This is from a trip that i had a few months back.. with three of my college friends... you can find some of the fotographs as well at this link : http://photos.yahoo.com/prashant_bhardwaj

Hi everyone... i have been thinking of writing something for a long time.. and here i am today... with my trip to Bhimtal... its a long story which should not have been cut short for any reasons.. so read it if you have time.. if not.. never mind..


Ok... so i am back from a trip to Bhimtal... it would be injustice to call it to Bhimtal because I do not think i left anything that was worth being at and we did not visit it.. after all i am expecting about 118 photografs to be developed for these two days.. and there have neet been any fotos taken in the night... so some real beauty is on its way from the fotographer's shop to mine...

we reached kathgodam at 7:30 in the morning on Saturday and took at cab to reach bhimtal in about 30 minutes.. checked in that hotel there after bargaining on the room cost.. so finally he agreed to 500 buks for the room.. cheap we thought.. but that was the start.. we go ready to move out of the room by about 1030 hours and after having breakfast at a neat resort which costed us about 200 bucks we moved to the point from where we could get a cab to the place from where we were planning to paraglide to naukuchiatal. Our bad luck.. the winds were not strong enough for adults to take that awesome route to the beautiful lake called naukuchital. ok so after waiting for like 2 hours we decided to move on... now that we were sure that we are not taking the normal route, we decided to trek down to the lake.. after walking downhill for about 45 minutes, we could reach, naukuchital... ammazing lake.. no big hotels, none infact.. just a few restaurants, some cabs, and a govt. guest house... so we decided to rent a shikara in that huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge lake and enjoy boating.. just 120 bucks for about 40 minutes... we were four of us, me Waquar, Ashish and Rupak... taking turns to row that boat and sit on the other edge as well enjoying the water.. lovely views, lovely water, beautiful boat.... but then it was already like 1500 hrs and our stomachs wanted some attention too.. so we asked the boatman as to where we could eat food.. he suggested us to visit a small shop/restaurant where the kadhi chawal was neat... we four of us ate like pigs there.. and were full upto the brim.. food so tasty and fresh.. just like our homes.. and what did it cost.. 200 bucks i guess... ya it was 200 bucks.. ok, now though we were sleepy there was a lot of gound to cover.. to start with we wanted to find out how to get back to bhimtal...

we talked to some of the cab drivers there and were more then happy to transfer us back to bhimtal in a mere 100 bucks.. but we were not willing to spend that kinda money on a cab... so we asked some ppl as to what was the distance to bhimtal... and here is what we hear.. 4 kms.. why do we need to hire a cab.. so though we were like a li'il tired and full of food.. we decided to move on... and walked about 2.5 kms before we got a cab which was coming back to naukuchiyatal.. travelled about 1.5 kms in that with 5 bucks a person and reached bhimtal back at around 4:30 i guess... now the question was what to do the entire evening... so we decided to go to sattal.. and spend the evening there... about 9 kms away it is also considered to be a great lake... we talked to a few ppl and took a maruti car for 250 buks to go to Sat-tal and back.. Waquar as always was the one to take a lead in bargaining and getting us the right rates... reach there after driving through the hills and enjoying the great weather.... in about 30 minutes... on our way.. saw a lake called Garud Tal which is full of snakes... and after that came the world famous Quote from our friend Rupak.. " thank God snakes do not fly":) what a darling rupak is.. one of the very few guys with a heart of gold ... anyway.. we moved from there... and reached Sattal... what an awesome place.. surrounded by very dense forests and a big lake in between.. we did not feel like boating there.. coz we already had done that a few hours back... so we decided to just stroll around the lake... and finally sat at one point with our feet inside the water.. this was soemthing that really relaxed us completely... no fatigue nothing... after staying there with our feet inside water for about 30 minutes we decided to come back to bhimtal and relax again... so we had tea.. and buransh ka sharbat.. which is supposed to clear your blood.. another one of the comments which Waquar made here.. when the shopkeeper told us what this sharbat does... Waquar was very prompt in asking him "Ek hi botel se saara khoon saaf ho jayega kya ?" The shopkeeper as hundreds of others did not have an answer to Waqua bhai's instant questions :)
so we moved from there and reached bhimtal back again in the late evening.. having nothing to do.. we sat at one side of bhimtal having chips.. and watching a delhi school teacher shouting her lungs out on some of the kids who were late to come back to the bus which was waiting for them to move from Bhimtal... after all that natak we moved to our hotel.. not sure of what we want to do next.. i bought a ludo and while we were taking our turns to get fresh and all... we were also playing the age old still interesting game of saanp seedi... ok though tired.. but still with a lot of energy we were thinkg what should we do next... being practical at this hour made us rest and not freak ourself out in the evening.. so after we decided there is nothing more that we want to achieve in that calender day we decided to arrange for a movie... so we rented a VCD player and got two CDs one Hum Tum and the other Aan.. strange enough.. the CD rent was only 10 bucks as compared to 30 bucks that i pay in noida... anyway.. we were all pleasently surprised that we could arrange for the movies.. and were planning to watch the movie after our dinner... so there we were out of our decent hotel room and out on thebank of the lake towards the Neelesh Inn where we had our breakfast... we had tipped the waiter intentionally in the morning so that he would take care of the food in the evening as well.. and so he did... though he was kinda tired after his days work... so we ate and ate and ate and managed to get a bill about 420 bucks after a stomach and neck full of dinner.. the 15 minute walk back to the hotel we were staying in helped us digest that food... ok so back to the hotel room.. and waiting for themovie to start... the CD player would not work... aaaaaaaargh we really wantd to watch hum tum... anyway... we did our own bit of RnD with the player an the data cable connecting the tv to the Player but it kept crashing like the Mig 21s these days... we could not watch the movie... and finally mananged to go to sleep at 2330 hours.

