Time's almost up ..........

Hey guys........ Well to be honest , i really couldn't think of what to write ..... the feeling of emptiness has been around me for a past couple of days..... the feeling that ill be leaving family , friends and most of all mumbai for good......... and join infosys to start with a new life.....

I really cannot believe i've made this far in my life..... Well as a child i was very mischievous and people around me really didnt believe i would come this far, study this much..... But guess what i've made it..... I really cannot forget the expressions on my parents face when my 8th sem results came out .... I've yearned all my life to give them this moment of joy.....

Well ive had a pretty forgetful school days, no offence but cannot write nething else about it ....... Its these last 4 years that i will never ever forget.... Even though the college wasnt a great one and have always cursed it whenever I got a chance (no offence again) ..... But it those friends of mine that has made it the most fun filled years of my life........ Now the time's up .....

My gujarati gang..... always upto something...... everyone from mama(jugal) , chacha(bhavesh), story(sanghvi), kanya (dhawal mehta), dudh(keval), marwari (akash), bantu and chantu (bhavin and harsh) and for that matter even sketch pen (dipen), ...... All of em.... Though i doubt any one of u will read this blog or not.... but we surely had fun ...... all those night outs at story's place....... and those trips n all.... was a lot of fun..... we will miss it.......

Atri n siddesh too for the notes and writeups they have provided without them i guess i wouldnt have successfully got my termwork marks and would get this percentage...... Thank you guys [:)].......

Oh yea n senior citizen (chinmay) yep will miss u too...... Will miss the explainations i use to give u about various stuff...... and yea surely will miss that frog n rat fight.... u knw wat i mean ;) .....

This one is dedicated for the girls ....... The endless hours chatting on msn with gig(shweta), sccug(aditi) , rambo(trupti) , blobby (medha) and arch (archana) was totally fun way to tp ......we all could count on each other for tp if we were ever bored..... The last month was totally fun u guys ... will miss u guys a lot......

And two of my bestest friends arun n naresh.... they are the only ones i am in contact with since my school days.... cya guys.....

Yesterday i went to meet my cousins and had soo much fun...... but at the end of the day, when it was time to say goodbye.. that empty feeling came back to me again.... i will not be seeing them for some time.... Will surely miss those guys too

U knw guys for the first time ill feel a lot more responsible , since ill be alone n all..... Everyone's off pursuing their dreams n destiny..... and soo am i...... I hope everyone's dream comes true........

I am having a lot of flashbacks but if i continue to write them ..... ill miss the plane on 27th ...
just 2 weeks now to go ........
cyaaaa.....byeee....

The frog that lived ..........

Its been ages since i've written my last blog........ (Tuesday, July 10th to be precise :D ) ........ But today the thing that i witnessed was definitely a blogable topic for me :) .......
I dunno about u guys but ive not seen anything like this in my real life ..... In TV..... yes (Animal Planet :P ) .....

Ok ill come straight to the point.... I saw a rat like creature mercilessly attacking a frog .......

The whole story goes like this ....... I was with my friend chinmay discussing marks that people got in their last sem of engineering happily laughing away on jokes too..... :D
Suddenly out of no where i heard a loud squeal..... and chinmay who has a sharper eye than me spotted an animal attacking a frog..... He went like "holy shit look at that" (Well he said a more nastier word , but i m replacing holy shit with it.... a family blog u c ;) ).....

Probably it was a good night's meal for the creature..... But from what it looked like it was a planned attack (He could probably show a trick or two to our military forces on how to attack ) .... He went for the frog's legs first dragging him away from the gutter which meant freedom for the frog...... Boy that frog was squealing like anything...... after when the first leg was brutally injured he went for his second leg ..... (Man!! some plan he had huh) .... It was a 5 min struggle for life and death for the frog...... Just when the frog went still and wasnt moving ... We both thought it was all over for him (RIP .... God bless him) .......

