Smile :)

This one i had written on 28/08/2001 just three days after my B"day.I was in 9th standard and was very happy to get 5 greeting cards from 5 different gals of my class for my 14th B'day.Of which one greeting caught my attention and impressed me a lot.At night 13.30 hours when i was studying physics,i thought of taking a break.Well the result is in front of you...Read on.....

Today I will teach you physics
With some lyrics..
Though it has nothing to do with physics,
I will surely teach you physics...
You would have heard of force of attraction...
Well its the product of Mass * Acceleration..
But for me its the product of,
Peace and Smile..
which results in complete happiness
with the unit P.S/s square(P-peace,S-Smile,s-seconds)
For the world it would be wealth,
But for me its both health and wealth..
The biggest advantage of a Smile is
that you dont need to run a mile,
with a file to get it..
Its ready made,
It comes from one's heart of hearts..
I dont know whether
I have any force of attraction,
But i know your that smile
itself attracts many people..
Thus you have that force of attraction,
You have that Gravitational force,
in your face...
which attracts people to its base..
In my opinion for every Question 
a smile should be given..
And for evry answer a smile
Should be returned...
I am very happy because
You always smile..
and now you would be very happy
to be first in my test..
as you really ran a mile
to get onto that smile...
Thus entering my file........
Thanks :)

Over the Years...............

This Poetic verse that m posting is written on 23/01/09 for a sweet friend of mine.It was a special occasion,It was her 21st B'day...

Over the years you made me realize
what friendship is...
Over the years you showed me
what the world is...
You were nowhere near when i wanted you
But you were never far whenever i needed you
Over the years i realized many things
we cried,we smiled,we cherished this world together..
We created what they call "Moments"
which is ever alive the moment we think of each other,
one more year,One more Birthday..
Still going strong...
Still taking the best of words out of me.
I am not being generous with my words or gifts.
Its just that,Over the years,
I keep on discovering a nice human in you
and its my way of saying THANKS
and respecting the mankind in you..
Its not that Only you,who is the lucky gal as you say
to experience all the good in me..
Over the years its the lucky me
who with you have so many experiences to share..
Well my words tho will keep on flowing,
like a free bird tasting the fruits of freedom..
Somewhere i need to stop..
Not because i want to..
But because i have to..
But what to do....
Over the years,
This is one thing Which i could never undo...
Over the years,i realize,
Over the years i realize.....


Happy Birthday friend :)

Modest Ambitions of a Ambitious and Ambigous Deepak

" Oyeeee !!! Cant you watch the ball mate !! its a goal..".... Pavam is what i feel for the small kid for whom the goal was too big to defend.Its been an everyday routine for me to watch the same small kid and his inability to stop the ball from crossing the post.Poor kid gets bullied by his seniors evry weekend.Someone please bring sense to other players and reduce the goal post...but No....brainless we humans,senseless our approach...it was anyways not a English premier league.Just a funny Gully Football...
    Welcome to Utsav chowk,kharghar..the exact place from where i watch these kids playing their game of life.So much passion...Weekends are sort of relaxation time for me from work and is also a period of extreme loneliness.i stay good 3kms away from Utsav chowk and often on every holiday i start walking from home in evening to Utsav Chowk and spend some time out there.It was yet another Sunday and i happened to reach Utsav chowk at 6pm,calmly sitting on the cemented seat looking at this majestic structure which resembled no less than an replica of some roman architecture with beautifull waterfall in between.The sound of this flowing water does give a musical sensation to my ears.Facing this landmark architecture i do vent out my deepest anger,happiness,anguish and evry other emotions in this world...
     It was just like one of those Sundays being seated alone...Suddenly a voice calls me..." Excuse me..I am deepak,do u come here today,hello,,,i come today,can i talk now with you"....Astonished i can be to notice this guy who was also sitting few meters away to my right..alone..and trying to start a conversation with me.He was a short guy with a very modest looks and his attire resembled that of a typical village guy who have come to this mega city Mumbai for a job.His english was totally broken with no respect to English Grammar.He could have spoken to me in hindi but he chose English for reasons best known to him.Well in any case i was surprised...From a distance of 10 meters he askd me..."I want to talk.Can i speak now?" i said "Sure"..he got up and sat next to me... From there starts an intresting conversation...he started off.."Hi i am deepak,what you name?"...i said.."hello deepak myself Dipin..Dipin Nair"....
      He starts his story by telling about himself..." I want to talk in English and that is my ambition"... i thot...ohkkk...cool...i speak in English in almost every other second and i never gave a thought to it that speaking in English can be an ambition also.Well i never shared that opinion with him and allowed him to complete.That was probably the first and the last time i interrupted him even in my thoughts.I ask him in hindi as i thot he might be better comfortable in that language to speak with me.i ask him..."English ambition kyu hain tera?? " meaning why does he have English as an ambition...He replies...rather requests.."please i want to speak in English.You also talk in english with me"....i said...Okkkkk,,,cool again....he continues.."i am a cook in the Cafeteria of AC patil college of engineering.i am in the Chineese department and make Noodles and fried rice everyday for students"...i think wow...a chineese departmant for cooking noodles...but i do understand what he meant rather than what he said...he continues next which does catch me off guard.." I am not Happy.,,," i askd "Why?".... he says..."for how long will i cook..i want to suceed and get promotion.i want to learn english and get better jobs" i wondered how learning english can help a guy who anyways have to cook and earn...then he says..."I want to become a Salesman and for that i want to learn English...I was rejected at many places coz of lack of my communication skills" Then i ask him " So what are you doing to achieve your goal??" He replies in a very happy tone..."I am going for classes..English Tutions..today my class got cancelled and so i am here in utsav chowk" and then happily he shows me his notebook in which he practises his english....i opened the book and it just turned me off...it looked like the notebook of Ishaan Awasthi of Tare Zameen par fame...The letters were litteraly Dancing...but i then look at deepaks face.He was more than happy to show me what all he learnt in his class.His dedication in his aim really touched and moved me.i cudnt resist myself...i askd him..."how much do you earn as a cook in the college Cafeteria??" he says..."3000 Indian Rupees"...i asked him how much did he pay for the english class..he says.."1000 rs per month for 6months"...i was shocked.i never saw someone who gave one third of his salary to learn english and that to become an Salesman...pity did i feel for him or sympathy...in any case he in no ways showed that he enjoyed life less than me...Our conversation continues and he tells me more about himself,his family in madhyapradesh,his sisters and his responsibilities towards his family,how he gets up at 5am in the morning and reports to the college canteen.......in all i gave a patient hearing to this stranger..i encouraged him,i spoke with him...i taught him how i got a descent command over the language...verbally whatever i could say to motivate him i did.....after an hour he got up...he said .."its time for me to go..It was nice speaking to you Dipin, i will try to implement whatevr you said to me...i want to earn good,i want to learn English..."
He says bye to me and he leaves to his small house....
My mind starts working now.I start thinking...How some small goals can be as big as Life for someone..how sometimes we humans do forget what we have and start cribbing for what we dont have....such is life's Dearies.......
one month from that day i happened to be at utsav chowk again.this time to attend the Sivmani's Concert which was part of navi mumbai Festival.there was big crowd...Admist the cheers and clap one hand taps my shoulders...i look back..a voice says.."Good evening Dipin..how are you..??" it was deepak..."I am fine and doing good.How are you...??" i replied...but aftr hearing my reply that i was doing good  he suddenly got lost in crowd.i heard a vague bye from him..he came to me noticing me from far just to say hie and wish me...
I wish him all the best in life....i never met him in any of the sundays after that.. hope to see him soon.....

