about a year ago..

well.. i was here last year...the same place...the same time..thing werent the same then..i mean thats obvious.. people change..things change..hell..even america changed... last time i was here...march 30 was like summer time..and today its freezing here...ajeeb si jagah hai boss...anyways, what made me right this post was..the fact that so it was just now that i had come with mompop last year for holi here to the US..and a year after that im here doing my mba.. i sound little confused..but thats ok..that is how i am.. but the fact is...time has passed..and it has been fast.. i was here..this january..starting my mba..and now.. a coupla months.. im settled..well not yet..but kinda.. i have an apartment..a job..which i need more money from...and a nice experience...ive always felt..and said..america is a great place..if u have nice people around..matter of fact..any place is great with the right set of people...but when you are outside "your area" the need of having the correct set of people becomes more vital...i have yet to reach that stage...i as of now.. have zero.. yes.. i mean zero friends in the US..and when i say friends... i mean the new ones... i obviously have akki.. i mean hez one of the best...then there is nalin..and coupla more..what i mean to say here..is america.. has not yet given me a friend..and i dont blame america.. i mean.. i dont blame it yet..hehehe.. i havent had the time to "network" or do anything else.. except attend college..surf the net..and watch movies..and believe you me...that does take up all the time i have..so what i have decided..is to plan my upcoming months properly.. i mean..college...meeting people..going around with friends..working..woohoo..thats something that i am concerned about..my current job..its good.. but its not good money.. i dont even get my rent out of it...so the fight is still on..back in india..when i was planning my studies here... i had a very very very different picture in mind..and what i have found here..is completely new..something that i thought i had already passed in life...anyways.. i am still standing and still here...after a year..looking for a deer..who could drink a beer..and then go here and there..saying..its over a year..get over it dear!!...ah.. i like it when things rhyme... hehehehe..timepas.. but i must say.. i have been blogging a lot offlate..i like it..of the many things that i started last year....oh yes...my land lord was surprised when i told him i am in america since january..he said the way i talk ..i give the impression that ive been here since long..now i dont know if thats a comment or a compliments..ab british accent hai..hehehe..jolly good...jai shri ram

be a man

well... i was working and working since morning on my mba things..so decided to take a break..and what else can i do..except the great timepas..kutkut..infact off late..even kutkut has become boring..you know... with the same set people loggin on..and the heat in my apartment...for some strange reason is so damn effective.. its like im on sun or something like that...anyways..this time on orkut.. i was looking for a community that says " be a man" or "express yourself" or something like that... i think expressing yourself and showing aggression is good.. i mean you should be aggressive at the right places..but you should be.. you should have that passion for things...il elaborate that with an example.. our very own cricket..i like it when the news guys...dhoni..yuvraj..sreesanth...the whole new gang plays... because they are aggressive on the field.. i mean..if somebody says something..you gotta reply back you know..and no no.. not the "let the bat do the talking"... i hate that... and thats why i hate dravid... he is a good player..but he so dormant...mr cool is what people call him... he aint cool... mr cool is yuvraj...i guess im turning into a yuvi fan..thats because i think he is cool...i like the attitude he carries around...something that shouts out.."be a man"...i like them people who are not scared if they are not wrong..also people who are not afraid of standing by their decisions.. right or wrong.. its about being there and facing the world..and telling them about what youve done...or what you are going to do..thats how you do it.. with attitude..and with force..be a survivor.. give them a good fight...you win...you loose..that doesnt really matter for me...what matters is that you were knocked down..and you got up again...and you kept rising from the fallen until the end.. all the movie that i like signify this attitude.. rocky..is all about "how much you can take and get up again" thats how you do it..be there...do not run from it..do not try to do it later..do it now...although i have to admit..this attitude does have a driving force behind it..there is always someone special standing with you all the time..and when i say someone.. i dont necessarily mean an individual..but a cause.. something that tells you to get up..and give it another try..and someone who you can recon..even if you fail..all i try and i want..is to be a survivor..i hope i dont back down from anything without giving it all i have...also..i stand with all the decisions i make.. good or bad..i am there...being a man!! jai shri ram

