Time Pass@2011....What kept my Clock Ticking !!!!

Time Pass...or Pass the time.....look at this in any angle
BUt ultimately what happened was....this

I wasted time....Hehheeh Precious time....time which cannot be earned back
But who gives a damn.......

The only regret is that after starting to earn some serious bucks....
I had nothing worthwile to do with it.....No one to spend it with.......
Money Not spent is Money wasted......But...There is always a catch


My company pays such exorbitant salaries so much so that.....I had no other choice to sit tight and idle.....

What with my repayment of bank loans and money spent on travelling Kingsize with Kingfisher(meaning : flight tickets hehehe)..there was nothin left to think about even roaming about....Hehehhehehehe

But on a serious note.....there was enough to happily live but no lavish lifestyle......sighh

So what's the next best thing to go out and spend......
Stay indoors...download stuff and watch it......the only thing required is some serious net surfing for downloads.......

It should be noted that...this was and is and will be a habit...which just xponentially increased.

Even my office laptop of 160 GB is filled to its brim......with stuff...

Now the big question......what is this stuff.......

Movies...???
Yes...My coverage of movies is so much so that.....All wood's are not enough to satiate my thirst to spend my time. Grin...

Serials...??
Yes....Come on..if your thinking about serials from Hindi or Telugu.....
Go kill yourself...heheheheh ..
Seriously....as our great actor Balayya babu says......
"Telugu Serials chustey neku next birthday vundadu"...Hehehhe

Anyways.....my watching of serials can be divided into two ages....
Pre Kolkata & Kolkata Age.....

Pre Kolkata....was into watching serials but not that much coz I had other things which occupied my mind...namely..AOE..CS..Movies...and not to forget studies..ROFL....Come on...I am making myself look bad....hahhaha

And this is still continuing in 2012 as well...
What's a bloke got to do...when he has some time to spend other than working..
Addicted.......

Along the way came lots of movies but nothing stands out..truly...
Some were good..
Some were bad...
But some were lets say...bam..wham...go kill urself kinda boring....

That's one aspect of my time pass@ 2011....

8) A Throne of Fire..one of Kane Chronicles
9) I AM Number 4 & The Power of Six by Pittacus Lore
10) Some books by Ahern Cecilia
11) Some books by Nicholas Sparks etc etc and more etc....the list is endless

As I said before I like to read books...
when I am happy.
When I am bored.
When I am sad....
When I am free...
When I am busy....
I read read read...........Good time pass...Rite...Yeah Tell me about it.

Now Coming to the third time pass....Playing Games....PC games ie.,
Hmm this has actually decreased drastically when compared to 2010 as there is no one to
play around with.

Some of the games which I played....
1) AOE as usual
2) CS ..
3) Call of Duty 1
4) Call of Duty -United Offensive
5) Sniper
6) Call of Duty -World at War
7) Assasin's Creed -1st Part..I don't quite remember the name...

Rite That's It....No more games...

That's almost how I passed the off time in last year.....
This is what kept me Sane from turning Insane...Hehehe

Agneepath's Poem

Vriksh ho bhale ghane,
ho ghane
ho bade,
Ek pat chhav ki mang mat, mang mat,
Agneepath Agneepath Agneepath.


Tu na thakega kabhi,
tu na thamega kabhi,
tu na mudega kabhi,
Kar shapath, kar shapath, kar shapath,
Agneepath, Agneepath, Agneepath.

Ye mahaan drishya hai,
chal raha manushya hai,
Ashru swed raqt se lathpath, lathpath, lathpath,
Agneepath, Agneepath, Agneepath.

********************************************
My Own Adaptation of the Above Poem..
The trees grow to provide cover...
They don't ask for any cover...........
U should become as great as tree...provide cover
Grow...without asking for any cover....
Ur path is the path of fire.....path of hard work.....path of struggle

U will not stop..
U will not rest..
U will not turn back
Be true to yourself and take a vow
Ur path is the path of fire.....path of hard work..path of struggle

This is a great life
Every one has to live his own
Live on through thick & thin
Live on ...spending your tears
Live on...spending your Sweat
Live on... spending your blood
Ur path is the path of fire.....path of hard work..path of struggle

Confusion: Confusion...True Story..