Life In GeRmAn Shift !!!!!!!!

It all starts with my alarm ringing at 7.45am snoozed and delayed by an interval of 10 minutes in evry 5 minutes.Finally when the minute hand touches 6 i.e the clock shouts and informs me that its 8.30 am.... NO... i dont wake up.... Entry my mom...She shouts..."Lazy boy wake up.time to get going for office"..well there is no scope for snooze button here.i have to wake up with a heavy heart and the hangover of previous nights not so good memorable dream.A quick brushing of concepts..oopz....Teeth i guess ;),a strong tea readily served with hindustan times newspaper on hand.Quick multitasking while reading what all made news the previous day and then proceed for my royal bath.Breakfast at 9.20 and finally get ready to leave at 9.30.
Pick up 3 keys(Bikes,my Drawer's,House one),my heavy helmet and my bag containing my lenovo laptop,water bottle.Start racing down the stairs,remove the bike cover and then pray hard to god hoping for some petrol to suffice for d day as well as engine oil which might get over any time soon...vroom i start and zoom i go.i reach kharghar station at 9.45am,pay parking fees and catch the 9.50 local train which i dont know y but always comes good 3 minutes early...Damn the over enthu motorman... :( reach at sanpada at 10.10am.wait for another connecting train at 10.20am to thane.Reach thane station at 10.45am.Quick 5 minutes walk to nearby stop from where i catch my company bus.10.55am bus starts and i reach office premises at 11.55am...AND FROM HERE STARTS MY GERMAN SHIFT....
After swiping my id and a  fast biometric fingerprinting validation i enter my office.Reach my cubicle,keep my bag,take my laptop,connect the cord and the LAN connection,,,switch on my system.Day starts first by checking mails in my official id,responding to urgent mails.lunch comes next at 12.30pm.Work starts from 1.15pm...coding,completing change requests,staging ,team meetings,forums,townhalls etc etc..3pm tea followed by again work..snacks at 5.30 followed by an evening walk with my colleagues,discussing about day's activities.work resumes soon by 6pm..completing pending tasks,checking emails again for pending responses till 7pm and ofcourse,regular Quota of coffee from my favorite vending machine.After realising that there is nothing much to work about for the day,i proceed towards the TT room.An exciting game follows till 7.45pm.if am in good mood then a 15 min round of Carrom follows.8pm return back to my cubicle and do the remaining work that m supposed to do for the day/night...and ya...i also do surf net regulary in between work for latest news.no specific time for that.Slowly the time touches 8.30pm and i realise that its time to pack.i pack my official belongings,lock my drawer and proceed towards exit.and then the usual swiping of my id card and fingerprint verification allows me to legaly leave the office campus.And that marks AN END TO MY GERMAN SHIFT,but my journey continues....
I get into my company bus whose wheel start moving by 8.45pm.Reach thane station at 9.10,catch train to sanpada at 9.20pm,reach sanpada at 9.45pm and then catch train at 9.55pm for kharghar.Reach kharghar at 10.20pm,take my bike and zoom back to home.I park my bike,put the covers,enter the lift and reach my floor.knock the door and my mom opens the door,Enter my room at 10.30pm,throw my stuffs...go for a mini shower and have my dinner at 10.45pm.At 11pm i retire to bed...
Ofcourse i didnt mention anything about my dad coz...he leaves for office before i wake up and goes to bed before i enter from office and so our path never criss crosses..After all its me whoz in GERMAN SHIFT...
Retiring to bed at 11pm and then the usual story continues...i sleep and i dream..and yaa... again not so memorable dream....my dream continues and so my german shift....
