Good morning, guys!i found time to give a bit information to his) did not appear here for 4 days! ) It's s not because there is nothing to write - rather simply can not find time to do it!
Saturday flew immediately with work on 3 projects. Coordinated trenining, had a preparation to my session, which will be tomorrow and the event was for "Markuting training programs". It sounds like not very much, but in practice it takes a lot of time! i'm happy with such things! I love the days when you are busy for the entire 8 hours! Ha, funny thing was that I left office on Saturday at 6 pm! For me it's just an incredible event since working day ends at 5, see me there after just a rarity 5.15))
After work on Saturday awaited party. But before that we were doing a little shopping for the trip to the "Brazilian BBQ", which was transformed in vegeterian picnic in the absence of a grill))
Originaly it was farewell party to Teresa, one of the girls from Germany. When talking with different people, present there, you realize that half of them in general has no idea why this party was organized. Sometimes it's funny, when you are askedDo you know X& It depends on what it means to "know" about very many can say that "I know how he looks like", less -" I know where is he from and a bit more".
What is strange for me in India - the attitude of the local people to their own lives. Maybe this is of course, regulation of the over population , but I slightly believe in it. I ask myself - why run in front of the scooter or go to the oncoming lane on a narrow road at top speed? Unfortunately, such occasions are quite often here) .
Yesterday went to the movie. For those who want to quietly sleep in a warm room and watch mindless film - go to the "Legion". Till now it is - the worst thing I've seen)), pluses -my friends, with whom i went and in honor of Women's Day it was a free ticket for me.
March 8 in India. On Saturday, asked myboss, how 70% of population in our deaprtment(70%) are going to congratulate us, which made him laugh side. But yesterday morning were i was so pleased with rose and ... coupon for free food in the cafeteria ...
Holiday exists, but it is not as significant as in Ukraine. By the way, there is no male day in India...
Today are going to play basketball)) cool))
Incidentally, internet appeared in the house. So you can keep in touch via Skype)
Hugs

morning brings happiness)) have no idea, why exactly, but i woke up in the morning with such a happy feeling) feeling that this day will be excellentm, gratitude to God for this life and unlimited love to people, things, which are around, even Suzlon)) i have this very strong feeling of happiness for more than week continiously and it motivates so much.
yesterday all my projects started to go. at least. it's hard to say in words, when the date of your event is established and you know that's going to happen for sure!
Evening brought tasty prawns and party in our flat. I met a lot of new people, from german interns company. in the beginning of the evening you understand, you know only 3-4 people and in the end you get to know almost everybody)
interesting, how your relations with people grow. you can know somebody for a long time and then one day you can come close friends. actually, living in one flat together also builds up cool relationships. i'm sure if one day i appear in Brazil, Holland, Poland, Germany... i'll have somebody with who to remember funny moments from Cycle society...(or Psycho sosiety, as some people call it)
hugs

Wednesday, 3 March 2010
I like mornings. Due to some very cool reasons. First is that you wake up and see blue sky and sun from the window. and smile comes to your face. somewhere from inside you start to feel that this day is going to be great! Downstairs my baby is waiting for me to make a crazy ride towards Suzlon. It's such a cool feeling to ride a scooter after 3 days being in Goa. Sometimes i have a feeling, that you become like one whole unit with it. So cool. Third point is in Suzlon. That moment when you open outlook in the morning. for me it's always a special moment, like for the child, who is opening a present. You don't know, what's waiting for you inside, but you hope to get letters from yur dear people. and when you see them it makes you feel very happy. They are part of your life, connected with these people, some special moments and feelings. Unfortuatelly, you can't hug people by mail... ))
Today in the drafts I found a post i wrote more then month ago, but didn't publish anywhere. So i decided to give it life here...
Hey, I want to write it in English will practice my writing skill and gather all the thoughts in mind. Interesting, how does it looks like from the point of view of native speaker? May be it sounds too formal or too incorrect? or may be no) it’s interesting. Yesterday, a lot of thoughts were inside the mind. About life, people, just random events. Let’s write and see what will come.
Brazilians. Living in the flat with three Brazilians have some funny moments. one of them send me an article – 'why do I love Brazilians'. Want to share with some comments.
'They are really friendly! I travel alone and it can be hard sometimes when in cultures that are closed and fearful of making new friends'
Totally true – they are the most friendly people I’ve met here in India. Kind, gently and funny. And you always feel – they have big heart inside.
