You feed bet - I bleed sweat

Let’s analyze this… Why betting is considered to be fatal?
it actually wrecked my social routine life - See how it has begun?

Sports of any nature and of any format has been a global entertainment commodity among any segment of people of the world you pick…. Sports are live, true, surprise, unpredictable, fun… unlike a movie that you go with family with results already handy.

In sports, faking or making the results with a force, results into loosing its silvery charm with great amount of disappointment.... and do believe me that none of us wants to buy a piece of frustration with money and time which we don’t have in abundance… and if they realize that they did… imagine the post effect trauma and the anguish that they go through thinking about whole episode that just passed by.... finally they end-up making a lifelong decision as ‘to hell with it’…

Life of T…!

In 1999, I was first time father… naturally a proud one to my sweet little daughter…. An intent to keep my family small, I grew it by 2 more…By 2006 I was father of 3 and I intent to be rolling that way even further… but, I had to bow down before nature’s wish. My little sane daughter and 2 astutely behaved sons makes a picture perfect family….

Err… did I tell you about ‘T’… wait up… go back….a bit,

When my wife was carrying our second son the 3rd kid, I had to shop around for a non-biological son to be partnering with my elder impatient Son, who was just 1 then and did not want to wait for his biological brother to show up to the world. And finally we approached ‘Life is Good’ center where they were to sell well behaved boys supposedly. We picked the fairer and a good looking one named ‘T’, we also picked some parenting tips from the center owner on how to nurture kids from his lot.

Finally ‘T’  stepped into our life with much of happiness and above all he got a big wide smile on my 1 yr old son's face. My wife was truly happy and she hoped that she got a helping hand now…. Few days of T’s inception to the new family, everything went through right… but… when my new son had finally arrived bringing in loads of joy into the family, all of us were bloated with immense happiness, but sooner my house started appearing to be shrunked…. It was just a 2BHK and we needed some space to stretch arms…shuffling things around did not work.... and finally we all looked at ‘T’ sadistically and politely but with concealed profanity asked him, if he can shift to balcony hereon…. T was part of our family more than 6 months then who softly accepted the fact that he needs to make room to the new family member….

Monday Thru Friday

Good lord! Friday is here….. Friday never tasted this sweeter before (ever before)… Friday also brings in fear and a warning of arrival of Monday in just in 48 hours… Thought, I will sit and blog that my mind and soul has horrendously experienced last week…


So here it goes…. Tring.. tring.. tring.. The sooner my phone rings, my 2 little Sons whispers… “Hey dude, check out how dad gets mad…” other says… “P2 I guess!! and I wonder why eRoom goes down so often… Why can’t people get this stupid eRoom on a pulley, bring it up make it stay there”, How elemental thinking these little minds are on and yet make sense… I earn tons of learning from these brats….. Work is good but work over work is not only bad but worst for the future that you are depending upon, I read an article that world will have more bed ridden people than deaths in next 10-15 years… due to their melted spine or scuffed neck bones, you wanna be one …lol.

Recently, I have been to a nearby hospital adjacent to a tiny Physio therapy centre to get my BP checked and believe me guys… people were swarmed and waiting for their turn to get their part of heat-treatment and stretched… I am glad that I was not one of them, but very next second a chilled impulsive vibe ran through my nerves and compelled me to ponder upon…’What if, I was one of them….', again guys… I’m not inducing a scare in you…. But a word of caution does always come handy.

During last week I had taken my family to KFC for them to feel and breathe the fresh air with some smoky chicken strips... My wife insisted on this trip for a very sane reason that I will be away from that ugly laptop and she gets all my attention on her and kids… She started “Hey…Listen, kids are at the edge of their half yearly exams…?” I go… “Oh Yeah, I hear you talking to kids at home”… She utters further “Madiha’s maths getting tougher every day… I think you should pitch in now…” I slowly whispered irately not making very obvious to the surroundings…. “C’mon lady… you know… How occupied I’m with my meetings, escalations, Incidents etc…” and then begun of the most hated heated domestic affrays on the KFC table which was indeed hotter than spicy grilled chicken on the menu…

A broken email that revolutionized a million thoughts!

COMPLAINT LETTER TO THE RAILWAYS IN 1909!!!



Okhil Babu's letter to the Railway department:



I am arrive by passenger train Ahmedpur station and my belly is too much swelling with jackfruit. I am therefore went to privy. Just I doing the nuisance that guard making whistle blow for train to go off and I am running with lotaah in one hand and dhoti in the next when I am fall over and expose all my shocking to man and female women on platform. I am got leaved at Ahmedpur station. This too much bad, if passenger go to make dung that dam guard not wait train five minutes for him. I am therefore pray your honour to make big fine on that guard for public sake. Otherwise I am making big report to papers.



Okhil Chandra Sen wrote this letter to the Sahibganj divisional railway office in 1909. It is on display at the Railway Museum in New Delhi. It was also reproduced under the caption Travellers Tales in the Far Eastern Economic Review.



Any guesses why this letter is of historic value?



It led to the introduction of TOILETS in trains in India.....!!!!



So please don't think any idea is stupid and discard it. Always Speak up.

The Unforgotten Era- The School Chapter

Its odd of the odds that I am here writing this piece of experience. Who would know that I was standing in a shabby tea shop near the united church of nirmal nagar (Defence Colony) and taking sips of insipid tea with my old good friends just a few days back? And this is happening, I must say after over a decade… (Or may be close to 2). The torrid lives we had as part of our lives before ’86 are indeed unforgotten, they just fared into my life teaching me ‘nothing is bygone, surprises are yet to arrive’.


The life was a journey of agitations and contentions all through, nevertheless these happenings make your way to energize and fuel your soul to drive towards a felicitous life. This is NOT me, its my emotions that are emanating within me. I may be overreacting with the situation I was/am into, I am sure, majority of folks that I am known to would share the same feelings… for others I will just tag them as ‘inhumane’.

We with White shirt and Navy blue short are the days that I want to plunge into and live to the maximum magnitude…yet again (can I? may be..Lets try!!).

SBI- No more a Sleeping Elephant!

Someone said SBI is a sleeping elephant ignores the customer touch in the market... I have also heard some utterance like this "Hey, buddy if you wanna be happy after you buy home... DON’T GO FOR SBI", "SBI bank forget it... I am not going there, I will 'age out' so much standing in lines", "Good lord, the best thing about SBI is that these people really test our patience to the core".... Well... These lines looked so real and matured until I have experienced 4 things... Well, I forgot to tell my location... Its Bangalore:

1. The aggressive hoardings and shrewd advertisements on TV and paper lately

2. Mr. Hanumanth- AGM

3. Mr Ravi Shankar- SBI, Manager Home Loan Dept

4. OP Bhatt - I have heard about him

My whole perception took an upside down switch and looked like SBI is silently and serenely saying... Watch It! We are coming back!

My Dad and my Dad's Dad used to murmer about banking those days when I used to hardly understand the word Bank... but I know they 'did' used to utter SBI quite many times in their financial conversations... Are we ready to witness the history? Since SBI looks to be the future bank for all.... Are we going back to Future? May be... Lets watch and see!!

Whoever is behind the wheel of SBI mobility towards the future... I would urge him/them to give it little more push and they will be there on the finishing mark.... While I don’t have to wait for my kids to talk good about it, rather I want to be in the era of SBI reigned market where I am speaking positive about SBI to others. I believe the day is NOT far when SBI gets every nook and corner to benefit rich and poor.

Keep up the good work... We are behind you.
