Mr. Bari gets engaged

On 21^st April 07 Mr. Bari was engaged to Sheetal in Yavatmal. Gracing the occasion from BloodyMaryBoyz were me and Prasanna.

It was a grand occasion as many relatives from both sides were present to bless the newly engaged.

Here’s wishing Hearty Congratulations from all BloodyMaryBoyz to Avinash for finding his better half and we all will mourn for the last bachelorhood days remaining for him.

As for me, I wont ever forget this engagement as I had forgotten the only jeans I was supposed to bring along with me. I was left with the option of wearing my kurta on a pajama (which had knee pockets). Finally I wore Avinash’s jeans who has a waist size of 30 compared to mine of 34.

Now don’t get into much detail as to how I wore it … ;-)

Mockingbird

Today I completed reading 'To kill a mockingbird' by Harper Lee. Its a nice story about a town in America in 30's. Harper Lee narrates the story thro' the eyes of Scout finch, an 8 year old daughter of a lawyer. Her lawyer dad is defending a black man who is charged of rape of a white girl. How the people in the town react to this stuff is narrated by Scout in subtle humor.

All in all a must read. Its not for nothing this book has won a Pulitzer.

LCD Monitor

On Sunday, I became the proud owner of a 17 inches LCD monitor. Its a Samsung Syncmaster 740N. Moving from a 14 inches CRT to this one is really cool. And if u have this wallpaper of Shilpa Shetty and a docket application which is just like Apple Mac's and you use a theme like this one you will never wanna leave your computer for anything... :-) Ok that was a bit hyped but it looks damn cool. Wanna know more about the monitor? Well, here it is.

Spectacular Sunday….

Spectacular Sunday….

Once again the Bangalore boyz spent their weekend with a blast. And yes…. It was a real blast… blasts from the jet engines of our air force fighter planes…. The occasion was Aero India 2007, which displays the latest air power India have…. Display which will be never forgotten…..

We started at 7:30 in the morning… since the air force base was around 35+ km from our house, we loaded our self with detailed route map to the place. Finding our way, we reached the air force base at 8:30 and found that we were not the first to arrive. There were already loads of people waiting to get in to the ticket counters at the gates which opened soon. …..

Finally we were in the display area and grabbed our seats in the 2nd row from front… place where we can see the runway…. And then waited for the show to start…. And show started, but with a very small plane flying with the aero India banner at its back…. After it landed, the announcer told to watch the sky from where the sky divers jumped from a helicopter …. As there parachutes opened, we were able to see the tri colour parachute… And then the actual show started as the sarang team with their three dhruv helicopters started to display ….. the helicopters was just doing thing which you cant imagine ….. moving ahead, sideways, and also back, they displayed great stunts....

And then came the fighter planes….to start was the Gripen … it positioned itself on the runway, ready to take off…. And there it started rolling…. And in no time was airborne…. The sound of the jet engines was amazing… just flying 300 – 400 feet above ground, the air display it showed was just amazing which cannot be described in words…. You have to be there to see it…. Hats off to the fighter pilots….. Then came the F16, F18, the Russian MIG, Sukhoi, and our own Indian made world smallest fighter jet, Tejus. All off them just blasting their jet engines at full throttle at the speeds of 800 to 1200 km per hour … In between some heavy duty as well as small planes displayed their abilities….

Then the grand finale…. The Suryakiran team… 9 aircrafts flying together in a formation just 3 to 5 meters apart…. All of the nine aircraft took off the ground simultaneously …. It looked spectacular with all the 9 planes taking off at same time with A.R. Rehamans “Vande Mataram” been played at the back ground … Once they were air borne, they displayed precision great stunts for 20 mins…..

All together it was a great experience that can be experienced again and again…..
Next Aero India show is in 2009, and hope that all BloodyMaryBoyz will be here to witness the gr8 event…..

Its time to Fly High....

Its Time to Fly High.....26th January 2007. India's 58 Republic Day. At the start in the school this day use to wake up early and force us to go to school for the flag hosting ceremony. When we got into the college life we forgort that INDIA Celebrates Republic Day....We only knew that 26th Jan is a Holiday for us to sleep in the bed till the sun is over the head and this continued but 26th January 2007 was a Day on which something we were going to do which had not done anytime, we had just seen it on TVs. Two of the Daring BloodyMaryBoyz this time had decided to Sail in the Air.....Yes Sail in the Air. Prasanna Bari & Avinash Bari had registered for Parasailing Event organised some 50km away from Bangalore. We started from Honeywell Campus at around 9am & reached the open grounds at around 10:30am. The Vendors from Club Nisarga were waiting for our group to start the Event. After a waiting for few hours our turn came to wrap the harness agaisnt us & tie the Parachute on the shoulder & the rope attached to Gypsy on our waist and we were ready to lift from the ground & be in the place where there is no land beneath your feet. Its an amazing feeling to fly in the air. Even though the event just take hardly 2min to complete its a experience of lifetime. This event has inspired us to go more higher & touch the sky and sooner than later we.....The BloodyMaryBoyz will be ready to jump off a plane & glide like a Bird to mark the opening of New Venture of the World of Para-Diving.....

Three Cheers for BloodyMaryBoyz
Hip Hip Hurray....

