This week was nice. I read a complete book in a single day after so long. Its a Sidney Sheldon's book.
And I rode to IIT Powai. This was awesome! When I entered inside it, it was amazing to feel that I had come so far on my cycle. I did all wrongs and after wrongs all the rights and I reached. While coming back I hit the speed of 57kmph, I was flying. If it was 6 O’clock in the morning I would not have pressed the break of rear wheel. And I’m sure speed would have been more than 70kmph. Wow! Next time, I’ll leave at 530 to get that speed. The high jump from 12km total to 27km was good in all. And while coming back coincidently I met Pranit and his parents. That was an additional bonus of getting appreciated. ;)
Starting weekend early helped.
I didn’t talk about 2 books that I read few days back. One is Tuesdays with Morrie. Robin Sharma and I think that everyone should read it atleast once! The other book was Life and Times of Hitler – a small book. It influenced me to read history of India and contemporary world.

:)
I believed it again – If you wish something, just make a true desire of it. Bring all positivity into it; from all possible means. Read self help books, meet people who inspire you, read their blogs, read inspiring articles, feel the positivity, bring it from anywhere. And then make the true desire. Destiny will have to give it to you.
And if you don’t get it, if you think you are not able to get all the positivity with you, then that thing is not for you; atleast at that point of time. You might get it at right time. That time, nobody will have to tell you to make a true desire and bring positivity into your thoughts. You’ll do it automatically and you’ll get it. We need to wait! :)
It reminds me of a mail once a friend had sent me. It said – Some people are like bamboo. Bamboo takes 5 years to get the first leaf on it. It takes time to get the power to grow. But when it starts growing, it hits the sky in short time. Bamboo is the tallest grass. So don’t ever criticize yourself. Keep building the power inside you. Positive results will have to come out once.
One more example another friend had given me. Filter coffee. Why filter coffee tastes better than ordinary coffee? Because it has undergone all processing with no shortcuts and no adjustments of taste. It takes time to get prepared. But once it is prepared it tastes the best. Same way we have to put our efforts in whatever we wish to do. Don’t lose faith in yourself. Move at your own pace. One day will be yours. :)

Just like that! :)
Just now, I watched a scene from Wake up Sid on “movie on demand” channel.
It was the scene when Konkana goes with Rahul khanna for a musical program. She says she likes Bollywood songs because they can be easily sung. And with this sentence of hers, he calls her immature. And she gets upset. Before few days if someone called me a child by my behavior, it didn’t matter to me. Rather, I used to be happy that I still have not got all worries that all adults have. I still am not scared of doing impractical things which might be risky but will make me happy. I still do mischief with my friends, my parents and make them smile. I was happy to be a child. But now it is not the age to be a child. Because I have observed that children get ignored easily. They are taken for granted. Many times they remain unanswered. And most importantly, they are considered poor in knowledge or foolish. It is true. It happens with me too. It is a lesson for me. I need to grow up; for myself. Everyone realizes this at early age. I realized it now. Doesn’t matter. Better late than never. :)
The next part of the scene was – she reaches home with bad mood. Everything at home is just the way she wants it to be. But still she keeps talking with irritation to Ranveer. Then he starts pouring water on her face, hair and she starts smiling again. How true! Whenever something is wrong with us, every right thing looks wrong. We need to do some strange, childish but bliss-giving act. And we feel better. Childish things are not bad at all.. but for others. Not for that child. :)

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