If it’s your last day of Life…!!!!

In last few weeks I have been coming across this “Live your life as if it’s your last day “…Wow what a thought! I was heart filled when it was said in the very righteous moment of a movie and in a news paper article and in a magazine; wow again.

Stop thinking guys come to reality, what you would do if you come to know it’s your last day of your life. Let’s list down some of them which one would do.

1. Call all your loved ones and say you love them.

2. Call your friends and enemies (if any) to say Hi and Good bye..!

3. Hear some touchy songs/movies which you loved the most.

4. Taste your favorite food.

5. See around some places which you thought you wanted to visit before you die.

6. Thank all the people who helped you directly or indirectly.

7. Say sorry to the one whom you lied/did something saucy..!

And so on..add some more to your list… this would never end and I am damn sure you will never be able to do half of this stuff in one day…!

One day is just not enough to think about all this and when you are about to die all you would want is “one more day to live”. When you think you have only one day to live your mind may just goes zigzag; your hearts starts beating faster like beating when you sprint; and starts prioritizing which one to do first and in the end you just get stuck in the hell with fear not knowing when and how you will die and you will pray God as you never did in your life time and ask for more days to live.
The point is stop the crap and do what you want as you like rather than thinking like this.

sorry for eating your time…will eat some more time later Bye..:)

Looking back at the Past…!

Last four months passed at a lightning speed; leaving behind with lot of memories to share. The last financial year’s treat to me was my transfer to Chennai..yes to The Hot, Hotter and Hottest city. My bro’s wedding, work and Transfer to Chennai ate my 3 months time like tsunami. Exactly One month short of 4yrs completion of my working , I shifted to Chennai. That was a moment of great relief; After 3 long years of waiting our R & D center at Chennai had come into functioning. Whatever was the work here in Chennai, the only thing that was running in my mind was to get rid of Mumbai office. 13th June 2010 was the day when we got independence.
As usual scrap the work thing…getting F****D is now a regular agenda in my work; Getting transferred to Chennai is really a big story. Once upon a time there were 70 champs all over India who got selected in this Company called Mahindra & Mahindra; we were assured that we will be trained in rocking Mumbai for one year and then will be transferred immediately to Chennai. Hearing this was like tasting honey and getting settled in Chennai was like Hot Cake what else do you want; to be near your home town Coimbatore. So, we started working; Year 1 passed we got confirmed; and we got transferred to Chennai in our dreams…and we dreamt thrice…and at last we got independence....!!! It was party time…!!!!
During this course of time, apart from working I also had a very big task of Teaching Geography to some of the ppl here in Mumbai office ( I don’t know how they passed Geography in their 10th..:). In their Map India had only 26 states; Karnataka, Andhra, Kerela and Tamil Nadu happens to be One State, Language spoken being Tamil, script being Jeelabi language and Chennai happens to be its Capital…Phoooo!!! So, Explaining them about districts in Tamil Nadu would be a very big Project; Though our new R & D facility happens to be in Kanchipuram Dist we call it Chennai; explaining them again about the Geography… ..That’s the biggest mistake you would ever do….!

Yeah That’s it for now catch you guys in next Blog

An Usual…Syndrome…!!

Folks Welcome back to the Blog reading….it's been one year that I started writing “My Black box”…yep..1st Birthday of “MY Black Box”.It's been quite an exciting journey….endless journey to the mysterious future; who knows where the hell I will land up tomorrow. I started wondering for a while when one of my blog reader told me that, if I compile a book with all my previous blogs its gonna be a sad story worth dumping…I couldn’t stop thinking if I am in Hell or in The Mother Earth….

So thinking again….the sad story was continuing like a water flow..never taking a break..…!!!Irritation and frustration were driving my brain crazy and it was when I fell sick as my Blood pressure went down…and when I burnt my left hand keeping my whole week in total mess. I realized I should stop loving the company but love the work….lot of things to learn….Every time I face this agony I just console myself with the “3 idiots dialogue”…”All is Well”…..This worked out well.

