Only way to get 3 weeks off from SOS
So what happened in those last 10 mins??!!
After that 100m stretch i have been waiting to cross the road, subbaiah circle road it’s such a busy road that i waited for 30 good seconds and nobody gave a damn about me and just kept going and finally i started, thinking even i am not going to give a damn and started crossing the road and two cars they were pretty smart if they rush then it ll be a dent on their car and it’s a 10-15k and looking at my face they would have already realized ,oh this is a marwari chu&** and forget about giving probably would take 500 bucks saying there is a scratch on his gearless :P... So they stopped and waited for me to get lost, it was pretty long breadth road it was taking huge amount of time and i already made those buggers wait a minute and they were already yelling and i too raised my hand but this time around again i was really sorry :) thinking poor guys although own a car but always need to wait until activa cross .
Ok finally, i thought i wud show some courtesy and started to speed 5, 10, 20 and suddenly i don't know wat happened, and I see that i had fallen down ,my Activa had fallen down , my brother too fallen down with scratches on his hand and Auto toppled sideways, skidded and finally stopped at a hump, People started gathering, Traffic police started coming toward us and i realized that i am in big mess and need to keep at least 50k ready in my back account : ) so i checked with my brother "tu thik haina parvin?" he was alright with few scratches here and there so i said him "arey chal chal jaldi chal, katlenge, gadi utha chal niklenge udhar side se" and too my surprise i felt something weird, something started aching , something is swelling and then i said my brother "chod chod traffic police khud leke jata tu kyun chup vajan utatha, sat mein humko bhi leke jata lagta? :P chal dekenge"....
I got up and thought let me be responsible citizen of India as recently Aamir has been spending lot of time campaigning on this by taking 3 crores each time :P, so i slowly started walking towards auto and thought I would check wats up with auto guy: P. I said hey buddy wats up : ) ? he had banged his head to road and auto rods I guess and he was red all over and suddenly i saw 3 passengers got down from auto and left the place as if nothing has been happened and they were walking as if they got down from emirates business class and were walking away as they don’t care about economy fliers :) suddenly few auto guys ramped, i thought i am gone, i thought first they will take me to ATM and ask me withdraw money and i was thinking i wud make silly reasons like my hand is broken and i can’t withdraw and i ll give u later. But seems like those were the only good auto guys on earth and said u r hurt, u r brother too and auto guy , u all 3 get on our auto and we will drop u to hospital... God bless them...
In the auto, on the way to pheonix hospital....Guy with "WWE KANE's look, all over blood and staring at me" but didn't say anything and looked down (I think he was searching for a chair and he didn’t find one so didn’t bang: P). I thought this is the chance :P and started y the hell you had to ride fast, what was the necessity and now see my hand, he was like i wasn't fast and all.. Finally, nobody knows whose mistake it was although I agree that there was 60% my mistake to be exact for some extent. :P
Now in hospital, nobody bothered abt me :(, 2, 5, 10 Mins..just one doctor and hez busy stitching auto guy's wounds...Next moment everybody were surrounded by me and saying get up, getup and i was in such a zone, if i try to recall it looked like sin city where i was fighting with all monsters and sinners to come back to the pheonix where i was physically present but it was soo soo difficult to get out of it, I thought I wudn’t be able to make it .. yess finally i came thru it and got up so, I am here, writing... :P
To be continued … desh, kolya,anupya, avya, x-ray's, more x-rays , suguna, surgery, wrist sling, muscle stitches , 3 weeks free food from aunt and “3 weeks off from SOS”, this was the best part of all. Phone calls, pampering, and goodies and how can i forget those drama serials and finally babe’s anandi from balika vadhu, gopi from sath nibana sathiya, rashi, sandhyaji and many more: P

Recession, still some people are very happy.
how ? for that let me take you through an interesting conversation which i could happened to hear in the train.
Two men and a lady in their forties were sitting in front of me in the train.
