41 years of stay on planet earth..
6 years spent in college..
19 years of career..
..might have given me 1st level friends and relatives almost nearing to 800.. to 900 in number.
and the network might have spread to minimum of 3000 persons.. all live and kicking !
out of that network . like minded and strong supporting men must be atleast 500 ! .. and again all of them live and drinking !!
well .. when I gave call to most of my people, half of them ruled out possibility of me taking out 12 days off my routine and go on drive.
bhai.. ae koi business trip nahi jo tum mast ghoomoge aur evening me kisi city me apney wahan ke local friends ke sath party manaoge.. its a driving challenge ! ..it wont be like your business trips.
oh, they have a point there......!
"what about kids ..? do you think they will be comfortable without you both at a time..? .. use jana hai toh jane do na.. manju, tumhara jana kya jaroori hai aisi barsat ki mausam mein bachchon ko chhod ke..?" -parents.
so ..?? ..did they mean I take some one else as a partner ..? ...what an idea sir ji!!
and from the rest..
some are on working tour.
some of them are busy in routine.
its raining all over so kids of most of the friends not keeping well...
my own sister is away from home for her kid's judo compititions...
my cousin's son broke his leg while playing...
old collegue has lost his job..
...
..
and so on.
and some are so generous they opened their precious mouth for me and assured me over phone that they will see & try to do something for me!! ... (oops !..Did'nt I asked just to click the safe link and vote their friend ...??!) ..or did they thought I will do only something that is at par contesting for the presidential elections.
yesterday I heard my wife saying..
"..manish, is it necessary we should go on this challenge at this time ??"
what.. !!? when did we qualified in top 100 ?.. did we ??????
"oh sweetu, just imagin you are in those 3 qualified ones and tell me will you ask this question..??
common.. lets qualify in top 100 first.... we will be called for auditions and tests.
let us pass those tests and qualify in first 3. .....then win.
dont worry darling, there are many others who have already geared up to make us sit at home at top 100 level only ! ..going or not going for challenge is not in our hands now.. leave it to them.. ..why should we do other's job.?? :D.. and I tell you, even if we dont go on this challenge we are going on 5-6 days rainy driving fun somewhere. won't you love that..?!"
most of the compititions are lost in minds..
we make our compititions tougher than they actually are ..
we compete with ourselves first and then with others... to win !
friends..
now, for the real fun harry is joining the game.. mera judwa hi toh hai ..

at least make us reach top 100. we need 500 more votes.
most of the contestants are mainly from IT industry . It becomes little easier for them to get more votes than us...
..but, our friends are in IT industry so we dont worry much..
thanks to all of you in advance..
harry and me are finalising the party venue- menu and you all be assured it will be the biggest ms meet !! .. :))
