My life is getting better and TASTIER....

It’s like middle of the night now… and as I promised I’m updating my blog!!!


Looking forward to… 1)

To start with the worship concert we played….it was one heaven of a show (keeping in mind it was a worship concert) It came out really well, the sound was nice and tight. Vishal the drummer was THE guy!!! He was at his usual best; he made the whole concert sound so tight and hard. Pity I was also playing and hence couldn’t take any pictures!!! And am really excited and looking forward for the next show we are playing this Sunday… I dunno I like the practice jams more than the show itself…

Looking forward to… 2)

About my job… I’m not going for interviews; neither did I take up any offers, I’ve decided to work on my own… I’ve become a training consultant!!! It was a decision after thinking aloud and lot… I got myself a laptop and started to walk in company’s... doing presentation, telling them what I could offer… its been very promising as I’ve already almost acquired a couple of good clients… all by myself!!! And I’m hoping to do well I guess…

Looking forward to… 3)

My brother has become dad and the baby is like awesomely cute!!! They have decided to make me the god father of the baby… I don’t know, I feel I need to be really responsible if I be one!!! I need to set right examples for the lil one… and I guess I will….

Looking forward to… 4)

Train my voice and jog everyday… I need to get fit before wedding and I need to sing better at shows… I kinda look big and jogging for that…and I kinda go off when I sing and Voice training for that!!!

Looking forward to… 5)

Get back to random rambling as soon as possible and write something solid…

Whatever, I enjoy this busyness and also I have this strange kinda satisfaction and happiness in me after I quit Sutherland… I feel I will do well and am learning a lot everyday and really enjoy meeting people and most of all sleeping at nights!!!

Not very happy about…. 1)

My wedding being postponed on Feb. 6th owing to non availability of a decent hall around the church!!! However I would be in my honeymoon for the Valentines Day… how romantic could it get!!!

Not very happy about…2)

I’m not in talking terms with a great friend of mine for a long time…I thought it would be fine in days…. But it’s been about 6 months now!!! I need to do something about it!!! Whatever it may be, he is a great pal of mine and he is always great to be around and to compete with in whatever I do!!! Kinda miss him!!!

Mmmmmm that’s a fair enough update I guess…

And I’m seriously looking forward to get back to random ramblings...I actually miss them!!!

Well...Well...Well...

Well, I need to write a lot....rather wanted to write about a lot of things, like the worship concert we played/the wedding tensions/new business/new baby at home... unfortunately I've been working on lot of things, and have been drastically busy over the days...

Would definetely catch up on them soon... may be from tomorrow, with my new Laptop( Didn't I mention I need to talk a lot...)

Would sure catch up soon!!!!

All Hail The Lamb...

The above picture is the place where I spent my last weekend (incl. of Friday), it is a retreat house in Bangalore. I went there along with another friend of mine, Gangai, the worship leader (view gworship.blogspot.com) it really was a great trip.

It was a great retreat, preached by Fritz Mascarenhas. It was a small group and hence I felt the retreat was really personal. Fritz was not just another preacher who just spoke about the love of the lord and made you feel miserable because you faulted at times, may be even all the time. He was really practical, and the preaching’s were more to do with Faith and the need for prayer and god in our lives.

And Gangai was awesome in the worship; he created the feel before every session with his acoustic guitar.



It was a great place and the chapel there was so holy, and we had a great session of Eucharistic adoration there.

I mean, I want to say a lot of things about the retreat, I don’t know just can’t pen them down!!! It didn’t make me a new person, or made me an evangelist; but for sure, Fritz and his words touched me, I know for a fact that I would never smoke again, and would never miss Sunday mass and would never feel inferior to anybody because of my faults… and on top of all that…

====I KNOW WHO MY LORD IS====

It really was some prayerful experience, and thanks to Gangai who sponsored my trip to Bangalore for the great weekend. And gangai, if you are reading it, Thanks for taking care of me (Yeah I had a bad fever on the first day when we hit Bangalore)

And by the way we are playing for a worship concert this Sunday in st. Patrick’s church in the Thomas Mount; I’m playing after a real long time, and with gangai, real… real long time…and am excited and am looking forward for it!!!

