Enjoy your game and chase your dreams, because ultimately dreams do come true!

Hello Friends,

Remember this statement?
Yes, you are right! It was spoken by the God of Cricket Sachin Tendulkar, on the day he scored his 100th 100.

Every great personality has a life from which we can learn if we want. May it be Sachin Tendulkar, may it be Aamir Khan or anyone.

And What does their life teach you?
Its not the end result that matters, its the path followed to achieve it, the hardships and obstacles faced and the way in which the person bounced back after failure that matters!


Like in case of Sachin Tendulkar, if you read more about him, there are great writers like Harsha Bhogle who have spoken/written about him, that he started his career at the age of 16 and he is still playing.
So what has it been that has kept him going?
Talent? --Nope!
Its the Passion to Perform! Its the Desire, the his Dreams!!

And I talked about what all can we learn from great successful personalities is always dream! Set them as your goals, and make an effort to achieve it!
We must never forget that why all great personalities succeed -- is because they do what they do what  they love to do.. May it be anything, sports, research, -- anything!

Always make your dream your goal of life and work passionately towards it. You may not know when your dreams would come true, but they surely will!

Even sachin said, he had the dream of bringing a World Cup home, which he/they could achieve after 22 Years!

22 Years is not a small time, but what is more important is he/they did it!

So always chase your dreams, Passionately!!
Cheers Pals!

A Special Friend that I met along the way of Life!

Hello Friends,

This article is for my cute little friend and a special one for sure.. Miss B!

Oh yes, as always, I will not mention the name directly.. You may find her name somewhere in the article. (depends! not sure will write it or not)

Well, I learnt one thing after meeting her, that the strength of a friendship, or rather be any relationship does not depend upon the time you spend! We became friends around 5 months back, in October 2011 and you know what, we have get along so nicely now, that we can't miss a day without messaging each other a single day! (except the weekends!)

Before we go ahead, let me tell you all very frankly please DO NOT consider this friendship or relationship as a boyfriend-girlfriend one! Let me tell you, this one is much above it! (And actually I am not learned enough to define my current expressions and feelings in words, about what this friendship or what this person is for me!)

We first met during the rehearsals of the Annual Day Celebration at our Company with some group of people and just as like-minded people come together and share their views and thoughts, we went on sharing some really good moments..

We (as a group) performed on stage during the Annual Function.. and majority of us dispersed into our own daily chores of work! But as I rightly said above, some like-minded people come along and stay together for life! I, B and a couple more are still very close friends, share our thoughts and sorrows, have fun, discuss things give some beautiful names to each other and much much more!!

Tell you guys, she gave me a beautiful name "Santa" just before Christmas of 2011. Well, I really don't know whether I am worth it, but I try to keep up to it!

And my friends, you know what? No friendship is perfect without a fight.. Yes, indeed, even we had a small Fight! It was at the end of the year and we said bye-bye to that with 2011!

Blossoming and Bubbly B!

Everybody have their good and bad days, and not all days are same and that's why you feel happy during the Good ones.. Once even she had some really pathetic days and I tried my best to comfort her by playing some pranks and some self jokes. I thank god I was successful and I got this in return!

I got to say, that appreciation is always delightful and when it comes from the person you admire the most, it feels like Heaven!

We celebrated the colorful festival together with some more besties! Enjoyed like anything..

Now along with our work daily, we play pranks with each other, and some other people in our group, have fun, enjoy, take care of each, are always ready when anyone of us needs the other and what more do I say! I can just go on and on and on... and never stop!


Concluding this article (I would not say I kept it short), today, as I sit on my chair, writing this Article for you Miss B, I must tell you that you are the Best Person I have ever met in my life!!! And maybe, I will never meet anyone as good as you are or maybe there will be anyone as special as you are to me! Its really very hard to believe how someone out of my family could start understanding me so well in so less time!

You ROCK as you are!!! Please be yourself!
And keep on sharing your fragrance as you usually do!

Some Happy Friendship Moments

Recent Instance:

Today, i met one of my best friend's fiance. I met him previously a couple of times maybe.... But today.. When there were talks about some specific topics we both are interested in, it seemed to me like we are dear old friends chit-chatting!

Strange are some situations and cool are some people that turn so good friends in so less time.

And i gonna call him KK...

"Murthi" as my friend calls him..

Well, to tell you guys, we share some common interests like bikes -- specifically Bullet and Java the antiques -- and Blogging.

Believe me, he puts his heart out on paper (not literally) when he writes...

Oh man! I have become a fan of his articles..

