2012-01-29T15:18:00.000+05:30

It all glorious and it all adventurous for me to be on the 8 days long Himalayan trekking , through the dense altitude forest covers. Slowly and slowly, I fell in love with this part of the World, which has given me a lot of lot of learning about the Nature, the human endurance, the perfect climate for life. The Stars at the Top of those mountains are so brilliant bright with the Clear Sky and Yes loving Himalayas is so Romantic , that its infectious. The Landscape is stunning , if you can feel the Aroma , the Cold breeze crossing cheeks with the Coffey Sip, is the best way to experience these Images/Photos Below.

BOL Movie : A Must Watch it Yaar!

2012-01-17T23:56:00.000+05:30

Watching a Movie on your small netbook, that too in the peak business hours is too drastic step. But the two and half hours of watching a movie like "BOL" is too dramatic and lets you in the story. "BOL" is a Pakistani Movie released last year in July and got real Box office hit in India and Pakistan. Directed very well by Sohaib Mansoor.

The film stars Humaima Malik,[2] Atif Aslam, Mahira Khan, Iman Ali, Shafqat Cheema, Manzar Sehbai, Zaib Rehman and Amr Kashmiri in the lead roles. There was heavy scepticism about whether or not Atif Aslam would be able to meet the requirements of his role when he was first announced as the lead

Dont miss this amazing peice of Story telling with the social drama in Pakistan.

A Close Encounter with Nature ! Copperhead Cobra Snake

2011-01-30T19:28:00.003+05:30

It the early morning and the kitchen is as usual being washed up for the Sunday breakfast . My younger brother spotted a sudden hissssssssss hiisss while picking the Maggie packet from the kitchen racks. With in a second , to his surprise he spotted a snake with the dangerous alarming Hissssssss. Quickly he act with a available utensils to make that snake realize the fact that its the kitchen for our Maggie Breakfast , and you are not invited.

Well the Snake was too smart to react and within a sudden vanished out from the place , where it was spotted. The very moment, the fear of seeing a snake and not knowing in which part of the small kitchen its now, is banging the reactions to take next. With in a while my Cousin who come fast to pair with my brother and started searching for the invisible . After they tried hard for atleash an hour , they saw a small hole in the corner of kitchen , and with the clear conclusion that the snake went into the small hole they just packed it up with little brick.

On the whole drama , I get aware , when I saw Chinu , unusually out of Kitchen and on my request for the breakfast , got this snaky news. Its really fascinated me for a second and when I asked Jishu , he told it might be a king cobra , he saw his attacking and dangerous pose. While its hard to believe , for the mere fact of there extinction with human interference , like that we had on the Indian Tigers.

Simply I get an intuition to make an effort to save this snake, but how? Whole area was buzzing with people getting prepared to beat the Snake to death by dragging him out of its temporary den. Its really hurt to see people making such bold attitude for these hostile animal. With in half an hour i come of with two constructive things . One , distract people on the matter, two to make a way out for the Snake. First I created the small snake capturing bag , while remembering on the National Geography and Animal Planet snake encounters, and much to my own surprise I buil a fairly good one. (Thanks Animal Planet and Nat Geo). People around me were seeing the making of this and believe me I was really frightened to be delegating something I never did in my whole life. Its the first intuition and the passion to save a life that's is on this creativity.

Next is the most difficult and the reality show part . With two more kids Baliya, Raja and Kalia( Age between 16 -19 as they are more interested in the whole episode as they were just mummering Nat Geo Snake encounters with each other and , here they have a chance to witness the real drama.) I went on to the encounter.

With dangerous and thrilling sequence , It took us nearly 50 minutes to get the Snake Out of the hide, and that is a big snake and its the King Cobra, But we didn't get hold of the snake into the bag ment for catch, meanwhile all the kids ran into the far safe place while all the people shouting with "hey its not going to get into the bag" its sounding dangerous and I was literally trembling without getting anyone near me with one hand keeping the bag towards the Cobras, Dynamic Shifts and flashing the torch on the other. Its get intence in the whole kitchen , that both of us were in there own mode, The King is showing the power while I was strugling to catch him wit to and fro attempt, avoiding the sudden attacks , and luckily I saved myself twice, within those near end encounter , resulted in I captured the snake on my handmade catch bag with a snap tight of the rope . even after the catch I was literally trembling with something I can say the fear. (ashamed though i finally cached it up).

The next I did is get my camera and asked my cousin to drove to the Kathajodi river where we can release the Snake and get some snaps in the open . There is a small video for the snake release and than I tried the attempts to make the closest snaps I can take. Finally its over and I took some of the snaps , which confirms it is the King Cobra, before it vanishes into the bushes making me more than happy and a smile i can see on one of the close up snaps. Might be the King Cobra captured my face as in the books of Indian mythology. Whatever it feel its the best that I encounter with Life. I will always cherish this moment of saying adieu and will remember my whole life.
I was in relief , And truth is I love what i did and on my return its a feeling that is great , feeling very Lite, relaxed after a 4 hour ordeal, and mummer " kisiki muskurahatho pey ho nisaar .... kisi ka dard ley sake tau ley udhar... Jeena isi ka naam hai."

Take Care...

2010-07-04T20:49:00.002+05:30

Its the second time petrol hike by the Govt. of India which led to the opposition into a call for the nationwide strike, for reconsideration. The logic is very simple , there is a boost in consumption of petrol and diesel, and there is a regular reduction of the crude oil, the Subsidy on petroleum is illogical.

In Niali most of the shops were closed and I got a good chance to snap some of those standing silent shopping structures. Below are some of those pictures of Niali Bazaar with the famous Niali Haata ( the Weekly Shopping Fare).

One of the most Picturesque trek is the trek our Fourth day treak from Zirmi to Tila Lotni. This is the trek where our total trekking team squeezed to just 24 out of 57. Those who left the trek , were frightened by the notorious and dangerous experience of the last day.

As we left the Zirmi Camp, we were very sorry for our friends who were with us for the last 5 days in our trek and we are just making them a Good bye gesture. Well it seems All is Well , and we set our foot strong for the next 6 hours of trek.
After Climbing nearly 2 km we were into the lush Flower valley , and can were in the middle of the Snow packed Himalayan mountains.

We took deep breath and thank God for being so kind to us, To make us feel better and better with each step, to be more stronger in each of the stiff climb, To be at the Valley of Flowers and enjoying its beauty , and that we remember these days through out our life time.

Adorable and smart with his path finder nose, we follow his footsteps till we reach the LUNCH POINT. Already the rains are everywhere , with cold breeze , making all the body wet , even with the rain sheet.

After waiting for nearly 3 hours , we set out for the last pahse of trek to Zirmi camp , and this is were the story starts and ends in a very thrilling, furious and dangerous hits. Many of us , struggle for there life of the way , while making all there efforts to save themselves from the sliding mud in the rain. One loose step ....makes many to loose there life.

Himalayan Trek- Faul pani camp 9500 ft

The second camp was at the height of 9500 ft, named as Faul pani. unlike open space of
Gauna pani camp the camp site here at faul pani is within the deep forest cover and the tents were erected on the stepwise mountain soil, covered with decomposed forest leaves.
This camp site is little bit un standard one, as it does not provide open space for roam , to get a hot cup of tea , you have to climb a little and than descend to the tent. Most of the time we were into our tents , under the sleeping bags , singing old kishore kumar songs....

They pose very well for the , Photographs and yes they are very beautiful. Well some of my unmarried friends do want to make there move !!! .. No matrimony ...just the Gaon ki Gauri.

