Studs in satara... ऊर्फ पप्पुचे लग्नं..!

आम्या मुंबईवरुन स्वत:ची गाडी, भाड्याचा चालक (diver ) व आभ्याला(गाय.) घेऊन शुक्रवारी(११ डिसेंबर) भल्या पहाटे ९:३० वाजता पुण्यात धडकला, म्हणजे पोचला. (पुण्यात गाडी घेऊन खरोखर धडकणं हा श्रीमंती षौक आहे!) शुक्रवारी भल्या पहाटे ७:३० वाजता पश्याने (माझा शाळेतला मित्र) झोपमोड केली, काय तर म्हणे क्रिकेट खेळायचा प्लॅन आहे. मी रात्री ४:३० वाजेपर्यंत कंपनीत खर्डेघाशी केल्याने क्रिकेट खेळणं तर दूरच, पण बघणं पण शक्य नव्हतं. पण अचानक पशाला क्रिकेट खेळायची कशी काय हुक्की आली देव जाणे!

मग मी त्याला समजावलं ते असं - हे बघ पश्श्या.. असा न तसा एकतर तू लवकर आऊट होतोस. बर सगळ्यांना बॉलिंग दिली पहिजे असा काही क्रिकेट्मधे नियम नाही..(How undemocratic!), मग तूझा खेळ क्षेत्ररक्षणापुरता मर्यादित राहतो.. बॅट्स्मनने मारलेला बॉलपण तूझ्याकडेच फार वेगाने येतो नाही; (मॅग्नॅटिक पर्सनलिटी, दुसरं काय?) तसा एखाद्याने चौकार मारण्याला तूझा विरोध अजिबात नाही, पण मग तो चेंडू सीमारेषेच्या थोडासाच बाहेर थांबावा अशी तुझी माफक अपेक्षा असते.. सीमारेषेपलिकडे (खरंतर अलिकडे पण) ५० मीटर पळणं हा वेळेचा तद्दन दुरुपयोग आहे. असो! ह्या विषयावर पश्याचा माझ्याशी मतभेद असल्याने तो खेळायला गेला....वर म्हणे, विन्या आला असता तर मला जरा मॉरल सपोर्ट मिळाला असता.. हम्मं.. तसाही नंतर सामन्याचा स्कोअर ऐकला तर एखाद्याला प्रश्न पडावा- हे क्रिकेट खेळले कि फूटबॉल? असो!

शुक्रवारी दुपारी ९:४० ला अखेर मी, आम्या, आभ्या आणि शशीतल (एकुण ५ हं!) पुण्यावरून कात्रज घाटातून NH4 ने साताय्र्याला निघालो. मधे शशीचा सातारी आग्रह न मोडता आम्ही व्यवस्थित चहापान केलं. सुरुवातीला आभ्याचे भ्रमणयंत्र (तब्बल दुसरया खेपेस) चोरीला गेल्यासंबंधी चर्चा व शेवटी शोकसभा झाली.. :D सगळेच जण आपापल्या क्षेत्रात काम करणारे कंत्राटी कामगार असल्याने गप्पा साहजिकच कोणाचं काय काम चालू आहे, अलिकडे किती SLA बुडाले, आजकाल ऑफशोअरची लोकं कामच करत नाहीत, मग त्याचा ऑनसाईट्च्या लोकांना कसा त्रास होतो अशा वळणाच्या होत्या. हल्ली कोणी जॉब बदलले, कोणाला किती मिळत असेल, कोणा संगणक-सुंदरींची लग्नं झाली ;) अशा गप्पा चालू होत्या. मधेच कोणाची कंपनी जास्त वाईट ह्यावर छोटासा वाद झाला.. (अशा वादात एकेकाळी आव्या जिंकायचा.. his first company was incredibly bad ;) )..शेवटी सगळ्यांच्याच कंपन्या वाईट हयावर सहमती झाली.