One guy to another hey see the prices of houses are dropped, see a 2 bed room flat is just for 25 lakhs than the lady started is it by shobha developers, just few days back it was for 23 than 27 now it's 25 which will comes out again to 27 only , they are the biggest crook's ever i have seen.
The software engineers(SE) earning a lot[madam SE kyun bich mein agaye], ready to pay a very high rent and buy the house at very high cost[I said aunty hamari phat rahi hai aur tum kehti ho at high cost] which has caused the cost of houses rate and rent to go so much high that we can't afford at all. Life has become so difficult for people like us, middle class people are suffering a lot.
She continued, economic crisis has hit very bad to these software engineers, economy is going down day by day. Now we will see there plight, how they will lead there life now. [Aunty plz plz kitna marogi :)]
After a while she started in kannada, giving some illustrations
Munche ee software engineers tande tayegi keldre, yen nim magnige madve yavag, yen aytu manne hudgi du, avag heltidru , hudgi ge job illa , valle SE idre ibbrigu valled irutte, Iga ade keldree 6 months bittu madve antare , reason keldre , uttara illa ... uttara yen kodudu, nachige avarige magnige job hogidde, job siguv varege madve illa anta helokke :)
she didnt stop her illustrations.
charity ge bandid janakke 1 rupee kod andre 100 rs kodavru, duddige bele ne irlilla ivarige.
one of the two gentle man added manne nam hatra vabnu bandid ,full weak , dodd soda glass, swalp tale kodlu kadime, huccha tara [wow anna on tara heavy desc kodti ala ..saku pa] navu keldeve yenappa computer job beka, illa sir computer bittu yenu kodi , health valled illa matte adar mele computer kelsa madidre job gaurantte nu illa..beda sir :)
2nd guy added hey avarige bahal kashta, bahal soft avarella , yavdaku barda avaru,soft kelsa madi madi avarige yenu baralla, yav kelsa nu baralla :),than lady added howdu matte yavaglu computer valage hukki avra kannu yella hal agidu irutte, bennu, mai kai novu, waste agbittidaratare avru.
She continued seems like she is very angry with SE's, iga jobs hogta ide alla, yalla gottagute life yest kashta anta, aramagi dudd sigta ittu full party , pubs anta, male surda hage surita idru duddu..
Now another guy said namge yavad adru costly vastu sikkidre ok antivi, illa andre paravagilla antivi, avru hagilla hi-fi lifestyle lead madi ruda agirutte, avarige optimize agi life lead madukke agalla.[Sakra pa yest curse madtira, ava yell summ kudava]
One of them again started idu kala chakra idda hage, mele hodavaru kelagge barle beku , matte kelage hodavru mele barle beku.[hey gottappa yen ni helod]
Then lady interrupts illa illa, kelage hodavru mele barlilla andru paravgilla but mele hodavru kelage barle beku,[ayyo aunty yen amma yen matad ta iddiya saku] avarige life’s struggle gotta agbeku, life alli yest kashta ide anta gotta agbeku ivarige :/ [gotta aytu aunty thank u ]

First Ever Experience of A Flight
Dream come true, Raj (my lead), 3 resources , opportunity , Visa Processing , Interview, America on 16th Nov, Tayyari , Sunil Malipatil Mail, Relatives and Friends calls , Marwadi shop kholne wala hai kya be , hug by annya, bags weighed 45.4 Kg at Airport ( Confused :), read the post America first )
DevanHalli Airport same as i heard, spread across thousands of acre's with thousand's of lights, it was like some foreign city. A big entrance , then right in front of entrance lots of counters , Fly Emirates, Air India, Jet, KingFisher etc. I found myself wrong about the image i had that there will be lots of babes :) at the counter and many will be roaming here and there as i have seen when I had been to domestic Airport to drop my mami but didn't disappoint thinking that there will be many good Arab Air Hostess in the flight with chote chote :) nai nai bade bade, dirty minds :)....zyada socho mat. mai bus height ke bare mein bat karra. Now come out of u r fantasies and read on.. My bags sealed with some numbers which I have to search in JFK airport at New York .
