Life's like dat.....

life plays games.......

life is really harsh at times n thn soon it makes u realize hw funny it was to cry away a small stupid happenin....
i have not grown old enough to have tasted every small bit of the cake called life bt ol these days ...with every passing moment ol i had in my hands was a plentiful of experiences.........
.......experiences of varied interests .........of ppl.........places n minds................
n thn at a pt I realized myself lost........completely lost.......lost not in myself......but sumwhere amongst these experiences.........
.....I realized d fact dat dwn the line wat actually had its impact on me were nt my experiences wid ppl n places bt the ones wid 'minds'........
......n today whn I jot dwn this post I m too sure of my realization...
yes....the minds around me have really left n impression on me......

all my life I sought company of great minds bt I was mistaken coz I was huntin for greatness frm ppl of the same age as mine.......ppl wid d same intellect n the same discourse for life......
.....bt on this hunt for purity i found a heap of experiences...piled up for my..........
now I was out of this race standing ol alone ...n ol I remembered at this end of road were the minds........
....the frst pieces being those beautiful minds i met who had the strongest of willpowers..the most caring attitude n above all great frnds....thn dwn the line were the same few who were gr8 pretenders.....who wud jus like to make out the best of everything around.....be it be opportunities or circumstances or ppl...........it hurts...ya it hurts having ppl rather frnds seeking for profit n loss in frnshp............n thn I lost thm !!!
.....thn thereafter wat struck me hard were those whom I had jus considered normal n widout ne dearness or expectations who turned up to stand wid u for no petty reason of their own..........its fascinating........

i realized the gr8 minds flockin around my soul.........
n ya m happy........i have saved pretenses...............
n ya m finding true frnds ...............like the real gems I hold now.........though few......................... :)

We will still be friends forever ....

And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives

Where we're gonna be when we turn 25

I keep thinking times will never change

Keep on thinking things will always be the same

But when we leave this year we won't be coming back

No more hanging out cause we're on a different track

And if you got something that you need to say

You better say it right now

cause you don't have another day

Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down

These memories are playing like a film without sound

And I keep thinking of that night in June

I didn't know much of love

But it came too soon

And there was me and you

And then we got real cool

Stay at home talking on the telephone with me

We'd get so excited, we'd get so scared

Laughing at our selves thinking life's not fair

And this is how it feels

As we go on

We remember

All the times we

Had together

And as our lives change

Come whatever

We will still be

Friends Forever

So if we get the big jobs

And we make the big money

When we look back now

Will our jokes still be funny?

Will we still remember everything we learned in school?

Still be trying to break every single rule

Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?

Can we ever find a job that won't interfere with a tan?

I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye

Keep on thinking it's a time to fly

And this is how it feels

We will still be friends forever

Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?

Can we survive it out there?

Can we make it somehow?

I guess I thought that this would never end

And suddenly it's like we're women and men

Will the past be a shadow that will follow us 'round?

Will these memories fade when I leave this town

I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye

Keep on thinking it's a time to fly !!!!!!

yes...time flies by leavin behind the memories......

n thn these memories fade away with the passage of time...

on the sands f time....we cum across ppl...circumstances....lessons....learnings.................n so much more...

n this is where we get the ones who are made to be ol urs..one way or the other....

yesterday i was readin this book called 'Tuesdays With Morrie..'

a book of a student n a teacher..............

a student who finds his mentor in his childhood school teacher..............

a student who realises his worth only in his last days....

a really touchin story n an equally conscious thot........................

all our life we keep hunting for a soul who's much like us...

who understands the tits n bits which are a part of ours....

n in this wild hunt we step past ahead our real mentors.....

......ppl who cud actually critisize us for our follies...n dat too wid so much of care......

......ppl who bcum a part of our actions n thots....

all our life we keep dreamin of big things...

job..money....luxuries ....n wat not.........

n thn we kno wat we have actually left behind on the tracks of time....

.....n whn we realize this........its too late to get bak the golden words...the sweet moments....n the beautiful days bak to our lives.......

isnt it jus a waste f time.....................

make the best of every moment in life....

laugh as much as u can...

n spend the best of times wid ur loved ones...................

dats wat i call LIFE !!!!!!