End of Day ONE.

Day 2:
Waquar woke me up around 7 and told me that it was raining outside and the weather was really cold... somehow i managed to get out of the blanket which in which i was.... (Blanket without a fan... and it was like 40 deg in Delhi... the thought brought a smile to me as well) and went outside.. to feel wht i cannot put in words... awesome is the only word that comes to my mind again and again... it was kinda drizzling outside and the air was pretty cold.. and i just want to get ready and g out of the room on the street to enjoy that day too... so the project to wake up the gentle giant Rupak and Ashish started.. and we would win only half the battle.. Rupak got up and me and waquar got ready during that time.... while rupak was getting ready and Ashish was still trying to get the answer to the famous Bollywood Question "Main Kahan hoon?" me and waquar got outside and went for a walk next to the bhimtal... cold and clean water.. cewl breeze... no noise.. only birds and water...and the occasional vehicles on the road next to the lake...lovely sight... we took like 20 minutes and then went back to the hotel... packed our stuff and checked out by 0900 hours... it was still raining but occasional drops and this time we decided not to go to the same resort we had breakfast and dinner at... so we went to the local market and entered a small time restaurant.. and ordered some paranthaas and bread omlette... it took at good 20 minutes for the breakfastto be served but when we had the first bite we knew it was every second worth the wait... again ate like pigs and reached the cheque of about 200 buks... but the breakfast could not have been better.. no way... now the rest of the day.... we hd to go to bhowali.. and then to nainital from there and spend the rest of the day in nainital. bt destiny and fate and planned something different for us.. we took a shared cab at 8 bucks per persn to bhowali and then decided not to visit the ghodakhaal mandir which we initially wantd to go to.. and took a maruti van to nainital instead... while talking to the driver we came to know about the places andchanged our mind.. hired the same cab to roam around uttaranchal.. and gather as mch a we could in that day.. so we wnt to ghodakhal.... this is a small temple and the learned say that the movie Baaz was shot here... dunno if you know it or not.. bt this the temple which has i guess the maximum number of bells in it.. over a lakh i guess... woooooooo man.. too gud.. spent about 30 minutes there and then moved towards Mukteshwar... we were right now at about 4000 feet and mukteshwar at 8500 feet... here we go... about two hours drive and 100s of bends on the dangerous roads... but the most beautiful views of orchids of apple, peach, apricots and what not... a temprature of 14-16 degs... we could not have asked for more.. and yes not to forget teh bunglows in these hills... awesome. you think youhave seen beautiful houses in delhi or nearby... then you gotta go there and surprise yourself.... so we reach mukteshwar and then back to bhowali and then to nainital... by about 6 in the evening... amazing awesome mind blowing 100 kms of drive in the hills....
as soon as we reached nainital... all teh four of us hated it ... add all the cars and ppl and hotels we had seen in the last 36 hours.. multiply it by 10 and nainital was still more then that... chandni chaowk is less crowded i guess.... anywa.y.. we just roamed around there... went for a swing in a giant wheel... which rupak found a li'il hard to handle... visited the naina devi temple... had dinner.. bought some squashes... and took the bus back to delhi....
End of DAY 2....
This was our trip... just the way it happened....
managed to take about 118 fotographs on the trip and spent around 1500 bucks person... including everything... cheap but mroe then we could ask for...
and yes... we four among us also plan to visit and cover the entire uttaranchal in 2004... interested ppl.. more then welcome to get in touch with us.......

