I Write

There's one question, i have been asked many a times, by different or same people. The last time i remember THE question being thrown at me was about a couple of months back while attending a friends engagement.

Everybody was dancing on the floor and greeting the happy couple. People were taking rounds to dance with and along the couple of the day on groovy Bollywood dance numbers. Then, comes a friend, taking my hand and asking me to dance and show the joy. Me, as always, said no to it. When asked, i told her, "Dancing is not my thing". "Its not dancing, we are showing how good we are feeling on this joyous occasion. Aren't you happy?", she said. "I'm. Very much. But, still, i don't dance", i replied. And then came THE question, "How do you show happiness then?".

The question wasn't easy for me. I held myself and didn't answer the question. Even though, i dodged the question for that instance but it did make me realize that what is it that i do when I'm happy?Well, there are lots of people who dance or sing or shout or does many a things. And i don't do any of these things.

I, when happy, enjoys the moment by just letting the feeling seep, seep really deep into me. I exactly like they show in movies, when the protagonist scores the winning goal/run, which makes his/her team champion, and everything just goes silent, slow and stunned. I also do a few other things. One of them i talking. Yea, but may not only about the happiness. I just like to accompanied when happy, which is totally opposite to when i feel sad and loved being left alone and watch FRIENDS. Yea, FRIENDS is my stress/tension buster but we aren't going down that road today.

Another things i do, and which i used to a lot often earlier and have not being doing for quite sometime now, is writing or blogging which ever you people like to call me better at.

I would really miss that one and half year when i was frequent with blogging and had a big, really big blogging family. I have lost most of them but i think these are the inevitable changes that many great people and legends have talked and wrote about.

I won't disobey the legends but here's to, again, for a full on comeback soon.

Being With Mr. Chandler Bing

Well as always, i was watching one of Friends episode, which i always do to relax and take my mind off the world and my life. One thing which hit me while watching FRIENDS this time and also which i never ever thought of was how tough would it be to be in Monica Gellar-Bing shoes.

Living a life time with a funny guy. Funny guy, who isn't good with emotions. The one who replaces all of his emotions with a joke. Living with the fear that the funny guy may never grow up. Funny is good but for lifetime, i mean there are times one had to be tough. No wonder, Chandler wasn't Ross and Rachel's first choice to give their baby to after they die.

I know loving the guy helps but it needed a women like Monica who can bring all this together. It's not that i feel sad for Chandler, he's a great man and my favorite of the group but women are more into mature guys. Man, to say is correctly. Chandler Bing, man, you were lucky to get Monica as your life partner.

I wanted to end this post with something big or good to say, but i think, i'll be selfish again and be optimistic about another Monica around somewhere in the world.

Two Brave Girls

I’m a feminist and admired many women for what they did for the people, may it be the nation or their own family. However, there have been very few instances where I have seen a woman doing something better than a man. I’m not comparing or complaining, however, I do think that there are certain things which men to better than women and similarly, there are many things which women do better than men.

I have seen men doing things to prove them better than women or women trying to beat men in their own den. I think many of the women and men have succeeded in their attempts, however till now, I haven’t seen a single living example.

But this is about those two exceptions. The two exceptions who proved, at least to me, that it isn’t about being a guy or a gal, it’s about having a big heart filled with helluva courage.

The story is about me traveling from one part of India to another and meeting two girls, (women, if you will) whom I added to my exceptions list. I boarded the train from half way of the train’s total journey with 24 more hours of journey left.


Girl One

She was a south Indian girl from Bangalore and travelling to Delhi to catch another train to meet her husband in Punjab which is more than 2500 km. She was physically disabled (crippled). I didn’t get into the technicalities of it like when and how did it happen and seriously, you wouldn’t have too as she was happy go lucky kind of girl that I wasn’t, even for a second, serious with her. We were all joking and enjoying the wonderful journey. She was travelling alone in a condition in which I would haven’t have taken a single step without a helping hand. Then, to be brave enough to be travelling alone, knowing how dangerous it can be especially in Northern India were the crime rate against women in more than other parts.   

Girl Two

She was from Northern India and coming from Bangalore, again to Delhi and then to Jammu, Jammu & Kashmir. For her, the journey was for more close to 72 hours. I’m not a traveler and don’t enjoy traveling large distances. I’d rather stay home or take a flight. But this girl was different. This may not sound brave or courageous to some/many but I surely seemed to me. She travelled 72 hours more than 3000 kms that too without a confirmed seat which means she didn’t a reserved seat in the train and had to travel sitting/lying anywhere she saw an open space. I thought this was stupid at first as I would have never travelled without a reserved ticket. She told me that she had done this a lot of times earlier too. She, again, was traveling alone. I was amazed to see the confidence and courage to move freely in a man dominated world.

