending Cech the wrong way, it was 1-0 for United. Up came Ballack for Chelsea he was too up for it, scoring even though Van der Saar went the right way. It was all square again with 1-1. Next up was Carrick he too scored again taking United into the lead 2-1. Out came Belletti again equallising 2-2. Then came Ronaldo, surely he would score, but guess what he didnt! Yes the man who scored 42 goals this season missed his penalty, surely he thought United would lose! Score remained at 2-2.

Then it was Lampard who smashed in the penalty, helping Chelsea take the lead for the first time. It was 2-3 for Chelsea.
Then came Hargreaves who scored a cracker taking United level to 3-3. Ashley Cole came out for Chelsea, he again scored taking the score to 4-3. Next came Nani, it was upto him, it was sudden death, if he missed the title would be Chelsea's, if he scored they still would be in it. With seemingly insurmountable pressure and United's final spot kick, scores he does. Score line again 4-4. Next came John Terry, captain of Chelsea, surely now, Chelsea would be crowned Champions..... Well fate had written a different story, one with a million twists. Terry calmly came in, took the penalty but during his run-up, he slipped and even though Van der Saar went the wrong way the ball hit the wood work and went out and United were saved!!!!!!!!! And the Chelsea contigent could not believe what just happened!!! Terry was still lying motionless on the ground.

Scoreline still remained at 4-4!!!!! United were given a life line, perhaps by the souls of the Busby Babes, this day marked the 50th Anniversary of the Munich Air Disaster.......
Next came in the 19 year old Anderson, who and never scored from normal play for United, he stepped up and smashed in the penalty with the scoreline now reading 5-4 in favour of United, now all the pressure shifted towards Chelsea. In came, Solomon Kalou and scored the penalty, score line now read 5-5. Next came in the veteran Giggs, with immense experience, he was the perfect man for the job, scoring a superb penalty. scoreline was now 6-5. Since this was sudden death, the first team that missed would hand over the title to their opponents.....
Up came Nicolas Anelka for Chelsea, he seemed calm enough to slot home a goal, but whats this??? Van der Saar has saved the penalty!!!!! He has won the Champions League for United!!!!!!!!!!
MANCHESTER UNITED ARE THE NEW EUROPEAN CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What joy, what glory, what an achievement!!!!!!!!
And i Cried!!!!! I really really cried!!!!!!
The scenes after, were the one of pure joy for all things United, and complete despair for all things Chelsea............
And poor John Terry was inconsolable!!! I really felt for Terry, better luck mate........
This was United's third final and they won all of them.....So they DID pull of a hat-trick!!!!!!!

Scenes followed, that one would never forget, moments to savour for life!!!!
Well done lads, you deserve it...
United hadn't lost a single match before the finals and that recored remained intact!!!!
Really, they completely deserve this, all of the them..... The whole team, managers, couching staff, scouts and all associated with Manchester United!!!!!!!!!!!!
GLORY, GLORY MAN UNITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Campione Campione oye oye oye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a dream season, what a dream double, What a dream team!!!!!!
Well done boys and congratulations!!!!!!

Until next time this is nuspeed screaming my lungs out, cheering for man united........
Cyaaa and take care...........
Choooooooooo...................

Damn you Taxi's and Auto's!!!! grrrrrr! :-X

2008-05-20T23:49:00.003+05:30

How many of u have literally found yourself begging for the damn taxis/auto with teary eyes?
I know most of you have experienced this a million times........
Today i had gone to Kanjurgmarg to my sister's place, we got down at the station and started to ask for auto rickshaw's to her aparment, and as if that area was taboo not a single "autowalla" was willing to ferry us to that destination, i was felling like i wanted to rip the head out of the next autowalla that said NO to us, i rly did!!!
And after about 20 mins of constant begging did we get a autowalla!!!
This was just one of the incidents that i have faced......
During one afternoon, i had to go to sion-koliwada for stitching my jeans (wat?? i cant afford Levi's et al [;)] )so i started at my house which is in matunga and i reached all the way upto king's circle, there one of the cabbie said "Koi sardar ko pucho, wo zaroor aayega", as if he was putting gasoline in my already burning rage, i lashed out at him, giving him a earful, i literally shouted on top of my voice that "if u dont want to come to the place i want to go, then bha***** take me to the place u effing want to go!!!" and i must add i had become as red as a tomato!!!! [:D]
Then one fine evening i was at wadala returning after an errand and i wanted to go to matunga, not a single effing cabbie obliged........not a single effeing cabbie!!! i was enraged, i was VERY VERY enraged, so i shouted at the next cabbie that "bhosa***** matunga tak chalke jaau kya??"
So i decided that from next time i am going to give my piece of mind to the third unlucky cabbie that denies me!!! and boy! how many cabbies had to feeling my wrath!!!

