Moving Ahead

I have received a job offer (which I will say a good offer) and I am going to take it. In this economy the priority should be to start working. It's important to move ahead and start building upon what is in hand than to wait for something better.

The most interesting part is, now Priya and I can start living together as a family. We both are excited and looking forward to setup our home which will be from scratch. There is small edge of financial woos, but together We Will Tackle it. I will share the pics and more news about our home in coming weeks.

Upcoming months have some fun-fill events lined up, hopefully we will get to enjoy all of them. To name a few,
1. Diwali
2. (probably) A Lavish wedding in Gujarat at inlaw's place
3. 1st Wedding Anniversary
4. Nilesh will be in India around end of the year. And we are planning for a tour either to Rajasthan or to Andamaan.

Stay tune...

A Story of 3 Rs……..

Today I will share with you A Story of 3 rs… Before going to that, lets talk about how happening day it was.

Promit is moving out of this city, out of this country to pursue higher education in London and that too @ London School Of Economics, Yes the Prestigious University of Europe. I met him @ Pune Eat Outs meet and soon we became good friends. Before flying he decided to treat to some of his friends in town and My name was there on the invitation card :) . When he asked me for the place in KP Area, there was no option other than Masala Mélange . Earlier I had decided not visit the place at least for next one year without my perfect company. But when he asked about the location, I wasn’t aware that, he will invite me as well :) Only thing which I managed is not to sit on the upper deck :). Anyways, I was talking about Promit’s party. So we had a wonderful lunch and got a chance to meet some real nice people too. Then for the first time in my life, I stepped in side those Cane Doors of German Bakery, it was a long due and that cause lack of 3 Cs – Chance, Courage and Company. This time everything was set and then I had a day of my life. I tried out their Chocolate pudding, A Choco Truffle Cake, Few Cookies and believe me all of them were yummy and not too heavy on pocket as well. Ohh…. How can I forget to mention that funny incident, As most of you know, German Bakery is for all kinds people (provided you have money in pocket, and that’s quite reasonable) right from normal foodies like me and my friends , those Osho followers, lots of tourists, love birds and gays too :P, apparently Paresh saw one over there and then rest of the time he was mimicking him and his actions, that was a real funny part of it.

Even before I can say Good-Bye to Promit, Yogesh called up and reminded the appointment with the Future J Now this is something I can’t share with you people right now. It’s a long way to go for that. Once me, Yogesh, Manisha and Vikram completed the formalities for future plans and Mocha was waiting for us on the next door step. As it was Saturday, the place was overcrowded and as Adil, the ex-manager of Mocha and fellow PEOmate was no longer there, We had to stand in a queue. :- But what follows it was the Casablanca Hookah & a Strawberry Shake. Last time when I visited Mocha, we were sitting in the balcony sipping the Chocolate shake full of cream and that too after having a heavy dinner @ Masala Mélange.

On our way back to home, Manisha asked Yogesh about the Long drive plan. This entire week was too hectic on me, I really wanted to smell fresh air, so I joined them and later Vikram and Chaavi also agreed to come. So here we 5, clock ticking to 7.30 PM and we headed towards the plush roads of Pirngut and Mulshi. It was an action pack drive, switching off the headlights and driving in the dark, O’ you could actually feel the thrill…. By the time I reached back to Home, England was trailing behind by 350 runs and had to score 180 runs more with 3 wickets in hand to save the Follow on.

Once again I ditched the Chetan’s call for a game of pool. Next week I have to find out some time for Pool Game.

Its 3.50AM now. Feeling too sleepy to write anything further. I know that, Story of 3Rs is yet unsaid, but I will definitely bring it to this blog, tomorrow or day after tomorrow… Just a hint to that story is, “Whenever I have such a great day full of fun, the memories of that day comes back to my mind, the cost which I paid for that Wada-Pav. I had a lessoned for my life on that day……”

Friendship Day Special .....

Wish You All A Happy Friendship Day!!!


Chasing Cars is one of my favourite song and close to my heart as well. There are quite a few songs which actually touches your heart and this one is one of them. Enjoy....



