I'm tagged.

All facts and mistakes (If any) in this post are just not for “abuse, misuse and make any breaking news”.  And if you find any resemblance in this post it’s just because so many of us grew up playing the same play of god - ”Life”.

Yeah! I was shocked and still I'm. When I saw my name tagged on her blog post. Out of so many kick-ass bloggers she tagged me and I'm glad that she did.  Now, as I was tagged in the post by my friend, mentor Viji Suresh.  According to the blog post I have to follow some rules.

The rules are :-

1)    11 facts about yourself.

2)    Have to answer all 11 questions you have been asked.

3)    No tagging back.

4)    Have to tag 11 bloggers and make them go through all the process again.

Well, I’m going to break the last rule of this post (Not wantedly but I’ve to) because I’m not that big kick-ass blogger that people like to follow. And that’s why leading without followers (A silly thought to ignore the reality).  Actually I don’t have enough followers to tag but, that does not mean I am a fail blogger, I’m just a beginner (what a thought, beginner, Lol).

Let's get back to the work. 11 facts about me.

1.    I love travelling. Exploring different places but not alone with my friends or family.

2.    Seeing sunset and walking on the beach at the same time, it kills my time easily and I can do it daily.

3.    Every night when everyone’s asleep, I grab my books and start reading. I’m in love with books.

4.    I always want to keep going for new adventures and grab experiences then write about them. Writing is my way of exploring myself.

5.    Crazy about basketball.

6.    A strong relationship with automobiles, gadgets and games. I keep them up to date and they do the same for me.

7.    I believe in simplicity. But I hate sometimes being so ‘cause girls don’t like it.

8.    I always make sure that I’m not hurting my parents and work hard to bring a long lasting smile on their face.

9.    Bad in socializing and that’s why I have only few counted friends. I have heard people saying that I don’t have time for them.

10.  The first and last thing I hate in my life about is Indian politics and politicians. But I like them in the room called Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha.

11.  I have always suffered from financial problem and still looking for the solution.  The only one thing never goes out of my mind and heart.  Let me know if you got the solution before then me.

Questions from Viji to me:-

1.    If every day is a page in your life, would you allow yourself to turn back the pages and refer?

Yes, I will do that just to check that I’m not repeating the same mistakes that I have done in the past.

2.    Mention one book, one movie, one song that changed your life/influenced in some way.

There are lots to mention but here will mention Stephen coveys book “The seven habits of highly effective people” Which taught me many things I should know to lead my life.

3.    "Life is but a dream?"your take. Without doing a google search, do you remember the nursery rhymes that have this line?

I never heard about this line before as I was in Hindi medium school, where teachers teach English also in Hindi.

“Life is but a dream”- I do believe that Life is nothing but like a dream.  Our possibility or excitement of being something in life comes from imagination and dreaming, for me it’s the way of planning.

4.    If "love is the best teacher" in the world, having this zest for knowledge and basically ambitious in nature, would you go for more than one love at the same time?

Umm..Yeah! I’ll go for more than one because knowledge is everything and one should be eager to learn anything and everything at any time.

5.    "Something in the air", have you used this vague "something" liner for not so vague action of yours? I can give you an example if you insist. 

No.  Never before but I have heard from some.

6.    Have you ever wondered, why "love" is a four letter word and "sex" three letters? Is it because "love" takes years to develop and "sex" barely "11 minutes"? Feel free to add your valid points.

No. Never before but according to me love is the mother of sex and so it can’t be compared.

7.    If it takes half your lifetime to be successful in a career and have barely a decade to retire, where did you fail? Diversions during the "half your lifetime"?  Eager to hear what these diversions can generally be and should we avoid them or indulge?

One who looks for retirement, he/she can’t be called as successful. It’s enough to say for me because I feel I’m still a kid who himself is in a middle of learning these things.

8.    The fruit you like the best or atleast make an effort to eat.  I don't want answers like, "healthy food? no no to me".  The fruits you prefer to say a lot about what kind of a person you are.  I have my own version of this, quite elaborate and if not hilarious, "put a smile on your face" versions... after seeing your answers, will write a post on this.

Mangoes are my all time favorite fruit. Though I like some more fruits but they are not at all close to this. After all “king ki pasand king”.

