Its been a tough week not only for me but for millions of Indians and all I can do is convey my condolences. Everybody is talking about what has happened? But why is that not one is talking about what had happened before the unfortunate event that shook India by a stride. Who is responsible for this and how could they have planned so well without getting noticed. We seriously need to understand there is a loop hole some where in our system. I am not just saying it nor blaming the government for what happened. Who could have anticipated such a tragedy. I don’t think just because some of the Ministers have resigned, what had happened would be forgotten. I challenge openly irrespective of which government this event would have happened and no one person could be blamed for it, so why play the blame game? Is politics trying to get the most of this, if so please I request the politicians to be away from this.

This is time where we as Indians should raise our voice as one and fight terrorism. It is not time to take hasty decisions neither are we going to sit down and just mourn. The people behind this should be punished and punished they will be. We should stop looking for support from other countries to fight terrorism. We are a country of more than a billion and this country has produced the best brains of the world. We have the strength and the courage to fight terrorism and we will fight it. Stop making this terrorist strike a political issue, it is an internal matter of India and we should solve it by ourselves. I do understand that a lot of foreigners have lost their lives in this tragedy and we mourn for their loses, but I still consider it as an internal affair of ours and we will strike at those who caused this.

The press has done a brilliant job, but I have to say this, they have created more panic in the society in general. This is by my own personal experience. My family members were so worried that they used to call me every half an hour concerned about me. I understand their concern, but I was more worried about the panic the news channels were creating. While they were providing so much coverage about the incident, all they could have done is provide information that other places are safe. But that wasn’t the case, and it shook the entire nation by more panic than ever.

I am not here do discuss or blame that we failed or neither it is the right platform to discuss some thing so critical and sensitive matter. Not only am I concerned but am looking forward as to how this issue would be tackled. I have been following the news channels for some time now and all I could see is that they are just repeating what has happened. The entire nation has seen what has happened, we are not longer looking for that. We are looking for our so called leaders, as to what decisions they are taking and how they are going to lead the nation. I don’t believe in politicians, but for this once I want to be wrong. I just heard that some ministers and some top ranking officials have resigned, come on people buckle up, this is not the time to run away from problems nor it is the time to blame themselves. You people know the rules of the game so play it and show the world that we have not lost, we fill fight and strike those who spread terrorism. We have been a peaceful nation for ages and let me tell you we are not push overs, our friendliness should be taken for granted, people should be taught what the repercussions would be when they strike innocent people or countries.

Let us mourn for those innocent who are dead and those gallant soliders who lost their lives saving the innocent.

My trip to Sikkim- An old one i had wrote

Where should I start from? It began on Saturday early morning (yes I woke up) at 4 AM. I would have loved to start saying a shivering cold in which I took a bath and almost froze to death. But unfortunately, it isn’t so, I woke up on a summer night in Mumbai (Guess-it was raining too) and got started. I reached the airport way before time, and was ready to start my trip, when suddenly the announcement came that the flight was delayed by an hour due to rain. I had to switch flights in kolkalta and wasn’t too nervous as I my flight from kolkata was at 12:20 PM. I boarded the flight at 6:40 AM after having a delight of early morning beauty (not sunrise but some beautiful chicks whom I have no words to describe- Man I am becoming desperate). Assuming the flight would take off on time, I doused off and woke up at 8AM to my surprise I heard the Pilot announcing that the flight is read to take off. Since there was nothing I could do I again slept.

I woke up again to the announcement that the flight is landing in Bhubaneshwar (yes I had not taken a direct flight- Very was low and convenient). It was 10:20 AM and I was a little anxious about the timing. The flight took off again at 10:45 landing at kolkata at 11:30AM. I rushed out and checked in to the other flight to Bagdogra at 11:50 (hehe- Ontime). It was a good after a good nap in the previous flight it was time to feast on the food provided onboard. Again the flight took off late and I arrived at Bagdogra at 1:40PM. I again rushed out as I had to catch a chopper to fly to Gangtok. I checked in STC (Sikkim Tourism Corporation). When I was about to board the chopper the pilot invited me saying -Welcome aboard for your Private chopper (Yes, I was the only passenger onboard). I started off at 2:05PM..

The chopper took off and man-o-man it was fun and at the same time damn scary. It was announced while taking off that the chopper would fly at an altitude of 5000 feet, but that was only at the beginning. Man once I entered the valley the altitude rose to nothing less than 20000 feet. I was damn scared with wind blowing at good speed, and the chopper making its way in the wind displacing itself some times of the course scarring the ---- out of me. I enjoyed the short flight which was not more than 35 mins with the abundance of the Himalayan beauty. I landed at Gangtok and I had my family members waiting for my arrival. I wish I had an over coat, it would have been fun while getting down(as they show in movies-ex Face-Off) with the coat overflowing and me getting down man I would have loved it, but its ok I will do that the next time I fly by a chopper. I met my family and went home, had a nice lunch (Veg -for my disappointment) and then got to play cards.

Did nothing for the rest of the day, other than playing cards and eating and planning for the next day.

I dont know where to start from. I dont remember when i created this login for blogging but was able to login:) Finally when i was sitting in office on a friday evening trying my level best "to pretend that i am working" and at the same time trying to catch up with some things which have been pending for some time now i started to write this(Thanks to my colleague-kind if inspiration)

This year as such has been a real roller coaster ride for me. Many important things have happened in this year for me. I dont know where to start my roller coaster ride. But will try to put in as and when i recollect them. So here we go..................

The year began with me joining my new company. Hmm, i was skeptical whether i had taken the right decision. The time had passed to think and i had to join the new job. Anyways i joined my new job, and actually the first couple of months was tough, i had fallen into the trap which i was always trying to avoid(As a saying from on of the recent movies goes"the more u try to avoid a trap the more vulnerable u are to fall into it" - i hope this is the exact sentence, but anycase u would have got the gist of the sentence by now - hehehehehe). I was frustrated in the begining, but as i saw my colleagues, i understood that there was no point repenting on my decision, but use this to my advantage. And use i did. I am in a much more commanding position then to what i was earlier. But the time now is such ("Recession") that even that would not help in the near future.

And here i am working happily and commanding a position at my workplace which many of my friends could only dream off.
