Taking charge of!

Now this friend of mine, who is expert in showing Shanpatti to me (That is why I call him 'Shana'), gone bonkers a few days ago after getting lost in the 'Mumbai ki bhid' with the mobile switched off. Dont even dare to ask "What happened"! You will get a grilling answer! (Words can grill too!) Being a manager in "Vendor development" department of an OEM, I started looking for the 'Root cause'! I discussed all solutions of the cause with my bro-buddy and his 'Good' friend.

The root cause: Mobile battery! Nah, it is not defective any more, The mobile was lost as I mentioned and so the new battery of smart phone is all rolling in the right place. The new battery has a condition, it has to be charged like any other battery and which is not accepted by Shane :D In simple language, he forgets to charge his mobile and so every three days we have to trace the otherwise a 'Vibrant' personality.Well, today when I post this, I must appreciate his efforts in charging his battery properly since a few days.

Solutions: Keeping mobile charged. In case of my dear buddy it doesn't work. So Ms.Bubblegum and Mr.Bro-buddy started a brain storming session for the solution while Shane was wandering in the 'pahodi ki vadiya' in Switzerland. We came up some crazy and innovative ideas which are still not invented. Sheesh. But we follow Einstein Quote! Imagination is powerful!

1. We can design a mobile, which connects to the wi-fi as soon as it enters the office and the battery gets charged up automatically by wi-fi. I know the innovative idea is a crazy one logically , but all you geeks, can you make it possible to help my friend? :D
2. A mobile, which when put in the pocket of the trousers gets connected to the fixture with the charging point. So as and when Shana puts mobile in the pocket, the charging will start and as most of the time, his mobile resides in the pocket, it will never get discharged! 
3. A renewable energy source-Solar Panel. I suggested to stick the solar panel at the back of the mobile and it will contain the self-charger inside the mobile only. As the silicon used in the panel are so sensitive, they will keep the phone charged up for the whole day!  :D
4. We also thought of investing some awesomely huge (if that makes sense!) money in the research of 'Telepathy' systems to get rid of the whole 'Charging' problem. Bambu not available so no one will be able to play bansuri! (Na rahega baans na bajegi bansuri!) Sheesh.
5. The last and almost 80% solution of the problem, is to give a challenge to Shana on charging his battery. The not-so-short tempered angry young man can do anything to win the challenge or promise. If at all he promises. Be it, not talking on phone at all with any one when he is on his way to his home, far away and the battery meter is showing only 5% left and thus win the challenge for one more day :/

With these amazing five solutions , I can say we have worked hard on your problem dude. (I am sure he doesn't name this thing as a a 'problem'!) VA is also helpful though she tries to pester you with some taunts and warnings which work sometimes! :D

Conclusion: The above five solutions are actually not made by sane people but then , some day these insane people are going to shine. As 'Insane' people end up inventing things!!! 

 "Insane inside, Innovation outside"! Ting ting tiding!

I guess, we are taking charge if "Invention"! Specially for you Shane! :)

PS: There is no 'PS' today, if at all you are still reading this crazy post of mine ;)

Ek jaam friends ke name!

I just heard it on the radio some days before, "Friends are relatives, we choose!"!

Not bad. Friends are important and they become super important if you are away from your family.They keep you high all time (in my case!), they scold you when you are up to some stupid action.They become your moral support. Its true, they are relatives we choose!

Suddenly I have become very much conscious of the fact that, we must enjoy the present when we are with friends. Never know till what time you all will be together, in the same city. Worst, in touch.I started noting how I feel special and I smile because of small tiny cute gestures (or a tight scolding session!) of my buddies, irrespective of their locations!

I wanted to capture some of these moments, I guess I need a 3D (Harry Potter fame?) camera?!

-My frock buddy N pinged me in the morning some days back on 'whatsapp'! The conversation was like this-(meaning less?!)
Frock buddy N:Uth gai??
Bubblegum: Yeah why?
Frock buddy N:Hehehe, ese hi.


A big smile by Bubblegum! :)

-I was feeling exhausted after the Nashik travelling and the pinch of pain. The night was horrible with head ache and I was forced to take rest. I slept off finally. Before my alarm rings, I got a mail alert on my mobile. I checked. I got a biiiig mail from my best-buddy which made my day!! I read it for 238740 times and I guess my all pain disappeared suddenly.I mean when he writes I just love to read and whenever I ask him to blog or write more, he says, "I am very bad at it!! I know you will read this,just wanna tell you,

"Dude you write your mind-heart out!!! At least write for me!!!" :)

-Here goes a conversation with my bro-buddy on call, while waiting for another friend of us, Shana.


