Its a small world !! Part 3

Part 3

The phone was continuously ringing.  she picked it up..”Hello” she spoke in tired tone.

”Hey, Where are you kiddo? You haven’t called me since morning, Did you eat something? And what happened to you , Are you OK??”  So many questions altogether, Who else can be like this, it was her Mother.

 Mothers are great, if you do not take her calls, the only thing she can imagine is you are in a big trouble and needs her support. People get irritated but she is the one who never stops loving you, without any condition.

“Yes, mum, I had” She replied in same tired note.

“Why are  you sleeping, beta??” Asked her mother.

“No mummy, I am just very tired” She replied.

“You definitely didn’t eat anything yet, that is why this way” Mother said.

“No, mum, I went to market, had a DOSA and Tea” She said.

“And milk?? You always skips it, and with whom you had gone to market?? You came back very early from the market.” Mother got curious.

“I went alone, My heels broke off, so I came back early” She hesitate and than again the whole picture was on front of her, How he lifted her and how her dupatta got destroyed .

“Oh, the heels you bought last weekend, I told you that one was very expensive, you should have not purchased that one” Mother started in Woman tones again.

“yeah, Its ok now, I shall talk to you later, I am feeling sleepy, I shall call you at night.” She got irritated
“OK” Her mother hanged up.

“Oh, now she gets angry” she thought,” its all because of that guy…..because of him all this has happened, even mum has got angry” .

“I must have told mum, but how could I told that he lifted me on that busy road”

“His wife was very proudly, how she was staring me, as if I was gonna ate her husband or something…but his car was very  nice, I like white long cars…Her wife must  be proud of that car and him, But he was too young to marry to that lady, but yeah, she was pretty, prettier than me?? ”

 Thinking all this she noticed the duppta lying on the bed,  “Look, what he has done to my duppata, Mean guy !! What if, it was her wife’s dupatta than??Huh…these married guys….””

“Knoch-Kncok”  Some one knocks at the door.

“Hey, Moti, Open the door, quick” A voice comes.

“coming , coming” She replied.

“Oh, here comes the preksha, May be I can tell her the things and how mean that guy was!!” she thought.
“I have a exciting news for you, We got a party invitation , and guess what, party is with IMA guys…the cadets. I know you gonna love it.” Giggles

“Oh, really??? With whom we are going? How did you get the invitation??” She asked

“Oh, come on, Its because of my PG aunty, a new lady came to live with us, she has her husband in IMA, and its day after tomorrow, on Dec, 25 ”Preksha replied.

“Great, than it would be safe to go.” She thought and replied.

“Yeah, now  we should go for the shopping, come on. .tomorrow morning we shall go for the shopping, now I have to go, aunty was calling me , I just came to inform you, wanted to save mobile balance.” Preksha wrinkles and went away.

“oh……listen….”  . “She went…”  she mummeries .

“Now, whom to tell, but anyway, I should concentrate on the IMA party now.” She thought.

She was living in the residential area in front of IMA dehradoon, and she was a big fan of the IMS people. She used to notice  a lot them . She was in love with their courtesy and manners .About this, IMA party , she was really very excited to attend. Forgetting about the incident she, continues to plan about the party.

Later…

She dressed up in a blue dress, looking like a fairy, had a small clutch bag in one hand. She came out as a car was waiting for outside to take her to the party.

She loved it, as those people comes to pick up  and treats you like princess. She was at seventh heaven.
It was a lovely evening, cold, with beautiful stars in the sky. She came out , standing on the filed side, she was looking like a  diva. A care across the road was waiting for her. She was walking towards the car. That was a while long car, BMW, there was a dim light inside the car.She couldn’t notice much. A guy came quickly from inside the car to open the car for her, she gave a smile with a sweet thanks and sat down on the from seat.  She realized she was very nervous as if she was going on a date.

She realized the sent in the car was a bit familiar to her, suddenly the guy comes to the driver seat, they both notice each other and with wide, open mouth and eyes, she shouted—“ YOU ??????????”

Yes, it was him !!

anything can happen on the middle of the road - Part 2

“Oh My God….He is carrying me , on the road….in the market……How dare him…..Come on it can not  happen to me……it’s a dream , yes it is…NO..NO…seriously, I am in the air…..Oh, why, it happens to me….”  

So many things were going in her mind, and suddenly she got furious about this his act.she thought that How dare he could lift  her like this. He was a total stranger.

This is what happens when you actually try to help a girl. 

She was just thinking, getting angry about this inside her, without any eye- contact with him , she was just lost in her thoughts. Suddenly her thougth process moved to her weight, “Am I too heavy for him to lift?? NO, I guess, I am not” 

Girls are always continuous about their weight, even in most unwanted or critical situation , they would have a whole different concern to think about. 

She was still in her thought, when he stopped by a car, A Long white BMW. 

”Oh that nice”…A quick though came in her mind , when finally she was landed on the ground. 

The Guy, Opened the back door of car  for her with great courtesy and said “Get in and relax, I am gonna look for someone who can repair your heels” , on a serious note. He looked so intense and tough, she was helplessly starting at him, unable to read anything in his eyes. She was watching him with wide eyes and nodded. 

She was not anyways great in reading eyes, she never understood the concept of reading eyes, how could eyes speak. But just now , she had felt the power , control and care. 

He putted her bag and goggles on the front seat, Took her heels, closed the door gently and went away.

 He was carrying her heels and stuff in his hands, she just noticed that she had forgotten her own stuff. She was just sitting like a statue and though that why she went  blank in front of him.