9.    Define life; Define death - I want your version please.

Life is an opportunity to everyone to do anything and everything your own way.

Death ensures there is no second chance for anything so, prove yourself always in the first chance.

10.  I am asking you to prepare a story board for a 3 picture comic strip.  Only 3 pics, nothing more and the shorter the better.  I will do a sketch for your storyboard and lets create a rip roaring comic strip/funny/moderately funny. Atleast we can call it ours.

The first frame I want is, you are teaching me like all teachers do. Second frame you are giving punishment for not following your words. The last one I want you to frame is, you are running behind me with a stick.

11.  What is my greatest regret?

Simple, that I’m still under learning process of English language and last in the race of life if I compare with some people around me. Sometimes feel underrated and unappreciated but that can be ‘cause I deserve that. I don’t know but there are lots of questions and regrets that I need to answer to turn off some minds and destroy their unappreciated thinking.

A Evening to remember ;)

                        All I can taste is this moment and all I can breathe is your love in this air, wow - such a nice evening at beach. Sun is about to go to sleep, people around me at beach were staring at me like they never have seen a boy admiring an angel through the eyes.  It was a perfect evening for a walk; everything was looked in its place.  I can say a perfect timing nothing was amiss. I can feel the feeling of being in heaven on earth. I can’t forget those eyes, her lips, her fingers, her hairs, a perfect girl beside me at beach.  Ceaselessly I was admiring her and her smile was killing me though I have never believed in love at first site and I was feeling something like that at that time.

                    Whenever I would hear a talk on love at first site, I used to close my eyes or just tried to leave the conversation ASAP as it was worthless to know about. Though I do have an imagination but I never allow myself for this that love at first site is actually possible.  I have never been in a relation or never spend much time with a opposite sex, may be the reason for not believing is this only. But the truth be told, we all want to be loved – whichever way it might be. Whenever my friends used to ask about being single, I tried to convince myself and tell them that I was perfectly happy being single. Well the truth is I dint really mean that and wish for my very own angel to come and sweep me off of my feet.

                    Perfect evening – sun was about to close the eyes and in a gentle way it was saying have wonderful evening of your life. A fascinating smile was catching my eye balls, I was feeling incompetence to do something right there except admiring her smile.  I just had started the evening walk with my shadow, fortunately or unfortunately she too started walk beside me with a cute puppy. My eye balls were rolling and getting stuck at her eyes.

                     Felt like she was telling "Raise your lips to the sky and catch the words that rain from my heart...” She might have felt the same way but who knows just I can see is the speaking eyes. I felt like I was looking at someone I'd known all of my life. And the question was hitting in my mind was- Is your heart in your eyes? And I was saying I love your puppy but I’m in love with you more than that. She was staring from her corner of eyes and those eyes were telling an untold mystery which belongs to me. Now I had a good view of her face and a good feeling arise in my heart (please don’t kick me to tell that from where that feeling come from, where is the source of that feeling) things were moving very slowly except the time. My heart was skipping the beats at times don’t know what was actually happing right there.

                Whenever I look at her smile, I feel lost in heaven and it took me two seconds/milliseconds to regain my composure. I was heading to whisper something in her ears - got a nice slap at my back.

               Uhh…no don’t think that she did this, this slap was from my elder bro. He was waking me up and yelling at me that you are getting late for your office, and here my dream took flight for hell and ended ASAP though I wanted to continue, and now I realize that love at first side is possible and it happens.

              “The stars, the moon and the sun in the sky could never outshine your brilliance. I thank heaven for this dream and for you, my earth angel!”

Life Management in College :P

                   Ringggg!! My mobile started vibrating, I saw a friend’s name popped-up on the screen and as soon as I picked the call he started telling about many colleges out there in Chennai.  According to my certificate condition I saw some colleges but unfortunately I dint get admission in famous or big college in city areas. Depression was there in heart, I was totally blue what to do and what not to?

Where to go for admission?

Should I go to my native?

Should I try here some more colleges?

                 There were many questions for which I wanted some appropriate answer though I dint get any right away at that evening. Then one of my friend suggested me to go a college (Nazareth college of Arts & Science) near to my living place though that college was not famous, dint had much facilities too, but I took this talk as opportunity and jumped in that college very next day. And after a couple of hour the enquiry session was taking end.  Then right after the enquiry I call up to my dad and asked his opinion about in this regard.