Bubblegum: I am waiting for Shana-sir. (Sarcasm is important!) 
Bro-buddy:Oooo sir!! (He is scared for Shana may be now!)
Bubblegum: (Trying to control my frustration!) Let him come late. Poor guy is missing some moments with a good friend like me!
Bro-buddy:What about the poor girl waiting for him?
Bubblegum: The girl will roar like a tigress!! (Woow!)
Bro-buddy:Not roar, you will mew like a cat!! 
Bubblegum:Bakwas!
After the incident (Shana is still alive!), the very next day I got a ping from my bro-buddy!


"What is tigress doing?!!"
Mugambo khush hua!! ;)

-When two nashik-buddies (One is JQ and the second one lazy fellow SB!) mail me and there is a loop of chains mails with no agenda. In one such mails,we start playing Antakshari! (I am the initiator!)

"Guys,These mails are very precious to me!! To remember how stupid we are!!!"

-A friend of yours from USA whom I call by the name of  a film character (which I don't want to publish here or else this can be my last blog!) he hates to be called, gets irritated when I suggest him a makeover which can make him look like his sister-ditto!!  :D 


"Dude, If you are reading this, I wont call you by your real name. Ever!!!" :D

-A school-college friend KS who is a doctor now, scolds you like your father to take the vaccine, you are scared of. For the first time in life. Period. Oh I felt special but I certainly dint smile!! :P

-The would-be of the same doctor-childhood friend fellow, pings you and makes you understand about the whole vaccine thing!She is a doctor and the vaccine is important! Thehenga to Dr.KS, I smiled! :P

Such crazy friends make me smile or make me special each time they dive into my daily life.I can note a lot many incidents but these are the latest ones!! ;)

To all my friends and upcoming new friends,


Guys and girls, you call I am high all time!! That's because of you!!
Ek jaam friends ke name,


Cheers!

PS: Jaam-Kissan jam, okay?! ;)

Time travel in the passion world!

So the other day I was chatting with one of my friends studying in Germany. He is studying my favorite subject, "Mechatronics" which actually includes my passion-'Robotics'. I was so much into it in college days that people say I have almost missed the fun of being into an engineering college and roaming around with friends. I deny. It was the time when my personality was getting shaped up by 'Robotics' and other related activities. I had my share of fun in them.Also,I was spoiled to the core by seniors!

Digress.He was getting frustrated with the 'Electronics' and 'Programming' parts of 'Mechatronics'! There it all started. He explained his situation and I just dived deep into the past.

Those mechanical structure we used to try hard to balance, welding,riveting, grinding and what not-Somethings I was always into.I recollected more on my struggles to learn electronics and programming and my seniors struggles to make me learn them!!(What do you expect from mechanical engineers haa??)

My fights with those tiny electronic components, reading on the Internet and harassing my tiny mechanical brain-I love those memories the most now. From that's where my re-search ability started building and then I became one of the 2 FBI (Face Book Intelligence) officers in my buddy-group!! Thank you!!Those capacitors, diodes, locking torque power window motors, development boards and the biggest dushman to conquer- Atmega 32 and other micro controllers. There were so many days I got glued to the data sheet and gain nothing.I was bemused with my own learning capabilities, and alas learnt a little bit of the application. (Okay, I admit I have lost whatever I had acquired!!) Self-teaching was something I learnt if nothing else.

Then came the programming part-AVR studio. How can I forget this software, which was installed by my senior-bhaiya forcefully in my pc/laptop and I was asked to learn how to simulate our developments first.Defining those ports,giving '0' and '1' values,making different gates! I remember in one of such sessions after simulating, we made a blunder and blasted our 1GB pen drive! I remember installing drivers into the laptop after formatting it for million times-was the skill I developed during this time-as I almost ended up with installing infected electronics-simulation softwares. Ah, we never used anti-virus as even if the laptop worked slow a bit, the heat in our mind used to become a fire of frustration!

Goose bumps, I finished my return journey of time travel!!

I guess, the universe hints us when we forget something about the biggest passion residing in us and how we should get into it more.

and, how 'Proud' you were to get the exposure in the very early days of your career.