”” I should have scolded him to carry me,and ask why he had lifted me in front of everyone” , but again this thought was beaten by another important issue , that those heels were purchased  from a  very expensive branded showroom and was in guarantee period, “Crap, that Mochi would destroy my heels and than show room people won’t exchange it..Why is he going to get it repair”

 and again to put more fire on,  she had noticed her look in the mirror , got distracted, and focused on her appearance, started maintaining her dupaata and hairs. " Why all this was happening to her today", she thought with a sad feeling, while putting her hairs in a pony. 

She took a deep breath after ensuring her looks,she was relaxing , putted her head back to seat,  noticed the nice smell in the car, looked around, it was an expensive car and of, course well maintained. 

People outside were busy in their own life,she again tried to analysis and started to think that probably  she should not  worry about the incident that had happened just before 10-15 minutes,  A boy lifted a girl and took her to his car…

”Uff, this is too much, This all had  happened because of this GUY , He shouldn’t have lifted me, In Dehradoon like small city , this is gonna be a gossip topic for everybody.….And, Because of him I missed my breakfast…"

"I was happy and fine..Why my heels broke off, I am gonna sue this company …How embarrassing  it was…..And I Couldn’t say anything’”  and when she was making face and thinking , Suddenly Door open, and again she gets  blank and just stares on him with her wide eyes. He entered in the car, closed the door, , putted her heels down and approach to take her feet. 

Before she could understood or respond what was  going , another back door of car gets open, and A Lady drooped so many shopping bags on the seat, besides her, lady noticed her with a shocked face. 

 Lady was very fair with sharp features , wearing  a green colored lovely saree, she loved the saree and her jewelry very much, before the lady could understood, GUY was done with the heels. She had her heels in  feet now, she looked at her heels as he said “”Look, its fixed, you can walk easily, .,  She listened to him clueless.

 The lady was watching both of them with curiosity and tried to understand who she was and what  the matter was, as soon as she could say anything, a servant boy came with more shopping bags and the lady got stuck with it. She again heard his voice, He said, ”Come out, now try to walk and check is it OK for you?” she obeyed him, came out of the car slowly , with her eyes down started walking. As She moved forward to go on her own way, guy came running  “Hey , where are you going, your stuff”,. She stopped, took a sign, cursing herself, turned back, went to the car's back seat, but She couldn’t find anything inside, pops out and sees him with a smiling face with holding her stuff in his hands. She shut the door and took the things from him, moves her eyes and proceeded.

 A strange sound comes into picture and then she noticed, her duppata is stuck with the car door and its torn.  Now that was last thing she wanted , her lovely, Blue duppata was dead.She was screaming inside, with tears in her eyes. Guy was trying to stop her, finally, he caught her hand, signaled not to move and gave her duppata. 

She saw that The lady on the other side of the car was watching them , and  few people around too. People selling kulfi’s and balloons were also the witness that she had waste her dupatta and was almost crying.

 It was the unluckiest day for her. She collected the duppata, tried to maintain her composer ,  had a look at him, and ran away....

Love,

Part 1 - And when she thought it was going to be just like other day..

Starting a novel, gonna post part by part..

Here we go with part 1, read, enjoy and fall in love.....

She was walking on that Busy road like a Princess…..Her Blue colored Duppata was waving in the air, she was very happy and proud of her self. she specially got dressed in the Indian outfit to go to market on Sunday, Her mother got her this Blue chuidaar and she couldn’t find the occasion to wear this one. Today when she woke up it was a pleasant winter morning and when she turned on her playlist, it played her favorite  song, all this was enough to make her mood, So she decided to dress in a killer way, to go out and have a yummy breakfast.

After the bath, when she was looking for a  dress to wear, suddenly she noticed the Blue chudidar and quickly decided to put on. She had  long , smooth and luxurious  silky hair, she left it open,wore blue stone, stone earrings , single pearl pendent, her favorite blue heels, which she bought last weekend and there,  she was really looking like a fabulous Indian beauty.  Usually she doesn’t dress up in the Indian outfit, so it increases the curiosity of people around her and of course she was looking like an Indian Diva this way.

With handbag in one hand, and big brown goggles, as soon as she went out got her first compliment from her Landlady, she thanked with a smile and proceed .She knew she gonna grab a hundred of attentions today , and that was the thing she wanted, anyways.

She decided to walk to reach her favorite  restaurant to have her breakfast, ever thing was fine but suddenly  “Aah……Oh ….Hey Bhaggu……what  crap” that was her heels , it broke off and she fell down on the person who was beside him,she clutched his shirt and was struggling with her heels, standing on one feet.

Yes, It was a total scene . She was continuously looking and checking with so much irritation to her heels, still holding the guy’s shirt, with all of her hairs on her face, it was also creating problems to her. Suddenly she realised she was holding some guy for all this period of time, she turned up, removed hairs from her face and saw the person who was supporting her.

Oh , that was a boy….looking at her with a cunning smile……!!

“oh, what ……” She thought , she had  a straight face, so many things going in her mind. should she leave  his shirt…”On god, I am holding him so tightly…..looks  like going to torn his shirt….” .”Oh crap, what I have been into “ , and she left the boy’s shirt .

she was falling down  because of no support , but the guy was so alert , he caught her, her duppata was now on him, he was holding her back and said..”Do not panic,We can fix this.”

With a sweet smile and humbleness in his eyes. He took her bag, asked her to remove the heels and removed her gogs from her face .

And what???  Seriously??  She realized, She was in the air, in his arms !!

He was carrying her, taking her somewhere.she was completely stunned and shocked, with her open mouth,she couldn’t say anything.

