The Dull life and the Time Machine

Hi All,

This is what.. sorry I forgot the date....ya 26th. I hope I got this right.. and I am at my home relaxing but the cost is being paid and that cost is a very sad and a dull life.
Well this so called "useful period" for which I left my job is fast turning or rather has already turned into a "resting period" courtesy my extreme lethargic nature...

Monotonous life is very much the theme here and what's worst is that I just don't do anything. I mean I just can't find an alternative to my sleep. Average 16-20 hours a day. Would you believe that?

The brain is very much empty and recently it has been working like a time machine.
The time machine kicks off on its own and then comes to a halt in the year 2004 and then further takes a forward gear.

"NIEC"
Yes the four letter word would always be a part of my life. I still remember that fateful day of the year 2004 when I attended the counselling session for getting admitted to the great university of IndraPrastha in Delhi. We all had heard that this was a university which was least preferred for all the aspiring enggs in the area and getting through this would be a cake walk. But for some reason and our "Ill luck factor" which accompanied us through out had some other plans. Suddenly everyone in Delhi wanted a piece of this university.
Thank fully or not or whatever I some how managed to get through in the 2nd counselling.
By the time of the 2nd counsl. this "least preferred" univ became the "most preferred" and I admit that I was happy regarding this engg. course in Delhi.

I remember the very first day of the college and ya the college itself. It is in the area of Delhi where the population density is humongous and literally a desert separates it from the highway. I know the population and desert doesn't make any sense but trust me that's how it was. Daily I had to bear this highly frustrating journey which always dampened mine spirits to be an engineer...

"College Crowd" was ok sort but was a rare commodity due to the fact that college was only in its 2nd year of existence. Though it was good from the infrastructure point of you but for the dislike was still very much under construction.


I was always a private person and never really cared making too many friends.I still I am. Forget about friends!! Faculty was thin in number but was enough for the number of students the college had. good teacher:student ratio for some one doing a survey on delhi colleges!!
Lot of time was spend outside college rather being inside. Clearing the semesters were easy pickings as personally I never studied but some how managed to make the cut at the very last juncture. It was a typical college life with mixed moments of happiness and some time even humiliation..

well don't take my views about the Niec seriously because this may vary from person to person. and don't take any any negativity from this blog as its mere a frustration deposition center of mine.

The time machine fast forwards itself back in the present times.
I really don't have much to share but still for the record I do all the basics all right. I get up in the morning and I sleep at nights. Thats it. Sometimes I take out my Alto for a drive and I feel m driving xcedingly well and super fast for some one who has learnt the skills a few months back and that's probably is the only cool part of life left.

I hope I achieve what I set out for early this year..though the hopes are fast diminishing... but I need your blessings for that....
I will keep you in the loop regarding any happenings or ms-happenings and I hope you liked the time machine stint. I also hope you missed the hahas of the blog but trust me the life itself is turning out to be a haha these days.

Thank you!
Piyush

I Quit

Hi All,

This is January the 8th and I had to come up with this brief!
I Quit!!

Now dont worry I am not gonna leave this world..haha I know the contextual usage of "I Quit" has changed after the advent of "3 Idiots". But last week has tested my character a lot and I had to make a real hard decision of quitting from my job.

I would like to term it as an "career move" which is quite critical and I would not be able to disclose the exact reason behind this step but again this is something very important. I would have to bear the financial consequences along with the prospect of losing out on a "safe job". But this is life isn't it?

I have heard that in life one has to make some real hard decisions and this is my real life face off.

Now I can proudly call myself as an "Voluntarily Unemployed" person...HAHA

Today is my last day at this office.
I would like to thank the seniors at my company for allowing me to move out so very swiftly and easily....Also a Thanx to all my colleagues and friends here for all their support..

Thank you!

Holiday Season cum Private Bash (Dec 23rd-Jan 3rd)

Hi all,

This is January the 4th and I am back again in my office! I sure could be killed one day due to this new found passion of writing blogs in the office.

Well getting to the matter at hand...I wish the Holiday season should have stayed forever....but this is life..and it has to go on. Now I would like to draw your attention to the last 10 days of my life which have been pretty much happening by God's Grace.