25th year is super fun!! :)

I am a kind of a person who loves to cut the cake at 12 on my birthday, and loves get many many gifts and feel happy! Not to forget phone calls,mails and texts!!Only one problem is there- I hate it when any one asks me what do you want for my birthday-Oh boy,grow up, you people are close to me, Cant you give me a surprise? Sheesh.

The pre-Birthday week was full of such silly question by buddies,they poked me a lot and frustrated a hell out of me. Period. I was wrong. The actual story and planning was running in the back ground!! *Smiles!*

Everyone is asking how my birthday was-and The enthu-atma of Bubblegum wants to tell everyone how my birthday-away from my home was rocking,lovely,heart-warming and yes, sleeeeepy!! :D So,on public demand!! ....

A soon to finish 24- Bubblegum, at around 11pm, previous night, behaved maturely when she accepted that, no one is going to be with her at 12,not even her roomie, personally. She was okay. She thought the next day-she will plan something and have fun.


At 12pm, the newer Bubblegum was given a plenty of surprises by all of her close buddies- even from kilometers away, ah yes. The over-whelmed Bubblegum is bursting with enthu to tell you all how she was surprised by some of her closest pals ever, Here she goes.

The cake at 12, Bubblegum with a Harry Potter fame witch hat!!-Okay you all, I am taking this very positively and Finally, I have got the cutest hat ever I can have!! :) A witch hat-The perfect gift for a Harry Potter fan! For the cake, I should thank Shana and VA!! :) VA, thanks again,Thanks for being the smart supporter!

GLG-2, you rock!!! I love the cute earings and bracelet with the cutest ever, ever Anklet!! Gosh, the pair of anklets are so so cute that, I guess I went bonkers for a few moments after seeing them! I actually stared at the lovely pair of anklets for zillion times and made sure they are mine forever!!(Turning dramatic?!)



                                      The card from my terrific trio-buddies!!! :) Exactly my type of a card!! :) Handwritten messages and punch lines were best GLG-3! :)
I love such cards, given by best buddies and that too hand written. I think my album of such cards is going to feel proud to have such this one.

I can seriously name each and every characters on this card, but I guess if I want to live more I shouldn't at least blog about it :D



Now, here comes one of the best parts of the 'Gift Session'!! The DSLR lens!!!! :) I just cant imagine my bro-buddy has such a creative mind :D Hahaha, Thank you all. Ah, you can see the cute mobile cover,thanks GLG -2again!! :)




Now, the gift I feel , made me emotional. * Sobbing and gulp*, I was never given such a girlish gift in my life. I just want to smell and feel it for the rest of my life. The best-feel gift award goes to 'The Body Shop' Gift pack!!! :) The pack includes Shower Gel,Body polish,Lip balm,Musk and what not-of my favourite Strawberry flavor! (Ah, the post is turning girlish and pink!!)

Now, the last but not least and the best (All gifts are favorite yaar, I can differentiate!, but this one is super special!) gift!!-I never thought people like-my these 2 buddies can be so so so creative and hard working, just for me!! *Eyes flattered*!In the below photo mjust beneath the witch hat you can find it!The scarp book- containing all my photos right from childhood photos to nice photos, crappy photos to disgusting photos!! :D The best part was-Messages of all ,all my buddies & the best-From my parents too!

I cant imagine The buddy (Who is the idea-Generator,laptop photos-chor,the physical copy creator!) called up and mailed my parents, my brothers and school friends to take their messages and ah,photos too!! :) Ah, Bro-buddy, you helped him all the way from Delhi!! *Tears!!*, Frankly, The Scrap (book) buddy, you rock!!! :) ;) :P



I think, a few gifts are still on the way-well it seems I am celebrating my birthday-week if not the month!! :)

The post-gift-night-era was bubbling with hundreds of phone-calls, mails and text messages. It went up to 3! At, 6am I started receiving calls from my senior bhaiyas from Australia and Europe.They harassed me-even when they knew I needed sleep so badly! The session was followed by friends and relatives in India for the rest of the day! I am thankful to some very senior bosses of mine for wishing me by calls and texts on Sunday :)

I tried to manage the day with a visit to Siddhi Vinayak and A fabulous dinner. Ah, I forgot about my 'sleep mode' all day long. I was sleeping standing in the temple-queue for the darshan,having dinner,coming back by train, in the auto,while talking to all my friends on calls.Sorry VA, I really don't remember what I chatted with you while I was in train!!Sorry girl, if at all you get to read this!Just a doubt Shane?-Did you sprinkle tranquilizers on gifts?? Specially 'The Body Shop' gift kit??!