The Lush green valley of Shill Village on he way to the Gauna pane Camp.

The Moment we reach our first camp at Gauna Pani, Rain shower starts and the climate changes sudden dark with the chilling cold breeze. We took our part of hot cup of Tea and rush to the Tents with Blankets and Sleeping Bags.

Though the rains make some of our tents unmanageable, we took the initiative to drain out the excess water in the tent , with the help of Coffe mugs. Thankfully to Sankalp, Varun, Yatin and Mr Mogambo.

Drying Shoes on the edge of the tents at Gauna Pani Camp. The Himalayan Peaks covered with Snow are making us more tempting. Himalaya Calling .......... Come fast come fast .. dont be Slow....

The Satelite - Help us to Explore more Routes

2010-04-12T20:49:00.000+05:30

AS per our Nandan Kanan Zoological Park , Biking trip last time I forget to mention the tools we had used to mark our spots and the routes precisely with the help of Euro sat , Google earth. A detail analysis of these three images from the outer space, makes us thinking the best utility in the terrains.

ROUTE 1 : The Longest One Route 2 : Saves 3.2 Kms

Route 3 : The Shortest One

So we done with the three routes , enjoying each bit of it. The 3rd image was the tred setter for our biking rides, as it shows that we traced the best and shortest possible route out of the three we explored that day. We save 9.3 km in the 3rd route ( through two river crossing).

Nandan Kanan Zoo Revisit - Orissa Tourism

2010-04-07T09:15:00.006+05:30

More than 40 years ego , deep in the jungles of Orissa, a concrete wall,fence started to built up for the most beautiful and the best ecologically balanced zoological park that India has ever seen. Nandan Kanan was created with the wilderness , smuggled by the forest cover in some parts, giving it a unique natural existence. The View of Botanical Garden Lake , resembeles that of Alleppy in Kerala.

The Beauty of the lake is incomparable to any lakes in Asia, though small in size , but the vast landscape with the botanical garden makes it a clean place to sit hours. The team consist of 6 and we all enjoyed Biking , with the long Clean now a days Indian Roads, to the Jungle, to the River, to the zoological park.

We had our time, enjoying the lake water and its scenic view before entering the Nandan Kanan Zoo. The Tickets for the elder ones are Rs 20 and for the Children below 5 years is Rs 5 only. On our way we had our breakfast at Trishulia Chaka ( the Trishulia Square). My favorite Poori and Dum Aalu, Some of us had there IDLY - Wada mix with the Curry.
The Entrance gate of Nandan Kanan zoological Park is the best designed in any of the zoological park exist in India.

Relaxed a while at the Zoological park , Mango tree shed area, with the relaxing Pose, thanks to Photography by Ranji.

Nandan Kanan in Orissa is a must see Zoological and Botanical park in India, with its Lush greenery flora and the enchanting clean water lake. The Lake separates the Zoological park from the Botanical Garden. The Toy train journey also enchants us with its small and yet beutiful surrounding ( Ticket cost Rs 10 per person only).

After the Zoo view , we had our Lunch and rest at the Botanical garden area, before we reach the Barang Station(the Station near Nandan Kaanan). The cool breeze from the vast open greens are pinching our cheeks , while we are amazedily watching the View from the Station top.
On our Way back , We choose the 2nd route as we decided from the satelite maps , with the help of google earth. This route has a riverside road and a fearry pass through the river water to the other side.

Our Bicycles on the Ferry boat, waiting to flow with the heavy winds and water waves, can be seen from the above picture. The Route from Nandan Kanan to the Village in the third phase, was changed and we set out for the khatjodi river walk through. This means we had to cross the waters at its lowest depths, and to trace that we need to be fast , before its get dark. And fortunetely we did it and crossed the river , with the help of the Local grass grager folk, in its 70's age(you can see the person in the image below , with its Grass Pack, over his head)

Finally when we reach this side of the river , we are just so relaxed and thanks all to the successful adventure, on our HERO Ranger, BSA SLR and AVON Cycles. We sat on the sand till 9.30 pm in Night , before hading to our final phase of Journey(Just 1 km from home).

Lord Jaganath in Many Forms

2010-03-31T11:32:00.004+05:30

Yesterday I got the sms from Avinash, on the well being of the Earthquake which was just happened. But I was totally unaware of that , until I get the news feeds from Google. Though I didnot felt its Impact, Some of the guys at TECHYOG did told me its Shakes in the night.Like we do dress ourselves with new and regular garments, the Lord Jaganatha (Lord Vishnu in the Form of Jaganatha in Orissa state), do the same. Well the dress , in which Lord Jaganath were decorated is in very many forms like the Nagarjuna Bhesaha and the Suna Bhesa. There are all 32 dress styles in which Lord Jaganatha make there presence through out the Hindu Calender year.Today is the last day of Lord Jaganatha Celebration in the form of all the idols in different dress. Had snapped all of the bhesa(The Ancient dress style). The Decoration of the IDOLS were very unique and really splendid. The Yagya Kunda Temple , created with bamboos, Straw and the colorful cloth pieces are brilliantly designed. Its some form of stepping architecture made , with a fine view and open air surrounding.

Thanks to Sesadev for giving me the Festivals information in a very time and even taken me to the Balijatra Padia , just beside the BARABATI STADIUM CUTTACK, were the IPL 20 20 maches were played last week.

At Niali for this years 2nd visit

2010-03-28T19:30:00.006+05:30

Was at Niali, my In-laws place for the 2nd casual visit. Today visited the newly discovered old village of Jayadev Pitha. Its the place were I was astonish to find out on my way , when I discovered a newly constructed small bridge, connecting the main road to the Ancient site.

Myself , Rinku and Chinmayee went to have a look around and get carried away by its florished and yet to be discovered peaceful gardens, by the Orissa tourist. Though the Govt of Orisa , under the guidance of CM Naveen Pattnaik is making there best efforts on restoring the ancient architecture and the sacred place, the People who are conserving it were seems reluctant to make it happen or bored by nothing.

while I am writing this post , I was served by Rinku's friend, the best aromatic Coffey in the Cyber cafe. Honestly this is the most avoiding part for me. Some how its the hospitality you get in the inlaws area....but its really something uncomfortable.

So I will put an end to the post here and will update day after tomorrow when i return back home.

Mud Slide Wall View

2010-03-24T07:21:00.003+05:30

On the onset of Monsoon, the Rivers were full of huge and huge volumes of water with rushing out each inches of mud. And in that cross over a very decent pattern comes out of the river walls , after it dries out in Summer.

" Are OO Sambha ... Kitna Inaam Rakhe hain Sarkar Hum pe "

The view was splendid when the realization of the fact that this is the height that the Water flows fast and whoever gets a slip ....no chances of survival( Last year two of my village Kids fell down and never get up)

Kathajodi River Biking and hiking

2010-03-23T11:38:00.001+05:30

The Repairing work for the Maliya bandha is on its way, so that before the Floods (Mostly in July) , the River basin get the concrete walls. 55000 People live in Bayalish Mauja, the Island of 42 villages as it was called. Our Village Kadampara is the hardest hit from the Floods in Monsoon.

As the TECHYOG office closes at arround 9.30 am we set out for a biking to see the work on the River wall, with the bicycle ride towards , one of the most enchanting rivers of all time - The Kathajodi. The same river makes a terrific record for being very harsh in the monsoon ( last year two youngster met with death in the river), but its one of the lively river to be watched, observe on its banks and feel the tranquil silence of water flowing through.

