Rain Fury

I have really never been into a habit of maintaining personal diary of events in my life ,just like i never excerised in my life more than a week regularly....This is why i am not much into blogging too.But slowly i hope i can change myself and blog more often.
Sometimes ,specially when you are not really with your own people and if the work life is also going predicatable,life seems to have come to standstill ,probably these are one of those not so happening days for me.
It has rained cats and dogs in Shenzhen last week..Few parts of Guangdong and Fujian provinces have also got flooded..
but it has been fine since last 2 days or so..I can seen more greening pactches of land ,sitting in my 58th Floor office Specially when i see towards the Hongkong part of land..
I am living in Shenzhen ,Neighbouring main land Chineses city to Hongkong .
Well..So what i was talking about ,Rain.!! Ya...
I have seen mainy places with rain,those where it rains rarely and those when it rains almost everyday...
remember my days in Darjeeling,we had our place which was sadwiched by wonderful tea estate on one and a river on other side.The third side ,you could see the hills , on which towns of Kalimpong and Kursiang were there.
It was a routine...It would rain almost everyday there ,without fail....For me it was weired as well as intersting.
Fourth side if we look there was vast land...you would almost see horizon there those days.
When It starts raining there DURING rainy season,it will be worth watching .We can see Lord Indra's Laser show of Electric lightening even during day time..you can see swords of electricity parting the sky all the way down touching the ground...many a times trees and even electircal appliances in home used to get damaged badly.I remember i used to go on walk after my boring study time in evening towards horizon and suddenly i will notice clouds coming and as if they will run after me.....Kids in colony used to literally have a race with clouds,who reaches their home first...they will run ,clouds will follow ..and many a times kids will just get in home and then clouds will drench the home.many a times vice versa ...All of sudden due to heavy clouds it will turn dark and ,of course power cut as well..No body will be in mood to study ..But it used to irritate me ,not because i was very studious but because i was finiding myself too weak to cope up with the pressure of taking Science subjects..Physics,Chemistry,Maths and Biology...Bio used to be my favourite but Maths was horror..
Many a times it will rain non stop too heavily....Water getting logged in front of all the apartments ,frogs/snakes and leeches uses to make their appearences ,being a hilly area.Not to forget,heavy mansoons and flooding in Rivers used to drive Assamese Elephants out of their territories in forests..Often we will find a herd of as many as 30-40 Elephants marching towards residential colonies and it used to be too dangerous to go out alone in evening.Elephants ,used to be on real rampage once entering Human habitat.They used to attack Army ration stores and Messes for the food....They kind of ,knew where what was kept and they had a strategy to deal with humans.Even firing of gun,fire torches and beating of drum later became uneffective in driving them out.
I still remember very clearly,we used to get daily milk supply from Military Dairy which was a few kilometers away from my place and every evening i will go on my bicycle to fetch milk...that evening it rained alot and thus could not go out to get milk on time ...Infact most of them couldn't.As the rain stopped it was some 6 in evening,too dark for hills.But as we needed milk i went out on bicycle...While i reached milk dairy ,i had friends and seniors talking about the fury of elephants during rainy days,there was an attack of elephants last night on dairy...they looted all the grains in Military store....Can you believe?
Well ,fetching the milk i was back on my way to home ,just imagining how the people would have felt ,deep in night finding Enormous animal in front of them...I was in my thoughts ,and suddenly,I saw i was just a few feet away from an Elephant ,just a few feet.....infact there were 3-4 of them...they were being chased away by group of men,and they were running all the way through tea estate..since elphants were frightened,there was a danger for me as i was in front of them..I had milk vassel in one hand and cycle handle in another I thought,by the time i turn the bike and move back..I don't know what will happnen..Stoping there was also of no use...Only way was ...I speeded as much as i could,on the slippery road....balancing was also difficult..but Man! that was a real narrow escape...I felt good reached alive home....Phooh!!
Last year i went to Bangalore ,i visted my institute and was meeting everyone there in my college..It rained there badly..So badly as it never did!!! NEVER!!!!
I decided to take a ride back in college bus..but it was just amazing...Indian Silicon valley..IT Dynamo of India..Bangalore had come to a stand still ..there was water logging every where..no traffic movement..the journey which takes 20 minutes took not less than 2.5 hrs....I saw the roads of Bangalore ,resembling branches of Brahmaputra river....
Excess raining has also become a trend..with global warming..Three of Indian majors Mumbai,Bangalore and Chennai witnessed the horor last year..I can not say i was fortunate or unfortunate for this...but i did see 87cms rains in Bangalore same day...
Katarina and Rita ripped US coast ,Even here in China it rained hell...Even places Like Germany and Romania also faced Flood fury last year...I am afraid but sure this will be repaeted this year too...as every educated says..I too ,we got to do something soon to avoid..tsunamis...Bombay fury and Rita's and Katarinas...

