Tip of the day : Never drink water from pouch as if you are kissing. Because whenever you buy a pouch, bite it a little and start drinking as if you are kissing, then you get 2 different tastes - Taste of the water inside and the taste of the salty, dirty water in which the pouch was kept. Yuk... So drink it without kissing... :-)

Enjoyed a lot in Summer Mela with Rahul Gupta, Shwetika Sharma, Ashutosh (Montu) Kumar, Sandhya Prasad, Vibha Prasad and Aabha Prasad. However I couldn't enjoy rides as I feel nauseating. Made very nice friends. Memorable day.

At Summer Mela 2010, Kalabhavan Ground, Opposite Navlakhi, Rajmahel Road, Vadodara with Rahul Gupta and other friends.

At More MEGASTORE, Lalbaug, Vadodara.

Watching Prince of Persia at Fame Vihar,Baroda with Rahul Gupta.

On my way to Baroda in Gujarat Queen. Travelling cattle class.

राह पकड़ तू एक चला चल ,पा जायेगा मधुशाला ... - Harivanshrai Bachchan.
Catch but one path and travel and you shall find your Madhushala, your destination.

Sleeping in the balcony, under the dark sky, with a shining moon and dim stars.

Had a narrow escape. Bike's tire got punctured near township's compound wall on the highway side while I and Pappa were returning home. Was very difficult to control the bike which had speed of around 40-45kmph. If a truck or other large vehicle were behind us then it would have surely caused a mishap.

Listening to Kishore Kumar's songs. Just love them.

Today morning, in a marriage procession, bandwaja wala was singing the song "Mujhe teri muhabbat ka sahara mil gaya hota, Agar tufaan nahi aata kinara mil gaya hota..." Hahaha... Shaadi se pehle hi tufaan aa gaya... :-)

whenever you feel the heat, think of the village woman who walks 5 kms a day for a pot of water.

ભલે ને આયો ઉનાળો, મમ્મી ! ભલે ને આયો ઉનાળો..

ભલે ને આયો ઉનાળો, મમ્મી ! ભલે ને આયો ઉનાળો..

મમ્મી, તું તો આખ્ખા વર્લ્ડનું
બેસ્ટમ્બેસ્ટ છે એ.સી.;
તારા વહાલના કૂલિંગ સામે
બધ્ધા એ.સી. દેશી,
તું અડકે ને અળાઈ ભાગે, પાવડર તો કાંટાળો.

તરબૂચ, શરબત, આઇસક્રીમ, શાવર
તું કેટલું લઈ આવે !
ગરમીની સામે લડવાનું
તને તો જબરું ફાવે.
શિયાળે હૂંફાળી તું ને ઉનાળે શિયાળો.

મમ્મી, તું તડકો વેઠે
પણ મને તો આપે છાંયો,
તારી ઠંડી હૂંફ જોઈને
સૂરજ પણ શરમાયો.
મમ્મી ! તું ઘરમાં ઊગેલો પીળોછમ્મ ગરમાળો !

Great. Received another free CD from Ubuntu with its latest version 10.04. Before this, they'd sent me a CD of its earlier version 9.10 on request. Microsoft needs to learn something from Open Source community.

At Bharuch Railway Station with @Lalit Pandya. Going to Ahmedabad.

Interviewer : If earth starts rotating 30 times faster than now, what will happen?

Candidate(engineer): we will get salary daily.
Think different.:-)

Watching the movie Angels & Demons. Will read the novel, written by Dan Brown later. Don't have time to read it.

Rikshawallah's leg was badly crushed and was lying in a pool of blood with pieces of flesh near his body. Luckily he was alive. 108 ambulance arrived and took him to hospital. Am feeling very much disturbed after seeing his condition. May God help him and give strength to his family.

A serious accident at ABC Chokdi between a Riksha and a truck. Rikshawallah injured very badly.

Checking out the new Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - the Lucid Lynx - released in April 2010. Seems to be good. :-)

Cool breeze blowing. Little bit cooler Atmosphere.

Laptop battery lasts only half an hour. Need for a replacement.

Why do girls wear short T-shirts and feel uncomfortable by stretching them every now and then whenever they see a guy. If there's something to hide then they shouldn't wear such clothes. Even the guy feels awkward when he sees that a girl stretches her T-shirt in his presence.

By mistake, I forgot my new address and went to old address. Realized it after reaching there.