And we went ahead for our rounds...... The major part is yet to come......
I dunno what happened but when we finished our round we searched for the frogs remains.... But we found out the frog itself who was alive....... Now how did it happened .... why did it happened .. were the first of many questions we asked ourselves ..... The rat was nowhere to be seen..... The rat came for its second round but did not found out the frog..... He was safe ..... ( i went like waaaaahoooooo :D )

I told chinmay this is nature.... It holds sooo many unanswered questions... Perhaps the frog was destined to stay alive (tho limping but alive)..... But most of all nature didnt want us to know how it happened.... We were literally cursing ourself about why we left the place......
Looks like itll be Long live frog (untill some wretched creature picks on him again)..... I'll say "The frog that lived"......... Cool huh ;) .....

Because it is said that - " Na Koi Marta Hai...Na Koi Maarta Hain..Yeh Main Nahin Kehta...Gita Mein Likha Hai..Main Toh Sirf Ek Nimiit Hoon! "

Meaning - " Nobody dies ...... Nobody kills..... this isnt me saying... its written in Gita.... i m only the instrument of what is happening" ....

Thats what happened today... we both thought the frog was destined to die and the rat like creature was just the instrument for full filling its (frog's) destiny...... But i guess nature had something else stored in mind........

PS : i wuldve taken the picture with my cell... but it was night time and even the night mode didnt work becoz of lack of light...... Mumbai street light sucks...

Twitter: A Whole World in Your Hands

twitter logoThere is a new site that i came across (here) that sets new standards for social networking... Its called twitter .


What i
s it?
Twitter is a community of friends and strangers from around the world sending updates about moments in their lives. Friends near or far can use Twitter to remain somewhat close while far away. Curious people can make friends. Bloggers can use it as a mini-blogging tool. Developers can use the API to make Twitter tools of their own. Possibilities are endless!

Its a social networking service or a micro-blogging service that allows users to post their thoughts in a few words ... It can also be used to post their current status as in "what are you doing now??"........

Plus its pretty accessible ... that is from web, phone or messenger... Now thats pretty cool :)....
You can make new friends ... Well some of my friends will love this site .. ;)

Things twitter can be used for??

  1. Bloggers or webmaster can use it as a social book marking tool to increase their traffic..
  2. More artistic type of bloggers can use it post some random thoughts..
  3. Nice site to make some friends...
  4. Developers can use twitter API to develop tools for their site or a blog.
  5. Its an alternative for scrapbook on orkut ... :D
  6. Tell the world "what are you doing now??"
Like i said possibilities are endless .... :) ....

PS: See the new twitter widget on my blog .... Can't see it.... Make use of urself and scroll down ... Dont be lazy now :P .. :D

Screenshots i took...

  1. Many of my friends know me as a good friend and a great helper... Yea thats true i can help unconditionally .... even give help to my enemies (though there are only few)....
  2. I could be really shy when i first me anyone (especially to gals) .... though many of my good friends are gals...... Dont talk much at first actually ..... I only talk when i have something meaningful to say..... becoz if i get excited i start talking bull shit with no sense..... so people think i m weird.... :D..... though everyone's weird in some way or the other......
  3. The thing people dont knw abt me is that i can hide my emotions pretty well...... U wont even get a clue that whether i am sad, hurt, angry but ya the most difficult emotion for me to hide is excitement...... well my brain jumps like incredible hulk when i am excited.......
  4. My mind runs the best when i am walking (with exceptions of exams :D ) ..... When i have a nice thought or imagination or something to do with programming .... I walk around the house... Believe me I sometimes dont even leave the bathroom alone...... :D .... Also people say my mind runs fast , but unfortunately my mouth fails to process the info with the same speed..... Hehe No flow control u c :D...
  5. This one could be really freaky...... I wanna have a out of body experience once , obv come outta it though.... No one wants to be in a coma forever :P
  6. I love the colour blue and its shades...... I love cricket and everything to do with it... I love cartoons too :D especially dragonball z......

I actually copy those kicks and punches at home and broke a few things too with it faced my parents wrath :D.......
  7. My greatest desire is too buy microsoft .... I hate bugs u c... :D.......
  8. The last thing.... I am a perfectionist.... Whatever i do ..... whichever project i take it has to be perfect..... The only perfection i havent been able to achieve is keeping my room clean :P.... :D......