And what actually enraged me EVEN more is the fact that Cabbie/Rickwallas cant really say no to a passenger....
I had seen an advert on some news channel which said that "if a cabbie/rickwalla says no, we can complain to the RTO and have his license cancelled"

As per the Maharashtra Motor Vehicles Act, Section 22 (d) 178 (3) (b), "Auto rickshaw driver Refusing to ply for hire" attracts a penalty of Rs. 100, and it goes up to Rs. 200 for a Taxi refusing to ply.

In simple terms, if an auto rickshaw or a taxi is plying on the road, with its meter UP showing "FOR HIRE", they will HAVE to go wherever the passenger wants to go, IRRESPECTIVE of the distance.

So,
We DO NOT need to ASK the Auto/Taxi driver whether he will take us to a particular destination. Instead simply hail an auto/cab and GET IN first and then tell the driver to take you to the desired destination.

The Driver cannot ask you to get down from his vehicle. He will have to ferry you to your destination.

If he tries to get physical, simply call up 100 from your cell phone and inform them about the location of the auto/cab and the Registration number.

If you have complaint against any Auto/Taxi driver who refused to ply to your destination, you can lodge a complain against him using the Mumbai Traffic Police Website:
http://trafficpolicemumbai.org/Complaint%20Form%20aginst%20ART.html

Or you can simply fax your complaint to 022-24927237,24924734,24925462

You can also email the Joint Commissioner of Police (Traffic) at jcptraffic@trafficpolicemumbai.org and jcptraffic@gmail.com

Here's what The Joint Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Mr. Hemant Karkare had to say about auto/taxi drivers who refuse passengers :

"The city’s taxi drivers are duty-bound. They cannot refuse to take a passenger to a destination within the city limits, and can be penalized under the Motor Vehicles Act if they do so. When a driver refuses to comply, you must complain to a constable or at a police station. Make sure to note the taxi’s number. You can also complain via email or post. We verify the complaint and take appropriate action. The driver is asked to pay a fine of Rs100, or his license is taken away. Taxi drivers refuse to go to some places because they might not get return fare. Sometimes they have finished work and are on their way home. However, none of these reasons is acceptable."

—Hemant Karkare. Joint commissioner of police

SO, Don’t take it lying down, don’t take NO for an answer.. Show them that now you are empowered!!!
Let the auto/taxi drivers know that they cant take us for granted anymore.. Show them who's the BOSS !

until next time this is nuspeed thinking of profanity and slanf terminology for cabbies/rickwallas......
chaooo and Dont take NO for an answer.......
cyaaa........

