I played tennis and was chatting with a my tennis partner afterwards. He is out of job.. for some time. He has done engineering, and worked for some time but lost that one and now is looking for a job. Its a horrible thing.. job search. People who are doing it and who have done it only know what it feels like. And then everyone asks you, did you find something, where all did u apply and finally they will tell you that u will get it. You don't know what to answer them. If they know you right, they won't ask this question. But still some people ask!! And everyone knows that they will land up in a good 1 eventually (if they think otherwise, they should stop thinking), and its a only matter of time.. but this phase is worst. Its pity that well learned people like engineers are unemployed. Although the education is highly underrated in India, because of so many people, a degree holds value.
btw.. speaking of tennis, it seems like my forehand has finally started goin well.. :))

My bike's RC book is missing. To get a duplicate copy, I have to get a report from police that it is missing. So 2/3 weeks after lodging a complaint, I got that report, finally. But had to bribe the police to get it. I went to police chowki nearby, evening time. Told the hawaldar.. 'Saheb, RC book missing cha report pahije, far diwas zale chakkar martoy'. Hawaldar told me to sit in the corner, because he was busy chatting with his buddies, so I sat next to criminal looking fellas. Police station is not a very good place for work, only two types of ppl come there, either police or criminals, generally speaking.. the Akron police station is much better and stronger looking place, ours here is too shabby, old haweli types, typical sarkari office. (I had gone there only for getting the towed car back with my friend, not for any other business ;-)). so.. our saheb told me 'tu far diwas chakkar martos, apala kaam lawkar zala pahije, tyasathi 2/4 rupaye gele tari chaltil. pan mi tula tuza report deto.' (indicating he needs money). after half hr wait, he managed a clerk write a report for me. and he took the report copy in the hand.. and before he handed it to me
saheb: fee dyawi lagel.
mi: (yacha andaz alach hota, pan cheheryawar ashchryache bhav anat) fee???
saheb: ho.
mi: mala mahit nahi kiti dyayachi aste.. (how much)
saheb: tumhi kiti anle ahet? (how much u got?)
mi: ..
I gave him 50 bucks, as he asked me. He gave me the report. I paid him for doing his job.

Today's was another grumpy morning.. when I woke up I realized it one more time that I have to redo my last 2 day's work today.. thanks to the intelligient sys admin's mistake.. And when I was about to get shower, I realized that there is no water. Apparantly due to the water tank cleaning activities going on in the apartment. Thats a nice start of the day I said.. 1 pan goshta manasarkhi hot nahi. Skipped the bath and got ready and went to work. This was probably the first day I went to work 'parosa'. Coming to think of it now, I think its a good idea not to have bath... like everyday. We give too much attention to useless things like bath. Just get ready, dress well, apply a lot of perfume and u r ready to go. Noone can make out that I am special today.. Waise ye dunia to sirf baharke appearace ki taraf dhyan deti hai.. ;-)
Writing a log was on my mind since a long long time. Today I made my debut. Hello World!!
