2012-01-07T12:00:00.000+05:30

Sorry for the long topic.. Please read on.. Further disappointment awaits.. :P

A quick update.. India lose again against Australia. Ah! Well I hope its not the news next week or the week after that.. :( OK! Lets cut to the chase whats going on in this world, I mean is it me? or nothing seems to be going right for India, except for the "sunny" weather :D

The rupee is falling(RBI is still positive), Politicos getting slapped for price rise..(A debatable topic).People dying of cold weather in the north (Same story every year), Indian Movies not entertaining people enough (Do you need examples?), India losing and wickets falling as soon as sachin is out (Are we back in the 90s?), The Beer baron losing some fizz(In case of airlines atleast.. I think all the pretty stewardess will be replaced by Pantry boys from trains.. :P), Anna still fighting for Lok(g)pal bill (I think you will read this statement for the next 10-20-God-knows-how many years), Kasab is still alive( Soon! A bollywood film by the name of "Immortal" will be made on him, making a mockery of Indian (ill)legal system), Girls still getting molested in North India(Read NCR.. I think its time to put a poster at the entrance of Gurgaon.. "EVE Teasing prevails") and Petrol prices are getting out of reach(Still remember the time when it was Rs.44/liter.. :( .. )

What else is in the news... Nothing! All stories are pretty depressing.. And m making my blog depressing too.. Thinking of doing something about it.. :)

ok...
ok..

I am going to change India.. but before that lets keep typing.. :P

So.. how is everyone doing.. I know u missed me.. ;) I missed you too.. :D Hehe.. enought said.. Lately I have been pretty much occupied with .. sleep, work and more sleep and ofcourse studying.. Studying.. :O yeah! you read it right mate.. but studying what?.. oh you know the usual.. google news n all.. :D Anyways.. Today is a great day.. a wonderful day... cause today is the day I begin my journey to become an entrepreneur (oh cool! I typed the word correctly.. a good omen I presume.. ;) .. yeah! been reading the alchemist.. ) Must say that book blew my mind somewhat, made me believe that we should never stop pursuing our dream no matter what, and its not just the book that made me realize my destiny, my dream....

Lets turn back the clock to 6th october... around 6 AM.. going to chandigarh from Gurgaon with my brother for his wedding.. in came a message .. that steve jobs is no more.. And I was like.. shocked for a few seconds.. man! The "i" in inspiration had died.. The "i" in innovation had died..
There are very few people in the world that I adore or rather idolize and mr. jobs was one of them. That moment I decided that I had enough of lazing around.. and its time to do what I really dream of doing. I want India to rule the software industry .. why? because India deserves it.. Indian brain is behind almost everything that is spectacular in this world.

All I needed was a spark to ignite the flame.. You have the same in you.. Ask yourself what you really want to do in life? Do you want to follow the crowd or you want to do something that your heart desires and make your own path to your destiny.

Its true.. we are all here in this world and born with a purpose.. a goal.. I know what my purpose in life is and I am going to achieve it no matter what. I know how hard it is.. I know I'll fail countless number of times and my heart will tell me to play it safe but I have to carry on.. cause this is how it is supposed to be ( that book really did do a lot.. :D)

So to sum it up.. Guys! Its a request.. life is tooooooo short .. don't think that you will achieve your dream in later stage of your life.. no! this is the time to do it.. So go ahead.. Believe in destiny and follow your heart.. Mr. Jobs did it.. he lived less but made every second count.. :) Thats the impact you have to put on this planet. ("We are here to make a dent in the universe" -steve jobs.. ;))

Man! I am so pumped up.. hope i don't lose the tempo.. :)
So all the best .. and make every second of your life count..

P.S : If you are not happy with the above post then please read the alchemist by Paulo Coelho and you'll know what I mean.. and ofcourse the word "Maktub".
A special mention to Sir Dennis Ritchie who also died this past month .. the creator of C language.. An inspiration to many and the reason I am able to type all this on this perfect interface.. May his soul rest in peace..

Next time... sure.. till when!

Procrastination..
The act of procrastinating; putting off or delaying or deferring an action to a later time

This is something I never do professionally.. just telling u.. before I start the post.. :D

Anyways so I was saying.. I just keep putting off things at a more personal.. non professional level i.e. I don't know why but its just this way and I can bet .. u do that too.. don't u?. . ;)

I have examples say for instance.. I had decided 2 months back that I will wake up early and sleep early.. and well .. bang!.. 2 months into the promise.. its almost 4 AM.. talk about waking up early.. m not even sleeping .. :D

To make it worse.. tomorrow is Saturday.. :D but at times I feel all the fun aside.. I am lying to myself.. isn't it?.. I mean come to think of it.. I promise something to myself and I am not able to keep it.. what kind of person m i?..

