I dont feel like writing anymore. I am just not in the right frame of mind to write. I have been thinking about a lot of things lately and have realized that I am probably just existing in my life not living it. As of right now, I am concerned about what the future holds for me. I hope that something positive comes out of this low phase.

A lot of things have changed since the last post. Things have changed for the worst. My life is stuck in the wrong lane and i dont see it changing any time soon.

Everyday while going to work, I go to the main road outside my complex and get a autorickshaw from there. The ricks are usually lined up one after the other picking up fares and going towards their destination. Yesterday when I reached the road, there were two ricks idly standing by, before I could approach them a lady approached the first rick. Assuming that it was already taken, I went to the 2nd rick and told him where I wanted to go. He agreed. The first rick was not interested in going where the lady wanted to go.. usually in the morning most people head towards Borivali station. I saw the lady, our eyes met, so I asked her if she was going towards station. She said yes, so we decided to rickshaw pool towards the station.

Today also the same thing happened, there was only one rick. I saw the same lady reach the rick before me. I anticipated that she would recognize me from yesterday and atleast ask if I was heading in the same direction as her.

The lady totally ignored me.

I was pissed off. But then luckily got another rick quickly and reached the station on time. Sometimes it is just too much to expect courtesy in return from people whom you have helped.

The last couple of days Mumbai actually feels like inside of an oven. It is very freaking hot. The temperature over the last few days has been hovering around 40C and it is only April. I wonder how things will be when we will be in the midst of May and summer is at its peak.

My first mobile post. I am running late for my first ever marathon. Lets hope i make it before the event registeration closes.

Ladies and Gentlemen, It is with great happiness and pleasure I am introducing my niece Radhika. Here she is…

My website now shows up on the top of the 2nd page in Google results for “Akshay V”. If you just search for “Akshay”, almost all the results display something related to Akshay Kumar. I really hate Akshay Kumar for hogging all the limelight. This reminds me I need to add some meta data in the website.

I found this on the Pune Times.. this is just funny..

PUNE: It was a sleepless Wednesday night for many citizens in the Pimpri-Chinchwad township and some Pune suburbs, following a rumour that people were dying in their sleep. The ‘reasons’ for the rumoured deaths were many – planetary effect, fast spreading illness and earthquake.

The rumours started spreading around 2 am on Thursday, as people started receiving calls on their phones informing them about the sudden deaths and warning them not to sleep.

Panic and anxiety spread among the people, mostly staying in chawls and hutments. The rumours spread fast as people started calling others on their mobiles.

Sunita Kamble, a resident of Sangvi, said she and her two children stayed awake outside the house after her husband received a phone call around 4 am, saying that people were dying in their sleep.

Another resident Tarabai Janrao too was awake, along with her children and family members, since early morning. Nanda Adhav of Kothrud also said she had heard about the panic that had spread in the locality.

The Pimpri police confirmed that a rumour had spread among the citizens. The rumour also caused anxiety among parents and in some institutions. “We received three- four calls in the morning from some students, a college and a bank employee asking whether the situation is normal and whether people can travel,” the duty officer at Pimpri police station said.

Chandrakant Shendkar of Balajinagar in Katraj told TOI that many residents in the locality did not sleep in the wee hours.

Chetan Chavale, who stays at the hospital quarters near Aundh, said he had received two calls from his relatives staying in Barshi and Tuljapur. “I was told that people were dying in their sleep due to some planetary effect. However, I did not believe it and had a good sleep,” he said.

Sukhdev Bachute of Sangvi said that although he did not believe in the rumour, children were the most sufferers as they were made to stay awake by their parents.

This is the second such rumour that has spread among people since Saturday, when Rakshabandhan was celebrated. As there was a lunar eclipse on Saturday, a rumour had spread among a section of females that if the rakhi was tied then the brother would die. Despite the rumours, the festival was celebrated with much fervour and gaiety.