LIVE LIFE KING SIZE !!!!

The Appraisal Season is ON !!!!

Hi ol....

...So as the title of this post suggests....The appraisals have begun for our batch...
aur apna appraisal form fill karna is one hell of a tension...
it decides upon the hikes...huh....
even if u r on bench...u need to fill in one.............and then the hunt for sum good content..........oomph !!!!

lemme tell u a story.....................

On a dark and foggy night, a small figure lay huddled on the railway tracks leading to the Pune station. At once I was held back to see someone in that position during midnight with no one around. With curiosity taking the front seat, I went near the body and tried to investigate it. There was blood all over the body which was lying face down. It seemed that a ruthless blow by the last train could have caused the end of this body which seemed to be that of a guy of around my age. Amidst the gory blood flow, I could see a folded white envelope which was fluttering in the midnight wind. Carefully I took the blood stained envelope and was surprised to see the phrase "Appraisal Letter" on it. With curiosity rising every moment, I wasted no time in opening the envelope to see if I can find some details about the dead person. The tag around the body's neck and the jazzy appraisal cover gave me the hint that he might be a software engineer. I opened the envelope to find a shining paper on which the appraisal details where typed in flying colors. Thunders broke into my ears and lightening struck my heart when I saw the appraisal amount of the dead person.......!!!!! My God, it was not even as much as the cost of the letter on which the appraisal details were printed.... My heart poured out for the dead and huge calls were heard inside my mind saying "no wonder, this person died such a miserable death"... As a fellow worker in the same industry, I thought I should mourn for him for the sake of respect and stood there with a heavy heart thinking of the shock that he would have experien! ced when his manager had placed the appraisal letter in his hand. I am sure his heart would have stopped and eyes would have gone blank for few seconds looking at the near to nothing increment in his salary.
While I mourned for him, for a second my hands froze to see the employee's name in the appraisal letter... hey, what a strange co-incidence, this person's name is same as mine, including the initials. This was interesting.
With some mental strength, I turned the body upside down and found myself fainted for a second. The person not only had my name, but also looked exactly like me. Same looks, same built, same name.... it was me who was dead there!!!!!!!! While I was lost in that shock, I felt someone patting on my shoulders. My heart stopped completely, I could not breathe and sprung in fear to see who was behind......... splash!!! Went the glass of water on my laptop screen as I came out of my wild dream to see my manager standing behind my chair patting on my shoulder saying, "wake up dude? Come to meeting room number two. I have your appraisal letter ready"..................

.....................................n thn there I was...................The Volatile ???

Normal Life is BORING ?????

Hi..

A different topic...huh...
Bt ya dat was for sure important..
So many of us feel that a routine life is monotonous..dull..or rather in plain terms boring..
Bt then jus go for a slight change n feel the unease it brings to ur day.......

Few yrs bak...a passenger aircraft was hijaked...
I was a kid thn knowin actually very less of wat it cud have done to the lives stuck up inside..bt still terrified knowin dat a passenger was killed n ol...
n today..i came across a real life story as narrated by a lady on board that very flight..n this was actually nerve stricking...............

havin bein fed wid ol sorts of inedible stuff for about a week....being cursed for a glass of water...a slice of an orange...or even fresh air to breath...................
wid a heavy heart which pines to be bak to the loved ones...which has the fear of nvr seein the world again...sobs n cries...............................wid the threat to life at every murmur..................
That was wat their life was.....................A Big QuestionMark !!!!!

I read this whole incident n thn I cud actually realise hw upset we bcum whn things dnt go the way we had wanted them to...n then born out of the circumstances, weird questions keep arising from even the best part of our know-hows....
its thn whn we wish our life was a bit changed..............different n everything .......................
bt wat if dis different turns out even worse..........

Hats of to all who have the guts to face these situations bravely n cum out victorious....!!!!

Now nxt time u feel life needs a change...jus Specify the One...

The Volatile......

The Virtual World

hey ol....