सातारय़ात शिरतानाच त्या शहराने एकदम आपली छाप टाकली.. खरंच फार सुंदर शहर!. छोटंसंच इन मीन ४ एक्झिट मधे संपतं, पण चकाचक! देखण्या जुन्या इमारती, प्रशस्त रस्ते, उद्याने, मैदाने .. आणि हवामान तर एकदम झकास.. शहरात पोहचल्यावर आभ्या (इंग.) ला उच्चल्लं आणि विवाह स्थळाकडे प्रस्थान केलं. कार्यालय सातारय़ाच्या बाहेर असल्यानं शेवटच्या टप्प्यात (नेहमीप्रमाणे) रस्ता चुकलो. मग रीतीनुसार, गाडीतले ५ अभियंते ह्यांनी प्रोजेक्ट मॅनेजमेंट, CMM-I प्रोसेसेस आणि 6-sigma मेथडॉलॉजीज ह्यांचा close to २० वर्षांचा (५ जणांचा प्रत्येकी ४ वर्षे) अनुभव वापरला आणि आम्ही अखेर साई आशीर्वाद मंगल कार्यालय, लोणंद रोड येथे पोहचलो.. त्याआधी "Difficulty of path is exponentially proportional to number of stranger engineers in the car" असा आम्ही एक सिद्धांत मांडला, आणि तो लगेच सिद्धदेखील झाला… कारण आमचा मित्र शशिकांत जाधव लग्नाला रस्ता (जास्त) न चुकता पोहचला. पण तो त्याच्या गाडीत एकटाच होता… त्यामुळं बहुतेक ;)

पोहोचताच नवरदेव (आव्या.. सॉरी अविनाश :))ची भेट घेतली आणि म(निषा) वरुन थोडे टोमणे मारले.. :) वाटत होतं सगळं ठीक चाल्लंय पण गंडांतर न करेल तो अव्या कुठला! पठ्ठ्याचा बुट घरी विसरल्यानं श्रीवंदनाला उशीर झाला. आभ्यानं (गाय.) ही जिवाभावाच्या मित्राच्या लग्नात (एका डोळ्यात हसु व एका डोळ्यात अंसु) घेवुन बेफाम नृत्य केलं... आपण सगळे समझु शकतो त्याचे दु:ख! मग आव्यानेही मागे न राहता "जाओ तुम चाहे जहां, याद करोगे वहां" या दु:खमय गाण्यावर गणपती डँन्स केला.. :) बरा झाला.. :D त्यानंतर ज्यासाठी गेलो होतो ते कार्य (जेवण) हाती घेतलं. जेवण खरच मस्त होतं आणि अविनाश इथापेसारखा दिलदार यजमान पण होता.. :p मग भीड न बाळगता संपूर्ण भारतीय पद्धतीने जेवण झालं, लोक अगदी हाताने भात कालवून जेवली.. जेवताना सगळ्या कॉमन मित्रांच्या आठवणी, चौकशा चालू होत्या. मी आणि आम्याने आव्याला मिस केलं. जेवणानंतर ग्रामीण भागातला चहा कसा असतो ह्या औत्सुक्यापोटी एक छोटा अभ्यास दौरा केला. अभिजीत(इंग.), अमित आणि शितल ह्यांनी आनंदाने मार्गदर्शन करण्याचे मान्य केलं.. बाकी सगळं नीट पार पडलं.

आमचा आत्तापर्यंतचा गाडीचा अनुभव आणि घड्याळ बघून, आम्ही लवकर निघण्याचा निर्णय घेतला :) आता परत जायची वेळ आली. सगळ्यांचा निरोप घेवुन आम्ही तरी संध्याकाळी ५ वाजता निघालो. मधेच मामी व मेसवाल्या आंटींना पण भेटलो. आभ्यानं(गाय.) त्याचा व आव्याचा (एवढ्या वर्षांनी का होईना) मामीकडचा हिशोब मिटवला.. बरं वाटलं. थोडावेळ Kbp मधेपण फेरफटका मारला.. कॉलेजचे जुने दिवस आठवले. मग त्याही गप्पा रंगल्या. तेथे थोडेफार फोटो पण काढले. आभ्यानं(गाय.) काळोखाचेही १-२ फोटो काढले(याला फार कौशल्य लागतं राव!)… तरी बरे आले फोटो... :)

शेवटी सातारा सोडलं... अनं कधी पुणं आलं ते कळालंच नाही. आम्हाला पुण्यात सोडुन आम्या मुंबईला गेला. हुरहुर लागणं म्हणजे काय, हे कात्रजला ऊतरल्यावर कळालं. जुन्या मित्रांच्या भेटी-गाठी झाल्या ह्याचा आनंद तर होताच, पण हा दिवस एवढ्या लवकर संपला ह्याचं वाईटही वाटत होतं...

बघू परत कधी असा योग येतो… तोपर्यंत इमेल, सेलफोन आणि स्मृतीचित्रे आहेतच…!