Observing the thin steam of river water in this hot summer morning , through out the day is really worth it. I feel the best of inner self looking throgh the long steatch of dry river with the thin layer of water flowing in peace, Village farmers rowing beside its muddy water to get the best aromatic rice crop by the start of monsoon.

AT LAST VODAFONE DONE IT

2010-03-18T18:50:00.004+05:30

On my previous Post I had wrote my bad experience with the Vodafone Customer Care and sent the complain to the higher Authorities one day back and now the matter is been solved with a valid reason to share.

The reason, as told by the correspondent from Vodafone, that there was a problem with the BSNL service that Vodafone shares.

Well the matter got solved and I can get in touch with the Ladhak now. Thanks again to those who Make Vodafone Proud.

Still some of the Doubts remain:

What steps does the Vodafone Executive had taken to avoid such practices in future :

1. The Customer care (Who Fakes the Service - Said it was solved on there log book)
2. The indecent behavior by the Supervisor(in Customer Care) - to Cut off the Phone call with frustration .
3. Why should a Person Wait for 12-15 days for a simple Problem , that finaly solved in a day. Should the Vodafone Customer care system need upgradation???

Looking Forward for the Answers and Thanks again to All those Vodafone People who dare to solve it.

Vodafone Worst Customer Service [Complain no 25326658] : A Personal Experience 11 days went witout any Solution:

2010-03-16T14:44:00.004+05:30

[Complain no 25326658]

I was in a great lead of passion that I was a associated as a customer to the Worlds leading Mobile Network Vodafone. The brand itself makes the faith and belief in quality.

Problem : I was not able to call Ladhak numbers (STD code : 01982)
Complained on 6th of March:
SOLUTION : No Call back yet and without any Trace.
CUSTOMER CARE : Pathetic. People doesn't have any Idea on the matter and there concerned departments never get back with solution. If you had chance to have a talk with the Supervision its even worst , as they doesn't even know the best practices in corporate world: they just get frustrated and just cut out the Customer Complain Phone and will ban you from calling again from the same Cellphone ....Really really Pathetic. (How does the VOdofone hire these maniacs ???)

But I was surprised with the customer service of its in India. The thing of beauty is not forever as my last experience. I was been a victim of bad Corporate ethics, the worst customer call center people to talk and still the worst promise.

For a small problem of mine that I was not able to call the numbers in Ladhak Region(01982 STD code) from my cell in Orissa, I got lots of wired reasons like you can change the handset, You can wait for 24 hours, Please check the SIM card, from the so call customer helping people of VODAfone. And still looking for a solution at my end and no one ever from Vodafone confirm me of the solution , even get back to me saying ...here is the solution for this.(Surprisingly I did all with nothing result)

Lastly the People at to whom I had talked (198), (can see the Logs of the Conversation of the Recorded materials on my several complains)) were completely unaware of the solution and just making brilliant excuses.

I was been said that by 15th march , the solution will be provided but still now no callback is done and Still the Problem continues.

When I call them today at 198 they doesn't have any report to tell me what was the status of my Complain.

REMEMBER : this is my 12 time Complain to a World No 1 Company and still I didn't got any Solution , no Call Backs even after pathetic 11 days.

CONCLUSION : VOdafone seems no Interest in its Customers , its just making billion dollar Advertisements. Will be changing My Service to other like AIRTEL, Reliance or BSNL.

They(Vodafone Customer Care) just make Fake entries to there Log mentioning the Problem was solved and the Solution was delivered. And here I challenged the Authentication of them that they didn't concern the Customers solution they do it intensively for there own LOG book Maintenance.

These are the Final Authorities that I sent the Mail Today : Hope to see final Solution :

Return Trip Gopalpur on Sea Orissa

2010-02-28T15:53:00.002+05:30

After enjoying the Gopalpur on Sea, with the Panthanivas and Youth hostel Accommodation, the night fall sea breeze we set out our return trip , now through the visit to the Berhampur Town. Idly

Had a double breakfast trhis time. AS I am avid foodie on travel, I love to taste the different varieties of snacks , specially the local favorite ones. So in Gopalpur we took Idly and Puri mixed with the Aloo-mutter Curry and South Chuttney. From Gopalpur ,we travell to the Berhampur City and enjoyed the Wada, Puri, Sambar Chattni before getting back to our return journey.

Luckily on the way we experienced the DOLA Jatra Utsav in a Village , which is really enjoying and met some of the local actors who were giving there best performances in the Village Streets.

This is the Village in Berhampur, the same place were the Famous Prince Dance Group emerged with there Award winning Performance. From the Local Festivals and there dedication We realized the fact that there is something special in these people , which makes them a real Actor from scratch. Just See some of the snaps .

We decide to have our Lunch at the Bira Dhabba (Which is a famous one for the Truck Drivers on the South East Roadways - the National Highway no 5 connecting Kolkatta and Vishakapatnam.).

Bira Dhabba is famous for its owner , the group of 4 brothers who manage the Dhabba(Resting and Fooding Place in Indian Highways), they have atleast 10-15 sindhi Cows for there Milk and Paneer Recipies.

On Our Way We set out Interior for the Elephant Trail in the Jungle which causes many Deaths and Crop Loss in recent times. We even get a rare stay of 30 minutes at one of the Elephant Watch House set up by the Neearby tribes.

On the Way We took a long 2 hours Clear air, Under the Banyan tree Sleep at the Rambha Chilika View . The Tree is one of my Favorite to take rest as this was my Second trip to the places, Earlier it was in November 2008 with the techyog Team.

Trully the sleep after a heavy Meals , under the tree is worth experiencing , in case of you are well known to the place, as there was the risk of anonymous local people banging on you, This time we asked one of the Fishermen of the Chillika, and he sat just beside us under the tree, and we took the 2 hour long sleep without the tension of our backpacks.

At 4pm we set put for the next leg of our journey and Crossed the Mountain Streak Cruves just above the Chillika Lake.

From this poiint Chilika is breathtaking , just you have to careful of the heavey Trucks plying through it.

Gopalpur on Sea Orissa Tour on Bike

2010-02-27T14:07:00.002+05:30

Driving the NH5 with the cool breeze in the early morning, amid sleek layer of Fog on the Bike is one of the best way to explore , your destination place in India. As per the statistics the Indian Roadways are 85% complete with the standard roads, the villages in the interior India is also well connected with the Prime Minister Sadak Yojna Roads.

On the way from Cuttack to Gopalpur on Sea we passed many of the tourist attraction places like Barkul and Rambha on the Shores of Chillika Lake. Crossing Chillika Lake rim with the picturesque scenic beauty of lush green mountains is memorable one.

We had our stop overs in regular intervals to make us comfortable. Stopovers were ment to have water and food that we carry. Someone who is an avid bike traveller , must have known the relaxing moments when having the water splash on the face after a long drive and a cool breeze from the mountains, touches the just washed face in the glaring sun. We do had the same experience on the whole trip, enjoying every single turn of the snaky new National Highway, passing by the Trucks and Lorries that carry Food and essential commodities through out India.

The first Impression on the arrival at Gopalpur on Sea beach area is splendid for the very reason of our trip. A small gateway at the Sea " Swarga Dwar" the Gate to the Heavens is one of the architecture you first see on reach.

