-: Dreamer's Den! :-

My Times, My Voice - by Times of India / Indiatimes group has asked one good question about Bangalore and the question is: How can we facilitate a smooth passage for ambulances in Bangalore? One of the worst ever death a person can face is dying in a ambulance just because of traffic jam!! Multiple people, multiple answers and some very frustrated people also keying-in their frustrations! I have posted one simple solution for this question and here it is: ============================ ======= The simple solution lies in the hands of our fellow traffic policemen, who should be made aware of the incoming ambulance to that junction and then they should be able to send wireless message to the next signal(s) traffic police. I have seen many instances when inspite of those sirens put on and the ambulance waiting to zoom over, these traffic police doesnt seem to bother. Instead they just stand and wait for green signal to be shown, which is so pathetic! So, make use of the technology

29-march-2003, Saturday, the fateful day which has made a mark in my memory forever! The day when two things happened in my life - first and foremost, I lost my dear beloved friend, in front of my eyes and second, god gifted me life again! Now, 5 years back, the same Saturday has come back and still I cannot believe that I have lost my dear friend, 'babu' Vinod Jetty. All happened within a period of just 1 hour, 1925hrs he was very well there, with me, talking to me, making jokes and sharing his future dreams and 2025hrs, just 1 hour later, he was declared dead! Again it proves that anything and everything can happen in no-time, even death and this is the best example. On the other hand, god took my friend's life in front of my eyes, on my laps but gifted me the second chance of life to live, to live by cherishing the memories of my dear friend. Miss you my dear Jetty babu, let you soul remain in peace and let your family members get courage to overcome your absence. [

Yesterday went to watch the new movie RACE. Its all about race for money and once again, nothing comes first other than money and that is what the movie is all about! Saif performance and his style in the entire movie is good and pretty fresh. Bips, as usual, is a bomb that explodes everytime she is on screen! Apart from these two, Akshay performance was good. Anil Kapoor, even in his late 40s or early 50s rocks!! Katrina and Sameera are ok. Abbas-Mustan has done OK job by revolving the story from start to end to start again! Dont have high expectations from this movie, not at all comparable to what GUPT delivered! Overall, ok time pass movie that can be watched once! Then itself you feel its a 'butter' biscuit movie :-)

Had a good 15-days break in my motherland India and now back to business here, in the City of the Future - Dubai! Its good to be back here but feel bad to leave the family and friends over there, in India. I miss them a lot and given my personal family condition, sometimes I think enuf of this 'foreign'/'onsite' and better settle down in our cool hometown! As the proverb in Kannada goes - 'Nammooru namage channa' (means our place is always fine) - I want to live by this :-) Back here, with my wife, who has come only because of me and just me! I should thank god for giving such a lovely and understandable wife for my life!! I feel so so bad for her since she has to sit all alone in that small studio room and spend most of the day in that room. I really appreciate her patience and the sacrifice she is doing for me. Its not an easy way for a working woman to sit idle at home (one small room!) without much work..hard to pass time and especially in a foreign land,
