275 Kms…
5 hours flat…
With a break of about 45 minutes…
The best I have done on NOIDA – Delhi – Chandigarh Route…
With a few better roads… I should be able to do better… bye bye the Indicas, the Zens, the Taveras, the Qualises, the Innovas, the Wagon Rs, the Indigos, a few Accents, and Ikons toooo 😀
I know what being high is… thanks to my CAR !!!
The same thing is not acceptable with lovers, boyfriends, girlfriends, husbands and wives…
Relationships do change people a lot… its tough to be a friend and a lover both to the same person…
If I know too much about something then also I get bored and detached…
If I know nothing about something for a long time then also I get bored and detached…
I think if I cannot look forward to something I get bored and detached…
Over a period of the past few years, I have been so much detached with most of the things and people around me that its becoming harder to create strong ties today… and I usually do not feel too bad about loosing out on them… and the result is that people who care about me end up getting disappointed…
Not sure if this will change because as a person my needs, expectations, wants etc are limited and I try hard to ensure that I can take care of everything myself instead of sharing it with someone… If there is a need at times… I would not really try to zero in on one person who would like to hear me out but call up or meet just about anyone to talk to… It works just right for me… or I would just be quiet for a while and let myself talk to myself and hear myself out…
Let me remember a few strong ties that I still cherish for my own sake, today…
~ Parents… Nothing is bigger than them !!! NOTHING… Anything in the world for them, and I do not care if that needs me to give up on everything else in this world…
~ My Car… More then a car she is a trophy for me… A result of my hard work and a true extension of my personality… Likes attention, does not need too much of it.. Is more or less trouble free except the regular service it needs.. Is a slow starter from zero velocity, but once its revved up properly nothing can even think of competing… Technically sound… and almost the best a car company could have made…
~ My camera.. umm.. no, rather Photography… Another something that keeps me happy and how I like to be… gives me the moments I like to see over and over again…
~ Arobindo Sinha… A friend for over 4 years.. Says it, if he does not like it on my face… and makes fun of me if he does like something… someone my parents are fond of too… almost like a member of the family…
~ Mags or Meghana… One of the best creative people I know of since college… Have acted together, directed together, fought, laughed… one of my best buddies…
~ Tushar Goel… Is around when needed… and happy with himself most of the time… He does not socialise much and there have been mishaps that I have seen with him… He might not be one of the most admired people around.. but for me he has been one of the most genuine people to be with…
~ Nimisha Bhagat… One of the best singers I know of… A darling to the core… Has laughed the most on my silliest of jokes and always has been an encouragement…
~ Bharti… Know her for about 2 years now…Sweet smiling buddy who I miss at times for the sparkle in her voice and a chirp in her tone… We have met just 3 times.. And that too for time less then an hour.. But worth it…
Till then keep reading about something else somewhere or here 🙂
I know of many who give up…
I know of many who keep struggling..
I know of many who crib and cry and not do much about things..
And I know of some who get up and make things happen…
And one of these people is Priyanka…
Someone who I was introduced to about 7 months ago… Thanks to another go-getter Deepak…
Priyanka and I worked on a small picture project for ASK in Feb’06. You might want to read about that HERE.
and today, Priyanka managed to complete ASK’s website… It was a big and tough task… which needed her to know much more then what she already knew and what Priyanka has achieved almost single handedly, with tit-bits of assistance from friends, is great…
Check out the website here.
God Bless you girl.. you are a rockstar…
Someone said Honesty is the best policy…
🙂
And then there are words and sentences like…
Smartness…
I love him, but I do not know if I can marry him…
You cannot say the truth always when you are in a relationship…
Oh, but I cannot tell her this…
I do not know what happened… but i do not know how it happened either…
I was not sure how would you react to this…
I wanted to tell you but I thought you will feel bad about it…
I do not like this about him, but I am not sure if I should tell him…
Its a life of convenience… Isn’t it?
I was in the Banglore Campus a few weeks back…
Finally managed to upload a few pictures from the walks around the campus…
Check out the beautiful campus by clicking here.
And in Rajasthan and Delhi there are people who are openly blackmailing the government and the system and also causing pain and damage both mental and financial…
And our government can only stay silent and hold peace talks with the leaders…. why can’t we just order for force and make them STOP… is the inconvenience caused to the people and property loss not good enough a reason to put a stop to this senseless shit? oh… they would not… vote bank rules the country here….