As it was noon and we are looking for the foods before the place to stay. Though we looked out for some of the hotels facing the beach but found out the most of theme were occupied and those we were heard of from the websites and Google searches were not to the mark. As per the example the Hotel kalinga is charging about Rs 550 to 1100 rs for double occupancy , but the rooms were too stinging with the smell of the human waste , coming from the outside , just in front of the sea beach. So we decided to have the accommodation at the Panthanivas.

Panthanivas at Gopalpur on Sea is beautifully located, huge open space to roam , Flowers and bushes to enjoy the evenings. But we didnt find any room vaccant for us. So we took our much awaited, Stomach crunching Lunch at Panthanivas resturant (Rice, Curd, Chilli Paneer, Dal Fry, green Salad ) .

Just beside the Panthanivas is the Youth Hostel with a great building architecture and We had our stay confirmed with a nominal fees of Rs 100 ((Rs 50 /bed) . The Hostel is governed by the very Disciplined Mr Panigrahi, who is very Cooperative and helpful.

The Dormoratory , we took for our stay is well furnished with Bathroom, Wash Basin, Miror and Latrine. The Sound of See and the cool breeze from it can be enjoyed by opening the Sea Facing balcony Door. From the whole Gopalpur area that we experinced, I would recoment the stay at Panthanivas and Youth hostel as the best , for its Location and service.

Snacks in the Evening : Vegetable Roll and Paneer Pakoda with Sauce.

Dinner : Sweet Corn Soup at Swosti Palm Resort
: Roti, Paneer Butter Masala at Panthanivas Resturant.

DONT'S at Gopalpur at Sea.

Do not Walk on the beach : Human waste and its stinging smell make you feel bad.
Do not stay at hotels with beach facing : Reson same as above

My Village in Fog : Nature at its Best

2010-02-21T08:46:00.000+05:30

Splendid is the word that make sense to the Mystic Fog, covering the trees, roads in my Village. At this time of the season when the spring is on its way, the Mango Trees were full of mango siblings, ready to pop out, the dense fog makes a beauty in itself.

Some of the snaps I had takenin the early morning, on my way from home to TECHYOG , in my village Kadampada is worth to imagine the beauty. I am in love with the whole atmosphere and the aroma there in. The hindi song in the voice of Kishore Kumar " Pal Pal Dil ke Paas tum Reheti hoo....Main Saans leta hoon... teri Khooosboo aati hai ...Ek meheka meheka saa .." is just the best way to describe it.Quietly oveserving the calm waters of Kathajodi river flowing playfully, teasingly without a single mingle sound, Small dry leaves drifting slowly with the stream, a complete fog over it and you suddenly realize you are so lite , you are so relaxed that you are so wonderful to be with life.

City Of Joy and Hirakud Dam - Techyog Team Trip

2009-12-19T23:48:00.006+05:30

Set Out on Our Journey to Kolkata and Sambalpur Hirakud Dam On the night of 15th Dec 2009, from Cuttack Railway Station. As this was the Planned Trip We had booked the train travel ticket for the three part journey.

Part 1 . Cuttack to Howrah in Puri Howrah Special Express.
Part 2 : Howrah to Sambalpur in Samaleswari Express
Part 3 : Sambalpur to Cuttack in Raipur - Bhubaneswar Express.

The Trip went well and as planned. The Best Part of Our Planning was to save lot of Traveling Time, so I planned accordingly, by making all the Journey in the Nights. Which means the traveling was done in the Sleeping Hours of Night and we reach the destination early morning . So that we got at least of 10 - 12 hours of whole day for sight seeing.

For Kolkata We had to make two things sure. One is to enjoy the Kolkata as it is by traveling through the most convenient way and to use all mode of communication like Local Train, Mini Bus, Kolkata Metro Train, Ferries or the Hoogly river boats and some Walk down the Streets. The Other thing to keep in mind while traveling is to visit the best Places out of the Crowds. So as the Plan goes with the BELUR MATH( Swami Vivekananda Place), Kashipur Ghat , Dakhineswar Temple, Esplanade Area, Victoria Memorial, Vidyasagar Setu and Of-course Howrah Bridge.

On our boating trip from Kashipur Ghat of Belur Math to Dakhineswar Temple, Met a very Nice Person from Poland names Lucek and his Wife. So I asked him to Visit the State of Odisha (Previously called Orissa)

At Sambalpur We visited Hiarkud Dam from Hirakud Station . We hired a Auto Rickshaw for Rs 450/= For a trip from Hirakud station to The Hirakud Dam 61 Water Gate View and Gandhi Minaar. The View from Gandhi Minaar is astonishing as some part of the 35 Km long Dam en-closer is seen with the Dam Reservoir water stretching to 100 of miles radius. The Hirakud Dam view is breath taking.

Balijatra Cuttack 2009 - Orissa

2009-11-14T17:50:00.005+05:30

Over the past several months I was wandering through the cultural diversity of Indian subcontinent. From the inauguration ceremony of Gopals home at Taddepalligudem, than a Visit to Abhirams Naval Base at Vishakapatam to the Balijatra Trade fare and Cultural exchange in Cuttack.

Recently Concluded Balijatra 2009 at Cuttack , Orissa is more than a event to recon with. Simply it’s the best platform for the traders in end number of Products category , to showcase there products and have there business brands visible in the Public in East India. Balijatra is very historic in its conception and in the current years its been expanded a lot in its total presence and activity.

One of the best sight in the balijatra is the Gandhi Market or the Gandhi Shilpa bazzar , which is a collection of goods and products from the Rural India. One can have the touch of the teracota paintings, mud pots, rare designs , cotton and jute works etc .

This year I had snapped lot of pictures within the five days of my visit to the Balijatra fare. I loved those pictures as much as any one can think of after seeing the Artifacts. Some of the pictures were featured below and others can be seen at the eOdisha website.

First Day Trip to Tadepalligudem - best of Chilika Lake

2009-10-02T23:53:00.000+05:30

My trip to Tadepalligudem , Andra Pradesh starts on the 1st day of October. I have a RAC Ticket in the Bhubaneswar Chennai Express at 11.45 am. I took the Public transport most of the time to avoid excess expanses and Pollution. As it was a whole day travel and a 11 hour journey from Bhubaneswar to reach Tadepalligudem, It never tensed me for the RAC reservation seat. So I had to Share the Whole berth (Side Lower) with One chap, Somyakanta Mohanty (Kutu), who is in the final years of his Mechanical Engineering at Binayak Eng College , Chennai. Even I took two delicious homemade chappati from Kutu with Potato Fry in Day Food.

With just 1 hour of traveling , We started to converse slowly and suddenly the conversation goes long till I get down at Tadepalligudem. In the 11 hour of our Journey, I with one of the CSF Jawan did helped one of the poor family to be out of the clutches of a so called Squad Ticket Checking Officer, which seems to be more than Fake than real.

On the way I took some of the best snaps of Mother Nature in the Chilika Lake region, With Fog Clouds touching the Green Mountains, With the miles long green Paddy fields, lashing out cold breeze, and the darkness of Monsoons with in-between slow Showers. The View from the Train Window is hard for anyone to overlook its beauty. Some of the Snaps I had taken were pasted below.

At 12.40 am I reached Tadepalligudem Station, where Gopal has come to receive me. My arrangements for the night was done at the Maruti Residency, which changed to Gopals Home , the next day after the Home Worship and Puja arrangements were completed.