                   I saw green signal from my dad and then right away I took admission there. Now the next difficult moment was starting at a new college without all my friends in school was something that was worrying me. At the very first day in college I was like newly born bird doesn’t know how to fly. I was feeling scared, nervous, worried and excited too; I did not know whether to laugh or cry or what to do. It was like i have landed in some other country  mistakenly, where everything was very unfamiliar to me.

                   Finally – entered in college and i kept my legs dragging to reach near a group of people standing inside the college. I did not know any one of them, was feeling so lonely and scared from inside. My heart was skipping beats that much fear was there in mind. Finally I ended up in my allocated classroom where i entered and sat down on a bench. I was so nervous by now. Slowly the room began to fill with other students in the same department in which i was (BBA).

                  Suddenly a bizarre moment happen to me was I saw my schoolmate friends coming in the same class i was. My excitement was on peak, immeasurable. I felt so calm and relaxed as if I’m at my home. Finally everyone settled down at their respective places and classes started with introduction. Unknowingly god wasp going on helping me through this whole time and i must be thankful to god for this aid to me.

                  College life began in a very special way to me as I was again with my schoolmates. And one new friend, i can say a special person (Arvind Singh) all the way from Rewa (M.P). Like I have suffered a lot in my school life to get pass mark the same condition was his at the college as he was a Hindi medium student. His love and care made him to fall in schoolmate’s category though he was not my schoolmate. His conduct and behaviour was good, kinda fun-loving guy he was and that’s what makes me to miss him a lot now days. Some more unforgettable friends were there in my class whom I miss sometime at some situations. Though I would love to say that we all college-mate completed our college life successfully like a family.

                   We used to have chat and all the normal things that students of college at our age use to do or love to do. The break time was great we all Hindi gang use it as time to socialise and relax or teasing, playing. And the lunch time was great as well the way we use to eat was more fascinating and enjoyable moment for us. 

Pen Fighting - Hardest battle.

                   We use to eat asap and give kick-start to pen-fighting (The pen that writes our life story, we also use that for fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight :P ) , we use to play like hell. Every free hour drag us to play pen-fight. Though we get punishment for this, we dint stop it. Hope all my collegiate could not able to forget those happiest moments.

                  Words are not enough to express the feeling for our lecturers; they were just awesome in many ways though we use to irritate them like hell. They may forget us but we can’t as they were like god to us. I know that lectures in the class or boring topics of our subjects makes us feel discomfort in class but still our lecturers tried to help us out by entertaining in between the class or not taking the class sometimes. College life was sometimes irritating like hell but at the same time it was very beautiful time we all Hindi gang have spent together. As we know time never stops for anyone, three year of time passed like anything and we got separated. But I can say that life is here full of purely fun, joy and happiness all around. Caste and religion never bothered us at any point because for us friendship was the only religion we know ego is a word we never know though our self esteem was never low. Now missing the time has passed away. People say time heals everything but i don’t think that time can heal this wound we have.

                   I’ve heard from many that college is the place where we have to run behind the books all the time and it is all about work but I never feel the same, yeah!! I know it is not easy but it is the best place to be and spend time in learning new things.  College has helped us to gain self confidence and many more skills. “A college education shows a man how little other people know”, so don’t be put off college, it’s brilliant and you will love it when you will start because I did!!

                    Tough – very, very tough moment is this present in which we all are separated from each other. Actually in seek of a better future we all get separated but I’m waiting for the day when each and every member of Hindi-gang will get a good life and start rejoicing every moment of life. The reason behind writing is my precious friends.

And now the life is going on....!

Friends & Friendship - "Important to life"

                 True! – Difficult – very, very difficult for me to explain a true friendship and also wouldn’t claim to be a perfect person to understand friendship but i’ve learned and gained some knowledge about it, moreover i’ve some countable friends but they have showed me the real meaning of that. Even i questioned this to some of my friends and they found it tedious question to answer.  So i’m throwing my feelings in my less than perfect words.

                A lot of people go through this life without friends, some with few friends. It seems that they have very less or none to share their own feelings or their good times or bad.  There is no one with whom to bounce the idea around, or to talk about something knee deep feelings.  And when you won’t have anyone to share your feelings believe me you are at the mercy of life, standing alone.

