Kung Fu Panda

Watched Kung Fu Panda.
Okayish movie.. but I liked few dialogues like –
“There are no accidents.”

“The mind is like dishwater, my friend. When it is agitated, it becomes difficult to see. But if you allow it to settle, the answer becomes clear.”
“There is no price for awesomeness”

“There is no secret ingredient in making special. To make something special you just have to believe it’s special.”

Also, you can find its nice review here
Read Problems and Solution fields of the above review. ;)

Start of the weekend

Saturday 645 in the morning– I left for cycling, went to ride on Airoli-Mulund Bridge and it was fun. Slopes upwards and downwards, adjusting gears accordingly, feeling the breeze of air, nice road, less pollution and my first ride to go towards Mumbai side; I enjoyed. It is very small bridge though; only 4.5 km. I covered it in 20 min. It was best on downward slope when speed reached 54kmph. I rode it at 18th gear. After riding bike on front 3rd gear, it is very boring to ride even on 2nd gear. Forget about 1st gear then. Today I could effectively enjoy the gear system. Otherwise, till now I always put it on 10th gear and forgot about it.

When I was coming back, I was riding it towards east. And it was the exact time of sunrise. Sun was looking like a red-orange balloon. And it started peeping from the mountains. And slowly it started moving up. Yes, sun rose the same way it raises usually. There was nothing new or unordinary. But still दिल खुश हो गया! I had almost fallen in love with the sun when I had read Mrutunjay. And today it reminded me of that again.

Odds and ends

Last 2 weeks.. They were different. They were full of excitement, depression, also the happiness. I was following different paths at the same time. Or was I getting all flavors on the same path? Who knows?

***

People will throw mud on you and won’t allow you even to clean it.

***

We all forget to tell someone that he is very nice, he behaved bravely, he was very good at certain moment etc. But we can’t keep mum when someone is not doing, talking the way we feel is correct.

***

My buy of bike was also different than usual. I hardly go for shopping (exception – books). And even if I go, my shopping finishes in one shop in very small time. But this time it was long journey. I actually checked models online, I tried few of them properly. I had to convince my parents. I had to bear the laugh of others when I brought out the topic of bicycle. One reason – my health. (Everyone thinks I’m not strong enough to ride bicycles for long) The other reason – I don’t want to predict it. People like to oppose for no reason. Anyway, I didn’t care of the second reason. But for first reason, I know how to overcome it. I think I *can* do it. So there was no reason to think on people’s opposition. How can I forget? There was one more reason I heard. It was so weird, I couldn’t stop laughing. The reason is that only dabewalas and kamwalis ride cycle in Pune. :P

And I am shocked with the people’s attitude about bicycle here. In Europe, many people use bicycles for their daily travel. In most of the western countries, it’s the same. Bicycles give you so many benefits. First, you get good exercise. Your stamina improves. You can reduce the pollution around you. Thus it is good for your health and for that of others too. And people laugh here on such an intelligent thing. My reason to buy cycle is that I like it to ride it. Unfortunately my parents are not allowing me to ride it on Pune’s rule breaking traffic. Otherwise it would have been very nice to ride it at least for 10km every day. Anyway, I’ll wait for that too. ;)

Till then I can enjoy it on Mumbai’s street. :)

Life is random; absolutely random. A single incidence can change the whole picture. We need to accept every picture and whenever it changes, we need to adjust ourselves to fill colors in it the way we want. Some people change the colors, brushes, directions and try to make it again the way it was. Some of them like the new one and continue with it without changing the colors, brushes and directions. Or some choose different options with different changes in the picture. Again, it is also absolutely random.

***

Some doubted whether I’m really a software engineer. This was momentarily depressing. But I move at my own pace. Let people doubt anything. They can’t judge me on a single incidence. Still, निंदकाचे घर असावे शेजारी!

***

When we ask some people if what we did is right or wrong, they will always say no, giving me all the reasons why I’m wrong. Whenever I will be in doubt whether I’m doing wrong or right I need to ask such people their opinion. I will get more confidence in continuing what I’m doing. ;)

***

We hold some dream. We wait for it for long. And it comes true at wrong time. And we can’t accept it. In fact we refuse. The moment when we refuse it is a nice experience. We should keep getting it. :)

***

Today I went with all my chandal choukdi.. I always feel nice when I meet them. :)

Happy Valentine day to all!

एक वेड़ीची चारोळी

इथे मी सोडून
सगळ्या शहाणयांची वस्ती आहे
मलाही तेच हवय - मला वेड म्हणून का असेना
पण सगळ्या मध्ये वेगळ् उठून दिसायची मस्ती आहे
