Pune trip/treat

I finally reached 303 Ruby, Nyati Empire, kudos to the heavy road widening projects running in Mumbai and the useless driver of Raj Travels. Something that I really find strange is that drivers of Raj Travels are very slow now and would do stupid mistakes of jo8ining heavy trafficked lanes. this happened with me both ways.

Anyways coming back to the topic. First thing first. I really missed the roomies. I felt so happy for being with them after such a long time. Specially, the flat where I stayed more then next flat I moved. Victor happen to be in the same room where I stayed. He offered me that room as the couch in the hall was not suitable for me due to its short length. Entering in that very room where I lived was a great feeling. I rememeber the way I used to keep my stuff. One thing lazy butt Victor has chnaged quite a bit. Akhileh has left lots and lots of furniture and household item when are in use by Victor, Sunil and Yeshwant. Flats has total different looks now. Sooooooooooo much better. One thing, Yeshwant heads the ATG (Advanced Technology Group) at his employer (synicron) where as I am part of ATG here at Covansys. Yes, I'm no longer part of RMG (Resource Management Group) aka Bench. About being on bench for pretty long now. I don't wanna leave Covansys as of now, but if they don't assign me a project till March end a search will definitely start. One thing, I was really really lucky to get roomies like them. No offense to any of my roomies in other cities. But I have seen people who are strange, stubborn and very selfish. They were none of them. One thing, I happen to know that Sareeta is working for MicroStrategy Documentation project. Nice. A very good natured girl I've met during my college time. Orkut is great. It has changed lives forever. Na kabhi orkut hota na kabhi main ankit se milta na kabhi IvyComptech mujhe 7.2 lac ka package deta. The most important thing in life is not being lucky or great. It is being at right place at right time. My life is full of twists and turns as far as my profession goes and I'm pretty happy about it.

Next day I got the method to go into the local ISP router. Illegal!! but how can we actually call it intrusion when there is no wall and forget the gate and gate-keeper. Al I wanted to make the make my p2p to work but he has very beautifully blocked most of the "Extra service" port. He has blocked even VPN ports. That would be nightmare is someone wants to work from home. He won't be able to connect to the office at all. Even Ping was blocked. I got a good chance to see the routers settings. Victor would make use to this knowledge. Finally it the time of my much awaited treat of the "very old" new job. Finally we settled for Bamboohouse at Deccan as all of had been there and food was good and for Yeshwant any place with drinks would have done. We reached there and probably got the second last free table. Very soon after we joined that table the queue had started. I don't really all the stuff we had but food was good. Yeshant had Kajhuraho (a bitter taste beer) where as Sunil had Mild Beer. I and Victor had 2 large pegs of Vodka. He recommended a new brand. Don't recall it. The only sad part of it was the fish ordered had no spice and Yeshwant got a small cockroach in it. One thing I must say I would always miss Victor (for a being a true and good to have a talk/healthy argument and having enough knowledge about stuff to have a talk of any damn thing) and Yeshwant (very selfless). BTW, jab 10000 lazy people die one Victor comes to earth. Where as Sunil was a balanced person. No extremities of anything. Bill was not much and had ice cream at Baskin Robins while coming back I had a coffee ice cream. It was great. We reached home by mid night as no one was in mood to sit and talk. Soon we were dozing off in respective rooms. In night my roaming got deactivated of its own. F*** off Hutch. Though not much concern, but I just had this number to be contacted and I'm extremely concerned about my parents. It always lingers in my mind. That why **** off to Hutch. I shall chnage the service soon. Just waiting for this ATG cloud to get over.

Next morning (Sunday) I made tea for everyone, something that I used to do while being there and heated milk for Yeshwant to make coffee. He is all set to get his wife and kid at pune. His weekends goes very busy as due to kid Asha would not be able to any shopping. He has got his cylinder discontinued as non-usage for more than 6 months. He might take Ruby's cylinder. He was separating out the stuff he got to home (he had got lot and lots of stuff, full kitchen utensils were owned by him except very few by him) . But main itna kamina nahin hoon ki main apna saman leke jaoon. :) They watched Borat after tea and copied tons and tons of english movies and software from my HDD. They had so much of stuff to be copied that I had to stop the copying to reach the bus stand in time for coming back to Mumbai. Next time doods. Victor drops me at the Raj ravel bus stand. We had tea and Medu-wada before me taking the bus. We talked if a goa trip could be planned next month. Let us see. I take the bus and come home. I happen to meet a gal on bus who lives at JB Nagar. But we leave w/o taking down any contact number or something.
