AM PM confusion in train timings in India, Indian Railway website

This topic might seem very trivial in first glance but is a serious problem in India. We Indians have a mentality of day timing according to God Sun with sunrise and sunset. So the 24 hr clock creates lot of confusion there. We are used to of 12 Hr timings where 5 AM to 5 PM is day and 6 PM till next morning is night. And thats where the problem is.. as after 11:59 of midnight.. next day starts .. where we are in mindset of the night of the same day. I am putting this in blog because recently two of my friends missed there trains that were scheduled at 1:00 AM. That was the very early morning ( i.e. night of the previous day) but it was confused with the night of same day. Alas!! Even with a recent incident I let my 2nd friend do that .. (height of idiotism and ignorance) .
For example if train is scheduled to depart at 1:20 AM of 7th November, you need to get at station at the night of 6th November.
However, it's never too late. So I am sharing this with all. Be very very careful whenever you book a railway ticket and your train is at midnight or say between 00:00 to 04:00 hours. (As luckily for us 5 AM is morning of same day :-).
Always check detailed train schedule from eRail.in or www.trainenquiry.com to avoid any confusion.

A fruit wala, A bus wala and we

Today morning while coming to office what I saw is worth sharing. I saw something really good which revived my belief that we are still a supportive and cooperative and society, not just busy in our own things.
We were crossing Basantkunj-Mahipalpur road on my way to Gurgaon. In the mid of road a fruit vendor, whose cycle was probably got misbalanced by the coming bus, had all his fruits fallen on the road. That guy were standing there helpless putting his cycle aside from road. The bus driver probably had some sympathy and didn’t run over his fruits. I and my friend Akash realised that clearing of this will take time and may cause a traffic jam and also in the worst case the bus might have to move forward crushing the whole day’s business of that poor guy. I parked my car at side of the road and we came forward help that guy in collecting all fruits and putting back in the basket.
And suddenly what I saw was surprising…. One scooter guy and one motor bike also stopped and few pedestrians crossing the road also came forward. And there were about 6-7 people, to join this altruism. And in less than 2 minutes, it was all clear. Wow!!! We were so happy to see this!! This would have been really a motivating and feel good incident for all viewers there. Then we took a sigh of relief that it’s not only American’s, we also have a culture to help and support others. India is changing, and as our father of the nation said… Be the change you want to see.

Life of a girl

Padma
"This is story of a girl Padma. Padma, she was like any other girl and this story can be true for any girl in this world.
Padma was a small and beautiful girl of a small city. She had very loving parents and a younger brother too. She was just a 11 years small kid in a school. Till she was in class five, her father use to take her to school everyday. This birthday she got a bicycle in present. She was now old enough to go to her school on a bicycle. She loved it always and used to fly on it. She didn't know what a new world she is going to face while going alone to school. 
It was just another day of for her.She was going to school. Suddenly she noticed that there are few guys, following her on cycles. they were staring her and passing some comments on her. She was little scared, but She ignored them for once. She started pushing paddles faster and soon get ahead of those guys and reached school. She was wondering whole day why those guys were behind her and what they were talking about.
Next day she started early for school.. and again she noticed same boys chasing her.. this time they were just beside her. They were laughing vigorously and passing some comments that she could not understand.. but she soon realized that something wrong was happening. It felt somebody abusing you upfront. She looked down and moved fast to the school. After those guys went to some other way, she saw some laborers siting besides the road. They started gazing her in a very disgusting way and were passing comments. She was burning with angst for this humiliating behavior. And things got regular now.. everyday she was followed by those guys and she had to face there dirty comments.
One day it was too much for her. When she came home, she cried in front of mirror.. she was very confused and were asking a question to probably herself or to the God that why this is happening to her. What is her fault? Is it so difficult to be a girl? She didn't tell this to her parents thinking not to bother them. She decide to face this. But this has put a very bad impression on her about how boys are. She almost started hating Man. And she decided to hide this girl inside a shield .. where she buried all the softness of a girl!
She had decided to close this chapter. It was a regular day. She started from her house and those guys again joined her. They were making strange postures looking at her. She could not understand what it meant but it was clearly very abusing and offensive for her. The next road was just a few meters behind the school and there was a small traffic signal.
She stopped there for a while and just behind her were those devil boys. She was determined what to do. She came down from bicycle and looked upon them, the guys were little surprised at this behavior. But seems they were enjoying it. Soon they realized the anger in her gaze. She moved towards them, and there laughter turned into silence. She was now just a foot away from them. She didn't say anything and just kept on gazing them. Now guys were little afraid but one of them pretended to be very daring .He came towards her and he was about to say something, than suddenly there was a blasting sound.." tadak" and the boy fell down. He couldn't bear the slap filled with anger and revenge that Padma was having in her heart from those 10 days. It came as a outburst and revealed the level of torture she were facing.
All of them were stunned. Everybody on street was looking at these people. Some people tried to came near them. But those guys already had their lesson. They didn't say a word and rushed fast on there cycles and never appeared before her after that day.
Padma's outburst was visible as drops of tears from her eyes.
She reached home and didn't say a world to anyone.
She was just thinking , why people don't think how a girl feels. Why they always see her with an eye filled with lust and hunger. Why her self respect is pierced and wounded everyday.
And she had no answer !!!!
But that day she decided to face this world. She was not going to be a weak girl.. she will face this man's world and that she is not going to remain silent."

