The truth hurts….in more then one ways

Well, Delhi Round 2 starts now. Today morning I woke up & we had water clogged in the balcony due to overflowing water tank upstairs. I woke up at 7 am & cleaned all the water I could due to which I was a bit late. When Navjot came back almost all the water had dried up but I was late for office. Since I was late anyway, I decided to go slow & clean all my cloths & then leave for Office.

Nitisha reached Lucknow today & she called me in morning. She is suffering from Cough & Cold & wasn’t talking much. While talking to her Navjot was telling me to introduce him to her…lolz..he has no idea who Nitisha is. He has no idea what to talk to girls about, I mean he tells me to introduce him to any gal I meet so that he can go forward & always mocks me. So I showed him that he himself sux & isn’t any good. I told Nitisha about him & she wasn’t interested but when Navjot mocked me, she said she wants to talk to him. I gave the phone to Nitisha & Navjot’s condition was worth watching. He wasn’t even able to utter a word. He said “i don’t know what I should talk to you” …WTH…..should I even tell him this.

Nitisha said she will be his friend, least she knows that Navjot is not interested in a Friend girl & only interested in sex due to which I don’t introduce him to to my other friends. Few days back when I was talking to Amita, Navjot wanted to talk to her too so I asked Amita whether she wants to talk to him, Amita said to him on phone “Tell him I m not interested in him”. I mean, WTH is wrong with this guy, even Nitisha said “He is MBA?? Doesn’t seem like one”.

After this, he started blaming Nitisha saying “She was talking very slowly, I was not able to understand…blah blah blah…

I never asked any friend of mine to introduce me to some girl, I did it on my own. I flirt & girls like it. I never asked for anyone’s Help when I made Ashya or Surabhi or Gauri my friend. Girls like boys who are confident so it’s not my fault that he isn’t confident.

The truth does hurts & I showed him today on his face that he needs to learn things himself, I can’t teach him how to be confident & how to talk to girls.

Windows Live Writer : Portable

Since the only source of Internet in Delhi for me is my Office, I needed a portable application for blogging because installing my own applications is not allowed in Office. This is the reason I use portable version of Firefox, Pidgin, 7-Zip etc for my work but so far I wasn’t able to find a proper & good Portable Blogging application. I use Windows Live Writer for posting my blogs which is a boon to all Windows Users who blog. This is an awesome application which even Microsoft haters agree that it is a good application. While looking for a portable replacement I came across something interesting. Windows Live Writer is already available in Portable format.

Presenting Windows Live Writer : Portable by Scott Kingery. It requires Administrative rights to run. The following text is taken from his blog.

Download Windows Live Writer : Portable

The zip file does NOT contain everything you need to run Windows Live Writer. This is simply a launcher which will run Windows Live Writer in a self contained environment so you can take everything with you between computers via your USB memory stick or other portable device.

To get this portable app to work you need to follow these steps closely:

1. Unzip this file to your USB or other portable drive
2. Download Windows Live Writer from: http://windowslivewriter.spaces.live.com
3. Install Windows Live Write as usual. You don’t even have to run it, just so long as it is installed.
4. Copy ALL of the files FROM c:\program files\windows live writer TO the new structure on your USB drive that looks like the graphic below \WindowsLiveWriterPortable\App\WindowsLiveWriter

5. You can now uninstall Windows Live Writer if you want

To use Windows Live Writer from your USB drive simply double click on WindowsLiveWriterPortable.exe and it will take care of the necessary registry settings and document paths. If you have used WLW on your computer before, the launcher will copy all your settings and files to the USB drive.

Why do they always think she is my girlfriend?????

Phew! Back to home after so many days & had to meet so many friends. I was busy since 12 PM yesterday & came home at 9 PM. First I went to give my bike for repair then met Divy & Kumar in Fun republic for lunch then I was supposed to meet Priya in Wave but she got late so I just did some window shopping & then planned to go to Pooja’s home with Divy, although he was again late so I decided to meet Priya first & then go to Pooja’s home as we can go there even in night. Pooja’s home was nice, Aunty gave us lots to eat.