My Home, My Life, My Hood

2008-05-07T11:12:00.006+05:30

Matunga, Mumbai, India.......Thats where i've lived most of my highly imaginative and satisfactory life.......
Home, Sweet Home is a commonly used phrase around our once green planet.....
But when it comes to me, its bigger than that........
Its just not Home, Sweet Home for me.....its more like Home, Great Home, or Home, Amazing Home, or maybe even Home, Life Home............you know.....
Where ever i may roam, where ever i may have gone, where ever i may have lived....theres a huge void within me........
I don't know what it is....is it the soul of my home, the aura that surrounds it or the the spiritual presence it has in my heart......
I've realized it countless number of times, every time i have gone out for vacations, away from my home, theres a big emptiness that slowly, steadily and surely creeps in.......
Each passing minute, each passing hour, each passing day, in fact each passing instant only emboldens that feeling within me....its like every instant ignites an already burning desire to get back home.......back to where i love it the most, back to my roots, back to where i live.........
Every time i m away from my place of solace it only reminds me how much i love this place, how much i hate being away from it......
Its like god to me......provides shelter to me, keeps me safe.......helps me be comfortable and has no expectations..........
keeps me warm and cozy in winter, cools me down when me and the temperature flare up........ [:D], provides me cover when its raining cats and dogs........
In fact its hard to imagine a life without her.......by her i mean "The Mother, The Home".........
The entire time that i am away from her...it feels like a small piece of my soul is disintegrating from me, it hurts, its painful, but circumstances cant be avoided when u simply have to leave her albeit for a short while....in hindi we say "Dil par patthar rakhke" literally it translates to "by keeping a rock on our heart", but figuratively speaking it means "doing something so painful its hard to comprehend".......
Theres a feeling in my heart which cant be transliterated into words of this language anyway, that simply pushes me, commands me, hell even throws me into a spiral that makes me go back to my home.....
There an airy restlessness each passing day, which finally nears to the end of my emotional turmoil ie that nears the end of my so called "fun-filled" vacation.....
Its not fun filled without her, and it will never be.......
Each day that passes only reminds me how much i take her for granted, how i never think of pain that fills me when i am away from her.......
So each pain filled moment passes, transforming itself into "The Day", The Day when i head back to the place from where i had head to this place.........back home, back to my spiritual nirvana, back to my karma so to speak........
It heightens the reckless feeling in me, i cant sleep, i cant think rationally for a second, i cant wait to reach home.........
The day when i set out to go back home, i m like a kid thats lost, but knows wheres he's heading, he doesn't know how to go to the place he has his sights set to, but still sets out, challenges himself, overcomes those challenges and reaches to the "Final Destination" someway or the other.........
It doesnt matter how you reach teh place, only things that matters is that you've reached the place you love so much.......
And when, after a while, you reach to that place, theres a rush of blood to your brain and you begin to think rationally, you begin to see the colour in this world, your sights get focussed again after a time span of dazed vision.......
And you feel "Why on earth did i even leave this place??"
Thats exactly the reason that you leave this place in the first place.....
You leave this place to truly understand what you feel about it, how you'd survive without it.......
You leave this place so as to ask yourself, "Why on earth did i leave this place??".
When you are back home, your daily routine begins, as if nothing had happened, in fact you have been molded back together, you might not know it consciously but deep within you have been remade, remade by a force that is inexplicable, that is divine, and a force that you cannot live without............
In every sense of the word "Home, Sweet Home" sums up all the bitter sorrow that engulfes us when we are away from it and then when we come back, filles us with all the sweet happiness that not only negates all the sorrow but surpasses it.......
There no place on heaven or hell that would make me leave my home.........
Theres no better place i'd rather live in than my home.......
I Love You.........
I cant live without you...........

until next time, this is nuspeed adoring his so called "four walls"........
adios and take care of yaselves and your home.........
chaooooo........

Manchester United V/s Arsenal : Post Match thoughts

2008-04-14T12:29:00.005+05:30

What a sensational match!!!!
Truly Epic...in every sense of the word!!!
One of the best matches I've seen this season.....
The first half was an open-ended affair...with arsenal having the better chances but poor finishes....
It was fast paced...with either sides breaking at lightning speeds!!
The second half began much like the first half ended...with fast pace....
and within 3 minutes of the restart Arsenal opened the scoring with a great ball from van Persie being converted into a goal by Adebayor, at first the ball seemed to be headed in from between Fredinand and van der Saar, but replays showed that Adebayor actually used a hand....will a hand at reds end to a hand at arsenal's end by Gallas within 6 minutes, led to United being awarded a penalty...i literally closed my eyes, muted the T.V, crossed my fingers, and told others to not tell me what had happened, i was trembling too :D ;)........ then when i opened my eyes, Ronaldo had scored but the ref denied it...i thought what the hell!!??...but to my relief he was allowed to take it again and i did the same thing again.....muted the TV and closed my eyes, and would you know it?? Ronaldo scored :D as if i didn't know that!! That was goal number 38 for Mr.Ronaldo, and arsenal lead was equalized......

Then, Ferguson made to changed bringing in Anderson and Tevez....
Both instantly impacted the game and brought a sense of speed to United play....
We won a free kick in a very good position, just enough for Ronaldo to bend it....
But whats this Hargreaves has placed the ball as if he's going to take it....i thought well it will be a near miss, but what a sensational goal!!!!!!
It was bent so much the Lehmann got fooled into thinking it would just miss the goal and he didn't even move!!!!
To be frank...the goal reminded me of David Backham's free-kicks!!
Bend it like Hargreaves!!!!

A great match for us to win, going behind, then equalizing and then ultimately winning the match!!!! Just the perfect result for us.....now we're off to Barcelona!!!!

Until that match this is nuspeed dribbling out............
Chaoo and take care.....
Cyaaa and Glory, Glory Man United!!!