Well, I bow to these girls and they may not read this or know it, but I admire their guts. I wish to match their courage one day. Glad that i'm still connected to them via FB. We exchanged number before we got down at the last station.

Like To Love

How many times have you said the latter "L" word to someone...... with purest intent? How do you know if it's the latter "L" not the first one?

I have heard it from many that when the latter "L" happens..... you will the first person to know and contrary to that many people say that you may not recognize it at the same time. Well, they never helped me - the already hell of a confused person. Someone told me to read about it as they feel many a people have written it better than said. So, i tried reading but let me take this opportunity to announce that i suck at reading. I can't read a single page without getting distracted. Obviously, this didn't work out.

I went on to ask people who claim to be part of a true "true" relationship. I asked the same question again, "how do you know....... that now you love the guy/girl?". At the end of the answers, one thing i knew was it's not a day or two thing....... it takes a lot of time and patience. Love at first sight is something which happens to actors on screen and characters in love stories.

I can say that i learned a lot by talking to different people and getting to know what they think of the latter "L" word. Even though, i almost don't believe in the latter "L" but yea, want to be a part of it once in my life.

Home, Trips and Job

It’s been an eventful month and half. Life has taken turns and twists and finally, it seems that I’m heading towards the right way.

Jaivan - Said to be the biggest Cannon of that time. It was fired only once with a 50 Kgs Cannon ball and 100 Kgs of Gunpowder was used.

I’m back at home after, living alone and away from family and friends, almost a year and half. I took a months vacation from working and spent it with my family and friends, took a couple of road trips to two of the most historic cities of India – Agra and Jaipur. And after a month long vacation, I’m back at work, though in a new firm and a new location, which is closer to home, meaning I don’t have to live away from my home.

Let me start from the day I came back. After reaching home, I was overwhelmed by the reactions people gave me. Reactions from family was obvious but from friends was quite unexpected. My friends took time out of their daily working schedule to meet me at my home. I had my next 4 weekends planned with in 24 hrs after I landed home. Then, I got so many messages and online wishes from so many of my online friends on my birthday, whom I really miss now because, nowadays I spend like zero hrs online and reading blogs compared to the amount of time I gave when I was in Bangalore. I will have to blame it on my friends to whom I was eager to meet after a long time.

Moving on, I got lucky when I got to go on two road trips with my friends. I love road trips and India being such a huge country and diverse, even I was surprised by the things we saw on our road trips. Things which we had only heard of but never seen. First road trip to Taj Mahal was a hit. I would say the best part of the trip was that we were only three friends on this trip and three make a good group and more can make a crowd. Any who, this was the second time I saw Taj. Then last weekend, we were in Jaipur and after we reached there, we heard Freida Pinto and Dev Patel were in the town too. But we had everything planned and were on jam packed schedule that they didn’t get to meet us. Poor them.

Coming to the third event, yup, the new job. Best thing about this job is that it’s closer to home and is good for my skill set. Hope to find some good work here and that this firm helps me get what I want.

The city of Jaipur as seen from Jaigarh

Well, I hope this post pretty much explains why I have been out of scene for some time. Also hope to be here more however there are thin chances but will make appearances.

P.S. :- It’s marriage season in India these days plus there are lot of auspicious dates around next couple of weeks. I have received a lot of invitations of my relatives and friends getting married. I haven’t attended a single wedding from last two years, so I’m pretty excited about.

Aamer Fort - It's huge. Loved it. Jodha Akhbar - the movie was shot here.

Three Out Of Five

I don't know if you'd understand the metaphor behind the title i gave this topic just by reading it, however, there is a slightest of chance of you really understanding it, if you have a older sibling. But, understanding the title right now isn't important....... but i surely hope to justify it by the end of this post.

This post is dedicated to my older sibling. My bro.

I was sitting, hoping for the journey to end soon, when i saw two little boys running up and down in the aisle of train. As soon as the small one falls and gets upset, the older one comes back, picks him up and takes him along with him. And the little one did it a couple of times and i knew it was intentional because as they say "been there done that".