It was Around 3.00 AM or so i was just waiting to board the flight and so i thot to go around and watch some duty free stuffs , and to my surprise after that reduction still the items were there for around 8k ,10k and all, huh? Chalo back again on the chair then after a while of waiting boarding started around 3.45 , I was with mformation bag filled to the brim and it was very heavy on my shoulders and a laptop bag, actually in order to add some extra 2 Kg Rice :) in check-in bag i placed lots of clothes in this cabin bag so thats the reason it was very heavy .
My ticket is checked then a long passage started and I could listen a harsh sound grrrrrrrrrrrrr, and at that moment i got the feeling that yes really i am flying otherwise I was not sure of flying though I had tickets in my hand :) , I said my colleague jaisuthan(tambi) we are flying , yes yes , I was jumping, many were looking at me strangely :) then there was a big door , one guy and one semi babe were standing on either side , guess on which side I will go? :). Babe, GM sir have a nice flight then it took a while to search my seat , it was the last seat and no push back :( . As my flite was Vai Dubai , said it's ok as it was just 4 hours journey. Flight took off around 4.15 Arab Air Hostess ufff...they were, they were so...don't get so excited :) , they were not so good, firbi chalta hai...As it was already morning I fell asleep after a while, but got up sudden with the sound of flush...then I noticed there was something near to my seat :) leave it, some how landed at Dubai Airport at around 7.15, landing was bit scaring. Dubai Airport , Wat to tell about it , it must be world's best Airport, very big, it took almost 20mins drive from one terminal to another in a volvo bus, so you can imagine how big it must be....
At Dubai Airport apart from checking check in bag...they will check ur jute, chappal, belt, After such a bad journey now this...appa... I took off all these things, As soon as checking got over need go towards terminal 3 where there was a huge flight Boeing A380 which was ready to give us the ride to the New York...by seeing that i forgot the whole previous painful journey.
Boarded it at 8 AM, scheduled departure was around 8.15, but it delayed by an hour as there was lots of luggage to be loaded from various connecting flights from various countries...
At the flight take off there was a great view of Dubai , It's a beautiful city, now this is the Flight worth describing, It was very wide almost like 9 seats in a row and in between space which could cover almost another 3 seats , Every seat has a Tv at the front , with lots of movies, even desi movies too, headphones, nice seats , fully loaded with various region, various languages, and various color people, kallu , mallu , gore , kale (don't mind ) aur mere jaise kuch handsome bi the per very few :)
Now you must be eagerly waiting to know how r the Air hostess as i have described flight very much, but sorry to disappoint u people again, they were same old choote choote , na bade bade
as the flight was again Emirates. I couldn't be lucky in this regard , ll pray well while going back :) .
It was very long trip almost 14 hrs, to kill the time I watched two movies , 'jannat' and some other I forgot the name.
Interesting thing is, to not to use paper in my life :) and not to become a ganda angrez. I was having lot of orange juice, but there was a side effect of it, lots of time i need to go to unload it, but everytime I had to pass 2 big, huge , gigantic American's who were sitting beside me, guys think of my plight :( , I was kind of hoping that flight will fly Via some other place and these 2 will get down and some maal will get in, guys I have travelled in bus, so i can think of all these nonsense anytime anywhere :) , you can call this as 'Heights of Hope'.
It was kind of fun inside there. I can do these activities too, press the button frequently, a maal :) will come , sir how may I help u , can i get you something, yes please a glass of orange juice, sometimes water, apple juice , many more things. Bugged her a lot. papa :)
As the journey was about to finish, in the last 5 minutes pilot reduced the altitude from 32000 to around 5-6 thousand ft, and speed from 600miles per hour to 150-200miles hour, as there was no place to land in JFK, It was just hovering in the air and when i saw outside the window i could see the Earth now, too my surprise everywhere water, seems like some ocean under, I don't even know the name of that ocean. who cares :) leave it, As it was hovering in the air, I was really scared as i was getting the feeling that plane will fell down sometime soon :) , i don't know y i was getting such a feeling , n i will land somewhere in no man's land and also i was thinking that i don't know swimming then how will i save. So I stopped looking down , kept my eyes close till the time when my head stopped spinning, so at that moment I thought flight might have landed. Yes, It was at the JFK airport then.
