Masked!

Ever Since this Deadly H1N1 Virus was off from Mexico, Its become a nightmare here in Bangalore the IT Capital of India. 17 Deaths of the Billion Population now! and people are already Panicking! yes why wouldn't they in country like India anything is possible. specially Bangalore is a too much hyped up! I could see people in the streets, educated, uneducated Auto wala , Rikskaw wala. Pan wala , Medical Shops .. Every 1 Wearing masks! I went to the medical they mentioned sorry sir we are out of stock! I felt like i was in a alien land . People were masked! The question that was running through my mind was should i be masked as well? Pls see the picture to find out the answer for yourself. Yes I was masked!

Carthik The Oracle DBA or The Standup Star!

My Career was always a dileama . I really dint know what be in life! Here i am sitting at Oracle Corporation the leading enterprise software company as a slave to computers. I really don't know whether its by choice or force. As humas we'd want to do N things in life. But how many are we efficiently able to do is a question mark!

I started off this post with all enthusiasm but, it took me over a month to get back and start writing this post. Well, to tell you more... I have had this unique talent of creating small jokes in a jiffy. My colleagues always suggested that i was in the wrong place doing the wrong thing in life. I should Rather be a stand up star. Someone like Russell Peter's , Sugar Samy, Chris Rock etc etc... I always felt good. Not one or 2 millions of them suggested me a career move. But Kya kare... Like the Old Hindi Saying Goes "Papi Peth Ka Sawaal Hai" Meaning All for a smooth living i cant quit my job. I was so much into stand up comedy that i went on to research for Stand up schools in London. Well the research ended there.

But then this spirit is rekindled in me now because , i have a Innovative manager now who's popularly known as Jigs you could otherwise call him Mr Hillary. You know Hes one of the Kind. If you ever want your kids to give an example of how Mr Edmond Hillary or Tensing Norgay look and behave like you could always quote him! You could probably video tape one of his speech's. When i think of all i do and want be in life. YES the answer lies in or rather my heart tells me that i m More Of a Stand up Star than a self sucking Software Engineer. The feeling of making 10 ppl laugh is simply amazing! They want more stuff from you. Your only motto in life is to find stereotypes in life. Quote them and they'll laugh! Mind you ! you get paid quick bucks for it!

So for now i m stuck to "Papi Peth Ka Sawaal Hai" leading a dogie style life. Making some one richer and richer shattering my dreams. One Day i m sure i ll be on my own as a Stand up Star! I can only imagine my Guru Russell Peter's Quote! If i Go to America and get White Women Then I am ahead of the Game!

Cheers,
Carthik

Bangalore To Chennai A Sucker Of A Journey!

Again Its been a while that i did my favorite thing yeah, Blogging it is. Yes my friends, i m back again sitting at home, fed up with the kind of work i do. Writing this blog, hoping this relieves all the pressure that go through. I was traveling to Chennai from Bangalore city on the 17th Of July 2009. My destination was home! The Rail boxes were kinda empty. I was hoping that i could relax, sleep like a log and then read some magazines on the way to chennai. Stations's Passed by... I was again fooled by the Indian population , crowd started coming in. I was getting restless and irritated as usual. I believe we reached KR Puram Junction. Where a 3 yr old kid Malawika gave a guest appearance along with her parents. Time went on slowly.... Mind you it was a 6 hr journey. In the next station 2 huge a double rhino sized aunty's entered the compartment. My Luck was so bad, they sat next to me! The last thing that i could remember after they sat next to me was "I was their piece of Meat" I dint get enough space to sit in my seat. They would buy some shit smelling flowers, start tying them on a thin rope, Aewh! It was awful! I never had such a horrific experience in a train journey! while my train Journey had already become a sucker of a journey! I decided to take a U turn...

Here's what the U turn is. Malawika the Kid who was sitting bang opposite to me, I started to converse with her, asking few things about her name school.. best friends etc.. it was when i had traveled 4 hrs and i had 2 hours in my bag. The conversation became interesting, The kid started liking me and she looked at my guitar and asked what it was. I explained her and she wanted to play the guitar! WOW... I thought her how to play a D chord :) The kid would ask me Uncle this is too big for me will i get a small guitar ;) Yeah u will i said... So the last 2 hours of my Journey was entertained! Wow wat a difference form a sucker of a Journey to a Pleasant memorable experience. I really felt refreshed and nice by the time i reached chennai. I narrated this whole incident to my family members and they had to laugh about it :) Finally when it was time to say god bye the kid tells me why don't u come with us to our place ;) Indeed it was this kid who changed my mood from a Sucker of a Journey to a memorable , pleasant , and fun filled one!

Cheers,
Carthik