It reminded me of the days when we used to play together. It’s been a really long time since that happened last time. We both are huge fans of cricket, but I now when I think about it, feels as if he induced it into me. However, I really thank him for that because after all the game has become a big part of my life.

I don’t have any huge or life changing memories of me and my bro but I do remember a lot of small ones like the day he banged the bike into a pillar when I was sitting behind and hurt really bad. Like the days when our parents used to leave us alone at home and I used to sit/lie and watch cartoons whole day and he used to do all the chores.

Whenever there was something which couldn’t be divided equally ..... I was the one to get 3 out of 5. May be its something all older sibling do or may be not but this is something I learned from him.

No wonder I grew up to be spoiled but that’s cause I always knew that I have someone to look back to. Some one I can always fall back on. I know I may have taken him and still taking him a lot granted but I’m trying to improve and trying to be independent.

Hope to be the guy he can always fall back on.

Letter to Future Me (2020)

Hey Future Me,

The first thing I want to start with is that I hope that the life then wouldn’t be as lousy as it is right now.

I haven’t really clearly decided on different kinds of questions like what to do and where to be, but hoping you would have it all cleared up then. Really hope you don’t suck at decision making by now. You have been the most suckiest person when it comes to decision making that I have ever seen in my life. I mean even Yuvraj singh makes better decision when playing towards off side then you. OMG, you suck more than Yuvraj Singh. Congrats on touching the new level of sucking present me.

Okay, moving on. You must still be fan of Ameesha Patel and Drew Barrymore, until and unless, you are married to one, then the first condition is void. Well not going to talk about it much now..... you know why.

And one thing that you have to make sure is to buy a Harley Davidson or if you still can’t afford it then you should surely have the Indian brother for Harley Davidson – Royal Enfield.

You should still be in love with movies. I mean you should have a big, huge mountain of all the favorite movies DVD, unless, somebody invents something better to store data into.

Hoping that you must be multi-lingual by then and don’t have to struggle while talking to people from different parts of Indian or other countries.

You must be friends with all the people with whom i’m right now. This is not optional. I have had great friends and family and you better be not broken up with any one of them.

AND THE MOST IMPORTANT.

If humans have perfected time travel by then and you own one of the time machines, then tap me on the head on 21 hrs:10 mins:30 secs on 1st October 2010.

Okay, I waited 3 mins for that tap and it didn’t came so I assume that you don’t have the time machine or may be humans haven’t perfected it till then. Damn it.

Well, these are the things on top of my mind right now. Will keep you posted if anything comes up. Hope to see you soon.

The Month Of August

Don't know how this month started but the end is killing me. Right now, i feel like i standing in an empty room and all the four wall are closing into me. It's getting really scary here. There have been days when i thought of leaving everything and running away. The days when i had no confidence in me or what i was doing. When everything looked going downwards. Days when everyone, doing anything seemed stupid. Days when watching FRIENDS on felt stupid.

But, this isn't the first time this is happening to me. I have been through the worse and me writing this post means that i have made it through. I won't say, this is the worst i have been through but this is will make it to be one of worst list.

Next 10 days are very crucial. I need to patient for this. I'll trying to hold on but i can't see me holding it that long but it's still worth a try or let me rephrase it "what other options do i have" .

If, will make it through, there will be a big .... a really big announcement, here.

Holding On

A Friend Called "Morale Booster"

I thought this would be the easiest topic to write about. But, it’s proving to be such a pain in the rear. Actually, this is all happening cause this is the first time I’m trying to categorize my friends as best, good and not-so-good friends. It’s because of the same reason it’s so difficult to choose one especial person from a huge group of people.

Sam And Frodo

The choice, really, isn’t easy for me. I had to go really deep down memory lane to recollect all those instances when and where someone became my savior for the day. Who is that one person? Can it be my friend who got beaten up, for the thing I did, by the teacher and he didn’t blame it on me. Can it be my friend who helped me with my studies, even if helping me, at that moment could have affect S’s own results? Or is it the person who trusts me more than anyone and shares secrets with me?


I tried searching internet for a definition of a Best Friend, so that, I can fit in one person from my life to it and see if he/she matches the ideal/best friend’s arguments. But friend/best friend is one term/word which even google couldn’t define.


So, to come out of this dilemma, I choose, which can be categorized as THE lamest question, the “Who is that one person (friend) I’d take with me to a deserted island??”

