Major fire in Mhow Bazar

2012-01-18T13:19:00.000+05:30

Last night witnessed a major fire outbreak in the central Bazar (Main Street) of Mhow. It was in a toy shop adjacent to Vinaykam cloth store, and very near to the place where the old Banyan Tree used to be. The fire started at about 1 AM in night and it took almost an eternity for the first fire vehicle to come to the spot and finally at about 2:30 AM it reached to the spot and started working. The exact reason is still unknown (to me at-least) and the good news is that there has been no casuality from this fire.

The whole stock of toys was burnt and the fire continued till about 5 AM. And it took about 5-6 tanker water to win over. I was shocked to see the emergency service status though. It took about 30-40 minutes for the fire vehicle to arrive on the spot after being called even though the fire station is just about a km or 2 away from the spot. Also, while the first vehicle was used by the fire-mans to take control of the situation, no other backup fire vehicle came to spot. And by the time the first vehicle's water was all used up, the fire in the shop had subsided considerably. However this fire-vehicle had to return to get water tank refilled and while this vehicle was gone, fire had marred all the work done.

I could not understand why the other fire vehicles had not come by 4 AM when we have fire vehicles in Army, Pithampur and Indore. They reached to the spot a good 15-30 minutes after the 1st vehicle had come back after refilling its water tank however by that time a lot of property (almost the whole house) was burnt which could have been saved.

Still thinking how and when we'll have better emergency services???

A good movie after a long time..(Continued)

Friends sorry for the delayed update about the movie.

I could not wait long to finish the movie, and watched the remaining part in my return journey back to home the same day. And have to admit, the remaining part was even better.
The movie as it turned out, is actually about the relationship of 2 brothers, rather than my initial impression of being a love story.

Towards the end, I had moist eyes thinking had I been the same person or better if I had an elder brother?

It is definitely a must watch for everyone who can sit through the movie while thinking and relating to his own life, otherwise you can find many loopholes and can laugh out load at many instances.

So my final verdict for this movie is that it is 4 * movie for some while it can be a 2 * movie for others.

A good movie after a long time

Friends, just a small update this time from me about a very nice movie I've started watching today morning while coming to office (could not complete it yet). The name of the movie is Bubble Gum, which is a superb movie about very moving story of a 14 year old boy. This movie has no big names except Sachin Khedekar, but overall everyone has acted brilliantly. The storyline doesn't leave any room for you to get bored, it is all moving at very swift pace while explaining what the boy is going thru. Kudos to the team of Bubble Gum, will post an update after i finish it.

Glance back

These days I'm just beginning to look back at my career and have been feeling how fortunate I've been. After starting my career as a software engineer in 2004 with Persistent Systems, I spent 7 long years doing various stuff, learning and unlearning a lot and then this association came to an abrupt end (because I had not thought that it would end this way) and I joined Impetus in Indore near my hometown Mhow. It has been a couple of moths here but I still feel like an outsider here. In Persistent life was like at my own terms, I used to be final decision making person for a lot of things that I could clearly see was not allowed for others.
Also now a days I'm thinking of becoming a freelancer, I've failed to do so earlier, however this time I'm thinking of starting on this path with a tele-commute job and then taking it forward if this goes well.
Any and all suggestions are welcome..

A new beginning