THE END

This story seems to be a happy ending story. But let me tell you that you cant feel even a bit of the mental harassment a girl feel in this world every day. Not just some low class gunda type elements are the crusher of their dignity, all of the man seems to be always ready to eat them out. Its so disgusting. Many of us cant even imagine the level this torture, because our sisters, mothers or daughters never told us how difficult and painful it is for them. Since the age as small as 8, they start facing the cruel eyes of this world. Why they don't have the freedom and luxury(?) of moving out freely. If you feel even a single% of the pain of a woman, and if you really want to eliminate such thing that "its very difficult for a girl to live gracefully in this world".. please stop such things. Why should a girl do all the adjustments. Why everyday is so challenging in their life? Why all restrictions are for girls only. When we will be having a society where a woman will not be treated like a peace of meat for a hungry wild animal!!
I have put every thing very simple words but I hope you can imaging the degree of abusive behavior girls face in our society. This seems to be a deep routed evil in our society but lets change our mindset and that of your youngsters. So that our next generation could breath freely in this world. its said that in a society where woman is worshiped a goddess, God himself reside there to bless it.
"Yatra naryastu pujyante, Ramante tatra devata??"
यतृ नार्यस्तु पुज्यनते, रमन्ते तत्र देवता

If you cant worship them, at least respect them as a human being.

trip to Skandagiri and Nandi hills bangalore


(Panorama view from Skandgiri)
hi.. as i thought that his sep 2007 is going to be my last month in bangalore, i thought of going to the nearest places that i must have gone in my 3 years in bangalore. Nandi hills! We decided on friday that this saturday (8 sep) we ( me, ravi, manas and atul) will be going in morning. We cam to know that skandgiri is nearby nandi hills and good for tracking. So we decided to first go there. Skandagiri is good for night track.... u go there in night. do tracking for 2 hs and enjoy the beautiful morning .. with lovely clouds below the hill! but as it was our first experience, we decided to go in morning. We started well.. the 70 km long drive at speed of 100 km/hr from BTM -> Mekari circle -> Chikballapur was awesome. I strongly recommend helmet for security for both pillion and rider on bike as facing wind with so much speed will cause trouble.. and its better be safe !
So we reached there in 100 minutes. We were able to see beautiful clouds on both nandi hills and skandgiri on the way. We reached skandgiri and asked ppl about the way to go up. One way was simple tracking ( more of walking up actually) of 7 km and other way was tedious 3 km uphill climbing. And we ignorantly chose the tough way. our hard luck that as soon as we started, clouds started moving away and it became a very tedious climbing in a sunny day. I recommend at least 1 ltr water per person. We took lot of brakes in between and in two hours we reached up. It was beautiful there. But we missed the beautiful morning clouds :-(
But

Then we discovered the other way which was simpler We came back from the same way.
I have plan to go there again to enjoy sunrise।

Few suggestion for those who want to go Skandagiri:
Way: its straight on NH7 , 50 km from Mekari circle, Keep watching board at your left. Also local ppl will help you.
1. best time : go in night, start climbing at 2-3 AM. U will reach in 2-3 hours. There is a parking place, the starting point is less than 1km from there.Take long one 7 km simple path for night track. You can also reach early and get rest in tent ( u have to bring with u) up there. You can come back from same way. It will be at left while coming down.
2. take some food and enough drinking water. However you can get it up also on weekends at least.
3. If you like really tough climbing, take other uphill way of 3 km. That is suitable for day. Please note that it wil be difficult to come back from this way. You should take he first way.