Flight journey was not at all boring as it was my first time and the whole journey seems to be quite interesting.
JFK Airport, it is quite big , but not as beautiful as Dubai's DFX airport, again there was small interview , y r u here, i said business trip , stamped the visa with 3 months validity.
Taxi was ready outside, and it was a nice ride to apartment, and for first time, America was awesome, proved to be same as i had the image about it. My eyes were wide outside the window all the time.
I think i should stop here now, as it is growing a lot. Actually i started writing this post with the name “One Cent, One Dime, One Dollar”, thinking that I will write my experiences of America's stay, About my trips which include New York, Phildelphia, Washington(DC), Niagara's , Atlantic city, New Year at TimeSquare but too my surprise , I couldn't start at all, so let me change this post name as, “First Ever Experience of A Flight” and you can expect “One Cent, One Dime, One Dollar” sometime soon.

America
Again after 2 or 3 days raj while going to smoke said something in low voice and started walking , i said sir sir arey kya bolre tikh se to bolo, then he said shashi bolrahiti she needs 3 resources onsite, sala koi izzat hi nai software industry mein logo ko resources kahke bulare yar..hmmm chalta hai jab tak acchhi salary dete hai, resources to ya fir daily wage labourer to bolo :) ,then i said dekenge sir jab bhejenge...
After few days i.e on 14th oct in the evening a email popped up with sub line "List of docs for US visa" by seeing that my heart started pounding with great happiness, then my eyes caught cc list there were 5 more names, then thought sala company to 3 ya 4 ko bhejenge so firse isme bhi competition aur mera chance kam dikne laga. chal chod dekha jayega.
I started preparing docs, went to Mysore to get final sem marks card , thanks to visa processing it gave me a chance to get my marks card, otherwise i wouldn't have got time to go to college to get it for many years, though i will be there in mysore monthly once atleast :) , but you know.. i don't get time in mysore, i ll be very busyyy :)
I took photographs in GK vale though vikya told me hey ille hog pa local 40 rupai kottu summ togal , but i was like we shouldn't take any risk man :) full conscious, don't want take any chance so 160 bucks blade, meanwhile filled the visa form on line and took the appointment date on 31st oct and made other 3 also to take same date so that i would go home to diwali and play cards. I won 1000 bucks playing 11 till 4 clock in the morning, I am the winner as always.
You must be wondering y only 3 ..what about other 2 , sorry i forgot to tell that , actually they didn't have passport with them , thank god, 2 reduced :) , one among them is our great Deshbhushan late latif :)
31st oct visa Interview day, i was nervous but to my luck just one question, what is your take home , i said * lac per annum , then got the reply good luck, have fun :), god bless that Interviewer.
On 4th Nov morning got the passport back stamped with 10yrs visa, happy, showed that to many in office like a small kid shows his new toy to everyone , I forgot to tell one thing that janvekar already left to US on 24th oct itself lucky guy.
One week got over after visa but there was no news about trip..used to chat with janvekar everyday , sir kuch news hai kya, he used to tell arey you people will be here very soon...
On sunday evening vikya was telling i have to send some of my gre forms, if you would have gone i would have sent with you and I could save 10 to 15$, then i said let see and wait till next week.
Next day morning i.e on Monday , Sundaresh(company admin and a very nice guy ) smiled and said you are ready ha hair cut and all, i was wondering y he is telling like that, within few moments CRS(company VP) called us( me and my other collegue jaisuthan the L khan... :) he said you will be leaving to New Jersey for 8 weeks on 16th dec. As soon as i came out i sent a message to vikya saying i can take your GRE forms man :)..ohh god i was so happy , i never imagined in my wildest dream that i will be flying to america so soon in my life....ufff it was greatest moment of my life. I told everyone that i will write a book titled "My Journey From Hallikhed To New Jersey" :)
Now started the tayyari . sir used to call at least once and tell list of items which i need to take..rice, dal, oil list goes on....