'They are very hygienic – surfaces, buildings and services accessed by the public are cleaned very regularly, and Brazilians have more regular showers than any other culture in the world I’ve encountered'
This one drives me crazy. When you have common shower for you all. Know, they like to think about life, weather, relations… while taking shower. So it’ll last at least 15 minutes) just imagine, you come after that inside, open water and… and you have nothing)) this is not about Brazilians but about our house) water is very limited there. We even had an observation – that the fastest one was Timo, Finland – shower in 5 minutes. And the records man was Cesar, Brasil – almost 1 hour.
'They are proud. Brazilians love Brazil, and they love the state and the city that they are from. As you can tell, this love is spreading and it has infected me!'
True. You know, none of us in the entire flat is so much interested in meeting people from the same nationality. Even when we were in Goa, we met a guy , who goes to the parties in the t-shirt of a football team, just for other Brazilians to recognize him. Can you imagine. And they meet each other as close relatives, which haven’t seen each other for some time.
About nations.
Indians. Depend on society very much. Yesterday had a very interesting talk with my neighbor.
Are you going to have an arranged marriage?
Yes
When
Probably, soon.
Wow! Why arranged…
Know, now the culture of arranged marriages is a bit different. You meet this girl, you get to know her and then get married. To some extend you have no choice, but if you’re living in joint family, It’s better if person understands you and your family.
And if you want to marry a foreigner?
First parents will say no, because of foreigner. If I convince them to meet and if even they like – they will say no because of society, which is monitoring and has very valuable opinion.
So that how it’s here. Writing takes a lot of patience. Really. New thoughts are coming to mind, but the speed of typing is not so fast.
I like to look at the sky, it gives strength. Till it’s above, anything else is not so important. Sometimes I feel, I’m not so strong. But them I come to myself and say, that for my life I’m the only responsible one. it makes it easier. Love – you should spread love around. Know, sometimes I catch myself with bad feelings towards somebody. Why? as soon as I observe it, I ask myself. And understand – it’s lack of self-confidence and it’s the only reason. So working on it. I want to see the example of love, but I feel inside – that I have this love – it’s love of god. It’s always with me.
Interesting, how long this writing will last? If I’m committed, I can write every day. Concern is – don’t want to write double. But my parents don’t understand English unfortunately. So, we’ll see.
Realization of the first project was successful. Not every attendee cam to it, but the content and the way of delivery were awesome. I’m thinking that it’s even better – people, who really want to develop themselves, will find an opportunity in any place. True. Interesting – you should through out your personal factor to the trainer and listen to content. And think, think a lot. I think, I have enough passion for this job. I get a great joy when I share knowledge with people. Especially, when it is my knowledge. I want to learn how to create sense of urgency. Know, work here is a bit tuft, sometimes I feel totally lost. Then I say to myself that everything is going for learning. Thinking about of the power of appreciation. Know, I’d like my boss to tell me that I’m doing smth good. But from the other point of view now I strive to prove it. prove that I worth trust. And I really worth it. I want to develop thinking skill, that’s why I started to write it. may be in some time I’ll read and laugh from it, let’s see.
Subhashree came to me and proposed to give contacts of her friend, who’s working in Mumbai in learning and development. Great opportunity. And know, I felt a bit addicted to Suzlon and afraid of moving to Mumbai. That means, I should do this to break my boundaries and go out. Because it’s to easy to choose the easiest way of life. But what then? Where is the growth? Challenges develop your character. I like two things on this topic – first – there are only two roads – one is a narrow one, second is hard one. the difference is – which one you will choose.
Called to the orphanage. Understand that I should learn hindi. I can’t make other people to learn English. Actually, what disturbed me – was that that woman said – I have horrible English. I don’t think, it’s like this. So I need to speak more clear and also learn Hindi.
One more time thought about the importance of fights in life came to my mind. If you really want to get something, you should fight for it with all your passion. Make this choice every day, even not every day – every particular second. Sometimes you think, so what, it’s easier to wait till somebody will do it for you. And then ask yourself – you’re the only responsible person in your life, how can you wait somebody do smth for you if you don’t do it for yourself. That’s it. And you move ahead.
What do I read? At home I read very occasionally – I spend more time in chatting and sitting in the internet. No, when I really want, I sit on the second floor and read a book. Take a lamp and give all my attention to it. it’s good. Sometimes I wish, I could wake up earlier, but for me it’s impossible, when there is no sun outside. So I decided, I sleep in the morning.
Our room now – in the morning, you open your blanket and don’t want to go anywhere, because it’s so cold outside. Yeah, I’m from Ukraine, I hear it too often. But I don’t like cold weather anywhere. I need +25 all day long. Then I will feel comfortable. Even more, it’ll be also ok. People tell, cold weather prevents from getting old. May be. But I can’t wear a lot of things for the whole day.