After this we had lunch and started for nandi hills. There its more fun on the way. Those lovely curvy roads reminded me of nainital. It was amazing experience. Up there its same as Skandagiri. Reach early morning to see sun rise. The good thing is you don't have to climb. just enjoy that cool drive. This is complete commercialized picnic spot.
Returning was also fun. I had a race with a guy who was having her girlfriend at back seat. ( hee heee hee.. boys are boys )We were so close to them. We overtook them once than bade sayonara.
The whole day was very adventures. I enjoyed it lot.

chak de India!!

wow!
what a superb movie! simply awesome!
After a long time.. got to see a good movie under yashraj films banner! I loved each and every bit of movie. ... no fiction.. no magic..
very realistic.. and a complete entertainment for 3 hours!!
Other than entertainment, movie has truly portrayed the poor support for games in India. ( cricket might seems to be an exception.. but that too for boys only..) forget about woman sport .. other than sania... Its sad that people's support is not about the country or the sport..but about glamor.
Well.. no bhasan.. no dhar udhar ki baten.. no gyan.. just watch the movie and you will love it. Its a very inspirational movie not only for girls and emerging sportsman and sportswoman in India, but also for all of us!
and dear Sharrukh.. hats off for you once again.. he has proved that he is fit for all .. not about just lovely chocolaty or typical hindi heroic roles.. he did very well..
and all the girls.. oh my God.. they all had been so natural.. so good.. i loved performance from all of them..that hariyana da tasan..and panjab da gusss.. wow!! all have left an impression on mind!!
All the matches ..specially the final and the match against boys ( not hocky.. but fight in a mall :-) .are unforgettable..

And soon i am going to watch this movie again..
and last but not least.. a true FAMILY movie .. go ..take your son..daughter..uncle aunty..mummy papa..amma..dada dadi..i am sure all of them will love it!  ( ooops!! I missed boyfriend and girlfriend there :-)

Chak de INDIA!!

watching spiderman 3

one plus two not equal to three! This is the simplest explanation.
First of all getting to the hall for watching this movie is also a good story..
but that later...
well... don't want to be a spoiler for those who have not seen ... 3 has 3 new super character besides Spider Man himself. A Sand man, a black villain and Black Spider man ( count half for it) . Goblin you already know, so here is his son too ( this half makes out 2.5, complete 3 :-).
But thats all about super heros..and for what we have all special effects and graphics, the superb action.. the primary reasons for what we gp to watch such movies in a Cinema Hall like PVR.
But I am here to tell you the other part. The emotions filled in the story. More focus on love life of a superhero and a beautiful girl.. who are also in-fact just two human beings..with a heart similar to that all of us have..and than there are problems... mistakes..misunderstandings too.
How important it is to understand your beloved and his/her problem rather than just being yourself an important one. Even if you dont have a solution, by understanding only..you can make him/her feel better. "Every body need help..even spider man" ... no matter what happens..never loose faith..faith for the one you love..and faith in yourself... and that will make you stronger. When your friend is in problem, just listening to his problem is good enough..instead for trying to convince him like"oh,..dont worry...its just like that..these problems are just a phase..and everything will be fine.. blaw blaw.." because problems are actually there
Everybody has to solve his problems by himself...by making the "correct choices".
And finally we always need our elders to guide us and show the way when we are confused.
This was about the serious part of the movie.
Now comes to action...the new outfit of spider man is damn dashing. And whole Sand man scene is simply wow. The chasing and fight between Spider man and junior goblin is too fast to catch the whole fun. All that you will enjoy.
Two and half hours of continuous fun, thrill..and comedy too. Some of the things seems to be redundant sometimes...You will see Peter Parker doing a lot of new things. So ..go watch it!
My rating to this movie is 3 and a Half ( hoping you are not fed up of this "half" point theory).
-------
And now the story before the movie. I had a good day at office as it was family day party with RadioMirchi RJ Avinaash as host. Some great dance items by a group names "excellency".
And at 6 all fun was over. And here i was desperate to watch the movie . Seems impossible to get a 7PM show tickets on the first day of one of the most awaited movie. But ..you know.. when you really want something..the whole world conspires you to get that
.. ( Actually God has special arrangement for mad people like me who go for such movie alone..)
so I rushed to PVR that about 12km from office at busy office time...with my YAMAHA. And reached there at 6:30. I ran to the ticket counter and saw all things in red showing all tickets are sold. But i still had hope..getting into the line..i saw people asking for tickets and being answer in negative. than here i come.."Spider man3, current show", "No ticket, sir" he said. "Not even one"..i replied back...and here it goes.."yes sir..one is available".. Yeppi! and i am jumping for the fruit i got for this 40 minute hurry furry chase for the first day show!!
Than..get into the hall..my seat is 3rd from last..too back..so must be a good view..than one more story..i girl on my seat asking me to swap with her seat in the row behind. I ..the "good boy" immediately agree and go back exchanging the ticket. Reaching there i found my co viewer laughing as they were thinking i was made a fool by giving a "defected" seat that i found out as soon as i sat on it!! But no problems...it was just little loose and was slightly more back than normal.... but any thing for a "woman's comfort" :-)
I wish the people of last show would have reported this problem ( as i did and hope that seat would have been fixed :-)

