Life moves at a different pace in this city of dreams…i came to this city the first time in my life on May 16th carrying perceptions build up in the past 24 years..
The pace of life, work, people & developments engulfs you into it so much so that you feel that you don’t feel like moving out of this Mumbai Shell…
Jaipur offered a peaceful, lonely yet wise lifestyle…Mumbai gave me what i missed the most during my Jaipur stint “Friends”..
From work to weekends, life became more beautiful, busy & every moment was blissful! New friends – Balu, Naicey, Naresh, Sang, Dheeraj , Ayush, Ritam & Viju made it quite eventful & happy!
Weekend plans became the focus areas during the week, desk phone rang up frequently with Naresh, Balu checking out on plans for the weekend – Movies, Plays, Dinners, Night outs occupied a lot of my mindshare!
3241, 3533 (incoming numbers) on my deskphone, chain mails in office become an integral part of my daily routine! Soon, i had 2 very strong partners in crime standing by me in successfully implementing my weekend money spilling plans….smartly convincing the REST ( ref. Naicey, Dheeraj, Ritam, Viju – Married man now)…Firangi , Raj Bhog, Poptates, Urban Tadka were the most commonly and frequently used words in our lives!
This was indeed great a time which is a well gelled history for me!
Very special birthday celebrations coupled with Sang’s Bachelorette party @Firangi was a nice ice breaker for all of us & gave us memories which are engraved inside forever!
Things moved on, life paced up, our bonds grew stronger each passing day! Balu’s home was our DEN & Viju’s preparations ( PAKODAS, CHAI) were relished by all!
Life was busy yet enjoyable here in this city as there was something more to life here! It was full of surprises, pleasant & shocking !
ESPN Cric Info – ‘Fantasy Cricket’ brought the Champion out of Balan, also showing glimpses of the fact that kids do exist in an Adult ( Read Balan)! World Cup was fun, India Won! We celebrated in style on the roads, a mad rush around added to the excitement!
Life & Naresh Kodithala:
You learn every moment from different people, would like to mention something about Naresh here, an ever- smiling, tension free, gal-friendly, a man who stands by you every moment ! He was my closest partner in crime at Mumbai, a performer at Work, a friend in a billion whom you can trust!
Both of us shared quite a lot of our LIKES, especially restlessness on weekends, movies, girls, friends!
God was kind enough to introduce me to this ever smiling, no-crib, trustworthy man who lived life to the fullest ‘KING SIZE’…I can’t Thank HIM enough on this!
22nd April, we watched an IPL Match together, drinks followed late night, truths & secrets started flowing…23rd April, we watched a couple of videos, abused each other for not deciding anything for the evening…..called up our 3rd partner in crime balu for an evening dinner plan….4 pm sharp both of us, accompanied by Dheeraj knocked on Balu’s door…where we had good fun playing PS3, having Chai!
Excited as we all were to move around in Naresh’s car which had recently come over from Hyderabad, we went to Inorbit – Vashi fr shopping, discussing plans on attending Viju’s marriage, etc….
After some bit of shopping, we had a gooood time at a Lounge in the mall, clicked pictures & a very happy saturday evening came to end! Drive back home was enjoyable, discussions, leg-pulling & random music were the fillers, my stupidity of plugging the wrong end of a car charger made all roll with laughter for a few minutes….
Finally, Naresh dropped us all home, bid adieu while he seemed a little impatient as it was 12 am and he had to leave for Lonawala at 4 am….
When i logged on to Facebook at night, an Update from Naresh ” Happy B’day God!” was there, wishing his favourite cricketer Sachin Tendulkar a happy b’day!
It was a routine Sunday morning, i got a call that Naresh had met with an accident, i tried to reach his number…which was ringing…i Hoped and prayed that it should be a bluff and even if its happened it should have be a minor one…
He wasn’t answering our calls, the group came together, other friends tried to reach him….I was Hoping that all should be fine…i wasn’t able to accept the fact that something of this sort has happened….
An office colleague informed me that it was a serious accident as Naresh has fallen down from Tiger point cliff….the shock was big enough , i could not expect, digest or absorb the same! All of us i believe we PRAYING hoping that he should come out fine….
God has His own ways of writing destinies for all of us ! He had taken away a very special human from our Group! Naresh was no longer with us!
We lost him due to Incompetent policemen who came to the point quite late because of which rescue mission started 3 hours after the incident had happened, No professional rescue teams & environment ministry- who had removed railings/ bars on the pretext of some environment crap , which would have saved Naresh & many other young men if they would have been there…
25th April was a new day when everyone couldn’t come to terms with our loss! Days have passed by but, the void is forever!
NARESH KODITHALA will be missed forever! God Bless his soul! I wish & hope that Government, Police & Ministries work Honestly…its a Utopian scenario but, i do WISH to see that happen!
Every day, every weekend i miss my partner in crime! Thanks to Balu and Group, we have stuck together, bonds have grown stronger & i would just pray to God that it remains like this forever!
God Bless all of you!