A fRiEnD iN NeEd !!!

Continuing the thought on friends.. and how do they contribute to your being a better human being.. a few friends like Bhoomi, are the ones who would not need anything to give their best to you... they would always be there on matter how bad you have been to them... even if you want to talk to them after weeks they would still sound happy.. rather then complaining about where you were the entire time... there is always a lot of energy and enthu in them and that is something that gives you all the relief that you have been waiting for... How can i forget that she is my first love.. and because of the situations we just could not be together.. our relationship was not to be materialise as a marriage though both of us wanted it bad... After months of pain , and trauma... we realised each others need, and have matured to a relationship which is true friendship... she lives a life of her own.. which involves her new crushes.. the guys she likes.. the kinda guy she would like to get married to .. and we share those thoughts.. what a relationship... and at the same point of time.. i am most comfortable talking to her... I have more respect for her then most of the ppl i know for all what she has faced and has come out as a winner... A lot of ppl ask me, if you guys are so good together.. why don't you get married and all those things.. its a long story and the crux is that we are not supposed to be even friends, but i guess we value and respect each others presence in our lives so much that we need each other as the person who would listen.. who will be around.. afcourse life would go on the way it shoud.. but i would not loose a friend that i got in her... anyway...

Another type of friends.. Narang.. oops... Gaurav Narang... a friend and a competitor at the same time.. we started together in Hughes and worked very hard together to be Team Leads and then I moved out to IT software support and now to Process Consulting... and he at the same time he continued his efforts is today a Ops Astt. Manager with Hughes.. he deserves it anyday.. he is one person who has influenced me a lot and we have taken each others growth as our goals.. one grows then the other guy will not be jealous rather he would be happy for the other and work harder to be better then the other... We have moved ahead on parallel paths and what a race it has been....

A few more, who cannot be left out and have been around... one way or the other.. Gaurav Marwaha (My idol for dedication and hardwork), Meghana Jain ( a great designer.. awesome writer.. and a good thinker).. Waquar ( very calm composed no nonsense human being.. ), Sandeep Verma ( friends since class III.. great company to be with...), and there have been lots and lots of ppl who have contrinuted to my growth and success...

Other then all of these ppl there have been some who have left but only after giving me a lot of pain and agony.. friends who behave as if you are one of the most important person in their lives, and then back stab you.. again and again.. till the time you do not find it, you continue thinking that they really are friends.. but the moment you start know about things which you should not.. you loose faith and trust in them as well as friendship... Another Category... ppl who would not understand and be proactive about what you would need out of the friendship that you share.. and after one point when you have lost all hope and are moving out.. you are blamed that you do not understand, you do not treat ppl good.. and what not.. Some friends have a dream world of their own... they meet you.. get along well... then make a small world out of the thoughts that they have for you.. and then it crashes... coz the other person was never thinking that way... THE END of a sweet something that was moving towards a good friendship... they make their own worlds.. their expectations do not get fulfilled because of the other person not thinking that way.. and then they change... This is my side of looking at the entire set of episodes... There is another side to it.. the side which the ppl concerned with these would be able to tell more and then lemme know that I was insensitive their needs, i hurt them a lot, i was not listening to what they had to say.. and lots of things more which go well in way to say that i have been a bad friend..

dunno what i have written.. but i feeling a li'il better after writing.. i do not say i have been doing the right things all the time... but the truth is that i have lost a lot of faith and trust in being friends because of whatever has happened.. leaving li'il room for emotions in my life anymore !!!!

