It was a sort of picnic with joy ride at Meerut as Boss invited us to join him for a ride in microlight ( the aircraft) ..Though it was Sunday, I could not resist the micro light ride. We started at around 11AM and reached at Bhimarao Ambedkar air strip at Meerut around 2 PM ( courtsey the ling journey with a heavy traffic plus an novice driver). The place was fantabulous as a long run way with the 20lacs microlight waiting for us . Mr Thapar..the wing commander briefed us about the danger and the procedure to get in and out of the aircraft. A little indiscipline may end your life as the blades run at a higher rpm. We were the first batch to get to ride. Prayas inagurated being the first one to take the ride.
As i entered into the craft..there was lil bit of nervousness gripping me. Mr Thapar relaxed me by asking me ceratin questions and we started flying within no moments..what an experience...just like playing a toy..One can feel it with the controller. Within no moments we were at a high of around 500 meters. He told me about the control , how to go up and down, tilt to an angle. I requested him for a test drive that is total control at my hand. I took up the challenege and could feel it to my self how it experieced.
marvellous.. cant get words to describe. The scenery was beautiful with mandirs, slums and green lands beneath..Mr Thapur was a guide and described me the total landscape in the sky. The microlight could go up to a speed of 160km per hour but the safe limit is 130km per hour.My flight ended with a high note.
All Inframembers there enjoyed a lot and the lunch was delicious too. While returning back, we were all taken by surprise because of the " why" question from the " Touch me not" guy Satwik. He was the sole entertainer in our cab.Ultimately the journey eneded with me getting down at Noida safely and taking the beautiful expereience with me..
What a nice experience ...I hope people would definitely try to take a ride as the enjoyment is far far higher than the cost they would pay..
Well done Microlight...

Life changes forever..why I am not getting happiness in small things as ever?
One of my Colleague sent me a mail reminding me the good old days....a bunch of smile , a desire to do wonders, a desire to change society, a desire to enjoy life filled up with happiness..

A beautiful compilation of words which says " aree yaar tu kitna badal gaya hai"..
Is it so? Yes , it is..I do not know how time changes everything. I was very ordinary person looking for happiness here and there. In my Mother's soothing words, father's advices, quarrelling with siblings.
I never got time to do this and no time to ponder these things. Away from home, with a handsome bucks in my wallet, only i can think how to spend this money and find no means to spend it.
Living alone in the metro with a routine 9 to 8 daily life only brings me money and nothing else...I repeat nothing else. I become choosy in almost all things. It seems that I tried to find out a match ( corporate kind ) , a feeling of being one of the corporate world makes me a showy guy who thinks very high ( in terms of money only ) . I find myself devoid of emotions in this highly charged self centered world.
The only thing I have is my bunch of friends with whom I can share my feelings and enjoy the togetherness. I could not imagine life without friends in this metro where there is almost no time to spend.
Very often I thought of leaving all things and return to my basics but the power of money do not let me do that.
I do not know where I am heading ...