Hand in Neck

It was 1am of 12th Oct. Ballya wind up the work and kicked his Bike.
After reaching 50-60m from office he found the Street Lights sleeping.
He was in 4th Gear with Increasing Speed at 40kmph when suddenly Ballya found that he and his bike are separated and rolling instead of running. Both of them rolled for around 8-10m when Ballya knew something happened. The Dogs around were shouting on him may be he hit one of them. When he tried to lift the bike he felt pain in left wrist. Somehow he started the bike but was not able to use left hand. He halted under a street lamp ahead and discovered that there are major bruising on his left wrist. Somehow he managed to drive bike with right hand till home. Once he reached home he had more discoveries that he had injured his right knee, right elbow and left wrist. He also had a watch with broken glass and a jacket with multiple strips. In the morning he went to Hospital and had the dressing up done and took rest in Home but with
enthusiasm to inform the BloodyMaryBoyz he took the efforts to post the Terrifying Picture of him.

Bloodymaryboyz on sea sand

23 Sep 06 one more trip to the dream destination of BloodyMaryBoyz begun. This time the Gang members were Me, Ballya, Avya & the only driver Pashya. The engines were fired at 5am in morning. The roads were ready with the Green Carpets on the side to welcome and join us in our journey. After having Vada Pav at Shirwal we entered Mahabaleshwar which was covered with white carpet which cannot be described in words. The ambenali ghat was excellent where we halted near a waterfall. We reached Murud at around 11am. The road to resort was water lagged. The last visit anyone had made to the Resort was way back on 17th July. A cyclone warning was given so we were unsure abt the weather but by our luck it was beautiful weather with Blue-Black Skies and no rains and warm sunrays. Once we settled the Beer Bottles Open. Its an amazing experience to have chilled beer in the afternoon and tht too with beauty of Sea Beach in ur sites. 5 bottles were emptied and then we went to have fun in the sea. This time I decided to enter in the sea with my glasses and soon I knew tht was not a good thing to do since a Wave as if slapped me and took my Glasses in the ocean. We looked for the glasses without any success so we decided to stop the hunt and continue play. Its said tht the ocean gives back what it takes and this was true, I felt something at my feets and soon found tht it was my lost glasses, it was a miracle. This time respecting the Sea Gods I went and kept my glasses secured in the room. Then we decided to take rest and move back and open the bottles of Bacardi. It continued for sometime and we were served with delicious Sea Food. The darkness had already taken over and it was time to rest our eyes too. The Next morning we had excellent Kande Phohe for Breakfast and went to the beach where we played Cricket for sometime. Now it was time to open the Bottles of Beer....Ahhhhh......tht was the relief with the 1st sip. We left Murud after having lunch and decided to take the Tamhini route. All the way we could see only 4 colors green, blue, white, grey. One impossible event which happend was Mr. Bhusari got a spash on his head with a kabutar shit even when he was siting inside a car speeding with 100kmph. The evening took over and we started with tamhini ghat. We reached Pune and decided to have a Beer before going home so we landed in Oasis. The journey ended at 10pm when finally everyone reached their home and the Goddess of Sleep took us with her................

Donated blood for 1st time

Today Pashya (kalya) and myself celebrated Friendship Day by donating blood. We were both first timers. The last time I tried was when a blood donation camp was organised in our college. I did all the formalities and was in the queue with other friends with the blood collecting rubber bag in my hand. The last thing I remember was that I saw one of my friend's arm being pricked by the needle. The next moment when I woke up, I was on floor and 10 people were surrounding me. Since that day, I was somewhat afraid of the whole stuff despite having the urge to donate blood. But today I kept all the past aside and went ahead for it. The one thing I did today was not to have a look at blood and it all went well.

A nice poem on friendship....The Last Leaf

Was thinking of old friends today
And how many of them have slipped away.
Moved, got married, or stopped calling so much,
Found new friends, got busy, and just lost touch.
It reminded me of falling leaves.
Every autumn the leaves fall from the trees.
Some stay longer than others, but eventually -
Each leaf must fall, I'm told,
Leaving the tree alone to face the cold.
Why is it that in the time of utmost need
The leaves would seek to leave the tree?
And when we need our friends around
We look and they can not be found?
Of course these friendships come and go
And in the spring new leaves will grow.
But I prefer autumn friends of old
With crackling laughter and colors bold.
It saddens me now I must admit
How somehow, someway, I did forget
Laughing with old friends of mine
During summers when the sun would shine.
And then I thought of you.
That one stubborn leaf that won't let go.
That clings despite the winds that blow.
Fighting ice, and snow, and winter's stings
Hanging on right through till spring.
So I guess that's what you are to me -
The very last leaf to leave the tree.
I know it seems silly, but it's true.
When I see that last leaf...I think of you.

Brisbane Bus Stop

This is the bus stop where Prasanna has started reading an autobiography of Steve Waugh. Rather unusual place to read a book if you consider replicating the same in India.

Australia beckons

Some 10 days after our trip to Murud beach this guy in the foto, Prasanna, got a chance to work in the land of Kangaroos. Now he is living in an apartment with a beach nearby. But he is doing what he can do best, having beer. Of the many things he is also dreaming of kicking hard on my ass when he comes back. I guess he is getting bored coz in kangaroo land they don't serve Bedekar misal, kokam Sharabat, Bhindi fry and above all he is missing the gr8 saturday nights we enjoy in India. Come with the nicest champagne the aussies have on offer mate and don't forget the bet...:-)

Murud trip in March 06

Graffitti in a dhaba

In the first week of March, we had again been to the marvellous murud beach on western coast of Maharashtra. I dont think we will ever stop coming to this magnificent beach. This time around we hired a boat n sailed in to see the dolphins. We had all seen them for the first time. We were having a time of our life in the sea, with beer and Tukaram's khana. The foto in this post is taken in a dhaba on our way back from the beach. All these snaps are taken by our latest gadget Sony K750i.
