The myth about electrical vehicals....

The people having electric vehicle thoughts that they are saving money and environment both...
As advertised by the companies...

Well.. they are not totally wrong...
but not true as well...

When people charge their batteries for their vehicles... they are using the electrical power...
Now to full fill the requirement for this power ... Power plants need to increase in capacity...
Atomic , hydro or any non polluting power plant cannot increase its capacity dynamically when needed...

So ultimately... more charcoal is burnt at power plants to withstand this hike of power usage...
which pollutes the environment at last....

So we need to reduce our power consumption if we really need to save environment....

So people out there....
Be natural ... use less power and stay healthy....
try to enjoy nature in its purest form...

For IT people......
Please turn off the computer when you leave office.... :-)

Terrible night ...

Oh god what terrible night it was...!!!
Yesterday was SHARAD PUNAM ... the full moon night after navratri...

The place were my room is located is next to the bharvad vas...
I thought during navratri that why these people are not doing garbas??
coz it is their big festival... but i didnt know that .. it was the peace before war...!!!

yesterday they done it.....
Garba for whole night and of course with number of loud speakers and amplifiers....
and the icing of the cake was... the singers...
the worst singers i have ever heard... they not singing even one full garbo properly...

but i again caught by my past years of navratri...
i was also used to play it till the morning...

but now we are not allowed for garba after midnight..
WHY??
coz the terrorism... people are afraid to gather in large number...
coz they have fear of bomb blast....

This should not be the case....
common guys this our world... why one should fear of anything??
lets make our world more beautiful...
and lets put our efforts to achieve it....

Are you with me??

The Longest Yard.....

Hey ... dont be confused by the name...

I am not talking about any movie of war or anything like that...

The place were i am working currently ....
It has two ways to reach my room and to come from my room..
first one is the main road... one can go by that way to see the big malls and lot of branded shops of different varieties....
but the second and preferred way is the road goes from the lanes which is parallel to the main road .... but in between it contains the LONGEST YARD...

Yes it is the place which i am talking about...
Actually there is one collage on that way...
Lot of youngsters you can find out there in those lanes ... sitting on their parked vehicles and doing gossips....
And of course the girls....
Many guys from my workplace prefer to use that way .... and usually goes on that rout after lunch for a small walk...

Whenever i pass through that road... the memories of collage days comes in my mind... and my walking speed gets slow... and it feels like the longest yard on the way through heaven....

Is there any such place around you guy???
I am having one!!!!

TOUR DE ABU.... part 8...

when we reached at hotel room...
the beer party was going on...

Sandip and bhargav have not completed their 500ml tins ...
RT was done with his part.. and ladani was agreed to complete the remaining tins... total 1 liter...!!!
Why people go beyond their limits??
like sandip and bhargav didnt completed their dose...
and at the last part of party ladani took biscuits as munching!!!

then we thought to have some masti with modi ... when he went outside to search for driver..
we made the plan...
when he entered the room... ladani called him and got angry on him and asked him to have a sip of beer...
we were enjoying the scene.... for a moment i thought that he is truly drunk or what??
but it ended soon with the apologizing scene and all set...

we went for dinner ...
Our driver came after having a shot of neat wine or whisky and not walking properly...
ladani asked him that if he can drive..?? otherwise we will go on our own...
and you know the drunken people they were fighting verbally...
Fortunately.. sandy was between them and handled both of them well....
we went to sankalp and ate nice south Indian dinner....

now the Sandy was fully loaded with the deadly combination of ..
non vge lunch... 250 ml of beer and finally south indian dinner...
and the most important thing was that he had done competition with jalli at nonveg lunch....
we got the news next morning... that sandip had done vomits at night from 2:30 to 4 oclock...
and we thought that probably we can enjoy today...
jalli went to arouse sandy ....
and sandy replied that .... dont disturb me otherwise... *****!#@!$!#$!#$
and jalli came back to the other room....

still the phota no kido was working fine and ....
Jalli , bhargav and ladani went out for another photo session...
we got ready mean while and they came back....
that was the time i got the most amazing picture .... RT doing pee in washbasin!!!!!!

then Modi , RT and i went for our photo session and finally all of us got ready and went for GURU SHIKHAR....