A cobbler or shoe maker may be..

aah! you know.. "A promise breaker is a shoe maker".. don't tell me u haven't heard of this? .. how about "An apple a day keeps the doctor away".. oh FYI, I also promised myself that I'll start eating apples and go to the gym.. I am able to do one of em.. you know which one.. ;)

Ya! u guessed it right!.. apples.. :D

Anyways.. Did I just say.. I lie to myself?.. Damn!.. How can say such a thing! may be that was the insomniac thoughts.. I think I just invented that term.. cheers!

My mind is playing tricks on me.. I think its time to sleep..

Oh! and BTW.. "I am the best".. as if u care.. :D

Take care! and sorry about the post.. I know u feel like kicking me.. but its the way it was supposed to be.. I had to make sure.. I posted something tonight.. ANOTHER PROMISE I MADE TO MYSELF..

Come on.. I had to write that in uppercase .. please go through the post again if you don't get the point.. :D cuz I am going to do the same.. :P

Hmm.. still pointless baby!.. ya thats right.. life is pointless.. ok..

Dude!.. end this post. NOW..

God bless u people.. and good night!.. :D

Busy life of an I(T) Professional

2011-06-30T00:58:00.004+05:30

Hi

With reference to the title above, I think you read this absolutely right. I have been busy for a change for the past month now. Trying hard to read some book or write an entry into my blog. But not able to do so. Also I'd like to link one of my older posts with this one which was about how free I was. So free that I could remember so many faces in the crowd. So keep reading on now as this post explains the exact opposite.

I think that will solve your query.

Regards
Ankit

Hahahaha.. That is how I am used to mailing nowadays. A glimpse of how a job can change you.. :P

And people do not use emoticons and ..... (dots) in your mail. That'll make the receiver mad. Trust me.. :D :D

I cant believe how fast life changes, a few days back I was a free bird, Go anywhere be somewhere else No one cares and now I am bound by the very chains of the work I do... :P Its not like I don't get time, I do get the time but at that time I just prefer to sleep, something that I love to do... :)

But from today I have decided that I am going to spend more time on writing and reading. Reading because I haven't read in a while and writing because its the only place where I .... can ....... freely ..... :) place :) a smiley :P wherever.... I want.. :D :D :D

Ah! It feels so good to write(type) like that.. hehe.. And ya! earlier I was a bit skeptical about how the project life @infy will be and to be honest its great..

Keeps my mind occupied and my concentration has increased dramatically.. Now I can concentrate on the screen for hours and do nothing.. :D :D And guess what, in the past week I was @office 13 hours a day everyday.. felt like I was living there.. :P

But it still feels great!

I still think twice before sending a mail (Though I am getting better at it).. And I don't get the time to interact with my friends except for the weekends... I miss home so much that I cry sometimes.. :P ... I crave so much for some development work that it frustrates me and makes me wish I was somewhere else....

But it still feels great!

Ah! all is well here... I wish the same for u.. ;)

God Bless!.. Gotta rush to the office.. :)

Be Happy.. :)

2011-06-01T00:24:00.002+05:30

Hey people.. how is everyone.. long time no see huh.. ;)

Well here I am to write something new
It may be fun for some of you
For some it may be hard to chew
Depends on everyone's point of view
Doesn't matter if u r hindu,muslim,english or jew
By the end of the poem u won't have clue
That y do u feel so blue
Feel like kicking me with a shoe
Or a punch will do
Hehe don't worry we are almost through
the poem not the blog so not the time to bid adieu.. ;)

Haha.. sorry just made that up.. thought of writing a piece before I start.. neways moving on..

Oh n ya this is my first post on my sweetheart .. my new XPS.. :)

So this post is about happYness.. There is an I in happiness not a Y.. well there is no Y(Why) in happiness.. You don't need a reason to be happy.. do you?.. I mean come on.. half of us.. no wait.. 90% of us are frustrated with our lives .. Y?? Don't we have enough reasons to be happy?.. And why do we blame God all the time.. I got a mail today from my friend in that a man was hit by a rock and he asked God.. Y? and the next pic showed God stopping all rocks and saying "sorry I missed one small rock.. I hope it didn't hurt u?" .. I mean come to think of it .. In this such a beautiful and happy life.. we blame god for just a piece of trouble.. and call his creation miserable.. some say "God is inside us".. If it is that way then u have all the more reason not to say such stupid stuff.. :)

Several reasons to be unhappy about:
1. My boss isn't happy even though I work so hard
2.My salary is so less
3.I have to get up early in the morning
4.I am away from home in this good for nothing organization
5.How come that guy has a girlfriend :D
6.I need a girlfriend :D :D :D
And some more reasons related to girls, your corporate life, personal life etc etc

Whoever you are and where ever you are.. if u are reading this then I'll suggest u to be happy and smile as much as you can and life will become much more easier than u take it. Just believe in yourself my friend.. "One failure is an experience and an experience is another step to success".. well I just made that up.. Sounds good na?.. :D

So Stay happy always.. God Bless!!!