I watched the whole movie ( that means the complete casting in the end too..enjoying the music ) ..one of the reason me choosing PVR ..other guys just switch of as soon as movie is over. No acknowledgment to those who made it! !!
Over all.. enjoyed movie...and thats why blogged here to tell you. May be I will go for it again :-)
Thanks for reading with patience!
ENjoy!!

Losing My religion

hi,
ever listened to this song...i am just mad over this since tilak, one of my colleague in my office, gifted me this song.... this song has something very deep..and the music has went into my mind getting enqueued in my top favorite list (those songs that i can continuously listen for days with out getting bore..and will switch only not to miss others songs)!
And what is special in this song.... let the meaning of this song be interpreted by you yourself!
For this song (both audio and video) you can try searching at 4shared.com and details about this u can see at wikipedia of course.

I am a great fond of English songs...( and of course i love Hindi songs as well...try Anatkshari with me :-).

Apart from telling how much i like "Losing my religion" by R.E.M., lets talk about music in 21st century.
This time music business is going far higher...everyone wants a mobile with good mp3 player..or an ipod or a USB playerm speakers with FM radio ...you see anywhere...everybody is "plugged in"..in their vehicles they are plugged into radio city...music is ruling the market everywhere!!
And for me Music is soul of life!! i feel empty with out music!! And am crazy about English songs.
My interest started from "My heart will go on" by celion deon..than bryan adams, westlife, MLTR, boyzone, bon zovi, BSB, REM and there is endless list!!
So keep singing..keep listening..keep dancing..keep celebrating life with music.

THINK ABOUT…

Here are the few beautiful lines that always fascinate me...
some i heard...some i read..and some are my own!!!

If u can’t help urself...do help others!!!

When u can’t help it…leave it on God!

Don’t fallow others…make ur own rules because nobody is perfact!!!

BELIEF:

Your are the only one and the best kind of urself …some people are better than you and some are worse but…none of them is you!!!

If you don’t believe in God....believe in yourself....and if u don’t believe in yourself...then believe me JUST start believing ...because if you can’t believe you can’t survive!!!


You can do what u believe and can’t do what u don’t believe!!!

Don’t be upset…u also believe otherwise u would not have been doing what u r doing right now!!!

HOPE
Never worry…..because if the things can be handled why to worry…and if it’s not possible there is no use of worrying!!!

You always not get what u desire but you are always not knowing what you are going to get!!!

Don’t be afraid of loosing as you were never owing any of that!!!

MISTAKES:
Just try to do wrong things …..that will make you confident about what is not right!!!

Learn from others mistakes as you can’t live long enough to make them all urself!!!

Experiance is nothing but mistakes that one did!

KNOWLEDGE:
Either you know or you don’t know ...there is no intermediate stage….so be confident about both ...what you know and what you don’t know!!!

Take risk…. Don’t give you a chance to repent for not even trying!!!