I won't write that my hiatus is finished coz..
I am churning out posts after posts this year...And will try to continue to do so.

Last year was a different case....
I had different motives...
I had different plan of action....
But this year..it's all about me...
It's always about me.....wasn't it....

It has always been ...and will continue to do the same......

As always ...there are only two people whom I am accountable to ...other than me...Mom & Pop's.....It will be the same for as long as I live.

This year got a free pass for freedom......
U Know what...Rite...U Don't Know.??..I pass on this explanation....
But it came at a cost....Some other time, Some other post...

This year's main theme has been confusion.......

Whenever I want to make a decision...I M in two minds....
I don't know...what's wrong with me...This never happened to me before.

I was very clear with what I wanted...Period...
I never doubted myself, my ideas, my thoughts........No second guesses.....
No wavering thoughts....No decisions overturned....

Unfortunately the same cannot be said about this year...not only this year the last 4 months of 2011 as well...
Why is this happening with me?

Now everything is a duality in my life.....

Sun......Moon
Light ...Dark
Day......Night
Summer...Winter
Decision.Confusion.....Hehheheh

Is there any particular reason why is this happening to me now?
When I am at the brink of achieving perfection...I am failing.......
I am not second guessing my abilities...I am second guessing my decisions....

I will survive....
I am going to make it through...
Just gimme time...I will get over this........Come On.......Mav...

Aftermath of Excessive Happiness---Fun Continues

Aftermath of 2012 trip to Village.......

I always believed that nothing is constant in life....not even my thoughts....
Which I thought are cold, calculated, cut throat......but....ohh god why is there a but in everything I do.........Have mercy....

People change....Really they do........No other choice...
Look at mountains.. the best example of solid...heheh that's the reason for the phrase....ROCK SOLID....heheh Back to business....
They are shaped and cut by flowing water...so what is a puny human mind ?
ehhehehe ...

I never knew that I was capable of changing....WTF..WTF..WTF.
ohh god...where is this post headed.......

Retreat...Rethink...Redo...Yeah Rite......(Grin)

So the aftermath..of the jolly trip
1) My bucket list is calling me......Do DO Do...
2) Writer inside of me....is shouting at the top of this voice..Write Write.
3) Photographer inside of me....is pushing me to new xtremes...Shoot Shoot
4) The itch to travel is increasing day by day....Roam Roam...
5) At the same time.....I want my work life to be the same....Work Work
6) I want a relocation.....Move Move
7) I want to buy a car.....Yeah a car.......not the toy for kidz...the toy car for the grown up gentlemen like me....yeah i m not kidding......hehehe


A couple of things more......
something happened on February 6th...& 13th....

Now Now..don't over burden your puny minds to run over time....I will tell u .... there was a client visit on 13th...in our company for my project. So we had a cultural event....

It was a team effort....about 90 % of the team was involved in one or the other work....Dancers...Technical team...narrators...etc etc...
Team work means more we....truly understood it....
What with working and practising at the same time....TIME MANAGEMENT..hehehe


Knowing me...any guesses.....What I did? Noooooooo
I was not one of the backgroudn personnel or the coordinator....
For a change I was the actor... sorry dancer........I M A Disco Dancer...Hey Hey...ROFL...VAMOS....
No need to reread it again....Yep u read it rite......

Maverick became a Dancer......LOL...ROFL...I still can't believe it myself.....



Atta Boy.... Maverick...Take a Bow.. Take a Bow....

PS: What an Awesome....Moustache....heheheheh...Killing mee..........



Coordinated steps from the same person...who has two left feet...
Controlled movements from the same person....whose body moves in tune to the music...(to be understood as mass dance...hehehe)
What is the world coming to rite. :P
But seriously it was fun.... one thing which helped me out was that I dont have stage fright and also I have loads of stamina.....