P.S : I am also the kind of person who criticizes life @ the worst of times.. but there is always room for a change and I am going to do that.. will you?.. Ah! well..then its time for you to think again.. :)

A new life @ Pune part 2

2011-04-18T17:20:00.001+05:30

So wat the hell.. :-D m actually havin a nice time in pune.. Started below par but with some patience and little less frustration the tide finally turned.. I think(thinking is such a waste of time) m getting used to this independent life.. And ofcourse the professional life.. I mean come on.. I have been on bench(not the ones u find in ur classrooms, it industry slang.. :-P) for the past 45 days, so I have learnt to waste time by eating,drinking(yeah u read it right..hehehe) and staring at different people.. (Oh come on u freak..:@..get a life)
Aaahhh.. Its getting from bad to worse.. Need to improve the post.. So, where was I .. Ya the new life.. Yaar! Honestly I dnt have words to tell u how awesome(did I say awesome??..keep reading) it feels to live alone.. I mean u can sleep whenever u want, wake up whenever u want.. Keep urself dirtyy.. Or tidy.. Its all upto u.. Of course there is a downside as well.. The other part where u feel lonely at times..so lonely that u start crying ur heart out.. You scream inside yourself that u want to go home to the place where there is peace and there r no worries.. A place where u get so much love that u feel overburdened wid it and think about moving out.. Well pal! I got something for u.. Its time to think again.. :-)

God bless u all.. If u reading this.. Hehehe.. I mean.. God bless everyone.. :-)

But as they say there comes a time when u have to get out of your comfort zone n face life head on... So thats what m going to do.. For instance I cleaned up my house all by myself.. Damn! It feels good.. But I have my back screaming for mercy.. Time for some.. "ah se aha tak".. ;-)
That'll fix up by back.. Coming back to the new and "independent" life.. Well if someone asks me how r finding this new life in the new city.. I'd say it ain't easy mate.. Doing everything all by yourself.. So if u r going to start a new life.. A professional one at that.. Then u better buckle up.. And face the music.. (Listening to "21 guns" by greenday..) ..
So where was I .. Oh ya.. The new life.. So it goes something like this.. It used to be like a 20 min bike ride from my home to college now its a 40 min backbreaking "tum tum" ride to infy.. It used to be home "eat what you want
" food everyday n now its "eat what you get" food and many other things that I need to save for my coming posts :-P
I think I have scared you enuf.. Time for some fun.. Ok! Now what should I write to make u laugh..or get back your interest.. Wait.. I think I am losing u.. I think I need to "get idea".. ;-) .. Ah! I think I saw a smile on your face.. Even though the joke was poor.. Oh! One last thing its almost one o clock ist n m in my empty apartment.. Thinking about how life has changed.. Hahahaha.. Bazinga!.. If u dont get the joke read my last post.. :-D
God bless n sweet dreams.. :-)

The new phase of life

2011-03-05T02:11:00.001+05:30

Hey everyone! I am back... *cheers* *cheers*.. LoL .. I know its annoying but its been 6 loooooooooong months.. 6 long months of hard work, mental torture mixed with a little pinch of fun.. I cleared the "infosys training"..
6 months back I thought that my professional life is about to begin.. But I was sooo wrong.. Infosys training made me study more than 4 years of engineering combined.. And now finally after the training I got posted to pune.. Now can I say its the beginning of a new life..
Of course! Its 2 am and m wide awake thinking about how life has changed.. From being surrounded by friends all the time to lying awake in an empty apartment.. I think the corporate life has started.. Whoa!.. I should stop right there.. M still thinking.. Sticking to the way I am .. All this typing on the phone and thinking about how life has changed (a very common topic) has made me sleeeeeepyyyy.. I thdnk we shjld slkkp naw .. I mean I .. Wait! Let me judt weite tjis srtrnce which is ptetty long.. Oh
Stop it!!
Good night everyone.. We'll continue this when I am awake again.. But the good and bad thing is m back.. :-)

Back.. :)

2010-09-20T23:41:00.002+05:30

Hey everyone!..

I am back and I feel a lot better now.. Not frustrated anymore and going to stay like this (I'll try)

Anyways going to infosys (finally) on monday.. So I don't know when I'll be able to post next (Till then I have my diary.. :P)

Just wanted to say.. "All iz Well" now.. :) and the will to read and write is back.. :)

All the very best.. and God Bless..

:) :) :)

Lost the will to read and write!

2010-03-11T01:37:00.003+05:30

Yeah, u read it right!, I have lost the will to read and write, the past month has been so frustrating and depressing that I don't feel like doing anything but sit on the computer and do crazy stuff..programming, designing whatever I can do to keep my mind occupied. And when there is nothing to do, I just sit and think... :P and I think... "What now?"..

