New Love

Just realized that I'm in love with Shreya Ghosal's voice :)

Listening some sweet songs ..even in office

..suggest some if you know !!!

Conclusion of the Day !!!

I would write in detail some time later but this is what was concluded from the discussion I had with my friends today : 

1) People fall in love more then once but only after they complete "Moving on" phase i.e the same mistake is "Committed" twice or more :P

2) Love just happens and you can't do anything about it, surprisingly most of us can't figure out when and how it happened

P.S : I strongly disagree  to the point 2 and would present my view on it in a separate post, please drop your thoughts about the same !!!

Birthday Blog !!!

Yup yup, you guessed it right, today is my Happy Birthday and officially I am 18 now :P , unofficially still 12 :)

I thought it would be just another day since I know just handful of 5-10 individuals in Hyderabad and none of them remembers my Birthday; but when one keeps his expectations low, everything that comes in the way is cherished and same has happened with me. Had i thought that I don't have anyone who would wish me by person, I would have get sad but on the other hand I expected just 2-3 calls hence every call I am getting is making me happier and even though I don't have Birthday celebration plans, I still feel very comfortable and not sad at all.

The benefits of living away from the home and friends is that they try everything to make your day special and expresses lots of love and care which always gives a good feeling, and everyone exactly did that :)

I did remove my Birthday from orkut just to make sure that everyone is not compelled to wish me and also that I don't have to treat 100's of people :P but still enough people surprised me among them were my school friends :)

The sad part is I still had to come to office and have to stay here as long as I am supposed to even though I'm just busy writing blogs. I have no plans after my office, may be just a normal dinner and more conversations with the friends who would have woke up late only to find that 21st January is about to end !!!

Thanks in advance for your wishes !!!

P.S : I am trying to update my birthday on orkut and now it is not co-operating !!!

Strange Year - 2008

After hearing on numerous TV Channels in past one week, I am compelled to start this blog of mine with this line... " Today is the last day of the year 2008" ..... the year which was a strange in its own sense, I discovered and re discovered myself time and again. There is a lot that has happened in this one year and I am sure each one of us has the same thoughts about it, one more interesting that's common between most of us is the pace with which this year passed :P

Anyways, let me share good part of the year, It all started on 8th Jan, when I got my first job, after an interview where i asked more questions to interviewers than they asked me. There is this strange thing about interviews, you can never know where you went wrong in an interview and mostly the one you think you have screwed a bit would be the successful one.

The next and final semester @ IIT went by faster then any other semester, nights were shorter then ever, even the chilly winter of Delhi couldn't restrict us to go for a 2 KM walk at 3 in the morning, Room parties were a more frequent events and each party had an emotional ending. The last time we walked from college to hostel was the longest it had ever been in past 4 years.... and I should stop it now or else the post would be renamed to "Farewell to my college life" !!!

What happened next was not unexpected but it was still strange, I landed up in Hyderabad starting a new phase of my life where I would be earning, supposedly more independent then ever, but it didn't turn out to be that way and the only reason is being alone in a crowdy place of lonely people !!!

Surprisingly, transition from college to work not so difficult for me which is the case with most of the graduates, may be because I never tried to adjust with the 'system' or tried to look for the loop holes in the 'system', I am always happy working with my strengths..anyways that doesn't matter..what matters is I am doing good and happy to buildup on my confidence.

Last couple of months have been entirely dedicated to the "Corporate world" and the most used phrase here is " that's how it goes" and no one gives a shit about it !!! One more good news is; in spite of all the Recession in US, Terrorist Attacks in Mumbai and Laying off across the world, I got my first increment even though it is a negligible one, I was also given a minimum bonus for my "satisfactory" work !!

On an whole , 2008 was a strange but eventful year with not much of surprises, lots of energy, experience and emotions !!

Carrying the same Enthusiasm, Excitement and Expectations to 2009 !!! :)

Wish you all a very happy and a prosperous new year, May god bless all of us and lets hope that we get to see less number of terrorists attacks and lot less companies filing for Bankruptcy !!

Last but not the least, I picked up blogging in 2008 and hoping to reach new heights on web world in 2009 !!!

Cheers :)

P.S : It might not be my last blog of the year !!!

Merry Christmas :)

First and foremost a very very sorry to all the fellow readers of my blog, not because I didn't write any blog in past two months, but because they didn't get a chance to write an expert comment on my blog :D

Now the question is why didn't I write any blog in past two months !! The answer is the very same reason that I wrote blogs two months back, I hope you might have read it somewhere on my blog that i wrote my blogs from my office desk and since from past two months i was heavily loaded with the work, i never got time to pass through a proxy server and use "Blogspot.com" and what ever time I got, I tried to make my blog look different.

