What the Luck !
He worked by day
And toiled by night.
He gave up play
And some delight.
Dry books he read,
New things to learn.
And forged ahead,
Success to earn.
He plodded on with
Faith and pluck;
And when he won,
Men called it luck.
And toiled by night.
He gave up play
And some delight.
Dry books he read,
New things to learn.
And forged ahead,
Success to earn.
He plodded on with
Faith and pluck;
And when he won,
Men called it luck.

The story and the myth..
A Story? A Myth? A Reality?
Story 1:
Long ago there existed a vigilante, a crime fighter named Batman in the Gotham City. He had a place called the BatCave which was his liar. He fought crime, helped people, lodged criminals behind bars and made the city happy. He also had a superhuman friend 'Superman' whose abilities included flight, superstrength, x-ray vision and heat rays. Both of them lived on this earth hundreds of year back.
How do we know this? From the books (comics) of Batman & Superman written few years back. Is there any other proof that they existed? No, but faith of millions can't be wrong, and they must have existed. Do the stories look convincing? Yes they do. Deoes everyone believe in this? No, but some of the people(DC comics followers) on this earth do.
Current Situation:
There is another group of people who believe only in Spiderman (Marvel comics followers), and they believe he is the only superhero who existed on this planet. Do they have any proof (except comic book)? No. Any evidence? No. They've built his memorial in the Gotham city. Now DC followers and Marvel followers fight for the ownership of this, with Marvel followers saying this is a Memorial dedicated to their beloved Spiderman, and DC followers saying this is the birthplace of Batman, and they hold the ownership of this site
Find this story idiotic? Foolish? People believing in the characters of some comic book story which has no material evidence? Find it hard to believe how some people can believe in just a story so much that they fight over the characters? Now read this story:
Story 2:
Long ago there existed aa avatar of God, a demon fighter named Rama in the Ayodhya City. He had a place called the Ayodhya which was his liar. He fought demons, helped people, lodged miscreants behind bars and made the city happy. He also had a superhuman friend 'Hanuman' whose abilities included flight and superstrength. Both of them lived on this earth thousands of year back.
How do we know this? From the books of Rama & Hanuman (Ramayana) written few thousands years back. Is there any other proof that they existed? No, but faith of millions can't be wrong, and they must have existed. Do the stories look convincing? Yes they do. Deoes everyone believe in this? No, but some of the people(Hindus) on this earth do.
Current Situation:
There is another group of people who believe only in Allah (Islam followers), and they believe he is the only God who existed on this planet. Do they have any proof (except their holy book)? No. Any evidence? No. They've built his mosque in the Ayodhya city. Now Hindus and Muslims fight for the ownership of this, with Muslims saying this is a Memorial dedicated to their beloved Allah, and Hindus saying this is the birthplace of Rama, and they hold the ownership of this site
Some people will find the first story utterly foolish, and the second story reality (based on the faith of millions). But as you notice, the only difference in both the stories is that one was written some 40-50 years back, and the other one some 1000 years back. But most of the people would laugh at the first story calling it as a figment of imagination, and hail the second one and true to the core. They will reject the characters of Batman, Superman, and Spiderman as 'imaginary' characters, but will believe in Rama, Hanuman and Allah so much so that they'll worship them daily and owe their existence to them.
What an irony!!

Job Satisfaction
Nothing good ever came of job satisfaction
Satisfaction is the warm, beery glow
that reassures you, 'all's well with the world'
It is the velvety welcome of a deep
soft couch, and a 32" TV.
It soothes, lulls and makes do
with words like perks and pak hikes
It always seeks the incremental, never the exponential
Satisfaction goes, "Hush, hush",
when ambition raises its voice
It hates hunger. It dulls your edge.
It holds you back.
Satisfaction is the nemesis of the entrepreneur,
who knows this satisfaction
never really buit anything

