Life After You Start Working

“Bhai, kal tu college ja raha he?”
“Nhi!”
“Chal me bhi nhi jayunga fir”

Felt nostalgic, a little? I sure did.



And this brings me to the first thing you cannot do when you start working, which are such implusive emotional decisions. If you disagree, then remember the number of times you have taken an unplanned leave on a Monday?!

Due to such and many more small yet significant things, I miss the college days and I am sure a lot of you feel the same. After all, those were the days when you could take emotional decisions freely, bunk the classes without hesitation and had a group of friends called your gang who always stuck around through all your highs and lows.

However, now, after you have started working in a company, the table has turned. Performance ratings and appraisals have wiped off emotions and caged in ‘aaj kuch tufaani karte hai’ moments which were in plenty during the college days.

Now, the most tufaani moment is to get that trouser fit in, after compressing that next-to-pregnant-belly, a little, and to leave the office at 6 pm on Friday.

Also, you spend every single day thinking about making more money and using the same to find happiness, which was free back in the college days.

A lot of other changes have come as well, like back then, when you couldn’t afford a McD meal on your own, sadly now, when you can, you don’t have friends to share it with!
Also, in college, when a cup of chai with friends was enough to make our day. Now, even a team party at a lavish 5-star hotel doesn’t give that sort of satisfaction.

Honestly, no matter how many friends you make in your professional life, the place in your heart that your college buddies have can never be replaced (unless one of them went on to be your gf and then ex-gf) because, ‘Aur bhosdike, kaisa he?!’ is more pleasant to the ears than ‘Hey, how are you?!’ (unless coming from a total stranger)

At the end, am pretty sure you too had one hell of a ride this year. A lot of changes would have come, new promises made, few broken, people were left behind, certain life changing decisions would have been taken. 

In fact, a couple of your friends would have even gotten married. But all this while, even if you were not the best version of yourself. Maybe, you couldn’t commit to what you promised at the start of this year. Or perhaps, your office life is totally a lost case, believe this and just remember your college day. Maybe, it won’t fix the current situation you are in, but it would definitely break the stress and lighten the tension, which in most cases is enough to get going.

P.S: Call your college friends more often. Those people are definitely a great stress reliever. Believe this. Ciao!

The story of my placement

Saturday, December 13, 2014 By , , 10 comments


I’m not a big fan of boasting about my campus placement. But then, I’m not a saint either, right? So, putting it in simple words that this blog’s owner has finally bagged a company (2nd company by statistics) called XL Dyanimics Inc.

For wishes, praises and details, kindly leave a message in the comment box. I will answer each one of them. Kasam se! :D

For lazy people, option of putting a comment on Facebook, Google+ and Twitter is also available.

Time is running out. Hurry! :D

Sounds about right!

I’m putting this thanksgiving at the end, but trust me, the importance of all these people can’t be judged through it.
Starting with my parents whose indispensable support throughout my life can’t be expressed through words. But then it is always good to give a tribute, even though a small one.

Secondly, I’m thankful to all the teachers who have taught me till date, be it in school, college etc. After all, it is not an easy task to control a kid like me.

Third to this list are my friends (a dozen or more) who have inspired me to get my lazy ass working through their constant nagging, motivation and tips, all during the chai biscuit hangout.  *Smoking is injurious to health; remember*

Last on the thanksgiving, but had these people not been there the night before the interview for this company, then probably, I wouldn’t have been posting this thing.

Thank you Akrit sir, Paresh sir, Roopal ma’am and even a sir whose name is Varun too J

I remember that motivational speech at 12.30am in the night from you Roopal ma’am. 
And, trust me; it was as good as that dialogue from the movie Chak De India. ;)

Thank you sir ji (Paresh) for helping me get through that phase and finally plan a trip to the interview the next day. J *Chote placed ho gya*

Akrit sir, thank you for providing a lucid explanation regarding the job and for Varun sir’s number as well!

Huff! By now, you would either be swearing at me, smiling or yawning profusely. So, taking all those possibilities in mind, I end this post right here.

Thank you for visiting!


Kabhi baaki ke post bhi padh liya karo bhai :D

“We must find time to stop and thank the people who make a difference in our lives.”
― John F. Kennedy


I have finally completed (read: survived) 3 years of my college life and trust me, it wasn’t easy at all. And during this period of survival, I have got in touch with a lot of people, a lot. People who have been mates, colleagues, life savers and what not? Everybody had their own contribution in some or the other way. Few among those people are my seniors.

Too bad I couldn’t be there on the signature day, though I really wanted to be. I had a lot of things in my mind to scribble on your clothes which sadly couldn’t be possible. So, I’ve taken this time out to thank you for the part you have played in my life.

Here is a sweet short message for everyone who has made a difference in my life and with whom I feel connected in some or the other way:

Akshay Sharma sir: You have been truly delightful and a really cool guy.
P.S: Beard suits you. ;)

Abhijeet sir: You are a very passionate person who has plans for everything. You inspire a lot of people through your attitude and ever-disciplined nature. More than happy to be touch with you. Wish to stay in contact. J

Akrit Kashyap sir: It was great to be working with you in the college Editorial board. You always see the good in others and that is one of the best qualities you possess. I don’t you how you remain so calm all the time! Bdw, I wish you were present on the Farewell day.
P.S: Good that you are back on Facebook. :D

Aditi Chauhan ma’am: You are perky, frank and easy-going. Hope to stay in touch with you in the coming time as well. J

Aditya Verma sir: You are really sensible and considerate. Your wife will be really happy. Glad to have met you. J

Ankur Shrivastava sir: You are very talented and ebullient. Not to forget, notorious as well. Glad to have met you. J

Anusha Kashyap ma’am (aka Anushree Gupta): You are the 1st senior with whom I got in touch. Ever since that time you have been exceptionally amiable, considerate and a problem solver for me (and my batch). We will be in touch, I know, that goes without saying. J
P.S:  Apna name Facebook pe change karo please :P

Avni Yadav ma’am: You are an epitome of beauty and brain. Need I say more? ;)
Stay in touch!