I had my Dinner at Gopals place. I took Andra style dinner were they serve Idly, sambar

Tadepalligudem Trip starts Tomorrow

2009-10-01T00:12:00.004+05:30

Just 20 minutes back , Gopal called me from Banglore and confirmed his trip to Tadepalligudem. So he will reach TDD , tomorrow morning and I will set out for Tadepalligudem from Cuttack tomorrow at 11 am. Tadepalligudem is around 700 Kms from Cuttack , and It takes nearly 12 hours. I will start me train journey with Bhubaneswar – Chennai Express and reach TDD tomorrow at 11.45 pm.

A Sudden decision to have a get-together at Tadepalligudem, andra Pradesh , where Gopal has taken a new Home. It was all good for the Gopal's parents , to be in Tadepalligudem, as its the native and peace-full loving , compare to the hush -mush traffic of Mumbai Metro.

Sabha at Kadampara - My First Shot

2009-09-26T23:02:00.002+05:30

Today I attended the Sabha, infact I stormed the Sabha of our Village with a clear objective of defending the fake personalities , which are making the life of villagers, misserable. There are two of the main characters who are more than the villians of Kadampara. I put forth three very simple Questions to the Sabha members , and I got nothing in answer, were as the Sabha was dismissed because of no answers, which is with a clear message of avoiding the questions. Well in the days to come, there will be more of these village pollitics, which I am very comfortable to tackle.

Lush green Paddy Fields of Kadampara

2009-09-14T23:38:00.000+05:30

It was one of the enchanting climate of the month, in my green Village of Kadampara. I took the Bike out of the Cemented Baramda and Shouted the three kids , Saurav, Barsha and Sambit , for a Joy Ride to the paddy Fields. It took them no time to be on my back and we drove towards the Lush Green Monsoon View.

Something I Could say to all, I mean All those who struggle hard to make a leaving, that Please make a decision on a quite Vacation to any of the Villages in India, and stay for a day or two , to experience the real beauty in it, The tenderness of the Nature, The blooming Colors of the Sky, the Clouds of the Heaven.

I am Sure It means a Lot for all those who make the Life more than busy with the 10 to 12 hours of Work, at least 1 to 2 ours of Traveling for the Job. Do visit the Villages of India and Feel the essence of Peace and the Flavor of Relaxation

Health Insurance is a Must

2009-09-04T23:35:00.002+05:30

A Full Month of hectic schedule and the Left Hand Surgery of my cousin brother, that’s took the time away from any Web Development work. Unfortunately my Cousin Brother, Sesedev met with an homely accident, which cost him , with a broken bone and a immediate hand Surgery. In a situation like this the first thing that comes to the Mind is the Money that is needed for the Surgery. In no Time the “Yes for Surgery” comes out of us. It’s the Very Health Insurance that makes us Light on the Thought of a heavy Medical Bill. I certainly suggest all of those in the age of 5 to 45 at least to have a med claim Policy.

All the done with the Surgery and the Hospitalizations , He is now recovering with the One and Half Months rest.

The German Ethics and Indian Temptation

2009-08-14T00:20:00.003+05:30

Had a talk with my sister "Miku", shed called me from Germany where she is doing her PHD. Something I really got to know from her on the German People, Culture and the environment. She told me that the recession does make a great Impact there, with most of the shopping malls and general stores are attracting Consumers with even 75% of rebate, but still there were no Buyers for the Products, as people doesn't have that much to spend, most of the situation in Job Market there is also Grim. Apart from that she shared the daily routines and the German food, which I think she does like the taste. In India we use to be very much social in sharing , like if we have some fruit trees in our garden or flowers, the normal passer by of the neighbourhood does buzz with the activities of grabbing the fruits at there own available times and liberties without even asking the owner, even that's true to myself also as I do tender to behave like that only.... Its common in India and no one feels its otherwise. But in Germany People use to ted of may be pretend do be more systematic, with decency and status maintain features which avoids such incidents. She told me that how she was wondered when she found roses out of everywhere with bright colors and no one to be serious on them, Fruits like cherry all over the University and most of the walkable places and yet no one seems to be tempted on them for a mouth full of cherry ...:).

Well that's what makes the western Countries more sophisticated and unnatural. Again she does make my intuition alive to learn or know more about the German Culture in whole , obviously when I have Time.

Also Watched the Zeitgeist- Documentary for the second time and was really Don't Miss it Documentary. I must say that this deserve the golden Globe .

Song : "Taare Zaamin Per...."
Food : Paneer Aaloo, Moong Dal, Paratha
Watched : Zeitgeist : The Eye Opener Documentry
Movie : Zameen on Star Gold.

Its the Time to Disco- Day 2 at Konark

2009-07-12T11:37:00.004+05:30

From konark

After Yesterdays venture we wake up early , but not so early , for a place like Konark, The Sun Temple. I had my Bath and Jitu decided for the Chandrabhaga Bath Adventure. Something we realized later on at Chandtrabhaga, that no one take the plunge into the sea shore as there are regular high Tides, and When We are enjoying our part with the high Tides, People at the Shore , near the Coconut vendor area, were just watching the beauty of the Tides and even if someone wants to be in touch of the tidal Water, they adjust themselves in such a way so as to make there feet wet. Small Kids, and even the younger ones are on the same spree of act. By the way We are enjoying the Tides and there immense force , that drags us from the depth to the shore, easily.

From konark

I am pretty much enjoying it and I can see Jitu enjoying 100% of his presence in the Tides. The rhythm of Tides with us continued for another 2 hoursun until we get out of the Water. We had 2 raw Cocunut Milk water each, at the beach vendor( Rs 7 for each Cocunut) and get back to the Room on our Boxer, bare foot. On Our Way ...we decided to go for Puri Beach Drive after breakfast.

From konark

The Konark - Puri Beach Road is a must to Drive road , which has got the temptations and the splendid scenic view of the Sea beach, beside the Road. Through out the Long 21 Km of near the Sea Road , One can get exotic places with the Cashew nut trees alonside, with the Forest Department of Orissa road cutions like " Drive Slow , Forest Area " . Small hut Villages with lush greenery and vast land of unoccupied habbitant, the Log trees are the views , that no one wants to miss. On our Way got to know about some of the important Milatry based area , which was heavily guarded and Protected by the high cemented Walls. As the iPhone was recharged yesterday I tried to listen my favorite Oriya Songs but the Speed of the Sea wind and the Bike stopped me on action.

From konark

We reach Puri , Remain there for arround 4 hours , also used the Internet, taken Vadilal Ice-creme, some junk stuffs like the Mixture and Bhujia, which eventually forced us to skip the Lunch and on our way back to Konark , we took rest at the Milatry Location Area , were one small Tapri beetal shop ,nicely designed, with the wooden table, made up of the Forest logs, in front of it. We had 2 packs of Peanut pack and had some of the snaps of the place.

Jitu and Konark Day 1

2009-07-11T21:47:00.003+05:30

Konark the beautiful and the mysterious of all the temples in India, A World Heritage site is one that attracts all. People who visit Orissa hardly escape the Temples attraction , weather its the enchanting Stone carving works around the Temple walls or the very Conception of a Big Chariot in the form of a Temple which has taken shape to its reality , amazing the Modern world for its mere architecture and the thought behind it. All this is the same , when Jitu comes this time (this was his third Trip to Konark), for a relaxing time to spent, out of the odd-yet lucrative world of Websites, Search Engine Optimisations and high Earning AdSense dollars.

