Day of Joyand contentment for my parents. They became very happy to see me smiling. My mother used to tell me that doctor used to call me "Daroga ji" . I dunno why and how this name came into his head..may be i was looking like a lil daroga or can say brave cop. he he..far from reality 22 years hence i graduated from Dayalbagh Engg college and got posted in an Engineering giant as Design Engineer. Well not simply graduated i topped in my college and got "Director's Medal" for that ( 19th November 2004). That day also, my parents were happy. Happy for my success, they felt this way but i made them realised -it was their success. Years of love, sacrifice, care and concern helped me achieve what i achieved that day. Years have passed after that, got married and got a very good friend- My wife. My first Bday with her has been one of the most wonderful experiences of my life. She made feel the importance of the day of my birth to me, convinced me how m...

DO WE REALLY CHANGE AFTER MARRIAGE ? IS BEING MARRIED REALLY BLISS ? T oday when i was going through the TOI, i got stuck with these captions of an article and i couldnot resist myself reading that article fully. Well thats the first change that i have felt after getting married- read read and read any article with captions like "married, or marriage etc". Not because everything is not fine, its coz of that extra craving to cross the perfection which in reality never happens. I would humbly say that its quite early for me to vouch that "marriage is a bliss or not" coz every thing has a warranty and i m into that phase. Once this guarantee period is over , i would in a better position to comment whether -Marriage is bliss or not. However, the other question- do we really change after marriage ? Answer is perfect and clear -'YES" We do change and all changes happen for good and for maintaining harmonious relations with the environment at home and around. Slee...

L ife is a game and one should always be ready to face its googly anytime. It will catch us unawares, we will be surprised at the tricky situation life poses at us and we have no solution for that. We would feel frustrated, helpless & exasperated and in the end the one who tries to get out of that tricky situation finds a way out of that maze and he succeeds in cracking an undecipherable code of life. This is the way we all should look at life and address our relations. We move with lots of people, we talk with friends, we dine out with loved ones and freak out for crazy activities with our buddies .....during all these activities we are unconsciously cracking that "code" of life. Depending on level of maturity , sensibility and intelligence- sometimes we succeed and sometimes we fail. When we are with a group we tend to lose our individuality and drape ourselves with a general pattern of behavior and silhouette of the group. We work with consensus , we face scuffles with...

"loading...... ███ 10% ██████ 20% ██████████ ...failed---Unskilled Batsmen" W hat do you think is so potent, so extensive, so contagious which grips 100 million Indian citizens in one go..??? Is it Rakhi Sawant's Item song..? Is it Manmohan's Speech ? Is it CNN-IBN News ? Is it Yash Raj's new release ? Nope.... It is something which has got tremendous penetration- be it Delhi or Kanyakumari, Surat or Assam, its ubiquitous with equal energy and effects. It is present in narrow lanes of Hyderabad to Shivaji stadium of Maharashtra, its in heart of every Indian, people cancel all appointments to enjoy it. It is cricket. Never in the past something had been more famous than cricket and nothing is more contagious than cricket and nothing can replace the popularity of cricket in the years to come. So what is it that makes cricket such a popular sport in India ? Before answering this question, i would like to go back to the basics first. What is popularity ? What are t...

L ife goes on and so are we. Sometimes we try to catch up with life but when we move slowly we fail to match the pace of life. Fact is time runs at its own pace, its all about the momentum WE deliver to our lives by our activities and actions, its all about affection we create for our lives by loving or admiring someone, its all about focus and commitment we show towards our goal, career and family, its all about enjoying what we have all around, its all about living with peace and harmony, its all about being true and honest to fellow humans, its all about living a healthy life ---Life is all about this. Its ideal. Things donot happen the way they are supposed to...rather they offer a trick, spin and googly to check our capabilities and strength to sustain the pressures of the various forces around. I have started believing that life balances its act of giving and taking and but it will definitely not deter you from your destiny. I dont know whether any invisible force exist, i dont ...

G i ve it a thought......?? Hmm.....many answers..huh....Life, Emotions, Feelings.....in reality the kind of response to this question would prove the kind and expanse of thinking we all have. We live a contended life, we get breakfast, we take lunch, we take dinner and besides all this we also indulge ourselves in enjoying .."sabka thanda ek" et al....How..and Why..?? We live in a country where development is taking place at a very fast pace , we are challenging developed economies in various fields and we have enough disposable income to shell out for sth to eat besides regular diets.....result ....opening up of retail food outlets. like...McD, Pizza Hut, Yo China.....for coffee freaks >>...Barista, CCD etc...where they charge more than what they actually spend to prepare that stuff but v all pay happily.. i would never mind to shell out 100 bucks for Russian Frappe @ Barista and Vijay Malaya would never mind to shell out 500 bucks for a cup of coffee @ 7* Hotel, it d...

I t was seventh semester in my Engg college and placement fever was picking up. Many friends joined MBA coaching instis to brush up their aptitude and vocab skills. I didnot joined that rat race as i was more concerned for my suckin acads. I was through with my vocab stuff and was busy collecting past question papers of different companies which visited our campus for PPT and final placements. My Hit List was clear- either Tata Motors or TCS. Preparations were going on nicely, campus was abuzz with placement activities, guys were busy with sth be it final year project or placement prepzz or competitive exams. An air of determination and sincerity was apparent in all my college friends. After lots of jugad and magajmaari we managed to get some sample questions of past year Tata motors placement questions. Man...they were really difficult..we all thought ..if they gonna ask questions of this frequency we better change our hit list....but NO...we are not weak ass ..we all spoke in unisio...