Ah, I bow to you people, who managed to surprise the 'Surprise-plan-queen-ever-one-can-see'!!

With a small birthday wish to be with you all, in my upcoming all years, I declare,

"The 25th year of my life is super fun!!"

PS: I am sure, Shana and my bro-buddy will react with wide eyes and calling me 'Credit chor' and 'narcissist'!! The post is slightly scattered but please understand my feelings!! :) 

Summer things!

So the summer is already shining and I have already asked a number of people, the exact English word of 'Dhoop', I am still not satisfied with any of the answers given. Finally I decided to use 'Scorching Sun', suggested by 2 buddies. :D I still feel it doesn't give the same feel as 'Dhoop', may be my Amdavadi atma knows the pain.

Summer used to be different in Ahmedabad. It was my school-college days. Vacation days of course. Most of the people will flee out of town to get rid of the heat. There were days we had to tolerate. I guess, they were fun too.

Kitchens used to be full of Fruits like Water melons, Musk Melons and Mangoes. I cant forget 'Kesar keri' we get in Gujarat, its no where near to what we get in Mumbai. Kesar Keri from-Talala region of Junagadh,Gujarat. Yes, not a single spoon of sugar you need to add in the 'keri no ras' or the 'Aam ras'! Its different than Aafoos/Hafoos of Mumbai. These mangoes are very very costly and one of the reasons we don't get out side Gujarat is 80% of  these mangoes are exported. Digress.

So, kitchens full of fruits and 'Kachi keri sharabat' and how can I forget 'Raasana'! Mom used to make that bottle of Rasana syrup and we used to enjoy with ice in the hot summer afternoons! I remember My brother making 'barf ka gola' for both of us while watching movies and Cartoon Network in the noon.

I remember evenings were cool after 6.30. I along with my frock buddy N used to drink water and get high with our usual 'April fool Pranks' and 'Kachi keri with namak/mithu'! All those games were generated mostly during these days.

During college days, when Ahmedabad used to cross temperature beyond 41, one couldn't identify any girls in the campus on the vehicle, as all will be covered with dupatta resembling 'Jhansi ki raani'! The tradition is still in Ahmedabad. It is a need now, to avoid Sun stroke.We have to cover hands and face with white clothes.

I must not forget Khadi k Kapade! Its a bliss! I remember my father wearing 'Khadi ke shirts' till now, and believe me, Men in Khadi shirt look smart!! :) Really!!!

Nights used to be all ice-creamy!! Yummy!! One can not survive without Ice creams in Ahmedabad. I remember 'Home made Icecreams' by my super duper cool Papa!! :) Ah, I should not forget in early childhood, when I used to refuse to drink milk, my mom used to freeze the 'Bournvita' and give it to me in the name of 'Ice creams!' :D

Now, In Mumbai, I don't miss that heat of course, but I miss the fun. Of course thanks to my buddies I enjoy 'Kulfi' time like I never had!! :)I enjoy my daily does of sweet coconut water. I want to enjoy beaches!! I want to do a lot many 'Summer things'!

I still have to find my 'Mumbai Summer things' out side air conditioned office in the evening yet!

Are you doing your 'Summer Things'?!

Viva times!

Its April, it stuck suddenly while browsing Face book, that its the time of University Viva exams in Engineering colleges! 4 Years of bindassness was given a challenge, once in a while in the form of Viva.

My experience with my viva (and others too!) has been very weired and exciting. I was surrounded by some khatarnak padhakus of the batch.They helped me way out, most of the time as I was 'Robocon-Pidit' the only girl of the batch :D

Now don't run your imagination, the help was mostly out of class-viva session, with journal papers floating around us, stationary items being decorated randomly on the desks and rumours of questions all around.I remember one of my friend PC/B (Don't ask me why such weired name! :D) mugging all the way, helping me to consolidate all learnings with Friend AD and others, helping me completing my journal at the last moment. Ah, I was the 'Robocon' girl after all.

