Bridging the G A P ...

5th February 2010, close to 18 months since my last blog post. It would be unfair if I just directly start blogging without providing any “re-wind” of the 18 months.


18 months ago something changed in my life. This change was not of smaller proportions and transformed me from the non-earning to the earning cadre.

I was employed with Wipro Technologies in August 2008 and transferred to Bangalore. Lots of hope, expectations, challenges along with a heavy heart of leaving behind family and friends welcomed me to the IT Capital of India.

I will not blabber much about what has happened within Wipro. The sheer excitement if financial independency and making it on your own is more that one could have asked for.

My stay in Bangalore was close to 4 months and in these 4 months I was re-born, with added responsibilities and much more thoughtfulness.

Later somewhere around November I was moved back to Pune (what seemed to me as impossible back then). Much closer to home and all that I had spent living my entire life with, surely made my experience even better.

Life after coming to Pune has been a ride on the expressway (quite literally!), with constant shuttling between Mumbai and Pune over the weekend. Innumerable experiences have encompassed my life in Pune and blogging about them now will just lengthen this post. Each experience is a new blog post in its own.

I do not know why this post did not come up much earlier, but having penned it down I feel a heavy load has been lifted off me.

How do you send an email to heaven ...

"xyz Wishes loved ones in heaven could be contacted by mobile phone, email and skype. "  - This is one of the post I read on wall of my friend on Facebook.  I shrugged it off in the usual non-sensical comic style that I apply to every situation or moment I think would not be possible to handle normally. Only that a moment later I got an email from Birthday Alarm reminding me that "Send a Greeting Card to Subhash Chandra Saxena for their Birthday on Sunday July 3rd". They even promised me that "if I chose their specially designed B'day cards they would deliver it to Subhash Chandra Saxena". Only that they do not know that it is an delivery that no logistics in the world can ever deliver ! The thought re-occured to me and has been in the corner of my mind since then. How I wish I could send a greeting to my dad one last time, or probably order the "Worlds Greatest Dad" t-shirt  online and surprise him. Today as my mom pointed out earlier ...

A change from home ....

Life sure is a roller coaster ride. Filled with all ups and downs. Everything good is balanced by something bad and vice-versa. Lets just say that the year 2008 has been one such roller coaster ride for me. Lets cut to the chase and not go into the details now. For the past few weeks it was a real dull atmosphere at home. Each one of us had got really bored of the monotonous and repetitive schedule we were following. It was only last Friday night that an idea of family outing stuck chords in my mind. Saturday morning was sure gonna be a much awaited change at home. The day began a little early for me on Saturday morning. Got up at 9 instead of 10 :) . Asked my parents to get ready and prepare themselves for a day of fun and excitement. I was just wondering how all throughout the year we make plans and enjoy till the Everest of our lives ! But there are seldom any plans made with family. So Saturday morning, unlike the other days the monsoon clouds were too afraid to ruin my plans today...

Something Magical....

Just two days back I had my recent escapade on 26th of March 2010. I had taken two days off from work and wanted to spend quality time with mom and dad. We had been yearning to visit the Shirdi shrine for quite sometime now. It has become a yearly ritual where we drive down to Shirdi, seek blessings and pray for peace and happiness. We started our journey early in the morning around 6:45 AM. It was going to be a long journey, almost 250 kms each side. Since it was off-peak hours we managed to leave behing Mumbai and Thane in close to an hour and a half. Some things that had changed from the last time we drove down the Nasikh- Shirdi route were better roads, less traffic and a lot of modernization in the villages en-route. We managed to reach Nasikh in around 5-6 hrs with 2-3 stoppages in between. The ride from Nasikh to Shirdi was close to 2 hours. We reached Shirdi around 1 PM in the afternoon and a huge crowd and rising mercury welcomed us to the holy town. After check-in to a ho...
