I have all the time and all my world for you…
Keep me going…
Keep me strong…
I trust you’d never go wrong…
Don’t be around…
But send your fragrance through a whiff of wind…
I’ll welcome it with wide open arms
And kiss the ground…

Reuters reporting that AirTel will launch much-awaited iPhone this month-end (August 22) in India. That’s pretty good, still there are no details about the expected price of iPhone in India… I guess it will be somewhere arounf 18-25K for both 8GB & 16 GB models. 3G Policy for India is also announced recently, but it will take sometime. Well, whatever the price be… Being a mac-geek, I’m waiting to try my hands on iPhone when it launches!!

For most people, growing up is synonymous to getting older. But after living for almost a quarter of century, I look upon my life and realize its much more than just getting older… Its about getting more experience, getting more ideas, its about getting mature (I seem to hit upon the exact word)…

So here I am, with my life before me… So much time seems to have passed. I have lived my life as it came… played, laughed, cried, teased, run, fell, got up, hurt, got hurt, learned, unlearned, forgot, remembered… I have done it all… and I liked it… If I’d given chance to life again, I’ll still make the decisions I made, I’ll go from those paths that I went…

So what did I learn from all my life’s experiences? When I compare myself from what I was 10 years ago, I find many changes in myself. The most prominent one; becoming deliberate from being spontaneous… Now I think before I act… and I am no more impatient. I am now more content then I was 10 years ago… and I am more aggressive. Perhaps those are the signs of maturity!! I now know that maturity isn’t something you’d gain just by being old… You’ll have to interact, think, feel, act. I now know that world isn’t perfect — it was never meant to. I don’t expect perfect outcomes now… Because if you become perfect, you wont have any chance to improve — which is imperfect in its own… Over the years I feel becoming more self centered… which I think is a by product of maturity - or vice versa…

Here too I am talking about myself from the start... I now feel more confident in being honest about things I feel… which is a nice thing as I have said everything about myself without any hesitation and without any lie… Over the years I have seen people’s expectations from me growing… sometimes I find it choking me, sometimes I find it very stimulating… I have learned that if you fear something it will keep you haunting for ever, and if you face it firmly you will conquer it… Be it a memory of someone …

I stopped celebrating my birthday long ago as I don’t see the logic in people congratulating you on something to which you have no credit. I’ve been very less emotional from start and I feel birthdays are just like other days… But, I still love the surprise feeling of answering some long lost friends’ call… Hey! that’s the reason I remember all my friend’s birthdays… I don’t believe in making resolutions because I don’t need any resolution to do something…

Hmm… I wanna end this monologue now… So when I hear to my 11 year old cousin who now dreams to become a pilot, I get reminded of myself… One can draw his inspiration from anywhere… and thats why I believe that this is a continuous process… I have yet to see more… and experience and explore. Life is meant for learning… and growing up… these years will keep coming and going, what counts in the end is how you utilize the time allotted to you…

I will turn 24 tomorrow! I’d like to thank everyone, my family, my friends who are around me, makes me feel happy everyday & keep inspiring me… and special thanks goes to my friend Shahab Jafri for the similar thoughts.

Come on hold my hand,
I wanna contact the living.
Not sure I understand,
This role I’ve been given.
I sit and talk to god
And he just laughs at my plans,
My head speaks a language, I don’t understand.

I just wanna feel real love,
Feel the home that I live in.
’cause I got too much life,
Running through my veins, going to waste.
I don’t wanna die,
But I ain’t keen on living either.
Before I fall in love,
I’m preparing to leave her.
I scare myself to death,
That’s why I keep on running.
Before I’ve arrived, I can see myself coming.

I just wanna feel real love,
Feel the home that I live in.
’cause I got too much life,
Running through my veins, going to waste.
And I need to feel, real love
And a life ever after.
I cannot get enough.

Come and hold my hand,
I wanna contact the living,
Not sure I understand,
This role I’ve been given

Not sure I understand…
Not sure I understand…
Not sure I understand…
Not sure I understand…

This song with a cigarette in hand, old buddies around you & tomorrow is your birthday… That’s called absolute heaven!!

"One want to find someone who not only loves him / her, but lets themselves experience love and doesn’t worry about the chances of things actually working out.

Yes, Relationships are like start-ups.  If you join one because you think it will be successful, versus just joining one because its interesting, worthwhile, and its something you’re passionate about—regardless of its ultimate chance of success—then you shouldn’t be in one.

Most relationships, like most startups, don’t last forever. They’re also completely unpredictable, so you just find good people, communicate well, and do your best…"

Damn, they assumed that I am negative… I was not, I was never negative for them. For sake of relation, I requested them to communicate properly, I wished they will sit, discuss & I thought they will help me solve problems. They did not. Finally I did something I did not wanted to do. I made myself more negative, Damn, This is really bullshit!

A start-up is too much work, you gotta keep the wheel running, no matter whatever f**ks-up or slows down, you gotta keep it moving… You know you’re a geek of very high order since your school days. You knew what Web is all about when you were a 10 year old kid. Finally, You’re now an entrepreneur, running your own show on the Web 2.0, which mix Web 2.0 with healthcare in India.

Things always don’t stay same, the thing called “change” is most constant thing in the life… yes it is, full of ups & down! What you do…?

You do… Reverse Entrepreneurship!

What is that? …That is something which build companies like Apple! That is something that makes you know who you are, what you can do and do more! And that keeps the wheel running, the wheel you build by your own hands and you know that wheel will go a long way! …And trust me it is a bliss!

Candy Cigarette, One of my favorite B/W Photo, ever… It represents a change… How people change…

This picture reminds me of a close friend, and someone whom I called my lovely sister…  I trusted both a lot… I never imagined they will change, they changed and they changed to me badly…

They changed listening to others… Others, who never mattered to our relation… May be my only mistake was trusting them too much, and when something was not going right… I had legitimate reasons of my anger, which they fail to relize…

Don’t know why people tend to belive others very quckly… Why people prefer their anger & ego more than the relationship they share… How could someone kill a relation like this…

I guess the most constant thing we have in life is “change”…

Isn’t it a chaos, Constant & change! How it could be?… But, it is….

Anyways, may be it’s about time…

…Whatever, F**k the world… and f**k the Candy Cigarette…

May be, It is time for some action!

It’s been great support from all of you… and surely it’s been a roller-coaster journey since we started. Company is moving smoothly, we’re kind of a “brand” now, we’re in the news, in the media and it is simply rocking!… Traffic on the portal is like that graph will never come down, people are just loving the service…
