Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,

Old Time is still a-flying:

And this same flower that smiles to-day

To-morrow will be dying.

Sitting by the window,looking out i can see long trees,some electric poles,a yellow bus [Our Airbus],which 8:45 a.m. every working day takes us to our Yelahanka Campus,Manipal.I can see Orange & Blue Sky above the long trees & hear the noise of a lorry passing by,some women discussing something in their native language & a couple of people passing by with a vessel to carry milk.Other than these few local inhabitants,1-2 bikes passing by every half an hour & a few barks from some native dogs you don't get to hear much sounds here.Even the hostel seems to be quite mostly other than the speakers they have got which blare 2-3 times a day reminding us time & again that music is one thing which really binds us together,in any place,any habitat,ay locality,even when cliche factors like love,humanity & feelings can't.

Life is pretty much the same here everyday.The mornings start @ 7 A.M. sharp with the getting ready,water can go anytime[happening lately],& grooming oneself for yet another day of Management,Accounting & Organizational Behavior studies.The Holy M's bus arrives by 08:30 hours & within 15 minutes we all tread towards our Yelahanka Campus in pursuit of some more knowledge,enlightment of soul & some  slide shows.The classes are sometimes really long ones,really boring ones too,sleep inducing ones many a times & then there are people like 'Yoginathan Sir' & 'Sheila Ma'am' again making as believe that 'Life in classes can be fun too & all we need is some motivation,a spirit to make us go beyond that extra mile & some laughs,comic reliefs & good examples to make even a 3 hour class interesting,inspiring & worth cherishing & remembering.

 The hostel[say P.G.] owners 'Sundaram Sir & his wife' are one of the best humans i have met since am here in Bangalore.Praised a lot by lavazza much before i came here,i knew i had good people to bank upon here.The mess people are also nice ones,i say this coz away from home it really gives you some faith,hope & happiness if you find someone who serves you with a Smile,asks if you liked the food & moreover during the 'Ramazan time' ,all the ways in which they all were so damn good.

The Warden Shilesh Sir is a jolly,carefree laundaa type guy,not really hard-working but good at heart[i feel so].Rajeev bhaiya,the actual warden we all say,is the lad who does most of the work here while they all complain 'shilesh has gone to get patta gobi & this is all he does' :)

I heard some rumours that maybe the hostel would be shifting but people have denied it telling they have a 5 year contract with these people & it won't be terminated before that.I really wish it never does(atleast till i am here till next December [2012] )

31st August 2011:

(My 1st Eid In Bangalore)...

I woke up around 07:45 hours,so damn excited coz of so many factors this day was so important to me.

a- Happi Birthday Papa,i remember calling papa & wishing Birthday & Eid Mubarak @ the very same time,1st time his B'day clashed with Eid & i really wished i could have been home for such a great day.I really missed my place :(

b- Eid Mubarak,the only day in the whole year(infact 2 Eid & Bakrid) i get to hug papa,irony we can't express our love to our parents & friends,lovers & all we keep crooning love u's,miss u's a million times.Anyway,i again missed my Home,the black[urad] li daal with Basmati Chawal which is made every Eid & 10th Moharram [day time] & then offcourse how can i forget 'Sewaiya'.

The 1st time since i was born,no sewai :((( I hoped i would get it in the mosque but post namaz i am really worried as lavazza had been outside waiting in the car since 10:00 & it was 11:20 already.

c. 'Bodyguard'.

Now a 'Bhai' movie on Eid is just as common as Sewai on Eid & Roses on Valentine's Day.I had waited for this day since a long time & a day before when Rohit finally texted that he had got the tickets done@Gopalan Cinemas,Bannerghatta Road after constant reminders every 10 mins i was elated.

18th September 2009 - WANTED

10th September 2010 - DABANGG

31st August 2011 - BODYGUARD.

We were dropped near MVIT Square by Shilesh Sir & then a bus ride[11 Rs] , a Cab ride(took an hour) later we were at 'Gopalan Innovation Mall'.Some photo shoots,shopping & minutes later we were entering inside for the 15:00 hours show i would not miss even for Pamela Anderson :)

22:35

Today

Well,had my dinner,was good,Paneer,beans wali sabzi,daal & chawal.Have got loads of it in the room here for lavazza & pratyush who would be arriving @2200 hours.A movie called 'Jaan' was coming on Star Gold with Ajay Devgan,Twinkle Khanna [God,she is b'ful] & Late Amrish Puri sahab 'Mogambo' .Amrish jee was asking ajay to be the 'Bodyguard' of Twinkle :P :D

09:00 A.M.