He was heading towards  to his car that was in the parking are, just 6-7 mtrs away from the footpath….. 

Kids with gadgets –going to Olympics games ??

Yesterday, my land lady bought Samsung tab 3.

I was resting in my room when younger daughter of my land lady who studies in class 3rd returned home with his dad . They had gone for shopping in evening for something very special to them and the thing was – SAMSUNG Tab 3 !! She showed tab to me with hyper excitement and of course her whole family knew nothing about it, for example it needed micro sim to operate.

Well, that really made me think hard, where today’s culture is going , of course it is none of my business , they can afford it, they bought it and are happy, but we cannot neglect the tendency and up bringing parents are giving to kids in metro cities.

Of course  to give you reason behind my concern  are many.

My land lady lives with her two kids, one elder son , studies in class 4th and younger daughter, I mentioned above. She comes from some small village near Nagpur and is less educated, had got married at the age of 16 I suppose. Her husband is lecturer in some government poyltechical near in Malvan. She owns 2BHK  in Mumbai, a nice car and other luxuries things at home. Her kids studies in a nice fancy school in vashi , she says she stay here, far from her husband for the sake of her kids education and development.

Now, why I am concern about buying them a tab3, right??

Well, each day she creeps about the daily expenses her kids makes her do, money for every day project they demand, to participate in competition, stuff they need to won those competition, preparing classes, dresses and much more, list is endless.  Apart from the annual school fee and food expenses, she daily spends more than 500rs ( roughly might be more) on both of them , and one cannot  imagine their tantrums say it in the mall or on the road.

Her daughter shouts all the time, insults her, lies to her, never go out to play but still get everything, and same is the case with the son. They have a nice PC in the house on which they spend hours.
This is the story of every house in Mumbai actually, now one fine day I carried my tab 2 to home and her kids saw that and started demanding for the thing. And now they have got it too, which her mother of course won’t use, actually doesn’t know how to use, her kids just going to play on that and she won’t even be able to supervise them as she doesn’t herself know about the technology, and her poor husband has got nothing. In fact, none of them need to have tablet, but still they own it for no reason.

Or may be the reason is mother’s effort to show off in the society, or maybe she wants her kids to have latest things and updated or god know the reason, but its arise a very important  question that what Indian parents are doing with their kinds, actually with our kids?? Those kids going to grow up like that with no sense of money, or saving or importance of things, and one can imagine our future.

Those kids has no interest in music or talent for that matter and their mother forcefully puts them and takes them to classes, I don’t understand the logic at all, it just is serving her show off purpose nothing lease.
In the growing year, when I child understand the basic concept of life and develop his/her character which he forever going to keep in the society is just ruined now-a-days.

Giving, unnecessary expensive things in hand, not teaching them the root concepts and moral is how unfortunate we all are seeing at the moment.

India has only one thing to proud upon is , its culture and morals, which if we talk about moral, foreigner follows way more than us now, and parents now are failing in teaching kids basic good habits. Once parents knew everything about their kids, they get them best basic education at home it self, while eating, reading, talking or even sitting idle.

Kids had respect towards teachers, now Google just tell them information of everything but meaning of nothing. They judge things wrong because they do not the difference between right and wrong but sees it from their perspective which is often selfish and tries to judge everything as they don not have sense of respect or willingness to learn.

Children are lost in the world of TV commercials, computers, gadgets and brands, but left with on sense or moral , sad but true !!

Love,
Priyam

Yes, I Love him !!

" Don't You think If I were wrong I'd KNOW IT? "

           Human resournces department"

" I don't always crack jokes, but when I do BAZINGAA "

Getting it?  Of course you are, Its my Love , the greatest minds of our times, the Sheldon cooper !!

The king of nerd, Prof.Cooper is a fiction character in the sit com, The big bang theory as the name suggest it based upon the science plot, in which 4 geeks and one waitress play.

Professor Sheldon cooper is the most arrogant, most nerd, exceptionally intelligent, with the highest IQ level character, which don't understand sarcasm.

To give you some background, Actually the story was written about how highly intelligent people find difficulties in daily life, how do they co-up with day to day activates and with other normal human beings.

Main character of the sit com is Sheldon cooper , who is the most annoying too, as he doesn’t feel comfortable in human presence but himself and normal people life.

Well, the character is legend according to me, I have never been a fan of anybody or anything but now I write ‘I love you shally” kind of messages to the Jim parson’s twitter account.
 
Yes, Jim parsons is the actor who plays the Sheldon cooper in the big bang theory. I haven’t seen such a performance where you cannot even imagine if it is a fiction character and not an actual personality.

His performance has the power which I should compare like turning  a person from pessimist to optimist , that such a bar can be set. and, can you believe, he is 40 years old??

One cannot neglect the plot, story, dialogues and direction of course, but the performance is such that seeing him in real life too, you cannot get over him as Sheldon, mind doesn’t accept him to be Jim parson.


For all other movies, we watch an actor in certain and after some months may be, we get over it but here is not the case, you believe he is a existing scientist who is actual in that university and cannot drive.
I have like 6 times have seen all the season but still cannot get enough of it.

Sheldon is very robotic when it comes to daily routine. He has clothes, under garments as per days, even his meals depends upon which day of week it is, of course he has certain , timely bathroom routines also.
He has  various disorders , among which Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is one, he has to complete every single task he starts. #Jim Parson

On the other side, he is a child, he obeys what his mom says, or anyone who behaves like his mom. Along with that he plays all the child games, and of course he madly loves Trains. He promised not to do drugs while leaving from Texas , so he doesn’t even drink coffee.

