वो चालीस साल... भाग एक Part-1 Attempted Short story

"चालीस के हो गए हो अभी तक तुम्हारी वही आदते हैं, कब सुधरोगे ?" वीणा ने झल्ला के कहा| सुनील कुछ कह ना सक बस  मुस्कुराता रहा | वो आज भी उसी सिद्दत से वीणा को चाहता था जैसा कि बीस वर्ष पहले|

kya kare "Dil to bachha hai ji"

Bloggers Boom Part 1

This post i rate high on randomness coz i have no idea what i am going to write... though going by what every one of my friend is writing about on their blogs (with exceptions of very few) shows how stressed up people are. definitely this is trying times for all .... errrrr think m also going that way. STOP. i don't want to write what everyone else is writing.
Also i see a trend amongst my fellow bloggers and i have an idea as to why all of a sudden every tom dick and harry have plunged to become a blogger.I would like to share my thought with you. Since i say these are trying times and my fellows want to make a difference or they want to tap niche market as i think my marketing friends would say. But the problem here is that every one think he is writing uniquely and thus every one ends up writing same stuff in different structure of sentence.when i say this i definitely want to make exception for few bloggers who are writing differently.So, each of the bloggers want to attract attention , but  question is, whose attention they want to grab? Very specifically they have a target audience in their mind and they are not the Mango ppl but the recruiters coming for them. Fair enough For this reason i have seen a number of blogs coming up lately, serving specific area of specialization viz marketing hr and so on.Some people have gone to the extent of choosing a niche topic of the core subjects and dedicating a blog on this.
 ( I ) Like this.Any way this might be helpful to the readers get a perspective of the subject which they haven't gone thru. Amidst all this, few people have gone to the extent of writing multiple blogs each dedicated to their different areas of interest. writing about poem, bible and all others... Quiet interesting ! I had been listening to stories from bible from few of my friends and my curiosity of knowing more on this topic (but lazy enff to browse thru bible which i borrowed from my friend) led me to be a regular follower of the blog. see these blogs for details god and bible , Rural India and equally interesting is the blog coming straight from heart which says Speak your heart .
And again there are people who have discovered their paparazzi talent lately and have come up with blogs with all 'chatpati'  news from the college and around. That's interesting ( by this i recall one blog becoming very popular during the last ipl season . it was by some anonymous member who was omnipresent and had all insider information. well i c the last post is on June 15th'09 but he has given crazy ideas to people in our batch. for details see these blogs fake ipl player and our very one pandora's box.)  Though this blog has led to serious accusations from girls that " we know u boys are more gossip monger than the girls" , counter the general viewpoint. However i found it interesting to mention another blog when i when thru one of the post in this blog Anonymous blogger which is more interesting , simply because it's about  three girls and their life in a GIRLS hostel... ha ha ha quite interesting na... ! i found it too. but again this blog has varied range from poems to a girl's quiet life - that's another interesting part. do enjoy this blog. And definitely that one post which i mentioned in beginning refutes the claim by girls that boys are more gossip monger than the girls.
Then there are people whom i thought were kind master in finance but i never thought they could be equally good in matters of marketing. may be they have another opportunity to become critic no  not film critic but ad critic.Every one of us who know him admired his post regarding the posts he wrote in last few days. nevertheless read his posts on finance, which helped many of us to understand some concept better. (for details read chris's call).
 well i  want to write more on this ... (i am finding it interesting write about what other are posting .. he he he)  but got to go... Certainly i have few more very interesting Blogs to write about... i'll do that in next post

PS: coming up  posts :  
1. 'Bloggers boom part 2'    (lots of interesting blogs in line up, where the posts have made up to Number 1/2 in goggle search... )
2. "what happened last night" (another interesting night,where conversations were loaded with arguments and arguments were loaded with life ; and there was One man against all ....)


Other blogs to be mentioned:

good bye 2008

  The year 2008 passed by... even i think of any date in particular it seems so far ... yet so near. some beautiful days beyond imagination... some sorrows deep as abyss... by and large a year of mixed feelings.  I dont remember but i read it somewhere where the book starts with the sentence " life is difficult", and once u accept this fact it becomes so easy... easy that what u went through is just a small phase in a difficult world-the real world. The world we live in, is just not the world we use to hear in fairy tales from dadi;  it's a real tough world. You need to stay strong, otherwise people might crush u and move on as if nothing has happened. And no surprises, the world is full of these kinds of people. Hardly i had seen this face of life... but what ever I've been through it wasn't good.