I won't go deep into what happened over the past month or so, its not easy to come out of it I know, I'll do that soon and getting pretty better at it but for the time being, I don't feel like doing any literary stuff.. It just annoys me..

"They say everything happens for the best.. If something is not going right its for your betterment"

Well I have no option but to believe in that statement cause Forget the past and move forward is the motto of life, but somethings aren't easy to forget you see.. It'll take time but it will go away but till then no blogging..

P.S : I am totally free for the next three months and it just freaks me out, I look back and all that hard work... Wasted!..Its easy to say but not easy to digest..

God Bless!.. :)

Dreams...

2010-02-04T20:12:00.006+05:30

Dreams, I can write on and on about this crazy phenomenon or whatever you may call it. These unusual thoughts that come to your mind when you are fast asleep or wide awake (Studying in particular). They take you to this unusual world which you can't even imagine...Sometimes that world is a very positive place and sometimes its out an out negative (This is something we like to call "A nightmare").. I usual don't get nightmares but when I dream I see a dream far from reality...

Some dreams make you so happy that once you get up from that dream you feel so angry that you start disliking the beautiful life you are living, believe me its true.

Well the main reason behind the post is that I dream a lot...a lot...But I don't know why I cant turn them into reality (Some of them, some I believe I can)..Nor m I closer to them right now...I want to work towards the dream that I am so concerned about the consequences that it drives me crazy at times and I think about may be getting that part erased so that I no longer get that dream (This idea came to my mind after watching eternal sunshine of the spotless mind.. :P).. Some part inside me already knows that the dream is pretty distant and probably unachievable. But its just not going away..it keeps coming back.. :D

Now all because of this reason, I hate these dreams cause they show you heaven and life seems hell..

My advice: Dream is a wonderful thing..but just don't believe in that so much that you start taking life easily. And also don't get depressed if you are not able to achieve your dream(God Forbid!).. Lets hope you will, they are just there to take you to another world where you can be the king...more like a prince.. :D ..And also think differently..don't lose hope if your dream doesn't seem a reality..Keep trying till you can..

P.S : Think of a dream that can be achieved..And control your emotions when you wake up from a dream..hehehe.. :D

I am writing this post and I am still dreaming...

God bless!!!

The (CAT)astrophe...

2009-12-07T23:28:00.006+05:30

It all started in January when I decided to prepare for the exam that can get you to one of the most respected & prestigious institutes in the world, the IIMs.. Yes I am talking about the Common Admission Test better known as the CAT..Now I was never interested in doing MBA, even at the midst of my preparation I had second thoughts..Should I prepare for CAT or concentrate on my first love..(I am talking about computers, but God bless your overactive mind)..I went on the with the former.......

Anyways TIME went on...and there were some depressing times some happy times and some shocks (This led to some statements like... "Am I that bad?", "Am I that good?" and sometimes even worse..(Its something that can't be mentioned here..lol)..Moving on...

Now by October end I knew IIMs were beyond my reach and the best thing I could do was get into some good four star college (Yes just like Hotels even colleges are rated with stars.. We have 5 star, 4 star(Which according to bulls eye, every college in India is.. hehehe)...etc..I was prepared for the worst and had job plans even MTech plans at the back of my mind..but I never thought the biggest shock was yet to come...

Fast forwarding to 28th November...the day the first online CAT began, I had my CAT the next morning..I was preparing myself mentally on that day, So was not studying...was watching TV for a change and flipping through the channels, I saw the headlines "CAT fails the Test"...Now I won't get into the details of all the news..its all over the internet.. Type CAT 2009 on Google.com(:D)...

I knew that there will be some problems as its hard to conduct an online exam in a country like India but I had never expected such a blunder in a test that would decide the future of 2.5 lakh students..Now at my center I had to wait 3 and half hours before I could start my test and even if that was not enough the technology was there to put the icing on the cake..It was a CAT in which anyone( And by anyone I mean anyone) can get an IIM call if his luck is with him/her..and can even shatter the dreams of a deserving aspirant. It was catastrophic, to be honest..I took the test on the second day so I had no idea what I was about to face and was somewhat happy with my effort but as the week went on I soon realized there is no hope now..only because by the end of the week everyone in India knew what were the questions that were there in the exam, the type of questions..everything( Even the no disclaimer policy was just a mere formality)..and everyone was acing the CAT (Literally...)

"The most important exam in India ruined, there is nothing more to expect"..

And after all this when I look back at the time I started preparing and how I did it, the sacrifices (Not learning anything new on the computer, no games, no facebook, even I avoided watching movies..) so that I could study and atleast get a decent percentile..It was all a waste as far as this CAT goes..

This was not what I expected but what can I say after all this time I am still unplaced with one sem left, still on the same page as far as computer knowledge goes and had just messed up my CAT..All now I can do is hope..that I get placed somewhere good..cause there won't be any celebrations on January 22nd...