December the 23rd we had this huge annual party in our office. And we had this food and a lot of music and dance to go with. Alcohol was flowing. I tried to enjoy as I do not particularly drink and rather refrain from drinking. You can call me a teetotaler if you like but I do drink occasionally. Now all my efforts to enjoy went in vain...Why??
No good girls in FCS! Remember!;)
I would not add much to this but there were a few interesting things that happened later that night.There are couple of other offices in the same "FCS House" building and this party incidently was a joint venture. So as it turns out there were actually some girls at the fcs campus..
Description: They were all average looking females and they were not many. 3 to be precise!
for the first 2 hours all the girls must have had the "day of their lives" as all eyes were fixated on them and they must have realized that they were all being fantasized simultaneously by a lot of "female companionship starved" males of the great FCS.
Well sooner the girls disappeared as there was always a danger of "fantasy turning in to reality"..haha

To my surprise the party went wild after the girls left as alcohol was always there and all FCS guys got drunk. Its amazing what alcohol can do to you. For a moment I had a feeling that I was present in a gay party or a "gay parade" . So I actually decided to hid some where and escape as soon as I get an opportunity.

Then arrived the big day!!

24th easily was the best day of year 2009. I was happy that I could finally relax. It had been a hectic year and I desperately needed some time off . So I went to meet my friend Kunal and some other friend Mr.A in CP. (Name hidden on due request of our great Mr.A) The guy likes "Dhoom 2" so this name too was requested by the great guy himself.

We were having that usual chit chat and usual eye candy sightings. And suddenly...

Well a visit to CP always turns out to be a kind of mix. And it was all the same that day. You get to see a lot of single girls but at the same time you have to bear the sights of some morons enjoying with some real babes and suddenly you wonder that you too are the biggest moron and why the heck you don't have a girl walking beside you. Anyways we had to ignore all that and we moved on along the great inner circle of CP. Now life at CP was going on smooth until my friend Kunal decided to open his mouth and put forward a dangerous proposal. We guys love visiting some kind of obscure and haunted places and we had been eying this place called Bhangarh in Rajasthan for an year.

FYI We have had some history researching about these kind of spooky places in and around Delhi and our curiosity once led us to a place in the CP area which we felt was damn strange and scary as hell. It was incredible as we realized that there were a million people in that same area and no body had this clue man! So after conquering Delhi we thought about expanding our empire. And after doing some google we were sure that there is something strange in Bhangarh. Now this plan was in pipeline from March 2009 and never actually materialized due to transport and holiday issue.

Well getting back to that great proposal and so we decided to leave on 25th.

Now Kunal has two cars a great "Hyundai Santro" and a "Vintage Maruti 800" which actually dates back to the early 90s. We(me and Mr.A) assumed that anticipating the hardships of the planned journey Kunal would apply some common sense and would bring out his best car. But how stupid we were as he turns up with his great vintage car as if we were going for a vintage car rally in CP area. Initially we decided to give it a shot and then suddenly backtracked when we reached the NH-8. There was this NFS race which was going on and Kunal's mini DTC Bus simply could not match up. So after the best day I had to see the worst on the 25th.

26th , 27th were spent verbally abusing Kunal and watching TV.

27th-31st

I could have had gone any where but one has to consider family in every matter concerned. That's life for you again! So I went on a pilgrimage with my family.
It was great...

Back to Delhi January the 1st (Happy New Year)

I went for this movie called the "3 idiots" with my friends.. Well the same me , Kunal and Mr.A. It was just the right occasion with 3 idiots themselves present for the movie called "3 idiots"..movie was f**king hilarious.. simply amazing...but I tell you that it is actually the concept itself which makes this movie so great...I noticed some where in the news paper about the filmmaker questioning the reporter "Have you read the Book?"

I actually thought that the reporter should have responded that "You must have read it and that's why the movie came out so good" well these guys sure deserve a piece of hell... and Mr.Bhagat sure deserves much greater credit and everyone of us would agree with that. He is an icon for all of us.....

Well Jan the 2nd passed and the same movie was watched again and this time with the family.
Balancing is the principle of life in my book that is...

3rd passed in the horror of 4th arriving so soon...reality of life bites again and here I am in the office again.

Happy 2010 guys!
stay tuned for more...

2009 - My story

2009!

Professionally I did OK this year! As I was into a decent job and was doing fine when the industry was down with Recession. But Personally things were never good! There was a certain amount of vacuum which had crept in since the time we were done with our college.

