Beginning Today

Beginning Today

Beginning today, I will no longer worry about yesterday.
It is in the past and the past will never change.
Only I can change by choosing to do so.

Beginning today, I will no longer worry about tomorrow.
Tomorrow will always be there, waiting for me to make the most of it.
But I cannot make the most of tomorrow without first making
the most of today.

Beginning today, I will look in the mirror and I will see a person
worthy of my respect and admiration.
This capable person looking back at me is someone I enjoy spending time
with and someone I would like to get to know better.
Beginning today, I will cherish each moment of my life.
I value this gift bestowed upon me in this world and I will unselfishly
share this gift with others.
I will use this gift to enhance the lives of others.

Beginning today, I will take life one day at a time, one step at a time.
Discouragement will not be allowed to taint my positive self-image, my
desire to succeed or my capacity to love.
Beginning today, I will open my mind and my heart.
I will welcome new experiences. I will meet new people.
I will not expect perfection from myself nor anyone else: perfection does
not exist in an imperfect world.
But I will applaud the attempt to overcome human foibles.

Beginning today, I am responsible for my own happiness and I will do things
that make me happy . . .
admire the beautiful wonders of nature, listen to my favorite music,
pet a kitten or a puppy, soak in a bubble bath . . .
Pleasure can be found in the most simple of gestures.

Beginning today, I will learn something new; I will try something different;
I will savor all the various flavors life has to offer.
I will change what I can and the rest I will let go.
I will strive to become the best me I can possibly be.
Beginning today. And every day.

Beer River in Germany..!!


River of Beer discovered in Germanya perviously undiscovered natural river of beer has been found deep in Germany's Black Forest.


The existence of the Krautlager River, as it has been named, came as a pleasant surprise to most Germans as it is not even charted in maps of their legendary forest. The river of beer is believed to be the result of a fluke of nature. Fresh water from an underground spring flows down a riverbed surrounded by wild hops and barley plants. As the plants are periodically washed into the river, fermentation eventually occurs. The result is a delicious golden lager, which bubbles through the woodlands.


Beer lovers from around the world have been making pilgrimages to the Krautlager River since its discovery earlier this year. Many of these beer pilgrims have bathed in the beer believing it has magical powers that can increase their consumption and tolerance levels. Others just want to drink from the river rather than pay to drink in a traditional German beer garden.


Found Nemo...!!


Few years back, when i visited the National Aquarium, Baltimore, MD. I was surprised to see the bunch of kids waiting in the Coral Reef shelf and waiting anxiously for something. Suddenly they shouted "Nemo Nemo Nemo", on seeing the fish with White and Red stripes. Since i didn't see the movie "The Finding Nemo", i don't know about this.
Nemo is Clown Fish which are found in Coral reef of Australia which is very shy creature. I was excited to see the Clown Fish is the aquarium in Delhi airport, It was gr8 to see marine reef (with sea anemone, star fish and reef) maintained in Delhi. Same thing is maintained in Bangalore also by the same concern. so just clicked the Nemo.

Reunion with my Yamaha Bike...!!

Three weeks back, I received call from local Yamaha dealer that asking about my old bike's model and my address. I came to know from them that my bike which i lost one and half years back was recovered by police and was in a station which is 250 km from my place.

Initially, i could not believe the same coz i lost my bike in end of year 2005. when me and my wife were returning from market, i just parked (opp to parking slot) to have a fresh juice. Within the span of 10 minutes, i lost my bike (Though it has different keys for Ignition and Neck Lock). Since my insurance was expired, i was not able to claim also. Eventually all my hopes of getting my bike drained, as there was no positive response from the police. Still remember the times, I used to go to police station with bike keys. So all my hope got diminished and forgotten about the bike.

Now, I didn't take it seriously until i got a call from the concern police station for couple of times and asking me to take my bike.I was in dilemma whether to go and take the bike or not. When i asked to near and dear friends, few asked to get it and few asked me leave it as it would not be worth to spend that much money. Anyway i decided to give an try and went along with my friend Sanjay to that place. I was shocked to see the condition of the many motorcycle standing there (No seats, indicator broken , headlight broken, full of rust and Dash panel broken). I told my friend that if the condition will be same for my bike, then i will tell bye from them. I was surprised to see my bike as i could not identify it coz everything is changed (Fake Number, Alloy wheels, Engine cover like race bike), then identified with seat covers which i changed 1 week before i lost it and engine number.It was in better condition and in the separate place.

I got to know that it was caught in last week of 2005(within 1 month of theft ) coz there were not valid papers. After confirming the Registration Number is fake, police requested Yamaha motors India Ltd, to provide the dealer address where my bike is delivered based on the Engine and Chassis number. From there they contacted the Yamaha local dealer , to get the address of mine. Since my address is the old one, they contacted Yamaha dealer for my contact number and contacted me. There was immense effort made by few people in that police stations.
After finishing all the formality, i got my bike back.
"Hats off to those Super Cops"
Though i had registered FIR on theft of my bike in local police station and police registered the record after catching bike in the other police station, there were no correlation between these two local records. If police has some centralized database which is accessible by every police station, then i would have got my bike 1 year back. While govt department like Indian Railways, BSNL , Passport are having centralized database, why cant police too have it too? I think our police should also maintain a centralized database connecting each and every station in our country, So that there could be solutions available for some N cases.

Break from Blogging...!!
