Siddhartha, Bandra is known for its Rajasthani Thali. But this Thali is served only on Sunday’s. The image in this post is - Punjabi Thali.


The above image is - Surmai Thali from the same old Jai Hind, Bandra. I love Jai Hind.

The month of July and August were like a glimpse of hell.

DISssssssssssssGUSTING ! ! !

Forget it!

September looks like a great start.
I took a Brainwash, no nightmares now, and I am Ready to Rise and Shine!

Things also happen without Planning.

From past two/three months, me and my colleagues were planning for a movie. Five new movies passed-by.
But then today. Stress Levels were too high.
Three of us. We were walking together towards the station, after leaving office little early. Someone came-up with an urge to eat a burger. Then someone suggested a nice place where we can have one. Boom! We went to Bembos, Bandra.
After that we started walking in search of a Rick. Which we couldn’t find one. It was raining. Then suddenly one of us pointed towards the oldest multiplex in Mumbai. We went there to see the movies listed for 8.00pm show. Decided to watch “Transformers”

Offsite Training: YMCA Camp Lakeside!

This was a lonnnggggggg………. 3 days break from the daily Robotic life.
I can’t believe that I was away form the computer & internet for this much time.
I and my office-mates very much needed this break.

Training was awesome; I mean nothing was different as such. These were common learning which I heard from my parents, teachers etc…. since I was kid. But the way in which games were related to real life, forced me to rethink about those learning’s and understand there role in tackling real life problems.

In other words “I rediscovered myself”, which will really help my in my future life.

The video in this post is not mine. I picked it from YOUTUBE. There will be some more posts about this offsite, but later………..

ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Ad

“Life Insurance” since long time in India was treated as a product/ service purely & directly related to death of an individual. Previous TV Commercials of LIC use to display a death body in the background and family soaked in grief, then a message saying “Life Insurance is Necessary”

Now everything has changed. Since last 3 to 4 years this approach has diminished.

Just take a look at this “ICICI Prudential Life Insurance” ad. This is a wonderful ad where a wife convinces her husband that how insurance is essential for their family.

The message in this ad: Life Insurance guarantees your kid’s education, retirement solution & Tension-Free Future, Thus reducing Tension. And without tension people live longer. So for a longer life take a “Life Insurance Plan”

The most amazing thing nowadays is Life Insurance is not just Life Insurance. Like ICICI Prulife many Insurance companies club Life Insurance with other plans such as Education, Wealth, Health and Retirement Plans.

Lunch at “Rice Boat” Bandra.

This was the second time, with my office team. Previously I ate something which was a South-Indian version of Veg-Kurma, I don’t even remember the name and can’t even pronounce it.

I have many Malayalam friends and that’s where I got the taste of Kerala-Food and started loving it.

Today I ate something called “Sadya”. Like Maharashtrian Thali and Gujarati Thali, it’s a Traditional Kerala Thali. “Sadya” costs Rs.175.

Food was served on a banana leaf.

This restaurant is on Western Express highway, Bandra East. Gomantak, a restaurant known for it Malvani cuisine, especially seafood is also situated on the same lane.

Poem of Rain.

I almost wrote a poem for this post. And it was regarding rains. But my colleagues highly de-motivated me. So now I have to rethink and write something else.

Again, Mumbai suffering from Backache! Again, Rains are Back! Again, everything Blocked!

Beautiful Jholer!

Beautiful Jholer!

“Beautiful Jholer!
You never know
Why are we the ones who suffer
We have to let go
He won’t be the one to cry

Let’s not kill the karma
Let’s not start a fight
It’s not worth the drama
For a beautiful Jholer
Did he laugh about it
It’s not worth out time
We can live without him
Just a beautiful Jholer!”

Pause……………………………………………..

This was my birthday gift/ prank. Basically it was wallpaper designed specially for me with Shakira on right and beyonce on left, wearing decent clothes, I mean decent.

"Jholer" is a term used in India for Saints, so please don’t get confused.

There's a thing in my pocket………….A tempting Nokia N95 Ad. I am dying to get this Thing. I want this thing in MY Pocket!

“There's a thing in my pocket but it’s not one thing it’s many.
It’s the same as other things but exactly like nothing else.
It has an eye and an ear that shares what billions hear and see.
It’s not a living thing but if you feed it, it will grow.
It can rally the masses it can silence the crowd.
It can speak a thousand words, but it has no voice.
It can find you the places so you can get lost. And it can let others feel what you’ve just been touched by.
There is a thing in my pocket but its not one thing it’s many.”

Nokia N95

So, There can and will be a thing in my pocket after a month or two……………………….

I don’t believe in history. We can create history.

Wait! Don’t laugh.
I know this is highly illogical and funny statement.
But I said that, during a meeting in my office, and some people in that room started laughing.

But the reality is:
I was talking about Google Adwords, which is Google’s pay-per-click program by which one can bid on keywords and display their ads, which can be seen on the right side of Google’s search-results-page. History refers to the age of an account, and it plays a crucial role in minimizing cost and maximizing ROI.

Summery: In Google Adwords, it’s possible to create history!

Samsung R210. My first Cell-Phone.
It’s been more than 5 years.

The person, to whom I sold that phone, lost it after two days.
I should not have sold that phone.

It was beautiful, light and user-friendly.

I still miss my Samsung R210.

Meetings are where Minutes are noted and Hours are Lost………………

A Real Bad Day!

Everything was Wrong!
From the morning train commute to evening train journey of 4 hrs, which was due to some train problems.

Delayed meeting, eating like a dog to attend that meeting on time.

While returning home someone stole my wallet in the train. I always keep it in my bag, but this was the first time I kept it in the back-pocket of my jeans.

Lost my debit and credit cards, plus some money.

When I reached home I made a call to my bank to block those cards.

I checked my emails, found out my domain will expire tomorrow,
Was trying to transfer money online to renew the domain and hosting, found out that I can’t. This was due to the new security feature, when while transacting online I have to provide my password as well as a number combination from the grid placed on the backside of debit card.

Dosa with Pav-Bhajis Bhaji, It’s Different!

There was an item called Bhaji-Dosa in the Menu, and logically it would mean Dosa with Bhaji of Pav-Bhaji. Instead it was a normal Dosa with a very thin layer of Bhaji, similar to butter being applied on a slice of bread.

After finishing we realized, that it was somewhere near 1/3 of our daily Quota.

We then ordered both of them separately, which can be seen in the above image.
The combination was great and was really a Different Experience!

Beautiful Liar - Two Beautiful Females! One Beautiful Music-Video!

Awesome Music Video! After “Hips Don’t Lie” I got something to play for a month.

the shocking phone call!

A-week ago I got a shocking phone-call form my mother. One of the arowana jumped out of the tank. It was 10.30am; my father saw something moving in the bushes. And that was my arowana, I don’t know how or why, maybe due to natural instinct.

In the first image, those bushes can be seen clearly, they are approx. 6feet away from the tank.

Today I covered that tank with net.

Thank God, he Survived.