The only name which came to my mind was of S’s. S is one person who has always been there. S is my “I’ll be there for you” person. Some one who’d always be there when I look behind. S has never bored me. S is the only person with whom I can converse with more than 5 mins without getting distracted. S is the person who picks my calls even if I call at 2 in the midnight.

Chandler and Joey

S and I go long back. We were school classmates. I exactly remember the day when I joined my new school and my class teacher told me go sit with S as she knew me and S come from same locality and that I knew S before. We spent 7 great school years together. We used to spend the whole summer vacation together, if, not waiting for each other to return. It’s difficult to describe how we came close and how the bond became stronger. It wasn’t just one moment which changed everything. It was an effort we both had put, over the years, in every moment, every other day to build up the trust we share today.


Today, it’s been exactly one year and three months since I left my home (1^st May 09). But, cause of S, I never feel alone in this city even when I’m living alone here. S told me to call S whenever and whatever it is about and it was S’s word which S always stood by. I don’t miss here in Bangalore because S is the first person I talk to whenever I’m alone.

Jai And Veeru

S is my “Morale Booster”. I gave S the nick name “morale booster” a couple of months ago. It was, again, one those “not my best” days coupled with lonely night in Bangalore. I called up S as usual and we had which I described THE best conversation, though I don’t remember all of our conversations but this one is definitely going to be with me for a long time. I was low because of all the happy news I was hearing about my friends like someone getting promoted, another getting married, one becoming a father and then someone buying a home. That day S told me, “When you are aiming for success, it’s the direction which matters not the pace”. This raised my confidence to the highest level for next 3 days before my fickle nature again brought it down. I don’t know how S does it, but it seems pretty easy for S to induce confidence in me, though, S is still working on making it last longer.

I know S isn’t an extraordinary person. You don’t have to be to touch someone’s life. Friendship is a beautiful relationship. Your friends are reflections of how good are you at decision making. Yea, it’s filmy to say but you choose your friends and being friend with S is one decision which proves that I don’t suck at decision making. I’ll also take it as a reference of my decision making skill.

I still don’t know what’s a definition of a best friend? But, for time being, I think I’ll leave it off at “S”.

"Now suddenly Flowers are Girly"

"Now suddenly Flowers are Girly"

I remember this quote from FRIENDS, when Chandler wants them(Monica) to use their Wedding China for the Thanks Giving Dinner and Monica tell that she exchanged the "pink flowery" one Chandler picked to the they used and then Chandler says "Now suddenly Flowers are Girly".

Well, yea flowers are girly......what were you thinking? My personal view, i don't even like the way flowers smell. Don't know why.......never liked that....unpleasant smell. But that never came in my way of gifting it some girl because they like it. Anyways, i don't think any guy would to spend much on the first date and regret after word when the "things" doesn't work out and he feels that all the money went in vain.

So it's stupid to spent money on expensive dinner date when you could simple gift some flowers and take her out for drinks or may be not that expensive dinner date. It is as effective as the earlier one. Also, now i have found out a place where you can send flowes online and get them delivered. That would really surprise her......

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

Also, if you want to track SANTA then check this.

22 Down

Yes, the phone is ringing since 00:00 AM, 28th October. So, since a couple of days i've been thinking of what i should post on my B'day. Nothing came into my mind.......i was carrying the same thing with me to the bed.....and it was on my mind all time. So, today morning, when i woke up. This idea came into my mind. Don't know how bad or good it is but this is one of those feeling which strangely comes to the mind when you wake up. It felt as if, i was thinking about the whole thing all night and felt confident about it.

So here it goes, i've planned to break the last 22 years for this post.

Kerela Wedding

Hi All,

Hey, if you people are thinking why i wasn't dropping by your blogs, well the simplest reason and the truth is "I was out of town attending a wedding". The place is exactly 7 hour drive from my place.

So, i left Friday nite and reached there early morning on Saturday. I'm one of the worst travelers you'll ever see. No, i don't puke all the way but i can't sleep while traveling. Yea, i slept some one hour that night and was so tired yesterday morning that i didn't even leave my hotel room for traveling around and to see the place.

I like wandering around new places. I think this is the best way of exploring the place around you and to know the people around. But this day, because of no sleep, i didn't get the chance to leave my room.

