Long time since I scribbled something here. Was way too busy with my own office chores but I regularly used to visit most of ur blogs and commented to them too frequently.

Well , had a real nice experience abt 10 days back. The main power supply of our office had some problem that day and somehow huge flames of fire started coming out of it. It was around 5 o clock in the evening. Since there was no power now and UPS also cud not support for long and also the power generator was short of the fuel, so it was decided to give the remaining hours of the day off. So we called it a day. Since it was just 5 and I it was a lil odd to go home at that early hour(I usually go home at 730 in the evening), so I decided to go somewhere but where.

I along with my office friends gave a real nice thought to go somewhere but cud not come at some conclusion. Called one of my she friends if she was available to accompany me for a timepass date at one of the meeting joints but she was busy. So I finally decide to go alone on my Bike and the lucky decided place was India Gate. But u guys mite now be thinking whats new in goin to India Gate and that too lonely. Isnt that kinda boring. But this was not the case that day. The journey to the I. Gate was different for me this time because I had my earphones put on and turned the music player of my phone at the max volume. That was a real nice experience for me.

Putting the Favorite music playlist on ur music player and on a BIKE ALONE and not HEEDING to any of the vehicles horns and hooters , just DRIFTING to some place at the PEAK traffic hours in a METRO. Isnt it an altogether different experience. It was, at least for me. I had a feeling that I was flying. I know this was a lil risky and dangerous.

But ppl, do give it a try. It gives an awesome feeling. ..But please Beware of the traffic Men, they are in real search for such ppl and desperate to Bust them .

All the best to all.

Cheers,

P.S. - Pic of India Gate taken that day

Hi Friends,

Its been long time that I wrote anything here. I guess I was way too busy with my own life schedule, although I don't do too much of achievements in this period.

I am already 24 and will be 25 this October, and am earning a good salary as an engineer.

One thing that strikes my mind most often is the right age to get married. So I thought of asking u friends what should be the right time to take the chance.

I have been into the job since last 19 months, just after completing my graduation. Now most of my relatives are really very eager to get me married. Time n again, they keep on suggesting my parents some real good, cute, smart and all talented girls for me so that I can choose one from them and get married soon, although I have clearly mentioned them that I wont get in to all these for the next 3-4 years, at least. I just can't understand y are the people so curious to marry me, especially my grandmother. It's a positive thing that my parents kinda agree me in this matter but not 100 %.

If a guy starts earning some good bucks at an early stage, so does that mean that he should be married soon. Y don't they want to allow me some more years of my freedom. Or R they just fulfilling their responsibilities.

I just wanted to have an opinion of all my friends here on iland that is it the right age for a Guy to marry. Shun't I delay for at least 3 years. I know that getting married is a real big decision for one's ife. A person is loaded with extra responsibilities, he becomes answerable to someone, all his freedom comes to a sudden halt, he has to carry all the ration for the home. Oh my God, the telephone bill is pending. Oh the cooking gas cylinder is empty. The geyser is not working. The wife has to go home. And an endless list of complexities arises. And then comes the real headache of bringing up a child.

I am not against marriage but then want to delay it for some years. I know it has to be someday but Y cant that day be a lil postponed. Need ur expert comments in this matter.

Cheers

Chalo...thoda piche mudkar dekhe !!!!

Dear Friends,

Just think,

When gulli-danda and kanche (marbles) were more

popular than cricket ...

When we always had friends to play aais-paais (I Spy),

chhepan-chhepai and pitthoo anytime ...

When we desperately waited for 'yeh jo hai jindagi'

..

When chitrahaar, vikram-baitaal, dada daadi ki

kahaniyaan were so fulfilling ...

When there was just one tv in every five houses and

When bisleris were not sold in the trains and we were

worrying if papas will get back into the train in time

or not when they were getting down at stations to fill

up the water bottle ...

When we were going to bed by 9.00pm sharp except for

the 'yeh jo hai jindagi' day ...

When Holis & Diwalis meant mostly hand-made pakwaans and

sweets and moms seeking our help while preparing them

...

When Maths teachers were not worried of our mummys and

papas while slapping/beating us ...

When we were exchanging comics and stamps and

chacha-chaudaris and billus were our heroes ...

When we were in nanihaals every summer and loved

flying kites and plucking and eating unripe mangoes

and leechis ...

When one movie every Sunday evening on television was

more than asked for and 'ek do teen chaar' and 'Rajni' inspired us ...

When 50 paisa meant at least 10 toffees ...

When left over pages of the last years notebooks were

used for rough work or even fair work ...

When 'chelpark' and 'natraaj' were encouraged against 'reynolds and family' ...

When the first rain meant getting drenched and playing

in water and mud and making 'kaagaj ki kishtis' ...

When there were no phones to tell friends that we will be at their homes at six in the evening ...

When our parents always had 15 paise blue colored

'antardesis' and 5 paise machli wale stamps at home

...

When we remembered tens of jokes and were not finding

'ice-cream and papa' type jokes foolish enough to stop us from laughing ...

