Have anybody heard about incidences that people are getting call from some 5 digit nos and then if u pick it it will hit you badly... some radiation coming from it.....i heard some thing like this from my native people...and instructions not to pick such calls.........
Then few days back about blasts in Nokia handsets..... so whats going on..... with increasing use of these cell phones we are getting increased prob..... we have individual attacks also.. like will hurt your organs...can harm your brain by radio waves....still knowing this will we quit using it?
no...but can anyone sees more dangers prob of cells than these harms..........
I see that... may be because i am affected by that and you really care when it impacts you....so did I....
Anyways we spend half of hours in these stupid cubicles in front of machine and when you get some time., at night or on week ends what you see is all your friends are on phone......now days either you are with computer or with Mobile...... whatever may be the case if you meet some one after long time.. then also this phone will ring and alternatively you will spend more than half of your meeting time on phone.....in any conversation you require one flow and that flow will never establish among you......you will feel like friend to whom you have known in college is changed now.....something was missing ....you didn't had that flow in talk....you will blame it to TIME and say ab wo badal gaya hai.....
Then i feel that Good morning Mumbai from Lage Raho is very true.... its really boring and deceiving myself to answer to the question on orkut "HI, how are you?"....doing good or fine and h r u?
people may blame me for not putting scrap but i really don't want to write "Hey hows life?"
but again i do.... rather after college life i started doing many things which i don't want to... bz i have to.... :(...... That person in me changed now...... do it for sake of doing it.....not only about scrap but many more may be that will come up as separate article....don't wan to divert form topic.
its fact that we have been connected to world by Internet but don't know about our home........
but can't avoid right?
When all my room mates GO MOBILE ...and i don't have anything specific to do....i also go thro my contact list..... starting from A to Z pick some one and call but I listen "Number you have dialed is busy.. ..please call after some time"

Became vendor in Local for one day
All mumbaikars might have seen so many people coming in local and trying to sell their product....some time we just see it out of curiosity and some times end in buying up something from them.... some times we buy just as sympathy to seller( At least I do).. I mean we may not necessary need it much but will buy it bz it gives smile on their face..... particularly if female are there who carry their babies with them......
Have you seen some one wearing jeans-top , carrying purse etc and selling something in local....... I have never seen until on 18th Aug 07...... yeah I was that lady trying to sell her product in local.
So story behind all this is something like this.....me and my roomie went to Bandra for time pass......... did some Window shopping and were returning home.....we were little late so took Auto and were going to bandra station to catch local for Dadar from where again we had to catch Local to Mulund..... so we were in Auto and one signal became RED..... whenever i see signals and some beggars coming along i remember Traffic Signal Movie....and i become stubborn for not giving single rupee to them.... but if someone comes and sells something i Wont mind spending.....so happened that day ... a boy of around 10-12 years old came to me and asked to buy to Flower pots ( Which were made up of Plaster of paris and coloring on it)He asked to take two for 40 bucks and i thought not big deal.... so handed him money without any further thoughts....
Then my friend asked me what i will do of it.... i said will take Native home...... for which she asked HOW? .... Good question...isn't it?
Today only i came to know that to questions which you can't answer are good questions.
so it was good question for me.... we took local for Dadar and i was thing of some answer......... I suggested how about selling it in Local.....by this time she knows me well and understand that i can talk anything weird like that so she said fine.... no probs at all..... you can sell it....don't ask me to do and in that case i am not with you.......
I said fine so she asked how much bucks u will sell it for.... i said one for 20 only then she suggested why not tell them 25 and then bargain to 20......... I also got convinced and made up my mind......BY this time our next crowded local came.... We stepped in As if ZHASHI KI RANI ....managed to get seats..... we had those pots in our hands....one with me and other with her....
I started marketing it..... asked if anybody interested to buy it for 25 rs and repeated above story.... ladies whispered among themselves....... two commented these are really nice... and 25 is really reasonable price for it etc etc..... one said i have bigger one at home.... otherwise i would have taken it......i thought why not go in other compartment adn try luck there....
so asked my frnd to accompany me.....one lady listened this and asked if I am really interested in selling it......on hearing my YES she given me 25 bucks and asked for smaller pot.
So this is how i became lady Vendor with jeans in Local ......
story not ends here.... i kept feeling bad that i took 25 from her....I did thought to return 5 to her but one thought prevailed me doing it was she will loos faith on me... for that matter everyone in that local.....they will feel that may be 20 is also not real price and won't trust somebody going forward.....I just do not wanted to break trust by telling i have already done that... atleast now she is satisfied and happy with her POT but don't know.... I repented for listening my frnds suggestion and started selling on 25.....rather telling people that i bought it for 25......
i am still searching for right answer....just to balance it some where i given that money to one vendor in that traine who was looking tired and carrying her baby....i didn't wanted to buy anything but to let that money go to some such vendor sister of that boy ..... what else i could have done in that situation?
was in complete dilemma.....what do you think?
what you would have done being at my place?

Money matters
Money --money is something everybody looks for.but i started feeling like being in s/w firm money has reduces its importance........ if some one tells you that person earns 4 LPA then its like ok ok package....
In our college campus i have seen students just don't appear for companys offering 12-13 k per month..... ( I m also one of them) but why this tendency has been changed so much........... and does 4 LPA really mean OK OK package i think answer is YES
YES because if you go to watch one movie on week end with one of your friend then it will cost you 1000 , 180 rs is movie ticket then snacks etc etc.....
yes recently PVR cinemas rates reached to 180 .... so is that money worth spending ... No ...but then I m already staying away from my family... working so hard to keep myself up in this rat race........... 12 hrs a day i sit in front of stupid PC cant i afford one movie per week ........... sure you can.......... so if you see person earning 7-8K per month an staying in towns and we as s/w engg in metros earning 25-30 K per month at the end of year in same situation.After cutting high rents, hotelling , phone bills etc what you expect to remain back.
fine Earning wise you are at least equating person in town but what about pleasure ?what about time for your family? what about health? i think this town guy is far ahead than you.
He doesn't need to travel 2 hrs a day to reach to his office so he has that much time extra, no need of going thro stressful life ...tensions to carry at home, always seeing bugs in front of you so good health........and important is he is with family complete family.we lack behind for all this.
so some times when i think of all these points i can't stop myself of thinking to quit this and go home.
but yes there is but .... but then i see all other things i got thro this profession, would have been it possible for me to travel on plane , could i had seen all 5 * hotels , could i have dreamed bout US/UK ... i am getting to see world with different eye here... so there are pros and cons of both... rather than jumbling in to confusion one have to decide what one wants..... it totally depends on your thinking what you want and how you want to go about your life.
Do you want to work real hard and get recognised and promoted , earn more and be happy or work from 9-6 get back home have time for self..........its choice you have to make...... don't try to get both because in that case you will not be happy........ something like this i tell myself..... try to figure out what i want....... without any answer and more confusion.....