Although, he was crazy like anything in the beginning before he starts living with his best friend and room mate lenord, now the character seems to adopt human rules and is  less irritating and social adaptable.

Well, I have lots of things to tell you about him, but things are best unsaid.

You can watch it at CBS or download from internet or buy DVD, if you find it interesting or like nerd ( I could relegate to myself) , try and watch !!

Love,
Priyam

IT interview experiences- 2

So,  here I continue my story –

So, As I told you I reached there at 8.30, so I decided to had a cup of coffee and some breakfast, and on pune station, I tried to search for a nice restaurant, I was actually expecting CDD, but as long as I could see, there was nothing but only one nice board with ‘CAFÉ’ I could see, so I decided to go there. Escaping all the drivers, conductors, auto walas, I made to to the restaurant, and my whole world crashed, I had actually entered and the sight was horrible.  In short it was a restaurant for drivers and not for an alone girl.

Anyways, focusing on interview, I played for not toughing the breakfast and coffee and went to the office.
Well, in the first sight it was nice looking but reception was very slow and unprofessional, they asked me few questions and asked me to sit. Meanwhile I got call from the manager whom I had my interview with informing that I might be in wrong blinding and it was HR mistake which they often repeat with candidate. She asked me to tell HR that I need to go to another office, well, they all were useless and I had to walk to their other office.

Well, time comes and I get to go for interview, and manager was pretty understanding, professional and nice, everything went good, and she asked same question also mentioned it was just that they wanted to meet me face to face rest all was ok !! She told me about policies , my job work and offered me join for coffee , on the way to café she asked me to contact HR and complete paper work , she herself tried her number.
Well, we discussed and she left for a meeting and HR told me there was no paper work as of now.
I came back in a positive experience and before 2 weeks I came to know after several follow up that they have hired another person, this is the Interview review of BMC software pune.
Another one I got call from LinkedIn network, from a manger from some DW company in Bulgaria, and same after all the process and positive feedback, they say they are not hiring at the moment from India.

But the point t I learned is, India Managers and HR are not ready to hear honest and true answers, however in total opposition foreigners s actually respect and admire the true answers.
It’s been several months and I haven’t got any job. Indian Its are in profit, anybody can tell , but while hiring crying still about global economy crisis.


And a new trend is to give just 30-35% hike on current salary, say it notice period is too much, or you have already resigned and no option in hand.

Well, It golden period has passed and now just for any other private job, we are working where honestly and dedication has no meaning.  Nobody respect or recognize an employee who just work to learn and explore responsibilities rather than just need a US visa to earn dollars instead consider him/her a fool, HR has become lying machines and management is behind their own promotions.

Priyam

IT interview experiences

Its TGIF !!!

Every creature in It is usually very happy on this day of week. Now-a-days so many cartoons showing emotions of an employee on various days of week is quite popular.

I am also suppose to be happy, but actually I not that much as I should be.

I have a reason, now a days, I am looking for a job change, no I won't tell the reason, or answer the popular interview question "Why are you looking for a change?"  I am tired of giving answer, anyways, I can share about my recent interview experience and trust me these are not tetchy or boring, YOu want to read it.

Its been almost 8 months, i have started looking for change and still got no offer, yes it is demoralizing and questions my ability and skills.

Well, here you go, when i started the first call i got was from Accenture via facebook, yes they do call, if you send your resume on their facebook id and it matched to requirement, but that day one dancing competition fell on the same time and i had asked them to schedule on telephone. It was going good, i answered all the questions and till date i am waiting for update.

Second i went to Deloitee, yes the big four firm, i was very impressed with the system, a super senior took my interview and saying i have less exp and notice period is too much rejected.

Now, i went to a drive in pune, Capgemini, started at 5 from mumbai, wasted whole day in that fish market and got no result in hand.

Now, I am contacted by BMC software pune, they asked me to give first round to US guy, we talked, he was senior manager, he explained about the job and everything , i got call for next round also, I thought to do some research, the lady i was going to talk to happens to be retired US army personnel, well, the time came, i dialed the so call toll free number ( Indian HR said it was free, but it cost me 600 bugs, which i came to know when i received my phone bill) , and it went like piece of cake, she asked me technical questions as well HR questions and it was splendid.

Now i get to call at their Pune office for F2F interview, so, by looking at past track i was hoping for a positive result, so i went, again i had start at 5 am  from Mumbai, interview as scheduled at 10am and i reached there at 8 am itself.

Well, HR had no idea that i was traveling from Mumbai and she called me at 9.30 and said, "oh ,you are very early"....

Love,

FaceBook clean up...Would you try??

Last published post was in April, well,  despite of my resolutions and self commitment, I couldn’t keep it up, anyways, its never late to starting again…

I share with you all, what I did recently, it was Facebook friend list clean up…

Yes, sounds picky, isn’t it?? 

What I did is, one fine day, no actually night, when I was trying hard to sleep (which I mostly complain about, because I don’t get enough and regular sleep, and which of course results into health issues), but still despite of closing my eyes, was scrolling down my facebook page, reading unnecessary posts, reading those “Add me”, “ you look cute and sexy” kind of messages , ignoring pings from people in my friend list,  suddenly , I went to friends section and started removing people with whom I do not talk to, reply to their message, not interested in their posts, or life in that matter , all facebook pages that  I had liked once and now was suffering and sharing the pain and time wastage of their admin with me, all kinds of group which  I was a member of, and now which just bring me friend request with no mutual friends.

I cleaned it up that mess, I did it all !!!

I joined facebook, after passing out college, when I was waiting for my joining like any other engineering graduate , had so called – “Nothing to do” , but I would admit it was not the only excuse, I used to use orkut in college, but orkut’s era had ended by the time .

