Crowd Together Astronauts of the world!

 

9-6-99

Yesterday in Times of India it is reported that

Astronauts in space flight gang up

 and have emotional interactions.

I could not believe it. Are they not h

educated and balanced people.

Are they not trained to be

in control of their mind and emotions.

From early childhood, I

could not gang up

or understand others'

ganging up. If it is part of

human nature, why it is not with me? 

Why I Consider it strange and despicable?

AM I a born leveller? Up against any 

system or mechanism that accords

power to some gang or to some group. 

Or is it in self defence people gang up, 

they invariably do making me to lose

 my cool on them. 

Why can't they be independent? 

Always they "Crowd Together", shout

 and monopolise,

 I have seen such things only in low c

people and manual labourers. 

Why people living on their knowledge and intelligence would follow such base habits?

The Competition for power, money and other desirable things make people to fight as a group, if the individuals are not confident of facing it alone. And

Time management of a day in life

 Time management!

Many people are able to live with ambiguity and its related stress, I lacked this so far.

Do not expect to be written about that's not a requirement. 

Publicity is important. But it need not be our purpose. Material security to our purpose.

(Later: Publicity is important for material security)

-1PM - Adhikari PRN Neelay Spoken to -

Life after "difficult times".

 1. There is no governance in India.

2. All fellows are crooks and worldly-wise.

3. Relationship has to be B-U-I-L-T AND K-E-P-T.

4. Consider all as teammates and cultivate.

5. Honesty does not requires any P-R-O-P.

6. Friday 4-6-99, the day I shouted at a security man is the last anger in my life.

7. Take the first step immediately, I-M-M-E-D-I-A-T-E-L-Y and pursue. You are not strong in important future oriented tasks,

8. You are now only starting the life after sickness, personal failures and departmental trauma - and you have no good habits.

 

Only brooding and reading they do not help. 

The sermonising books also do not help.

9.Do not fight with DOT vigilance fellows, understand them -Do necessary work - 

Begin with calling writing, referencing, & then CAT (TESA, ITSA, friends, batchmates).

P-S. As of today, the paradigm has further shifted, that if we are born, we are bound to live and that is the totality of life. Details are not matters for life.

Swaminathan has three daughters Vidya, Sowmya etc.

Behave as per your status, do not confuse others by multiple roles. It is a waste of time.

6-6-99 Sunday

From morning till afternoon did not go anywhere, reading news only. 

In the afternoon, went to Sanjay Gandhi National Park.

So much crowd. 

Train is the only feature.

Forgot all about the rest.

Romance is a matter of timing, the girl has to give in before the boy gives up.

Evening went to Juhu by 203- upto Barfi Boad- it is only S.V. Road-going south on the way, Kandivili, Theatre Govasvadi junction, Malad Exchange, Exchange Quarters and GM West II, of Mahindra Garden, Goregaon, Cinemax, Jogeshwari Exchange, Andheri & JP Road Jn, HSBC, McDonalds, Andheri Station Barfi Road - turns left, again to right to ISKCON Road - To South Guru Nanak Road   Got down at Traffic, led to many problems in locating the stop in the return.

The Vinayak Temple has many visitors. Utpal Singh School - long and occupies the street.

Chandan Theatre_ ISKCON  temple- mobbed on Sunday esp. the Canteen - not able to track Juhu, Return by 298 to Andheri via a bus with I.M.A in background, the J.P. Road, AH Wadia School (Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan) Naurang theatre, Andheri market (missed 203, 5 times, not stopping), New Era Cinema, Gem Wines opposite Tana, R.K. Wine in Malad after Poisar ,

Bus too slow, came at 1040, started at Juhu at 0740, memory is so unreliable, repetition and association strengthen it.

When I wake up, if I think of results, I become moody and

unexcited(melancholic). Instead think of first steps, actions and important long term actions.

Prabhadevi

 Today I did not go to Prabhadevi demoralised by the suggestion of G.Raman. What a decisive and compelling suggestion ?

But with such people better not to argue, for it will lead to their becoming busybodies on my matters. Better to learn the tricks of handling power as well as personal safety from him and such others.

From 2.30 PM watched the much nervously expected India Australia cricket match. The steady 89 of Mark Waugh was not appreciated by me until I saw Sachin, Dravid, Ganguly and Azar packed off for 20, three by McGrath. 