We'll do it all
Everything On our own
We don't need Anything Or anyone

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world

I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel

Those three words,
are said too much
they're not enough

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

Let's waste time
Chasing cars

Around our heads
I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old

Show me a garden that's bursting into life

All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes

They're all I can see
I don't know where
Confused about how as well

Just know that these things
Will never change for us at all

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

A Friend Forever ....


A Friend is leaving tomorrow…. To chase her dreams. It’s been almost 7 months since we met each other. When I was kid, my father used to told me, Always adapt good habits, they will return Good & Sweet Fruits in life. One of them is to eat different cuisines at different places. That’s what brought us on the same dinner table. First time I was late for the PEO meet and that delay proved a turning point in my life. The only vacant place on the dinner table was on very same table where S was sitting. That delay gave me a Friend for life :)

We share lots of things, like having similar taste for Food and always ready to explore new food joints. Later we came to know that there is something more which bonds us together, “Movies” and that too off beat cinemas. Next 7 months proved a great time of my life. She became my tutor to many new things right from Rock to Sitcoms. Her blog provided the 360 degree view of her thoughts, approach to life. Solid thought process, Always ready to take on the challenges, while supporting her, keeping her spirit high, even I started looking the things with different views. This ignited the old dream of mine to pursue higher studies in States. The previous delay of 2 years to opt for it, was making to completely forget about it, beside there was no one to guide me. She became my senior and helped me out for the same. Now I need to deliver the promise, which I made to my bro, sis and my friend.

Just a few lines which came to my mind other day….

Clock is ticking faster,
Days are getting over,
A Friend is leaving me alone,
Leaving behind the same pain,
When Soul leaves the body….

Saira Bhair

When I posted my first marathi poem on this blog, http://manodeeps.blogspot.com/2007/06/saree-pavasaachya.html most of the friends who read it started asking me lots of questions. All of them were direct or indirect attempts to figure out whether Mannu is in love or on the verge of it. :)



For me, its not neccessary that I should be in any specific phase to understand the situation or express feelings related to it. I am comfortable in getting into someone else shoes to understand What/How she or he is going through, what will be the mental situation of it and then the way out of it. But it seems that, this world believes in Hard Proofs, so I decided to come up with something exactly opposite to my previous poem. This time I tried to figure out how one will be feeling, once he entered into that path of love, which sometime turns into an illusion, whether he will end his journey by cursing to himself or will go on and on to find the destination.



I have very simple philasophy of life,

Everything in Life Has A Beautiful Ending,

If its not beautiful.....

Then Be Sure its Still Not The End.... :)


Now do read this poem called "Sair Bhair" and let me know, what you think :-) Some of you might find it heavily loaded with difficult Marathi words, but I couldn't resist my self from using them....


सैरभैर
सैरभैर झालोय मी या वादळात
वाट शोधतोय घरटयाची ॥ध्रु॥

कधी होते मार्ग माझे सरळ,
नव्हते त्या वर कोणते वळण,

एक दिसी मज दिसले ती, भासली मॄगनयनी,
त्या नयनांच्या शोधात, हरवलो या रणात

सैरभैर झालोय मी या वादळात
वाट शोधतोय घरटयाची ॥ध्रु॥

अजाणता होतो मी, ना होती समज भल्या-बुऱ्याची,
गेलो त्या मॄगजळाच्या शोधात, अन हरवलो या रणात

झाला चातक माझा त्या वर्षाराणीपोटी,
आस होती प्रेमाच्या वर्षावाची, पण हरवलो या रणात

सैरभैर झालोय मी या वादळात
वाट शोधतोय घरटयाची ॥ध्रु॥

पण धीर अजून सुटला नाही,
या वेड्या-वाकड्या वळणातूनही मिळेल सरळ मार्ग,

मिळेल मज ला वाट या रणातही,
नेईल ती मला त्या मॄगनयनीपासी

या वाटेवरी असेल ते वॄंदावन,
जेथे मिळेल चातकाला प्रेम-अमॄताचे डोह

...मनोदीप