Aarushi Upadhyay ma’am: You must be surprised to see your name on this list, isn’t it? Well, I never said that it was utterly for my current seniors, did I? And, that you did play a goody-goody ma’am part when you were here, so 1 vote of thank to banta hi he. J

Anurag Kashyap sir: Wish I could give you ‘The Problem Solver’ award. You always had some or the other solution to every problem that I used to bring to you. Also, I find you pragmatic. Mauka mila to milenge zaroor. J

Jaya ma’am: You are more like an elder sister to me than a ma’am. You are exceptionally sweet and full of potential to do anything. We share a lot of things together, like, the same locality, same college bus and I’m friends with your brother as well. We will be in touch J

Maryada Jain ma’am: Why are you so shy? Bhopalis are not shy! You have been always good to me. Stay in touch. J

Monica di: I know you since the school days. You have been an all-rounder all the time. You are very pretty and I’m sure, a lot of people must have complimented that. You have always helped me during tough times and I’m thankful to you for that. Hope to see you soon. J

Narendra Sir: Kya personality he sir aapki, seriously! We both are Thakur (yes, I’m as well), but personality wise I stand nowhere in front of you. Not just this, you are very supportive and a lovely person to interact with. Hope to stay in touch with you in the time to come. J

Namita ma’am: You are really amiable and one of my favorite seniors. Will stay in touch. J

Kshitij Sir: I simply go speechless when it comes to you. You are really frank and a masti-khoor at the same time. Hope to see you again. J

Roopal ma’am: Wish I could be as articulate as you. You are one among those people with whom I feel like ‘apna-pan’. Unlucky on my part that I couldn’t meet you before you left the city of lakes. But, my spidy senses tell me that we will meet very soon. J

Poorva Sharma ma’am: We 1st met during the farewell and ever since that time we have been in touch. I find you affable and intelligent. Delighted to have got in touch with you! J

Saransh Sir: Aapka koi ‘Saransh’ mila nhi mijhe. Isliye pura pura hi likh deta hun. You have been of a great help all the way through. Most of the Shivanis that I possess are yours. Thanks for your selfless contribution. Not just this, you are soft spoken as well. Kabhi khelte he cricket, aap, mein aur baaki ke 20 khiladi without Bagpiper soda :D

Paresh sir: You are my all-time favorite. Bas, thoda sa khafa hun, Bhopal aate ho aap and 1 bar bhi milte nhi ho. -_-
Yahi dosti, yahi pyaar? :PPP
P.S: Your treat is awaiting. :D

Pallavi di: You passed out last year and I couldn’t meet you. We have known each other since 5th grade and that binds us even more. I still remember that strange encounter near the college gate after which we reunited after aeons of years. Stay the way you are. Will be meeting very soon. J

Shahrukh Khan: Mashallah, kya height he aapki sir. Also, you are really sweet and down-to-earth. Bandiyan marti he aap pe. ;) Mazak nhi kar raha! :P
Stay in touch! J

Shreya Agrawal ma’am: We share the same school and that sure is a thing that bonds us together. Hope to see you soon. J

Snigdha ma’am: It was highly appropriate to give you ‘Ms. Graceful’ award. You truly deserve it. Moreover, you have been very helpful and of a great inspiration. Will stay in touch.
P.S: You are very shy. :P

With that being put, it doesn’t mean other people didn’t have any contribution at all. I’ve memories, though little, with almost everyone which I will savor for the rest of my life.

In the end, I would just say, there is nothing good about goodbyes if there is no certainty of meeting again. So, I would be delighted if we luckily get stumble somewhere or put up a get together in the time to come. Also, if you ever require my help, I will be more than happy to do that and vice-versa (I hope). Best wishes for the new ventures that life has in store for you. J

24 YEARS ON 22 YARDS- A Tribute to the legend, SIR SACHIN RAMESH TENDULKAR

Saturday, November 16, 2013 By 6 comments



The person I’m referring here, needs no formal introductions. You might not be aware who your neighbor is but you certainly know this legend, Sir Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar. And indeed, this article is a tribute to his 24 years of service to the nation.

Well, the words might just not be enough to show gratitude, shower respect and praise his achievements. Thus, have collected his blissful moments, never ending records  and some unforgettable memories which you can see below:

Memories :')

Magical Career

The Last Day

Here is a video of his FINAL speech which literally welled up my eyes. Actually, I did cry a little.  #NoShameToAccept


In the end, I will just conclude saying that Sachin was just not cricket to India. He had bigger importance than many other people in our country. And literally, I’m proud to say that I grew up in the era of Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar and was highly lucky to see him play. Perhaps, the upcoming generation will never know how much this man meant to the nation!

Plus, Sachin Tendulkar is the youngest and only sportsperson to win Bharat Ratna award. So you see, it is a brilliant start to his new innings. J
