GOA!!!!!!!!!

If it's Ganesh chaturthi, Diwali, X'mas, New year time you can see me packing my bags....roomies asking "where to bro"......and me replying where else, to to place i belong "GOA". God i miss GOA like anything....Is it really the place GOA or family and friends i miss more, dont really know. After staying in a place like Mumbai which is so damn crowded, whenever i reach GOA i feel i have reached Heaven...So less people, kind of empty roads, trees around, less noise, beaches, lovely food, fresh air, roaming with bike and lately by car....It just feels awesome.

Whoever said "If there is heaven anywhere on earth, it is in Kashmir"....i seriously doubt did that person ever come to GOA...:-P.....I miss speaking in Konkani so much....sometimes i do hear people talking in Konkani in Mumbai....feels so good..."amcho goykar mare" comes to my mind......

Whenever anyone here in Mumbai asks me from where are you?....I usually United States of Goa..moment they hear GOA...kind of reactions that i get....10 seconds silence...Wow! did i hear GOA?...Really u from GOA?...haha some people cannot believe why did he leave GOA and come in first place...Ok! one more common observation is they ask, Jayesh GOA main kuch khaneka, pineka, rehneka jugad ho jayega kya?....Secondly! can you bring some liquor while coming please...haha...

Hey found a cool full form for GOA....God's Own Area....Mythology says GOA was created by Lord Parshuram by throwing his weapon parshu into river and forced Sea to evacuate some area and free some land which became GOA...

Hoping for the IT Park to come in GOA, then no second thoughts....will go back....:).......

Mr god do u really exist???

Hi Everyone,


"Mr god do u really exist".....This was gtalk status sometime back in December 2011.....i set this status and all my chat friends, regular once, non regular once, people who never spoke for ages poured in asking what went wrong boss???.....

Good things happen, bad things happen, but things get worsened sometimes....I am a person who thanks god for anything good happening in my life, looking up to the sky for a moment, right hand on my heart and a "thanks bappa" coming out from my mouth...thats my way of thanking Bappa......When i thank him for good things happening in my life how could he skip the bad ones???......

I usually say its Ok, when bad things happen to me, things cannot be good all the times....but when some worse things happen in my life, and i seriously feel i did not deserve it.....thats the time i ask why did you do this bappa....

To be frank God has been kind to me....Nothing worse has happened to me yet....But the time i doubted god's existense was when cousin's dad got a serious brain Hemorrhage....he is just a kid, his mom got arthritis and lost power of her legs since he was born....all his life he has been alone, no siblings....and then this unfair incident happened to his dad....it was not even possible for us to be there always as they stay in a different state all together....

When i got this news i felt God does not exists....and even if he exists how can he be so unfair to this poor guy...
his dad was in hospital for 3-4 days, i would not lie if i say i dint want him to survive anymore as doctors had said he had lost all his senses...he will not be able to move his body anymore....i thought for a moment how would this poor kid manage all this with his dad and mom both lying on bed helpless...what about his studies, hundreds of such questions ran through my mind....finally, he died and all responsibilities of his mom, his career, and many more things fell on this kids tender shoulders....

Having said all these things.....somewhere in the corner of my heart i still feel god exists....whenever i see a pic or a statue of Lord Ganesha, my hands automatically fold in respect.....and words fall out "Love u bappa...Krupadrushti asu tuzhi mazher"......

Mumbai - Land of dreams

20th October 2010, it was Wednesday, early in the morning my bus reached the land of dreams, it was drizzling slightly....like millions of individuals who come to fulfill their dreams, one more to add to the count was me ....My elder bro accompanied me to Mumbai as he was well aware of Mumbai....full night i dint get proper sleep, was it the thought that "now what and how Jayesh?" or was it the moving bus because of which i dint get sleep i don't know.....One thought would give me a li'l relief was my MAUSHI and cousins stay in Mumbai.....

