When you are in control of a coin, you are too busy watching one side of the coin that you don't really know what's on the other side until you lose control over the coin and coin is tossed up and it kinda boomerangs on you.... Only to let you know it hurts, a lot actually... When I started writing this blog I never intended to hurt anyone.... Not even Gooda....
Anyways the blog was one of best things happened to me which helped me understand my writing potential... But now that same thing justified my decision to stop my public writing for a while... It took a last punch below the belt to make me understand that but now that I had enough of this fame, I would like to quit as a writer on this blog.... This is my last post on this blog, This time without a proofread :) .... Thanks everyone who read and appreciated my writing... Love you All...
"Love All" is where people start the game, I am just ending it there.....

आकाशवाणी.....
चाहे बारिश हो, तूफान हो,
भूकंप हो या कोई मर जाए.
मैं इस weekend पुणे मे नही रुकने वाला,
Unless पुणेकी कोई लड़की मुझे propose कर दे... - God

Gadgets or Girls.... Dilemma in a Geek's life
Today i saw a forthcoming book "A nerd's guide to dating"... Well some people think Geeks are just into gadgets and they don't care about girls.... Well though gadgets are our first love, we do care about girls ...just don't know how to express it ....and even if we do it, the "Invalid Protocol" error always welcomes us.... so here's some things which i learnt in the encounters with these species (or rather when i tried to encounter....)
Girls and Gadgets.... These are the two G-spots of a nerd's life and today i am going to touch just those....
It's not easy to remember all the encounters but and it's better to forget most of them when you are at my place... but some like the first times cannot just be forgotten... it was class 7th and being a junior scientist you already have what a certified geek needs.... other boys just leave you alone.... and then suddenly out of nowhere there is this girl... a new girl.... so you just rely on your area of expertise to impress... and that's science
So there i was in chemistry lab.... carefully chosen a place near her... Hmmm... just when she is looking I played my ace card.... emptied my pen's ink in the test tube... made sure she is looking... but in that process also attracted too many people's attention... now I mixed acid to ink it turned brown... then i simply put the alkaly to the mixture... and guess what I got my blue back.... I looked at her....she was amazed... score +1 .... I opened my greedy bloody mouth to score again ... "Which reaction is it.... Chemical or Physical ?? "..... She replied.... "Is that in Syllabus???"
And the last thing i heard was everyone laughing....
.............. (I fainted.... score -9.9999e6823... Just think how many Chemistry sessions needed just to level the scores.... So i simply stopped playing this game atleast in the school)
1st Lesson Learned : Do not go out of Syllabus.....
Then came college and i got introduced to my first love.... Gadgets... and just when you think this life you'll live happily ever after.... girls come and create new love triangles and you have to face the unfathomable dilemma which you've never experienced...
So first things first.. Dating is never easy.... especially for geeks.... it's like a java programmer trying to debug an assembly code...
but here is the most important tip... go ask yourself.... don't use any tools specially IM... you cant really be sure who is sitting on the other side can you?? and how to ask... I leave it to your imagination... try not to be technical.... technical love letters just look good in forwards... they don't really go well with girls...
The date is very very important... whatever you do just don't be normal.... everything will be fine ... I know you just cant refrain from noticing their gadgets but just keep the conversations to non technical subjects.... cause may be ARM is just a physical organ for her ... she doesn't have to know which ARM is powering her latest iPhone.... even if you mention it, you may end up RISCing your date....
If she mentions her iPod and the new Bose headphones then what we have to understand you got yourself a techie.... don't be excited... the risk is actually doubled.... just whatever she says about the gadgets, just try to ignore or change the subject.... cause for her best gadget is may be the cutest or the most popular .... you don't have to start the debate on the SNR of iPod and the costliest isnt always the best.... may be you could try to listen to her iPod for a while just to divert your mind from the better and cheaper alternatives of iPod and the Bose...
If the date was successful and you are seeing the girl... she'll need many suggestions from you.... such as which PC to buy.... just don't go on using your technical expertize to get her a high end gaming PC when she can still do well with a refurbished Dot station.... and that's even cuter and cheaper....
Sometimes even in your expertize you just have to surrender it to the fate..... electrical appliances are just those things...... just leave them to the girls.... just accept they know it better than you...just in case your ego does not allow your to shut up, give meagre comments like "Hey that looks better na?"
And there would be moments you just wont be able to take it..... the geek inside you wouldn't just keep quiet at that moment try not start debate like geeks do.... What i mean is just dont argue like this....
you must be thinking who is this guy??? Well guess what even after so many tips and trick am still searching... may be this new book will have enough tips and tricks to get myself the latest version of a GF.... till then i'll rely on the reviews of the others GFs....

