Wordless Wednesday

Hey all,
Monsoon has hit Bengaluru and the weather is just awesome nowadays. It rains every evening and sometimes in the day too. There have been days when, we didn't even get to see the sun as the dark clouds covered the sky of Bengaluru. 

Rain is the primary and i believe,probably, the only thing i love about Bengaluru. Being a Delhi-wala, who doesn't get much of rains even in monsoon season, i have always been fond of rains. I used to out of the house and enjoy the rain. I still love to get drenched, though now, i'm surrounded by people who don't like it. Here, none of my friends like to go out in rain. They try not to get wet. I guess that's because here, it rains quite often. But, i still feel the same what a frog would feel in rain.

Well, i can never have enough of rain *Crossed Fingers*.

Road Outside My Place

My Landload's Grandson. He's not allowed to out in rain  :)
Once again, thank you all for being here.

2009

Hey All,

The date is changing and this year, date change also bring a new year also a new decade......so it's the best time to wish all of loved one's to have a great decade. This has been really dynamic or rather eventful year for me and that's what i'm planning to do with this post. Rather than reviewing the year, i'll just put the story of the year. It has been a great blogging year, especially the last quarter. For that, i'm thankful to all of you. Love you all.

31'st December 2008


Yea, i remember that day or the night to be specific. Just some history first, my last job was as a tech support for Bank of America. So last year, i was on job. Yea, only 3 people were there working rather taking call and out of those 3, i was the only one on call at the stroke of the new year. We did had other people on floor but they were there to celebrate. Any way, yes i was on call with a man on other side. He called in with an issue but he seemed busy. I asked about it. So he told, there was some football match on TV and he didn't wanted to miss it. So i told him to go watch the match and i'll work on his computer and will let him know when it's done. I also greeted the guy Happy 2009 at the end. This was one of those unusual 00:00 of any 1st January's.

January 2009


January was good. Because it was "come back to work" month after the holiday season, like every year, so we were expecting a lot of calls with issues. January was the best month of my last job cause based on that performance i was awarded the best employee of the month and above all got the prize money. [Happy]. Best thing, i won the SPOT AWARD by EDS(now, HP) in only my third month of job. Other than that, i came close to my colleagues on floor with whom i'm still a friend's with and call regularly. See, i'm a good friend and i do stay for long.

Feburary 2009
 
I received the cash, so it was all party party with two of my close friends celebrating their Birthday's. There isn't anything other i remember specifically. Whatever, it wasn't even the longest of the months.

March 2009


I started feeling wasted at the new job. Being Computer Science Graduate, a tech support was never my dream job. I also felt of it as an intermediate phase, so that i can learn the industry till the time i get something substantial. I lost fun of working. So i started looking for new jobs.

April 2009


I saw the first window to move to a new city and new world. I got an offer from the another city, known as the "IT Hub of India", Bengaluru (Banglore, earlier). I came down to south India for the first time and also it was my first experience of flying. Though, it wasn't that good.....cause i threw up in while landing and as far as i could see in the plane, i was the only person. So it felt very embarrassing cause there were children and old people who didn't do the same. Anyways, the interview went good and i was offered the job. So, then it was my decision to when to leave the last job and to join the new one. Sat with parents and took decision to move to the new city.

May 2009

Resigned from the last job. Moved to the new city, away from family and friends. Joined the company on 6th of May. Felt very reluctant to work and missed family and friends a lot in the first week or so. Took on my first assignment at the new job and started working slowly.

June 2009

Moved out of my cousin's place and moved in with one of my schoolmate. Now, i felt the real independence when i had to buy grocery, vegi's, laundry etc. Also completed my first assignment in the same month, it took almost 2 months.


July 2009

Well don't remember much about this month other than a couple of treats we all office guys got from one person of the office who was getting married the coming month. Those were nice events to get in touch with the office people and team members.

Augest 2009

Celebrated first Raksha Bandhan away from home. It started the phase where i spent all the major festivals alone. Also, the same month sees Independence day of India. Also bought my first Kurta which i never worn before that day. One of my another schoolmate moved in with us. Now we were 3 and living in that place was more fun.

September 2009

Came back to blogging more seriously this time. Spent much time to attract to get more and more readers and making friends in blogging community which now i think i succeeded. The third guy moved out and ultimately which let to the last we two to split. So i started looking for a new place which i did find on the 20th Sep.



October 2009


For starters, i moved out from friends place and moved in to the new place with a new roomie. The month ended with me spending my first Birthday away from family. Good thing, it was the first one where i celebrated it at the stroke of midnight when i friends asked me to stay with them for the night and i cut cake at 00:00 AM. My first in my short life.....not that short that....officially i was 23 that day.