It was a tough decision for me to leave place like Goa, and more importantly my family, to be more specific my mom, god she was in all tears....for a moment i felt i can't be leaving her and going....but the selfish career guy inside me forced me to take that step....

This was the 1st time i went away from my family, when i came to Mumbai i only knew to prepare 2 things tea and Maggie....:-P....now u will think by now i must learned to cook everything.....i m still stuck with that tea and Maggie....lolz.....only difference is now you i can do it a li'l better.....:-p.....

Moment i reached Mumbai, crowd, dirtiness, noise, beggars....for a moment i thought what have i done???....where have i reached???....Today I have completed 1 and a half year here and believe me i have seen all kinds of people here , black, white, brown, rich, super rich, bad, ugly, all caste, all religion, people from all parts of India....."Yeh hai Mumbai meri jaan"....home of all kinds of people....lot of beggars here....i would give change in my pocket to beggars i see, my change would get over but not the beggars....

You must be thinking why did i choose Mumbai???.....actually Mumbai chose me....i got a job in Mumbai that's the reason i am here.....and how i got this job is yet another funny story.....Seeing the overloaded trains and buses i decided to stay nearby my work location....walking to office was 10 - 15 minutes but that too was tough for me.....don't be shocked, as soon i took up my 1st job i dint go anywhere without my bike.....i could hardly walk when i was new here....but today i do walk, actually i have to travel now, client changed i go all the way to Malad by bus from Andheri....1 hour distance one way......

Mumbai has given me a great boost to my career, got a few friends, met different and interesting people here, but today's date i don't think of staying in Mumbai anymore....Nah! Mumbai ain't bad....everything is affordable here and available readily except home sweet home....today one cannot even think of buying a 1 RK in a good area....I would have written this blog long back actually the day i stepped in Mumbai but i started blogging this year itself...thts the reason for delay.....

Keep rocking n blogging people!!!

What boosts me up???

Today when i look back at my life and try to figure out what are the things that encouraged, boosted me, helped me to acheive something.....answers were strange.....most of people get encouraged by parents, teachers, then beating by parents or bribing like if u score so much marks i'll buy you a cycle.....during my time, cycle sounded so good but i dont think 2days kids would settle for less than a bike....haha

Well getting back to things that power me up are pressure, embarassment, pride, someone taking me granted and saying you can't do this.....when saying all these things i mean some sensible stuff only.....not something like someone saying i cant run faster than bus or car i will accept it, am not superman or rajnikanth....:-).....

To support above factors i would narrate a few incidents in my life, as a kid i was not interested in studies, only thing i would think about studies is, studies are important and i have to just pass through and get to next standard....parents saying, that one's son got distinction, he came 1st, why can't you??? nothing mattered to me at all....listen from one ear n leave from other stuff i used to do....To narrate about pressure i felt it when me and my friend sam(name changed) went to visit darshan(name changed) during 12th preliminary exams....both started discussing about papers....i couldn't understand so much of stuff what they were talking about, to my suprise i dint even hear about most of things.....darshan's mom noticed my face going blank and she consoled me you will make it son dont worry, while sam and darshan laughing seeing at my face....that was the time i felt the pressure and studied hard and was able to achieve passing marks in prelims exams, failing in one....Chemistry paper i scored 39 and 40 was passing marks....i found a place where i could earn that one mark....once my Chemistry teacher gave me that one mark she said "people like you can't do better than this"......Now to prove myself i studied very hard for those 20-30 days gap between preliminary and board exams and scored PCM of 77%.....I managed to get admission in 2nd best engineering college in Goa, now you will say wow! 2nd best....nothing great in that 2nd best, there are just 3 degree colleges in Goa...:-P....I met that same Chemistry teacher on one of my juniors football tournament....Smilingly, she asked so what are you doing now???.....Moment i said engineering in PCC,she was like what???....hahaha her expressions were priceless.....

