Stress Busters with Pore and Malla

When I was a Teenager........................

2010-03-05T15:07:00.003+05:30

Let me start formally by a big "Hello" to all.Formality sounds better when you are seriously trying to repair a relation or when there has been an absolute lack of communication for a considerable amount of time.The latter holds true in our case.What stopped me from blogging is predictable but what brought me into it again can be attributed to the exceptional motivational skills of my dear friend

A beautiful "CURD" mind

Tribute to God!

2010-02-24T22:08:00.000+05:30

After a long long hiatus what inspires me to write? Well, I have seen god today. For all those, who have already drawn conclusions of me going crazy, hold on. Ok, let me scale down his status a bit and may be then you would agree as well. Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar, The ultimate GOD of cricket. What a man, what a genius, A true legend. Rarely would you find a person so grounded inspite of the fact

Who pays the bill ???

2009-12-17T13:28:00.012+05:30

After a forceful hiatus from blogging which can be safely blamed on the daily hassles of life reaching an equivalence point.I am back to what I love doing the most.No better way to unwind than switching into the nostalgic gear.I vividly remember we had a rocking group in school.The camaraderie was seen to be believed.We as a group were more famous rather than being known individually.Of-course

"YES" I can't say "NO"

2009-11-24T22:47:00.008+05:30

I am not sure how many of you are comfortable uttering the dreadful word "NO" , but I am for sure at complete disarray with it.I am at ease in scenarios like Boss's final take on a project or girlfriend's choice of gift on your birthday, where saying "No" is absolutely not in picture and you need to accept decisions gracefully putting up a brave smile. But the dilemma arises when I have an

Whats up with marriages and invitations?

2009-11-23T00:07:00.006+05:30

My friend called me one month after my wedding. "Hello! Vishal, tell me one thing. Are you married?", "Yes of-course", I replied, realizing that I had forgotten to invite him. "Many Congrats!" Bang, the phone was down. I tried to reach him. My calls were all rejected. Dropped him an sms. "Apologies, I somehow forgot, please come and meet me over a coffee!" Pat came the answer "Go to hell"

A shot at Bhaigiri!

2009-11-18T23:46:00.001+05:30

Inspite of the fact that Ranjit has warned me not to scribble on this subject again, I couldn't resist the temptation of describing another eventful Pune-Mumbai journey .There seem to be no dearth of stories and events while I happen to travel this route frequently for personal work. It was Saturday and after an unusually heavy meal, took my sack and boarded the bus. My thumb rule for any

How to face an interview.............................

2009-11-16T16:18:00.006+05:30

If you happen to have completed graduation without an appreciable track record and have taxed your brains to the hilt to qualify for higher studies but yet "Failed".You have no other way out but to succcumb to Social Pressure and hunt for a "Job" at an early stage....... That is exactly what happend to me though I managed to sneak in around 6 months of prefect bliss doing nothing as my

How to propose a girl - The township way!

2009-11-12T09:55:00.000+05:30

I spent my childhood in a superb sleepy place called Ozar Township which is about 19 kms from the holy city of Nasik. Township is a habitat for the employees of Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL). It has the company of a small and petite village called Ozar-goan which mainly belongs to the business class and farmers. The school in which we studied (Ranjit included, yes Ranjit is educated!) had

Was I focussed enough????????

2009-11-09T17:47:00.009+05:30

I was pretty much happy on a personal level with the way things had been unfolding over the past few weeks.When suddently the age old proverb "All good things come to an end came true on me" after I met this 15 or something adolscent in the bus on my way to office. Usually I have this habbit of getting into conversations with people in the bus just to kill the time and avoid dozing off which

Marriages are not made in heaven...........................

2009-10-27T10:50:00.002+05:30

Our forefathers downrightly declared "Marriages are made in heaven" cleverly ignoring the tricky part that thay are supposed to be celebrated on earth!!!! But how can one celebrate when marriages got futher classified into Love Marriage and Arranged Marriage. Love marriage holds the upper hand with only getting into love being the most difficult part and the rest just falls in place.The

Eka Daji chi kahani (Story of a son-in law)

2009-10-25T01:00:00.004+05:30

Daji, the term itself tickles the funny bone. The fun stops there though. This simple, innocent term creates loads of negative energies for the bride’s parents. The entire family is supposed to be addressing the son-in-law by this, with lots of respect, of course, never mind how the Daji looks or behaves. It is particularly used in the northern part of Maharashtra and its mere utterance means,

Getting nostalgic this Diwali.........