Actually I don’t like snow so much. I like to watch it falling and to play snowballs. I don’t like wet shoes, melting snow around you. I like that beauty side of it) yeah, everything has two sides, if it didn’t melt, we would never feel the beauty of the spring air or hot summer wind. True. Everything has it’s seasons. You should believe, that they change. Even we have polar night and polar day. Despite they are 6 months long, they also change.
What is failure? I think, we’re too concentrated on our failures. If we can say that they exist. Let’s look from the another side on it. if you don’t fall, how would you know about growth? Growth is the difference. If you don’t fall, how will you get up? Why do we think, we fail at all? Because somebody will say? Because we’re not confident in ourselves? We can’t do smth. It’s ok. More important, what will you do with this knowledge. You can always regret, you’re not to able to do smth or you can create a list of action steps. It’s up to you. I think it’s a deep phrase. And the person, who proposed it to aiesec posters was also intelligent. May be it came from his mind, may be no. but in the fact it was really challenging. Why it was not successful? Think, because it’s hard to change adult minds starting with this concept. Often somebody else, who is responsible is been searched for. It’s easier to follow. And now the conception of leader and followers lost itself. Leaders are developing leaders. By example, by passion and inner motivation. True leaders.
That was it...
Have some new thoughts in my mind, will share...
To be continued))

Darshana sent a poem. I liked it a lot:
To laugh is to risk appearing a fool.
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
To reach out for another is to risk involvement.
To expose feelings is to risk rejection.
To place your dreams before the crowd is to risk ridicule.
To love is to risk not being loved in return.
To go forward in the face of overwhelming odds is to risk failure.
But risks must be taken
Because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
The person who risks nothing does nothing, has nothing, is nothing.
He may avoid suffering and sorrow,
But he cannot learn, feel, change, grow or love.
Chained by his certitudes, he is a slave.
He has forfeited his freedom.
Only a person who takes risks is free.
To laugh is to risk appearing a fool.
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.

Hi! today i start a new page of my life. it's just a new day when i realize the idea, which was inside the mind for a long time into reality. i strt this blog in English. I have one in russian for a long tima already, and i want to share events, memories and thoughts with those, for who russian is not common. so let's start.
Idea of 'cultural biriryani' came to my mind after some search for a name, which will show differences of XP in India and which will not exist in huge blogspot database)
That's it. i want to fill it in with different things and moments, tasty and spicy. Why not?
First one will be about this weekend... Welcome to Holi in Goa!
If describe all of my weekend in one sentence, it will sound "Why not?" And the subsequent execution of what was requested)
So, we're going to the seaside! Where else to go for Holi and play with water guns. ‘We’ means me, Utkarsh and Martin. Three of us are united together with love to travel and search for adventures with a backpack, eating prawns in any form and cashew nuts in incommensurate quantities.
At this time, tickets are booked on the cheapest sitter bus. well, okay, course 12 o'clock is not very convenient, but with good conversation and movie time passes very quickly.
5 am bus is in the Mopsa (originally it - Mapusa, but the local population it quickly reduced to Mopsa) is filled with enterprising rickshaw and taxi drivers, who vowed to take you anywhere for the ‘reasonable’ price. The last time the guys have made contacts and now we are waiting for a man, who will give us a car for a rent. Our plan is simple - 3-4 far southern beaches - Palolem, Ohm and Paradise. Judging by the names and feedback - the places are simply mesmerizing. Let's check.
Meanwhile going to Calangute, we need to come back and buy return tickets. Despite the fact that Condolim, Calangute and Baga are one of the most famous beaches, they are very poluted. 7 am, the beach is full of vacationers interspersed with full bottles of drinks for the morning and taking empty bottles from yesterday's parties. Brrr ... Full of watching this beauty, going to Anjuna. , This beach is considered as haven for hippies and the like comrades. Probably because of the early morning hippies were not observed, but there was a large % of Russian-speaking population.
Booked tickets back. It’s amusing, because Monday ends Holi and people go home, the price of tickets increased by 2 times. And that's it. We find a budget version back - 3 seats at the end of the passenger compartment)
Hurray! We in Goa! And we are waiting Palolem! At maximum speed on the highway (here it is - 70 km / h we are flying toward adventure) Utkarsh has bad luck - for all his desire to teach me and Martin to understand the metal music, we can not find basic differences when he’s switching songs ...
Palolem. The beach is crowded with people, not as Calangute, but not so far. The main attractions are the rocks in the water and the island near the coast. We put a plan - to investigate signified. Holidays in Goa - it's not very expensive - room for 2-3x will cost from 100 to 500 rupees, depending on amenities and proximity to the sea. Each of the sets of houses has its restaurant, the menu which is replete with sea delicacies.