..was just thinkin 'bout this for the past few days.............
the environment I m wrkin wid is Virtual PC environment(a hell lotta slow n borin one)....
......bt then whnevr this virtual pc stops or hangs or creates ne mischief of dat sort..it actually forces me to think of the circumstances where in real life we may need to face sumthin as different as this...........

I was actually caught by the thought dat jus in case one day we are given a chance to live in a virtual world of our own where we can install a number of happy moments for ourselves and whnevr we get into it n face sum problems..jus cum out n trigger 'Turn Off and Delete Changes'........
dat ll be a good treat for sure.......!!!!!!!!!!!

amazingly u ll be able to create login sessions for all ur frnds n then no intruders wud be able to interfere wid ur sport...............

bt this is exactly what we live with these days................
we live like wat we wud wanna be...............
we live like wat others wud wan us to be...........
n we live like so many others around us............
n then we forget wat we r.........................
why cant we live like wat we are.............n then make this virtual world real for ourselves n ol around us................

"I like to be against the odds...
I m not afraid to be lonely at the top...
With me, its just the satisfaction of the game.............Just Performance !!! "

Dats y I m............The Volatile.................

mornin' frns !!!

hii

sorry i cudnt be up wid writing ol these days......
busy..yup........
n not wat i m like these days m staying in office till 12 midnite too.............
bt no wonder i m still the same........
i make up for that by comin late............he he he.................

kal phir ek meeting hai..........till 11:30 PM...................
kal phir waatt lagegi...........
kal phir mujhe maggi khaani hogi........ :)
ha ha ha..
koi fark niiii..................

office after 10 is great....
with very few ppl around.....
not much kit kit of the gettin smashed keyboards...
.......cups of tea.....with my specks on..................
silence...n then a sudden burst of laughter at some corner where a small grp is gigglin over sum petty issue in their aplication.....or another trying to take a break with a small chatter....
its ol fun....
n then the hungry team searchin for something hot n fresh in the cafeteria.............
its ol fun..............
yaar late ruko toh aisa lagta hai as if saare office mein ek hum hi responsibe reh gaye hain...
jokes apart......................its actually very tiring...............
standing in a meetin for more than two hrs....
givin presentations to ol non tech ppl.....
its definitely tirin.....................

so evn today m havin a lot of wrk...
b4n
its The Volatile.....

The Devil or the Kid within............

"Yahan insaan har pal haadsa hone se darta hai.....
.....khilona hai mitti ka.....fanaa hone se darta hai.....
......aur kahin na kahin hum sab k andar ek chota sa bachcha....
bahar ki beraham duniya ko dekh....bada hone se darta hai..................."

Probably Life's like dat....................

Hey ol.....

m bak after a long break......!!!!!!!

Actually this one was a real soothin break.....
All this while what interested me a lot was this article in the TOI about our Devil instinct............
The most catchy part was the statement that "there is a devil in all of us n this devil finds its best abode in the lap of innocence"...........
Isn't it a weird notion.............
The article illustrated the fact that a kid who has no knowledge of wat around him is right n wat is wrong is more likely to be dominated with this Devil instinct..........
He does mischief as a part of that.....n probably dat is how n dat is why he rather enjoys the destructive mood.....n as a person grows up he/she gets to know whats gonna earn name n fame n he is then bound to keep away from the devil.......rather hide it within himself............

But I think differently..........
I feel there's olways a kid within each individual.........a kid who wants to play.......who wants to laugh aloud when he is happy.....who wants to cry out his pain n anguish...........who wants to loiter freely in the abode of nature.....n cherish every moment possible....................
........bt then these orthodox shackles of the society come in their way n this kid has to shy away...........

I donno if I m rite or wrong.............bt then I wud still like to give it a thot...........

signin off wid this...........I m The volatile.........!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love me for a reason n let the reason be love...........

Hey ol.....