What are they asking for? an ST tag… go give it to them… if they get that tag and the reservation these bunch of bastards would at least stop causing harm and letting the entire world know what they really are made of !!!
I wonder does a SC/ST tag in India make someone better that most of the people are now fighting for it?
I am also wondering if the caste system in the country was past or is it OUR PRESENT and FUTURE !!!
The world is funny… and I am now only getting amused by a lot of things happening… which is in whatever time i can get from an almost 15 hour work schedule I have…
But then Nisha and Aakash grew apart…. and the relationship did not work out… today both of them know each other… talk to each other… and are great friends…
So are they idiots to give up on such a great friendship turning into a life long relationship or are they mature people who understand where things lack and accept them this way?
Nandini always wanted John to ask her out… he did… they dated for a few weeks before they slept together… Nandini loved that night… John was happy too… and the sleeping together part repeated a number of times, before one day someone told Nandini that John was married and his wife was pregnant… Nandini was heartbroken… she did not know how to react to this… it took her sometime to accept the fact, and when she did, she also confronted John who agreed that he was married, but he could not let her go either…
No conversations followed for a long while, before one day john asked her out again… and they slept together…
Now, is John a bastard or is Nandini only wants to get laid?
Ansh was in love… and then he was in love again… and then the third time he was in love, he got married…. there was no one at the marriage function… only a few friends… minus a few old ones as well… no parents, no relatives nothing…
And he sends out this email to all his friends after he gets married with the pictures of his marriage…
So how should the friends who thought they were friends think?
He took an immature decision to take away the dream of arranging for a marriage function of their only son from his parents? or did he do the right thing by following his heart?
Waking up at 7 in the morning with a long list of tasks that need to be completed in the day… there is that hope that you will be able to do it, but at the same time the reality check reminds you that its not possible…
And finally when you drop dead on the bed around midnight… you only sleep with the same list modified… some things added… some removed…
Its been a roller-coaster of sorts in the last one month… not sure if I am enjoying it all, but i feel this is something that should have happened to me a good couple of years earlier… but then no complaints… lets learn it late, but learn it fast…
My life today is challenging me to almost its limits… and there is a lot that i have gotta prove to myself…
God Bless me…
And that has how i have grown, over a period of time…
And as of today, the only person i expect anything from is ME…
I fail to understand a lot of times, why i do not come upto expectations of a few people around me…
is that because i am insensitive?
is that because i do not care?
is that because i have too much full of myself?
or is that because i am less dependent on people around me?
oh… i have not really written this post to look for answers for myself from people… its more of an personal post… please feel free to drop a comment… no gyan please though…
IDIOT…
Who the hell is she to comment on the Crime Rate and BPOs… If people feel that BPOs add to the crime rate, they are free to get lost…
And our media is to be blamed equally… one single incident in a BPO suddenly raises question marks on the security of the lakhs of people who work in the entire industry… Are they nuts or something… Do they even know what people in BPO at all levels go through to earn a decent living… i feel its one of the toughest things to work in a BPO , and for the interested it can teach you things which NO other industry would ever teach you..
Oh.. and then there are people who say, ” The Security should be revamped in all the DAMN companies… its a cause of concern.”
Where does the security feeling go when you go out partying late nights and tell your parents that you have been working? And how do they blame the BPO for it?
There was another dude who said, ” My parents get worried, if i reach home an hour late… And no one gets worried when he himself goes out drinking and goes home at whatever time he wants…
We either do not speak up in front of the camera or we take responsibility with the words that we are using… and the idiotic News Channel guys should be sensible enough to show what makes a difference, instead of showing the crap that they do….
Oh… and if you do not it already… Someone took a revolver inside the HCL BPO office in NOIDA and shot a collegue….
Media and some idiots who talk on the camera… Wah re prabhu… Ajab teri Duniya…
I don’t know why, but I was reminded of a few people… I guess was trying to break away from the very very hard work routine and landed in the past…
Ankur Agarwal
Sayantani Das Gupta
Richa Bhardwaj
Rohit Talwar
Amit Khanna
Vanja Dogra
Akash Gupta
All of them have a story associated with them… Laughter, Pain, Anger etc etc etc
Not really sure if I want all of them to be blessed, but then… whatever should happen would happen….
Lets get back to work dude… there is not much time before its midnight…..