Ok, then was the wedding. Now, wedding in Southern part of India is way to different. Yes, the basic are very similar because we all are from same religion but the way they do it and we do it in Northern India was so contrasting. The dresses, ceremonies and food (i was waiting the whole day for that part) all were different. Regarding food, North Indian wedding's rarely have non-veg dishes, but here, we had like everything and because kerela is coastal area, we had some of the best sea food of my life(P.S. - I haven't eaten sea food a lot. I can count the number of times i have).

And because this was the first South Indian wedding i was attending and didn't knew what to wear and that's why i was dressed so different from the others. I was looking so different from the herd that everyone would have easily guessed i'm not from South India.

Then after the wedding was over, i needed to come back and travel the same day because i have job and needed to get by monday.

So, i traveled again. Reached home on sunday morning. Slept again till late evening. Yea, as i mentioned in my last post about my friend(Nikhil Nandan Singh) who celebrated his brithday on the 23rd of October, he suggested us this nice Muslim restaurent near by, where we ate today night. I must say Muslim restaurents have such good non-veg food that when ever i want to for non-veg, i hunt for a Muslim restaurent.

We ate Mutton Biryani and Dry mutton. Pics from there too.

I know you all had great weekend.....and people not from India....i know its still Sunday there. So all you enjoy the weekend.

Scorpion's Month

Hi Everyone,

From today the month of Scropion's starts. Why i'm posting it? Come on, you people don't remember it. Its my Birthday coming up next week and I'm a Scropion.

Talking about Scorpion, let me give out some traits of an scropion.

1- Fickle - Scropions are fickle and they can't decide on anything. Probably, that's the reason why i'm a bad decision maker. I think from heart.

2- Dual Personalities- Scropion always have this dormant and dominant personalities. It really takes hardwork to take talent out of a Scorpion. I meant especially if talent is the dormant personality.

3- Memory- Scorpion's never forget, especially, if the memory is one which hurt. Scorpions never forgive. They may say it that they have but once they loose confidence and trust on you then it won't be coming back.

4-Sting- Like a scorpio, Scorpion's also sting you bad. They may not do it physically but they'll hit you when and where it hurts the most.

5-Lover's- Scorpion's are dedicated lovers. If they are with you, they never back out. They'll go the world's end with you.



Enough of the praises and i don't want to talk about the bad part about Scorpion's.

So now, this for WISHING HAPPY BIRTHDAY to a friend.

Pee In The Pant Moment

Hi all,

Today, when i was in the bus coming to my office, i heard about this contest on Radio where they where doing this contest. The contest theme was "Pee In The Pant Moment".

Although i didn't called them and participated, but still i thought what was i my "Pee In The Pant Moment". Then, i went deep into my heart and started rewinding things.

Then, i found one moment. This is from my college days. Me and a couple of my friends were playing Table Tennis in the gym. The college gym was inside the boys hostel. After sometime, the guys who lived in the hostel came and asked us to leave and let them play. But we didn't want to leave the game in between and we didn't afraid of them. So after some loud argument, it became a fight. And, soon one of those five guys pulled a iron rod out of somewhere, and that was my "Pee In The Pant Moment". I was stunned, standing there like a mannequin. I was so afraid at that moment thinking what will happen if that guy hits me with that rod. Although, i didn't really pee in my pants........but that was something......which could have made me do it.

What happened after that? Thank god, one of my friend was not out of his senses and he kicked that guy and took the rod from him and threw it away and saved me. I really thank my friends who were there.

After that incident, we three people were like so popular in the college. Everybody knew as the people who beat the hostelers in the hostel........it was like killing a Lion inside its own den. They all must have thought that we were really brave to do that......but they didn't knew the real "Pee In The Pant Moment".

Note :-
Ok, here's the catch. Tell me your Pee in the pant moment and if i'll like it.......then the winner will get 1000 EC from me. So, let's do it. The Contest is here for a of couple days. Till 28, Oct.

Hi Friends,

Today is wordless wednesday.......however i have some things to tell. First, today is the Birth date of my friend or you can my BFF. He will 23 today. I have already wished him.

And here's a pic which i took last saturday, when me and friends ate out... \,,,/and yes i was behind the camera again.

"Move On"

Don't how much this word terrifies you but it kills me. I have left home, friends and good friends 4 months ago.