And yes one more thing that we have in common.. We both are Fat... (Just that i am a bit more)

To summarize the above, i would say that,

Everyone of you might have come across such a situation, wherein you met someone had just an aquaintance and suddenly, you become good friends... (with one thing in both's mind, hey you like it?? Me too), and that's where the fun begins!

And till now, I have always seen one thing, that even from a big crowd, likeminded people always come together and stay buddies...

Wish you all such Happy Friendship Moments! :-)

When the Going gets Tough, the Tough gets Going!

This is an article about a person whom I admire a lot -- HB!

I met him for the first time during my induction. And man, must say, what attitude, what personality he had.. We all started talking about him after he left!

Next, from my first day at work, I have always found him to be the Fun-Loving, Workaholic and Bold  He-Man at Investis.

Well, now let me explain why I added all these adjectives to this person. He and his team works under a tremendous work load.. (Many a times, it seems that they have keyboards even at their feet!) And yet, I find him and his team mates always cracking jokes and having fun.. And neither does it affect their speed nor the quality of work they do!

As far as his work is concerned, I would say for him its like if there is any way to do the work, it only one.. "The Right Way" -- The Perfect Way!
We have always noticed perfection in his work.

Our team and his team work very closely -- must say hand in hand with each other. And once, during an annual event in our company, I gotta chance to talk to him something about his personal life -- The tough times that he has faced, the hard life that he has lived, the failures that he has had, and yet he is happy with what he has and whatever has happened to him!

Basically, after what I knew what all he had faced in his life, my respect for him actually increased, because there are people who get unhappy with life and stop trying once they face some hardships and failures in life, and he, was one of those few who bounce back and not just that, one of those who is on a roll!
I recollect a quote from William Arthur Ward at this point in time -- Adversity causes some men to break; others to break records! And he is the second kind of guy-- Truly Exceptional!

He is a person as I know, who has no fear to tell anything to anyone, come what may! -- whatever that person is, if he thinks he gotta say it and its right, he will never think of the consequences, he will speak it out!

And I think he follows this -- Instead of giving myself reasons why I can't, I give myself reasons why I can!

Currently, after sharing a nice period of almost 1 year and 6 months together, we are really good friends and for him, I just got one thing to say -- Not all pebbles can become a Diamonds. Its just the ones that can bear the Heat, do well under Pressure and have the most edges cut to perfection that shine the most! -- And this one is of a special Kind!

You Rock HB!!

Some Memories from my School Days and a Learning to Fight Fear!

I have always wished to perform.. To go on stage and sing a song, rock a performance, do some acting... and so on..

Right from when I was a kid, I saw various artists performing on small and big screen, Live Programs and some Stage Shows.

Till 6th Std, when I had been a part of a play called "Aasha-A Ray of Light", it was just something that could never be done. I still remember that day, it was a Thursday, our show was to begin, at 6PM and I was sweating like hell.. It was already 5:45PM, got the required make-up (for my required role, which was that of a Manager -- with around 55 years of age -- ) and my heart was pumping inside me with the greatest force it can! (I even felt it will come out you know!)

But behind it all, there was something in my mind, wasn't this the one that I had waited for?
And I said YES! I started remembering all those programs and award functions that I had seen on television and thought of these performances...
And slowly and steadily my restlessness was gone! I started feeling confident, enough  to take myself on stage and perform my role.

While all this was going on in my mind, suddenly our chief guest appeared there! NAYAN MONGIA -- the chief guest at the evening, came in when we were just behind the side curtains standing and waiting for our turn to come...
"Hello Young Guns!" he started.. and we were like O Man! its him!
"Hey Fellows, do perform well, and I will be watching you.. You guys look so cute really.. Oh Wow.. You have a kettle.. (he said to my friend Pranay Shah) hey that's nice are you playing the chaiwala?? , Hey Wow, You are wearing a Nice Suit! (He said to me) You guys are superb, continue it!"

Man.. we felt as if we were seeing some kind of dream.. and we literally screamed when he went on stage from there!!

And now we were encouraged by the then Wicket Keeper of the Indian Cricket Team..
So how can we let it go!

We performed our play, and you know what, I was the one that stood in the end with a mic introducing everyone.. with their names! (Got cheers for that from the crowd for that, and got my cheeks pulled from my teachers for that as this was their task that I did.. ;) )

But this incident, had got the fear off me, for going on stage and performing!

Till date, I must say, I never feel afraid of going on stage (well frankly speaking, sometimes I do, but I remember this day and its gone!)
  
I would like to conclude this article with a noble thought, "If you fear of something, fight it out by doing that thing! The maximum thing that can happen is that you will fail in that thing, but you will surely win your fear!"
