Technology Rox…..even in flirting

Today on my way to office I took a bus from Pragati Maidan, as usual. It was the Red A.C. Bus. so even with crowd it is cool from the inside. Two girls were sitting there so I just stood next to them waiting for any seat to get empty. An Aunty left the seat so I said to one of those gals “Nisha, can you shift to that side?” That girl looked at me all amazed & shifted, then said “How do U know my name?” with a bit of anger for stranger on her face. I said I got 6th Sense to which she made a weird face & gave me the “look”.

I finally said “It’s nothing, U were transferring songs to your friend’s Nokia 6300 from your Sony Ericsson W580i. I turned on bluetooth of my phone & searched for devices & it found your Phone by the name Nisha’s W580i. People usually give there phone a name in it’s bluetooth profile by there own real name so I got your name”.

Lolz…the look on her face was something to see….Seriously, Technology sometimes makes such blunders that it is something to look at…

Pappu is on TV….So I am on Meow 104.8, on Air

Today was going boring as usual. I planned for some shopping after getting my salary but the plan was ruined due to rain. It stopped in the evening but since it was too late I went to shop in the near market only instead of buying cargo & T-Shirts today.

On the way back I was listening to Meow 104.8 FM & the Anchor Divya was talking to people on the topic “Has there been any situation in your life when you have defied your parents, teachers or anyone by doing something they said you can’t do?” This was something which I am doing since I completed my class 12th. I got nice marks in 12th but instead of doing engineering which my dad wanted me to do; I opted for simple B.Com & did my course from Arena Multimedia for Animation. Then I left for Bangalore, came back to Lucknow to follow the crowd to pursue MBA but I failed in that & now back to my Job. One thing I realized that I can do only what I am meant to do. I am not meant to be a Manager right now; I mean I just don’t see myself fitting there at this age.

I talked to Divya at approx 9:05 pm & accidently called her Ginni, damn….she was like so furious & she wanted me to sing a song for her. I am pathetic singer so she started singing “mujhse shadi karogi” herself…lolz, she does have a lovely voice. I said the message which I wanted to say to everyone, “Do something which you think you can do instead of following the crowd. At the end of the day its satisfaction which matters & when your return home you are not tired because you have been doing something you enjoy to do.” Luck is nothing to rely on & God doesn’t exist so don’t rely on him for anything. This is what I have been doing & I am happy for it. Whatever it is, success or failure….it is something I did on my own. Being a self made man is something I like.

I guess it was a clear line today due to which I was able to get connected to the channel because usually the line is always busy as many people are calling in. Few days back my MVP Lead Abhishek Kant was also on Air at Ginni’s show at around 6:15 pm talking about blogging & Delhibloggers.in. It was nice listening to where blogging has reached today due to the internet revolution. Listening to FM on the way back to home or when going to office in morning is my favorite time pass, & I will be making frequent calls to FM now. I like to talk, let’s just talk then. I called Priya, Praveen & Shailja to tell this, & they were not only shocked but also happy for me.

It’s good to be different & do something on your own. Yes, you have to struggle a lot in the beginning but you can’t succeed unless you work hard. There is no shortcut to success. I have been winning the MVP award for 3 consecutive years, this isn’t small. I am working at a good pay (although I require more in Delhi. Boss….if you reading then plz hike my salary & give leave on Saturday to all the employees) & I am not going to stop here, this is just the beginning…..Redmond, Washington is something I aim for as a UI designer for Microsoft Windows Platform.

 

What a movie Experience

That marks for my first movie in Delhi. On Saturday I went to see the movie Love Story 2050 with my brother here in Satyam CinePlex in Janakpuri where bags are not allowed. Now, this I did not know & 15 minutes before entering the theater we were told we cannot carry the bag inside.

Few days back Priya told me to switch to Cargos as I look better in Cargo then jeans. Well Priya, my darling…u were right, they are indeed beneficial. Me & brother took out everything from the bag & stuffed it inside the cargo pockets, the benefit of 6 pockets, & not just that…we even stuffed the bag itself in a pocket. Talk about modularity…lolz

I am about to get my first salary here, & the first time I am going to do is to buy some more Cargo, pay bills, rent, recharge my Reliance phone with Rs 496 card. Since I had to skip office on some days I won’t be getting full salary & some of it will be deducted but that was expected. First I don’t have leave on Saturday & then they cut money on leaves. When else do they think I will get time to work, or buy stuff, look for home etc. The account department said they will cut my salary & I said calmly “Ya sure, cut it. No probs”. They were looking at me being Ok dumbfolded.

Well, it seems Pappu is all the rage these days. Imran khan is singing the Song that “Pappu can’t dance” while Amitabh Bachchan is saying “pappu pass ho gaya”…but here is the thing, my friend Pappu is coming on TV.

Those who know me know I got only 3 best friend guys in my life, Ibrahim, Aman & Praveen & Pappu = Praveen. The guy is the next best rake other then me which I have seen in my Life, however he is still a bit shy to flirt or talk to girls…not anymore, the Dude is on TV for gods sake & that adds up to the repo. Praveen was auditioned for the TV Game show “Dadagiri” & it will be aired on July 22, Bindass TV. You better watch it yourself to see how good he fared on TV.

Dude, I am in Microsoft but U R on TV, trust me…Surabhi, Ashya, they all should know where we have transcended after leaving there worthless company about which we were the only one willing to keep the friendship alive while they left us for there boyfriends.

Since everyone is on orkut these days, this is Praveen’s Orkut Profile