Ladakh Trip..
It has been 6 months since I visited Ladakh where I decided to write this blog so that I could revisit it to refresh the memories of my best ever trip. Anyways, better late then never, so here it goes...
THE TRIP
When I went to Triund (Mcleodganj), I was not sure whether this trip would happen or not. While returning, I was sleeping in the train when all of a sudden, I decided to make a trip to Ladakh.
The preparations started – woollens packed, maps printed, itinerary researched, flights booked, and so on.
The day was 8th July, when we started our journey from the Kashmere Gate ISBT.
DAY 1 & 2: DELHI - MANALI
We were going to Manali from Delhi, which was an arduous 16 hrs of journey and that too pinned down on a seat in a bus. Our ass got numbed, but we reached Manali at around 12:30 PM in the noon.
The hotel was the same one where we stayed when we went to Manali in January, and the room was also the same. What a coincidence! Actually it was no big deal since the hotel didn’t have too many guests.
We had decided to rest completely in Manali, and actually we needed that rest. After the ass-numbing journey we had to prepare ourselves for what lay ahead – 2 days of hill travel, and that too on one of the most uncomfortable road in the world, and not to forget the most inhospitable conditions.
DAY 3 : MANALI - SARCHU
The journey started next morning – infact the REAL journey started. We left Manali at around 6 AM, had our breakfast on the way and reached Rohtang La (‘La’ means a mountain pass, and it’ll be used in this a number of times).
Rohtang la wasn’t that picturesque and amazing as we had imagined it to be, as it hadn’t snowed there. We had another round of breakfast there and took out our woollens as it was cold. We were at 12,500 ft above sea level.
From Rohtang, the roads started showing their true colours. The road actually vanished, and it was replaced by a dusty road. Anyways we had expected that, and we were mentally prepared for this, so didn’t have much problem. What we were afraid of was the infamous Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS), that happens over 10,000 ft and causes nausea, vomiting and headaches. We were actually waiting for it.
But the surroundings !! They were amazing. The best landscapes I had ever seen in my life (I didn’t have any idea that the best was yet to come :) ) I kept on clicking photographs after photographs, and the landscaped continued to be better and better.
We crossed a number of passes that day, including Baralacha la (14,500 ft, most beautiful of them all) and Lachulung La (10,500 ft).
The roads were sometimes cut through ice (not snow), streams were flowing on the road which could be crossed by a good 4 wheel drive only (a sardaarji tried to cross it by his WagonR, and had to be rescued by the truck drivers).
We reached Sarchu at around 7 PM. Sarchu is Midway between Manali and Leh, and is a point where people stop for their night stay. The panoramic view of the mountains was amazing at Sarchu. We booked one the tents, freshened up and relaxed. We saw a cricket bat and a ball, and started playing cricket. Trust me, at 14,000 ft you shouldn’t exert too much, which we actually did, resulting in some huffs and puffs, and had to rest to bring our breath under control.
DAY 4: SARCHU – LEH
The following morning we started from Sarchu and travelled across the majestic Himalayas. We passed through passes like Tanglang-la (2nd highest pass in the world), Lachulung-la and many more. We reached Ladakh in the evening
Since the blog is becoming long so from her I’ll be writing main attractions with photographs
Leh: roaming around the city, trying to explore the stuff and getting acclimatized
Panagong Tso (panagong lake): Trip by Tata Safari. Went through Chang-la and reached the most beautiful and the biggest lake in the country (143 kms long, max 6 kms wide, 1/3rd in India and 2/3rd in China)
Khardungla Trek: We hired two Bullet Thunderbirds and started the best part of our journey. The road through Khardungla pass to the Nubra Valley (Siachen Glacier Base camp) is the highest motorable road in the World at 18,380 feet. It was snowing heavily an was very difficult to drive due to the ice on the road and due to the fact that we were wet throughout.
We stayed in a place called Dikshit.
There was a rock-show organised by the Tibetens in the night.
Next day, we visited Hunder, the place with the Sand Dunes and two humped camels.
Visited Panamik for the hot springs but is was just a trickle of Sulfur-water, just enough to wash our hands.
While returning captured some beautiful moments in the camera
The owner of the hotel was most polite and humble in serving us. We had dinner in his nice kitchen in Ladakhi style. We talked a lot to him about Indian and Tibetan Buddhism, state of Ladakh, atrocities by army, life in the winters, terrorism etc. It was nice to know about these things from a person who is actually living there.
Went on the Leh-Kargil road. The view was amazing. The place where Indus and Zanskar river meet is breathtaking.
Observed the phenomenon of Magnetic hill. It was an Illusion but a good one.
Ladakh was beautiful from the Sky. These are the pictures from my flight.
I feel really sad not to be able to add all the photos. Each one of them is amazing. They are stored at http://picasaweb.google.com/ashu.iitkgp/LadakhTrip#
In short, an AMAZING trip. I'll definitely go back to Ladakh.