Yess m bak afresh to the world of bloggin..........
Sumthing really strange is happenin for the past half an hr or so.........
M not able to type a few characters such as "t" "h" n so wasnt able to post till now......
Not that dis problem is wid my keyboard bt the thing is that the blog window doesnt allow me to do so......
Strange na.........!!!!
Oh ya this one.........m typin it on the notepad n m gonna paste it to the blog now......
Pata hai ab tak maine almost har technique try ki so dat main direct blog mein likh sakoon....(even editing the html)
Chalo koi niiiii............luks like my earlier post ne hila k rakh diya blog ko.....he he he

Bak to the topic..........(Plz consider this as a continuation for the previous post)
Ya we were talkin of love...the purest of ol emotions.....the most innocent.....the most humble of ol relations...
Its a relation where u ignore the person's biggest follies n fight on simple petty issues....
Its one relation where a simple gesture of belongingness can count upon ol others.....
Love is any of a number of emotions and experiences related to a sense of strong affection or profound oneness......

Definitely its one emotion....one feeling that can end up ol the hatred in the world n make the world a happier....more peaceful..........lovelier place to live !!!!

Signing off wid this note...
its me.....The Volatile.....

In the dead of the night...
As I woke up in cold sweat...
Your hand was what I groped for...
Your hug, for what I wept.....
In the quiet of the morning...
As I got up bleary eyed...
Your warmth was what I yearned for...
Your touch for what I cried.....
In the chill of a rainy day...
As the water splashed my pane...
To share a blanket..a book..n tea...
With you..was all that I craved........
You may be far away from me...
You may not be mine...
My heart bleeds for you my love...
For you ..my soul does pine.........
No matter what the future holds...
No matter where we go...
My love for you is my life...
n will always be so.......................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Raho Bindaas..........Jiyo Bindaas.............

So now this sweet lil' Mickey teaches us a cute lil' lesson of life.........The more you cry over spilt milk...the more u worsen the situations..........

A smile is one sweet gesture which can lighten up any spirit.........

Greet every person...every situation...every day....every moment with a warm heart and a smilin face n its definitely gonna make things wrk out in a better fashion...........

Hey..puleeeeeez......for gawd sake.......m nt givin ne lectures.....................just felt like sharing the one truth i learnt in these days..........

The day I joined my company I was one of those happy-go-lucky persons on earth whose every wish gets granted ASAP.............n I used to find Lord as my best frnd whenever I felt sumthin cud go wrong...(which actually dint till then...!!!)

It ol changed whn I faced the real world.....The corporate world..............

I felt things wud go as smooth as ever but it wasnt d case this time..........

I faced failures in the field i believed i was well profound with.............

N then i felt my career all at the mercy of the Almighty...I was shattered.......I felt my life n myself so aimless (or rather useless at that point of life...)

N then it was this lovely bunch of my family, frnds n wellwishers who supported me in this hard time of mine...n helped me face this situation n cum out victorious.........

I donno if it was ever easy for me to face failures.........but once I was out of it I actually had learnt more out of life....I knew dat " every problem has a gift in its hand n ol u need to do is face it smilin n take the gift away.."

Neways I am again the same happy person.........jus dat I ve learnt to face hard times better............!!!!!!!

Chalo...bbye....

Happy Weekend :)

Monday Morning.....

Good Morning India...........

" Shaher ki iss daud mein..daud kar karna kya hai...........
...........agar yahi jeena hai doston toh marna kya hai..........."

Arre chill maaro........
Ab main munna bhai ki koi story nahin sunane jaa rahi...
But its so apt na...n dis is actually wat a soooooooo lazy person like me feels (..agar yahi ......toh marna kya hai.. :( ) on every Monday Morning......
Yeah the past two days...bole toh weekend was RaPcHiK..........!!!!

n to add to its beauty.........it rained heavily here yesterday.........
n aaj bhi bahar ka mausam badaa beimaan hai........................

So now my weekend was gr888..........
We went for the movie Penguins-A Love Story...........
its an Oscar winning movie n d narration is by Amitabh Bachchan....................
N d show was houseful.........a no of kids wid parents(who definitely dint understand nethin in the movie except for the cute penguins...........oh i luv dem too..........)......

N as usual i was very lazy gettin up in the mornin......
but had to cum to the office so had to get ready......
actually wen u get up late for two days...it bcums really difficult to adapt to the changes on monday.......