Reply to tinni's mail

Ciao We have just 2 days left before D day on Saturday and there seem to be lot more things to be worked upon. I guess we haven't booked our venue yet. of course, everybody wishes to participate but different physical locations and time zones we work in are causing lot of problems. We can still make ends meet if we pace up things from here onwards. I know everybody will get angry now after hearing what I have to say. But with my apologies to all of you I just want to relay.…. weekend of almost 4 days seems to have done the trick. but looks like not everybody can enjoy such a luxury and some of us would be slogging it out inspite of weekend. unfortunately i fall in the latter category this time. i will not be available on mon and tuesday. unlike college days, time has really become a expensive commodity for all of us. so that is going to happen on and off. my manager has warned me not to take leave on Monday as my colleagues would be on leave leaving me alone. This is sheer violation of our fundamental right of freedom?? :-( . With due respect to Gandhiji, just imagine how Mahatma Gandhi would have felt if he was alive today. I am protesting here with a black ribbon tied to my sleeve.but nobody knows about it. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha .................... I will let you know as soon as some good sense prevails over my manager and he let me go wherever I want. again really sorry for my profanity but please dont give it a excuse. people like me would be in a position to wake up late on saturday(as i will be having annual bash of cybage on friday night) and then lend their auspicious presence to get together provided that it begins in the late afternoon. please try and plan it so that we can have maximum comfort. last but not least 3 cheers for the creativity and resourcefulness of amya and tinni to take the initiative.they certainly deserves that for every time coming out with colorful and innovative ways of doing things. And to make ordinary looking things look not so ordinary or even extra ordinary.This time when they get their creative juices flowing... the result is here for every one of us to see.

Wedding Syndrome

The sketch is taken from Prasad's Wedding invitation card...

guys

This isn’t a traditional formal post to say u all hi (as im back…) neither I will list down the names who really perceived 2 get me back (as i & those who tried- both knows it very well) I really couldn’t find whether its good to come back… at least to end this cliffhanger. That’s essentially a rhetorical question. Let you feel pressurized to provide answers! bcoz I don’t love blowing my own trumpet each and every time. Anyway…

Now diwali buzz is over and wedding season is taking it’s place to step towards its peak… As we all know… our beloved friend satish aka ‘chaddya’ (informally we call him with this name to show lot of respect :) ) is tying his knot with medico pravina… He must be in the seventh heaven and his exhilaration is palpable… but as said earlier he will soon become an inanimate object just like a sofa or a cushion for that matter.. heh heh
But I have some different views to this event…

I think this event is none less than a festival time for us as we all will be meeting for this event।

I guess, everyone is eagerly waiting for this …… me too.

Hellooooooooooo

Hello All,

First of all let me wish you all a very happy, prosperous and safe DIWALI.
Hope you enjoy Diwali with all your dear and near ones.

One more thing to share with all of you, today I completed 1 year in IBM INDIA and its a true feeling of joy so guys and gals congratulate me.
Today It was a flashback of old memories as I was eagerly waiting for a Job and wants to thank two of my friends who really helped me out of the situation, Sagar and Amit.
Amit I really remember your words which really inspired me and Sagar who was always there during my bad times.
But Its true that gud days come after the worst.
;) Happy Diwali.

HAPPY DIWALI N PROSPEROUS NEW YR.

hi,

Its been quite sometime since i have been thinking about this............ as more and more ppl talk to me about this it really feels bad...... u all have been talking about this for quite some time specially amit avi and sashi...........

I thought on this matter dat wen amit took effort to create blog wherein v can cumup and share our feelings(watever it mght b),can still feel togetherness,i personally feel dat its not our rght to leave this blog in middle.(so sagar tu bahar mil,tereko dekti hu,but do join here again,even wen u have got ur own blog,vaha mai nai aunge ok... hhhheeee) just joking nothing serious .

I think v r mature enuf sagar to solve our matters without doing all this,aint v?

N if u still feel dat this is not enuf den .hmmm....u dont join my blog too.ok.done.

Hey,life is too short for all this,lets have fun all again like old days,lets make this site njoyable,lets not have regrets n greivances.

so guys lets get the charm back and have fun like the gud olds days and yes one more thing SASHI and ABHI Ingavle welcome to unitygains.............

WISH U ALL WONDERFUL DIWALI AND CHERISHING NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
