In His Time...

In His time, In His Time
He makes all things beautiful in His time.
Lord please show me every day
As You're teaching me Your way
That You do just what You say
In Your time.

In Your time, In Your Time
You make all things beautiful in Your time.
Lord my life to You I bring
May each song I have to sing
Be to you a lovely thing
In Your time.

Happiest Day

17th October 2014 0630 is probably the happiest day or rather hours of my life. I have never felt so much inexplicable happy ever before. I cannot reason why and feel so greatly thankful and indebted to Yahweh God. I can never forget this experience and hope it's for ever and never ebbs.

Mumbaikar's Local

Mumbai local Trains are a part of almost every Mumbaikar.
Almost everyone who needs to commute to and from work requires to take the train as a part of the travel itinerary. It's faster that any other means of transport though it involves a lot of hassle. People travel as short as 3 km everyday and the longest as long far as Virar to Vashi. The Train travel easily could take up to 2 hours of the journey. Some even commute from Pune to Mumbai CST and some from Valsad to Dadar. 

The time spent everyday is such an extensive part of ones daily routine that it becomes a part of your life. The friendship made during this time are probably the only friends one has. Some spend this long durations by catching on some sleep, playing a hand of cards, reading a book or newspaper. These relations are so strong that they actually call themselves a group and name it on the train time and destination. Some of them sing Bhajans or simply chit chat.  Many a times small individual achievements are celebrated by having a light breakfast. During festivals like Diwali or Dusherah,  people have a party complete with decorations and snacks. On new years day such daily travelers chip in and garland the train or break a coconut as a mark of blessing.

Great Game India: Mechanics of Narendra Modi's PR agency : APCO Worl...

Came across this while reading about MH370. Since its Election time in India i think this is good food for thought.

Great Game India: Mechanics of Narendra Modi's PR agency : APCO Worl...: In this dynamic and ever-changing world, Apco Worldwide stands tall as the giant of the lobbying industry. The firm, in its own words...

 
"  The best way one can surmise the working methodology of APCO Worldwide is aptly portrayed in the Bond movie Quantum of Solace’s character Dominic Greene and his Quantum organization.

Dominic Greene : Well, look at what we did to this country. The Haitians elect a priest...who decides to raise the minimum wage...from 38 cents to $1 a day. It's not a lot, but it's enough to upset the corporations...who were here making T-shirts and running shoes. So they called us, and we facilitated a change.

General Medrano : The difference is, my country's not some flyspeck...in the middle of the Caribbean.

DG : But we've already begun destabilizing the government. We'll supply the private security. We'll pay off the right officials, and we have 26 countries...ready to officially recognize...your new Bolivian Government.

You want your country back. My organization can give it to you...

within the week.

You should know something about me and the people I work with. We deal with the left and the right, dictators or liberators. If the current president had been more agreeable, I wouldn't be talking to you. So if you decide not to sign, you'll wake up with your balls in your mouth and your willing replacement standing over you...if you doubt that, then shoot me, take that money and have a good night's sleep.  "

Félicitations Sachin

Sachin Priolkar, a colleague and good friend finally tied the knot with long time girl friend Supriya yesterday.
Sachin was introduced to me by Pradnya Shenoy- another wonderful colleague, around August-September 2010 when i had applied for an IJP at workplace. Sachin gave me insight in to the job role i had applied for which i was able to clinch it a few months later. Thereafter he has been my mentor and a person to whom i turn to for advice.He helps clear the haze around and see things in a different angle.

On occasion of your marriage Sachin, i wish you all the best for your married life along with  your spouse Supriya. May you always feel as close as you do this day. May your lives be graced with good health. May you always find happiness in your home, and may it be a refuge from the storms of life. May your love grow ever stronger as you share your lives together, and may your future be even more wonderful than you dreamed possible.

Congratulations and wish you a Happy Married Life!!

Inducted At Last!!!

The much Awaited day for the Indian Navy finally dawned on 16th November when a mammoth 44,500-tonne warship was commissioned into the Indian Navy at the Sevmash Shipyard severodvinsk Russia at a handing over ceremony attended by Defence Minister A K Antony, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin and senior government and naval officials of the two countries.
The induction brings the curtains down on a 13-year saga of carrier reconstruction marred by recurrent time slippages, cost overruns and edgy political negotiations.On Saturday morning, the dignitaries were given a ceremonial Guard of Honour by Indian and Russian naval personnel. The Russian flag on the modernised vessel was lowered. Soon after Captain (Commodore) Suraj Berry, Vikramaditya’s commanding officer, read out the commissioning order, the Indian tricolour was hoisted on the vessel with a 34-men colour guard led by Lieutenant Commander H. Mehta in attendance. The naval band rendered the national anthem. The commissioning papers were signed by deputy director of Russia's arms exporter Rosoboronexport, Igor Sevastyanov and the ship's Commissioning captain Suraj Berry.
The initial $1.5 billion contract for retrofitting the carrier and buying 16 MiG-29K fighters was signed in 2004. Later, India agreed to a price escalation and has finally ended up paying over $2.33 billion.INS Vikramaditya will be escorted to India during a nearly two-month voyage by a group of warships to secure a safe sail to its new base at Karwar on the Arabian Sea coast next to Goa.

Such was the hype that NATO forces were reported snooping on the Ship even before being inducted. Track the events here.

Lonavla Trip

Last Monday, i went on a short trip with my Wife, Sister and In-laws to Lonavla. We stayed at a rented bungalow near the Express way. The weather was pleasant, didn’t rain, was just cool and windy. We went to Pawana Dam and a boat club on the way and the Wax museum. The next day we went to Tiger Leap Point, also went right up to the gates of Amby valley passing by INS Shivaji and the AFS nearby. Later to Bushi dam and then returned home Tuesday evening.

EsselWorld Trip

The last time i went to EsselWorld was way back in 1987 when i was in grade II. From then, today the park has increased many folds, introducing a Water park and the nearby Global Pagoda.
So Friday morning around 0930 we first went to see the Immense pillar-less structure and the still under construction surroundings. The lush green and beautiful garden was the best part. Thereafter around 11 we rushed to enter the Fun Zone. We sat on rides that twisted and turned and went upside down.I screamed and laughed my lungs out and enjoyed. I don't remember when last did i scream or laugh so freely. Post a bite from Dominos and soup we visited the  decommissioned INS Prabal and went Ice Skating. CCD gave us much needed warmth after the Arctic experience and then the last stop around 1700 was at the Bowling alley. thoroughly enjoyed and tired we reached home by 1800.
