Happy Birthday To Me...

To say the least thank you all for your wishes,the surprises.the chocolates,the greeting cards,the cakes,the gifts,the emails,the testimonials,the hugs and last but not the least the LOVE...

At 4am sitting in my room in front of laptop i am just in awe after reading a couple of my FAN mails...:P...
I am filled with so much gratitude and pride that i am not even able to sleep..

As i turn 24 i find it too hard to digest some of the honors and titles that i am being awarded with....and i just want to thank everybody once again...

I feel like i have achieved soo much already...without even doing anything....
When i sit and wonder i really doubt being the person that others claim me of being..

It's 4 hours past my birthday now....but m still feeling the trance...

I want to say soo much about all my friends...every single one of them but...then not today...
and not like this...

For now it's just a Big Thank You to all of you...'

P.S.:  Special Thanks to Shruti & Niharika...your testimonials made me write this......i know it's boring but....then it's my blog...i can do waht i want..

My Friend...My Philosopher....My Guide....and now My Dentist...!!

 We all have our ups and downs and we all have friends around to share it with....it could be the same person or could be different people....depending upon your plan of action....but the point is we always have someone to talk to.....
For me  it has always been 1 person...for some time now...

While we are on that note....let me tell you about this friend of mine....Cause i am one of those lucky ones to have her by my side for quite a while....

yup...datz her...!!

 Doctor Ketki Joshi....actually a dentist...
But who cares....she came to my rescue....wen i needed a saviour...


It's been 10 years....and 10 years straight without any breaks.....
Shez known me in and out.....advised me....helped me and stood by me at times when i was in need...
and soo was it today as well...
place...time.....work....nothing ever has stood between.....i am not a firm believer in the concept of best friends but....if i had to choose one among all it will surely be you ketki....

Which brings me to today.....and as of today she's my new Dentist..

Well i happened to have a tooth problem and though i had my regular Dentist (who by the way was extremely good)....but still i decided to give my friend a chance...:P
soo i paid my friend a visit....to get myself treated....
Itz always weird to have someone ogling down your throat...and all the more if she's a hot girl....now imagine if she happens to be your best friend....it was seeming too crazy and weird

but as it turned out....it wasn't such a big deal eventually....
Firstly i get a preferential treatment by not having to wait in the queue....then itz ketki in the Doc's apron....waiting inside....gives me a smile....and trust me...somehow i could not stop smiling....or rather i was laughing....which made her laugh too...haha
Although i was mentally prepared....it was soo different there...maybe not for her coz she was the doctor....and mite be used to this....but to mee....it definately was..
Eventually it got better....and from then on it was a doctor patient like thing...until...
while working on my tooth she starts telling me stories about different things....about other people...like gossip stuff.....and i was sitting on the chair with open jaws....i was like... this dosent seem a visit to doctor at all...it was as if 2 friends hanging out....credit to her....

She did her thing to my tooth which was excellent by the way....but thats not the point...for her of course it was....coz she thought i would be a good critic.....and for that maybe she was extra cautious...soo she wanted a report later on.....well to cut the long story short.....i have got a dependable dentist.....who gives me preferential treatment....rest who cares....
she's my dentist now....she can do the worrying....

Soo coming back to the point....i can still remember the first time when i really got to know her....seemed to be a out of the way....spoilt girl to me....who was way out of my league....but then we sort of connected.....i wouldn't be wrong to say she was there to share each and every happiness with me.....and even my sorrows....plus she thinks am funny.....though i doubt that....but then who minds the compliments....
And even today whenever i hit a jackpot....she knows it first....and vice versa...hopefully..:)
It just gives me Immense pleasure and happiness to see you stand with such great future....
and so for you my friend i have a few lines...

Miles we came since the first day we met...
and miles we will go till one of us may set...
But what we share is a gift that few get....
i will be there with you even if i have to be your pet...(nothing else was rhyming yaar)

Remember the time when we were brittle..
and the night had seemed to be soo little...
now is the time when we look to settle...
but i wanna go back somewhere in that riddle..

since you have always been in my boat...
i hope you will be there till i reach the coast...

and while you are there i don't want to reach the coast
cause then i won't have anything to boast...



Thank you dentist....not just for today...but for everyday....
my teeth she says are in best shape....
..
P.S.: Ketki....at 3am the effect of the Tranquilizer has completely subsidized and i feel a slight tingle in my tooth..it feels funny...hehe

Sitting in my Office...

Just when i was starting to get used to working here...when i was starting to get comfortable with everything around me...it's time to leave...
Yes our 2 months of internship are almost to over now...or letz just say...my time at Business Development Bureau is fast coming to an end.....and i see all other interns of different colleges have already left

Just 2 more weeks to go....and then it will be back to college again....
which i have missed very much....specially the sleeping in class and the fun....
I wonder how the first day is going to be.....

Neways working at BDB was a very enriching experience....now i am not sure if i would be coming back post my internship here....but clearly thats not on my mind....i did what i wanted.....i had fun....learnt a lot....had the maximum opportunities and will come out as a learned man....nothing else i asked for....
But just for the record...yes i will get my stipend too...

But there are somethings which i am going to miss....
letz see what....some might be amusing too...