Throwing things in the room, we run to transparent and warm water ... Oh, what a pleasure to dive and swim, while you can, enjoy the sun and nature. By the way, we're flying - it is about me and Martin, Utkarsh not swim, which is characteristic of a very large % of the population of India.
The next step is to study of the island and rocks. Astonishing wealth of the sea world - shrimp, crabs, fish and the size of a different color slip right under your feet ... imagine a huge field of crabs ... you know, from the creators of "Attack of the Clones" and such films take their ideas ... pockets Utkarsh and Martin are filled in with my collection of shells…
Observation: the prices in restaurants second line in 2 times cheaper than the sea. Why would it?)) Platters of prawns - just real jam ... mmmm ....
According to the stories of those rocks are very good to watch the sunset ... on all cylinders to rush him ... the beauty, the sun is just fabulous walks into the water and finally warms its rays. It starts with the tide, where an additional 15 minutes ago, there was sand, now knee-deep water.
We stop in a restaurant in our complex, with conversation almost did not notice that our table quietly turns into a floating table on the veranda ... is watching the rising water level ... so cool)
Our room – 2xbed, toilet and shower + mosquito net in the form of tents.
It's funny ... While the three of us there is wonderfully estate)
Day 2. Rise up, the sea is waiting for you! Today is Holi. Blissful feeling is to dip in the gentle salt water of the Arabian Sea before breakfast and my male 2 \ 3 appear on the horizon. After breakfast, we obtain its strategic reserves of water cannons and paints. after 5 minutes white t-shirt of guys and my bathing suit were covered with different colors, even the hair could not escape this fate. As soon as I get pictures, to put up. After a simple putting and drawing colors, starts a war with water cannons. With all these we attract the attention of a large % of the population on the beach, which then join our fun. Passing tourists also have water pistols and paint! Super! True color is not washed immediately ... I still have pink in your hair strands.
The day flies to cheer - games and swimming in the sea + the finest shrimp from a restaurant.
Unfortunately at 4p.m. we need to get back to the pug. We drive at full speed - satisfied and happy. Replenish its strategic reserve of cashew nuts in the way! Conversations on the bus until late at night and again "3 idiots" on the screen. We already know this movie by heart ...
Pune, early morning ... somehow even incredibly ... We seek adventure for this Sunday ...
To be continued... )))

Throwing things in the room, we run to transparent and warm water ... Oh, what a pleasure to dive and swim, while you can, enjoy the sun and nature. By the way, we're flying - it is about me and Martin, Utkarsh not swim, which is characteristic of a very large % of the population of India.
The next step is to study of the island and rocks. Astonishing wealth of the sea world - shrimp, crabs, fish and the size of a different color slip right under your feet ... imagine a huge field of crabs ... you know, from the creators of "Attack of the Clones" and such films take their ideas ... pockets Utkarsh and Martin are filled in with my collection of shells…
Observation: the prices in restaurants second line in 2 times cheaper than the sea. Why would it?)) Platters of prawns - just real jam ... mmmm ....
According to the stories of those rocks are very good to watch the sunset ... on all cylinders to rush him ... the beauty, the sun is just fabulous walks into the water and finally warms its rays. It starts with the tide, where an additional 15 minutes ago, there was sand, now knee-deep water.
We stop in a restaurant in our complex, with conversation almost did not notice that our table quietly turns into a floating table on the veranda ... is watching the rising water level ... so cool)
Our room – 2xbed, toilet and shower + mosquito net in the form of tents.
It's funny ... While the three of us there is wonderfully estate)
Day 2. Rise up, the sea is waiting for you! Today is Holi. Blissful feeling is to dip in the gentle salt water of the Arabian Sea before breakfast and my male 2 \ 3 appear on the horizon. After breakfast, we obtain its strategic reserves of water cannons and paints. after 5 minutes white t-shirt of guys and my bathing suit were covered with different colors, even the hair could not escape this fate. As soon as I get pictures, to put up. After a simple putting and drawing colors, starts a war with water cannons. With all these we attract the attention of a large % of the population on the beach, which then join our fun. Passing tourists also have water pistols and paint! Super! True color is not washed immediately ... I still have pink in your hair strands.
The day flies to cheer - games and swimming in the sea + the finest shrimp from a restaurant.
Unfortunately at 4p.m. we need to get back to the pug. We drive at full speed - satisfied and happy. Replenish its strategic reserve of cashew nuts in the way! Conversations on the bus until late at night and again "3 idiots" on the screen. We already know this movie by heart ...
Pune, early morning ... somehow even incredibly ... We seek adventure for this Sunday ...
To be continued... )))