              And many are lucky who have a multitude of friends. They are lucky because wherever they go, people know them and they like to be around them. They know with whom they should share the feelings of good times as well bad. Life is full of entertaining and invigorating relationships because it is full of friends and i’m agreeing with this point.

             I know you must be thinking why the heck i’m explaining this here to you or kicking you to read but actually as soon as i felt that friends and friendship is blessing of god, i wanted to write something about my friend circle. I have a few deep and loyal friends than the many superficial ones. My friends cheer me up in my knee deep sorrow or when i’m depressed. I often just want them around to have some fun, act silly and have some good times with them, so that i can collect some memorable moments with my friends.  In how many ways they have enriched my life and made me feel loved, accepted, respected and cared for me? Probably, too many if will prepare the list and the interesting thing is, it grows daily.

Some of the thing i’ve learned from them is listed below, hope you find it correct and useful:-

v  Encourage your friend so that they can be able to challenge their own reasonable limits and achieve something big.

v  One sure way to destroy your own friendship is by not to forgive them for their mistakes. Be willing to forgive them.

v  One thing i feel more important is your own words – “i’ll be there always for you”.  Just let them know by your action.

v  Don’t ever try to control your friends – just let them feel the freedom and importance of your friendship.

v  Just learn to accept as they are and accept the personality changes in them in various situations.

v  You should learn to keep the secrets of your friends. Frankly saying - don’t be blabbermouth with your friendship.

v  Don’t ever let misunderstanding or argument destroy your friendship.

v  And last but not the least one, never be greedy minded. Don’t look for what you can get out of your friendship.

Laconically would like to wrap up this story because i don’t want you to get bored by this, though i know there’s lot thing to follow and also to share.  I would like you to shoot something to your mind, is that you should be thankful to god and you must be thankful for your beautiful life with crazy-good-friends around you.

A Life- Never Thought of - " II "

              I’m delighted to see the interest of the readers on my crazy-story of life “a life never thought of”. Micro-blogging the progress of this story was because of a wrong illusion in my crazy head that people won’t read this blog moreover they won’t read this at least.  And also because writing (for me) is a long, painful business, and i don't plan to go with this again very soon. If i’m giving a kick-start to this again that is just because of the reader’s and i’m very thankful to them.  My present situation is that i have so many things to write, there is so many thoughts and words which are rolling in my head but will continue with this story as i have to drag this off to the end in couple of hours.

               I’ll be brief because i’m writing a lot at the moment, just not here. So as i mentioned in my previous page that my concentration was on my carrier, i really was looking for something big in my life within a span of time. After finishing my schooling there in k.v. Afs, avadi” one more hard time has come to fight with, one more decision to take, and i’ll say life is full of problems but also with opportunities.

So my parents questioned me “do you want to stay here or want to fly to other states?”

                I found this question very difficult to answer than my board exam papers.  In reply, do you know what i said- give me a couple of days to sleep on it, so that i can come up with good decision. And later over a night i visit to my dad and said that i got a dream of staying in chennai and pursuing my education to the further level.

Dad replied- it’s just a nightmare don’t take any decision based on it or else you may get kicked by your dream and you will be left here to regret, nothing else.

Of-course he was right at his point of view but still my mind was stuck with that dream and this made me chew over for two days. After a couple of days my dad again jab me and asked me for the answers. I could not get rid of that so i answered abruptly in these words-“okie so here is my answer i want to stay here and continue my carrier”. Then he said i’m glad to know that you decided to stay here, i was expecting this from you and many more some cheesy lines which was tempting me to hug my dad right away for a second at least, though i failed.

                  Hardest decision of my life was taken by me; i couldn’t believe that. I’m not sure how practical this was at the moment. After this decision life was not so easy to me but still i tried to never give up and fly-off from state.

I tried for many colleges in chennai which were tempting me after finishing my school life. But dint get admission in any of them so in my frustration (at myself), i expressed my unhappiness in fluent hindi on one of my social networking site. This wouldn't have happened if i'd have not run over on my dreamy decision. “creativity starts with a problem” that i have learned through this whole process. But somehow got admission in a college, not much famous but i must say that was matching my level and gave me a great opportunity to take a flight of my dream and landed over the destination of realty. I took admission without any delay and started my college life happily. My dailycrushingsenseoffailure made me to feel down sometimes but cause of some best and close friends i improved, in another term updated me to the next level where i should take rest and enjoy. “a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step” well said quote which i love to follow and i think i’ve taken my first step for my well destination.