November 2009

November was a bad month talking about the work specifically. Don't have much to talk about it.

December 2009


First week, i had my first beach trip. Also got my first blog award from June Zach. The month was quite good. Got in touch with some old friends. The best part....came close to many blogger friends.


So friends this was my year 2009. Though you may find it boring but it is my life and it can be boring.

Thanks for coming by and always remember...i love you all.


Ending with we all \,,/

On Christmas Eve

Hey All,


Merry no the Merriest Christmas to you all. As you all know, India is a secular country and we welcome all kind of different religion. That's why whatever festival or occasion it is, it is celebrated here. Also, as you know, I live in Bengaluru or Banglore(know better as). Bengaluru is a Metropolitan city and also called the technology hub of India as most of the world's biggest companies have their India bases here. Also once Obama used the phrase that he wants the job in US to not be Banglored which now means outsourced now. I'm not praising but wanted to tell that all different kinds of people live in this part of the world. You find all religions and respective religious festivals are celebrated.

I'm not a Christan and sadly i don't even have a Christan friend and i'm not talking about you all blogger friends. I know you people are all my friends....... :)

I live alone in the city. There are like 3-4 people i know here with whom i can go out.......but out of those 4, three flew home cause of the vacation and the only one left has examz onn. So, i can't really go out, unless i want to go alone. Though i have a planned a shopping spree for Christmas ,for me not for others.


Yea, i stayed home on Christmas eve. People say loners do that only but in my defense, i don't have friends here second i saw the match between India and Sri Lanka which India Won.

Anyways, enough of sob sob......you all enjoy your Christmas and pray i can too.......


Merry Christmas ....... hoo hoo hoooooooooo

This Diwali

Hi everyone,


If I haven’t visited you in last two days and plz excuse me cause, I was busy with Diwali and the celebrations.


This diwali was good cause I saw, for the first time in my life, a live cricket match from the stadium. Bad thing about this diwali, I wasn’t with my friends and family. But anyways, left me tell you about the good part, also I’ll post the bad part also.



The feeling of watching a match live from a stadium is heavenly. Atleast, I felt that way in my first experience. The capacity of the stadium was more than 35,000 and yes, it was jam packed because two of the best teams in the league where lined up to play. We were all screaming and shouting for the players. We were cheering each and everything thing happening on the ground.


It was one of the captain’s(Anil Kumble) birthday. We all stood up and sang the birthday song for him. The captain ANIL KUMBLE is the legend in the cricket history. I know most of you don’t know him. But come to India and tell anybody that you love him. You’ll get a especial treatment.

Back to the stadium. My home team won the toss and batted. The support for both the team was so much that you can’t tell; by the noise we were making that, which one has more support.


Posting some pics. More will come in coming days.

Happy Diwali

Hey everybody, its Diwali today. One of India's most celebrated festivals. The day has different significance for different religions in India. Everybody and every religion India celebrates Diwali for different reasons. What are the reasons? you must be thinking about that.........and want me to explain............but no i won't do that..........cause i have somebody really especial who talk the talk about Diwali on behalf of me.

Presenting Mr. Barack Obama . In case, you don't know him. He is president of America or United States of America and also recently won the Nobel prize for peace. No more please listen to him.




My plans for Diwali

Well, since i'm born, 1987, today is the first Diwali i'm not celebrating with family. I'm away from my family and friends. Well, i actually i have some friends here also but nonetheless, i'm not so glad to not make to my home city for the festival.

I've bought tickets to a amazing match between Delhi DareDevils V/S Banglore Royal Chalangers and another one between Cape Cobra's and Victorian BushRangers. I'm expecting it to be a great match and my favorite team is playing The Delhi DareDevils. They represent my home town team.

Then what other things we do, Hindu's, on Diwali. Its a festivals of getting everyone together for me other than the real significance. When i used to be at home, i would go out and give sweets(mithai) to all my neighbour's and by all i mean all, atleast 15-20 of them. Then, we also give out sweets to all the relatives me can reach and obviously we aren't the only one doing this, whole of India does this. That's why these days there's a lots of sweetness in the air.

We also light up Diya's,"lamps" you may call them. This is to kill the darkness in the night signifiying removing darkness acorss the world. We also bust crackers, a lot of crackers. But this year, i'm not buying crackers because i believe there will be a lot of fireworks in the Stadium during the matches.

I know not many of my readers are from India, but still i would like to tell, if you people know any Indian's around, go celebrate this festival with them because you'll enjoy it too. For foodie's, go to Indian resturants to find exclusive Diwali sweets.
DO POST whatever you did for Diwali. I'll also post the pics from the match.