But Hey!, I never give up..there is always next time.. CAT 2010..huh?, Why not!!!..

The only good thing is..Now I can get back to my first love and not think about CAT for sometime...

And to all the people who took the CAT '09, GOD BLESS!!!

Here Comes the Rain again...

2009-09-13T01:03:00.005+05:30

I live in Chandigarh(Panchkula actually)..but it felt like Cherrapunji because of all the rainfall that occurred for three continuous days..

WOW! that was pretty awesome considering the weather but it was a nightmare as far as travelling goes..

I drive a two wheeler so I know how it feels when some Car splashes water on you when it speeds past your vehicle..

And thats when you get to do all the Swearing you have learnt in the past few years.. ;) and yell out some really filthy words to the driver..hehe!!

But when you are home in this weather, you have everything to do, you can enjoy a cup of coffee, eat some maggi, and ofcourse who can forget the mom made pakodas...

But then again this all fades away if you have studying to do...ya!..you have tests to take and some study material to solve..Damn!..this ruins the mood..

One year back on the same day I was a free bird, no tensions on my mind..no tensions of getting a job, no tensions of cracking the CAT and certainly no tensions of Studying..lol

But now life has gone full circle...this is like what it used to be in 12th, The fear of cracking a stupid exam after sometime and thinking about its result...

Wait a minute I think I have written about this before..haven't I?..Ah! I am at it again, Criticizing the wonderful life I am living (:P)..

But jokes apart this weather really makes me think...When will we be free??..I mean after 2 months we'll take our CAT and other exams after that finals of seventh sem then the placements and eight sem exams...

Then MBA or JOB...if we go for MBA, the same things will repeat but with a much stricter schedule..

And if we go for a job we'll be having targets to achieve..Damn it!, when does it end..when we won't have teeth to eat and would have to restrain ourselves from eating non healthy food...Ah! yes ofcourse then we will get to enjoy the rain..

:D hahahaha...Exciting concept, I wonder if you all think the same way..No I guess..Man!.. I think way tooooo much..

Gotta go back to studying..Enjoy the weather guys!! :)

Mussoorie - The Queen of Hills..

2009-06-13T15:42:00.010+05:30

Wow..I mean really..Wow..what a trip it was!.. I would have regretted big time if I had missed this one...Well the credit of forcing me to go goes to a few people who kept calling me and of course checking how I was doing with my sore throat..(Excessively sore)...But most of all it goes to the beloved Sikh of our group..Bamba..Thanks a lot man and thanks to your rhetoric ability...You don't owe me anything now..we are even..lol!!!!

Anyways..The mussoorie trip ..well we left for mussoorie in the newly started Chandigarh Dehradun Express..What a journey it was..Come to think of it..AC Coach, All friends together, with Plenty of food (Thanks to Karan, Arjun and Gambhir who kept the pantry boys on their toes), Playing Cards..Do i need to say anymore?, It was wait for it......AWESOME!!!..Loved every minute of it..

Soon we reached Dehradun, now the plan was to stay at dehradun for the night and leave for Mussoorie the next day..Well, the night was again great..Total Masti..I, of course not having all the fun with the food because of my sore throat ofcourse..Man! my patience was being tested big time..(I can't imagine myself spending the trip without drinking pepsi but I just did)..

Next day we took the bus to Mussoorie, it was pretty neat..A 35 km drive took around 1-1 and a half hour, And ofcourse the journey was pretty exciting with me, Gaurav and Amitej singing remixes of songs and came up with a few good ones..lol.. ;) And of course there was the scenery that was pretty amazing..

Soon were set foot in Mussoorie and we were hungry..really hungry, it was tough at first getting the hotel but we did get one and cheap of course and to be honest we were lucky to get a hotel like that in the peak season..Anyways..then it was the usual strolling around the mall road, checking out the scenery (What kind of scenery depends on your perception)...Had our fixed place for food..Cheap and delicious and of course went to kempty falls..Then came the last night of the trip, when we had an encounter with a scorpion (Not a giant but big enough to scare you..btw I found it)..Now the next scenes were marked by total brutality and savagery with Amitej going all out against the scorpion, I mean I haven't seen a man crave this much for blood and show so much bestiality..He was mad..with weapons(Saurabh's shoes) in both the hands, He even dissected the little guy (Yuck)..

But even that was not enough to get me to sleep, I had a fear of those little monsters and I get Goosebumps whenever I think about them..I ain't a coward its just that there are a few things I am afraid of..lol..Anyways..next morning we spent our time checking out the beautiful scenery(Here no perception is required.The word is rightly used..lol) after it rained and then it was back to dehradun by bus (won't go into the details of that journey..it wasn't that pretty..thanks to the bus driver)..

