Torture Continuing

As I have told you before, we shifted succesfully to the new house. But still a lot of work is still pending and getting them done is like a pain in the ass. We wait for the required fools to come and they never turn up even with a lot of requests being made.

My only hope is that they do it. Thats all enough.

(Short post cause no internet problem and cafe damn useless.)

Living Without Technology

Its horrible living without technology like computer and television and even radio and I found out about this feeling while staying in the new house (which I am doing right now). Its like stuck in a jail and for me its like death. It’s just that I have always used the Internet frequently and I browse different site like Facebook, blogger. Its just quite different from everyday life, that is, living in the same neighborhood and not having any facilities like other. My parents can adjust quickly because they have been in that situation before but for me its hell. And with this thought I was just thinking that how would life be when the technology disappears all of a sudden or even if there is a chance if the theme for Die Hard 4.0(Virtual Terrorism) happens really. It’s very hard to cope up with but it might just happen within a few clicks here and there.
So, am just telling you folks out there who are stuck to the internet or any technology, It'll be a nightmare coming alive and am warning you: BE READY!!.

A Historic Century by Anil Kumble

India Vs England
Day 2, 2nd Test , The Oval

Well today was a very historic day for India and especially for Anil Kumble(The Leg Spinner from the Indian Cricket Team) because he scored his maiden century which took him 118 test matches to achieve it. Well at least he's made a record doing so by becoming the first player to take the most number of test matches to score a century by beating the previous record holder,Chaminda Vaas. Its a damn good and a brilliant milestone in his long career.

Leaving Anil Kumble's miraculous century aside, the Indian Cricket Team also had a good day today as they scored a mammoth total of 664 and the best part of it was that the highest scores came from the 6th and 7th position who were M S Dhoni and Anil Kumble, and even more interesting thing than that is only one century came out of the whole list of famous player and that to, it came from a bowler.

All I can say is that, with this day India have literally won the series and there is by no chance that England can recover from this mountainous task and after doing that over power India also.

Chak De India...

Two Tiring days in a row...

Well, as I said in the earlier blog that getting things done while constructing a flat is crazy. I went through another tiring patch, yesterday and today. It was actually horrifying to be with people not listening to you and if the do, they don't get the main aim of doing it.

Yesterday, I told the cleaners to finish the center hall and the other room the next day (that was today). But as usual, they didn't listen to what I said and they did it. Now again I have to catch them and get the work done because today some cement workers came and dropped the cement all round the place.

Today, I had to shift the whole lot of furniture to the other room as the person I told couldn't get someone to come and help me. Because of this I hadn't have my lunch also. Another incident was that a small kid was told to do the work like applying cement and cleaning the toilet up and all.

I took so much trouble in doing things and getting things done but I haven’t complained and I have taken it in the right spirit.

So in the end, the moral of the story is to be stubborn when you have to be stubborn and so be it.

Getting Things done in Bangalore

My father bought a new flat in Bangalore for me and my parents. The building is yet to be completed but we have told the person in charge that we want it now because we require it urgently.
We started pestering him about the completion and he told us that, let the carpentry work get over and then we will proceed.

We got carpenter at the quickest and told him to do a basic job like the cupboards and kitchen cabinets. It took the carpenter a month or so to finish the job completely and now we (in the sense me and my family) are again after the person in charge.

The guy then gives us a day (saturday) that he will completely finish the job and he will see to it that it finishes. Most of the work was supervised by my brother who was coming daily to the house and looking after it but now he wanted to go to the village side with my parents. That’s when he gives me the responsibility to take care of the house and that I had to see that it finishes by saturday and that everything is perfect.
Days pass by and only painters do their job and none of the other work is complete. I try to contact people who might be in charge but no one takes responsibility and another thing is that while doing so, I was about a pick a fight with the drunken owner but it didn't happen because I understand situations pretty quickly and am a smart guy. After the various interactions with various people, I finally get to meet the real person in charge and keep telling him about the problems I have. He then tells me that all the workers have gone to another construction site and the work can't be completed by Saturday. He then asks for time till Monday.
I was like okay and begged him to do the stuff on Monday at least.

Monday(Today): I go there with all intentions of work going on and everyone's busy doing their work but all I see is that the room is completely deserted and there's no one doing work. I go in search of there person I talked to the previous time but he never answered the calls I sent to him. I went back to their office on site and asked them for an explanation but another guy again says the same reason as before that the people have gone to the other site area and nothing can be done today and everything will be surely done by tomorrow, Tuesday.

So, for tomorrow I have no high expectations that work will be done but if hasn't been started as yet, then not even a single person on this universe who would see me as angry as I would predict.

Scooty Accident

Today when riding on the my sister's Honda Activa, a guy in a Maruti Omni came in and banged me on the side on the Activa. Luckily, I escaped the crash by few inches.

The whole story goes this way, I was sent to withdraw money from the bank. I take the normal route but find out that it’s extremely jammed. So I take the longer way to the normal. After crossing of about 700 meters, I wait to take a turn. At this time, I suddenly see an Omni speeding up at coming directly at me. I try to move front but nothing is happening. It all happened so fast that I moved enough to save my leg but I couldn't have saved the inevitable, The Omni stopped at a quick pace but still he banged into the Activa. His brake helped me hold still the balance of the bike and keep it still standing but still the Omni dented a deep hole in the back part of the scooty. I got damn angry by this and started scolding at him for not looking and driving.(Here the sad part of the whole story)He then told me that lets go to the police station and I ,like an idiot, straight said okay okay and went away ,running of like a scared dog.

The issue is that, I ride without license and if we went to the police then I would be the one responsible for the whole accident as I don’t have a license and am riding.

Continuing

I go about 50 meters ahead and then call up my sister who then tells me,"Go get the money and come back, its okay." I go till there with even more scared feelings and I went very very cautiously and got the money back as slowly as possible. After coming back I put oil on my leg because the accident had a scratch on my leg and then off.My sister and the people in the house were talking about it but I went on with my future endeavors of the day as I didn’t want to face the humiliation.

Man! Now I find out that waiting on the roads for signals is also damn risky. Take Care.