That was the perfect time to visit guru shikhar..
lots of clouds were there on shikhar ... and felt like we were in heaven....
after having breakfast of about 300 Rs... we climbed to shikhar...
then we started tracking and climbed down from the other side which was more thrilling ...
the most amazing adventure of my life till now...
after many arguments and lots of gada gadi ... modi agrred and came with us...

we went for lunch and came back to panch pada lake...
we done some shopping there.... one uncle show us some magic tricks and we bought some of them...
and then after we returned... home ....

the most wonderful days of my life ended there...

THE AFTER SHOCKS....!!!!

Sandip entered in the bay and turned to sheth...
and i joined them....
Sheth told us that he will not come for picnic as he was going bombay...
we knew that its a total fake...
so sandy told him that check your cell phone.... which network its using right now??
what you think ?? why we took the laptop at ABU??
we were watching your status through Laptop... and we found that you have not gone outside gujarat... during those days...!!
Sheth agreed like an Innocent guy and said that ya but i completed my work at my home town...
and we started laughing ....
and during lunch all were laughing by hearing this....
but on the counter part... he got agreed that he will come to next trip for sure...
so now we are planning for the next trip....

Up till that ....
I am really gonna miss this days...
I am gonna miss my ABU Trip days...!!!!

TOUR DE Mt. ABU.... Part 7....

Now .. after coming back from the sunset point...
we were wondering around the nakhi lake....
and bhargav and jalli were as usual on their hunt for girls....

Suddenly we saw one cute little boy selling bubble liquid for 10 rupee each....
RT , Sandy , Bhargav all liked that boy and we bought almost 5 bottles from him in order to help him going home early that day....
We enjoyed lot by making bubbles all around .... we gave those bottles back to him as he can use them again....

Then ... someone found one guy who was writing name on key chains .....
all wanted to buy those key chains but it was much time consuming....

Ladani , RT , Bhargav and Sandy were having thier plan for beer...
so they gave the names they wanted on their key chains and went for their beer party...
Jalli , Modi and I were there to collect those key chains....

After 10 to 15 minutes key chains were ready .... and we were going to wards the place where we called the car to take us to hotel....
but jalli was still on his hunting mission and he saw the girl he seen earlier that day... on a bike with someone...
he entered the shop for ornaments for ladies and asked me to go with him....
i remained outside with modi... and he went in....

After 2 - 3 minutes he came like a bull in arena... and told us keep moving fast....
we need to go far away from here... and that girl was after him came outside ... saying ... where are you guys????

i got the hint about situation and followed jalli with modi....
after some distance we reached a dark place where the street light was not working and jalli got some relief by noticed that no one was coming behind us...
I asked Jalli about what happened actually...
ha told that he pushed that girl somewhat forcefully in order to touch her and she was very angry for that.....
and i laughed out so hardly....
I told jalli that we were thinking that we can have some fight as you are with us.... but you are coming short to our expectation....
So he told that here its too risky we can do it if we are in our state....
He was also right...

I thinked that time that Jalli got his lasson but it was my misunderstanding... he is still on his hunting mission ....
then we reached to the hotel ... where the party of beer was going on....
the most interesting incident happened during this party...
between modi and ladani... but i will tell you that tomorrow....

TOUR DE Mt. ABU..... Part 6.....

Hello guys... I am back with part 6...

So .. we headed towards the sunset point after coming down from TOD ROCK...
As we all are IT people and passing number of days in front of a computer....
Walking a kilometer is also a heavy exercise for us...
So the climbing to Tod rock and back was the enough exercise for us...

But kathakar wanted to go at sunset point through the mountain road... by tracking...
so we all agreed with half heart...
i dont know modi looked at what ( whom?? ) he began running....
Sandy ... Bhargav also started running after him.....
and ladani was asking about the exact way to sunset point to one elder lady... (granny actually....)
I doubt now if she knows about such track or not....
And ladani called us back and told that .... the way on which we are going is for honeymoon point and we have to go at sunset point....
I tried calling to modi but they were already much far on their way ... so they kept going and we chose to go by another way....

