I have seen 'The Change'

One fine afternoon , I was driving back to home from one of famous Mall in Bangalore called 'Forum' .
As usual there was terrible traffic at adugodi signal, I saw someone peeking out of the sedan car windows and throwing a piece of paper on road. I felt shocked. All the campaigning , hoarding, banners, wall paintings to keep our city clean and green supported by almost all the big companies and governments are nothing but the wastage of their effort and money. People still do that. These are the same people who make faces whenever they see garbage hills and any dirty place. They simply run away as soon as possible. I couldn't resist myself , I took my bike to that piece of paper, picked it up and knocked the car window. Oh God.. it was a girl, the species who hate the dirtiness and blame we 'Man' for making this world unclean place. She misunderstood me and showed 'don't care' face, I insisted to open the window. I gave the piece of paper to the girl and said ' Please throw it in your Dustbin' she was guilty (and I wanted her to feel that ), she was ashamed. She took that paper back and closed the window immediately. The incident was over but I can bet she will think twice before throwing anything on road in future, she will think of me as a guy who humiliated her in public and a midst her friends who were in the car. I cannot do this all day but I wish people should do this whenever they see something like this on road. We should stop people who are making roads, parks or any public place dirty .
I promised myself not to throw anything on road, and I made someone realize that its wrong, small change but at least now 2 people wont do this on public places.

Another exactly opposite incident was happened in Volvo with me.

I love Bangalore Volvos because of their comfort ,and a peaceful journey, free of dirt , noise and smoke coming out of the RTO approved pollution free vehicles.
I was the first to board the bus, I took my seat and then another guy, quite simple looking (I can bet he was in IT industry by looking at his dress code of Monday) he grabbed a seat and immediately started calling the conductor saying that someone left his/her mobile in Volvo, the conductor was surprised. Usually we see people stealing/grabbing the mobile (or any other valuable) and run away or keep their mouth shut (even when someone ask) the conductor took the mobile and slipped in to his pocket, I donnow whether he will show the same honesty and handover the mobile (if some one claim) to the owner but that guy impressed me.
We often blame our surroundings for being selfish, emotionless and opportunists. very much true in most of the case but we all say and know that not all fingers are same, same with people ,they all are not same, we can still trust some. The most important thing is 'are we trustable!' 'can we do what that guy did!' well answer may differ according to the mobile model and situations but if we can promise ourselves that 'we will do what he did' we can make this world more beautiful, trustable and worth living. I have seen the changes. Everybody want to see the change but can we ask ourselves 'are we changing' 'can we change' if answer is yes, I m sure the whole world will change one day.

Thodi si zindagi mere liye bhi..

thodi si zindagi mere liye bhi
thode se armaan, thodi si ummeed mere liye bhi
bahut der se raat ho chuki hai
ab thoda ujala mere liye bhi

diye hai zindagi ne bahut se aise pal
dil khamosh tha,
koi aasra nahi ,
koi rehnuma nahi,
bus hum the aur thi hamari kuch yaaden
kuredta tha jakhm har jata hua pal
koi farq na tha, kya aaj hai aur kya kal

ab jab paayi hai kuch jindagi se mohabbat
jaagne se lage hai armaan ,
fir jeene ki ummeed,
lagte hai ab din aur raat apne se
kuch sitare apne se
kuch shaam apni si

aakhir kar na payi aur bewafai jindagi humse
taras hai ya kisi ki inaayat
ya hai ye woh mohabbat

ab aaye hai woh to kuch aur na chahne ka waqt hai
na khwahish
bus ab lagta hai
thodi si jindagi mil gayi hai
thodi si jindagi katne ke baad
thodi si khushi mil gayi
thode aansu bahane ke baad

Somethings should never change

One fine morning when sun was at full mood and i was as usual filthy lazy in my bed ,trying to match with the pace world is running ,i had this fine feeling about my life , how come i can have such a good life. I have this kind of fix schedule everyday, i don't have to worry about family ,loved one ;) , day work, afternoon lunch ,friends, relatives , evening meal etc etc, i know when i getup i will have something to eat, i have a place where i will work, call my family once in day , friends everywhere ready to rock any party, what else i need in my life. I see many of my species who are not kind of happy with this life style, i don't want to know their reason , i may be wrong from their point of view but who cares. okay.. so back to my morning, my roomie were up before me (that's an universal rule) and was getting ready to start for his daily office routine, me instead was sitting in front of my lapi , checking what all download are done and which all installation are failed .being a software engg i can't be prosecuted for looking for lapi as a first thing in the morning. i get my tea after lil struggle and few pathetically awesome word exchange with my roomies and then that moment came when me too have to get ready for office , but what is this it is already 11.15AM , gosh, cab is gone at 10AM :) so i got a reason to come to office by bike , so this is it i took bath and got my brand new pulsar 180 CC on road.
I love biking even on Bangalore roads , traffic starts just after 100 meters from my house , loads of helmet on the road, honking cars, tine autos trying get way any how, donnow why but this all makes me feel good , makes me feel normal. On the way to office i feel like one of them who run to keep this world running , some of them got a big car, some are in bicycle , some are trying to catch up by walking , believe me you can see the whole world at a glance on road, its so live.
Somehow I reached office after more than an one hour drive. My office is at manyata , almost 28 KM from my house but that’s okay. I checked my calendar , so i have one training in the afternoon , dance class in the evening and few mails to reply, that’s all, another relaxed day . I finished my training in the office, went to dance class and was all set to go home. I picked my bike, my friend asked me to drop him till forum, so we were two while going back, he showed me few new shortcuts and another Bangalore hidden yummy Bangalore bakery , called fathima bakery estd 1957 . I wonder sometimes, whoever claims to be a bangalorian has visited all bakery and tea shops? i dont think so :) i reached home by 8.30 , had another late night meeting and dinner after that.
i have this fav time pass of trying different OS on my lapi, latest is ubuntu :D , i have installed it and found it super cool , next task was to use some more cool stuff like macbuntu, few plugins and explore some more i can get out of linux.
Around 10.30 suddenly remember that my special friend wanted to complete infy's 9.15 hours, what can be best to have long drive with her that too on electronic city flyover (no traffic at all) i called her and asked, she said yes, i took my bike and started towards koramangala, picked her up and started form e-city, it was an awesome breeze and clear sky, you should be lil lucky to not get in the rain in this season. We were there in 20 minutes. She went inside office and was out within minutes and we were set to come back. I was in full swing , singing himesh reshamiya's ' Madhushala' , dhamaal 2's 'jalebi bai' and few more rubbish songs.
i was back in home by 11.50PM.
over all it was a fine day, i haven't missed a single thing one wants in his life, i wish i can live rest of my life in this way, i don’t want to change anything in this, nothing at all :)
bye for now, will come up with another fine day as soon as i have one