             Thanks to each and every friend, teacher, mentor, lecturer who have been helping me through my whole life, i must say because of them now i’m making some cents through a company. I've met some people online that i'm sure will be lifelong friends! I’m very thankful for those that are in my life and that have helped me get to where i am.

"A life - Never thought of - " I "

                       Hi won’t you like to read about me? I know you won’t because i’m not celebrity to read or someone should talk about but i think you can meet a real kaushal by this short story, don’t think that i’ve become too big for my shoes or in my life that you should start off reading about me, perhaps me too never thought of writing this but sometime when we don’t have anything to do and think about rather than connecting to our past life so I just sang about it.  You may get bored of reading this as a story or article but this is "A life i never thought of getting".  Every human being starts off his/her life with nothing i too consider myself in them, I’m not much interesting not much enticing in look and also not intelligent.  There is nothing to get shock if you hear ‘dumb’ and ‘useless’ title for me cause they really suits me.  I jumped off from the god’s home 1^st time in Gujarat (Palanpur) on 5^th Nov 1990 without any reason of doing something.  Later after some years when i started to noticing things and also started walking, talking, my family kick me off to the school though i dint learn a heck also being there for years.  Unfortunately my dad took me Kerala and kicked me off there in "Kendriya Vidyala" School, being there for long time i learned many thing but soon cause of some family bugging we landed off to my respective place and started my school there again.  After so much of rolling we stayed there in our village itself and i continued my less than important education there.  Don’t know how time passed so fast there and i completed my 10^th somehow without any effect or mind miracle. 

                      I think everyone has a turning point in their life and the below given explanation is mine.  I was about to finish my 10^th and then something bad happen in my life was my grand paa death; this event bought a big change in my life.  My dad arrive to my native place and took us from there to  Chennai, here in Chennai i noticed people are more faster than me whether it is mind work or hard work.  So i decided to take admission here and continue my carrier and yes for this decision i can appreciate myself.  Appreciation work ends soon after deciding cause it was very difficult to get admission in Chennai for a lad who came from north India and don’t know any other language like Tamil or English except Hindi.  After many rejections from many schools we decided to go to K.V. AFS School and give a last try for the admission and by god grace, my dad met with his old friend who has been working there in office from many years.  Then he assured me that you will get admission don’t worry anymore about this, soon after he finished his lines i thanked him like god and kicked-off our bike to room. 

                     Fortunately i got admission in a better school where each passing year people write their own faith and that’s why a light of happiness spark in my heart and i said to myself “yes now I’ll change my world” being an illiterate these words were enough to motivate me but i dint realize that my game starts from here these all were just honeymoon phase.  And one more thing i noticed being there in school that no one will help you if you are new and don’t know about the surroundings.  But somehow i co-operated with my mentor and the students without the knowledge of English, though it was difficult for me to do.  Many time instead of telling a point or teaching me about the subject, some of my classmates known as my friend also teased me. Why? Just because i was nothing in Bloody British language. Sometimes i cried cause of getting difficulties in subjects they all were in English except one and that is Hindi.  Though i never gave a heck also to anyone and managed to study and complete my course somehow with less than enough marks.  As I did my schooling in “K.V. AFS” i learned worlds of things like how to negotiate with new face, how to behave in society, many more thing which is unexceptionable. This is just unforgettable to me put it as simple.

                   It won’t be bad if i say that i enjoyed my school life fully but it will be not good also because it gave me many things which will be always with me for my whole life.  I gave much more importance to time resource than anything because as you know perfection is nothing but doing things at right time and i’ve been much productive also in those days of my life. Not much appreciable but i think i did fair to my parents and with my life by taking a single decision of staying in Chennai.  Somehow after facing many difficulties in school life now i forget the word difficult itself, now i don’t take anything as difficult or impossible, to the point being optimistic.  It was full of dramedy life for me and I’m happy to say a big thanks to my god for his blessing and for this life.  I was not addicted to fashionista and because of that i was disliked by many but i never gave a fuck about that as my concentration was my carrier/my life.