His Visit was not a Plan as such but a decision made within seconds , while on Chat. Same as he was always , with the decisive action , very fast , hardly giving time to rethink , that's what contributes to His character of To the Time and Ready for Bang and Exclusive Idea Club. Its 10Th of July and He reached at Bhubaneswar Airport after a 2 hours Late Flight of Kingfisher. As I was not at my best on the Legs I took Ranjit, My nephew with me to the Airport and Receive Jitu there. Hey He seems much more fair and little bit Stylish from the Jitu I saw ,in Nov 4th , 2007 at Mumbai Railway Station. While the joy of meeting and exploring every moment comes alive as soon as he started driving My 9 year old 100 cc Bike, The Bajaj BOXER with ease to Cuttack. We reached home and had our Lunch , were Jitu had a little Conversation With my Mother and Chinu. At around 4 pm he somehow managed to make a tough on decision to go right now to Konark, I was reluctant on the thought as, I had planned for the Next day.
Well as in India it was the ATHITHI DEVO BHAWA, Jitu managed that with the DEVO (LORD) situation and in no time I was just behind him , Guzzling out on the Road, heading towards KONARK. Believe me this was one of the best bike travelled Roads , As I knew , to enjoy the Seasons , the Monsoons with a little shower. The Road from BHUBANESWAR - PIPILI - GOP - KONARK is worth experiencing with a Bike. The Lush greenery beside the Road and the cold Temple wind from the vegetation , and the scenic beauty of the Place along the drive and Social Country side, On going labour intensive plantation of Paddy fields, Monsoon Clouds with the grey shadows and thousands of Coconut trees , align like the pillars to the heaven makes the Drive a memorable one. With a small Snacks break at PiPILI we reach Konark at 7.30 pm and Logged at LAVANYA LODGE with booking of 3 days advance. Once the Shed for 3 nights were confirmed we set out for the Konark Area look at Night, Went to Chandrabhaga Beach It was too dark to make out things , but we sit there and enjoyed the Cold breeze with the High Tides smashing to the Shores. Some of the Fisher mans were dwelling there tricks to catch the Sea Crabs and Jitu did asked a fisherman on the tricks. Its 9 pm and We left the beach and set out for the Konark Shop area and while returning had our much awaited Dinner at Panthanivas Resturant. Returned to the Rest House at 11pm and Recharged Jitu's IPhone for next Day.

Reliance BIGtv == Big Mistake == Big Problem

2009-05-08T22:37:00.001+05:30

I prefered somehow BigTV on TATA SKY and that I was total wrong for my dicission. Truth to be told I never Purchased anything of atmost importance without proper analysis of the
Product. On the same trend I analysed three of the DTH and Find the Following. My Earlier
Post in my online diary , when I was really happy purchasing BigTV ....was totally wrong

DIST TV : Compare to the other two it has Low Clarity of Images and Sound.

TATA SKY : Everything is Perfect like Mr Aamir khan and it has one of the robust equipments, which gives a high picture quality and DVD quality Sound. Only that it comes with a Price tag more than that of BigTV and also doesnt give free months view offer like BIG TV.

BigTV : Everything that was in the Tata SKy was there , only the settop box quality is
little doubtful. But as its comes with a 3 months free offer and a price less than of tata
Sky I prefered it and the ovious reason that its a Anil Ambani Group for its continous Innovation and emmerging technology updations..

So after the Purchase of BigTV I was happy with the quality of Picture and Sound , watching my favorite Discovery , Nat Geo, Star Movies, BBC at my village Kadampada. It was just after 3 mionths that One Day I realise that the signals are not comming and there is some trouble in the Antenna. I called up BigTV Customer care for the problem and they said they will send the engineer for the same with in 48 hours. Surprisingly there were no sign of any engineer and when i caled again after 3-4 days I was again given the same commitment and for my surprise it goes on for a total month.

No Engineer had ever came to my Place.Every time a wired excuse given like Address not Propper ( truth is no one ever called on my two contact numbers given, so saying just adress wrong is a totall lie. And as a proof after I confirmed my address on my 3rd Complain I am waiting till now for the Service engineer to come and its already 34 days now)

No Calls from the Customer service Department on my So many Complain Request( I hope BigTV is not a Pan ki Dukan , its a Coorporate , which has some, at least some best Practices), Even after I had Talks with the Seniors every time I called for the Problem.

The Hardest part of BigTV Customer care is that You have to explain everything from ground Zero each time you complain , (14 times I have done - Guess and hope whats the Frustration wasting your valuable time for this Bull**** BigTV)

But DEar Mr Anil Ambanijee, every effort of you as a young, dynamic and truthful corporate
icon is in near danger, or I would say in the vicinity of Extiction. Please have a look on the Customer Service People and there ethics and basically the vey system you put in for that. The System is total failure as it doesnt confirm Service Provided or not. As in my case twice I was tiold that the engineers had done the solution at my end, where as no one in this one month and three days did ever contacted or came for the service..( Please check
the Log Books of the Complain and do a detail investigating query, to get the truth out of
it)

From My above experiences on the BigTv I could say it has the Worst ever Customer Service to have, and that the People responsible for it were just the Liers and doesnt know the Value of the Corporate they are wrking, Doesnt have the knowl;edge of the best practices they have to follow, doesnt have that soul and passion to work in service industry, but yes they have all that need to make a great and Good excuses and pretending with a generous talk of Call center.

Answer for the Following Questions will set the Future:

Q1. If on the First Complain no Action was taken why the nxt Subsequent complains were

verified. (Solution Verification )

q2. On a already arised complain why the customer has to speakup again and again for the same complain, wasting his valuable time.

q3. For the whole period of service unavailibility why the customer has to suffer (frustration and time loss) - A heavy compensation should me made from those who had done these wrong doings.

The Names and the Complain Numbers of BigTv with some of the Dates :

Complain number : 93707298,1936126,95555267,95927110........etc
Complain : No Signal , Signal Loss
Complained from Dt 26th March.....
Status : Not Resolved .....

Customer Care Heads Whom I had Talked on this matter :

RAkshan, Mahendra, Loma, Prashant, Raja, Mustaq....etc

Conclusion :

BigTV was a Big Mistake when it comes to the Customer Service rather After sale service. So try your Luck if you get wel of it.So Please don't even ask for BigTV if you doesnt want to have the problems for lifetime.Really very sorry for Reliance BigTV Group and Anil Ambani passionate venture. The decision is all yours don't bring home the frustration and troubles.

The Road Ahead

2008-12-18T12:30:00.003+05:30

Like many other I too got glooming the News channels for the updates on the Attacks on 26th Nov, while it was happening. It was the Live covarage, that I had experienced after the 1991 Gulf War, while I was in School. As the Village is not connected to the cabel networks I watched the News on the Tata Sky DTH with ease at Dhiru Bhais home. It was that 5-6 hours of News coverage on Mumbai Attacks that I was tempted to get a DTH for our home, though I was reluctant to get it earlier due to the fact that it will cost lot of precious time on skiping channels. At last on the 5th of December I got Reliance BigTV DTH connected which costs Rs 1490/= with 3 months free Lite pack and includes 106 channels. I choose BigTV for the very simple reason that it has a wide network of service proffesionals and also give free 3 months of 106 channels, which other will cost atleast 500 bucks more. And in a Village like us its more than enough. Surprising to me is the fact that BigTV installed at my Home was with the serial number close to 20 lakh, as the servise representive given me. So with in the 3 months of operation its ovious that Reliance BigTV is going to change the senario of Channel Viewing. As its Cost effective and still with the best clarity.