N today its like worse.........the AC is also not working damn ittt........!!!!!!!!!!
Its really hot....just if it was declared sum holiday n we cud enjoy the weather outside......... (its lovely out 2day...)
Actually a few complains have already gone n it may take sum time 4 dis problem to solve.......
N today there are verry few ppl in office.......coz those who had gone to their hometowns arent bak as yet....may b by afternoon.........

D hot news for the weekend was Mr. Narayan Murthy insulting the national anthem....n then case filed against him n ol..........
Was it true.....may be........but no one has rites to insult the national assets be it is the anthem or nething else...
Its we Indians who can make our country better........
We ll have to change this attitude of workin for the foreign nations (braindrain...)
Just imagine if all the Indian talent scattered around the globe cud gather up n work for their own nation wudnt it ever make a difference........
Today we arent gettin holidays on our own fests as Holi, Diwali n ol.........but we get gud vacation for the christmas n the thanksgivin n even the halloween................jus coz we arent wrkin for us but for them........
If one day all the MNCs get an off The work all round the globe gets affected.........

"Whatever we earn in India....whatever posts or deptts we hold......we are the first class citizens in our own country.....But however a big millionaire u bcum..........in a different nation u still are a second class resident...."

Isnt it better to be a respected citizen in your own nation............
Isnt it worth living for your own motherland........
Isnt it our duty to make India a developed nation.............
Isnt it ol worth givin a thot...........??????


Chalo I gotta work now.......

I just heard two of my colleagues cursing the company.....(he he he)............y........(he he he).........they r supposed to cum on this weekend..........monday ko client deliverable hai yaar..........
thank god dats not me........


neways...The Volatile is volatilising for the weekend..............
....no wonder on monday too.....

till then........
Sayonara...!!!!

Autowaale Bhaiyya.....!!!

Hi ol..

...as the new day starts...n provided its not a weekend (aah...!!! i love weekends..splly saturday coz its olways followed by a Sunday :) ).........
....oh ya m talkin of weekdays.......
..so my day starts at 6:30 AM in the morning whn i lazily wake up (yaaaaawnnn...!!) to get ready for the office...
..n then taking rests for a minute or two every other moment (bas 5 min aur so lete hain...)....
...by 7:35 AM.............yesss i m again late to be in time for the bus.....n now the only soln dat one can find is...dont walk to the bus stand.....take an auto rather.........

For us an auto upto the bus stand is never ol dat difficult owing to the fact that there's a school near our place n a no f autoricks cum to drop kids to d school.........
Now it happens most f d times dat there is this auto waala who cums at sharp 7:40 AM to drop students n we usually jump into his auto n ask bhaiyya thoda aur tez chalao na plzz.......

Now it so happened dat one day while waiting for my roommate in the auto i sumhow started talking to this so gentleman autowaale bhaiyya.......
n agaash.......
wat do i get to know.....

Me : U live sumwhere nearby??
He : Ya...I own a rowhouse near ******** locality................

He said it in such a way dat I was ..........my jaws dropped open.....
He told me.... " yeh jo apka waala ghar hai (where i own a simple 2bhk in a bunglow...dats jus a portion of it..) aur woh waala ghar na(pointing to the nxt bunglow) inko mila do toh haan sahi itna bada hai hamara ghar..."

I dinno wat to say now....
Having a row house in one of the most expensive localities in such a big city.........gr8.....
....n above dat.........supporting a family of around 17 ppl...........my gawd...!!!!!

He also told me dat he too has given a few portions of his small bunglow to petty s/w enggs like us..........

For the rest of the way we dint speak a word.....maybe i ve no idea y..............

n then it became so evident hw it can be done..for merely takin u a lane further these autowaalas wud charge u like nething.......no wonder they earn more than 50000 a mnth.....
......N then one of those big lessons I learnt frm life..........

Never underestimate a person by his looks or profession or ways or nething............u nvr know who he/she may be............!!!!!

I cudnt forget this incident ever...........n i olways blieved that man for the simplicity n truthfulness in his ways....definitely he was convincing n yet so humble n down to earth........

hum aaj bhi aksar ussi autowaale bhaiyya k saath jaate hain bus stand tak coz hum aaj bhi late hote hain aur aaj bhi we ve the fear ki agar bus nikal gayi toh office time pe kaise pahunchenge.................
n aaj uss din k incident ko yaad karte hain toh we cannot keep bak frm smiling too........... :):)

neways i m trying to be the morning Volatile..........
(so dat bus tak time pe pahuch sakein..... :P )

The fun never ends here..........