Anyways, now since I am back (hopefully), i would write about the zillions of topics that I thought. Today is "Christmas" and I am happy as well as sad, happy because I have time to write a blog from my office desk and sad because I am in Office and don't have a holiday :-(

And it has happened once again, I can't think of what to write even though there are so many thoughts running through my mind simultaneously...Mumbai Blasts, India beating Australia and England, Time up for dada and jumbo, Billi 2008 and so many things...

Let me consolidate a bit and will get back to the blog in next couple of hours !!!

Dasvidaniya !!!

Updates !!!

Hey folks,

I am back from my 9 days of holidays and it doesn't feel nice to back coz i would have to wake up on time n go to office and work hard there like i am doing now :P

Anyways this is what happening in last 10 days :-

1) A tiring journey along with an excitement to be home, ate and slept a lot but it hardly made any difference to my health. Had a relaxing week after quite a bit of time.

2) Feels nice that I am earning, feels much better when others say it :D and feels best that I can buy things for my parents and cousins and don't need to give a second thought about it :)

3) Missed blogging, specially my habit of reading blogs whenever i used to get time. One good news was that my black berry services were working on roaming, so i could chat and do some surfing if I am getting bored.

4) Made friendship with one of the cutest girl i ever saw, would upload her pic very soon ;) she was indeed cute, just like me :D

5) Used to check out my blog once in a day to find out if any one has dropped any comment wishing to be a co-author of my other blog.

Things I need to do in next one week :-

1- Meeting two of my school friends over the week end after 2-3 years, so lots of things to talk about then.

2- Some blogs are still pending :( , need to sort out the blog rolled list of my blog , need to improve the back ground and design of both the blogs, at the same time keep posting :D

3- Study as much as I can, coz I need to improve with my time management for CAT-08 and at the same time, need to work harder at office for the renewal season.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thats all for now, will try to be more frequent from now on !!

Request : Please do check out the other blog and leave your comments, good or bad !!

PS : I recently discovered that I have a habit of leaving exclamation marks at the end of each line !!! :P

Holidays :)

This is my second post from my one n only electronic gadget, my dear black berry which happens to be my very good friend coz it keeps me connected with every1 n everywhere !! The reason I have to post via this is coz I have been kept very busy all this while, lots of work n lots of tiredness and inspite of numerous attempts I cudnt complete my previous posts, and now finally I am writing,sitting at secndrabad station with my train to home in just abount an hour :)

So for the next one week, precisely till 9th of sept I would be away from the blog world and let's hope that I would catch up, once I come back from home !!!

Sorry to all the handful readers of my blog, I ws very busy with my office work and studies !! Will try to be more frequent with my interesting posts :D

One more news, I have not yet started with my fiction blog coz I couldn't personalize the theme n looks of the blog (I understood quite a bit of html n xtml) would do that after I spent some time for it. For the mean while I have started another blog 'the-x-effect' which is about the witty, inspirational, humours and self constructed one liners !! I would try to keep it that way but still I would be very happy to share it with other bloggers, who would add up their spicy n natural thoughts !! So all those who wanna be part of it in every sense, please leave a comment, I would give you the access or whatever it is known as.

P.S : leave comments good or bad coz it helps me to improve and also keeps me going !!

P.S 2 : black berry services doesn't work while roaming :( !!!

The Day that Wasn't -- 29th July !!!!

I had been thinking of writing about my "yesterday" from last 1 n half hour but as always, didn't know where to start from ...!!

Let me give another try... couple of things to start with , Firstly Its true that Blogging is an "Addiction" and I agree with that person who said this, I am saying this because its not even 12 hours when i wrote my previous blog and now sitting in my office I'm writing one more, don't know why but it really feels good !!!! Secondly,the tittle of the post is inspired from the show hosted by Cyrus Broacha which gets aired every sunday @ 10:30 in the morning on CNN IBN, the real name being the week that wasn't !!!