The BAD About GOOD is that has an END
BUT the GOOD thing about BAD is that it also has an END !!!

“ Make friends….they may be ur greatest achievement ”

At least once in a month…. take a break …free ur mind, forget about all the things …just enjoy the leisure!!!

GURU : Movie review

GURU.. one of the most mature performance by Abhishek Bachchan and another great success of Mani Ratnam with Abhishek!
This movie is simply superb! Completely focused around Abhishek and wonderful music by A. R. Rahaman.
Most of the movie shoots seems to be in south Indian showing beautiful ancient architectures...temples..and waterfalls!!
Ashwarya rai's role was smaller in the beginning but got very powerful in the end! And Mithun Da has also given very good performance.
Vidya Balan and Madhwan also gave good performance.
I loved the direction of the movie !! And the dialogues are mind blowing! Mani ratnam has brilliantly given feel of the period of 1950-80. the trains..buildings..cars..
It looks very real..Bombay 50 years back form now..would have been like that only!!
The movie is all about the vision and "Himmat" courage of Gurukant desai...he change the rules..and keep going forward not giving a damn to what people say.
The main thing I liked was in whole movie the personal relations were given a lot importance. Business is business..but human values are always most important..the love and support of your family and friends gives power and courage to do impossible. " Jahan chah ..wahan rah"
The confidence and courage of GURU's character drives the movie. But at the same time he is very honest in his relationship with his Nana, Mota bhai and friends!!
Ashwarya Rai has supported this character very well!!
So in short...its a must watch movie..Abhishek truly said that not everyone get a chance to wok in a movie like GURU.
Its a lifetime movie for him..and this movie will change the way Abhishek bachchan is perceived. Now he has his own identity ..not just a son of Big B!

The movie I loved...SERENDIPITY

Just watched SERENDIPITY...
What a lovely movie....
such a sweet movie..and it came in to my most favourite..most loving movie list..hollywood 's most romantic sweet love stories starting from NOTTING HILL....LOVE ACTUALY and IF ONLY....all movies i love so much that i can see them thousand times !!!

Serendipity means fortunate accidents..like..discovering something by chance..actualy accidentally..
In this movie Serendipity. the heroin of the movie Sara (Kate Beckinsale) believes in serendipity a lot...she just love this world..( and i too) .she meets the hero (John Cusak) in a store and than a series of serenipitous events happnes there..lovely direction really....there first date in a restaurent named 'Serendipity'. In the beginning the sweet girl Sara tries to prove that serendipity will make them meet again ..but Jon get stcuk in some comic event . but Sara believes that if they are supposed to meet..they will meet some how.Than after few years..both Sara and Jon are about to get married..( unfortunately not to each other). But there had not been a day they have not thought about each other since they met.

And than when just a day is left for Jon's wedding. he feels that the universe is telling him to find Sara..who is supposed to be his soul-mate...and the same thing is happening at Sara's side.
She comes to Newyork..both of them are trying hard to find each other...in this whole event..you will pray to God to do something .you will hold your breath..than you see how beautifully they meet in the end!!

some of quotes that appears in between and I liked .."if you want to improve..you have to be foolish and stupid"..and thus..be passionate about what your dream about..what you really want..however foolish it may seem..but I finaly get you your destiny..and than you can realy justify your efforts.. so never hesitate to take even the most foolish step for what you are passionate about!!
simply WOW Movie...I love ..really love such movies. and I loved this movie so much that I feel like telling everyone..
and hope inside my heart to meet my soulmate...waiting for some serendipitous to happen with me.( and actualy might have tried also sometimes.. ;-)
It’s a must watch movie if you have even small flavor for soft and romantic movies.


====================================
now here is a counter view about Serendipity.. which is bit influenced by other thoughts and is from a different perspective..
If we see the same movie from the point of view of the person who were having existing relationships with Sara and Jonathan.. this all looks stupid.. you are about to get married to someone and suddenly he/she realizes that there is someone whom he/she met for few minutes seems to be his soulmate?? and what the hell they were doing with their existing relationship.. why they went into that at अत all.. and how can they simply ignore it.. it sounds completely dishonest and impractical ..
but इतना दिमाग लंगाने का नही... बस मूवी देखने का .. एन्जॉय करने का .. हीरो हेरोइन के मिलने पे खुश होने का.. and THE END