I have had it with the mentality of people in Lucknow & Delhi. Yesterday I met Priya in the evening in Ritz after her work in office. She has earned some good amount of money by doing part time jobs this month, at least now she can buy a Reliance phone. Anyway, we met & since I was short on time we went to Ritz. Now, she was having a throat infection so she said she won’t have anything cold & I ordered one ice cream for me but alas, the service guys always think we are a couple & he gave me one ice cream with 2 Spoons ….WTH, If I am with a Girl in a hotel does that means she is my GF only & can’t be something else. To tease the service people I went back to the receptionist & gave him one spoon back & ordered a Hot Coffee & said “Bro, she isn’t my GF” .

Same thing was in Delhi. I met Amita in 3Cs few days back & same thing. We were standing outside in the smoking zone. Now, we were standing close to each other & talking all sort of things like her BFs, my friends etc etc & everyone who was passing by was looking at us in  strange way. Even couples were looking at us like we were aliens & boys specially at Amita. She said this happens in Delhi & she is used to it. Maybe it was because Amita has a mind blowing figure & looks 200% sexy, people must be thinking what a jerk guy like me doing with a goddess like her. Oh well, this isn’t much different then it was in Lucknow when I used to go out with Priya or Ashya or anyone. There was one time when while waiting for Ashya I started talking to some other girls in wave & when she came she was furious that why I am talking to that other gal.

This makes me wonder, people don’t mind when they are roaming around with there GF or friends but when some other guy is somewhere with a girl, the first thing which comes in there mind is “They must be a couple”. I mean WTH…isn’t there any other relationship left???

Delhi Round 1 completes

After joining my job in Delhi this will be my first trip back to Lucknow, then will start Round 2. I am leaving for Lucknow on June 20 night & will come back to Delhi on June 23 morning. This is one important trip as I need to bring my Workstation to Delhi & then my bike as having my own bike is very important for me now, commutation is hell costly.

When in Lucknow, my old Lucknow’s BSNL number will continue to work & my Delhi’s Idea Number will be off for 3 days.

The days here were now going the way I want. I finally managed to get a workstation & the ability to customize it according to me needs as permitted by Boss. Oh! Well, a workstation which works according to my way helps in increasing productivity, most people don’t understand this.

I hope the next post here will be from my own workstation, running in my home in Dwarka using Sify Broadbad. See you all in few days.

Boys night out 1.0

I had the first weekend after joining the job & as usual boys had a night out at the room. Aman came so Mayank & Navjot bought booze as usual & I left the room to stay outside as I can’t stand the stinch of Alcohol & Cigarette. They talked a lot, about me, my GFs, etc etc & I was like “Why r u so concerned about me?”

I talked to Aakriti that night at her new number, it was not for long, just a brief talk. I wasn’t able to communicate with other friends so I bought a Reliance Prepaid connection as in that I can make free STD & Local calls to other Reliance CDMA, Relience Smart & Relience Landline phones. Oh! well, that solves lots of problems. Last night I talked a lot to Nitisha & since Shailja & Nikki also has it, Priya will buy one RIM phone next month, now at least I won’t get bored. It is a LG Phone for Rs 1,400 + Rs 496 recharge. Every month I will have to pay Rs 496 only & then unlimited calls to Reliance phones even in STD. Not a bad deal. I am loyal to GSM only though, love my K750i but IDEA GPRS sux big time, Airtel GPRS is good but call rates are very high, although I don’t mind paying more as I am a Rake so talking is important.

That halts my plans to buy a Nokia N82 this month, as it isn’t required. Sister is sending the computer to Delhi within this month & we are buying an Airtel broadband connection so I won’t be requiring a N82 yet anyway, it can wait till September.