Then we caught the train back to Ambala from Dehradun, wasn't AC but was fun...Reached Ambala 1 and a half hours late thanks to the delay..From Ambala we took a bus to Chandigarh and man!..was that a bus or a Concord??..In no time we were at Zirakpur, from there we took an Auto and I had in my mind that in an hour or two I have to go to Bulls eye for the class..but as I sat on the bed after reaching home, I just don't remember anything..I was off to sleep in a flash..I was really exhausted having slept for 3 hours in almost two days..

All in all it was a lovely sojourn at mussoorie and of course the journey to mussoorrie who can forget that..Had fun and will remember it for the rest of my life..

P.S - All of you people studying in College, do make a trip with your friends...Be it Mussoorie or Shimla or anyother Hill Station..Just go and enjoy life, you will not get these days back..

02 and 03 of 09...

2009-04-09T20:44:00.004+05:30

Its about the past two months of my life..Feb and march...I know its late..but everytime I tried to write, I just couldn't think of the right words..I know my vocab sucks big time!..

Ok the months had everything..

Mock Tests, Sessionals, early morning classes, food poisoning, website designing, Close encounters (If you know what I mean.. ;) )..and a pinch of LAN gaming experience and ofcourse the usual College...

Well, where to start then??..Alrite, it all began when I was given the task of designing a website for the college early in Feb..And there I was on to it and started designing a prototype...and believe it or not I was working almost 24x7..literally!..Web desgining is quite tough man!..but all that matters is the end result..everybody loved the piece I designed but I ain't satsified yet..and I think I can do way better than that..there is a level I'd like to surpass...and that level I haven't achieved yet..lol...

Anyways..in between I faced a lot of hurdles..first hurdle..the earllllyyyy morning classes..oh man!..imagine sleeping at 2:00 am and waking up at 5:30..with your head feeling like its being beaten with a god damn hammer..Anyways this wasn't just the obstacle..then came sessionals..and guess what I was doing multi tasking this time around..Website, sleeping late, waking up early, attending classes, taking the sessionals and if that wasn't enough there was that gastric problem that I had..a minor case of food poisoning..and at the end of that week a mock test..

And besides all that trouble I came out strong...very strong..hahaha..Now I weigh 57..and I had reached the milestone of 60 for a few days..and it just took one week to come down to 57 whereas it took nearly a year to get to 60 from 55...but really I had fun that week..and ofcourse performed decently in all spheres..:)..and then it was time to recuperate..So I gave up..its hard to say..."Maggi"..I gave up my favourite food just so that I don't get those gastric problems I had... :(

The month of March was refreshing and a bit frustrating too..I had problems figuring out what I wanted to do in life..but I finally came to the conclusion..and this is what I said to get my life back on track.."Dekha jayega"..hahaha..

And if that wasn't enough next came the encounter..that made everything even more worse..and frustration had overtaken me..now I wanted to kill someone or beat someone up..(Thats so unlike me) and soon I found the solution to that..Gaming..yeah I killed men and saw them dying and there was something glorious about it (FYI I got killed too)..yeah! it made me happy..And by the way I am talking about Counter strike for all you gaming enthusiasts out there..

And don't worry I am completely normal and won't go on shooting spree in a real life...and just so you know..I won't be discussing the encounter here..its just not the right place ;)...and Btw I have made a decision so that in case a thing like this is repeated in the future I am ready..and won't be bothered at all...

That concludes the post...and I am thinking now..what the hell have I written..a piece of crap..

Sorry for wasting your time..hahaha..cheers!!!..

Keep visiting for more...

Losing it!!!

2009-03-08T18:27:00.005+05:30

Well, Its been a while since I wrote my last entry and I was thinking of making another social post and regarding the fact that its not safe anymore, even cricketers are being attacked, and death is just a bullet away or a stab away, just beware may be your neighbour could be one the Als or could belong to any B,C or D company...or or or..Your neighbour could also be from one of the dals or the parishads..or watever...and if you are caught with your bf/gf you might end up getting married or thrashed..anyways..enough of the scaring n all..I am not going to discuss that in this post..

I am going to discuss a very interesting topic today..."ME"...I mean "YOU"...I mean everyone of us..How many of us..wake up every morning with a new promise..with a new ray of hope..??..Almost everyone I guess..But at the end of the day..we still aren't happy with what we achieved or what we did..And day after day after day after months..We end up saying.."Man!..I think I am losing it!!..This life is hell!!"..Well that generally happens when we either get "Less" marks in an exam, get ditched/dumped by our gf/bf or even when see our crush getting hitched (Not literally, committed rather.. ;) ...) and even when we are doing nothing all day but just sitting and thinking..and studying the damn tenses (past, present, future i.e)...

Well all in all there are many reasons for that to happen..but where does it take us..does it make us a loser??..Nah!