Work was boring…tiring…and hectic… Thinking my week end will be a nice party day and all the plans were in place….but as an usual syndrome my Boss planned my visit to Nashik on Saturday….i had no other option but to pack and leave the same day..i think I had a cat sleep during my journey to nashik…..and then I remember myself discussing with our supplier about some techy stuffs…which is of least importance to you guys….so….into trash can!! ….
Meeting one of my school mate and her brother…..( don’t think much its “her” )…so this thambi of my school mate had accompanied her sis till mumbai to make sure everything is ok for her, though she has Black belt in Karate(i too have a black belt..)…..The ultimate part of the whole thing is that ..we were meeting for the first time….i felt bad about my sightadichufying skilll….so bad…. I haven’t seen her once in my 2 yrs of whole schooling..i should hang myself.. :(
The best thing this time was that my Cousin sister was staying in Nashik…and I made it a point to visit her house….Her daughter…Aardra…..!!!(I know you guys would be thinking if I had typed my Nephew’s name wrongly…..Nop…I asked her name more than 10 times…they should have google searched for the name…..Phooo!!!) ok her nick name is “kukudu”…..yep…funny again…”ku..Ku…Du…” ..She showed me all the stuff which she felt was amazing….starting from the fan…light…all her toys…her “bau bau”( her toy dog)…she is all active and happy 24x7 all you would want is go back to your child hood days…!!!....giving my movie a happy ending...

Oh Shit, Not Again!!!

Every time i get lost when I start thinking about what header I should give to my lastest blog…but this time I was lost thinking what I should write in the blog itself…!!!
Anyways…it’s all the crap thing as always....I was desperately waiting for my hand to recover from the injury which I earned from the fraction of second’s carelessness when I was in Rajkot….

Every bit of excitement to visit Rajkot this time was drained out….the only thing left for me was to work..eat…sleep…and work….The routine activities sucked and I felt I was experiencing Hell…!! Tough my friends joined me the same hell i wasa in Doube hell. To fill my weekly off.... I made it a point to visit “Jalaram Temple” in Veerpur. The whole travel to Veerpur was interesting event….We had hired a Car…for just 250 bucks( Fuel was on us…!!) It was an Alto..with power windows…DVD player & TV…wow...Rajkot is amazing….! Just 10 mins drive from Hotel we had passed 20 km and we stopped…sorry the car stopped….it was reluctant to move ahead anymore….we were stranded on the Highway but was lucky to have a petrol bunk just a meter away……

All three mechanical engineers stepped out of the car to check what the hell went wrong….Hot fumes started coming from the engine..making the engine more worse than it was….!!! 4 yrs in engineering jail after our schooling helped us sort out the problem and rectify.20 mins of drive from the Pit-stop we had reached Jalaram Temple...my prayers didn’t work well…..I successfully failed my exams which I had appeared in the third week of Jan’10. This was the only thing which went as I had expected…”Lucky Me”……Later part of my days in Rajkot went just like a snail…and it’s a sorrow story…better ignore it…!!! Coming back to Mumbai should have wiped off my sorrows but it just sprayed some more fuel to the fire...Thats when I felt…” Oh Shit Not again…!!”

Fraction of Seconds……!!!!...… ……” A”

Butterfly Effect, Fate, Tragedy, Carelessness, my hand, my fingers…. The end…..these were the words which lingered in my brain when this unimaginable incident ..no accident….no..tragedy..ok…guys say anything you want…... had happened.
I was in sweet Rajkot shaping my career by adding the so called “Experience” ; I don’t know what one would see in this experience….anyways….The days and nights were the same…so cold that you ought to wear winter shirts; the only difference being the Sun radiating its infra-red light during the days…..Hectic schedules make us forget lunch and dinner at times we forget the month and week of the day we are at present…!!! Stress busters were none other than going for movie…and this time it was “3 Idiots”….I would say..it’s a “ Must watch movie” and you should watch it million times…!!
We were making vehicles at faster rate and it needed uninterrupted supply of components without any quality problem…and problem is inevitable where there is Engineering…..and so testing each and every vehicle for all the damn thing was necessary…….All I have to do is sit and watch…and sometimes……enthusiasm rides over when we do things ourself to feel it…It was something like that when i had a look at the transmission which was ready for testing….i just started it…the sound that came from it said …”I am totally Alright” I felt good…and said to the operator…Add 1 to the production count……but something was not the way it was meant to…and I adjusted the motor with the help of small tongs…..The problem was rectified.
My left hand was still on the motor with the tongs…some thing went out of my mind..my brain didn’t think…I started the motor…it took just fraction of seconds to send a message to my brain to switch of the motor..and I did it…but it was too late…the only thing I could see was Blood on my hands..i couldn’t think…I was just seeing my hand and was trying to figure out how did this happen and why is it bleeding…?? I just kept calm…I couldn’t shout or cry….i couldn’t feel anything…i kept walking towards the first aid box and washed my blood away…it was not helping, it was flowing like a water falls.....As the tongs rotated it took my middle finger further too far that phalanges tore my palm….and Now…it was terrible……..pain and sorrow gravitated me…like hell…!!..Thoughts were going hay why, if I had broken my finger…if my bones got dislocated…I couldn’t stop my brain from thinking something weird…!!All I thought after this entire incidence was similar to The Slum dog Millionaire ……

How did Sriram hurt his hand?

a. He was careless
b. He was unlucky
c. It is written (fate)



The Ans: c. It’s Written


The life goes on…!!!