Yep me bad..not to tell you about the dance..the dance was a marati style dance for Lord Ganesh...which is also called as Ganapathi puja dance...not the teen maar dance...we are accustomed to ..LOL .It was good....

But total credit should go to my Choreographer,Co-dancer, IBM colleague Deepali who thought I could dance...She believed in me...even when i clearly did not trust myself...BTW ...she is a great dancer....Gr8 teacher....

So I had no other choice...Learnt the steps...Practice makes a man perfect in anything...so thats what i did......yep...As cool as a cucumber....LOL

The outcome
Ladies & Gentlemen...It was legen...wait for it...dary...
Everyone liked it.....Guyz u should have seen our costumes...it was fun...
All happies....All iz well....in the end....

If you ask me will I dance again...May be...May not be......Let's see what the future holds...But definitely i will not take part in the Dance reality shows....heheheheheh.. Let the lesser gifted ones make merry in the absence of the master... heheheh Thats the attitude...Maverick...Vamos.... heheheh


So much to do.....so less time...already February is at its end......Still another 10 months in this year....

Maverick's 3 R's

Retreat  ...Rethink...Redo
Ring any bell....

Sometimes the best way forward is not always moving forward..but taking a step back, think and take the best possible action.

Coz in life nothin is the same as it seems....
one second u think everything goes according to what u plan...
The other second.....all hell breaks loose....

Wanna example......i have loads of xample's with me....
But I have posted many....follies of my life.....
Introspect ur own life's dudes & dudette's....Hehheehhe


So the best bet would be to follow the 3 R's ...Retreat..Rethink...Redo....

This will help you in 2 ways....
1) Regardless of many set backs....u will reach ur goals....True story..
2) I can't remember.....mates..

I know...preaching is easy than practising but ...atleast giving it a thought is the first step which you can take...rite....Words from an ever positive bloke.

What's Cookin@2012

@ Dec 2011 ...I Decided that enough is enough......
2012 is totally dedicated to I, Me, Myself.

Surprisingly, I think after a long long wait..even the gods above agree with me for a change.....Proof.....

Was able to work from home for 3 weeks....heheheh it's another matter that the work was hectic but the main issue of staying at home was solved. Yep......grin.....

All happies....
Mom Happy
Dad Happy....
Nenu bi Happy... LoL

Out of that 3 weeks, one week was totally at paternal grandfather's village....(Grinning widely) after frigging two years.....It was legen..wait for it....dary.....

I can say that slowly but surely my 30 new places to visit before I turn 30 is decreasing cause I got to visit Papi Kondalu....On a boat...The trip was awesome, even more pleasurable as I went with many near & dear.

The twists and turns of the river were totally awesome and it's beauty cannot be put into words....There are something's in this world which cannot be put into words but have to be experienced. This trip was totally one of them.




....Some Pics from Papi Kondalu.....


There is something about my village & Godavari(river)...
It is like a magnet pulling me always. God only knows.....what's with me and my love for this amazing river.....

I Love her when she is full in Rainy season.....
I love her even when she is barely alive with a thin trickle at the height's of summer.

My schedule for my stay in village.....
1) Wakey Wakey @ 6 AM would you believe that without Alarm...Amazin rite.....Me awake even before the sun is awake.....
2) Pick my Camera...and my feet automatically find their way to her(Who else...Godavari of course.)
3) Every view is a beauty....which I want to capture in my lousy Point & Shoot Sony Camera.(Wait for another year for my SLR.)
4) But amazingly every shot was a beauty as if she obliged me to capture her beauty to the bare essential.
5) Return Home for Breakfast and will away the time.
6) By the time the clocking was showing 3:30 to 4 PM I was away on an another expedition to cherish the beauty.








The view at night to see the stars meet the river was as if they were exchanging sweet nothings to each other......Damn I should have been a travel writer.....Not an IT professional.

GOD gimme a bank balance of 1 Crore, I will go back to my village and live of the interest. I need nothing more for this life. hehehehehhe

This trip of 5 days has given me the strength to brave the cold & frigid waters of Kolkata for another 6 months easily.
