Times are Changing...

'God help those who help themselves..'

Ever heard of something like this. Well, from almost one month now I have been trying to help myself out in almost everything. I am washing my own clothes, cooking my own food, cleaning the house. I mean I don't see any mighty intervention from anywhere. I don't know how is god helping out here. :P

So if we go by the saying I am sure I am about to see something unusual very soon I guess. :D

Quite Strange..!!

Anyways, last few days have been very very interesting. First time in my life I saw 2 AC coaches in a train separated by 10 Sleeper (Non-AC) coaches with no provision to walk through. I mean its a common sense. And to add to it, seats you booked are not together. Each on the either end of the train. Just imagine if your are traveling with your spouse or family, friends or whosoever, you will have to wait for next few stations to cross few coaches each time before you actually reach same coaches just to ask if everything is fine and comfortable.

First time in my life I saw an Auto Driver to stop just a few meters before the actual destination just because he didn't know that it would be in that particular direction. Interestingly, he is arguing to pay more as well.

First time in my life I traveled AC Tier I as well. It was just like Harry Potter experience. Separate cabin. Very broad and nice berths which gives you a royal feel. But only thing that was adding spice to it was instead of Ron and Harmainee (as I always expect) there were these two dark guys. Who were sleeping as if they have slept for the first time in life. Snoring Music was at its peak. The best when train used to stop somewhere. I wish I could actually record it somehow. Am sure I could have been nominated for Emmy's.. :P

First time in my life I went to my favorite place more than five times in a day. Of course it was not so good experience but wasn't unpleasant either. After all, its totally bio-logical. Can not blame anything. There are hardly few things which are actually 'logical'... :)

Wondering how times are changing... :) Hope for good...!!

Finding a new 'Wor(l)d'..

Recently I read somewhere that the great Oxford 'lexicon' got richer by a new word and same has been stated as 'Word of the Year'. The word is 'unfriend'. Meaning of the same has been defined as - 'to remove someone from one's friend list on any social networking sites'

Wondering where is everything going. Guess sometime down the line everything will be based on some or the other social networking sites only. Breaking News would be someone 'unfriending' someone from Facebook. Another channel would show how some minister joined some community belonging to some party and un-joined his previous party on Orkut.

People will vote by joining the community of some party and maximum users in the community will represent the win of the party.

Interviews for a job in any good company will depend on how many big shots a person is having in one's friend list. HR will look at the fan list of the guys and decide about his/her personality and Marriages will be decided seeing how less are the no. of girls in a guys friend list and vice-versa.

What say...??? Seriously..

PS: Facebook or Orkut (or the name of any social networking site) don't appear in any of the dictionaries.. :P

"A Think Switch"

How many times we wonder how we treat our lives. Seriously, making all the right moves calculated carefully, measuring each step; or just casually, laughing off everything and just being a 'Who Cares!' dud..

Or its just Seriously Casual.. Is it worser? I think a lot how to find a answer to that. But then I realize there is no 'Think Switch' available in me :P

Just imagine how super life would have been that we had (just like any other power switch) something called 'Think Switch'. We could just switch it on or off whenever we want and whenever we don't.

Lets count few things - Probably the first thing to switch it off will be towards anything which sounds - "get married"

Then may be - "why boss? why no business?" :P

Whenever I hear something like this, my whole body gets sensations as if someone has tickled me and I am not able to control laughing. And trust me it doesn't gives a good impression to the person sitting on the opposite seat. THE HOT SEAT :P

Then.. mmmm... - See this itself is very tough to think. :)

So keep thinking. Just wonder whether we actually choose things to think over or its just a open fish market; whatever comes would poke the holes in our minds and will crib over it. Well decide yourself and make your life as you wish it to be or just 'Keep thinking'...

Cheers...!!

Achievement in True Sense...!!

Well, how often do we wonder what all we have achieved till now, how did we manage to achieve that, did that effect someone and how?, was it a hard-work or we just got lucky?

Well, generally people just live the moment and don't look all these things. Last few days have been so, that I was made to actually think a lot about how did I manage to survive till here. In fact if someone asks me what would be my achievements in life, I will not have to think a lot. Coz there are none.

The first time probably I was happy in life with real sense of achievement was when I scored a good percentage in my 10th Std, coz nobody expected me to. See, now when u do something, when nobody else trusts you, then is a moment in your life where you can proudly show your middle finger in American style and say - I did it U........ Go get some AIR. ;)

Well, the achievement was everybody was so happy that I can't even explain and I guess it was hard work for the first and the last time in my life. :P

Next - mmmmmmmm.. Its actually what I count as the biggest achievement of my life and it would remain so, as I don't see any miracle happening now.

The story goes back to May 2006, I joined a coaching institute to prepare for CAT. Well, so did everybody else as if this is the only time when MBA colleges are open for admission and will shut down after this. In India its called 'Bhed Chaal'. One successful person will narrate his or her story, here or there and every Tom, Dick and Harry would like to be an MBA. Don't even think less than that. Future CEOs, my Ass. Anyways, back to the story.

So, there I found the most beautiful heart in the world. The girl so nice, innocent, sweet and with the most wonderful heart. And trust me I am not over-hyping something. She was the type of girl everybody would love to be friends with. And I, son of a gun, fell for her. It was a task to make a small town girl fall for a jerk like me. Well, I never planned to tell anyone about my feelings for her and definitely not to her. She became my very good friend and to tell her about my feelings after that, would ruin everything.

For once in my life I felt there is someone for whom I could do just anything. Well, finally things took a big turnaround and she somehow came to know how I used to think about her (which again is interesting story). Well, she was furious of course. I managed to escape the assault by saying Sorry. Now the task became difficult. But for once fathers and Mothers of Luck showed there mercy on me and managed to say to her - "Will you wait for me for two years, after which I will get a job and come to your parents to ask them to marry you to me?" Guess what, the most lovable person I have ever met, said YES, I Will. It took sometime but it happened. And I really proved myself a son of a gun. The day was November 10, 2006. The day after my birthday, which I count the most beautiful day of my life. Then I came to my college and she went to her. Everything was fine. Two years passed just like that. I got the job, so did she.

Now, the favorite part of the story, which I am sure everybody will love. The time was to tell my parents that I like a girl and I want her as my life partner. Well, I did, (This part was scary and to my surprise went very smoothly), And they also somehow agreed to it provided her parents are OK with it. Now, her parents were not. She told me to do something and I, 'the jerk of the jerks' just laughed off. Didn't even bother to think. Just let the things happen the way they were. And then came the day which ended the most beautiful period of my life. Three years of happiness ruined in one single day. She got engaged to another jerk which I hope is better than me. Now, you might wonder where is the achievement. Well, the achievement is I couldn't do anything and just let her go and proved myself to be a biggest looser. Ironical but, this really is an achievement. Killing the trust of someone who loves you like anything and above all trusts you on their life. Just letting such a girl go, who would have given her life for you without a inch of pain is the biggest achievement. It pains a lot to even think that you betrayed someone who trusted you blindly, but probably I didn't deserved it or she deserved something better.

People tell me cut it off, lessons learnt, don't take it your head. Well, I know all this shit. But when someone is just so close to you that she / he becomes your morning alarm, lunch time dessert, evening snacks and the dinner sweet dish, its almost next to impossible to stop thinking about them. Well, it was March 29th when I can proudly say I proved myself the BIGGEST LOOSER. Don't think I wrote this post coz I was mentally upset or emotionally broken, nothing like that. I am as happy as I ever was and would be like that way. Its just that I realized how often do I misunderstand myself.

How often does that happen to you? I bet never...........