Extrovert - For the Love of the game

I thank my company for making me loose all my integrity….and do this (for sure it was fun)

Yesterday at work we wanted to play table tennis. There is a TT board in our office and hence we went to the admin dept to ask for a TT ball. The guy sitting there acted funny and said there are no TT balls. WTF, I kind of knew the way he said it, meant that he was not interested giving the ball to us.

I was dis-appointed. So was everybody else. It was 11 in the night, however we wanted to play TT, so I took everybody in my car, we went hunting for TT balls in the middle of the night… it was real fun… trust me it was. We stopped for tea and were roaming around the entire town, and everybody was looking at us like real crazy fools.

Finally we found a shop, it was closed, I went and asked him for a TT ball, he said he has got TT balls, however he couldn’t give it to us because the shop was closed. We kind of begged him to open the shutter and offered that we would buy an entire pack. Well he did!!!

We got the balls, and came back to office and played some nice TT!!!

Keep in mind the fact that we are jobless here at work, and everybody here is desperate to finish our notice period and go and join the respective jobs we have found for ourselves!!!

Oh man…what has this company done to me??? Where is my integrity??? Where is me, the workaholic??? I can’t imagine me doing this in GE or DELL!!! Seriously, waiting to get out of this rotten place and go to a place where I could work… learn… and do stuff… most of all THINK!

Anyways, another 3 more days to go… I have already given my resignation (well, they forced me in to it!!!)

However I wanted to give a resignation letter like this…

Dear Unpardonable Vinod
As per the piece of crap I signed on my first day of this dreaded job, I hereby give 2 minutes notice of my intention to leave this awful company.

I want to thank you for all you have not done for me in my employment here. It has been sheer torture working for you and representing this crappy company.

It is now time for me to move on and I have accepted a position as a garbage person. This decision was quite easy and took little consideration. However, I am confident that this new role represents a step up from this piece of crap job.

I wish the company would go to pieces and hope one day you too will realize that you cannot manage your way out of a paper bag.

Glad to be gone,

Jay Rulz – Yeah baby, Big Freaking Time!

Well anyways, we are for sure having fun serving notice period!! Again… hoping to go to a place where we could work… learn… and do stuff… most of all THINK!

R@nd0m $cRibBliNg$...R@mBliNgS....

My rage as a seven-year-old was furious and endless sometimes it could argue with an atomic bomb or adults five times my size. When I figured this out, I also figured that my rage gave me the will to survive.

Survival to me means learning to protect the soul from disabling blows rather than fighting back. Anger has always helped me to overcome situations and save my soul from being curled. It helped me to fight back, helped me to prove. Even when I play shuttle, when I’m 13 – 2 down, my rage has helped to me to come back and win many a games (If Gangai is reading it, still cant forget the game me and Fari played against Shiva and John, same 13 – 2 down and we won!!!)

The reasons I don't understand, however am glad that I transmuted my anger and rage to fight for competence, I would say. It always helped me to derive and trade one survival strategy for another.

In my teens filled with rage, I discerned the need for intellectual growth and financial power and am devoting much of my adult life acquiring and cultivating it. One start up firm, holding responsible and respective designations, a loved and successful relationship would compliment it.

It will however take me a long time to understand may be a very longer time in terms with the results. I live in a world where competence and the drive exhibited are the key sources of power. Rage and anger would help attain this competency, if you honestly use it as a fuel to fight against – I thought.

Now being an adult, I reexamine my views on life, and how I grew up I wonder nothing has been constant. I don’t have the same kind of rage and anger what I had in my teens or may be some 3 years before. I have met a lot of people, not different than mine who have thier own views and perspectives on life. Everybody thinks or beleive that thier way is unique, sure it is, and thats is the only way to attain the competency that I was talking about.

I definetly have subtled down, I definetly have... everybody will when our fantasies are overwhelmed by reality. Rage, Anger, Emotions, Power, Competency...whatever it is, we at some point of time would just pray that life goes on... with no hazzles. Our views, thoughts, visions, emotions all would be zeroed when we just want our life to go on.

Reality... WILL ALWAYS OVERWHELM OUR DREAMS AND FANTASIES!!! we like it or not... I for sure don't like it!