When we were not seeing patakhes on Diwalis and

gulaals on Holis as air and noise polluting or allergic agents ...

the list can be endless ...

on the serious note I would like to summarise with ...

When we were using our hearts more than our brains, even for scientifically brainy activities like

'thinking' and 'deciding' ...

When we were crying and laughing more often, more openly and more sincerily ...

When we were enjoying our present more than worrying about our future ...

When being emotional was not synonymous to being weak ...

When sharing worries and happinesses didnt mean getting vulnerable to the listener ...

When blacks and whites were the favourite colors instead of greys ...

When journeys also were important and not just the destinations ...

When life was a passenger's sleeper giving enough time and opportunity to enjoy the sceneries from its open and transparent glass windows instead of some superfast's second ac with its curtained, closed and dark windows ...

I really miss .. do u?

Hi frnds, Got this as part of a mail .....

Donno who wrote it, but a well Versed, superb Expression!!!

So wanted to share it with u ..

Tomorrow you may get a working woman, but you should marry with these
facts as well.

Here is a girl, who is as much educated as you are;

Who is earning almost as much as you do;

One, who has dreams and aspirations just as you have because she is as
human as you are;

One, who has never entered the kitchen in her life just like you or your
Sister haven't, as she was busy in studies and competing in a system that
gives no special concession to girls for their culinary achievements

One, who has lived and loved her parents & brothers & sisters, almost as
much as you do for 20-25 years of her life;

One, who has bravely agreed to leave behind all that, her home, people who
love her, to adopt your home, your family, your ways and even your family
name

One, who is somehow expected to be a master-chef from day #1, while you
sleep oblivious to her predicament in her new circumstances, environment
and that kitchen

One, who is expected to make the tea, first thing in the morning and cook
food at the end of the day, even if she is as tired as you are, maybe
more, and yet never ever expected to complain; to be a servant, a cook, a
mother, a wife, even if she doesn't want to; and is learning just like you
are as to what you want from her; and is clumsy and sloppy at times and
knows that you won't like it if she is too demanding, or if she learns
faster than you;

One, who has her own set of friends, and that includes boys and even men
at her workplace too, those, who she knows from school days and yet is
willing to put all that on the back-burners to avoid your irrational
jealousy, unnecessary competition and your inherent insecurities;

Yes, she can drink and dance just as well as you can, but won't, simply
because you won't like it, even though you say otherwise

One, who can be late from work once in a while when deadlines, just like
yours, are to be met;

One, who is doing her level best and wants to make this most important
relationship in her entire life a grand success, if you just help her some
and trust her;

One, who just wants one thing from you, as you are the only one she knows
in your entire house - your unstinted support, your sensitivities and most
importantly - your understanding, or love, if you may call it.

But not many guys understand this...

The telephone is never "engaged", it's always "busy".

U don't "disconnect" a phone, U simply "hang-up".

U never "mess-up" things, U only "screw them up".

U never have a "residence" tel. no., U have a "home" no.

U don't stop at the "signals", but halt at the "lights".

U don't "accelerate", U "step on the gas".

Your tire never "punctures", U may have a "flat".

The trains have "coaches" or "boggies' no more but "carriages" or "boxes".

There R no "petrol pumps", but "gas stations".

"I don't know nothing", 2 negatives don't make a positive here.

U no longer meet a "wonderful" person, U meet a "cool" guy

U don't pull the switch down to light a bulb,rather flick it up.

Page 26 of 37

There's no "Business Area" only "business districts", and no "districts" but

"counties".

No one stays "a stone's throw away", might"a few blocks away".

There's no "Town Side", it's "Down Town".

In hotel U no longer ask for "bill" and pay by "cheque", rather ask for "check" and

pay with (Dollar) "bill"s.

There R no "soft drinks", only "sodas".

Life's no longer "miserable" it "stinks".

U don't have a "great" time, U have a "ball".

U don't "sweat it out", U "work U'r butt off".

Never "post" a letter, always "mail" it and "glue" the stamps, don't "stick" them.

U no longer live in "flats" or "blocks", find an "apartment".

U don't stand in a "queue", you are in a "line".

U no longer "like" something, U "appreciate" it.

"#" is not "hash", it's "pound".

U R not "deaf", U have "impaired hearing".

U R not "lunatic", U are just "mentally challenged".

U R not "disgusting" U R "sick".

U can't get "surprised" U get "zapped".

U don't "schedule" a meeting, U "skejule" it.

U never "joke", U just "kid".

U never "increase" the pressure, U always "crank" it up.

U never ask for a pencil "rubber" U ask for an eraser. a rubber is a condom

U don't try to find a lift U find an elevator.

U no more ask for a route but for a "RAUT"

U don't ask somebody "How r u ?", U say "What's up dude?"

U never go to see a game U go to watch a game.

If U see "World" champions(or Series),read "USA"champions(or Series).

There's no "zero" but "o", no "Z" but "zee".

There's no FULL STOP after a statement, there's a PERIOD.

If someone gets angry at U, U get "flamed".

You don't say "How do you do", you say "How you doin"

In short U don't speak English, U speak American.

Well u dont' say life is boring u say LIFE SUCKS !!!!!
