INVICTUS....

Yeasterday I saw a beautiful movie.
INVICTUS...
now Invictus is also a poem William Henely and the meaning of the poem is shown very beautifully in the movie.
The movie itself is based on true story staged in SOUTH AFRICA during the presidential tenure of Nelson Mandela. It shows how Nelson Mandela used his team to set an example for his people and to unite his country. A great movie to watch. For me its somehow inspiring, specially the last two lines of poem which goes in the background.

"I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul."

I am pasting the poem under for u all to read so may be any one of you could also find it good for them...

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

William Ernest Henley

Visit to HCL, Malanjkhand

On 20/6/2012 I visited one of the Asia's biggest Copper Mines in Malanjkhand, Balaghat. It is situated in MP and has border to Chattisgarh. To reach the site I traveled in Scorpio CG 04 HB 8999 which i hired as taxi. Took Scorpio to tackle the great Roads to Malanjkhand and the monsoon rains.  The MCP (Malanjkhand Copper Project) was initiated in 70's and has now grown to one of the biggest in Asia. I had two objectives while visiting the site one was to participate in the Tender issued by HCL for OTR Tyres and other was to inspect APOLLO tyres which we had supplied to one customer IVRCL who is working for HCL in the project. The mine itself is in two phase, work in one phase is done by HCL itself and in one phase two other contractors works IVRCL and RK Transport. The Copper ore excavated is of one the highest quality in India and the mine is yet to be explored full so I guess it would go on working till next50-70 years more and thus providing essential ...

Trip to Lonavala-Jan'14

Living in Pune gives you an advantage to visits various nearby places & to indulge with nature. Several famous vacation destination are with 100 km range that you can go different places each weekend. For me Travelling to various interior areas of India being one of my occupational responsibility I prefer to spend quite weekends at my room or at a friends place doing nothing or anything, rather travelling to these places. But sometimes I do get freinds from other cities to visit these nearby places for weekend and I along with them visit them. Similarly I visited Lonavala in Jan'14 with couple of friends. LONAVALA is small hill station which finds its place at the middle of Mumbai-Pune Express Highway, It is kind of equidistant from Navi Mumbai (Khargahr) & Pune. Myself living in Pimpri Chinchwad which is towards nearer to Lonavala so its only 1.5 hrs drive to this place. Basically the best time to visit Lonaval;a is after August (during & after monsoon season). ...