After taking inputs from many and preparing 3 to 4 lists finalising the list with 50 items :) to take and also took inputs how to cook(rice, dal, phiki dal) from my sweet bro , he was telling like , phiki dal banate samay gas sim pe rakna chayiye
again for some other thing he used to tell gas full pe rakna chayiye then he told so many items recipe that,,,hmmmm i got totally confused :) and i said u send complete recipe , i will leave now :)...
In between calls to all friends and relatives...all relatives like khandan mein pehla chirag :) some friends like mali patil the great gulbarga he* sent mails like "Our Bidar dog Ashwin Biyani going to New Jersey" some other said " setu tujhe kyun bhejre be".. some other like deshbhushan and dabbu (prabhakar) kya seth US jake hame bhulna mat chutye sale :)... some other senti guys like my darling abhijeet "setu i am so happy that you are going " ..sale meku kya samjhe be, utna gawar dikra kya main ....kid cousins wish list, sketch pens, video game, dolls ..list goes on, friends list someone say joursey jacket , our gr8 mali wants one Ipod , on Digital Camera , on LapTop, on LCD Tv ..that's all nothing much :)..my cousin says sale agar daru nai layeto tere flight ko land hone nai dunga.
Final day 16th dec.. Packed everything, room mates were like kya bein seth itna maggi , itna rice , oil, ghee sale marwari waha jake shop kholne wala hi kya be sale...:). I called my cousin avinash... my driver for final day :)
Finally we took those 2 very heavy bags to weigh (Thanks to YD , thilak), guess how much was the weight, one was 30 and other 29 :)
I had to remove a lot, It was painful..forget it ..Thanks to annya for that late night jappi while leaving, It gave me a kind of confidence as i was nervous as it was my first time to airport as well...It weighed 45.4 at airport..saved...and Boeiflight took off at 4.15...continued to be in part 2(don't have time sorry :) )....don't say abe sale part 1 padke hi budhe hogaye abhi part 2 bhi hai ..

Best Deal :)
The story starts on the day before one of my good friend Manjunath Y D (garu) left to
Next day (monday) morning asked Prabhakar Kudva(dabbu, guru gobinda khurana, chaddi prabhakar, prem chopra ...list continues ) to drop me at near marathhali Nokia care. Like any other care centre they asked my mobile's problem i said some keys are not working, Then they gave me a slip said come after 2 days it will be ready. As i heard from many people that Nokia center won't give so soon after 2 days i just gave a call, then a voice came up very sweet , helloo , i said mam Nokia 5610, Nokia 5610 , sir it will be done by thursday evening, i said ok then i hunged the phone.
On Thursday afternoon i got a call saying, hello sir this is from Nokia care, then i felt my mobile is ready and was happy (because i faced lot of inconvenience in those 4 days) then i asked her is it ready, no sir actually water has entered in your mobile and it will be charged 800Rs should we repair or not, i was shocked 800Rs , sala usme to ek naya vodafone box hi ajata, then i said i have 1 Year warranty, then i came to know water and physical damage won't come into warranty period, but i thought how will water go into my babe these people are fooling me, so i said don't repair it i will take it back, on Saturday morning i went then i scolded them Nokia center wale tum log lutne baite 800 rs kaisa hota usme to ek naya mobile hi ata. Then i went to majestic and then to the shop where i bought the mobile, everywhere they said sir, it will be charged around 1000Rs, because strip has got damaged and we can't repair it here, only Nokia Priority center can repair it. (Forgot to tell you people meanwhile i remembered when water has gone into my mobile, 3 or 4 times talking on the call on the terrace explaining beauty of rain. ye barish ye mausam uff, kya mast rehta na barish ka mausam , full romantic, sale chaman pay now 1000Rs. Romantic rehta kate )
Ab kya no chara chalo firse
After 2 days i called up again the same voice (socha awaz itni achhi hi to sala mall kitni achi hogi :)) sir, Nokia 5610, that accessory we have not received so, it will be done by tomorrow evening , then i asked her sure , then she said Sure sir.