Had nice lassi with Lalit Pandya at Hotel Ashish, ABC Chokdi, Bharuch.

Reached Baroda. Still almost an hour before I reach Bharuch. And now it'll be boring as Rahul left for home. Travelling alone is too boring.

Returning home. Luckily Saurashtra Janta is less crowded.

Badmaash Company - 1st half is entertaining, 2nd half is boring.

At City Gold, Ashram Road, Ahmedabad. Watching "Badmaash Company".

Good morning Amdavad.

Reached Ahmedabad. Need to have some food. Too Hungry.

Surat-Jamnagar Intercity less crowded than I had expected.

Politicians divide us with their promises and Terrorists unite us with their bullets. Sad but true.

A small boy(of around 5 years) singing, "bachpan to gaya, javani bhi gayi, ek pal to ab hame jine do" :)

Artificial Intelligence beats real stupidity. :-)

Just received a nice message on my mobile.
"Why we need a lover when we have so many people around us to love us ?"
The wise man said, "As air is everywhere but we still need a fan to feel it."

Updating from ping.fm

Thinking to make public all the poems I've written till date and put
it on blog. However it'll take time as I'll have to modify them little
bit so that it doesn't reveal anyones identity. :-)

Heard the song "Jay Jay Garvi Gujarat" sung by AR Rehman and written by Dilip Rawal for more than 20 times in the last 12 hours. Too good. Proud to be a Gujarati.

છેલ્લા ૧૨ કલ્લાક માં એ. આર. રહેમાને ગાયેલું અને દિલીપ રાવલ દ્વારા લખાયેલું સ્વર્ણિમ ગુજરાતની ઉજવણી વખતે ગુજરાતના ગૌરવગાન તરીકે ગવાયેલું ગીત "જય જય ગરવી ગુજરાત" મેં ૨૦ થી વધુ વખત સાંભળ્યું. ખુબજ સરસ ગીત છે. મને ગુજરાતી હોવાનો ગર્વ છે. 

Swarnim Gujarat Song

Lyrics of જય જય જય જય ગરવી sung by AR Rehman and composed by Dilip Rawal

ધરા છે આ મારી, દરિયાની લહેરો આ છે મારી,
આ રણ મને પ્યારું છે, ખેતર છે શું મા મારી
ધન્ય હું થઈ ગયો અહીં જન્મ જે મારો થયો

જય જય જય જય ગરવી ગુજરાત મારા દિલમાં ધડકે ગુજરાત !

એ વિશ્વનું દ્વાર છે, અહીં સદા પ્યાર છે,
તને નમું લાખ વાર હું ભૂમિ મારી,

જય જય જય જય ગરવી ગુજરાત મારા દિલમાં ધડકે ગુજરાત !

અહીં સેતુ કરાવ્યા પાર મેં દરિયા પાર,
ગુજરાતી હું છું મને ફૂલો જેટલો પરસેવાથી પ્યાર,
ગુજરાતી હું છું મારી રગરગમાં કરુણા, સેવા, સહકાર,
ગુજરાતી હું છું હર આફત સામે ઊભો બની પડકાર,
ગુજરાતી હું છું….

જય જય જય જય ગરવી ગુજરાત મારા દિલમાં ધડકે ગુજરાત !

પાંખનાં આ ફફડાટમાં ગગન કહી રહ્યું છે મને ખોલ તું,
લક્ષ્યની પરે લક્ષ્ય આપણું કહી રહ્યું છે હવે બોલ તું,
કૈક દ્વાર હજુ ખોલવાના છે કૈંક ઝરુખા હજુ બંધ છે,
મુઠ્ઠીઓમાં મારી ઊછળી જે રહ્યા સાત સૂરજના છન્દ છે.

જય જય જય જય ગરવી ગુજરાત મારા દિલમાં ધડકે ગુજરાત !
જય જય જય જય ગરવી ગુજરાત મારા દેશનું ઘરેણું ગુજરાત !

એક દોરો મારી પાસે છે તો એક દોરો તારીયે પાસ છે,
સાથ સૌ મળી વણીએ એક નવી પળને કે જે ખાસ છે,
અંજલિમાં સંકલ્પ છે અને આંખોમાં વિશ્વાસ છે,
મનમાં કર્મની વાંસળી છે અને એક સૂરીલી આશ છે,
હે જી રે……….

જય જય જય જય ગરવી ગુજરાત મારા દિલમાં ધડકે ગુજરાત