Most of the time I will be called with the PC/B friend inside the viva-venue due to the order of roll numbers. I remember I had that 'special skill' of converting any subject in the 'Robcon-know hows' and the viva will get over with a very fishy smile on the face of friend PC/B! Dude, I wouldn't have passed otherwise :D

The unity of my batch was just awesome in bunking all lectures and practicals, I have only one complaint, in lectures no one could give my proxy! I was the only girl :P

I still remember the Last viva of my engineering term, Mrs.AP was sitting inside the cabin, with the narrow lane kindda of entrance. We were in the line discussing 'What will happen inside' with journal files in our hands. I remember due to the 'revengeful' feelings prevailing in our minds, some guys (I swear it was not my idea!!) peeled off the 'name' from her 'Name plate' in an odd way :D :D We had a laughter attack afterwards. :D The prank was followed by filling the hollow (obviously!) out let pipe of the vehicle of the same teacher with papers by some guys!!Ah, we took so much sadistic pleasure!

My viva sessions were always fun, when some different kind of species used to ask some amazing questions and we had to control our laughter or the temperament :D The post-sessions were more exciting, I remember on one such 'Reading Vacation days' when libraries will be crowded,my bag was places in the 'Guys toilet' by a buddy of mine. Ah, I had just given him a challenge , 'I can do anything'! Ah, finally I had to show my 'Naari shakti' aka 'Daya bhavna wali eyes' to another buddy and he went inside and took out my bag!! I must say between the 2 activities a lot many wild imaginations had taken shape in our minds :D

Viva sessions, are somethings which I miss now, the pressure and still 'the pranks' we played were just awesome. We were mechies after all. 

Viva couldn't capture our minds like that!! :D 

PS: A very personal memory shot, might not interest all :D

Fears of Flight!

I think ornithopters are best, when it comes to flying high in the sky.Even sky diving would be awesome.

But, if I have to take a flight! I have some fears, right from getting bored to god knows how many.

It starts with the time of the flight. If it is early in the morning, I have to get up very very early in the morning and reach the airport early(I used only one 'early') in the morning. The phenomena graduates with getting myself bored up at the airport-and finally the crossword or bookstores come to my rescue.

It is  a problem too, when I get into reading so much that I sometimes end up making crew members scream and call me :D

The most dangerous part starts from the moment I enter inside the plane, welcomed by fake smiles of crew members. Okay, I agree I smile back too :D

I start pushing my bag in the above compartment trying to figure out kinds neighbours I will be having. I pray if  a kid/kids is/are nearby so I can really pass the fear-phenomena. A book also helps, but if I am not sleepy.Damn, I cant sleep in flight if given the middle seat!The take off time really triggers ear-pain and then head ache which is followed by yuck smell of bimaro ka khana in the flight.

The painful flight duration ends with one more attack of ear-pain and headache. If luck is not on myside, the pilot also tries to scare me and make me recall all flight-crash movies by doing forceful aerobatics! :D Yeah they are scary if  I am alone, if I have a companion I might be the brave one and console the samnewala :D

The waiting period to get the luggage always has a silver line of leaving the airport afterwards. And, if it is Delhi and my bro-brothers are there..The whole phenomena-Fears of flight is worth!! :)

I think I can tolerate this time also!! Here I come Delhi!! We will have a blast (On both professional and personal front!) for a few days! :)

PS:Yes you both, bro-buddies-Better make plans, I will be tired after the really daunting professional task and you might have to pamper me. :D Bhaio doda barfi bhi taiyar rakhna! :D Kitne fears ko face karke aa rai hu :D

Shocking surprises!

Face book- I don't want to even write about how it has made our life easy and complex. It seems you want all of your buddies, known people (who are not buddies!), family on one platform and aha...The privacy has to be a fake word for face book after that. Any one in your profile can see even see a friend (whom you also don't know!) of your friend from your friends profile and I can make more complicated sentences to express ! :D

So in last few days I have got many wedding invitations from my friends on Face book! When I see who is getting married to whom, I get shocking surprises.

The cases are like,

1.Your school friend is getting married to another school friend of your from your class only, and you wonder how come you don't know this purani love story  (Yeah for 14 years I was in the same school!! Junior KG to 12th!)

2.A garba group friend of yours is getting married to a school friend of yours. They met in a get together via you!!!

3.A distant relative (may be not relative but something like that!) is getting married to a senior of yours! :D

4.A college friend of yours is getting married to a sibling of your office-mate. Cool.

Okay, while reading one can replace 'You' with 'Bubblegum'!