Tomorrow evening i called up again, then again she, at least now i was expecting sir it is ready come and take it, again sala same, sir we have not received the accessory it will be done by tomorrow for sure, this time she herself added the prefix Sure, this silsila continued for 7 to 8 days, me calling up everyday, she keeps answering by adding prefix. Sir tomorrow for sure.
In these 7 to 8 days people have made so much fun saying seth kaha hi be tera express the music, apart from rummates so many other friends have got to know about it, i don't know who has spread it :), and even they started tickling. Hmmm sir pe chad gaya , i can't tolerate now i called her in the evening she said we have sent to it to higher division it will come by tomorrow evening for Sure :) , hey sala firse enough is enough, i started what is this mam you telling daily same thing and upon that you add sure, what is this mam when will i get my mobile, she said sir you will get tomorrow for sure, then again i repeated same words what is this mam, today tomorrow everyday you are telling same thing, then a sound came ti ti ti. She hung the phone (No value at all.. ha ha) . This is too much. But can't help my mobile is with them so cant say anything.
Next day again i called to my surprise, reply was sir, come tomorrow morning and collect it...ufff finally a great relief then, next day morning i went , the guy made me stand for 20 mins then he said sir we have given it to higher division and it has not come yet. Enough then i used all the 3 languages i know english, hindi, kannada because i am not perfect in any of the 3 so compulsion to use all :) to scold them. Started of with same old words which i know. He He, what is this everyday today tomorrow. Today you made me come till here again same answer no, sala kutte ki tarah cal karra mai 15 din se, land line local karke phone bill hi mera 100 Rs hora, free service ante free service. Oh madam nive alva call pick madodu (she was not good, so started scolding her also :) ) cal madi today, tomorrow antira, matte sure anta konege add madtira alva, nan nimge huchha kansta iddina, you would have told me one date, i would have called only that day, sumne, then i said give me center manager number i will complaint against your branch, sale bina kam kiye hi paise uthana chahte hi log. Woo this went for 20 mins.(repeating same thing . He He) at the same time i was worried inside, what if they say take your mobile, we won' repair it. :) . So i realized it after 20 mins, stopped and left the place immediately.
Frustration level has raised so much ki i couldn't tolerate then i got the number 08030303838, it's nokia care number , don't know who sit's there, i guess may be Center manager and some people under him. Ok i started like this, it is not to ask anything about nokia care centers , or not to tell anything related to problem with my mobile. I just want to compliant against marathalli Nokia care branch. They are so irresponsible , they are telling same thing everyday today tomorrow from past 20 days, please consider me as your friend if you can't do anything mail some higher authority but do something, please listen to my voice by this only you can understand my frustration level :) , he said yes sir yes sir i can understand.
I continued, you don't know what i am doing, i have kept my gmail status message as "Nokia care center is the worst care center", i am wasting money by calling you, i called my 15 to 20 friends wasted money on them to just say this, don't buy high-end Nokia mobiles, if they get damaged those Nokia people will charge you 1000Rs, they will fool you, that to they never give you your mobile back. I am begging them to not to take Nokia and go for Sony ericssion, Please try to understand my feelings :), and the inconvenience i m facing, please do something yar, if you people do like this who will buy Nokia mobile yar, do something with Nokia marathalli branch..(full drama,full nakra), He replied again i can understand you sir(sale understand u kate , kya meri patni hi tu ) then he gave one complaint number on Thursday evening and asked me to give a call on monday, then i said to myself monday sale, ye log bhi chutya hai. But i was wrong, my feelings my words didn't go waste :).
Friday afternoon gal called me up sir come and collect your mobile, then i went, guy sitting there gave me respect like anything. And important thing is, he said sir, we are not charging you any money, it's full free of cost to you, so so
WATER DAMAGE EXPENSES=30 Rs(initaial calls to gal)+ 25 Rs cal to 30303838.
So how is this Deal :) ?