A trip to Dehradun, mussorie and dhanaulti hill point: memories revisited..
Life needs a break and so does me.To my NTPC friends from 24 to 26January, a long drawn holiday but for me saturday is not a regular break so I had to take 1 day leave on 24th Jan to accompany my NTPC friends on a revisit trip to the hills ( I had been to mussorie with my NPTI friends earlier).
Day 1:
We ( prabhat,Sarang and me) got evrything packed in one go and in one big bag the previous night and got ready to start a new journey the day after. On 24th morning, we had to make our other friends make some morning blues so as to get them prepared for the trip. By the time we are ready , it is almost 10Am and then Puja of the cars began with our new found priest ( MILU ).
This was not just a trip but a testing of car driving of our two friends as we took their newly bought sleek Hyndui i10s for the trip.We started in 2 cars and prior to that i was given responsibity to take care of the cash.We pooled Rs 1000 each to make the trip a hassle free one.
By the way, we got distracted because none of us knew the exact road to dehradun. And for our woes, we found roads blocked at certain places , so by enquiring with local guys, we get on going towards dehradun.
The first journey break was there at Ganga Nahar, a 50 km stretch ( short cut to dehradun). Probably a election rally was goin on with villages side by the Nahar so a bit late as our rule of law does not apply to the ruling parties and politicians.
A sarson ka khet, that was quite beautiful and that reminded us the scene from DDLJ. We all got out of our cars and did a photoshoot there in between the farm , that was quite nice.
After that a terrible thing happened..As we started to move from there , Our car got slight head on collision wioth another speedy approached car from the other side resulting a huge sound , for some time I thought there was firing from outside. At less than a minute, we got realised that the front mirror got completely damaged.
Thank god!! we were unhurt , leaving behind the whole affar when we started , the side mirror cracked like anything , just like a bomb. After that we realised the impact of that collision, it was very strong as the window pane absorbed the full shock and it took it very less time to crack in pieces...
Terrible blow!!!!! it costs a lot of money and the poor fellow had to bear it.Our next stop was at Cheetal grand , beautiful restaurant for the visitors , a little bit costly too..we had our lunch there and again started towards dehradun.. By the time we reached to Bana bhai, it was almost 9.00PM but the two new drivers got it alright as they drove us to the destination in the hill areas too. prabhat had to shift cars as he was the only perfectionoist over there when it came to expat driving....
Banabhai's room was fabulous and I wonder that kind of room in Delhi might costs u above 20000 bucks as rent but he was paying a cool 6000bucks for that room. Great.. we got our dinners ordered from the nearby hotels and had our bellies full..
Day 2:
We started at around 10Am towards Dhanaulti ..but bana bhai took us to robbers scape , a place in dehradun where robbers used to flee taking the help of narrow gaps between the mountains.That was a stretch between the stones of a mountain with little pass of water .. A great place to hang around...that was quite dangerous too with sharp stones above and beneath, a slip from the stones and one is sure to break some of the parts of the body. A picturesque for taking photoes and we did exactly that. We were surprised to find some young couples there doing romancing..great place to have ur wild desire satisfied and perhaps that was the reason these couples were there.
We had a dance there and that moments were captured in the digicam too. We did not have a full proof plan and the time was too short to cover everything. We decided to go to Dhanaulti first and started our journey. The roads were too curvy and dangerous so the driving responsibilty were on Prabhat and Bana bhai. Prabhat was too cautious but Bana bhai was in his best , moving the car like anything, It was too dangerous to sit in his car while he was driving.
We got to the hill top at Dhanaulti and some of us wanted to visit Sarkanda Devi Maa temple. It was around 3. 30Pm and I advised not to visit the temple as I knew that it would take them at least 2 hours up and down, but they resisted and some of us started towards the Mandir. I was worried about Sarang as it could have difficult for him to climb up as he got a big belly like me..ha ha ha..
But they dared and in the mean time we went to a near by place for relaxing but something interesting happened there. One boy was after one girl, running to get her, I thought they might be siblings but i was wrong when I found that the boy got the girl from behind and kissed her face like anything lieing on the road, quite sexy ...Yah Indian culture keeps changing now and scenes like these are quite common now a days...
We found very little time to go to the top of hill and enjoy sunset but we did ( prabhat ,sarang and me)..taken some snaps there, the sun set was very beautiful but we did not find any clouds and ice over there. A bunch of young lads over there told me to confirm when snow fall will be there and plan to visit accordingly.
We enjoyed the maggi there ( though 1 plate of maggi cost Rs 25/-) , It was dark at the hills when we returned and we had to drive carefully as it was too dangerous to drive in night.We entered Mussorie and just got it from the wrong side and could not visit the mall road unfortunately. for me it was not painful but for others they missed the chance to visit mussorie.
Bnma bhai then stayed at a point where he showed us Mussorie at one side and deharadun at the other side, I mean mussorie at the top and Dehradun at the bottom with a dazzling star in between.. I named that : Banabhai special"...
At last we got to our staying place in Dehradun, had our meal ( Sarang cooked all though he was too tired)..and slept like log.
Day 3:
Started earlier for Noida as we had to reach by evening , had our tiffin ( mix parantha at a dhaba) and lunch at chettal garden and in between We tasted the local fruit ( canes directly from firms) ..quite good..
Prabhat showed his driving skills while driving at the side of Ganganahar crossing 6 to 7 vehicles at a great speed.Crossing all hurdes we got to Noida at around 6 PM in the evening. The journey finished with a bang, overall enjoyable, a break from our regular life but with a huge cost to Prabhasa who got his car glass damaged in an accident but they ( Bhai and Bhoi) got full marks for their driving . Though it was a trip to mussorie, lot of time consumed in driving only..
Overall a good break with a basket full of photoes to upload in Orkut...Bye :)

ISO work in full swing in office: Boss takes the first initiative
ISO work is under full swing with BOSS leading from the front. But here, this is quite different. No files, No Almirahs numbering. Usually ISO is a continuous process to streamline all the process in office. Generally a office work involves lot of documentation works and to streamline them is a difficult matter but ISO makes look all the work very simple with proper coding and numbering in the system.
Here at Infraline, I like the procedure as everything is done online without any hard paperwork involved. The idea is simply great . Making an online system and downloading all necessary documents and all training needs in a proper format and continously involving one and all to achieve the target is awsome. Everyone has the responsibilty towards maintaining the files and if all involves, the complex system looks very easy and accessible.
Surprisingly, BOSS has created a unique system to reward and penalise one and all for proper implementation of the system. Making a pool account involoving all. If one does not cater to the guidelines, he is to be penalised and the best guy getting the reward for the overall achievement.
Hope, everything falls in line with the time. just wait and watch.