So, I joined it, and what I only posted was, lyrics of any cheesy hindi song ( which I still do ) , my college friends were also free like me, and I had 700+ friends, friend request you can easily imagine, and on each post used to get 100+ likes and so comments( not kidding), well until I got my joining, instead of doing something meaningful, that’s how I wasted my time.

Now, slowly, time has changed, but the amount of wastage of time I spend has not reduced, even in office, even if I don’t see it, I keep it open …

We all know the negative sides of it. People in your friend list, whom you know in real life, they are just stalking, or spying and enjoys your miserable life , get jealous when you go onsite, when your get married, when you had fight with your Bf/GF, and each and every thing, but won’t say ‘Hi’ in real life, won’t call, you, won’t help you and Bitch about you.

People, who would be online themselves would ping you and ask you why are YOU online? I mean, really??  And most ridiculous is, being an Indian girl, you should not be online when its dark.
People who call themselves so called open minded , would except you to be online, and then would propose you, if you don’t accept or talk, you are a BITCH.

I mean, dude, being online at 2 am in the morning on facebook, doesn’t mean girl is “Available” for you !!
Apart from those national issues, recently happened, with face book, being listed to NYC, science research about facebook  depressions, mark zukberg’s earning and all, here is my tiny , simple issue, which affects my life, and that IS important, so now I get 1-2- sensible post, news within 3—4 hours, not more than 5 people online at a time, and whom I can happily ping and ask about life, and share my stuff.

I made it simple, no body would bother about my relationship status, I won’t get likes on my profile pic, won’t get comments, won’t come to know how many girls from my college and school got married and with whom, where did they go for honeymoon,  but may be I shall get a life and sound sleep.

Try it…

Love ,
Priyam

So,I am back again...

Wee, was kind of busy last month, r you can say was really lazy to write.

Anyways, I have got a new excitement in life - My first Smart phone.

And I gotta tell you they are really smart, at the second day itself , got to use it.

So, I got a big surprised, actually I was shocked more than calling it surprised, a giant , while color Tab was in my hand.

I am not a big FAN of smart phones, I dun even like phones, generally gadgets to have, I fell so tech around them, use it at its minimum when its required.

SO, all these years I have been ignoring , but I got a SAMSUNG TAB 2 as a gift, and as I used it and started liking it, nice browsing experience , I must say.

Lets not talk about technical details of it, as you can read it anywhere, I shall explain you my experiences.

I got it on Thursday, and we has a party planned on Friday, we left in a auto and reached at thane station and forgot the address of the venue, we called and called other people , and nobody responded, then suddenly it strikes to me, I have a smart phone in my hand with #g connection activated, and yes, how silly it sounds, i searched it and we left for the party !!


I know it a very small incident but now, I read TOI, some GK bytes too every day.

Well...these all are about 4 days of experience, I shall share more later...

take care and LOVE !!

The Sugata Mitra

Yesterday, Blog page wasn't working for some reason, and I couldn't write, waited for hours and ended up in watching Harry potter and half blood prince on UTV action, with the little boy of landlady.

He was preparing water balloons for holi, and I was checking the blog and movie, well, it was 1 'o clock in the morning when I finally went to sleep, and of course got very much late for work this morning.

I wanted to talk about my grandfather yesterday, well, He is very special, but today morning, i got very very upset because of my OSC, Just imagine you are coming , running to office and call your OSC, and for no reason he/she starts shouting about nothing, whole day goes bad in that case , well I too answered him rudely and ended up the call.

Ahh, but yesterday Somebody told me about a very important person, who I am sure how many Indians know about, but we all should know, he is better than SRK, Salman bhai or Aish, etc etc .

OK, so, I just heard one thing about him and I became a huge FAN, well, I seriously haven't liked anyone before in that regrad.

He is Sugata Mitra , a teacher, yes as simple as that, the things we ever have heard about respecting teachers, how knowledgeable they are, how they can change your life, how good a leader they can be , he is the living legend , living example of it.

With a great history, academic records, Passed out from IIT, worked in USA in research, I won't add all the details here, as everything is available at wikipedia page of his profile, AS many people find it boring too.
Also, main moto of the article is to check the awareness about him among us.

I would like to tell you in simple worlds, as my friends told me, he went to a slum, placed a computer and left it there for months, when he returned, those uneducated, illiterate kids there were surfing Internet, can you believe it?

Again, he placed the same computer thing in south India, kids there were able to speak English but in their south Indian ac sent, he installed a speech converter, which only reorganise uk accent, now can you believe after a month, kids were talking in uk accent.

He has  won the 1 million prize from TED Talk for year 2013 for the same thing.


And, the amazing thing is, his experiment was the inspiration for the book- Q&A, which was the story of slumdog millionaire too.

Well, the point is, such people who are the real heroes should be know, giving you URLs for his website- Pl read and share !!

Love to all the readers!!

Wanna hear the shoes story??

Have you  ever noticed  a little girl/ boy walking on the street, in the mall, park , holding a finger of his/her mom or dad?? Of course you have, what so great about it, well have you heard those beep sounds when they walk, the beep sound coming out from their shoes, Pee Pee Pee Pee, now got the point??

Well, I personally don't like kids but i like them watching with their parents, cute faces, cute behaviour and those damn pretty shoes with funny sounds which always make me smile, no,  actually it makes me laugh.

Today , while walking in the evening, I saw one another kid with those sandals and that reminded me a story, the story why they always make me smile and force me to remember something very important from the past.

