Intelligentle

Life has completed another small circle after I ventured out of my state five years back for an MBA . It started from Pune, where I came across various permutations and combinations of human beings and that of tasty food. Then, like one of my old acquaintances (who was obsessed with alternate phrases and hashtags) might put it across, I had to shift my coordinates to N20.0014° N, 73.7869° E or Nashik as we call it. In between the shuttling between Nashik, Bangalore and Kerala , Bangalore became a second home. This followed by the wedlock and I shifted to Bangalore for my bread and (peanut) butter. Then one fine day, I was fed up of having peanut butter and looked out for a better meal. On a totally unrelated note, I ended up in a new job in Bangalore and my new team sits in Pune. Now I travel to Pune once in a while, completing another little circle drawn with my MBA as the centre. Though I do not get much time to explore the city, I enjoy these trips, because the...

August 13th, ,at around 9pm, I was on my way to meet my friends.  I was waiting at a traffic signal and someone behind hurled a rude 'hey' at me . I turned back and saw the 'hey source', a person in his late twenties, with a female pillion rider on an expensive bike, with an illegal, high intensity head lamp. I know, it's a lot of detailing, but it might help me going forward with this post. So, this person was trying to cut the signal and got stuck between my bike and a bus. I hate random 'heys' but I thought of understanding the motive behind that. I turned back and to my surprise, he asked me that if I am waiting for someone! Well, I could not think about anything other than the obvious and told him that I am waiting for the signal to turn green. Unintended humour I would call it, the perpetual law breaker and his pillion rider lady was laughing at me for my response, and asked me to move ahead. I did not, but he made his way through the non-existent ...

There are targets, objectives, goals, dreams and desires for each of us, but the end of the day (or life), who are we to decide on what should we have. Don't stop reading, I am not getting in to the intricacies of boring philosophy, again. I had plans to continue the momentum in terms of updating the blog posts in line with the frequency of June posts. However man proposes and he, later, disposes. July started in a calm note but by the end of it, my flight was going through a lot of turbulence. As luck would have it, those were just turbulences and not engine failures. Turbulences are good, they test the mettle of an aviator, but anything beyond that might be out of his/her control. And these little issues kept me off from 'Intelligentle', and from my perspective, it should not ideally be that way. Small issues should not keep me away from writing. In other words, though we hope for minimal testing times in our life, 'that' happens. And all we can hope is for l...
