A Trip that has got us all friends closer to each other in the journey of Life!

Hello Friends,

Well, this in post I would like to share a very nice and touching instance of my life, that I spent with some of the most awesome people I have ever met in my life.
In this post, I would like to name them first, they are, Hardeep Bhamra, Urvesh Vekariya, Kiran Patil, Yogesh Patel, Vinayak Chauhan, Ramesh Babu, Darshak Shah, Nimit Patel, Muktesh Mehta, Bhavesh Maniya.

We all 11 made a very runtime plan and went to Abu-Ambaji just to chill out and enjoy.All of us got Tatkaal reservation and went by Train, while coming 4 of us came back  by train and the rest by Bus.
We relished each others company there! We roamed around together, went to the Ambaji Temple in the morning at 5:15, then went to Abu stayed at a Hotel called Maharaja, went to all the tourist spots, played some Games like Air Hockey, shooting and Racing at the game parlour, went to the Haunted House (I still remember I was on Nimit, He(Nimit) was on Ramesh and then He(Ramesh) was on Hardeep, but we still enjoyed it inspite of Hardeep got his goggles broken).. Man! It was an awesome trip!

But I think the best part of the trip was not this fun. It was one hour that evening, Saturday evening that we all spent together in that room chitchatting and knowing more about each other. We actually got together in that room to pull each other's leg, specially Darshak's I suppose, but it came to be such that at the end of that one hour, we all got so emotional! I think that one hour was the best one hour of my life till now.

I not only got to know how others are, I even gotto know myself much more than what I knew myself. For some people like Ramesh and Yogesh, which we thought to be fun loving and tension free come what may, we  even found that even they have an emotional side of theirs, which they never come out with in public. Even a person like Nimit, who is so strong, got emotional, while telling his life story, when at a point of life, he got upset thinking his parents were worried for him and his future, and how he covered it up; relieved them from this pressure. There were some very shocking things revealed in front of us, specifically the ones like Vinayak and Muktesh don't have their father, and Vinayak still misses him and wants to secure his family in a way so that they don't feel the loneliness that he has felt in his childhood.

We only knew Darshak as a source of Fun, but in this trip, we even got to know that he feels the pain when someone teases him, he is too introvert to say that to others, but he does. And with Bhavesh, a very kind guy, who seems to take care of even his seniors, has learnt a lot from his past experiences and thinks of his family as his first responsibility. Urvesh, who is a happy-go-lucky guy, the most tension free person I have ever seen, is also a very family minded person and respects his elders like anything.

This trip, also told us, that things are not always the way we see it.
Ramesh, whom so far we have only seen cursing his father, has his father as his role model, and he still repents on the thing that he had told his father, when he was a child. Also, he is so proud of his father! I already respected him for what he was, but sometimes, I personally didn't like when he used to say something bad about him. But I think this instance, changed it all. I respect him from my heart now!

I knew Hardeep Sir and Kiran Sir very well, many of their thoughts, their views, their stories, how they have come up to this level, and I think the best part of their life is that they haven't forgotten their past, and even today, they make their best to help every kid/younger one in their own way so that he/she can succeed/sustain/be happy. I must say I am a part of this-- the younger one who has got the privilege to work with such masters, and gotto know life more, and succeed!


Sometimes, somethings really have a imprints on your life. I think this trip was one such!

It will always be remembered for its beauty and the reason it took all of us so closer!

Cheers,
Varun

Being Human?

Hello Friends,

In this article, I would like to narrate a small instance that I encountered when I was travelling on my bike.

I was on my way to the office, when I saw few people gathered on the cross roads. Approaching the cross roads, I saw an old man sitting in the middle of the road with a small kid (probably with his grand daughter). They were on a moped, and met with an accident with a car driver.

I had not seen the accident happening, so I better not comment on that. But, the scene that I saw was very enraging. A young stout guy in a white Verna, met with an accident with this old man. This guy, didn't even have the courtesy to get down and help the old man and the kid to get up and take them on the side of the road. Instead, he got out of the car and started shouting at him, boasting about his post and position, and the damage that the accident did to his newly bought car. And you know what, this mannerless guy was wearing a T-Shirt of "Being Human"

At the same time, some stopped there and with the help of a couple of guys more, helped the old man and the kid to move to the left side of the road. We parked his vehicle. One of the guys helping them, was a  Doctor, and had a small First-Aid Kit with him in his car, who helped them cleaning the wounds and small bandages very fast. (That's courtesy I think!) One of them was so furious on that shout guy, he literally went to fight with him!! Almost hit him with his helmet in his hand. One more, bought a bottle of Bislery from a store nearby for them. We all departed in few mins after the old guy was feeling better and the small kid smiling at us!

After this event, I really felt bad for the old guy, he might have been in fault during the accident, but then looking at his age, should he have received that response from the Young Guy?
Tell me guys who was the real human in this situation? What actually that guy who met with an accident with this Old man would have done? Was he right on his part, for what he actually did?
Does only wearing a T-Shirt of "Being Human" make you a Human? Or is it that your deeds, your actions and your responsibility towards other humans make you one?

I would not like to conclude this with a Moral or something, you are the best person to decide it!

Hardwork always leads to Success!

Hello Friends,


Today, I write this article because someone has inspired me to write this one. That person is the one whom I really respect a lot, and I was told that it could become a source of inspiration for many as well as people would understand that there is no substitute to hard-work and are no shortcuts in reducing weight.