I think, i'm the only one who is still living in history. Instead of making new friends in new city, being alone here is taking me closer to my earlier friends. I'm calling my friends more than anytime. This fixation is not letting me get out and making new friends. Also want to tell the friends i'm refering here, were my classmates from school. Almost all of my friends have moved on especially because they had good college life. While may be cause i didn't had that great college life.........or it would be better to say that my school life was way way great than my college life. As i told, my friends have moved on. They have more friends to attend.........yea, they do enjoy hanging out with us.........but its that we don't spend that much time together.........also most of us are doing something or anything. Why i'm saying we or they......we were a hugh group.....to be presice we were 14 in number. We were been together....for more than 5 years......then 3 left......but still were together and till now. Its been some 11 years now or probably more. But for graduation, we all were scattered.........all took different courses......and were no where close.....in education.....but always took time out to meet atleast once a week. But its not the same.......especially when i'm 2500KM away. Also as i was the one who used to force them to be together......i know as me not there, no one gonna be together. I miss my friends.



Also, i'm not that friendly. I don't like talking to stranger..............like many people do....they can start a conversation any where, any time......... with any one. But i'll tell about that later.

Joey Tribbiani - Matt Lablanc

This is in continuation to the series of post i'm writing about the FRIENDS character. You may have read Being Mr. Chandler Bing. This, as the headline says, will be about Joey. Joey- the
Casanova of the group. Think there was not one gal who hasn't dated or fell for this guy other than Janice. As Monica once said that too.....when joey said he thinks he was seeing a gal whom he has dated earlier, huhhhhhhhh................


Joey, immature.........childish........handsome....but not smart. You can say he is the dumbest of them all. He takes the maximum time to understand things............and he knows what's not say at what time and place oohhhooo....no that was Ross......he the opposite.

Joey got himsself......no Chandler too robbed when he was trying to sell the ENTERTAINMENT CENTER which he built on his own. Then, he got the Mr. Duck and Mr. Chicken and after when they died, sssshhh....Joey still don't know that, so he brought Duck junior and Chiken Junior too.


Joey had such magical incidents............I mean when he becomes the dancing partner of their janitor......and kinda falls to him....like emotionally. Then the one where he and Ross are stuck on top of the roof and try to get down using the fire-stairs.........and then they are hanging face to face........not exactly face to face.


One of the best quality of Joey is love and friendship.......ohhh .... that's two. But that is his qualities. When he loves, he did things which can't be believed. When he fell for Rachel, he changed so much and so much better. Suddenly i liked him more than chandler. He loved Rachel so much.......... changed the definition of love......till now everybody was thinking about themselves in a relationship but this was the only relationship....when Joey cared for Rachel the most.

He is a great friend...........he kept the secret a secret for Chandler and Monica.....and even when he was blamed for so many embarrassing things. He was the sleeping buddy of Ross. He was also the back up for Phoebe if she didn't get married till the age 40.

Also i liked it when Chandler saved a place in his new house for Joey. When chandler told to Ross that he won't get Joey after him...........if he wouldn't get Emma after Rachel and Ross and Monica.

Joey - a foodie. He can just eat, eat, eat .......and i can get tired of writing but he won't of eating. When Rachel made that especial dinner which no one liked and Joey ate it all on his own. I mean eating beef and ice cream and jam .......it needs guts. Once he also ate the whole THANKS GIVING turkey on his own.

Joey was always the attraction of the show. I know many of the gals must have seen FRIENDS cause of him.

What Joey likes.......Food, meeting gals....dating them....then forget their names, messing things around, doing stupid things, free porn, Baywatch, Rachel, THE BAG.

There's a lot more to add........I'll just end for the day here.

My Best One Hour Of The Day

Yea, people are engrossed by work. All of them have something to do......some work here...and there. Even i have work, yea, i am also employed. I'm not one of those who earn heavily from their blog and pages and don't have to work.....but i wish to be one of you. I like writing a lot .... and the fact that there are more than a couple(my brother and my friend) of people reading me.....amazes me and encourages to write more and truthfully.

Yea, so about the best one hour of my day..... and it is the ........the one hour i watch FRIENDS. I started watching this series, somewhat, 8-10 months back. Since, then i haven't been able to live one day without it. I did almost everything.........though i couldn't afford it...so i downloaded all the parts....God bless Torrents and P2P concept generator who ever he/she was/is.

Well, these days i'm watching the 10th season of FRIENDS. I love those guys and gals........everything is so good in this.

Watching FRIENDS gives me all the emotions - fun, emotional. love, friendship, etc.....many of the emotions which i can't even describes.......like what is the mix of fear and love........huhhhh....not that simple....need to buy a new vocabulary......

So this is me.................i would love to know....what is you best...time of the day..........