The very first sign on that way was....
Beware of wild animals... never stay alone and dont stay up till late night....
The sign scared us right from the beginning....
but we kept going.... on the way....
almost after 20 minutes... we reached to one rock ... which was quite flat... and we took some pictures there....
i picked some snaps like ladani and jalli are having sun in their hand..... great photo....
and i told ladani that take one photo of mine... as i am holding the sun......
and what a photo he took.....
the sun is not in my hand but it is on the right side from my hand....
great work... I done a mistake by not looking at the photo that time....

now the path was downwards and we were not climbing anymore....
after some time i asked ladani that are we on the right way or missed some thing???
and ladani with a great courage told us that ... yes we are on the right track and road goes downward for a while...
but now the sun was about to set.... we were not having torch with us... no network coverage.... road was still downwards and from that side of mountain we could not see any light in Vally....
so at last ladani told that now i also scared and we can go back....
RT and jalli walked much faster then me and ladani.... on the way back to Abu....

by god's grass we came back to city without any difficulty.... but it was very scary experience.... after that we all gathered at nakhi lake...

next post is about...
jalli's adventure and sandy's nightmare.....

TOUR DE Mt. ABU... part 5....

The kathkar done a very nice katha at that afternoon in his deadly attempt to not let us sleep....
as i was not listening to that ... i only know the topic of katha and it was about " BRAHMCHARYA " ....
He talked on it for about 1 hour and modi and bhargav was the listeners....

The full katha will be written by the kathakar him self.... so i will give you the link or will be added here later....

Now it was 4 o'clock and we were all set to go out ...
there was a nice rock in front of our hotel... so we done some photography there....
the hotel's waiter came to rescue and picked some snaps.... those are the only snaps in which our whole group is there....

then after .. as per the golden advice of our team member.. Mr. Bhima...
we searched for some temple called " Adhardevi and some way where we can do tracking and we can go at some pound... nearby..."
but it was of no luck.... we found the temple but there was nothing like that way described by Bhima....
but what we found over there was priceless.....
It was a HORSE.... we picked some snaps on that horse... we gave around 30 rupees to got those snaps on that horse.....
and let me tell you the situation of horse when jalli climbed on it.....
the horse was telling that i am HORSE and treat me like HORSE.... I am not a donkey....
horse got bent on his back.... but it was a nice horse and didnt do anything to jalli... i think it was knowing that jalli can hurt him more then horse can hurt him....
then we took some tea... and nimbu pani at one shop....

then we decide to go nakhi lake and then towards sunset point....
Ladani told to go at Brahmakumari's temple which comes on the way....
it was a nice big temple and looking nice from outside....
sandy leading the group and one volunteer from temple came to him....
he asked sandy that if we have some time or not...??
Sandy thought that he will show some nice things to us and told him that we have half an hour...
And the terrible time of the whole trip began.....
He seen the religious symbol of mine and started saying against it....
I dont liked it but i never crossed him... so dont want to write it further ....

we reached st nakhi lake.... there is shop of softy ice cream.... Jalli and bhargav showed girls at that shop to sandy...
and sandy agreed to have ice cream....
I ordered ice cream for all .... we headed for the sunset point.... (of course following that gang of girls....)
sandy and jalli took some snaps of those girls from back... but i deleted it as soon as i got the digicam back...

then we first went to the famous TOD ROCK ... great experience...
i was too much tired on that rock... but we went till the top of that rock...
the view from the rock was just too good... we can see the whole lake from there....


ok guys.... time to say bye...
next post will have the thrilling experience of trip to sunset point and jalli's failed mission at ABU......

TOUR DE Mt. ABU.... Part 4...

sorry folks.... for not posting yesterday...
I broke my promise...

But it will not happen again....

So at last we reached Abu at about 12 o'clock....

now we were searching for a hotel... (cheapest possible....)
remember those odd postures people making at my room cause of water shortage in morning....

