Happy B'day Maa... Happy Fathers Day Papa!!!!!

It was my mom's b'day and I was here to attend it after 3 years. My heartiest wishes & love for my dearest mom, one of the greatest person I know on this earth & admire the most. I think moms may be the best person for most of the kids in there life (until they grow up & other best half comes in, i guess u know what i mean. & the the holy fight of power/hold begins, lol!!). However my mom is really a great person... so much patience, love, caring, bearing and so much more. It's not easy to be even related/known to me, just imagine being my mom; I am not sure if even I could take it myself. But she has not just taken it, but done a great job of it. Thanks a lot Maa, for being my Maa... Happy Birthday!!

Yesterday was Fathers Day... I actually did not greet or give Fathers Day wishes to my Dad, but want to say something (have said so much for maa, how could i dare to leave Dad now). He is one of the coolest person & coolest dad I guess. My friends used to be scared of him when I was a kid; few thought he was very strict/harsh & others thought he was just too chatty, lol. My dad is kinda extremist, he has loved & cared for me extremely & could have been angry or mad at me at extremes too. But all of that has moulded me into whatever I am today, and I do think I am great... umm greatest... ahh better than the best!! Thanks a lot Dad & Happy Fathers Day!!

dad is back home from hospital

As you might know that my dad was hospitalised after the accident; he's back home now and resting & recovering. Hopefully he'll get better soon, thank god!! I am thankful that my friends Sheshadri, Praveen & Jaswinder were there for help & support, that's what real friends are for... Things have not been going great for me lately, this was one more addition to it and was really a severe one. This was the worst till now and I pray & hope this would be last, I wish the good & great times are there for us further now... AMEN!!!

I have been very busy & tired since a week. I could not sleep all last weekend as I was at the hospital. And the week has been busy again with some tension & lots of TRM Training at work. I was actually falling off my seat during training session on Monday, partially because of tiredness & rest because of the boring session. Its not a new thing for me to sleep during classes, I used to do it a lot in college even sitting in the first row. I am a test to know how interesting a class is, it takes a lot to keep me awake during any session and if I am up it means its good. Like some of the TRM sessions I have been attending where I hardly slept (it gets really hard to sleep on the uncomfortable office chairs).

Lots of dad's friends & others are coming to see him now. Visitors who come to see someone who's/was not well is a very critical issue, I mean if people don't come its like you don't have any real friends or well wishers & if you do have many visitors then it means pain again. Keep on explaining them the same story of how & what happened (dad should refer them to my blog & ask them to leave there comments there, lol) and listen to same usual sympathy stuff and there past experiences. And on top of that my mom does the usual khaatirdari (sweets & then tea/coffee with snacks etc) stuff with guests even on these occasions, which she feels is her responsibility but I find ridiculous & painful in these times.

I watched Dilli-6 and it was not bad but weird, like me I guess. The movie was not as catching & stunning as Rang De Basanti or even Aks at all, but tried to make a point of its own. The performances were nice but the storyline & direction+editing was not as crisp. The Dilli they showed looked nice but movie should be named Purani (old) Dilli because all they showed was Old Delhi & that's not really how our Dili & Dillwalas (Delhites) are... Alright boys n girls and dear friends, that's it for now. Please keep blogging & keep reading my blogs (do COMMENT to let me know of your views too). And hey, click if you wanna know about Crisis Credit . This is RAHUL again saying, Good Bye & Good Luck... JAI HO!!!!!

Second Time...

I guess I am just too easy at selecting headings, writing whatever I feel like. Or may be I am too mathematical, first second, third… nth, lol. But my friends who know me well, they know how distant I am from math; it has always been the scariest monster to me unless its math related to the money or the girls (see, sometimes I do speak truth!!).

But what do I mean by second time… It’s the second time I am writing my blog (I mean I am writing my second blog here). But do you know what… there is another important second time for me here. It’s the second time I am in US; I mean I am in US again from May 25, 2008. I just came back from US to India after 1 year in April end, and with in a month I got a call to go back to US. Sounds great eh… not to everyone though.

My parents are not very happy, I think. All the parent’s are like that I guess, they love there kids so much, always. I don’t know from where, but there heart is filled with love and affection for there children. My parents love me a lot, just a lot and of course I love them a lot too. Although I love them most in the whole world, but I can’t ever be sure if I can ever love her as much as they love me. That’s the kind of love parents have. My mom was still getting as sad & emotional at the airport, as she was the first time I left last year. So few things remain the same even the second time it seems (Atlast this paragraph got over; I was feeling like going through a Karan Johar script, too emotional... huh!!!).

Anyways… this time I am in Kansas City, in Kansas. It’s a city/state at the centre of US. Flight to here was very-very long. 9 hrs flight form India to London, then after 4 hrs stay in London Airport 8 hrs flight to Chicago and 3 hour stay at Chicago airport 1.5 hrs flight to Kannas. I was mostly sleeping or watching movies (I saw ‘Bombay to Bangkok’ which was pretty nice & Jumper which was okay). And yeah, the 4 hour wait at London made me poorer with $200, I bought a Ray-Ban sunglasses. My passion with glasses is taking its toll it seems, why do they have these beautiful but expensive ‘duty-free’ shops at the airport… huh!! (trust me, I m not really happy for this purchase of mine… the girl at Sunglass Hut robbed me. Yeah you are right; I also guess it all happened because of that pretty salesgirl... girl math screwed my money math!!!)

British Airways service is always decent, the food the seats, all seem nice to me; apart from the fact that they have some stupid baggage restrictions (yeah, they were questioning my little big hand-baggage, why should they question when I am carrying my bag in my hand... lol. I mean as long as I can lift it and fit it in the overhead bin they shouldn't be giving me eyes). The experience with Korean Airlines last time was also nice, they have an amazing selection of entertainment where you can select the movies you like and play them when you want; unlike BA where you only have to watch what they play. But the food was terrible, I mean all they were serving was just beef & pork, no other non-veg or veg option… just ridiculous!!

I reached in Kansas City and collected my bags, to find out that TSA (Transport Security Administration of USA) did an open check on both my checked in bags which were transferred to AA from BA in Chicago. I appreciate the security concerns but you are not supposed to damage my baggage or luggage. They tore one of the bags and disarrayed the stuff inside causing damage to my luggage too. I hate that, so irresponsible & stupid (I thought of complaining but haven’t done it yet. You always should). But anyways, I collected my luggage in KC and took a cab to my hotel.

Anyways, this was more like a diary entry… nothing interesting, huh!! Sometimes, the second time may not be as good as first time. So wait for the next time, I’ll try to write more soon (like everyone is just waiting for me to write something, haha!!). Until then keep blogging & keep reading my blogs. This is RAHUL again saying, Good Bye & Good Luck!!!