Enthusiasm

Was reading Chetan Bhagat's superseller "Five pooint someone" which tells you tale of 3 briiliant yet mischeiveous guys who are students of IIT...India's premier Engineering institute..Reading through their life in hostel and kind of fun as well as tough time they go through refreshened my memories of good old days in college.
Remember, i entered the college premises first as NOT so happening kind of guy!Things were a bit differnet ,i came from a bit diffrent upbringing.But i still remember,those were the days i decided that one got to change for good.Things are not going to wait for me ,time runs fast and if i had to catch the metropolitan pace i had to change drastically in many aspects.Though there were many basic aspects where i just did not want to change but there were double the number, i really wanted to .
I had my way to try things out.Probably being a leo ,i hated to be dictated by what others usually do..I wanted to try my own concepts and ideas and always respected someone who felt same like me.I hated herd mentality.
I tried to build myself morally and willingly strong..those were 2 key areas.There was lot's of brushing up needed and i am glad, the circle of friends i had in college was an excellent one..People did criticised me ,but did respect me,did support me when needed and who knows people also may be followed if there was any good pioneering example set by...
Days remained hectic throughout college life..But i loved those and still miss .There were challanges everyday.Long classes,hostel descipline,internal competition to some extent and all that.
But key thing which has been disappearing from me eversince i passed out of college is the stamina to sit and concentrate on study.I did not leave study..After 2 years of work ,i joined some real difficult courses which i felt will take me towards better tomorrow ...i tried and really tried alot.
But some how i have yet been not able to recollect that ability.Special to mention was 1 week of real intense study of Wines in my final year with my close pal Amit...We studied during days and nights,like two crazy men,as if were are studying for cancer research..We wanted to conquer the toughest field in hoteliering .Because of technicality people used to avoid it ,and thus it became a horror somehow....Mugging up names of complex wines from various parts of world,getting a feel of their character,origin,manufacturing etc. etc. became our passion for a week....And really i am still amused at our success to be able to do that..How could we?That was so different.when we did not even know famous french wines properly ,just in a span of week we were talking in language of wines from remote places like Israel,Yugoslavia and Cyprus etc....We literally were able to mug up that some 270 pages long book on wines....
having that confindence really boosted our morale and i am sure it helped me in later part of my first job life.
But talking of now,i just can not concentrate,at times get a feel that WELL ,am really getting old....at times feel that i need a study buddy like those in my college.I really feel so called toughest and prestigeous courses are no big deal if i can sit like that 1 week.
Apart from that now a days life is much more complex,demanding coz my responsibilities doesn't end with my bread earning for myself ,it extends to my family's future,my company's prospects and of course for my dreams for future...
I must be able to focus on what i need to do and accomplish the tasks.
To be truthful when i read about youngster cricketers Like Irfan Pathan and Suresh Raina,telling their stories that how they tried to remain focused for success ,i drive SOME amount of motivation...But huh!! it's not enough.
As i always said "Self motivation is best motivation" ..So got to move on same.
BTW,i just typed down all this coz i wanted to spend some time thinking aobut all this and hopefully i can draw some motivation.....