I hope that this could be true for Internet Broadband connectivity via DTH/Satelite linking. As per the news I researched I was optimistic about the involvment of Govt in the setting up of WiMax NetWorks in 80,000 odd villages in India. This means a lot of energy and information in the comming days. And Hense as these ventures are going to make impacts , Our Portfolio as a Independent Website Solution Provider is going to be heavy, which means a drastic increase in Manpower, Money and standard of living. The Future is really high on these technologies , specially for the rural public. Its the best time to catch hold of and the Road ahead is more straight and concrete.

Village Floods Report; First Account

2008-09-19T13:35:00.005+05:30

First thanks to BSNL , who provided this Internet wireless facility , that I can write my Blog with the first man account of Floods around my village Kadampara.

I am now sitting at home , ready to face the ultimate disaster. The Floods of Kathjodi river, the main tributary of Mahanadi River is going to come with in some hours from now. The Radio Warning on All India Radio is making all there best efforts to alarm the local public about the coming floods. Now at this moment of time , Most of the Mahanadi is flooded and we are in the waiting list, unlike railway tickets, no one wants to be Confirmed. Let me tell you that the 42 Mauja, or the Bayalish Mauja as we called is a island on the river kathjodi, consist of 42 villages in all. My village Kadampara is the 2nd from the River basin and the most hard hit one if the situations goes worse.. With the birds eye view of the River Kathjodi, the River is already on the last danger level and we may face the Floods very soon, by this evening. People are experienced with the 2001 floods and have the insight to make there best efforts to avoid situations like that of Bihar.

Its 1.23pm and I was writing this blog, while the family member were engaged in packing essential goods for survival, even my mother is shouting from the back to make the arrangements instead of gluing to the Computer. People in the villages are dragging there livestock to the higer points. Obvious reasons to mention that this is one of the emergencies that this generation of village youths has to face. There is only one rule that is to be followed , i.e like in WAR they say Every one is for Himself, I had spoken to the youths in my own village regarding there own efforts in making themselves safe, so that in the coming ours we could have the time to evacuate the Children's,Elderly persons and Livestock to safer places, although the process are started .

With all that told I was going to make my contribution and a break for the time being . Hope I will be available for the next post.

Hope the best for the People.

Serial Blast In Delhi

2008-09-13T21:04:00.002+05:30

The Tendency to Cure is always lower than the Precaution. But when it comes to a Bomb Blast , like that happen today in Delhi is an exception. You cant possibly remove each piece of anti social in a democracy. If the Bombs are put in the Dustbins, in the Autos and on the corner of the Roads as reported by the Rediff News, no one in this world could have the solution or the Precaution on that.

Only those who can understand the impact and with passion to live can make this World the peace ful one. With all these Serial Blast we learnt the fact that the roots of terrorism is on the Mindsent , not to any Country or there People.

TV News Channels - The Havoc Generator

2008-09-13T20:54:00.002+05:30

Through out the past 3-4 weeks I , like any other person in India was bombarded with news of fait, the News of destruction, the News that the human race will going to die and that we will not live any longer extra extra.

Its the havoc TV News channels like the India TV, Aaj Tak , Shara and Star News who were in the Run for there respective fame for a news which is much crispy and tasty for the TRP ratings. These Channels make a big issue out of nothing like that issue and started discussing on the Panel of expert( Some time I doubt the very credibility of the expert as Some one is a scientist in some research and some from the Astrology gurukul), who never give a specific answer, never guide on the issue but just go on talks with a question arising pause for the commercial breaks, and than continue with the next phase till the time exceeds for the next episode. The marketing strategies are brilliantly crafted and they never think for a while for the Public , to whom they have already misguided.

First the Ultimate end of the World on 21st December 2012 according to the Maya Calender. The Fact that no one single organized country or renowned Community follows the Mayan Calender , than why this type of stories on the News Channels with a misguiding attitude and a sense of making public havoc?

Secondly the testing of CERN particle Physics switch on operation of the Large Hadron Collider(LHC) in a mission to get an insight into some of the unanswered facts of the universe, the very existence of us. But the Media like the INDIA TV and STAR News are creating havoc out of it for there commercials.

Essense of Being Alive

2008-08-30T18:34:00.002+05:30

At arround 4.20 pm ,office TECHYOG, I was sitting quietly , watching those Five students learning and Practicing on there respective Computer. Ranjit, my bhanja(in Odia) was sitting and reading the local newspaper and suddenly I got some pain an uneasy feeling, I stand up quietly and make a move towards the other room quietly, the Pain is on the left portion of the chest and it was so intense that I was unable to breathe for 1-2 minutes, fell down on the floor and wanted to Shout but unable to do that. I was nervous for the first time and may be I was in a fear of loosing myself. The Situation I was unable to describe as this is the first of its kind. I was still no aware of the condition. I am aware of the Problems like this in the Patients with Gastric and Heart Attacks. But this is some thing a mixture of both. With the struggle continues I forcibly breathed and breathed until I got at last a deep breath, with the pain continuing and than had a glass of cold water nearby from the water filter. This Process somewhat relaxed the heart pain and than I had one more glass of water and continue breathing slowly. Slowly I got some relief and the moment I realized the essence of being alive, just a glimpse of loosing the life, being close to life without life.

Just after that I feel to call Jitu and than Gopal to chat on something, just to talk more.

I still love what I do

Quiting the best of opportunities in the Corporate world, Switching places, culture and people from the Urban to the Rural space, Leaving behind the 8 to 10 hours of regular office time, the weekends, the Mumbai Local and the experience there in, traveling within limits, the Chaos and hoosh hash rush hours at the Mankhurd and Kurla stations, and many such flavors of daily life in Mumbai for the last 6 years are unforgettable.

Now after the establishment of TechYog.Com , things were on the other side of Moon. As the Monsoons started, situations like the Cyclonic warnings by the All India Radio. Heavy Rainfall , danger of the upcoming Flood and of course the Fresh green washed up surroundings.

Now as to make a life, make a desire come true, to make it happen even though there are much more sceptisism and circumstances unavoidable , I still love what I do.

Its Worth Exploring the Other Side

2008-05-17T18:07:00.001+05:30

Since August 2005 , the most dramatic and the eventful happenings were gone, I joined Jitu(My best Friend) for a vision which will change many aspects of Indian Software growth, individually and thoughtfully. Vision of Jitu and the association with the team that He had developed is worth excelling. From the bits and bytes of his experience and the smartness is capturing the current technological advancement has really boosted my moral. In these 2 years of my association I rejected nearly 15 - 20 Job offers including the lucrative ones from CNBC , Zee Comunications, i Flex technologies, Kanbay, Lion Bridge, Yahoo India, IDG and Oracle University. Not to Join anyone, To continue developing Skills that make my brain fluid lite and to be with the vision, To get the best of my work done on the best of my platform. hmmm Green Vila Project.

Here I am .

2008-04-11T18:04:00.000+05:30

Here I am , in my own Place, in my own vicinity, looking confused, thinking in the mist of options and still on my way to the ultimate Goal of archiving something near my parents at my Home. Sounds almost wired and foolish for the most who know me, yeah this is the first step I have to take I have to Consume . It was Since August 2005 when i Resigned from Jasubhai Digital Media , The hunger to do something of my own , something I loved and the willingness to be in the sight of my Parents, my Home and My Village.

Potato Fields debuging

Some of the Snaps were taken from the Potato fields in Kadampara, My Village. It is the first time I took those snaps after my return from Mumbai on 3rd November. I love this Snap of small Farm hut , which helps us to store vegetables and grown foods temporarily.
Here in the Village I am enjoying the freshness and the peace of mind, though the temptation and soul of Mumbai is still alive. As someone said that Mumbai is one of the unexplored city always , even if you had spent the whole life in it.