Well, I am very shot in height, hardly 5 foot, and people often teases me for this and calls me a kiddo, the story goes with it. Actually to be honest I have been lucky in this matter, very few people and very few times , had  teased  me about my height, well, that is a another story.

Now to the mail one, during my B.tech in Dehradoon, there was my classmate from Pithoragagh, Mr. Jai raj Bora, well very studious, bright and with a very pleasent, warn behaviour. everybody used to like him, In my initial 2-3- years, I haven't talked to him very much, but later somehow we became very good friends,after he joined our gang of group, which actually i don't remember how was formed.

Well, all I remember is he became the important part of our group, and we realised when we once went to pizz hut with out him, and didn't enjoy the pizza and outing as well.

Main point about him was he used to make fun of everyone , pull legs in a sweet manner with the sincerity.

And, yes, he used to call me a kid, and started teasing me , comparing  and telling me that I should wear those pee shoes.

But he is a sweetheart, found of food, his plates in restaurants after the meals shall be like nobody has ever eaten in that. Once I was upset and I shouted at him for not giving my notebook back on time, he made very cute cartoons on the first page, with those shoes and wrote me happy message.

Ahha nd yes, hygiene, he would always be fresh looking, clean and god knows how many times used to take bath in a day. In the last year of engineering, We all shifted from hostel to the PG's and because all wanted a good place to live happened to live near by places in the same soceitlyis, it was in fron of FRI and IMA .

In evenings, we should to have walks to eat chowmins and sometimes just to chat, and one my friends always used to goto his house and from outside she used to shout at him, and always he used to be in bathroom, taking a bath.

But he is a strong hearted man, with strongest will  power and power to survive, we all unfortunately had an terrible accident, in which he suffered most of the seriously in uries,  resulting him to be in ICU for months , , head operations, when everybody had joined their first job, started earnings, he was still re covering, but he took his time, he flighted and came out as a winner.

I still remember the scene when he was lying down on the road bleeding from his head, but still responding to me, talking, awake !! I never saw such power again,

Also, when I went to see him in ICU, what a emotional moment it was, he was complaining about the injury marks on his hand, and asked me for juice.

Well, He is successfull man now, working in Dell, as warm and sweet as always he was, always ready to help others, listen others, and with lots of friends.

Now, this is the story why I always smile hearing those sounds, and shall always remember my sweet friend. I wish him all the best in life and hope he shall call me on his marriage, ahh, I won;t talk about his dream girl here.

All the Best and love you to all the readers !!

The Mills & Boon according to me !!

In every book store of any mall, there is a special tiny rack where you can see the small, thin, blue or pink colored book, with a impossibly handsome and one of the most beautiful girl in a romantic posture.

A pretty girl, with ear phones , a cute spectates on her eyes, dressed in colorful top and tight pair of smart jeans with designer shoes, sitting in a coffee shop, lost in a whole different word, a pretty smile on her face and eyes on a small book !

Still no guess, yes, it is Mill & Boons, the king , queen, No actually Goddess of the romantic books !!

I have been introduced to this world by my aunt, she was a doctor and with those heavy medical books, she had many copies of this treasures too. I was in 6th grade, couldn’t understand the book at that time , but once I joined college , I gradually got addicted  to it.

There has been a golden history of the publication, founded in 1908 by Gerald Rusgrove Mills and Charles Boon in UK. You can read the whole thing on wikipedia about its criticism mainly because of repeating plots, the inevitability of their happy endings, and a simple writing style.

Now, who doesn't want a smile, a dream, happiness, imagination, We all do , right? It just serves the purpose. If one is hungry one eat, one is thirsty one drinks, one the hurt one cries, one wanna imagine romance and a perfect life one does. !! What is wrong with it? Nothing, its just lies in others mind, if one person is realistic and practice not necessarily other should also be the same.   And Their main target is  girls, they say its nothing in her life , so she read it. Girls are kind, soft and sweet in nature, and they do imagine the world to be a better place to live and also try for it, unfortunately in today's time its not successful but they can use other means to experience it, and that is those novels.   A girl experiences all the phases of her life passed or yet to be passed in the 200 pages of book, with those characters she imagines herself, and thanks to the writers she is never betrayed, broken hearted or disappointed, yet she is more hopeful towards her life and even she doesn't get she put all her goof efforts to make it one.   There are thousands of girls who imagines the or partners in Evey single line, pictures him and love him, it obviously set some higher expectation to him but its not an impossible of illogical thing to fulfill.  If you want the queen , you have to behave life a King first, fair enough?   Some people even says girls can not watch a porn but read the stuff, and M&B is full of physical contacts. Wow, now as we all know the things are obvious and part of life, unavoidable, what is better , to see anyone doing some rubbish? or imagining only you special on in the situation? Even if the fact is true, still she imagines her special one and not like that dirty stuff which everybody know serves what purpose.   Now again, A simple distraction from the current world, which gives you smile , hope and Chance to create you own little perfect world, or being in the real world, with out any hope of getting it better because you have no inspiration?   Whatever, opinion differs from person to person but the truth is LOVE is eternal, its the things like birth and death, shall always be there and we all shall be affected by it and shall love the things which teaches us to believe in it .   Well, they have various series, Passion , romance, morden etc etc for various kinds of stories - read http://www.millsandboon.com/    

   

No LIFT DAY @ Office

I was running towards my floor to swipe my card as soon as possible, I was late, even I had promised myself to come on time, still in the morning, I Slept, gave myself some silly excuses and slept.