Shubh Sandhya..............(GudEvenin...)

Yes m bak...............
This time wid d college memories........

College was one place where i learnt a lot...........not just my syllabus stuff...........but moreover i had some of the most beautiful n a few most bitter experiences of life .........

An Engineering College is a place of its own kind.......a world different frm d world n 4 us a home away frm home.......

College.....hmmm..........dat was interestin as well.......
.....n I nvr cried before or after leaving my home for college.......actually was damn xcited bout it........

The first day......dat was gr8........i made my frst frns in the college........my best frns...........
Then was wat ol new joinees fear the most...............yesssss the blood thirsty seniors........

I was one wid an attitude......n I actually burst out laughin aloud seeing my batchmates so terror stricken..............
But then my turn had to come......they had some stupid rule of speaking only in hindi.....pure hindi(i dint mind dat....coz i had been scoring well in the subject olways..)......but hw does one expect me to know all rules immediately after entering the gates..........!!!

wat nxt............?? wat......!!!
arre bhai humne bhi saare jawaab angrezi mein thode tough si vocab mein de daale.........
bas fir kya tha.....dhuan dhuan.........all around me..........
They were ol in rage n told me the rules............
Bola....Pin Drop Silence ko hindi mein bolke batao.............
kya...........wat nonsense.........n then I did it.......
ans batau......????..........Sui Patak Sannata [;P] ..............he he he.....

phir maine maar li two day leave............n then whn i came up to the hostel the third day.......all eyes were on me.......
b4 dat lemme tell u they evn had rules like eyes down!!(dont look at a senior........bullshitt as if they thot they were ppl frm hollywood that one was dying to look at them n say........autograph puleeeeeeeeez.....)

I was made to sing infront of the whole batch n then my shaitani khopri worked n out of the blues came out a song...................

" la la la................na sar jhuka k jiyo aur na muh chuppa k jiyo..................."

bas usske baad...............ppl bak to their places.....raggin meetin dissolved..........
n whn we were bak to our rooms in the evenin.......waakka rooooooooooony.............
ans hans k lot pot ho gaye..........
we laughed n laughed for almost midnite.......
then it went on...........
d frst year passed.....we were now asked to leave the hostel n find sum accomodation in the city.........

dat was terrible....we protested........news flashed on local n state channels n newspapers...........interviews..rallies......road block.........locking up staff in the admin till they give in to our demands.........we did ol we cud........

..........n finally whn the list of ppl breakin rules was made my name was there again...on top !!! (as olways...)
nothing happened................
then this was the time I broke..........I lost my best frnd.........she passed away..........i was left ol alone............
.......n then I found my true companions.......my frnds for ol times......good or bad..........they were there wid me..........n my parents who supported me for everything right.......!!!!

life was full of gaiety n mirth ol the rest of the days.........
I got knowledge for hw shud i choose ppl in my life......hw to save myself frm those who r born to ditch you at ne point........n so much more out of life...........

I m happy to ve spent my 4yrs learning not just frm my books....but frm ppl n frm life.............

abhi mere paas college time se related ek poem aayi hai............jus wanna share it with u all...........
chk it out....

woh college ka 1st yr..
ghoor kar seniors ka kehna..come here....
seniors ko dekhte hi ud jaate the hosh..
masti mazaak bhool jata..kam pad jaata josh...
3rd button ki taraf dekhna aur 90 degree pe wish maarna..
zara si galti karne pe woh srs ka datna..
normal ka toh pata nahin par technical intro rata hota tha..
class k ladko ko bhale na jaante ho...
ladkiyo ka poora pata hota tha..
present lagti thi hostel mein..
class mein lagti thi proxy...
............
...........
........
college k dino ki woh yaadein..
patli patli guides..moti moti kitabein........
.........
............
.................
college k un dino ki yaadein rakhna chaha hai .........

keep in touch doston kehna chaha hai........

seriously dat was a very different phase of life........
jahan mom nahin tech mom hoti thi...
jahan dad nahin tech dad the.........
jahan college mein hi hamari poori family ban jaati thi...
brother...sister.........everybody...............dat was awesome.........!!!!

haan seniors ki kuchch baatein buri lagi toh unhein kabhi apne juniors k saath repeat nahin kiya..........
seniors were good too......very good frns too............i think dats wat is life............

a few things dat happen for ol sumtime or the other whn we r in college.........