Hitler

Huh! I am reading Mein Kampf ( My Fight ) these days...autobiograophy of the so called most tyrant ruler in the world history ..Adolf Hitler.
It is not that his character mesmarises me but certainly if it is claimed that mere his orating skills turned peacful and laid back Germans into fanatics and nationalists..there must be something in the guy! and that is why i wanted to read his speeches ,i went through some including one of his last public speeches in Munich.
To me except for a few points he sounded like a perfect and ideal leader,or let me say my idea he WAS a pretty good leader but his causes had a tinge of hatred again a race ,which i don't feel like endorsing as per me one can not generalise character of any race ,which Hitler did...Personally i weight a person Only Individually as per his ability and capability ,notions or races and other barriers hardly affect this per me.
But yeah! some suprising learning i got like BEETLE car model from VOLKSWAGON ,is actually a design by Hitler himself...This is an evergreen model and still in sale since 1930's ..Amazing it is ..Beetle is highest eversold car model...Hitler gave new life to war trodden Germany..He pulled Germans to new hights of perfect in the fields of art and science and technology....It was his love for Architecture ,painting and design that gave many wornderful structures to Germany,unfortunately many of them got damaged in 2nd world war.The highways he built "AUTO HANN" still remain uncomparable in technique..
Well ,as i grew old i started realising that every coin has two sides ...every so called good thing has a bad side and every so called bad thing has a brighter side as well...people tend to make their ideas based on the history book and media of their time and also from the stories they hear since their child hood...But mind it ..it can be true it can be false..Searching truth is an intersting thing.
It is said that history is always written by a VICTOR..and he literally recreates history so as to be learnt by the coming generations Till the invent of internet it has remained the sole trend all over the world.one tried to capture history books ,writes goody goody autobiographies ,tend to label lost enemies as WORST people ,always!
In world war 2 for example ,blaming the axis powers Germany/Italy and Japan solely for everything wrong happened is unjust.People of whole of the countries and mind it, well educated countries were not fool to follow thier leaders to play the roles of the villains...they were actually one of the co heroes of the war movie who were made to be villain after loosing.For example after loosing first world war Germany was made to pay all the war expenses ,at the expense of it's own people..France and UK took larger chunk of German pie as germans went helpless after loosing.These nations wealth kept swelling at the expense of Germany..Germans were fighting deep crisis of resources and poverty,which made them spring back aggressively ,that is why Hitler got his supports from fellows.
Infact if i look back i feel Brits/French were more brutal in the treatment of locals when they captured colonies all over world (read Asia Africa specially),as compared with Germans..German did not have so many colonies...Who imposed Indigo famring in Bengal despite of knowing that it makes the soil unfertile for any other use....killing bengalis due to lack of food..They( Brits) did it for short time money as Indigo had a good market in Europe...They imposed shut down of all the cotton mills in India so as Indians will have to buy cotton from Manchestar Mills which were lossing business due to tough competion by mills in Kanpur,Surat and Bombay etc. Millions in India went jobless and they had no way to survive..Who killed thousands brutaly in jalianwala bagh...Brits..Well same kind of atrocities and inhuman treatment was given to locals of africa and Latin America by French and Espaniards respectively....Why blame only Germans..I belive Churchill was as bad a Hitler....

How to kill cockroaches

Here is a simple recepie time and my tested to get rid of cockroaches.
Take equal quantity of refined wheat flour and Boric acid powder( also called boric powder) ,add a bit of milk and good amount of sugar,roll it into balls and keep it at the dark and marshy places in your home (especialy kitchen ) where your expect raoches to grow most!
I was helpless coz of roaches growth in my kitchen and not a single medicine was good enough as after a while roaches were getting immune to it ....then someone suggested me this and now there is not a single unwanted guest in my kitchen now for months.
BORIC ACID POWDER is a white colored powder very cheaply and easily available on medical /chemists shops and is also used to keep your feet free from any bacterial or fungal growth ...
