When I grow up, I want to be a little boy..

Posted by: Rustic on: November 30, 2008

we all live in our own crazy capsules of ever increasing craving for ‘more’ in the crazy chaos of cities that in the process of reaching our destinations, we disregard those small small moments of happiness which could have made our lives journey pleasurable and meaningful in true sense….

here’s an appeal to that unsettling unrelenting [...]

I am a common man..

Terrorists have again invaded our sense of security and tranquil. This is not the first time though.  They have stormed our lives time and again. They think that with a crazy bunch of brainwashed, callously hatred-seduced marauders, they can snatch our peace and harmony. In a way their perception of this kind is true, because [...]

Blissful stroll through birdie ‘Thol’

Posted by: Rustic on: November 24, 2008

(T)errific, (H)ypnotic, (O)utstanding, (L)ovely feathered creatures, birds, flying high in the sky, have always caught our fancy to reach for the sky and have given our imagination wings of passion, ambition and fascination. All of us have longed for that flight of freedom through the unending blue of the sky and the remembrance of that [...]

Crazy me :)

Posted by: Rustic on: November 15, 2008

crazy heart chasing a crazy dream..
crazy heart chasing a crazy dream..
crazy heart and its crazy whispers
crazy is its beats & crazy is its quivers
crazy is its squirm & crazy is its shiver
crazy is its twinkle & crazy is its desire to peer
that crazy spectacle of her beauty’s beam..
crazy heart chasing a crazy dream..
crazy heart chasing [...]

School Sports Day!!

Posted by: Rustic on: November 12, 2008

The first thing I do in the morning is to collect some jowar (type of sorghum) in a carry bag for my best friends pigeons who are always waiting for me in the play ground just behind my building. So today when I reached our mutually fixed place in the ground, I found school kids [...]

IT warriors take up the cudgels…

Posted by: Rustic on: November 12, 2008

My last post – ‘IT Global Delivery Model – An Insider View’ came just day before yesterday and today when I took a look at morning newspaper, the first thing I noticed was an article titled – ‘IT professionals form union to hold on to jobs’. I wasn’t expecting so quick turn around in the [...]

IT Global Delivery Model – An Insider View

Posted by: Rustic on: November 10, 2008

Though IT is a people centric industry, we find it to be mainly comprised of a brigade of quiet docile computer geeks silently dolling out applications for Whites. We need someone to be torch bearer for IT community just as blacks have found their harbinger in Obama! To begin with I thought I should atleast [...]

its sunday again !!

Posted by: Rustic on: November 8, 2008

its sunday again..
lazy morning, dreamy brain..
ample sleep..
so many snoozes of alarm beep..
skipping breakfast..
feasting on brunch in contrast..
massages, caresses, long showers..
forgetting office, those excuciating hours..
TOI, HT, magazines..
far from crowds in creative genes..
chatting, calling forgotten friends..
hi, hello, whats up..his girlfriends, her boyfriends..
remembrances of sweetheart..
appointments..long calls..breaking records & charts..
movies, plays, shopping ads..
planning evenings in snoozy yet zealous fads..
family, [...]

Proof of pudding is in the taste..

Posted by: Rustic on: November 8, 2008

Proof of pudding is in the taste….it’s only when we taste exquisite, exotic and eclectic delectables or not-so-palatable eatables we recognize the contrast between sweet, sour, spicy tastes of dishes. Likewise life is full of contrasts and ironies, twists and turns, which are sometimes as sharp as a bee-sting yet sometimes as colorful as season [...]

Saturday ‘play’ at nariman bay!

Posted by: Rustic on: November 7, 2008

Its been almost a year since I visited Nariman Point last time. Its hard to believe that living in mumbai, one keeps away from one of the prime places of city but then time is such a well-rounded ball moving steadily over an immaculately grown grass cover, that one doesnt even realize sometimes when it [...]