Speaking about embarassment, during my school days teachers forced me to participate in a seminar after which there was a debate infront of almost whole school.....just imagine what would happen to a student who would hide his face even when teacher asked any question in a class and teacher trying to find a student to ans it, when he was forced to enter a debate that too infront of whole school.....that scared the hell out of me.....before that i had faced stage just once when i was in 1st standard, i had to go on stage and say "I am Mr. Nobody"....seeing such a big crowd i forgot that also....haha....after around 20 seconds i remembered that sentence....i was like thank god.....Ok now coming back to debate after seminar i was assigned a topic "education should be compulsory".....i wrote a speech on my own, rehearsed it well but seminar person dint find its contents good enough....so now when 2 hrs were left for seminar to start he changed my speech and i had to memorise it......it was a disaster......when seminar started, seeing the crowd i was half scared and my throat got all dried up, no water was there on stage....moment my turn came i couldn't speak well, voice started kind of cracking....it was like an old cassette being played....haha....i was a stock of laughter for entire school......You ask me about my mot embarassing moment....here it is.....But that did not give me stage fear like it would do to most, instead it boosted up my confidence levels so much that i could talk infront of crowds in future....what i would think of was how much more bad can happen to me than that stage incident....

Finally let me brief you guys about pride.....Slow cycling event happened to be most popular event during my higher secondary school days, i could slow cycle very well, infact i could balance my cycle at one place for lot of time.....i won my 11th standard competition with ease.....my friends had lot of expectations from me for slow cycling event in 12th also....but by 12th lot of my peers practised slow cycling and could balance cycle just the way i could.....there were 2 practice sessions in which i came 2nd and 3rd.....when my friends asked me wht the hell i was doing....i lied saying that i allowed them to win practice sessions....:-P......day before finals i practised the hell out of me, i could not even sleep properly night before that since my pride was on the line....boss then results were satisfying, i won it again.....what a relief it was!......

Jayesh :-)

Happy Birthday

6th February 1984, yes i know nothing great happened this day, its my date of birth......my mom was telling me when i was born i was a little weak, with less weight then normal baby......Moment my dad saw me, he said "he is not born properly, not healthy".....my granny heard that and she started scolding him for saying that...."dont say anything to him"......When my mom told me about this incident i could not control my laughter.......

Yesterday was my b'day, it feels so good on the day of birthday......u get so much of importance.....so much of love......all my near and dear one's called me.......except few who claim to be my best friends and just forgot to wish me......Should i feel bad about it???......When i asked this question to myself and i was expecting some cool answer from myself......haha strange thought but it is true........cool dude inside me said "Grow up Jayesh, u r not a kid to keep such things in mind"........But to be frank bura toh lagta hain boss.....zyada bura isliye bhi lagta kyunki when even your banks n shopping mall's like shopper's stop can send you these automated sms and emails wishing you happy b'day how can close ones forget.......hahaha

There have been lot of special birthday's.....cousins and close frnds waiting for 12:00 on clock and then sms and calls start raining in.....call busy and call waiting stuff.....It's like who will wish me 1st.....even i feel the same when its b'day of my close one's, i wake them up if they are not awake.....boss i want to be 1st one to wish.......:-)........

When i say special b'days how can i forget the most disastrous one.......no one in my family remembered it was my b'day and even i din't bother to remind anyone.....i was feeling so unimportant :-( ......until it was 6 pm in the evening and my mom suddenly remembered that its my b'day.......and she came running, sorry sorry how could i forget she said.......fir celebrate ho gaya b'day......haha

You people must have googled sometime or other for any celebrity born on same day as ur's???......If not i am sure you will do it after reading my blog.....haha. By the way i share my birth date with great Jamaican singer-songwriter and musician "BOB MARLEY"....Yeah yeah i know i took singer songwriter and musician thing from wikipedia.....

Neways thanks for reading my post.....Let me know if you liked it.....

MY SMALL WORLD MY "MA".....