1. On being Late

"Kab chalu hua?"
"Attendance ho gayakya??"
"Kal raat der tak gappe marte rahe yaar"
"Ab nind nahi khuli to mein kya karu......... bolna ....... kal kyapadaya tha sir ne"
"Kal se pakka class karunga"
"Ek page de na.......... abe pen bhi to de......."
"Kal proxy mara tha kya"
"Yaar iss class ke liye koi subah kaise aa sakta hai........"

2. During the lecture


"Yesss!!!! Sir.......The answer is........huuuummmmm.......aaaaaaaa............"
"No sir.....I know the answer ......sir...."
"Saala apne aapko Newtonsamajta hai"
"Uske bagal mein nahi baith sakta tha.......gadha......."
"mera assignment tere paas hai??"
"Heads, we go canteen , Tails, we go canteen now!!!"
"Boss class khatam hote hi chai chahiye......"

3. Lab

"Expt. 2 likha??"
"Idhar Karna kya hai??"
"Yeh bhai.....mereko aata to tere pass kyon aata........"
"Areee tu to bura maan gaya.......data dikha na........."

4. Unit Test

"Unit test???? ......Aree yaar...... "
"Kya...... abe unit test mein itne topic hai to annual mein kya hoga...."
"Boss..... hogaya......aur nahi ho sakta........jaan nahi de sakta......."
"Oh !!! Itna syllabus cover ho gaya?"
"Aaj kounsa test hai?"
"Oye Sanjiv kaha hai......uska roll number mere baad hai.......wo nahi aaya to mein pakka fail...."After test......"yaar pada tha....recall nahi kar paya.......chhod na ....... Canteenchalega..." SAHI !!

5. For attendance (less attendance isliye attendance badane ke liye bahane)

"I was in the class, lecturer mark karna bhool gaya"
"Oye usko thoda khush kar list se tera naam hata dega........"
"Bola tha proxy regularly maar....... tera class karne ka kya faida hua....."

6 . After exam

"Yeh bhi syllabus mein thaa kya?"
"Achha !!! ye aise hota hai kya?"
"Ye subject ka reference book kounsa hai"
"1st mein 3 marks.....2nd mein 0.......3rd mein 2....... Gaya..........fail pakka......."
"Yaar notice lagte hi faad dena........wo kya soochegi mera marks dekh kar......"

arre forget it................

agar college ki aur baatein karne baithe toh raat ho jaegi.........no wonder we keep laughing till tomorrow...........................

yaad aaya...........once there was this non tech seminar............n i was asked to show my oratory skills..........ON D SPOT.............

n i had no topic on my mind........ol i cud finally think of was PROXY............a gud nontech topic.......
i spoke n ol of us were laughing for around 20 good reasons stating hw y n wen proxy proves best..........

those were days...................!!!!!!!!!!!!!
to sum up..........

........... bas ek bar wapas lautne ka man karta hai
................... Aaj har wo baat yaad aati hai
................... kuch buri batein jo ab acchi lagti hain
................... kuch batein jo kal ki hi batein lagti hain
................... abki baar class attend karne ka man karta hai
................... Dopahar ki class mein aakhen band karne ka man karta hai
................... hostel ke chat ki wo raat yaad aati hai
................... exam ke time pe wo hasi mazak bahut pyari lagti hai
................... tab ki bekar lagne wali photo's chehre pe hasi laati hai
................... Apni galtiyon pe tumse daat khana yaad aata hai.
.................. Par tumhari galti dekhne ka man karta hai
...................Ek aisi subah uthne ka man karta hai.
.................. bas ek bar wapas lautne ka man karta hai
................... bas ek bar aur
................... wapas lautne ka man karta hai........