Btw,earlier that morning@31st,got the bike keys from lavazza,Rajeev was to drop me to the nearest Mosque when it came low pressure in the front tyre was noticed.Finally i got the keys of 'Esteem' [hostel's] & me & lavazza were out on the highway.'Usman Halli' ,the place we were to go we couldn't find a mosque & were directed to 'Adarsh Nagar',anyway 20 mins later we were in a whole new place,a village again(this whole place is a village) with a family,an uncle,aunty & her sweet looking daughter who knew the way to the mosque as it was in their village only & they needed a lift too,so the Symbiotic relationship.

The namaz was at 10:30 am,an hour later & @10:00,the 'jamaat'[lines leading to the Eidgah from the mosque] were too from.We had some time @spare & ...

10 Minutes Later....

Lavazza: "Bhai sab likha hai".

U know bhai,earlier in the morning when i dropped the key from 2nd floor,i had this thought that i should have gone with you & then....

'Front tyre puncture or low pressure what eva......'

Me:Hmmmmm :)

Who had thought once on Eid we would be sitting in Bangalore near.....Halli....having Tea &.....

"SAB LIKHA HAI"...:P :D [I have assumed here you all have seen "ZNMD".]

The time i had my namaz & the prayers & sermons that followed it,i really lived all those moments.It was like an Omen of days to come when even if i really wanted it,there are gonna be times when it would be away from my people,my place & i would have to celebrate these times & offer prayers & hug people on Eid i don' even know what languages they speak or from where they are.But i guess that's the beauty of life God has blessed us with,we have the best of times & we rarely know what it would mean to us in the days,months & years to come & then years later we miss all those moments,crave to be with the people who made us have those memories & then again realizing....

"That time won't come again....It Won't....."

Ya,this truth really sucks but then again we gotta make some new memories some more moments which in the time to come we definitely are gonna miss,though we again won't realize it now.

I hated Bareilly,i literally abhored it...

I missed my home,Lucknow & all the people who mean the world to me.....i never knew all those long days @work,then lonely evenings having Kachaudi@Tyagi Restaurant,a text to all every time an enrollment took place,reaching my hotel (Ya,i lived in a hotel) & as switched on the power from outside the television started(it was never closed except when i dozed off@2).

The Tv serials i started watching(Hell lot of them),leaving for Lucknow everytime i got bored there & the upcoming days 'Leads' going in gmail as drafts for the respective days.Well there's lots to it but in a post dedicated entirely to Bareilly later on some day.

Hmmm..so i forgot where was i,anyway itsb 22:06 & still no sign of the two Gentlemen from Ohao :) No fan needed,the cold breeze from the window refreshing the mind & soul like anything.

It is not just without any reason,i have fallen in looooooove with place,the weather,the locality & 'the chilly oxygen coming in the room through the open windows & giving a sweet feeling near my neck & ears'.

After the movie,a walk all the way BTM,Udupi Garden & the 'Nariyal Ka Paani'(Filmy Ishyle) we hired a Cab again for our place.It had started to rain again,jackets were on,the breeze really cold,the best of the bestest Romantic weathers,i sat in the Cab,bade bye to Rohit & for the 999th time told lavazza...

"Bhai i am in Looooove with this City....."

' & during the time when i was in City, "Bhai, i am missing the hostel :( those trees & our window :)

The only excitement i had to go to the city was for 'Bodyguard' & meeting Rohit. A new city,that too one of the best but then too,i still don't feel like going to the city (2 hours away from here.)

Now that is the affect this place has had on me.

I Looooooove my hostel :) :)

Lavazza & Pratyush are back & plans of pratyush's coming to Lucknow this 31st Dec & me to Bombay this year only are on the cards.

Chalte Chalte,just wanna add,if you think i don't miss u ppl,u got me all wrong buddy,the classes, everyday everytime i miss u all so much,the time b/w lying on bed & sleeping & looking at the Moon & the sky@night from the terrace everyday...

These are the times i miss u all the most..

"IN YOUR LOVE,MY SALVATION LIES"......

Mb,Pbj,Kidooooo,Bacch,Tweeto,Big Bro,Chikki,Uraan,Gajju,Jagat,Draku,Pikku,Taklu....& all those i forgot to mention here... :P :P

I Miss u.... :)

Then be not coy, but use your time,

And while ye may, go marry:

For having lost but once your prime,

You may for ever tarry.....