Life in Rajkot….!

3 months break from Rajkot gave me a special and same feeling like meeting a childhood friend after a very long period… …..”The Hotel, Food, Somnath Temple, Gir Forest, fatty,The Autowalas & all the tiring work”…..striking my brain like a movie flashback. I couldn’t stop smiling....it was all Fun clubbed with slight inexorable work!!!!Lets ditch the work part and get in to the fun part…..
Going to office is always a irksome thing, it always starts with a complete dejection from the start of the day1 of the week…day2 and day3 goes gloomy day4 and day5 passes enthusiastically with the coming week end….and so our plan for the weekend started…All the droopy plans were pouring inn like a water fall….and the only thing that we did was scrap it!...Still one of the plans worked out for our lazyness…....Before I start about this thing let me tell you that the day I reached Rajkot…the first thing we did was sign MoU with one of the Autowala…for our daily visit to the Assembly plant;This time the agreement was with Javed, we booked his auto for the whole day for our Stupendous plan….and it works out cheap…!!!
The cold climate in Rajkot was pleasant enough to keep us in bed for a long time…., it took us 1 hr to reach gondal from The Grand Regency; Hiren was waiting for us exactly infront of Orchad palace….within minutes we were in the palace..the old hand crafted chairs…marble table, wooden painting of sunset…Heritage of the king was clearly evident all the things that passed our eyes…..The guide took us to the Vintage Car collection…The king was really a man of passion..he didn’t miss any of the car models that came out from all the companies around the world….70 cars which were displayed and were just the half of the collection he had….!!!Wow….we just left the palace with a gust feeling to spend more time….The trip was not over…our next visit was to King’s Fort….just as we entered the first room we felt like…”Holy Shit”….This King had really gone mad..he even had the miniature toy cars….there were some 500 + cars to his prestigious collection.To add to our final contentment was at Bhuvaneshwari and Mahadev temple….Rest of the day passed out sweetly….with a good long nap….

Experienceing the Experience..!!!!

Let me get it straight…its gonna be philosophical about the events that happened past one month…so, as the time passed like a lightening speed..filling my days and nights with work, all I would desperately wait was for the lovely “Sunday” which eventually would end up at supplier’s end.
With uneventful events happening all I could do was just look at it and wait to see where the hell this would end. Time was teaching me about my mistakes and the way I should act and react to a situation….and all these events make it a nice good “experience”
With uninterrupted flow of work, there was no time to think and it was this day when one of our vehicle's component was missing leaving us with no components left for our assembly; and having a vehicle unassembled will end us at losing lakhs of rupees….!!!and if that happens; guys I am out of job…!! So, leaving me with no choice other than searching for the component, I started my search like in a hide & Seek. As the pressure was building up I was made to hurry up my hunt for the missing component…..The search was intense and all alone and I was victorious at the end of the day……Every climax has a good ending…not mine….I got the component but it was all in a messed up state; and it was as good as the missing component. I had to do the sorting thing to get good one’s from the lot to run the assembly line without any interruption. It took another couple of hours of mine, I got the mess cleaned up and the assembly was good to go….! But then came the second Climax….a small problem stopped the assembly……..sweeping this problem took another few minutes and it was ready to go….! But again…The Third Climax…!!! The mating component was not matching so….!!!!!...Phoooo the fourth climax favoured me…….but, by the time all this happened ….i had attended 100 phone calls… and my boss and boss of boss were aware of the mess and they had all their shot guns ready to fire me at blank point!!!...I got Royally Screwed…..All that I learnt was as problems flows like a river...and if your fate is against you..problems would pile up like in a rising reservoir dam..!!!..Whatever you do….”think before you ACT”. We come across lot of problems in life and we try to patch the situation by reacting rather than acting on the solution. No problem is called a NICE EXPERIENCE if it doesn’t land up into a problem.
Meet you guys with another "nice eXperience".......