Hi friends,

Today i am going to talk about the best thing that has ever happened to me.....It's my MOM, MA, Mummy, mamma.....Someone rightly said "God couldn't be everywhere, so he created mothers"

What do i say about this special person, she is the most selfless person when it comes to me and my family.....All she knows, wants, understands is love.....

She's the reason for my existence, whatever i am today i owe it to her.....No matter what i do, i can't repay for all she has done for me.....

She is a person who cries if something goes wrong with me as well there are tears of happiness when i achieve something....She has stayed awake be it during studies to see that i study and don't sleep, prepared some tea or coffee to comfort me.....Always stood as Great wall of China whenever dad would come to beat me up for some mischief...hehe

She's been for me during my hard times, whenever i am tensed up, in pain...

One small incident i can remember when i was 13-14 yrs i guess.Me, my younger brother and my mom we had gone to collect some wood, while coming back with these blocks of wood i was actually pushing that log of wood with my leg, while doing so the sharp edge of wooden block hit my leg and my leg started bleeding, it din't pain much and i could bear that much pain, but moment i saw mom rushing towards me i started crying at the top of my voice, i did it unknowingly......later on i figured out that i actually did it just to get a hug from mom and get her words of love and kindness that nothing will happen son.....

We are 3 bro's, mom and dad in the family....let me tell you if anyone of us is not there in house someday, does not make much of a difference but one day if mom goes to visit some relatives the whole house looks so so so empty....

I watch a lot of movies...our movies must say are incomplete without mom's....One of the most emotional scene i can remember between the 2 most powerful people in the world, that's God and mom was when a son dies fighting evil and that time his mom looks at the sky and says "This is not fair, u have to give him his life back or else no one can save you from my curses"......wohhhh! i got goose bumps while watching that scene and yeah u guessed it right god gets scared and gives her son life....see even god stands no chance infront of your mom....haha

Today, i am away from my mom because of my career, i can't forget that day.....The time when that moment arrived of our separation she was all in tears, i could see the pain in her eyes that her son will not be infront of her eyes.....It was like someone is taking away her precious thing away from her.....I just dropped my bag, gave her a big hug and told her i would be back to meet her whenever she wants me to.....

All i want to say through this blog is, MOM you mean the world to me....I LOVE YOU MA....my world is incomplete without you.....



Thanks & Regards,
Jayesh

"Wanna be"

Hi Everyone,

I never thought that i would write my 2nd blog.......Now for thinking that way, reason is, i am a bit unstable person, some eg.'s would be, thought of joining gym, paid fees for 6 months as i was getting discount and exercised hardly a month.After shifting to mumbai, every month, sometimes in a week i change my tiffinwala.....my roomie says problem tiffin main nahi tere main hain....haha. Now i know wht would come to mind, what would jayesh do after marriage....:-(.......answer is even jayesh is not sure.....

Ok ok now lets come to main topic "Wanna Be"......happens na to most of us, we try to talk on some topic and end up talking something else....

Ok guys who am i today and what i wanted to be a big question often comes to mind........Actually when i was a kid, if mom, dad or any of my relatives asked me what i wanted to be when i grow up i would say engineer and i managed to become one, not the best but a good one......most of the kids have either a engineer or a doctor on their mind that was then when i used to be a kid .......i asked my 6 yrs old nephew what he wants to be and he said fighter jet pilot......his mom was also listening, she started shouting at him for that choice of profession......haha

Now u guys must be thinking Jayesh must be happy as he has become what he always wanted to be, an "Engineer".......No guys i am happy but not so happy.......Actually Engineer was not my 1st choice of profession, i will tell u my 1st choice, but but but u have to promise me that u won't laugh..........

I wanted to act in films, yes i WANNA BE an ACTOR,.......there your already laughing at me.......:-(.......i am sure when u see your favorite actor performing on silver screen u replace him with yourself.........

For me WANNA BE 's definition would be something that you would love to do round the clock and not get tired ,this job that i am currently doing i check my watch every now and then "6 baj gaya kya?"

Bye n take good care of urself.....

Jayesh
