One more birthday!

Well This must be first birthday of my life in which I was so dead about. I mean dint feel with every passing day that some special day is coming. May be that is because of the country I m livin in and I knew that nothing special is goin to happen....

But in the night itself I was pleasantly surprised when my 2 roomates got me a wonderful and pampered me by asking me to cut that...That was really sweet on their part. I guess I had an idea about this at 10:00 PM 30th march nite itself when I heard them whispering something but rather behaving in a way that I am not interested in thier private chat and just letting the things go. I guess thats what most of us would do :-) Good start to the birthday...

Then I got almost call from everybody in my big joint family (total no. of calls were 9)which was really nice to know that all of them remembered my birthday...

As soon as i came to my office I was told that I would have to leave what I m doing right now and will have to fly to New York on a small assignment (2-3 months). That was all out of the blues was very sudden. Was actually elated when I came to know that Client has specifically given my name for this small assignment and they wanted me only there....That was kinda very honourable. I was obliged!!!Hopefully this would convince my manager for the promotion which I have been waiting for some time....

Its afternoon here n I dont know where I would treating my friends... Let us see where we go to chill out...Now we cant even plan for Friday as I wont be here till friday...

New York must be cool during this time. Its spring time and I suppose this is the best time to visit any place in US. But again it would b all alone.. Hope I find some company...Just praying for that....

Incomprehensible Situations

1. Missing a person who is sitting right next to u in the group....
2. Feeling lonely in the big crowd of friends....
3. Expectaions can lead to disappointments but they give pleasure as well.
4. Not to think about something about which you dont want to think but still just by thinking that u dont have to think abt that thing u are always thinking about the same thing.
5. Not to look at something where u dont want to look.
6. To read a girls mind

Any thoughts on this?

There can be more but I have just put down some which came to my mind.

Something is missing in life...

What is it? A good company? Just that or a good company of a girl...Well I am not particularly saying girlfriend...But a good friend who is girl. Please dont think while reading that its just not possible...A good friend need not necessarily be girl friend...Right! Ok no need to argue on that, its just what one feels...

The life seems to be full of monotonies...Ya I know I have been cribbing about that for some time but may be I am just not able to get out of it...I just wonder sometimes, can something like Blore happen once again...With so many good friends around...That masti, long chats on Bus stops, long rides on Hosur Road, Great bowling alleys where time would just flew, Shyam(our cook) ke haath ki chai, doston ke haath se chawal khana( I loathe using fingers to eat rice but love the taste when it is eaten from hands:-)), Late night movies, Police banging our door in the night due to too much of galata, Radio City 24 X 7, visiting friends place to watch match and then friend switching off the tv out of anger, falling for a friend in your group(nothing could be done, she is still going around with some guy :-( ), somehow find out topics and talk to her, find out the way so that we could sit behind her on her Kine:-), long discussions related to good and bad and ugly, games which we used to play like Pass Pass, class gossips and hadkaana and fighting, Late night jaagran for studies during exams, come out of the exam hall and say this was the hardest paper uni has ever prepared, cursing the leturers, going to theater hall and then make the sitting arrangement such that particular friend of ours could sit next to the girl he wants to ... and just goes on on on and on...

Is it ever possible to have same things ever in life? Tired of studying but this thot and yearn to earn more drives me sometime to pick up that sidey GMAT book and read. Dunno though when I m gonna appear for the test...God save me!!! I just thot of gettin philosophical here abt the god but then I dont want to digress from this topic...May be will get philosophical some other time..

I still remember some days in college life as well when I used to pray that when will this end and now here i m asking for those same days once again. Can we ever come out of this vicious circle? Can we ever be satisfied? But then somebody mite retort back saying that, the day man gets satisfied, he'll stop working towards better things in life? Strange actually! I feel there should be some point where we should be able to draw a line...

"Purani jeans aur Guitar,
Mohalle ki woh chat aur mere yaar,
Woh raaton ko jaagna,
subah ghar jaana kood ke deewar"

By Ali Haider is wat I was listening to yesterday and may be this is the reason I came up with this:-)

Work kills me

Its been a long time! Ya it has really been but then its been long days as well.
Just get enough time to breathe and today and I just had to give myself some
respite. And this is the best way of letting something out. Well almost! When u
dont have anybody around to whom u can talk to then what do u do? U write!

I have been working crazily for almost a month now for 13-14 hours a day. Its
grotesque! Life sucks!These are the thots which come to my mind when I have
to cook food after putting my ass down on my comfortable chair for 13-14 hours.
The worst part abt my job is it has no unexpected excitement and no remotely
interesting work. Not even "Change" which we say is the most static thing everywhere.
Sadly Software professionals (like me) all they want is money...Just cant deny the fact that
I m here for money and for no other reason.

Anyways there is atleast something to cheer about. My appraisal went very well
and my manager was exptectedly very happy with my work and has marked me
the best possible resource. Hopefully finally this time he'll deem me fit for the promotion.
Please pray! I'll be obliged.

Watch Terminal! Tom Hanks is arguably the best to portray such roles. Cool soothing and feel good movie.

Here is the food for thought....Why do we keep investing in shares and relationship even when we keep loosing? Any thots are most welcome....

Hopefull this is going to be a gr8 weekend. Going out for a party today night! Friend is getting engaged in the month of May....He is really elated...This is his Love cum Arranged Marriage...Can there be anything better happening for a bachelor?