((This tittle might be repeated many a times in the future ))

Anyways,My day started with least enthusiasm, its been raining in hyd from last 3-4 days n since i love the rain, i didn't really feel like going to work but since college life is not as same as so called " Professional life", i got ready and reached office only to find out that my team leader or rather mentor is not present in the office and even though i could have worked on something, I just kept reading documents which were far more boring. You know this was one of those days when sitting idle was more tiring then working, so i got bored whole day and kept thinking about something which made me more sad and more depressed.In the mean while i read hell lot of blogs and added some nice ones to my "Blog List". By the time i got free from office, i was too tired and not in the greatest of moods to do anything substantial, so just sat in an auto and reached a place where i could walk to my house. Now a nice thing happened, there was this "bhutte" waala where i got down, so I asked him if he could get me one, so after selecting one of my choice he roasted that up by the same old traditional way, using coal and all. I handed him a 10 ruppee note and in return he gave me 9 Rs 50 Paise, knowing that the Butta cost 5 Rs each, so I just realized that he misplaced a 5 Rs coin instead of a 50 Paise coin,and then I returned him 4 Rs 50 Paise and told him to be careful for the next time !!! The incidence helped me to over come my sadness and felt a positive energy of doing something good !! I reached home, tried to study but couldnt, read news paper, and all that while I was thinking, why am i working in a field that doesn't interests me up, I know this is not the thing I want to do for long but somehow everyone asks me to be patient and continue with it till I get another opportunity. God knows when would that happen..!!!!

With not in a mood to do anything and not really feeling sleepy, I switched over to my best friend, "Internet and chatting" ; and came across this blog,I didn't find it interesting but was curious enough to ask the blogger about some interesting books which could help me in improving my english. So i switched over to gtalk in the hope that I might get some assistance or some positive response, and thank fully I got that, felt nice chatting with my first ever blog friend and some how my mood changed and I wrote this post for my blog which I think is the best one till now. Best coz its from my heart and really loved writing this one. By the time I was done with this post, i was almost asleep, so just forwarded the link to couple of friends and went to bed !!!

The day that wasn't started with a very low on energy, ended in a much needed positive way with a belief in myself that I am better ,as a person, as a friend & as a professional and there is no dead end, I just need to make my way through....!!!!

Cheers to life !!!!!!

Random Blog !!! --- I

"Random Blog I" , because i am sure at some point of time I would write some more blogs like this.I was thinking of renaming it to "how stupid people can get -Part I" but then I didn't,don't know why may be coz I dont know the person I am about to write about.

So while writing another blog which i would post by evening I went for my lunch break to the Mcdonalds in our cafeteria (yeah yeah !!! we have mcdonals in our office's cafeteria) and there was this guy standing in front of me in the queue, he looked fairly educated,aged around 24,single and employed in some other company,he was accompanied by some "colleague" (yeah !!!! she was a gal) and here goes the conversation between him and mcdonald guy !!!

Mr X : Give me a Mcveggie,A medium Coke,A medium french fries and some potato xyz (I cudnt hear dat xyz)

McD Guy : Sir,would you like to go for the combo meal ? you can save 13/16 Rs ??

Mr X: What will this combo meal have?

McD Guy : Mcveggie Burgey,Medium Coke and A medium french fries !!

Mr X : So it wont have the potato xyz ??

McD Guy : No,it wont be there in the meal but you can take it separately,total will cost 99 Rs !! (Meal + Potato xyz)

Mr X (In an upsetting voice just like when a kid is being told for some chocolate): No, i want that potato xyz also, give me all these separately,the way i ordered !!!

(I was looking @ Mr X and smiling,Mr X could see me smiling @ him,I try not to make Mr X look stupid,but I can't control God Please help me !!!!)

McD Guy : Ok,Sir. Here is your order, Total of 112 Rs.

McD Guy : Sir,3 mins waiting for french fries.(fills up the coke n gets burger for Mr X,reaches for the try and put the burger over it)

Mr X : Give me the coke along with french fries,not now.

(Mr X's expressions were like,if u give me the coke now it won't be chilled by the time i get french fries)

McD Guy : Ok Sir (Takes the coke back,puts near the HOT pizza mcpuff's machine)

(Mr X goes to his seat to sit with his colleague, he starts with the burger while his colleague with potato xyz,I kept smiling so was the McD guy thinking about what was going through Mr X's mind)
(Mr X comes back,takes his not so chilled coke n french fries,goes back to his seat; little amused about why was i smiling)

(I go to another seat,have my burger thinking I'l surely write a blog about this !!)

P.S - 1 : I have no hard feelings for Mr X
P.S - 2 : The Colleague was a Gulti Gal
P.S - 3 : I am writing all this while sitting in my office !!! :-) and another blog too !!!

Note : Being educated in not a Sufficient condition for a person to have common sense !!!

Last Night !!!

Wow, I seriously can't believe I am writing the blog with this tittle :D though i am sure it would be short of any "Explicit Content" !!!

For all those who expect this particular blog to be full of "ting tong" stuff (U know what i mean ;-) ), I would like to make it clear that neither did i make out with some one nor I spent last night at pub/disc/bar or else dream about some one;but ya something interesting happened, i had mood swings !!!