Bubblegum is still in the state of shocking surprises.

Cheers to all would be dulha-dulhans!!

Bubblegum still thinks, why suddenly people around you are getting married!!!Ohh, She feels luckier! :D

The freaky Funday-Sunday!

I call my this Sunday, a freaky fun day for several reasons!!!

After this mindset of mine,I think I needed a break. We (I cant go anywhere alone! I am a group person mostly!) made a plan of watching a play-Gujarati Play. As usual I can not stand myself spending a day without doing any 'kands'! So of course the Sunday had to be freaky-funday!

In the local train while calling my mom and a didi of mine, a station came and from the window I could see the name of the station 'Dadar', the train started slowly and I realised this was the station I had to get down at. :D So, finally with all my energy (Yeah, Boost is the secret!) I rushed to the door and got myself on the station safely, while recalling all science and physics lessons of Newton's third law and moment of inertia.:D
This stunt is not performed by any experts, it was a fluke and kindly don't try it at all! :D

After the excitement 1, as usual I reached a wrong place where my friend had to reach from the very opposite direction of the station , how honest he is, he actually purchased a next station ticket to control the next probable kand of getting trapped by a ticket checker!

A good incident also happened, The play was excellent. Yeah you guessed it right, it was a comedy play 'Ek bijane nadata rahie.' The second jhataka was waiting where a friend's friend thought I was married! What the hell!! I am surely not angry on the aunt, whom I met in my cousin's wedding who thought I am still young to get married now! :D She thought I am still a college going girl! I like it!:D

After having zillions of small laughter attacks thanks to the play , we left the auditorium. Like good boys and girls , when we saw a temple just opposite to the hall, we went inside and had darshan.  :D Little less I know, the darshan was the solution to my next kand.

Before leaving for our respective places, we thought of having some snacks. We took a taxi and again I was busy in calling a friend of mine.Enjoyed Gujarati snacks after a long (3 days?!) time and proudly announced that I am going to pay! The kand got disclosed,when I started taking out my wallet from the handbag! It was not there! Emotional attack, I was scared. My debit card, licence and what not was in my lovely wallet!This is the second time I had lost it!It was gone. *Sobbing mentally!*

We thought I left it in the taxi, the bill was paid,obviously not by me. I ran out and tried to find the same taxi,which was like searching something from the air ,(Hawa mein hath marna?!) My friend suggested we should go back to the auditorium and check. First thing I was thinking of blocking my debit card ,I was lost- remembering how lucky last time I was, when I got my purse back,3 years ago. I thought  better to go home and get my card blocked.An ummed jagi when, suddenly I realized, when I was praying in the temple only my mobile was in my hands! I had difficulty in praying hath jodke! Eureka. Hopes and dreams were made in my dil-dmag.

We walked all the way to the hall, nervous I was, I told my pal (How cool he is, bechara was consoling me all the way!) to check in the hall and I would check in the temple. I got a call in 2-3 minutes from him that the wallet is just with the hall-cleaners and they want to cross check the owner's identity. To cut it short the best kand of the day was over. Ah, not actually the best.

The best one happened, when I reached my place. I went to a shop to buy milk just nearby and one lafanga mawali tried harassing me, tried to be touchy types and on the third attempt I threw all frustration of the last kand on him with One Tight Slap!!! Which was followed by some pitai by a female, shopping in the shop. :D

So the freaky Sunday which was actually special. I learnt, not to talk on phone while travelling, be careful with my handbags and...Not to get scared if harassed by any damn mawali! Thank you :D

Ah, It was a freaky-funday! Absoultely! Kands nahi karoge to kya hoga! Ramayan bhi 'kands' se bani hai!

PS: Shane, thanks for the moral support :D

Har ek 'dost' zaroori hota hai!

Friends. The most convincing word after family for me. I think all are my friends. But, for me there are 2 kinds of friends.

1. Who are best of best friends and remain the best.
2.Who were best friends but eventually moved on, cheated on to me or dint like me.

I will talk about the later one first. Yes I call them 'friends'. I have a very few of them in my life.I have some friends who actually were of the first type of friends, went into the second category and again came back to first.There are some who never ever came back or I dint allow them to come back. I may sound rude but then I don't colour all with the same brush. Should I ? I don't want the answer as I know I am going to follow what my heart is going to ask me to do.