I am definately going to miss the responsibility i was vested upon....
I will miss gawking over the HOT chick in branding....i think her name is khusboo....and rightly soo everytime she passes by i can smell the aroma....
i am surely going to miss the ATC(any time coffee)...
Then there are the other interns who have already left........my mentor's who taught me work here....the meetings in the meeting room...my desk....my PC....and the systems guy Sharad....
And also the "chachiya" employee Amogh...
the coming late and then making excuses...the most delicious veg cheese grill sandwich at a restaurant nearby(well this one i can have again...but still)....
The free food and petrol allowance....
the laughing and the talks in a hush-hush tone.....
The jumping at the first chance to go out on field.....My company paid trips to Karnataka,Mumbai and now Chennai....
The feeling of coming home after a long day at work...
And yeh in between maybe sometimes i might miss the work here....
But above all i am going to miss the Sunday holiday....which we used to get...

Yes i did learn quite a few things out here....but more than anything....I have instilled great confidence in mee....because i am more sure now that if vested upon a responsibility i will do good....not that i was doubting that...but now i am more certain....
The experience i have gained out here is highly regarded by me...for this i would like to thank my mentor's for giving me the opportunity to handle complex roles....
I even played the role of a undercover information extractor....or to make it sound cooler...letz say a SPY...

Did i do justice?...well i tried my best to do soo....
Am i happy.?...ohh yes i am...!!
soo is this the end....i think so...or maybe there might be a last surprise....letz see 2 weeks to goo...
..
P.S.: For the first time...i have got absolutely no work to do...in office...and i think Khusboo just smiled at mee.....shit!! such a despo... haha

Happy anniversary mom and dad...

Silver Jublee they call it....some say their best days are behind them....
Then there are few who say it's time your son takes over the reins..
And then there are others who just wish them....and be a part of their happiness like no other..

Itz been 25 years....yes it's their 25th anniversary and they are thousands of miles away from me....yet i feel connected...
I might not say this as much but really seeing you both enjoying and making jokes at each other is a real treat to watch...
Specially when my mom calls my dad a oldie and he tries to prove her wrong....
Clearly not many people really matter to me as much as you both do...
Today  I want to thank god for blessing me with such great parents....who by all possible means have made me the person i am today...
I know i lack in a few departments but that is just ok....i take responsibility for that....my parents tried everything but it's all my fault...
The best part about having such wonderful parents is you don't need anyone else to look upon....
Picture a kid who thinks His Daddy is the Strongest....
For me he Even now is...
My mom is the best care taker there ever was...
And they together is what everything one could ever wish for...

There is really nothing much i would like to say apart from Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad...
I love you Both....Thank you For Everything....

P.S.: Hope you guys are having a blast in Singapore...

We have been together for some time now but what a time....
I still clearly remember the first day of our class when we had a workshop...
and we were all very excited and anxious at the same time...

Adios my Visionary Aid...

You lived with me...you felt with me....
you rose with me....and you fell with me...
you saw with me or rather i would say i saw through you...

Little did i know that when i went to the Optician the other day you would feel soo bad and so Insulted that you would give up on me in anger just the next day....
you were the last person(thing) i had hoped who would leave me...
Yes i wanted a new one....but that never meant i was going to abandon you...

But as all good things come to an end , so did you...
you served me well...too well for that matter...
I had taken you for granted and so during the final days of your service you made me realize your importance...

So smart were you that you knew exactly what to do or where to break.....you came off at the right spot...soo that not only would i realize my mistake of overlooking you and ill treating you but also at the same time i could manage with the damage....
And so the damage was done and it was beyond repair...
No matter what anyone says....I know i had been bad with you....

:Roses:   :specs:      April 2009-January 2011       :specs:   :Roses:

 So that brings me to only 1 logical explanation....


Even though you were dying
Even though you were angry on me..
Even though i had ignored you for most of your lifetime
Even though i had battered and insulted you loads and loads of time
Even though you knew your end was near..
Even though you wanted to teach me a lesson...
You remembered your Duty to serve...
you have been like the unsung hero...
like the warrior..
like the Knight...
you stood by mee against all odds...

And today when you are counting your last few moments...as i am about to get you replaced...
I want to thank you and salute you...
For your service and for your Help...
Thanks for always being there...
You have created a benchmark for the others who will follow...
May you RIP...
Muwaah!!!

...
P.S.: So long my Old Broken Specs...

This ones for you lil princess!!

Whenever i needed a saviour...whenever i needed a guide.....you were always there to be my pride..


A small town girl...from a city in jharkhand...(which she still considers to be Bihar)....yeh but shez studied in indore....neways...



She rose to my happiness wen i was happy....
(dont ask me how...she simply used a chair)....and simply stood her ground wen i was low....(i.e. at her height)....

Call her my friend...call her my star...
call her my glove...call her my bone....
all i know is she was der wid me....wen i was all blown....

Yes shez my princess...my sweet lil princess....
who has been der wid me....wen i needed someone to be....

I try to keep her at bay but she makes sure she has her say.....
and more often than not....she does her best to find me a way....

I always wanted a sister....but never had thought that a lil bomb like  you could bring me that laughter...

If ever you need a pin....you cal me with ur tin.....
if u think twice to do the spin.....i promise you will be in the bin

On a serious note...
Thanks for being always der princess....ur the best!!!

P.S.: Chal Bhag Jaa...:P