Bhargav got the pressure just after we reached abu...
He was managing him self so badly.... and i thought about adult diapers at that time.... ( i have seen it's add near by my gym...)

so went with ladani and sandy....
ladani and sandy were asking for rooms and checking the condition of room.... and at the other side bhargav completed his task in rest room....
ladani and sandy ended up with a decision that we will go for some other hotel... and bhargav was in control now....
Thank god that the manager of that hotel didnt asked for the charge of rest room.... coz it was too much expensive....

we got the rooms as per our requirements nearby and it was pretty good....
then after getting fresh we went out for lunch.....
sandy and jalli were so much desperate for non-veg food and rest of the group members are pure veg....
so it took 2 and a half round of Abu main market to decide that where we will go for lunch....

we went in a veg restaurant and sany and jalli went in a non-veg restaurant nearby ...
kathakar ... bhargav... and RT came after some time as they were buying one MP3 of new songs....
ladani got angry on me and modi that why we are taking lunch here.... but finally we managed things and set there ....

the menu of that restaurant was quite good... but that was the only good thing there....
I dont we what dishes we ordered and what we ate actually....
the sabjis were horrible and nan was some what acceptable.....
buttermilk was the worst part of our lunch there....
the waiter was the coolest man on the planet earth.... and doing the things with the speed of sloth....
somehow we finished our lunch ... by the time jalli and sandy came into restaurant and we went out from that restaurant.... we went for pan... to change the tast of mouth and mood as well....

we again reached hotel for some rest....
ladani was again on the edge that he will not let anybody to sleep....
jalli and sandy were sleeping in one room....
me , bhargav , modi and RT were in the the other room .....
and ladani entered our room and my sixth sense told me that ....
Beware ... he will not let you sleep....
as per the part of his plan he started chatting with the weakest person ... modi...
they both started conversation without any topic... and bhargav joined them....
ladani tried to pull me and RT into that ... but i managed to stay out....
I didnt got the rest which i want though... i got some of the rest which was enough for the rest of the day....

ok... guys... time is not allowing me to write any more...
but my next post will contain... our masti at nakhi lake.. and tracking to the sunset point....
both are pretty interesting.....

TOUR DE Mt. ABU... Part 3...!!!

After all those vomits and broken hands...
we got back in car with a little shuffling of sitting arrangements...

Now we were looking for a medical shop so we can save jalli and our trip as well....

After some time we got one such shop and done some bandages with jalli's hand ...
some more medicines and masti on the road...
and again headed for the Abu....

every one was hungry now..
we saw one hotel on the highway...
and asked RT about that hotel... As it was his hometown....

RT told us that its too much expensive and one nice hotel will come on the way...
so we decided to go to that hotel named hotel SAVERA.....

We have also decided that we will go to BALARAM ... which is just 5 km across the high way and a beautiful place..... (suggestion of RT again.....)

after half an hour.... I just looked back and shouted at RT....
WHERE IS THE HOTEL YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT???
I was really hungry that time and others too....

And the very clam answer from RT was.....
"It passed before 15 minutes...."

I again shouted that WHY DIDNT YOU TOLD ME THAT TIME???

after gathering the peace from whole universe he replied that ...
as you didnt stopped there ... i thought that you dont want to eat now.....

Oh my god....
how one can think that way....
some of us who can reach him easily were about to bit him....
but as it was the beginning .... we didnt want any chaos ... few of us just cursed him .... headed for BALARAM.... (RT's choice....)

He gave us some relief by saying that we can have some food at balaram....

And we reached BALARAM....

Nice and small beautiful village...
A small river side (with no water inside..) , a small temple at the river bank ... a big tree ( i dont know which tree it was...) one chai ki dukan .... That's all.....

Seems beautiful at first look....
then we came across with some strange characters there....
One three legged dog... ( barking continuously at us...)
one dog with one eye .... ( it was a looser one...)
one small boy selling chana to the tourists... ( with lots of onion , kachchi keri and salt.... chana were very less in that dish...)

The most horrible tea in my life i tested there.....
Then also ... as we were there together .... we done lots of masti out there....
There was no water in river ... then also we found on sign saying.... Dont swim....
the batter sign should be... Dont play in river.....!!!

we managed with some packed food (wafers and biscuits...)
and again headed for Abu....

enough for today....
as tomorrow is a holiday....
I will post for chatpati post.... of day 1 at Abu.....