"The duel between Tendulkar and McGrath will be decisive" Times touted. But what a duel it turned out to be. Such an anti-climax , not once, twice, thrice but four times. Where was the duel predicted?

Clearly if there is a Sachin there will be a Glenn.

In the opinion survey , four out five suggested Sachin to bat in the -gain more nens. One man suggested failure. It turned out to be so. A vote for conservatism. Also if a thing has a chance to fail it will fail.

After 17/4 , I thought all will be gone for 50; But Ajay and Robin stood against the same Glenn attack and scored 8o each. It is marvellous. They took risk, but they had no choice.

Also today Swaminathan

spoke in the morning and offered to locate central schools for me. If one G-Raman spoils my time there is another S. Nathan who will be making it. Different People have different altitudes towards others but G. Raman must be too much creature-like! 

I have to stick to my time management habit without clashing against anybody, standing on my own feet. I need not expect others' sympathy as well as acrimony. The latter is more dangerous, for all people are very eager and experts in giving out acrimony. They seem to be storing up a lot of heat to release at any trivial opportunity as Moghe did.

Strategy for Schools in Bombay.

 Collect information over phone and through acquaintance. Pursue your work harder than before. Ganpats of Bombay are unimaginably insensitive , ruthless and fraudulent. Ganpat is only an example.

Be alert and on the lookout, CGM sounded serious about quarter and it must be real.

Borivali to Mankhurd takes 3-1/2 hours

 I packed the minimum essential,along with the book, Stephen Covey- 7 Habits, and went straight to Gokul. The ticket price now became 200 and I was immediately occupying a seat in the 130 pm service by Sai travels. I hurriedly got a packet of veg. biriyani and ate it as lunch in the bus itself. 

The bus started from Borivili at 0130 PM. 

 The bus was travelling to various parts of Bombay- Kandivali,Wadala, Bandra, Chembur etc. and picking up passengers to fill it's capacity to half .

After 3½ hours, it left Bombay, via Mankhurd only at 5 PM.

andnd halted at the border of Panvel for tea & O.C brandy for the driver who was handling till then. The barman sold me a Howard's 5000 for 65 instead of Rs. 40.

From Panvel onwards I was watching that both sides of the road hills are stretching but I was later on surprised that during the whole night the bus was traversing hilly terrain, many times scaling the hills on Ghat roads. Till early morning 5 AM, it did not reach level ground and when it reaches it was already in Goa.

Bike taxi driver of Bambo

 Bambolim bike taxi driver who didn't return

The busman asked as to board. another bus to go to Panjim which we did and reached half an hour later a point in Panjim . 

When I have climbed down two or three youths on Scooter and motorbike, enquired whether we require taxis. I was thinking that he will go and bring a car and the fare will be high. But when the next boy asked it occurred that the motorbike itself is the taxi. 

The boy told that the fare for Bambolim is Rs.30 and he will drop me at my correct address. The boy knew neither Hindi nor English and the conversation took place with the help of signs and gestures.

After a brief bike ride, we came opposite to Bambolim medical college and noticed the board indicating directions to the Telecom stores. The bike taxi boy took me through a wood and brought before the store compound. 

With much ease the VIP room was occupied by me. I enquired with the taxiboy whether he will take me around the tourist spots and he agreed and waited in the room.Due to language problem he could not explain me the fares he will charge. After a while he left at 0630 AM saying he will return at 730 AM but he never returned.

Visited Marine Drive at 5pm,

walking down from Church Gate station via Jai Hind College & Basant singh college for women (Sind Educationall Society) I reached a place opposite the building 'Jyoti Sadan'. Exactly ahead into Arabian Sea is the Malabar Hill jutting into the sea .

I sat on the wall, like many others, which is built where

the sea waves are breaking against the boulders down below. The sound of the waves is mild some times and roaring other times.

10 km from this point is the Mahim Bay and the VSNL, Prabhadevi and Telephone House points.

Nariman point can be seen clearly from here to the south.

High rise buildings of yellow and pink about twenty in number all similar in build, height and style lining the point west to east.

 Marine Drive is not even a poor substitute for the Beach road of Marina in Madras.

 In length width and grandeur Marina Drive is far more

enchanting than Marine Drive.

I broke the spectacles and spoiled the mood. 

Also, the entire stretch of marine drive gets dating couples who display their romance very openly, and boldly.

While the onlookers are eager but embarrassed to watch, the players themselves do not seem to have any bothers. They indulge in show-off care-free.