yuvu se chat

you know its strange when you talk to somebody after real long.. you realized so much time has passed and so much has happened in your life...and all this time..you were just sitting there..going through things..without realizing it.i think there should be some dedicated "look back at your life" time..where you can relax.. and rewind through the past couple of years..months.. days..and you will se..that small things that happen everyday are now either a part of your routine or have changed your routine..its good.. its nice.. i was..infact.. i am talking yo yuvu...an old friend of mine from school..and its good.. we havent met since the past 5-6 years..but there are some people you just meet through some means or the other..thats good too..guuduu..i must have gone to mumbai a 100 times last year..but we just couldnt meet..and now that im here in US.. i realize.. its so stupid.. i should have gone..and we would have had a great time..but nevertheless...many more to come.. and when the time comes..itl be all parttyy...and party.. is new york city..there is this certain buzz or vibe about it..that makes you feel strange.. hard to put it in words.. but its unique.. actually now unique.. because when i was walking through new york last week... it was like i was in karol bagh..you know..crowdy place..buzzing with people... markets.. lights..nothing special... but again.. it is new york city..and everybody wants to be there...im not taking anything away.. its just that..some people make a big deal about it..and that is stupid for me..its a city..it has buildings..what are you taking pictures for?? a pretty building... go home..go to your city..its everywhere...buildings are everywhere...better buildings..i pass through trenton downtown every day... and i love it.. but i dont see people clicking pictures there..because its normal...but then again... new york is good.. it has this attitude..a good and a bad attitude..sadly..it is over hyped..i mean i think its over hyped..i have had people telling me that new york is romantic..romantic?? how...where..i wont talk much about it..because im bad with this mushy part of life.. i feel any place can be romantic.. or a great place..if you have the right set of people around... its people that make the city romantic... not the other way..when i think of city and a romantic place... i think of venice..yea..that i like..because its different..you know all water around and all..and may be the vibe..but then again..its hard to tell.. ive never been there...here it goes..hehe.. i was talking about yuvu and ended up talking nyc... but i like it this way... i dont have to think much...jai shri ram

america main chori nahi hoti..

this is going to be fun.. the other day.. on my way to college after a long super fast walk to the station(but i got the trrrain)..i forgot my overcoat at a bench on the platform..and boy was it cold that day..i realized it in secaucus junction that my coat wasnt with me..and i felt sad..disaapointed..stressed..anxious..romantic..happy...and the other feelings that i always have..but anyways about the coat...well leaving things at stations is something im not good at... i dont do it much..so i was quite surprised when i finally donated something to the otherwise lonely station..i often wonder.. the parking lot is always kinda full but i never see many people boarding the train..there is just me and coupla mexican guys and on the way back.. a weird law firm guy and again the mexicans...umm..where was i..oh yea my coat...well the train came..i was sitting on the bench exhausted from all the brisk walking(you either run or you walk..what the hell is brisk walking)..it was a not so cold day and i was wearing a sweater so i just tossed the coat over the bench before sitting..and then forgot to get it while boarding...all this time when i was in the train..in the college... i was feeling so damn stupid... i mean..its different of u loose things you know..although thats another thing that has never happened to me.. but i usually dont loose things..and i felt so stupid..that i didnt loose it..but just forgot to pick it...i wonder if there was some distraction on the train..umm..nea..nothing that i can think of(it is usually an empty train)..so there was i..on a windy day..just me my sweater and mera oswal muffler fighting through the winds oh..there was my cap too..so all of us were having a tough time..then..from college.. i had to go to nyc to meet my friend who is from london(i love the british..stiff upper lip accent)..nyc is a bright place.. lights and lights and lights..i dont get the funda..il be posting something on nyc pretty soon..ive got lots to write...this kind friend of mine offered buying a I LOVE NYC sweatshirt for me..but me..being the perfect gentlemen i am hehehe..was convinced that me and my fellow warriors could get through with it..back when i was in India..and america was something big for me..its big for me now too..but those were the times when i thought america was the perfect place..where things happen on time..where there arent no poor..and where everything is automatic..and where people are so kind and honest that they would even return your stuffed wallet safely to your place...back to my coat..i like it..its a black big overcoat..dad got it from london(again.. london.. how could i blllooddy looouse it..bugger!!)..what i thought was..nobody would steal it..but it will be borrowed by somebody for a long time.. somebody who didnt have a coat out in the cold..so i convinced myself to think that my coat is not stolen..but just borrowed by somebody who needs it more than me..because i have other coats to you..and maybe that individual does not..just when i was getting all sentimental about it...we got on the bus to hackensack..and i told my friend that il be walking back to the station to check if my coat was still there..even if it wont be there..atleast i would be satisfied that its gone.. so the 10 minutes walk from the bus stop.lonely streets,strong winds..and us 5..as we approached the station... i saw the bench i was sitting on..and voila..my coat was still there..oh was that a lovely site or what..on walk towards the station.. i told my bonney.. that if my coat is still there..that means..america main chori nahi hoti..although there is not logic behind it..but incorrectly speaking..if it hasnt happened to me..it hasnt happened...anyways..i was happy..to have the coat back on me..it felt warm..and cosy..and sad..and happy..and romantic..and the other things that i usually feel.. hehe..infact, the photo here..is when i got the coat back..it was good..jai shri ram

