Saidapur - my professional destination ... Reminding me of Ramgarh ke Sholay...

 Saidapur - my professional destination ... Reminding me of Ramgarh ke Sholay...

It was a fine evening I was relaxing at home remembering my old friends. So called one of them my dear Vasu. To my surprise, he was on a different professional journey making his dreams come true. His voice looked so promising and confident whilst we were discussing. He started a big project near Raichur and invited me casually. It was December - chilling weather and I also promised him, though it was a false promise I made, because I could not make it. We again interacted in new year and same story continued. Finally some where in February end, I could make it. 

The place was totally new to me and I started my journey. The train started in the midnight from Pune. Since it was a casual trip to meet a friend, was still collecting every moment as I usually do. The moment I got down at station, I almost had the feeling the way Bachchan and Dharmendra had when they arrive at Ramgadh. I am attaching the photographs of the station which I like the most. I dont know why, but it attracted me a lot.  But instead of horses, a clean neat Creta with a smiling Aamer Raza was waiting for me. In couple of moments I reached my friends piace, it is a super house with all amenities inside. Soon I freshened up and went to see the dreamland of my friend Vasu - Adaarsh Pharma. I was amazed and zapped to see the plans of vasu taking a shape and converting to such a beautiful creation ... Though I always had a belief that he can make wonders, but its like rather than listening to stories, you are witnessing with your eyes.  My respect towards him got multiplied.  There were other soldiers in a army who were on the front and they are all a set of like minded guys. Soon the Ramgarh feeling turned to "Jahan chaar yaar mil jaayen, wahi raat Gulzaar" ... Though it was without the "bottle" but a heart full of emotions, happiness and excitement. 

Finishing my two day journey I was gifted with an offer to be part of the dream project. It was like "Yaarana" " Dostana"  feeling, OR Sudama returning with loads of happiness and an offer to play with the mates in Gokul. I was visualising all those references and was confused which one to actually relate.  The emotional bond won the war and I decided to take the opportunity.  I had the same feeling when other friend Devanand Pare offerred me an attractive role in Pune. So was again part of "Dharm Sankat" ..but to my surprise a friend accepted another friends emotions and respected the decision. 

Finally I am at the dream destination leaving family back in Pune and have been enjoying the peaceful village life. No traffic jams, no horns, no big drives and its just a pleasant life. Morning we all wake up and have a long walk in lush green farms around, clean roads with no botheration and a real free pure oxygen.  Being little lazy to get up, we some times OR most of the times get that real Vitamin D from the Sun.

Attaching photos of the station which is looking so beautiful in the hot summer, imagine the scene in monsoon. I love this place. 

On the way to office a small house offers a fresh hot breakfast and the mouth watering items are Puri, Dosa, Idly, Ugraani ( Sushila) with Mirchi bhaji and Mazagi ( buttermilk with tadka). We are a gang of 6 to 8 guys and as soon as we arrive the family is so happy and they serve us as if we are there guests or son in laws...pan to plate service with great taste and more importantly with smile...(I miss this in Pune).  While walking enroute beautiful flower hawkers make your day even pleasant. Another snack point is hot idlis and vada made on live fire ( chulha) - refer photos..  wat a taste.. aaha !!

A breakfast is not complete without Tea and a smiling young boy welcomes you to make yiur day even tastier...the options are Tea, Coffe, Boost, Horlicks, Badaam Milk and a very special green tea...It contains black tea with honey, lemon, mint, basil seeds (sabja) .. aaha..it never stops here...some times we have a lemon juice again with sugar, basil seeds, soda and jeera masala....the prices are Rs.20 for breakfast, 5 to 10 for coffee and allied drinks...and just Rs.10 for nimbu paani...filled stomachs then bouncing on bikes reach to our dreamland to burn all those calories. Work work and only work with some joke cracking sessions followed by green tea, food we come to the day end. Our squad again raids the market to buy vegetables and allied items and even less than Rs.100 your bag is full of greens, reds, oranges, whites....who eventually gets a good bath, then sacrificed for a yumny sumptuous food.  Annapurna blessed Chef Jayant makes our nights even happier, tastier and a happy day ends...refer pictures. 

Happy and smiling faces around makes you more happy. Market is full of all varieties, all types (clothes, grocery, electrical, general, medical, fruits and what not)...you also get hot Burgers, Vada Paav, Finger chips, fresh icecream and cakes....what all you need more !! 

Cheap and neat houses to stay and friendly owners is the plus. 

Its not only the food but overall an attractive and challenging professional life with good support and encouragement from the management.. we are all heading towards making a big thing and wait for the final pictures in due course.  

On weekends you have lot many places to explore.  Raichur, Mantralayam, Kurvaapur, Narayanpet (for sarees) ....

The place is an upcoming Pharma hub in KIADB Kadechur, Karnataka where lot many new players are coming and soon it will be a busiest industrial hub.  A big avenue for businesses, job opportunities and many other.  Well connected by train and also there are two big railway units - one making tracks and other Bogie  making. 

कभी आ जाओ चार दिन !! बस इंतझार करो कुछ दिन...

सपना पुरा होगा और हम थोडा वक्त संभाले हुए रहेंगे...