These 'friends' made me emotionally strong , They made me independent , They made me confident,They made me realize the value of being real 'me'. Albeit by mistake, because they ditched. I am thankful to them to make me what I am today and I am proud to be 'myself' today!

About the first category. They are the 'Sanjivani' of my life. They make me feel high all the time! Without alcohol of course. They have the power to make me smile, to pull my leg, to laugh with me like crazy. They are my partners in playing pranks, They are victims of my pranks. They don't make me confident , they have confidence in me, and that's what make them special.They encourage me to be independent. They tell me the truth and They are my life. I don't only love them , I live them.


Here is to all of them. My bro-buddies , My Lunch group buddies, My frock buddy N, My college friends Sid and N, My bhailog group and last but not least, Yes Shane you too!! Thanks for being my 'Life'!

Cheers!!

A new Mantra!

After going through so so many photo blogs and some promises given to my close pals, I have decided to follow a new mantra 'Photo A day' inspired by her! Of course I wont post them every day but very often! May be the name of my blog will be a fact now! Hope I am going to rock in my not-so-new hobby! :) 

PS:Please tolerate kiddish photos. I am still a newbie! :)
PS-2: Shane , I am keeping my promise! Sort of?! :)

Yara.. silly silly!

A college friend of mine gave me big galis yesterday.

While chatting after ages!

He pinged me , I started screaming (Online screaming!) Which number of yours is working?I tried to call you on your birthday and all...

The wost part was , another friend of us Ni, whom I had called to take this ex-birthday-boys' latest number dint help me to!! Disgusting!! (Over expressed?) We are great college buddies!

The ex- birthday boy: Yaar give me your number!
Me: What?? You don't have my number?! (I wanted to tell him,'Dude I have only 2 numbers unlike 34739 of yours!)
The ex- birthday boy: Sorry yar, I have lost my mobile and so all numbers! Please give Ni's Number too!
Me: No.

Present and Past-2 Perfect days!

So two very happy events this and this were due on 24th Dec!! :)

It started with wishing all birthday babies and yes, full proofing all shocking gift ideas for them!! :) A dear friend of mine , the sweet girl who met me in the Volvo while coming back from Nashik many months ago, was born today and I wish her a belated Birthday on the blog!!! You are the best dear!! :)

Wishing Shana required a lot many efforts as the location and the availability of resources were constraints!! I think I did pretty well dude :) ;)

The Christmas celebration was ultra cool in the office, yours truly was the official photographer and a winner of a game! Thank you!! :P Spent my late evening having Paratha, Chhash and some books with the book-warm friend aka the birthday boy! :) Happpppy birthday to you!!! :) :) 

The best part was , He (Yeyeyeye!!!) was coming with my other ultra cool brother!! :) Me and the ultra cool brother aka Kaks tied up and arranged a surprise birthday celebration for My dada and The book warm friend!! :) Bingo it worked!! But the flop show was---> We had to cut the plum cake!! :P 

The most enjoyable day-1 got over in the auto sleeping like a log!! :P :P

The very second day, I was to have a blast too!! Reaching dada's place is always a Bhool Bhulaiya for me!!:P Yes firse kho gai!! Ah, Actually any other rasta sans the road to my office makes me feel that I am playing a maze!! :p

The road to get-together venue was special, having dada beside me and my childhood friend Praks on the call :) Long time Praks!! Loved the chat!!

The get-together was decided in The Main Land China with all all my bichhade hue and current office buddies!! What a great feeling of having the original office buddies together!

The food 10/10

Ah, how can I forget ,my dada was sitting opposite to me and my girl lunch group -1 aka my bestie aka my almost an elder sister beside me!! :) Pleasure!!! :) Miss you all a lot!! Kaks, we missed you!!

The main event was followed by a few friends who were not ready for the viday process again enjoying coffee cups at Costa Coffee!! :) Again chats of gadgets to business cases., OEMs to Regions!! :) Nostalgia!

Again me.dada and GLG1 went for shopping!! :) Bliss!! The same feeling!! I was living in the past!! :)

The auto ride back to home with GLG1-The most successful event of the day for some obvious reasons and when dada dropped me I had to come back to the present!!

The day ended up with the phone call to the best best friend of mine for 46 minutes!! Thank you!!

The perfect 2 days -swinging between past and the present or may be future!! :)

May the new year and upcoming all years, remain jolly with the same set of people! Amen!
