The week that wasn't

One week is enough to change a person if things don’t go right n if a person gives undue importance to the circumstances. I could feel myself changing my thought process n basic traits by 360 degrees. Ups n downs are there in everybody’s life n should be dealt with in a moderate way. This is easier said than done. Difficulties itni bhi nahi hoti that u erase ur image of 22 years in 22 hours. Maybe this has got to do with my lack of knowledge of what goes on in this world. Lack of maturity seems evident. As it is, I am 15-16 yrs. old according to many. But the transition to the present shall come at the right time n not as I plan. What is a basic part of u will always be n situations can whack any1 badly enough to shake him. It is better to face the problems boldly n forget them when the next mission arrives than recalling it the next time that u get so tense that u spoil ur chances the next time. But with experience comes knowledge. Something similar happened recently n I had just myself to curse for the mistake. Knowing the stuff proved to be a total waste. This is where de-stressing is important so that u completely erase the bad experience but retain the knowledge acquired. Evry1 has different de-stressers n mere case mein everything is weird. Think of “Sinbad the sailor” and u feel like “Rocking On”. This combined with a few more methods (can’t mention them) are enough to make up for the disappointments of pichle saat din. I remember telling a friend that I feel as if I have forgotten how to smile..something which I love n am proud of. Perception is something that varies from person to person n according to sum1, X mite be better than Y and vice versa. This does not mean there is a difference in capabilities but its the day n the occasion which matter more..it’s like an Ind-Aus match. Any team can beat the other. At my age n so-called experience, I cannot take the stress happily. So y not make it go away? My image of the past 13 weeks has been totally different from the one in the 14th week. I couldn’t imagine people asking me if I am feeling ok or noticing the changes that suddenly crept in.

I love this game..

Cricket is something I have always been very passionate about but Mumbai aane ke baad dunno whats happening where. I used 2 plan in advance as to which series I would completely watch n enjoy. Eagerly anticipating the England-SA series with some great guys in both teams and 2 teams I am fond of after India, of course. Not to miss the return of the big man, Freddie. I still remember the Ashes 2005 series where I saw him at his best in his evolving stages n ever since he has been one of my favourites. I could just follow the scores regularly on the net and a few videos of the day’s highlights. A good n closely fought series no doubt.The return of Harmison made me happier since I always believe he is a very fine bowler n is badly needed if England are to win the Ashes next year. Michael Vaughan stepping down as captain is a big blow for the Poms. I still remember how Ponting, who was hailed as one of the best captains to grace the game, was criticised when Vaughan’s brilliance as captain n luck of course, helped England demolish Australia in that eventful series in 2005. But as a player, Michael Vaughan should continue. He has that style, class n elegance which many don’t have. Get Simon Jones possibly n the Poms have their squad more or less ready for 8 July 2009. Suddenly yaad aaya they have 2 tour India first n I wish their best squad plays n that too to its potential so that India beat them in a closely contested series. Test cricket is losing its sheen these days because of T20 spreading like fire. But some series I love 2 watch are Ind-Aus, Ind-Eng, Ind-SA, Eng-Aus, Eng-SA, Aus-SA..sorry not Indo-Pak, its a dead series without Shoaib n Asif n their batters not being as gud as earlier. Just bash up the Australians is the cry which doesn’t come true often. Hopefully it will 2 months from now.

networking

A class quotation to start this one: Uski hi kadar karo jo tumhari kadar kare (Value just that person who values you). I took ages to understand this n had wasted a lot of time in the process but better late than never..This quote is true in every situation: inter-personal relationships, jobs, career or matters of the heart.. anything. Btw this is not an original quotation..copy ki hai but worth mentioning anyways.. many times I failed to understand what do I value n what not n ultimately had to bear the consequences...some harsh and some not really. This brings to mind the fact that its 4 in the nite n still typing energetically..dont know time ki kadar ho rahi hai or not considering the busy schedule n tough times ahead but jab neend hi gayab ho gayi hai toh kya Karen constructive other than this.. MBA kar rahe hain toh faad dialogues maarna aana chahiye n switching 2 class communication skills.. the fondly called Salman Khan (only I call him by this name n ppl. Say main uska bhakt hoon) in NM comes to mind..stud hai yaar honestly..gem of a guy who can match any situation with great “sensibility”. This word is associated with me, though in the opposite sense n its this very guy who uses it most often to describe me..I don’t mind it rather seriously feel he is rite but jo inherent hai woh rahega n will die out slowly..He also says thoda reduce kar on this virtue but don’t change urself for that..its not rite. This guy’s intro on day 1 was mind numbing n indicated that he has some spark/X factor in him. Zyaada tareef nahi karni or fake lagta hai..bahut sunaata bhi hai mujhe sumtimes though I don’t take it seriously n even he doesn’t mean it I m sure. Sunaane ki baat aati hai toh apna roomie yaad aata hai..woh toh too much hai but thats what makes a friend a really gud friend as per him n theory rite hai I guess.. mere jaisa hai thoda bahut n we are proud of the way we stay n conduct ourselves..another guy is dere who gets really irritated at our behaviour n utilisation of time. Ethics subject tha ek jisne bahut pareshaan kiya but this guy just loves it n literally eats our heads applying such theories. Life mein tension nahi lene ka n chill rehne ka yaar..I love smiling n don’t even need a reason sometimes..smile aisa asset n aspect hai mera that I wanna retain it forever..evry1 loves this aspect of me barring maybe a couple or so who find it maddening. Log ab bhi kehte hain ki meri smile is the 1st thing that comes 2 mind when they think of me..I am happy n satisfied to hear that n wanna make others smile as much as I can because its happiness I can give max since knowledge bahut poor hai considering the levels of ppl at NM or even my room or the floor where I stay for that matter. Phir se suddenly yaad aaya kitna kuch likh diya n dont remember kahan se start kiya n networking se kahan pahunch gaya..after all networking is something I gotta master in the next 2 years. So maybe a gud beginning. But life mein kitna kuch suddenly ho jaata hai I noticed. Its 4.30 in the night n the brain will stop functioning soon. So time 2 switch off.

figure it out..