Would you kill millions to save billions?
Could the ‘Absolute Morality’ be defined? Could someone someday provide an answer for how to judge whether something is moral or immoral, something is right or wrong? Something which would be acceptable to all?
“If you have to kill millions to save billions, would you do that?”
Watched the movie “The Watchmen” sometimes back. It is an amazing movie with some thought provoking dialogues and characters. At the climax of the movie, the hero/villain (its for you to decide) wanted to save a definite nuclear war between Russia and USA, which would have killed billions all over the world. He masters a plan for a nuclear-like explosion in New York which would appear to have been caused by one of the Superheroes endorsed by USA. This would divert the attention away from nuclear war. He did exactly this, killing millions in New York and as a result of which, USA and Russia became friends and the nuclear war was prevented. He claimed that by killing millions he saved billions. Some of the superheroes agreed with him and called him a hero, but others disagreed with him and called him a villain.
A similar thing happened in Sri Lanka very recently. LTTE had killed thousands of civilians in Sri Lanka over the last 20 years, and would have continued to do so had the government not launched an all-out offensive against them. The government was determined to defeat them, no matter what price they would have to pay. The LTTE used Tamil civilians as shield, and they were caught in the crossfire. Despite appeals from all over the world to stop fighting so that innocent civilians don’t die, the government attacked LTTE from all sides, not caring about the civilian deaths which ran into hundreds of thousands. In the end, the LTTE was eliminated once and for all, but over 25,000 civilians died and 300,000 moved to relief camps.
Again, this is a question as raised in the movie ‘Watchmen’. Was this the right decision? Was it moral or immoral? Did the Sri Lankan government kill thousands to save millions?
25,000 innocent civilians lost their lives, but LTTE has been eliminated and won’t kill civilians anymore. Had they not been eliminated, they might have killed another 30,000, or maybe a million more innocent civilians. They could have grown and could have been like Taliban. They could have been the Masters of Terror. They had already killed around 50,000 civilians in Sri Lanka in the last 20 years. The death of these 25,000 civilians is a price that has to be paid to prevent the worst.
On the other hand, there could have been another solution. The Tamils have been marginalised and discriminated in Sri Lanka, which gave rise to LTTE problem. The root cause of the problem should have been addressed, rather than being over aggressive. The 25,000 people that died were all Tamils, and this could give rise to a hatred filled society, with Tamils blaming the Sinhalese for their plight. The government could have talked to LTTE, and with international pressure and some compromise from both sides, this could have been averted. Sri Lanka could have given more autonomy to Tamils, and in return LTTE could have laid down their arms.
Both the scenarios have a lot of “could have”. Nobody knows what ‘would have’ happened if these ‘could haves’ had become reality. It’s not something which is in black and white. I’m unable to say if the Sri Lankan government did the right thing or the wrong thing. What do you say?

Who am I: 5 years later
around 5 years back...when I started my blog one of the first post was the "Personality Test" from this site. I doubt the correctness of such tests and believe that just by answering a few question nobody can make out who you are. Anyway, I took the same test today, after around 5 years, and the results have actually changed !!

The great IPL final..
Well it was the IPL finals on Sunday...though I wasn't very exited about it and didn't support any team in particular, I was going to watch it as I had nothing else to do on a Sunday. There were two options before me - either watch the game on TV in the comfort of my home, or go to a sports bar/normal bar with someone. I chose the second option.
There is a good sports bar in Gurgaon - 'Howzzat'. I wanted to watch a match there, so when Nishant Mathur proposed to see the IPL final there, I was game. NM drove all the way from Noida to Gurgaon in about 1 hour to watch the game at Howzzat, and I joined him. However, when we reached there, it was packed to the capacity and we were not allowed to enter. I think if we had a girl with us, they would have allowed us inside, but we were not that fortunate. The match had already started with 2 overs gone.
Then I decided to go to our old bar 'Below 8' in the cybercity. I wanted to go there as I had watched T20 world cup final there, and it was really a great experience (and they offered free Vodka shots with every wicket:). We raced our bike to cybercity, parked it (for Rs 20/hour ! even parking is expensive in Gurgaon). We went there only to find my great 'Below 8' closed. What the hell! A bar closed on Sunday on the day of IPL final! Anyway, We couldn't do anything. We tried another restaurant near that but it wasn't showing matches.
Then we decided to go to Ambience Mall, the biggest in Gurgaon. There had to be atleast one place which was showing the match. we again raced our bikes to Ambience Mall. After some searching, we found a bar 'Beer Island' which was showing the match. We thought it was full, but luckily we got the seats. Finally we could see the match after 13 overs were bowled.
But..But ..
The place was good, the beer was amazing (brewed there itself), but there was no commentary. The music was also good, but it was way too loud and we couldn't even talk! we had some pork sausages and beer till the 1st innings were over. The music acually kept getting louder by all this time.
Finally, we decided that commentary was important, and there is no fun in watching cricket wthout commentary. Also, the closing ceremony was much hyped, and we wanted to see that 'with sound'. So, we decided to go back home.
Finally when we reached home, there were 6 overs to be bowled in second innings. We were happy that we would be able to watch the climax of the game and the closing ceremony 'with sound'.
The match was great, but the closing ceremony was pathetic. First of all, it was too long and surprisingly before the presentation ! What the hell was Lalit Modi thinking. Everyone got so bored that I think a lot of people went to sleeb before the presentation. Finally after 1 hour of bullshit, the trophy (design.. yuk! )was presented to Deccan Chargers.
We saw only 15 overs of the game out of 40 :(