Yes my friends, this article is on reducing weight, which I recently did -- I reduced 12 Kg (26.45 Pounds) -- in a time period of 6.5 months -- since Oct 15th 2011.


Let me brief you how I started. Well, actually on 14th Oct 2011, I got detected for High Thyroid and High Cholesterol. I was really taken aback, was sad, obviously didn't let my feelings get expressed on my family -- for whom it was a massive blow, my grandma, my mother, my daddy, my sister, who literally had started crying when they saw the reports -- and I was the one smiling at them, saying don't worry, its a temporary one, all this will get cured. I had a belief, that if I put some real effort I can do it -- Anyone who puts it, does it, so why not me? As some one has rightly said --Belief in oneself is one of the most important bricks in building any successful venture. And this time, I had to take some sure-shot steps to reduce weight and get the cholesterol and thyroid in control.


Now, believe me, I have not been a perfect human being to know everything, and to do everything the right way! I am still learning, from the various experiences that life gives me. So previously, even I had tried many shortcuts to reducing weights, obviously, was never serious, but tried some vague ideas and some things that I read on internet and some as insisted by my dear friends -- like dieting, gyming, etc. -- and the result was Nothing. Reason again maybe because I was not serious towards it, or maybe because they were shortcuts or maybe because they lacked consistency.


But this time, I was pretty sure I gotto do it at any cost. I think that's why its rightly said -- Necessity is the mother of Invention. I gotto know the actual way or say the real path that let to reducing my weight, Pheew!! Finally!  In the beginning, I started slow walking, then Brisk walking, then jogging and then brisk walking and running (sprint) -- for a distance of around 7.5 to 8 KM (around 5 Miles). Next, after time period of around 3 months of doing this, I bought a Bicycle, and traveled 25 KM daily, which I continued for 2 Months. And currently, I do both -- Cycling as well as Brisk walking -- Cycling around 18 KM and Brisk Walking 4 KM on daily basis.
I have been consistent this time, and everytime I stand on weighing machine, I get down cheerfully getting to know that I have lost something. And I think -- I may be wrong but that's what I think -- what helped me reduce weight this time was punctuality.


So why did I write this article? Just to boast about my success?


No friends, you may surely feel it boastful till now, but the prime intention of this article was to tell you all, that THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE TO HARDWORK -- THERE NEVER WAS! And if you are keen on reducing weight, believe this and start working the basic way.
You may surely reduce by going to a Gym, but you can also do it the basic way -- Walking, Jogging, Running, Cycling -- and as such exercising in Natural Environment is always good, plus you can save money!


I have seen many friends, literally starving to reduce weight, get green tea and what not. They search for all the shortcuts, and try them all -- Well I was one such previously, so I won't blame you!
But I think, sometimes, some things happen in life that make you serious towards something, I would really like to thank that blood report that said I had high thyroid and high cholesterol -- which helped me achieve this!


To all my Dear Friends -- Please stop trying and thinking and start working!!! As Action is the foundational key to all Success!


This is the truth of life, for anything that comes your way, not just reducing weight. Reducing weight is just taken as an example of my life. But actually, You give that thing, that work your 100% and you are sure to get results out of it! Also, I while discussing with some of my friends, they say that not hardwork, but smart work leads to success -- I would like to say, to know the way to work smart, you need to understand the work first, which you can know by toiling hard, and get to know what it is and then act smartly -- Hope I am right.. 

Cheers,
Happy Hardworking!

A Cancelled Plan actually must say A Postponed Plan and Some Broken Hearts!

Hey Friends,

This article is an incident about yesterday.

I was to go for a dinner with my best pals. We made this plan just a day before and all of us were so exited about this! But since morning I wasn't well. I had some stomach problems.
Still, I didn't tell anyone about this and kept on for an affirmative for the plan. In any case, I didn't wanna cancel the plan because of me. I didn't wanna cancel the plan because of me.
(I am neither trying to praise or showoff by making this statement, but I wanna explain what type of a person I am.. Whenever there is something, wherein I am a part of it, I try to give my 100%  and be there come what may. I am always in for my friends, try to be with them whenever they need me, if its work, I make sure I am in there till it completed successfully, if its family, it actually becomes my duty and make sure I am there. In any case, I never like that it gets affected because of me. I don't know why, but it feels pathetic and feels as if I am guilty if I am unable to do. But sometimes, some situations aren't in your control -- some situations demand more importance than some others and you need to cancel or do away with one.)
 Finally, after going to Latrine for the third time during the day in office, I told one of my friends about it -- that I got some stomach problems, and don't tell anyone but I may either drop out or come but won't eat.
She told me that its not important to eat! And we go some other day!(obviously, I understand, what was more important was enjoying together, and I surely won't have if I had gone yesterday, I wasn't well!)

And hence, we postponed the plan. But from that moment, as I just told you how I feel when such a thing happens -- as if I am the culprit and was responsible for spoiling their moods.

The bad feeling, kept on pinching me long (and it still is pinching me!), and I decided that we go come what may!!
But the damage was already done... Everyone was already upset.. I think my decision of telling that I wasn't well did it.

I am very sure they understood my position and that's why they took the decision of postponing it, and they wanted that we go when all are 100% so that all enjoy!!

But how do I explain how bad I feel about it...

In case you refer to this article anytime in future, I am sorry guys!!
I am extremely sorry.. Please forgive me for spoiling our plans and your moods!
