Long weekend

Had a very long weekend.
Had been to my wifeys office for family day on Thursday and got to meet asim, who offered me to join their football group. Although an holiday, friday was very boring but enjoyed my time with kiddo.
Started early on saturday and was on FC ground at 7am. These guys turned up late and started playing at 8am. Didnt do the ... See Morewarm-up thinking of conversing energy :)
Started with scoring the very first goal and with lot of spirit as I was playing for the first time in pune after a really long break. But then lost on stamina and retreated back as goalie.
By 9:30, was fully exhausted and took break for water.

Sunday was more fun as we decided to visit my in-laws.
For lunch, had nice fish fry but was not able to suff much as it was too late.
Luckily got to play box-cricket after a very long time. There was this bet of "pepsi for all" wherein loser has to pay the bill.
Played couple of games and had a great time.
Recalled my engg days where we had some fierce box-cricket matches. I still remember my teammates shyam, vallabh, amit and moholkar all putting up excellent show to scare the hell out of our seniors.

So all charged up to play more now.
But first, seems like will have to get into shape again.
Looking forward to it :)

My Startup - The beginning

Background The idea struck way back in 2007 when I was playing for IMM team in Bangalore. This group used to organize regular matches and an annual tournament with rival group BTM. We used to have high drama even for the local weekend matches. Surprisingly there was no way to publish results on any cricketing site. So I pushed the scorecard and match details on wordpress blog. Here is the link to the older blog: Marathi Cricket blog From then on, me and prashant - who was also teammate at IMM, always discussed on how to setup such a website on our own. But then I moved to pune and things got slowed down due to lack of time. We were always in touch and the idea to start was still in our heads. Meantime, I was looking at different db schemas and tried to come with one on my own. For almost 3 years, we were not sure how to go for this startup. So we tried our hands with joomla. And once we saw that we can build our own custom module like the way we wanted it, we became s...

On Road Encounters

In pune, there is never a dull moment when one is driving. Everyday, it somehow happens that i get into close shave! I am planning to post all such incidents here. So buckle up, put on ur helmets for this joy-ride, hoping that there wont be any road incident that i wont be able to write down later :) Friday, Jan 7, 2011: we planned to go to baner around 8pm. so started early for office as had to come back home by 7-7:30 pm. The ride to office was again free of any major troubles. Returned home in evening without any major findings. We started around 8:30pm for baner. Took the swargate-tilak road-university-baner route. There was quite traffic till swargate, as usual. There was a jam near durvankur on tilak road. There are basically non-operating signals on this busy cross-road and bikers zip through fast between cars. Was standstill with 2-3 cars ahead of mine. unfortunately, i couldnt see a biker facing me coming from durvankur. he too stopped dead next to my a-pilla...

Metro in pune

Metro in pune (28th Jan 2010) Now officially the govt has given the green signal to this project. As everyone knows, this decision was delayed quite a few times and god knows when it all had started. I find one thing that is common between these projects from pune and bangalore. These projects were approved once the land/flat prices  had reached there peak values. bangalore real estate prices were already were at its peak then and people thought it will bubble down. then came the metro and surely it helped push the prices upwards. So i am trying to understand the bigger picture. Did these cities had congestion problems earlier- yes. Did these cities had high real estate growth earlier- yes Did these cities had heavy migrant population leading to influx of lot of people- yes. Did these cities expanded like crazy- yes. The last one is really the one thing i consider to be the reason behind this. Both these cities expanded in residential boundaries. say now people are ...