Its just a phase of life my friend where we all try to figure out what we want to do in life, where we learn to live life and what life has in store for us in the near future..Its just a learning curve for you..So for the future you, you aren't losing it but winning it in some way or the other..

So, just chill and enjoy life!!!

P.S - This post is quite contradictory and even similar in someways..(hehe).. to the post "Its time to think again" (just scroll down)..and even to the topic! and even to my blog name!..just read it n forget about it, cause I know tommorow morning you'll make a new promise and at night you'll still say.."oh!..Pathetic life..I am losing it"..(I know this is what I'll be doing..hahaha)...But as the old saying goes..

"CHALTA HAI!!!"..(Life goes on!)

Ciao!..n Happy Holi!!

That same old feeling...

2009-01-16T00:46:00.005+05:30

Oh man! It feels as if we have turned back time and are back in the year 2k5..1 year before the sick competitive exams..Sitting in the classroom of the coaching center solving those monstrous Mathematics questions and thinking about how others are doing...And then I try to reconfigure my mind and come back to 2009, the subjects are different, the exam is different but the situation is the same...

Tutions again!

The exams - CAT, XAT, SNAP, FAT, LAT, DAT..(whatever exam is there just take it..we have to go somewhere and take a break for 3 years( For recession to settle))

Situation - 3-4 lac students (Don't know the exact figure, just decided to prepare for CAT last week) appearing and competing for a seat in the IIMs,IITs(Again) and many more..

Those damn days, I have to face it all again, it now feels like we were freed from a jail for 3 years after a 2 year imprisonment and then sent back to a different prison( Max security) for another one year term and they don't even tell us the crimes we have committed (May be too much fun in the 3 years..lol!)..

All I know is that I have taken the step to bell the CAT,XAT etc, so I'll put an effort into it..and I also know that all the weight I put up in the last 3 years will be lost but I have no other option but to go for it (I really wanted to do something in technical field but this ain't Silicon valley)..

But before I end this, I want to ask God..

Dear God

Why this has to happen again and again, can't we lead a peaceful life, just relax and enjoy..We will not get to live again, So why we have to face exams almost half the time we spend on earth..??..Why this recessesion occured only when we were about to get a job?...hmm well, please do answer these questions when you get the time and you know where to find me..

Amen!

And for all of you who are thinking of cracking the CAT,XAT etc..beware!

Not from me..from the exam..I have heard its quite tough...hehehe!!

All the best!..

A dream...

2008-12-30T16:24:00.004+05:30

People dream all the time..some dream in the day..some in the night...Thats one thing noone can take from us..our dreams...but do they come true??..Are we able to achieve our most cherished desires??..

Well dreams do come true in movies..That I know..but do they in real life? They say if you set an eye towards your dream, Noone in this world can stop you from achieving your dream...bu is it that easy?..Well I guess there is no harm in taking a shot at it..and may be we end accomplishing our dream..

Ah!!...Am at it again..those boring..sick 3rd class philosophies of mine..but I will not torture you any further..well this post is about a dream that I have...(Well I have lots of dreams to be honest)..But I really like this one to be turned into reality..

I dream..

I dream of a changed India, where all of us live in peace and harmony..where is no greater power than the power of love...where politicians think of changing India and not be selfish and be a hinderance to the development of the nation..I dream of an India where there are no discriminations on the basis of caste,religion or sex..An India for whom poverty and unemployment are just mere words and don't signify anything..An India without corruption..An India where each individual is treated equally..and people are judged by their ability and not the money they have in their pockets.Where every issue is handled with brain and not with sentiments and where pety issues are buried rather than exaggerated further the way they are now.Where truth has the highest value..I dream of An India where there is actually "Unity in diversity"..

This is my hope, my dream and this is one dream I really want to be turned into reality..I know its kind of impossible..but I will not stop hoping and will not stop dreaming, and all I know is that for a change to happen each one of us need to change and be a part of it...I am in it..are you??..

God Bless!

Wind of Change...

2008-12-11T23:00:00.001+05:30

Its been around 16 days (more than 2 weeks) since the terror attack on Mumbai..It was ugly, bloody and to be honest totally unacceptable..The Common man was suffering with no reason and we couldn't do anything but see that remorseless and brutal killing of people..The darkness was spreading everywhere..

The attacks had claimed our heroes who sacrificed their lives just to protect us...And it seemed like that terrorism had won the battle even though all the 10 terrorists were killed (1 was captured though)..but the aftermath was different than what we all had expected...We saw a new India..UNITED India!!!

Yeah!..India is waking up from its slumber...Candle light marches (Some say its wasting wax but its not..do we have any other way to send our message and pay tributes??..We can't go the "RDB" way or the "wednesday" way..can we?), protests forcing the government to take some action and attacks on the politicians (with words and phrases), new communities being formed, actors refusing to celebrate festivities and even promote their films (SRK isn't thats what I know)..and is all this doing any good?..To some extent..Ya!..Take an example of today in the parliament meeting, all the parties have decided to stand united against the enemies (The terrorists)..But as the saying goes.."Actions speak louder than words"..So whatever the parties have said..we'll have to wait to see if this statement is put into effect..