mrs white weds mr green

going on with the marriage posts, i have another great one here. not that marriage is all that i think about, but off late for some strange reason it is all that i find happening around me. suddenly the "single' world has become a 'couple" world.. couples running here and there.. and not just boy girl couple.. hehe.. anyways.. like i said..marriages are happening around..and what happens before marriages..is lou..yea..you are at love..like ive said earlier.. i think its a station.. so you are at love..and for a good happy marriage..you make the "lou station" your junction..so wherever you go..you pass through lou. but this post is not about lou..its about how you think about it..its about the person you love..well if you are in love..think again..this friend of mine..wants to lou marry a army officer..i dont get it..i mean i thought love was just suppose to happen..imagine how cool its gonna be..when you want to fall in love..only with guys in green uniforms...hehehe..damn..its weird for me.. i mean since when do clothes decide the person you are gonna fall in love with.. like the topic of this post suggests... mrs white.. a female.. working as a nurse..wants to lou marry a uniform man..anybody with a green uniform..seriously thinking about it..umm..there are people like that around..and things do eventually work out..but then i wont call that a lou marriage.. dude..thats an arranged marriage..its like you arent giving the other "civilians" hehe.. a chance... this is not fair..i need an explanation..infact..we good looking civilians...interested in mrs white..demand an explanation..we are not even considered huh!!.. well personally it doesnt really matter..at the end of the day.. its about the couples happiness..if mr and mrs green are happy..then end of discussion..but yes..i was on the think again vibe..think again people.. are you marrying the green uniform or the person inside..if the person inside is good..you are "lucky"..but if u start from inside out..then you are a true "couple"..and this another thing i saw on tv.. i think it was a shaadi.com ad...there were these two strange people..who met "on shaadi.com" and married after 20days of them meeting...woohoo..now thats quick..20 days..it takes me more than 20 days to accept a place i live in..and there you are deciding your partner..awesome..great ad..shaadi.com rocks..infact..im gonna put a small advertisement of shaadi.com..with all those single females (who have been married and divorced several times) peeping out of the banner asking if you are single..hahaha.. i remember i scared this friend of mine once by telling her that she was on one of those ads...hehehe..it was fun..all in all...what i see around me nowadays is that people are very happy..happy singles...happy doubles..just happy..so i guess..its doesn't really matter of you are green, red, blue, white, black outside...the inner you should be blue( i like the color blue..but then i like black and white too..and then there is red...but we are red inside you know..umm..) or any other color you want to be.. just be yourself..and find the others in the others...jai shri ram