WLL internet Connected

2007-12-15T20:28:00.000+05:30

Today I got the connection from the BSNL , after a wait of Nealy one month. Surprisingly enough that I got the telephone bill for the month of November 2007 which includes the installation and Internet charge of Rs 750/=. The speed is very nominal and I could manage it for the work as most of the work will be offline and the mere use of Internet is required during the chat purpose , with the office in concern.

As the time permits I will be more than Happy for the fact that My wait for the Internet connection is over and i could now give my best of time in shaping the future website development apart from the home Agriculture practice. Some how the mind is all set and I am desperate on my works.

For the last one month the workload is so much heavy that I am really forgetting to eat enough water and my weight is drastically fall down to 55Kg from 58. Though the morning wake up time is as normal in between 5.30 am to 6am , I could not able to go for the sleep in a regular and acceptable time. Now onwards as the net is all set and the work will go on with the basic norms. Here in Kadampara Village and around the Cuttack District this is the first WLL (Wireless n Local Loop) connection with the Internet facility. Probably more will come in the days to come but one thing is sure that it depends on the Phone model (ET 2288) rather than ET 2228 Currently available stock, which is of no use in the market now. To hell with the BSNL Management, for ordering the old model phones from China (Huwai) rather than the existing advanced model (ET 2288) .

PWT : Passanger without Ticket , Bad Luck

2007-10-20T16:43:00.000+05:30

PWT : Passenger without Ticket This is what the TTI wrote on the Railway Fine Receipt. One of the embarrassing moment before I leave Mumbai.

Today 20th of Oct 2007, Saturday at 9am in the morning , Chembur Station , Mumbai I step down from the Harbour Line CST bound Local train from Belapur and was asked for the Local tain Ticket by the Ticket Checking Officer. For the last one year I am using the Regular monthly Pass of railway, and my travel ling schedules depends mostly on the time , Like before 8am in the morning I will go by Local train and if it exceeds than the option is by Bus and today I got late and waited for the Bus. No waiting more than 3-4 minutes I changed my decision and turn up for Train and taken one Ticket to Kurla from the automatic ticket vending machine @ Sanpada station, just because I don't have the ready Cash in Hand to Renew my Pass .

But the things just go another way when you are sure of the perfect way, I searched through out my trouser Pocket , Shirt Pocket and my Bag but in Vein. I guess the Ticket was swiped out , while I was drawing out my earphone form the shirts pocket in the Train.Hundreds of dual eyes are gazing towards me , when I was searching badly for my Ticket. The situation reminds me of the butcher shop where people waited for the healthy goat . I convinced the TTI, who is also very co-operative because of my Regular Pass which expired yesterday only, and I went to the nearby UTI ATM to fetch the Fine Money.

Whatever be the case it was a bad day start for me and Have to pay a fine of Rs 260 /= and renewed my Pass at the counter before leaving with an unhappy face. This is Life ...

I am Living Life..Wao. Its my Birthday and last night I enjoyed the most with friends.A small home Party was arranged for my office friends. All(Ajit,Kushagra,Jinesh,Sujit and Sohan Singh) except Jitu(I missed him the Most) are present and enjoyed. I got a dashing White T-Shirt(from Friends) and a small baby-doll(from my sister) as a gift.

I was the third Children of my Parent. The first two children, one boy and one girl did not survived and the unnatural deaths, makes my parents more concious and peservative. They did there best for me to live, even my Father did a offering for Lord Balaji, Tirupati(Andra Pradesh,) He also started giving Homeopathy Medicines Volunterly from his Milatary Camp(in Rajeshthan), and decided that if I survive, He will Voluntearn Homeopathy, for the people, All his Life. So my father is continuing his will after Retirement(1985).

Wether its the Love and affection , or the devotion towards the GOD, I am still alive and enjoying. Life is such a small part that its hard to taste all the flavour of your choice.

Life Cycle : जिन्दगी

I could not find anything better than this image , depicting the Life Cycle. Look at the Time line (morning,noon,evening, night), (plant, flourishing tree, tree fully grown and finally a Tree without its leaves) , (Childhood, Young Age and love, Matured Old Man and lost Wife and finally everything gone.). Yes This is life and we are proud to be living. येह लाइफ है ।

जिन्दगी का सफ़र, है इये कैसा सफ़र , कोई समझा नहीं , कोई जाना नहीं.

Love might be a mistake but its worth Making, Living life is taking Chances but its worth Taking

Shoping with :)

2007-07-02T23:30:00.000+05:30

As the celebration for our first marriage anniversary tomorrow, both of us went for some tiny shoping at Nerul. The Rains in Mumbai , did slow down a lot today, which makes our way clear for a ride to Nerul. At Nerul I need to get back my money for the fake iPod, that I did purchase for a friend, and thankfully to Mr Premjee (the shop owner ), finally got it back.

I got a mild relief from the Neck-Pain , which is making the worst of last 5 days. The Doctor diagnosed it with the Computer Vision syndrome, which is a cause of continous sitting in front of Computer for hours.

At D-Mart , Nerul I gifted Chinu a dress, and a Veg-delighted Dinner at Shiv sagar.

Nostalgic : The Doordarshan Era

2007-06-09T07:43:00.000+05:30

Just two days back, early morning I was discussing with Jinesh Bhai, that something is changed through times , and we got ourselves disolved into the 10 years back era of Doordarshan(DD 1). Even though both of us are from diffrent backgrounds, diffrent place (Jinesh Bhai from Nausari, and I am from Orissa) , the realisation that we can connect each others childhood - teenage memories through the Television Medium ., Basically the Doordarshan Monopoly Era.

The Era was golden for us, as we had so many advertisements, serials, historical and educational programes like Bharat Ek Khoz -Based on Jawahar Lal Neherus Book, The Discovery Of India(The Book I recieved from UGC as the First Prize in a Quiz Competition in 1992), Surabhi(Renuka Sahni and Siddarth Kak), The Ramayana, The Mahabharata, Vikram Aur Betal, Mougli-Jungle Book, Malgudi Days, Bomkesh Bakshi, Dada Dadi Ki Kahaniyan, Giant Robot, Humara Bajaj.. Bland Bharat ki Buland Tasveer , And the National Integration Songs which , pop up nearly 7-10 times in a day. Most memorable one s are : Mile Sur mera Tumahara tau Sur bane tumahara, Baje Sargam Har taraf se Gunj Ban kar Trishna , Ek Anek Aur Ekta, Sun Sun Sun mere muni Sun ......Sara bharat yeh kahe pyar ki ganga bahe. And the Latest from Atal Bihari Bajpayee's Poem ... School Chale Hum.

Below I had stored some of the collection to Download. Thanks to my friend Rohit( Infosys, Pune) to provide me the "Pyar ki ganga bahe Song" .

Fresh up your Application

2007-06-02T09:47:00.000+05:30

Morning seems to be good when you see something new and bright. Its the same morning once again , when i heard of the Google Gears , API and the Extention out for testing.

Google Gears, is an extention for the browsers , which can be installed @ clients machine and is used to corellate- synchronise heavy database driven web applications , with a local database. So that means a database (basically SQLite) reside on client and it fetches the data as required by the dataserver, both when online and offline mode. And the synchronisation happens when its get online. Its really a substantial product to boost web Application platform in general.