wEeKeNd CaMe & wEnT !!! 2 FaSt

Saturday and Sunday spent nicely...
Satuday spent doing nothing.. mostly sleeping.. and troubling my eyes with a lot of television.. all nonsense.. except a few programs like "The Amazing Race", "The next Action Star", even watched Munna bhai once again.. i have the CD so i can watch it whenever i feel like... Saturday night rocked.. Went to Gurgaon to a friends place where everyone from Hughes came.. all the Team leads.. new and old.. left or still there.. The managers, Ex-managers.. a gang of about 20 guys who had loads of fun the entire night.. movies, music, daaru (n/a for me), and tons of completely useless nonsensical talks... hahahahah.. it was great fun... Was planning to be back home by about 0200 hrs but managed to reach only at 0600... too tired.. and went off to sleep right away... had to get up @ 0800 as mama had to come over... which he did and i got up.. talked to him.. watched the movie Garv... and in the evening went to Sector-18 with mom for some homework for my car...

Got a remote locking system and a gear lock fixed.. it was great fun.. but the weekend seemed to be very short... today morning i got up at 0630 and got ready quickly... but dunno why am feeling very sad.. i guess i am feeling lonely... feeling as if there is no one around who would like to share my happiness with me... was remembering all the people who were in my life at one point of time.. calling themselves friends and turned out to be people who were only fakes... i am sad and angry both for being an idiot while making friends.. and trusting a lot of them for nothing.. but at the same time.. i cannot thank them enough for teaching me the kinda lessons which true friends cannot teach !!! God bless them all !!!

So today I finally have what I was been waiting for... My brand new Palio... what a road presence that 1242 cc Car has... i mean its awesome... Very heavy car and that is why low mileage in terms of fuel.. but comfort, safety, styling, nothing at all has been compromised.. i am really in love...Dad has said a strict no no to taking that car for a trip for the next 6 months, or till the time he feels that I have control over the car and am driving it fine... hehehe.. this is kinda cute.. anyway.. i still am waiting for the registration to be done so that i can start bringing the car to the office.. but that is going to take another week or so.. and till that time.. my dame is going to be parked @ home...


i think i should give her a name... what should i be calling her... mmmmmmmmmmm........ thinking.. thinking.. thinking.....

tOdAy iS d' DaY

Yesterday evening was a good day... My new car has finally arrived in the Showroom and would be ready for Delivery today after the Teflon and the Anti Rust coating... which made the hole burnt in my pocket a li'il larger... but i guess this is really needed...Ok which car are we talking about here... its a PALIO Nv 1.2 Sports, Ferrari Red in colour... Comes fully loaded and i am moving the stereo from my old car the gud ol' maruti 800 to this one till i have some money to buy a new deck... I can't beleive that i am completly broke.. but i am a happy man at the end of the day.. i finally am buying my new car.. Have worked really hard for this day to come.. had issues with friends when i was working and did not give them enough time, and they thought that i did not want their company and all that... but failed to understand that they do have really high priority in my life but if i do no slog now then WHEN?A few of them understand and appreciate this fact and are still around... some of them changed completely and i doubt we are even close to being called friends.. i don't know.. its hard to keep everyone around you happy.. there has to be a choice made sometime or the other.. and these choices are usually very tough and are not intentional either...

Anyway... I am happy that i would be the proud owner of a Brand New Red Palio today evening... I fell in love which it the moment i saw it and i will own it now... Wish me luck...
God bless us all !!!

To mArRy or nOt 2 MaRrY

Ok.... Pros and Cons of getting married !!!
~ You have someone to come back to everyday.. unless he/she is in a travelling job...
~ You have someone who would stand by you come whatever may...
~ You get to live with someone who would share every thought (may be) that crosses your mind.. and compliments you in everything that you do...~ You have the security of not being alone...
All these things happen in a ideal marriage.. do all of them are like this... Dunno... and in India.. you gotta get married coz you gotta get married.. its the culture and the society and wants to see you get married more then you yourself.. Esther, its different in India... Live in Relationships, are just not accepted here !!!
Things which I don't think are letting me think positively about marriage...
~ There are times when you gotta slog and give your work more time then anything else.. would your partner understand this?
~ You might find yourself very uncomfortable answering the questions that now come to you from your partner.. Would you really want to be answering questions about any thing and everything.. anytime and everytime..