Hi…this is a serious post , generally when i am low on emotions , i tend to write philosophical crap, bear with the thing which shall follow……
Some of my own experiences in life ( short ) till now have given great lessons which everyone can benefit from , discard or use…its upto you…tomorrow even i may find them a piece of crap…but. whats the harm in writing the down here….
1. Life is beautiful if you remain honest to your ownself , which generally happens till the time we don’t start running in the course of life for SHOWING the WORLD that we are something…
The disease of ” getting noticed ” is one which drives you crazy and drives the innocence out of you….and makes you something which even you aren’t comfortable in accepting….
2. Love is great , if there is someone who can make you feel awesome…i believe you are the luckiest soul in the world , infatuation should never be considered as Love…which happens in majority of the cases , in the end when you face the reality , you breakdown….thats when you change….without any reason..
3. If you really love someone and you are shy in expressing the same to that person, this one’s about me ,however hard the shell looks from outside , there lies a shy ass inside who doesn’t express the real feelings and compromises with the pain of not being able to do so….don’t feel bad or curse yourself , there might be a reason why you aren’t doing it , figure out that reason , if its justifiable to self then BE THE SAME…..everyone has his or her share of experiences which makes you think or act in the manner you do….so its cool..
4. The World is a nasty place, generally people have nothing to do with your happiness quotient , your emotions , your success or failure , if they don’t want anything from you….if you are expecting the JUNTA to be empathetic , you are acting like a loser…which is natural and it happens…in some cases like mine…it happens more frequently…but, again i would say…we learn , experiences make us learn and we CHANGE…but, still its in our hands to VALUE the relations and RESPECT those whom you feel have been reciprocative or have done some good to you or have affected your life positively , let me tell you these genuine cases will be tooo less , five fingers or say ten will be sufficient to count them….KEEP THEM CLOSE..because once gone…the gap is such that it will never be filled….and the pain , if you are emotional like i am will be there always…deep inside , subconsciously it stays there….
5. Love and respect your parents for being there always for you , blood relations are irreplaceable and i can bet on the same…just check how many times have you thanked your parents for being there for you…listening to your crap…which even your best friend might feel sick of at times…..VALUE THEM…GEMS !!
6. Commit mistakes for if you don’t you won’t learn much in life , this might not be relevant to many of us…but, its the case with me…the ass in me doesn’t learn it the normal way….
7. Play around , show some guts , do crazy things , for if you can make people smile and KEEP yourself happy , you have lived LIFE TO THE FULLEST…BHASAD as we say at IMT…do it !!!!
8.Have uniqueness in your personality , make it graceful , it should be such that you impact lives and people miss you when you are gone….
9. Earn lots of money , as i believe MONEY MATTERS a lot…in this World we stay in…Respect for honest work and Money are two things which drive the way the world will treat you….
10. Self-respect is the most important thing in the World , never loose it…and if you have realised this fact…introspect, i believe in working for RESPECT all my life….certain things influence you and your upbringing is one which is most impactful as you form impressions of the World that time…. and you somewhere inside decide what will be of great importance to you in your life….these desires keep changing but, a base is prepared at that point in time….
THATS IT FOR NOW…LOTSA CRAP…ABUSE ME IF YOU FIND IT CRAPPY , LOVE ME IF YOU FIND THAT SOME OF IT MADE YOU THINK….

The TOTTA Theory :
Totta is a word coined by someone who wanted to give all the sexy girls a HOT name.
Patola : Superior Version of a TOTTA ( Found in regions like Punjab , Chandigarh ,Delhi ( Akshay’s request ), Kashmir , Rajasthan, MUMBAI…as far as my experience goes )
When we move from West to the East across our country , i seee a tragic decline in the number of TOTTAS. Which makes me sad and i am still conducting a market research on finding reasons for the same. A guy who’s born and brought in Chandigarh , the Totta Land , then moving over to Patiala ( A decent Totta City ) , then Ghaziabad ( No comments , its completely TOTTA deprived ), then Patna ( Silence ) , Now Lucknow ( It took me 2 months to find one TOTTA and that too on a rainy day , when all the ugly looking things also look beautiful, i am praying that whatever i saw was real and i wasn’t deceived by the Rain Gods ).
Facts about TOTTAS ( Based on experience ) :
1. TOTTA Land lies in Punjab , Neighboring areas and MUMBAI.
2. TOTTA is a TOTTA for everyone , no guy can disagree on the same , if it isn’t the case , then you have been bluffed.
3. Thou shall always be surprised when thy sees a TOTTA.
4. A TOTTA shall never notice you.
5. TOTTAS are always committed. But, it doesn’t mean you don’t try. Commitments can be swapped.
6. TOTTAS can never be trusted.
7. Thou shall not fall in love with a TOTTA , as thy never can 
8. TOTTAS are generally dumb, the beauty always gathers more attention than what lies INSIDE !!!
9. TOTTA Per capita decreases as you move West to East in India ( Kati says they have TOTTAS down south e.g. Deepika Padukone and some other hotties ).
10.TOTTAS look for guys with BIG Moolah , if you have it you can surely get one ! The other big things follow…
This article is incomplete…with time it shall be updated…i request all the TOTTA Lovers to pour their worthy comments on the same…