I use lift once only from ground floor to first floor and take the stairs, WHY?? Well,

1. Security at the first floor podium checks the bag, if you take stairs, you encounter them and they shall call you, Ma’am bag checking please, but if you take life, it would leave you somewhat in the corner of the space, and can’t immediately see you.

2. Almost all the managers and their boss takes the life, so if you are late, fairs chances are to meet them in life, and you can imagine their cunning smile, they themselves come late but who cares !! Actually once my director was in the same lift…

3. Most people doesn’t take this life…its not fancy u know ;-)



So, Today I was running towards it and I see this poster above the buttons, NO LIFE DAY today!!!

And all my day started becoming worse in my head, maybe I would meet any manager, maybe she would take my bag and I would be late to swipe and blab la bla..Anyway I had to take stairs, I went and like a kangaroo, hiding my bag I crossed the security and took stairs again...

Now, why I am telling you all this is, no life day? Seriously?? I mean why even you built them at first place? You want to carry heavy things upstairs, build a separate one somewhere for that purpose only, and hey, I am talking about offices where 3-4- floor only exist, not about the Mumbai’s buildings, which have 30 floors.

I mean this is as ridiculous as, oh gosh ii don’t have words how ridiculous it is!!

First you, yourself uses a worthless things, they take you upstairs, while GOD has given you two nice legs. Then, you over use it and then complain about it, moreover what about the people who spend hours/days in camplain about no life things, advising about the things, even complaining about the things.

And we easily can find those girls who daily wear those extra high heels and then have no option to use the lifts, I mean anybody can tell/think about the lifts and of course about those shoes also. Not only that , because they find it difficult to move even a inch, at the y signal people in life to hold it for her because she hardly walk towards the life within normal time slot.

Well, you may find it I am angry and blurring about it but no, we have to understand the actual scenario, and count the things which are causing trouble and which are not.



I never could figure out why all the management people takes the life, time saving may be? I bet it hardly saves time in waiting for the life to come to you. And those are the people who complain most about the issues caused by it.

Well, Try it at you office, you may actually find a good prank in it too.



All the best!!

Lunch !!

I wrote the whole post about the LUNCH and accidently deleted the whole thing, 




But I shall write again, that’s called the spirit. 

Yeah, so I am talking about LUNCH, note here, it’s not about FOOD, but about lunch.



I have no idea about the people in other countries but in INDIA, lunch is very important for different kind of people, depending upon their profession, actually I have seen a mail with pics of several labor sitting on the top of the building eating their lunch calmly, however if the slip a bit could end their lives immediately, so it must be important there as well.

Now, coming back to Indian lunch, in government offices, sub ordinates or peon brings the officers lunch ,and they eat at their cabins with some of their friends, co-workers, which also brings the lunch with different dishes and offers his/her boss to eat , no why it’s a total different matter, but yeah it is very important, . Now, they rate their wives or mothers about their lunch, quality, taste, ingredients.



Same way, labor people eat with their groups, shop keeper eats at his/her shop, so many examples



But I work in an IT company, I can tell you about an IT canteen, and the environment of canteen.

Starting from my level, almost all the IT employees lives away from home in some metro city, and experiences the variety of food issues, they miss ghar ka khana, mummy ka khana.

Some lives with the friends appointing a cook, some cook themselves and this is a very rare case, some eat canteen food, as IT appoints good vendors in the campus with variety of food, and on reasonable rates.

I also have started cooking myself because of health issues plus I am a pure vegetarian Brahmin and also I hate when somebody touching my food, you know strict hygiene issues.

At my level, my co-orders who lives away, first taking male co-workers doesn’t bring lunch because their cook only cook dinner, now they eat at canteen commenting on taste and quality of food and those who lives with parents doesn’t want to eat home food, ahh…. Know insane, but ok, only 1% of them bring lunch from home and which their friends eat.



Now talking the girl’s scenario, well, they can’t wake up in morning to prepare lunch, if they do; they spend the time in makeup- yes, true story!! ;-)

Long working hours makes them too tired to cook dinner also, again, they don’t cook themselves, however I know girls are supposed to cook, as it puts them on the top of the marriage material list, also they are most demanded. But to be realistic, mostly are on diet and eat fruits or salad, some share her friend’s lunch and some eat at canteen. But here who lives with their parents, they bring lunch with various dishes and shall offer you to eat as well.

Above this level comes the married employees, some doesn’t bring lunch, and I always wonder do they love their wives that much to get up in morning and cook for them, or is it wives doesn’t cook for them?

I see a SARDAR ji, who was going to oven with a big bag and he brings 6 boxes of lunch, everybody including me was trying to find out what he has in those boxes.

Almost all the married employees bring their lunch and sadly most of them don’t share with you. 

Some actually do, but you have to be friends with them and that is somewhat difficult.

A level above this is of top level employees for them 5 start hotels cooks and serves at office, yeah I know worthless to talk about them

Well, my office has 3 canteens, each with 2 floors, plus 3 small stalls from CCD, moongizines and one more vendor, still people have complains about it, at lunch, they order the item and looks at the one who is already eating.

SOuthindian curses about not having dosa and rasam at lunch, Marathi one about pav bhaji, north Indian about rajma and Punjabi about chicken.

Why does "BOSS" shout?

One of my team member is on a status call, with the a huge groups of people from Pune, Mumbai, Banglore, Gandhinagar are on the call and there is one person who is leading it of course the BOSS !!




For initial some minutes it goes smoothly and suddenly, we hear raised voice, scolding , I remove my ear phones and goes to the person , so many people around also, gets distracted and gathers around, make bad faces, give 1-2- sarcastic comments , Everybody knew it was the BOSS who was shouting on so many people, insulting them, nagging and humiliating him , co-workers, comes, listens, comments and again go back to work.