I came back from my office @ my regular time around 7:00 PM or so,bit tired after doing nothing much in office,had downloaded a movie couple of days back so just sat down and started with the movie "Jaane tu... yaa Jaane Na "..Since I am big fan of the work Aamir Khan does and the way he implement his ideas,I expected the movie to be fairly good. He was neither in the movie nor he was a director but this time he was a producer launching his nephew Imran Khan,but i believe it was his idea only.So the movie started with a video or rather a documentary,similar idea that he had implemented in TZP (it was in the end though) and the movie went on for 2 hrs 33 mins and i skipped my dinner :D
Now,i'm not going to narrate the story but would just add my perspective and the way i saw it.I liked the first half more the second half coz it had more lively characters with MEAOW's amazing dialogues "Fattu tu,Teri Maa,Tera Baap fattu,Tera poora khandaan and blah blah blah .....", that was awesome coz thats rare in bollywood's films.Anyways, there is one more reason why I liked the first half, the friendship between the two,the kind of chemistry they had and some how i felt I am somewhat like Ratss,non violent,good friend to have along side a gal ;-) ;little caring etc etc and even if i am not perfectly that way, i felt like being a best friend of some one like "Aditi" (Cute lil studpid daring gal) and ya "Just a friend" nothing more :D
The ending was similar to any bollywood masala movie,nothing special about it!!!!

It was around 10:30 or so by the time movie got over and was feeling very hungry,but there was nothing to eat @ my place and not even a single shop open, i had nothing to do except to surf net and read something interesting.So while surfing I came across one blog by Kanika Khurana (sorry i lost the link n couldn't find it again),she did her graduation/engg from somewhere in US,worked for sometime,did her MBA from stanford landed up into Google and still working there.Modelling was her passion and to be a Miss India International or something like that was her dream,she didn't win that competition but was able to come very near to her dream(won Miss Congeniality,Miss Best eyes etc). She is doing modelling as well as working with google.

After reading the blog,there was this question in my mind of "how much a person can achieve", "where does the inspiration comes from & etc etc" and after some thinking i realized, there is so much a person can achieve given the opportunities and resources/talent. What one needs is to put in efforts and keep working hard.After reading the blog I felt like I am so small in this world,with hardly 500 people knowing me and I still feel that I have achieved more then my parents and friends expect from me. There is so much I want to do in my life,I want to be at a position where everyone can recognize me and everyone who would have known me once can be proud of me. "Believe in youself" is the key, My parents expect me to have a safe future coz they care for me and they want me to be happy, its for me to manage my life in a way that they can be happy seeing me relaxed and comfortable with life and at the same time I need to keep working on my aspirations.

I can take any one of the path, either I can achieve what my parents and friends expect from me and be satisfied or I can work hard for my own "Expectations" which are much higher then the former one. The decision is entirely mine and I think I always choose the later option, I take my life as a challenge and do what ever it takes to come out winning !!!!

"Expectations" is a word that really confuse me at times, is it good to expect more from myself or is it good to be satisfied with what others expect from you !!!!

"Life is Endless Journey on a Pyramid where going up is always difficult and no matter how high you are,there is some one higher then you,its for us to either look Up to a few people and think that you are on the Foot of the Pyramid or look Down to far more people and think that you are on the Top"

18th July 2008

Let me start with my fresh memories i.e about today, it 6:30 in the evening and I am still in the office, i am supposed to leave by now but m writing this blog, it just shows how much i am in love with this blog of mine :-)
After all i am trying to built this one from last 3-4 hours..searching google for the latest templates...trying to understand some html coding though i didnt understand a word of it.Also trying to make this pic which is there at the top of this page with what ever resources I had (M S Paint only)...

Now the amazing thing is I did all this while sitting in the office while my team leader is sitting right behind my back.Its been a month since I joined this company,I am still into my training period and M busy reading other blogs and trying to make one of my own, how Strange is that :D

ooopss i forgot that I was supposed to write about "the day", the boss is not here today, he is on n off to mumbai and since these are the most relaxing days of the year with no projects n much of internal work, everyone is doing time pass bole to coffee break n gossiping.Everyone was busy with this stupid questionare where there were like 100 odd companys' logos and they were searching google to find which one belongs to which company. I really don't know why they were wasting time on that !!!!! Besides usual lunch break I was out of office for couple of times doing nothing,just coz i was bored of sitting in front of computer...

I am suppose to learn a lot in this "training period" but with such a casual environment around me,I don't know why but i'm not utilizing my time efficiently...I know the problem is mine and I have to come over it but just not excited about this work....dont know why !!!!!!

One line that I read today "The best things in life come to you when you stop looking for them"

Let me know your point of view on this !!!!!

Stay happy and Keep smiling

Enjoy and Have fun !!!!