(an Orkut response) As far as Farah says.. that you get to spend a lotta money, eat pizzas and drive in your perky green Santro..i do not think that is why i should be getting married.. i can spend being a bachelor.. i like to eat pizzas still and have the Pizza Hut's pizzas more often then not, and about driving around.. i can drive around the town or outside.. in my car when ever i want.. i mean.. on a serious note.. what is marriage got to do with all this?

I think marriages are about those emotional bonds that you make for the rest of your lives.. but how?

Thinking before Saying it

Most of the times I hurt ppl by saying things too bluntly on thier faces.. Bad.. dunno... AM I sorry.. dunno either.. i am one of the ppl who do not know how to sugar coat words.. also that i do not like to hide my feelings inside me..
But that for sure is not the best thing to do at times.. and i do not want ppl to feel bad about things which i did not say to hurt the person... i just hope ppl would understand....

Palio 1.2 Test Driven

Okie doks.. I am back again after a great weekend... As planned did not do anything this weekend.. except checking out some cars and watching a movie.. Ek se Badkar Ek.. what a rotten movie.. i mean i could never expect anything of this sort from someone who has made "Jaane Bhi do Yaaron".. how could he do this to himself and to the poor people of India...

Anyway.. the other important things... I test drove two cars this weekend.. One a 1900 cc Palio D and the other one a 1.2 Palio ELX Wat awesome cars man !!! the Palio D was driven first.. it felt really sluggish for a petrol driver like me.. but i forgot that i gotta rev it up to 4000 rpm before i get any kinda fun out of the engine.. but still the car was good... they call it "Inspired from Aircraft Technology" reasons being the accelerator of a Palio Diesel is not connected thru any wires but is about wireless transmissions of data from the Accelerator Pedal to the engine trigerring off the rest of the game !!! pretty plastic feel inside the car in terms of interiors.. wood finish yes but did not look appealing at all.. atleast to me.. the upholstery is not the finest quality either.. so i had to let that car go out of the options that i had !!!

Next what i did to myself was a great favour and it happened by mistake only.. i was looking for the TATA showroom in noida and instead of taking a right turn took a left from one of the Red Lights... and there was a FIAT showroom "Dynamic Automobiles" right there in front of me !!! Went inside and there was a ferrari Red coloured Palio 1.2 Sports parked there.. what a car in terms of looks.. just awesome.. class apart from the Wagon Rs and the Santros... 14" alloys, red color, chrome plated interiors, white background dials, leather gear knob and steering wheeel.. everything about that car was awesome as i can put it... did not even feel like taking a test drive in any other car after that.. no ikons (though would have burnt a similar hole in my pocket) or the Wagon R VXi or something.. So got Dad to have a look at the car and it was approved for purchase.. i can only say that i fell in love with that car the moment i saw it...

Hoping to post some fotos of the Gaddi when i grab it in the near future !!!!

Spending the Weekend

So, i guess blogging is taking its toll on me as well.. like millions of others who are in the habit of writing everything...
Today I am going to type something about what do i do on a weekend usually, rather what am i planning to do this weekend.. and the lucky winner activity is "Going on test drives in a few cars".
I guess buying a car is not at all difficult, what is difficult is choosing which one to buy.. there is so much to choose from.. and there is a constant conflict between what you want to buy, and what should you buy... lemme explain...

Personally i would like to buy a Scorpio... but the issue here is that dad does not like it.. and its not too convinient in terms of maintainence as well... i am actually tired of driving the old Maruti 800... over 6 years that i am driving that car.. six is it.. lemme recall.. i remember driving this to my college and i started college in 1996.. i guess its about 7 years that i am driving 1990 make Maruti 800... and i really need to graduate to something which is a li'il higher on the road.. the least expensive seems to be a scorpio and it does not look like a cab either...

Ok.. the next choice then comes to the C-class Sedans like Honda City, Ford Ikon, Baleno, Accent, Corsa, Esteem and all.. not necessarily in that order... My views about all of them follow:

City : By far the best choice for a C-class sedan, thanks to its awesome performance, and the new reduced prices... the older model City still costs about 4 Lacs in the used car market.. great mileage of about 15-17 kmpl is a plus for this car.. and being a japanese car.. the maintainence costs are low too... one of the concerns being that the accesseries and parts are very expensive.. one bang or a brush.. and you be prepared to shell out the kinda money that you had not imagines.. these glass parts and the bumpers and all, which are most vulnerable to damage have a 50% depreciation immidiatly and that is why repairs are expensive.. you gotta spend some money for sure... Ok anyway.. lets move on...