Bike, Babe or a Beast.....
When i came to Pune 3 years back.... one thing was clear, I am going to buy a bike... cause Pune doesn't leave much of a choice.... and I wasn't swapnil to buy a car so just like a normal punekar I bought a bike which had the best mileage.... but after a while i grew fond of the biking trips for mainly 2 reasons
1) Compared to Mumbai, Non existent public transport in pune
2) After 1 hours drive in any direction from pune, you can reach some historical fort... Dam... or at least some ancient temple...
During my trips I realized, I need a better machine... something which offers me both comfort and power...a cruiser... So the investigations began...
finally I was left with 2 options ... 1) Avenger 2) Thunderbird
Now gooda brought home the first option and remembering the shayaries and ads written on raj on the same topic, I decided to go for the second... and countless number of people who were intrigued by this bike convinced me that The Thunderbird is the perfect option.... there was just one problem.... In one review I read "I's not a bike, She is wife... treat her well and you'll enjoy her.."
So finally 5 months back i married the bird.... and when i brought this babe at home... i thought bringing home a real girl and introducing her to my Mom and Dad would've been easier... Dad : "That's one really big bike.... don't you think Majaak majaak me tumne bahot badi bike le li hai" may be he was right... he could not picture his son on this 183kg bike... and Mom on the other hand "Tata Nano would've been cheaper.. " and then she moved to some regular topics like my marriage.... now being just married I could not think of another marriage....
Next day I instantly started getting the Royal respect which was given to an RE biker... I found any two RE bikers connect very easily with each other.... whenever i came across any such biker... they acknowledged me ... which other bikers do that other than RE or may be the RD350 (they must be saying.. you use RD350 and still alive??... Well done dude...)
Talking about the connection... First time from Mumbai to Pune on this bike I stopped and couple of bulletiers from the other lane stopped for me just to check if everything was OK... and that was just a beginning.... one policeman stopped me once just to ask me price of this bird.... in harihareshwar I befriended a whole group of bikers for just one reason.... and these are just a few of the incidents...
Now i am used to all of this.... The wait on the signal has never been better.... Now I spend that time talking about my bike.... and i don't even have to start the conversation... The people in the conversations are categorized in 2 types the Enthusiasts and the Users... The Users talk about the new engine which is installed in Thunderbird.. and Enthusiasts have just one reaction... It's a beast... how do you manage to tame it...
Well i dont really have to.... Do you really believe the rhythm in the thump can be achieved from an untamed beast ?? Chheda once said... This bike has changed your style of biking.... you are treating it with respect now.... may be yes.... earlier i just wanted to go fast.. now I just want to enjoy the rhythm which this bike makes.... I just want to feel that thump in my blood....
Not all people are that enthusiastic .... especially girls ... One of my friends asked me if this has the better mileage than my earlier bike and i simply laughed at her ignorance.... but very few girls drive the bikes(Not scooties) and even fewer drive these beasts.... may be it's a girl thing... girls usually have issues with other girls you know... I have never seen any girl driving RE and only couple of ladies i know drive this bike are already in the news... one was a lady who traveled in himalayas on this bike made her way to woman's day special newspaper and the other is Gul panag... people call her rebel cause she drives a Royal Enfiend.... It was my dream to marry a biker girl but i dont think Gul Panag would be interested.... Sometimes a GF missing in my life makes me upset but when only the bike makes so many people envious... why you need a GF??....