School Dayz..........!!!

Goodmorning.........

Namaste....

Salaam.....

Satshriakaal...........

So there is again sumthing really really spl 4 me n i ope even ol u ppl will njoy it too...........
....its a part of the sweetest memories of my life..........
....its a part of my childhood.....n innocence...........
....its a part of what i m now n wat i ve now...............
....Yep...!!! its a part of me.................

its my School Dayz.......!!!

toh fir ho jaaye flashbak.....................

Long long ago...(jyada nahin yaar ;) ).......there was a little kid....(i feel it still sumwhere mastiyaaing around me...) ........

........oh no...........i dont remember much of dat long ago.......

but ya.....i do remember how i used to ve 100% attendance record in school........
........n ol coz i met so many good frnds(those whose frnshp i cherish evn till date...).......n we ol hade dat full attendance on our cards...

that small gang of five is now dispersed but anyhow we get a chance we r there to make one more lovely day on our calendar..........

we were a grp of five mischeivious , intelligent , smart ppl...........(see m beating my own trumpet now...he he he).......

after school we ol chose different streams owing to which we are in the different parts of the country now.....giving in our best for the professions we chose......

i was olways like a verrry naughty kid in school........

i remember n incident whn there was a cricket match being played in our classroom in a free period (of course wid registers n duster) n whn suddenly a SIX hit the blackboard.......smash........n d board which was actually made out of glass shattered to pieces.......

i was in my computer lab at dat time..........n boooo the stupid games teacher (we used to call him Rancho(frm the serial Raja n Rancho)...the monkey wid a stick in his hand n a whistle hanging around his neck..)......came up n held a list of students involved in the crime............

n wat more it included my name too.........(i wonder if m so good a player !!)

things got cleared up soon as then toh I never had ne control on my anger n i almost faught wid him............

but now it was our classteacher....a crooked lady who asked the culprit to pay for the board.....poor kid hw cud he go up n ask for such a big amt to his parents....just to get a few more punishments.........

finally we ol decided up......n poured in ol our pocket money(the whole class !!).....n the amt was paid n our class teacher...stunned (wat else.......!!!!) at this EKTA shown by us.........(our remarkable unity..gr8 na!!)

n yep we were charged a fine of 1re on speaking 1 word in hindi too.........

hindi se yaad aaya...........ek ma'am thi hindi ki jinko angrezi bolne ka bahut mann karta tha......

aur unka favourite sentence tha........

"both of u two............get out of class..........n stand" (ha ha ha)

n definitely we cud nvr nvr control our laughter.........coz this was ol she evr spoke in english....n jus to make ol realise hw good she was in english she used to throw ppl out of class for no reasons....

aur aur yaad nahin aa raha............

ya we went out for a literacy march once.............dat was gr8...........
among ol schools in d city..our charts were d best..........(wow)

n yes hw can I ever forget my sweet 6th n 7th std class teacher varsha ma'am.........she was so angelic in her personality......pure beauty....laughing eyes.....smiling lips.........we ol adored her........

n then she got married.........n crackkkkkk so many hearts broke........
u kno wat a no of boyz in the class were wishing to get married to her........
n one of them so crazy he was........he used to design wedding invitations [: P](He weds Varsha..)...
Can u imagine........!!!

we ol missed her aftr she left....

i remember........my school..........my teachers........my frns n everything................

ya i miss dat ol..........

it was in my school where i realised the importance of being known.........the importance of havin an identity of your own..........

it was in my school where i got to kno so much.........so much bout the world..........books.........novels............. n everything..........

i wish i can have my school days bak...........

coz...............

"...........................those were the best dayz of my life"

n now i m alone in this 6X6 ka area.............

isske baare mein bhi kuchch kahoon........

ok........

In the confines of the cubicle..
..glowing by artificial lite..
Sippin coffee frm the wendin machine day n nite..
Speakin on the phones in the meeting we sit..Staring at the monitor n the keyboard we hit..
Remembering them while workin on our seat..
This is life for us away frm our loved ones........

today we are Software Professionals !!!


missin school..........
missin u ol frns......
here i am........

.....the volatile !!!!