Ford IKON : Great looks, awesome car.. but the mileage part of it... not too attractive.. the best buy in IKONs is the 1.8D EXI recently launched with the reduced prices.. makes it a very close competitor of the new City... i mean one litre of diesel can be expected to last for anything between 16-18 kms in the city and definitely over 20 on the highways... and its a great feeling to drive this car.. the petrol versions.. not sure about them.. i feel that the 1300 cc engine would not do justice to the car at all.. but it still gives an ok performance.. about 10-12 kmpl.... the repairs again come up as a expensive deal... but still an intelligent choice is the 1.8D which costs about 6 lacs ex. showroom.

Come to the likes of Corsa.. the tank on the road.. German technology.. and at its best.. the car with that feel good factor.. but a very average mileage... heavy car you see... but very comfortable... and add the great looks.. overall a great package.. but we middle class families would not prefer a car which gallops with gallons of gas !!!

Baleno : I find this a pretty decent buy especially after the revised prices.. ok mileage... good comfort level.. and the tag of a maruti suzuki.. still remains and rules the market as the most reliable service network...

Accent : Don't even want to talk about it.. Korean car manufacturers are cheaters.. i will not be talking about a Santro as well.. that has been ruled out because of the origin of its manufacturer.. run like a dream for a couple of years and once it starts troubling.. then its nightmares...

Esteem: Liked the older one better... changing the looks by making it look like a old Honda city.. does that really help..Higher and a bigger front grill.. stupid look tail lights... one thing that i loved about the other esteem is the tail lights.. they had a great road presence... but the new one.. huh... haaahh... not taken... but it still would remain the entry level car for the middle class... poor man's luxury car as one of my friends calls it...

Hey i forgot to mention the Fiat Petra.. i still need to learn more about that car.. it is a good looking car.. looks very compact but looses out points when it comes to fuel averages... will find out more and write about it...

Ok, now to the every one's cars... The Wagon Rs, Indica, Palio, Matiz (expect it as Chevy Spark early next year i.e. 2005)

Wagon R : great deal with Petrol cars.. good mileage.. good comfort.. good value for money... good space... bad tyres rather small and thin tyres... dates looks.. can be improved yes !!!! would i still buy it !!! yes... i dunno why maruti has to screw up the tail lights in the name of a face lift.. they did it with Wagon R then with the Zen and then with the Esteem... But i would rate Wagon as the best value for money considering the total cost of ownership of this car..

Indica : Good value for money especially after the new facelift they have done.. i wonder when would they have the turbo charged engine in the indica as well.. Like the Indigo.. the Indica with a elongated butt.. You just cannot find the difference between the two cars, if you are not able to notice the boot...anyway.. with an average of 15-17 kmpl in city and over 18 on the highway... its a good buy.. and the AC is great.. the only thing that i do not like.. rather a couple of things that i did not like are that the wheels are still those 13 inch wheels.. with that cosmetic upgrade around the wheels, it would have looked better with 14 inch wheels and a li'il wider ones would have added to the beauty more... anyway.. i can go ahead and make those changes if ibuy this one...

ZEN : Too small for us.. my Dad and me both of us are almost 6 foot tall.. and there is no way anyone can fit comfortably on the rear seat with us sitting in the front... very low ground clearence as well... which makes it kiss all those delhi speed breakers if we are driving with 4 ppl onboard...

Palio : Good but lacks on mileage and after sales... the latter being a mjor factor.. i would like to spend some time with the PalioD and see how it is like...

Here i come to the end of my observations about the cars i mentioned above.. i would like to have first hand information about any of these cars and any help in making me decide on a car would be greatly appreciated... I am spending this weekend test driving some of these and see where i get the feel good factor...

Latest in the Four Wheeler Market in India

An attempt to discuss what is the latest happening and what's in and what's out of the wish list....

Tough

I would like to trigger a discussion on how life treats us and how it should be treated.. when do we take risks in terms of education, jobs, and when is the right time for trying to settle down...
when do you think money would drive discussions about changing jobs and when we start looking for a job if we are now looking for a profile change.. maybe more responsibilities.. and so on....