All of the friends went missing! All of those eye candies got lost some where :( No friend to talk with forget the girl friend! I had to find some one at my office called "FCS". People here were a bit strange to start off and what made the matter worse was that there were virtually zero females and there aren't any good as of yet. No girls man! What are we talking about. This was very unlike my last office! Where I had minor flings last year..I saw here a lot of girls coming in for the interviews and I was real surprised none of them made it to any of the vacant seats around me. Hell! I had to gel with great seniors of FCS. What binded us together was the fact that market was real bad. None of the guys were performing. We kept on motivating each other to pass time! haha

The first 3 months passed some how as I described above. How ever now there were some serious challenges ahead for me both professionally and personally. I had been into this job for around 6 months (since 2008) and I had to get some results to save my butt. I was trying!! Some friends were made at FCS but they were all guys and I needed a gf to carry on this great life. Testosterone was taking its effect. Haha..

I got into this stupid online chatting thing and Was trying to get one of the 3 girls to get romantically linked with me. "( all 3 were always welcomed ;)).On the other hand I had a break through at FCS where I secured my job by sealing a deal in US.(Its a BPO industry Lolz) But the gf was still not there!

6 months passed and I was doing ok sort! Though as always I was trying to contemplate about future which I feel now is the most reckless thing one can do. Just enjoy the moment! Family was doing good and that gave me a lot of comfort.

There was a break through in chatting business as well. 6 months of night chatting some how clicked! Now I realize How I got into danger of losing my job during this time. Girl chatting along with business never go hand in hand. I met a girl named Pooja in July at Netaji subhash place . Why we met here because the place was very convenient for the girl and who was staying in Rohini and guess it was a metro station and one more reason was she said she particularly liked the BTW tikki shop opposite the metro station. I had a bad feeling at the moment I heard she liked tikki. The girl must have been on plumpy side. But I was wrong when I took that great metro ride from Shahdara metro to NSP metro. The girl was on a dusky side which I like very much and was thin. She was a real wise a$$ as clearly she did not like my looks and started to irritate me.. Started off by saying that you look ok but you need to go to gym.. Gym is a must for guys today! I said ok thats fine. We were having tikkis when she said that you don't look like a punjabi guy at all and rather you look like a bangali fella and I responded back that you too look like some one who is from Hampi and not Lahore. As she called herself a proud Lahori punjabi girl. She asked where is Hampi and I told her to find out.(Guys Hampi is in Karnataka and trust me local girls there belong to the "sad looking" race..HAHA) She asked about if I had a bike or a car and I said no as I was very good at traveling in Buses. She laughed out and said you never told me that online! I told her you were never like this online and that's it the disaster culminated!!
I went for the fried chicken at KFC below NSP metro station to overcome the pain. And I got out of this debacle quite easily as it is normal with me and was not the first time I screwed up with a Girl. I was never good at dating and this was my 4th attempt in 6 years.

I found one of my old college friend named Kunal and I had some one to discuss my personal tragedies. I also had one guy named Deepanshu at the office and trust me he is super looking dude and very good with girls. He offered me some assistance with girl friend department and I said its ok! I started passing time with Deepanshu during office hours and kunal during the non office hours. Glimpses of beautiful girls at kamala nagar market DU was a great remedy for the ongoing disease if I may call it.


Office was going great! But I was once again confused about my professional life and it was future again. Got into that reckless stuff once more!!:(
This time It was IAS or MBA as if I was an IIT pass out and If I could raise hell..

Again a waste of time and I carried on with this confusing life. I had a minor accident in September due to my great commuting mode in shape of great Delhi bus..

The family decided to buy a Car to end our prolonged traveling woes. It was a great respite for me and for me the Alto we got is nothing less than Aston Martin..the James Bond car.
The car endured a lot of pain initially with highly skilled driver in the drivers seat. Any ways it was a great respite and for me that enhanced my profile as an prospective Boy friend...HAha

9 months had passed and there was a jolt. My friend Deepanshu left the office for a possible MBA pursue in the US and GMAT prep. I was kind of alone again in this heavily crowded FCS. In fact a lot of people here mind their own business and those who do not are mind less. I just could not find another good friend at my office.

October! I had some trouble again at my office and this time it was with my senior manager. But this too passed. Online chatting was a thing of past and I tried to develop some kind of relationship with what ever options I had available on the ground. No success as yet but I am doing ok!


November was all right again. A lot of sole visits to CP for some shopping and family outings. Actually November marks the American holiday season with Thanks giving.

I got into December and that's only a continuation of the holiday season and I might take off some where when we reach December 24. No real vacations this year apart from one off Agra trip in torrid month of May.

2009 has been a mixed bag for me and I feel satisfied. I hope the next year bring success and happiness to all!!

Take care!