This is common story of all the IT companies, as everybody know he is the BOSS , nobody says anything, comments or suggest, because may be he/she is the next .



But is it really just FINE with everybody or even should it be fine??



Forget about the reason but there is should be proper way to handle such situation, as they claim to be professional, shouldn’t there be such professional way for it?



Specially in India office culture, it is a common malady, they treat their boss as god, some for promotions, some for incentives, some for good relations, or some just for everybody is doing so they are following the culture.



However in my opinion, BOSS should be treated someone whom do you respect for his attitude, behavior, achievements, lessons, not some fearsome creatures whom you abused in his back.



But actually the thinking is such, the employee today is going to be future boss, and what ever he/has suffered , what ever they have seen they apply the same to their subordinate. Like, “SAAS bhi KABHI BAHU THI “



If you create a culture, you set and example, add new rules, everybody can avoid such things, I don’t think 2 hours anger management trainings can change a boss but the whole system has to change like “SINGHAM” 



Wish that all of us at their next stage, knowingly or not knowingly doesn’t become the same kind of HARI SADU !! AMEN !!

Why “ROAD” of success??

You take any example, quotes, statement, success is always termed in journey of success or road of success, and they say you are travelling?


Have you ever given any thoughts about why always it is compares to a journey?

Well, you might say one takes time to be successful, gets so many experiences etc etc...Fair enough!!

But if you see closely, it is really like a travelling experience, it is really like you are driving you car, scooter, or travelling by bus or walking on foot, don’t believe it?? 

Let me explain it to you, just imagine You want to make tea for you, and you are running out milk, so have to go to a shop to buy a packet of milk, not that is you temporary goal and you have achieve it to be successful in it.

Now, you and your wife is at home and you don’t want to go outside, so you shall ask you wife to bring it for you, no, I know you don’t dare to say this, and in any case she won’t get it for you. This is your first failure, you just don’t try first way to get it, just like to achieve anything you just imagine some options to get it and never work on that.

So, you are going yourself to get the milk, you have put clothes on and got the keys and ready to leave, and this took you 10 mins to get out, this can be count as you determination and initial stage of goal achieving process.

Now, you are out of the home and thinking about how to go to shop, which shop to go? Would you even get the milk at this time? Should you go walking? By your car or bike? You may not have car, or may have plenty of them including luxurious ones. These all things fall in deciding you strategy to achieve the thing.

In case, the shop is near and you decided to walk and it starts raining suddenly, here comes the trouble. Which falls in failure, may be you go back, or finds a shops is closed, then you go to other shops.



Like, there are so many similarities, like you don’t even decided a strategy before proceeding, you may have so many options that you don’t choose the right one, or you might not have even a single option, these all things matters and decided your success.



On your way, you may get friends, you stop by and chat, and that is the disturbance in the goal achieving process. But you cannot avoid it but handle it you way.

Here is also a point that, many people don’t even know driving, how do they go to their destination or achieve their goal if it is similar, then they hire the means, see, the local, government buses , office buses, Mumbai local, they are not actually only transport means but the means which takes you toward the success.



You are not going from home to office but going to achieve you goals and the mean tells weather you have achieved you previous goals or not.



But the most important things is , the smaller you goal is less is the benefits and more the problems, like in small area , there is more traffic issues, but when you goal is big,, you might find traffic at starting on road but later you won’t find much people, or maybe you shall drive alone at the high way.



Remember, Long High ways are often empty.

Reading or Meditating?

We all read something for those who run away from reading books, can't run away from BOSS's mail. :-) 


People read Mythological books, Novels, Fashion magazines , news papers , regular magazines, comic books, or anything else for that matter. So, the question arises here is why every person who reads the same material catches the different sense from it or like different things to read ??

Well, There is a fair reason to accept that it may depends on one's intellectual level, but what about the fact that same person reading the stuff more than once finds it different all the time?

For a logical answer we may say that It all depends on your current situation, you current state of mind, and even your current life phase. And, to support the fact we may add the reason, comics are often recommended by physiatrist when one is going through stress.

Now, here is an interesting fact that you may compare reading with meditation , which may give all the valid reasons and explanation regarding books, and all related topic to reading.

Starting from the questions which are Why many kids, or students doesn't like studying? Or why some students like one particular subject to read and excels it or why one grown up likes single type of books? Or even why hard work, focus gives you the better marks in exams?

The answer the crystal clear that reading/studying is a type of meditation.

They say books are you best friends, well i would say not even that but also they speaks, they create an aura around you, every word you read , you walk-in the internal layers of it, you can feel and enjoy it. One may enter to a whole new world, may experience total different things. As they say when you meditate , experience differs from person to person, same way happens to the reading, when you read , sense/meaning comes different to every body.

Now as many of us doesn't know the meditation and power of meditation same way, many doesn't know the reading, power of studying, and methods of studying. Ignorance of the real purpose is the main reason of the lack of interest in studying, how ever society have implied many alternative but valid reason with it like, schooling and qualifying for earnings means etc etc, which are failing .

Like meditation should be done under master supervision, same way teachers are appointed , a excel master can tell you the way how you should proceed and in which direction one should proceed, same way a teacher can guide how to read and what to read.

In the same way, how deep you can focus in meditation, decides peace of mind, in studying it decided your dept of knowledge.

Since the point you start getting peace of mind you try more harder in mediation to achieve moksha, in studying you starts achieving excellence in the subject.

Like there are no limited answers to the meditation and its impact, there are no limit of knowledge and one may find whole other aspect and dept.