Tum ho toh gaata hai dil, tum nahin toh geet kahaan..jisko bhi miss karo ye line suna do n specially special cases mein.. I remember the college days jab rohan n main romeo hote the..inspired by smarty..sahi time tha yaar..still laugh at that madness which comes naturally 2 any guy..ek doosre se hi tips lete the because the others would get bored no end..ye alag baat hai ki thoughts kabhi match nahi hote the n our beliefs were constantly changing although our principles n intentions were always rite..100% sure about it..ab Mumbai mein aa gaya hoon toh sum1 says mujhe aise aashiq ladke sahi lagte hain..I went back 2 rewind mode n thought that wasn’t madness..but practical thinking says sumthing else..since here many factors are considered which are obvious n the future is always kept in mind no matter how gud n genuine the individuals maybe..kya karen ye panga hi aisa hai one is always clueless about whats rite n what lies ahead..but I m sure that its easier to advise others in such matters than trying sumthing urself.. I have been at the receiving end of advises n abuses because of my foolishness several times..dont mind anything but jab kisi aur ko dekhta hoon in the same situation n making the same mistakes n saying “hum bahut sharmile ladke hain” I think thats when one realises kitna panga hota hai.. but koi nahi “heere” ki pehchaan ek na ek din ho jaati hai..ye bahut sahi consolation phrase hai for special cases like the ones already mentioned earlier..suddenly I realise I have written an article so big that my answers during exams don’t match this length. So its better I cut this short n put an end to it. I am sure one guy would say I am a fool because I wasted time writing all this n all this is useless as per him..after all jobless guy hoon, so gotta live upto that reputation. Finally, if u wanna be an “aashiq” n totally justify being one, tell urself that u are so gud at heart n there is this feeling of love towards evry1 (refers to ur social circle n relatives n well-wishers etc)u know, that if u extend it to sum1 its not wrong..though this is only if u genuinely think about urself in the manner as described. N not to miss that I wasnt wrong in all that I was upto or thinking about since I was totally aware of everything that was going on in my head n never intended to go wrong. Its a matter of perception n the initial parts might convey something else.

The first step towards blogging..

The idea of blogging struck me while just sitting idle late in the night. Though I have been idle for over four years now (seriously), suddenly something inside me said write something. I am in Mumbai..a gud place but dil toh dilli mein hi hai anyways.. having a good time here..enjoying my 2 year MBA course barring the studies n the lectures.. killing time doing almost anything is what i luv n what i do. A friend of mine says I am among the most jobless guys on earth..totally agree with u yaar..adorable banda hai woh or he would have been bashed up long back (ppl. Wont be sure of that). I have been in Delhi for 22 years n had a great time during my 4 year stint with NSIT..I miss that place badly n the ppl. I met there..Rohan (fondly call him chotu) is the 1st one who comes 2 mind..we bond as Farhan Akhtar did with Arjun Rampal in “Rock On”. That brings 2 mind this film, which was brilliant, the debutant being a stud (mera fav. Word ban gaya hai suddenly) n chotu ki philosophy about how we are n where we stand comes 2 mind many times..jab koi class banda dekhte hain toh pehle hi level compare kar lete hain..faad banda hai yaar tu..many other ppl. I remember still..anupreet the entertainer, arun the smarty, nitin the lazy, gadda the adorable n cute guy, rishabh the bundle of energy, simran the philosopher n ladkiyon pe wont comment much other than the fact that I bonded very quickly (deserve some credit for that) n very late at the same time n log miss ab bhi karte hain even though I am just a call away n then ideas keep pouring in my mind 2 get them 2 normal mode...I luv music more than I ever have n Rock On ka fan ho gaya n farhan akhtar ka bhi.. 1 line I remember everytime “Rock On hai ye waqt ka ishaara..Rock On yuhi dekhta hai kya tu, zindagi milegi na dobara”..very true..this is the time n the life where u gotta do what u want to..be it scoring well or watching the best films or best cricket matches or improving my memory or remembering the cherished moments or enjoying life in Mumbai or listening 2 great songs..anything constructive or otherwise. That reminds me: ye world hai na world..isme do type ke log hote hain..ek jo sab kuch constructive karte hain n ek jo sab opposite karte hain..I know some ppl. Around me who fall in such categories (myself included).. the new lifestyle n routine is really gud..adjusted easily I would say with good control on my heart..which can crack or go haywire in no time.. chotu ne ek baar sahi line kahi thi “dil ki baat ko dil se nahin lagaane ka”. Dil ki baat baad mein karenge coz bahut weird topic hai.. 2 wrap up this episode, 1 question that comes 2 mind: Aasman hai neela kyun..paani geela geela kyun..gol kyun hai zameen??