Now it seems like india wants to take these terrorists down and attack them this time with no investigations, no cases and needs cooperation from her neighbours..So is pakistan helping??..Well Rice did clear some things up and pakistan is now on a roll..arresting terror suspects, doing house arrests, seizing bank accounts..but is it being done just as a formality or its time terrorism surrenders to the power of nations..??..Few questions still remain unanswered..

But apart from all this as far as the news go..something is going on and actions are being taken..its time for India to earn its respect and dignity back..its time to leave those petty issues behind and fight the big problem..the problem of terrorism..So that we can all roam around freely and not worry about being shot!!..Its time to take this problem head on...No turning back now..The "wind of Change" is already blowing..lets be a part of it..For the United India..And not let this attack on the nation get buried the way others were and actions are taken not investigations..

Its time to think again!!

2008-12-09T00:02:00.000+05:30

You are probably wondering why my blog name is "its time to think again"?..Well..even if you are not..nevermind!..m gonna tell you anyway..hehe..

Its time to think again..means that its time...to think again...I "think" I wrote the same sentence again..lol!..well it basically means that your mind keeps bothering you all the time to "think" about something or the other all the time..be it a personal matter or a professional matter but you have no option but to "think"..what i mean is..your mind is never free..never!!!..and some of you may even think "what life would be like if I was a little carefree?"..huh?..isn't it?..we humans( well most of us) can't live without thinking about something..its in our nature to pop up something in our head that we could focus our mind on..even thinking about the most ridiculous stuff at times..we all have the habit of doing something unpredictable (I don't.. to be honest..I am quite predictable)..but before that some of us think hard..real hard and when we do something we focus 50% of mind on the task we are doing..and 50% about the end result..even though no matter how many times you are taught..don't worry about the result..just do the task with all the effort..but you can't cause its in your nature by default to think more than your limits..

Take an example..Exams..while preparing or taking an exam.. half of your concentration is on the result and half on what you are doing at present..well this is all about living in the present but thinking about the future..why?..why not enjoy the present with 100% commitment (Even though exams aren't the kind of enjoyment..but someother thing)..??..well even I don't know the answer cause I am one of those who think more than their brain can take...but I still don't stop...me and tension are kind of bonded..but I am trying my best to be "Carefree"..and not to think when/where it isn't required...But you see I can't..just like you can't..Cause I guess this is what life is all about...But we still have the most powerful word with us "Hope"..We can always hope for a Change..

Just like Rocky said in Rocky 4

"If I can change, you can change, anybody can change"..(Well this doesn't concern the topic much..but a great line..)

And one of my favourite lines..This one is from the movie "The shawshank Redemption"

"Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies"

So..keep hoping till you run out of breath but never let go of hope..Cause there is someone up there..who is looking after you..May be your Guardian angel..He/She will show you the way..don't worry..(But we still worry..nevermind!..still keep trying..there is no harm in trying..)

P.S - I don't know what I wrote..and what the conclusion was..where it started...and where it ended..but I wrote (typed rather) whatever my mind prompted me to..Even if you don't like it..nevermind!..I write crap most of the time..but still "do think over it"..lol!!.. :)

The whizkid has arrived!!!

2008-12-06T00:18:00.001+05:30

Wow..this line makes me feel like a warrior or some sort of a leader who has come to save everyone..lol..

But on a serious note..this is my first writing on blogger...why?..I don't know..I just love to write stuff in my diary..never thought about typing my thoughts and showing it to the world..but hey! as the old saying goes.."You should keep trying something new"..( I don't know if its a saying..I just made it up I guess..hehe)..and you know..Change is good sometimes..

And I don't know...I had made up my mind not to write anymore..(For ridiculous reasons..its me you know..doing idiotic stuff all the time)...but today I just picked up my pen..and just wrote some of my thoughts in my good old diary..and it was back to "Dear Diary"...

If you are wondering that I'll be going into the detail of telling why i stopped writing?..its just too personel to be declared here..if you know what I mean.. ;)... nah!..nothing of that sort..lol...just messed up mind..too many thoughts jammed the system.. but that was a phase I think I really repent..

So m back to my old ways..of writing all thoughts in my diary and now here as well to explore the dimension of blogging...but only meaningful thoughts mainly substantive...(I'll try to be as meaningful as possible..ahem..well..I know it ain't feasible in my case..)...

Am here to write my thoughts and also m here to read..read what you guys write..yeah!..lets see what goes on in that little head of yours..Explore your mind!!..and write your heart out..Happy Blogging!!!

P.S - Writing on a paper still rules...hehe...