  It isn't a story of a single man but every one on this real world. They have to compromise with so many things so many times, only to 'live'... ' life goes on". And u don't even know, when u overcome these feelings of joy and sorrow. 

 This year had been eventful to me.  I achieved sth which i desired( atleast the second best)... lost something which i loved (i am not sure now).  But the year has left me with some beautiful and haunting memories.  And if people count their years with the number of friends they have...then  this year was a successful year to me... i came in contact with so many people and some of them have become- my friends for ever.  I came to see different facets of people, the oppurtunistic relations, the true friendships,  and how it all changes with time.  even met some friends who backed me at my worst times ... so on. 

 Saw some crisis which only fortunate(rather unfortunate) people live to see and tell the tale. Fortunately in this period i am engaged in studies and not drawn in this weird market. This year shall remain in my memory for the giant fall of sensex from 22ooo to some weird figure of 8000, for the crash of some biggies of finacial world lay man brothers ,  the magic of 8 ( it being 10th warmest year). year saw the first non white to rise to the whitehouse and some of the weirdest attack on indian soil. 

 Despite all this people continue to hope for a better tomorrow. Hope is all what people got now. It feeds them to do things, which perhaps makes extra ordinary people differentite from the  ordinary ones. 

 so dream and try to realise dream ... that's what i gonna do... let's hope, all others fall in line to realise dream of each one of us...

 have a wonderful (sarcastically) year ahead !

Lakshay - I

Let me start this post with a request. Don't ask me why I titled this page as Lakshay and tha too part I , as to I would write another part ending it at trilogy as is the norms in Hollywood. I dont have answer to this query. May be you can figure it out youself ...

Its almost three months here at liba. 1st trimester is about to over in a few days. But i don't know what made me to do a course in MBA. People reading this would hardly be surprised about this notion of mine. 'What this guy is to do in future?' That's a question, answer to which is still hazy to me. A distant dream to start my own company someday, may be. But when someone asks me.... 'So u plan to start a company, which kind of comapny you have in mind?'-- I stand clueless... This, infact reminds me of the first half of the movie 'Lakshay' when the actor has no purpose ... he meanders, he enjoys, has no tension, thinks that he's right and all others wrong. And for the sake of doing something he wants to do MBA in some foreign Insti or to join Army . He is unclear, or to quote the actress ' the word is lakshay- you dont have lakshay in life'. When I see this movie ( which I've done countless number of times) I feel attahed to this guy. May be I felt the same sometime.

When my frnds enquire me as to where am I. They present a uncanny face on hearing the name LIBA. Being a seemingly intelligent (pun intended) student they expected, I may join some IIM, hardluck !!! (thats what many of us who couldn't make it to IIMs feel). No matter I am happy with what i got. I have heard it several times, you ought to be happy with what you get untill and unless you get what you wanted. So i felt fist option is okie with me. But this doesn't make me loser.... does it... some would say Yes and some No.

The actor did find his Lakshay, but m still in search of it....

Dreamz Unlimited !!!!!

I do believe that dreamz are imperative to what people do in their life...It's these dreams which are constant source of energy that keep me goin too. Otherwise people would never be able to free themselves from the imdispensable three of all ...food raemint and habitation (रोटी कपडा और मकान ). May be it was dreams only which drove me crazy to do what no body suggested me to do...
contd...

Time goes on...

After a long interval, i have been active on this blog again...this is my first post since october last year...

Time passes in such a hurry...two years passed... I spent teo years ofmy life in wilderness and now it seems not a distant past when i joined the organization....
Even the things which passed between May 05 and Sep 05 are fresh on my mind. All friends at college were left behind and u have to struggle for life amidst the miseries of world.In this regard i've been lucky...i have always got friends when i needed them the most...i owe this to my ability to connect to people... in these two years we the svcl group did a lot of masti dhoom ...
And finall time came everybody started moving...change is universal...In the end it was me and and my friend chitta...and i then moved on.....
