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 in the day, my dad would have become a Sr Citizen . He sure would have enjoyed the extra Interest rates on his investments :).

Its been close to 7 months now that he has gone away and each month there are millions of things added that I would have wished to share with him. We may be moving ahead with times but there are certain things that we may never be able progress on.

So if you need to send out any pending email , or perhaps order anything then do it now , say it now , because Gmail ,Facebook and Skype do not have connectivity in heaven ....

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 ...

The Tougher Right , or The Easier Wrong ?

I read this quotation somewhere. I guess it was inculcated to us during our tenure as NCC Cadets. " Oh God! Please give me courage to do the harder right , than the easier wrong " This year has been full of surprises. It has actually brought out a revolutionary in me who always opted to make things correct. Some where hidden within each one of us is this revolutionary spirit. A person who tries to bring about a change in this world. But quite often this inner voice gets dampened by other worldly issues. But then , there is also a limit to everything. A time comes when you just cant take it anymore. The year 2008 started off with some of us realizing the deteriorating conditions at the MSc IT course. All through our course we were being taken for a ride. The utter mismanagement of the course and the lack of determination and professionalism on part of some of the professors is altogether another blog post. It was due to such pathetic conditions that some of us decided to voic...

We are at War !

I often believe that each one of us is an accumulation of multiple split personalities. Quite often one personality overshadows the others. I have a patriotic inclination from my very early childhood. Anything remotely targeted against India just enrages the Indian within me. At the other hand I am also totally supportive of world peace and harmony. The reason for this particular blog post is that the patriotic Indian within me has been enraged in the past few weeks, owing to what is happening around me. It was just a few days back that War was declared against us. I may not be correct, but these are my views which when collaborated together will enrage that Indian in each one of us. Lets rewind a little. Around 1-2 weeks back there was a serious political unrest in India. The state of the government was under scrutiny and the future leadership of India was in a dilemma. Again we all knew what happened, the utter nuisance in the parliament was broadcast around the world. India had be...
