Fight against Future

I know that the luxury of squandering money would no more be there from next month.I know that I have set a very tough goal for myself to achieve in the next few months.I would solely lead my career path through hardships leaving behind a cozy job as the Software Engineer after working for two long years in IBM.As the cliché goes, Life is full of risk and there is trepidation at some nook of my mind. But what I am about to decide has paramount proportions in my career and future. Quitting a comfortable and secure job is something that has caused unrest in my mind recently but I have full confidence that things will surely take a positive turnaround in the near future.I have confidence in myself and hope and pray to come out successfully in this MBA venture. I've always fancied studying management and only self and God know how I craved for getting an admission into some decent B School. I know I am going to take the risk of my life but I also understand that I am doing it driven by the deep hatred that I've developed towards this so called S/W engineers job of coding, bragging and fighting against time with mind in solving issues all the time, which I prefer to call as software coolie job and more for the passion to pursue management.That dependable friend of the desperate people,God,has helped me out of predicaments before and I am once again at the mercy of that merciful. Hope time would add glory to me. I only have one option to become a student once again, Study and Study hard once again.

Friendship day Messages

Though being a friend to someone is special, I felt expressing it people that they mean a lot to us on a special day by naming it as Friendship day is not acceptable, but some argue at least its an excuse after all, to remember your dearest friends on this special day and convey wishes. Different people Different opinion, I am not here to hold a debate on that but to post all the messages on my mobile which I received from my friends on this Friendship day. I really felt happy to have one more reason to be happy in this world with all these friends around. There is this refreshing lack of political correctness with friends that you just don’t see elsewhere.You can bay at the moon and they won’t label you insane. You can sing terribly off-key and they’ll sing along note for note. You can rave and rant and shout and break up with them over the smallest reason, and somehow, making up with them becomes the easiest thing to do in the world.They are the ones you can call at unearthly hours when you need a sounding board, even if they scream at you for waking them up (as I did, sorry friends :)), they will still come to your side. They are the ones who will mooch from you at every opportunity and you honestly don’t mind it. Thats the worlds most beautiful relationship that every minuscule craves for. My mobile was
flooded with all those SMSs all through the day here are some of them from my friends.

A friend is sweet when it is new. And it is sweeter when it is true. But you know what? It is sweetest when it is u.Happy friendship day.

True friends are like Diamonds... they are real & rare. False friends r like leaves... they r scattered everywhere. But I found Kohinoor diamond..You are a special friend, happy friendship day ra chichiga.

A good friend is like a computer; me 'enter' ur life, 'save' u in my heart, 'format' ur problems, 'shift' u 2 opportunities & never 'delete' u from my memory!

Never abandon old friends. They r hard 2 replace. Friendships is like wine: it gets BETTER as it grows OLDER. Just like us... i get BETTER, u get OLDER.

I would like to wish you a happy friendship day, thanks for coming in to my life and be my friend. You mean a lot to me !

A B C D E F G H I . . . . . . . . . . . U V W X Y Z.. Dekha I aur U ke beech mein jo bhee aaya sabko tapka diya...

Whenever I look at my palm, I wonder which of those tiny cute crisscross lines made me so lucky to have a sweet & nice friend like U.

The one who likes you most, sometimes hurts you, but again she is the only one who feels your pain.

When does a friend become a best friend?
When his dialouge, "I care for you" converts into "I will kill you if you don't care for me"

6 rules to be HAPPY: Free ur heart from hatred; Free ur mind from worries; Live simply; Expect less; Give more & Always have ME as UR FRIEND

Dont write your name on sand, waves will wash it. Don't write your name on sky, wind may blow it. Write your name on hearts of your friends, thats where it will stay.happy friendship day.

1 Advice- Don’t change, 1 request- take care, 1 wish- Don't forget me, 1 Lie- I hate U, 1 truth- I Miss U, 1 hope- We'll always be Gud Friends.

Friends r like stars. u can't always see them, But u know they are always there 4 you...

God apun se pucha,
Kidhar jana mangta ?
SWARG YA NARAK ?
Apun bola NARAK !
Apun ko malum,
Tum sala dost log udharich milega,
Bole to Jidhar tum, Woich apun ka SWARAG!!

Friendship is vast like Universe, deep like Ocean, high like Sky, strong like Iron, kind like Mother, cute like Me, and sweet like U!Happy Friendship day.

A friend is a push when you have stopped, a chat when u r lonely, a guide when u r searching, a smile when u r sad, a song when u r glad.

And never, never, to forget. "

I look back and I wish.....

Just pondering over my life right now, It was inevitable to think about my teens (read 4 years of college) and early teens (meaning school). I also read an article in the news magazine section about “wise” childhood. I just had a pit stop on the early life and wondered how it would like to be in the teens again- just this time with the benefit of hindsight. Here's my list of things, in no particular order (random), I would keep in mind if in the teens again

Things I wish had known more clearly during my early teens

* The wannabe groups in school were actually not very cool people to hang out with. They would always stupid issues of the third kind.
* No matter how much you diet and how hard you exercise, you will never be that thin again.
* Nothing outside of who I am in God can make me cool.
* 2nd most important decision I would make is, who my friends were.
* People who invest in mutual funds are not losers.
* Eat all the desserts to satisfy your “sweet tooth”. Very soon even a spoonful of chocolate delight would travel straight to add to the paunch.
* If you keep looking at the phone, it would never ring.
* There is a reason why you lose touch with so many school friends. You simply have nothing in common except for the fact that you were once in a class together. Don't feel guilty.
* Don't bother fighting it, eventually you'll turn into your father. By the time a man realizes that his father was right, he'll have a son who thinks that he's wrong.
* A man who doesn't read good books has NO advantage over a man who doesn't read at all
* You can only really make friends when you are young. After that, you’re stuck with chance acquaintances and work contacts whom you also socialize with.
* Nothing is as important as you think.
* Friends are way more important than lovers – and nearly always outlast them.
* If you want something, don’t be afraid to ask.
* Never throw a party if you will be the most interesting man in the party.
* You can’t change the world – but don’t let it change you either.
* Exercise is something you do to keep fit not to get thin.
* Ultimately, love remains out of necessity.
* Never mistake Knowledge for wisdom, one helps make a living, other helps you ,make a life.


Things I'm glad I knew

* Outdoors sports were as much fun (or more) than the en vogue Video and PC games
* Quizzing is great fun and not a nerdy game
* Succumbing to Peer Pressure is not Manly no matter what real men don't cry.
* Not to be jazzy in my looks,be myself. you'll have to do that as a monthly chore if not,don't be artificial.
* That I was not a loser reading all the literature that I did during early years.
* Its very hard to be alone for a mear minute, if you knew you are going to be alone and missing someone really close.
* Life is never going to be the same, happy moments are for sure, but the only thing is the Time you have to wait.


But Overall, I think what we did in the early teens was out of innocence. It was awesome because thats how we learn and most of our lives we learn the hard way.
I think our teens was the best of both the worlds – conventional, radical and adoption to advancements (socially and technologically). So we played the Nintendo games listened to the music & read the teen novels yet - loved life, listened to Indian soul music, read classic literature, enjoyed the lap of nature and played outdoors conventionally. As it is I love my life and have NO REGRETS.

So I look back in glory and just thank everyone for it....
