The Cauvery Issue

I am still unable to decide about my views and opinion about the whole issue surrounding the sharing of Cauvery Water amongst... the 4 stake holders.. ( namely: Karnataka, TN, Pondy and Kerala)..

The situation resembles something like... you have a cake weighing 1 pound.. and to be distributed among 4 members. Each one wants his share of cake. as per each one's demand the cake itself should have been more than 2 and half pounds. !!!!

My father used to tell me one story; Once upon a time when the head of the family was about to die, he called both of his sons and as per his will he wanted to distribute his life time achivement (valuable items.) 1. A Blanket, 2. A cow and 3. A Mango Tree.

Unable to distribute equally without partiality, he authorised his elder son to take care of his younger brother and share the property...!!! the Lad agreed. When the father died, the elder bro called the younger and said : Look I have decided on the sharing of the property,...

The modalities worked were:

1. You use the Blanket during day time, and I will use during nights.

2. The front portion of the cow belongs to you and the rear I keep.

3. The roots and and stem portion of the tree belong to you I will keep the top portion...

and the younger lad... agreed...

How the story ends.. I will pen later... may be tomorrow.

Whenever I think about Cauvery verdict this story comes to my mind.

Valentine's day Special

Today morning while driving to my office I heard an interview on FM Radio:
The anchor was asking the guest as to how he felt about the Valentines day, today.

The Guest replied: Valentines day is "Nirudyogi gala Divasa" or
"Berojgaaronka Din" .... i.e. day for the unemployed.

the debate continued thus:

How true... I felt... In a city like Bangalore where life is so fast and day is so hectic, most of the times we fail to meet the deadlines... yet....,

the Boy:
Standing in the bus-stand / park/ or some other place waiting for (his) girl... He thinks and believes so.!!!!!! ... SMS ing the whole day... offering red rose, some complimentaries etc. and grand treat in a posh / standard restura at his cost.

End of the day after the purse is empty he returns home ... keeps on thinking... whether she loves me loves me not.... and looking at the ceiling ... restless.. sleepless nite....!!!!!!!!!!!!

& the Girl:
not standing in the bus stand/park or whatever, making the boys to wait and not replying to the SMS.. rather forwarding the same SMS to some other boys...

Flirting with atleast 4-5 boys at the same time, receiving roses/ compliments / treat from all of them ... wondering and unable to decide whom to continue dating .. after the date with all of them is over... or to start again with a new guy...!!!! Goes to sleep... with full of dreams...


This is possible for the unemployed youth only ... who can afford to waste time and Papa's money.

Any comments.

Happy Velentines Day... !!!!!!!!
to all visitors.......

The Bangalore Bundh... 12/02/2007, Monday..

Well, the Karnataka Rakshana Vedike declared all Karnatak Bundh, for 8th of February, later postponed it to 12th Feb. due to the AERO INDIA show, which was on till the 11th Feb in Bangalore.

However, Since my Ex-boss's Son (Vipul from Patna) was admitted in Mahavir Jain Hospital, for a food poisoning complaint.. he was operated upon for a appendices.. on Sunday 11/2. at 4.pm. We were all present there in the hopsital.

On Monday, 12/2, I tried to pierce through the Curfew (Sec.144) and drive past few policemen standing on vigil on Mysore road (I stay in Raj Rajeswari Nagar, on Mysore Road) to visit the Hospital and speak to the doctor about the medication etc.. I was stopped and sent back by the Rapid Action Force. I tried to explain them about the situation and medical emergency, they did not buzz either. I spoke to the attendent over telephone.. and advised him of the course of queries / clarification sought during doctor's visit. Now he is fine and recovering very fast..

However, Today morning i.e. on 13/2, tuesday, I could meet him on my way to office.

the King Fisher... Flying the Good Times

I had read some reviews / comments on Mouth-shut.com about King Fisher Airlines recently,

I wanted to add something...................... !!!!!!

(Though I have travelled on number of occasions on King Fisher Airlines during the past 1 and half years.)

I took a Flight IT 208 on 7/2/07 and IT 207 on 8/2/07, from Bangalore-Delhi-Bangalore respectively. I tried to observe the proceedings carefully (Not casually as I do usually) right from Bangalore airport check in to next day arrival in Bangalore.
Everything is fine, except for the delay of 10-15 mins. each way which is common and that too is not under KF control. (ATC or the runway congestion has to be blamed for that...). In Delhi airport right from taxi arrival area the KF staff take good care for screening of the baggages, check in. They have a facility now, of mobile check in (there are some check in staff wandering outside the check in area with mobile check-in Machines, for passengers flying with cabin baggage only...
From Delhi, My flt. was at 2050 hrs. I was stuck up in traffic jam near Cannaught place at 1930, I called the KF Customer Care no. for tele-check in, which was through within a minute.
Only thing I also have brought to the notice of their managament is the repeat programmes shown on the video. The programmes are recorded for 1-1/2 hrs. and the flight from Delhi - Bangalore is of good 2 hr. 40 min. Otherwise everything is fine.... "It is really Flying the good times."

the JANPATH HOTEL experience

Well, I was in Delhi on 8th Feb.. for a business meeting.

Unfortunately, I was put in Hotel Janpath, on Janpath road, NewDelhi...

The experience... in the hotel... I wanted to share..on my blog spot....

It is my mistake, I feel, after paying Rs. 6000/- + per night, we end up in staying in a room which is worst than any standard rooms available in Paharganj area, at Rs. 400 to 500 /-. or less than that.
NOT A JOKE.
The taps were leaking,
Bad Plumbing- Cistern is fixed in such a way that if you try to flush , your fingers will touch the WC cover/ring.
... Creeking bed, Noisy Fan (Fitted during british regime it seems.)
Dead telephone,
patchy painting on the doors, exposed electric wires everywhere. I was afraid to touch the switch of the Fridge.. it was making so much noise that I could not sleep. it was surrounded by so many live wires.When I tried to contact the lobby manager / Travel desk in the morning for a Taxi, nobody was available there. The reservation / information desk was unable to help me b'coz they were already arguing with some other occupant guests for leaking taps etc.....I dont wish to write anything about the food or any other services. I thought, after Congress ministry take over, the Service and look for this hotel might have got a face lift. But no, it still remains the same. Probably we wont recommond this hotel to any of our clients / foreign delegates / friends .

I dont think We will also visit this hotel ever again, Anyway.