2009-10-18T23:00:00.004+05:30

First of all let me encash this opportuntiy to wish all of you a "Happy Diwali". Writing a post on paid Holiday with Karanji and Chaklis for company is something out of this world.The ambience of Diwali however is slowly but surely diminishing.The mithais are there infact more exotic and more sweeter,the crackers are more louder and more colorful,the lightings are more techno and state of the

I am a responsible citizen, are u?

2009-10-13T23:25:00.006+05:30

Honest Confession- I Vishal Pore voted for the first time in my life. Better late than never! And for the very first time I felt like a confident, responsible citizen. The feeling is upbeat and rightly goes with a promotion of a leading campaign "Hey, sarkar maza asel" which displays a hapless, suicidal farmer requesting to vote for the right candidate. The hype created by the media with

Shelar Mama, Nasik style Khichadi and much more

2009-10-11T01:09:00.006+05:30

It was yet another hopeless Wednesday morning and I was all alone at home killing time. All of a sudden my phone rang. Mornings usually i don't get calls from Ranjit, friends and well wishers. So,the phone ring i thought was from marketing executive who would promise to manage my portfolio, insurance sellers and other irritating scheme tellers. I was in no mood of an altercation so was trying to

When Things go wrong!

2009-10-08T00:53:00.005+05:30

One fine morning I getup and realize that I have a demand draft to be made from the cash, to pay my brothers college fees. Unfortunately the college for some strange reason does not accept cash. Only demand drafts, strictly! I think it is a fair and simple job though the draft has to be made today as it is going to be last day tomorrow. I casually walk at noon to the HDCF bank. I ask for it . I

Sorry ! We are Middle Class............................

2009-10-05T10:04:00.004+05:30

When god sent man on earth he never knew there was one more class waiting for him here where he would automatically fall in depending on the financial status and the rest of the course in the persons life would be decided upon the protocols followed in the class. So I am from a "Middle Class" now with that comes loads and loads of restrictions..So how do you define psyche of a middle class

Mugging a day keeps parents meeting away..............................................

2009-10-01T10:08:00.001+05:30

Since vishal has opened the gates to the dreaded topic of "Studies and Academics" I would like to highlight my approach towards studies which I followed throughout my entire school life which for sure earned me some accolades until this dreadful event happened which forced me to think for a second,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, The approach was simple and user friendly "MUGGING" When somebody

Keep it UP!

2009-09-29T23:46:00.002+05:30

Before you think our joint venture of writing this blog is all but over, no not yet!Just that I was pretty busy with personal stuff and Ranjit has all but given up and finally accepted that my marketing of the blog is pretty essential to take this forward and thus we have agreed upon a 70:30 partnership with me Vishal taking the larger pie, of-course. So whats up for today? Report cards! Can

Serial Killers...

2009-09-13T23:11:00.006+05:30

No, this is not a biography of any serial killer, but a few thoughts on soaps as they are called in the television industry. Soaps are like cancer. They kill you slowly but surely. Though they wont hurt you physically but they murder your mentality for sure. And thats why, the title sits there comfortably. Hey, I am not going you to bore you like Ranjit's posts. So stay tuned yet. To write this

ON THE WAY TO SCHOOL.........

2009-09-11T14:04:00.005+05:30

I would be lying if I dont admit that more than the time spent in school I enjoyed the journey to and back from it. On a typical school day the journey would begin with me on my cycle.A unique thing about this cycle was that the height of the cycle was inversely proportional to my height.In a socially accepted position of driving the cycle I would struggle to place my toes on ground and so I

Satish the intelligent dud(e)

2009-09-09T12:33:00.002+05:30

Back to original ways! San Satish is another dear and a common friend of ours. A straight forward guy with a no non-sense approach in life, his surname is more complicated than his nature. He is among the few guys who emante positive energy and usually after a chat with Satty means you are refreshed positively (with Ranjit its the opposite). Currently on an assignment in Japan, he is dying to get

What Went Wrong ??????

2009-09-04T22:37:00.007+05:30

No ! I am not discussing my career .Ever since I have given up hope I feel much better in that area.I am introspecting my big time failure to click amongst the opp sex in school..I can go one step ahead and confidently say “WE” here since my dear friend Vishal equally struggled with me and there was a healthy competition amongst us as to who would be the better struggler…….. “First impression is
