My Dhanno..

Finally, after convincing my parents for 6 months and in parallel surfing on net about bikes, trying some of the bike models, listening to some health care centers and some people who enjoy underestimating other people and specially girls when girls do something different than most other girls do, (Sharan, I’m not talking childish here. You should have been there when I got to hear such things), I bought new bike. \o/

If you want to have a look at it, click.

18 gears, light-weight (alloy frame) and all good things made it little (little? :D) costly. I was going to buy one with a price Rs. 4800 and just because of my height I kept on trying different models and bought this one.
I have never bought such an expensive thing for myself. My sister had bought laptop and cell phone for me. I didn’t realize it that time but today I could feel how our mind agitates when we spend more than what we had planned.

Anyway, all worry, agitation went when I rode it. :D I rode it for 9 km today. After longgggggggg I did so much of exercise and that on my favorite bike – wow! I’m gonna make my mom ride it. That’s it for today. I’ll write more when I’ll ride it more. :)

:)



You see a flower. You like it a lot! You hold it. You smell it. It fascinates you. You feel the bliss. You carry it with you. You already had a bag in your other hand. One hand carries the flower very carefully and other carries the bag. You don’t want to spoil the flower. You smell it again and again because you liked it a lot – it has become special for you. Now someone calls you up. You want to take out your mobile from your pocket. But both of your hands are busy. Oh! What will you do? You don’t want to throw the flower. But you also want to hold mobile. Now you feel the burden of your special flower. You speak - Oh I should not have carried it. I can’t throw it, I can’t hold it. (I can’t explain what flower had felt that time. I never talked to flower.) Now you say it is ok. You try to manage with it. Now you carry flower and the bag in one hand. Somehow you manage it. Wow! You still have the pretty flower. You finish your talking on phone. You keep the mobile inside pocket. Now your hand is free to take the flower. But you assume flower is safe. And it is better to have the hand free to hold something else; if needed. You keep walking. Sometimes you smell the flower but still keep walking with flower and bag in the same hand. Now you reach your destination. You keep the bag aside and check the flower. And there you see it – it is dry because you crushed it; unknowingly, unintentionally. Still you try to smell it – but it can’t make you happy now. It has died.


Was it a mistake of the flower that it became burden on the person who had no ability to handle it carefully? No. But we can’t even blame the person. It is very natural behavior of a human - to unknowingly destroy special thing and just move ahead without triggering his thought process on it. We all are like that. And why we are so – no one has the answer. But it is a truth without any theory. :)

Cohesion

I was reading the concept of Cohesion in Java and remembered of an incidence which was described in Five Point Someone.

It is a discussion between Ryan and Hari when Hari was impressed of Cherian.
Cherian gives an example of Shirt Factory, where he divides the task of manufacturing a shirt into 3 activities – cutting the cloth, stitching the shirt and sewing the buttons. And he explains how it’d we profitable to an industry if the complete task of manufacturing shirt is divided this way and given to 3 persons. He explains how it’d save time with the parallelism and also it’d need less equipments like for 3 persons, only one scissor will be needed as only one person will do cutting and blah blah blah. Of course Hari gets impressed but when he tells this to Ryan, Ryan feels disgust about reducing tailors into cloth cutters and button sewer.

How true! Business increases efficiency, productivity – but of what? Of its own. And that is how an engineer/artist becomes a worker. :)

The day your to-do list starts including activities of other persons which precede with “Getting” and end with “done”, then know that you changed the track. ;)

Trek Bike - Yeah! :)

Yeah! I rode an awesome bike today. I never rode such a fantastic bike. Once I had ridden Sharan’s, but it was just for 5 minutes and that at the parking space of Amdocs. I couldn’t even realize the difference between his and mine. I wish I had ridden it more.

If you want to see the bike I rode today – click.
For more info - click
I enjoyed it a lot, but not to the fullest. To understand its effectiveness and the difference with my fatichar (but my loving one :) ) bike, I need to explore this one more, I need to ride it on hillside area. Wow, what a thrilling experience it would be when I will ride it on hillside area. I remember when I went to Mahabaleshwar, looking at the area I wished I had taken a bike there. A bike on a hill; you are riding it; especially when you come down. Wow! I just can’t imagine. I’ll fly like a bird. :)

This bike is excellent. It takes care of itself very well and of us too. The one I rode today was bit tall for me. Still I could ride it properly. If I buy it for me for my height, I’m sure I’m going to be in love with it. Harshad, thanks a lot for showing it to me and giving me to ride. It is good that I couldn’t buy one for myself before 3 months. Otherwise I would have repented. Still I don’t know whether I will buy such an expensive bike or not. But once after riding this one, would I like to buy any other bike?

I know that all Health Care Centers around me are going to make faces when I will buy my bike. ;)
