Lying on my bed here at my new small room in delhi and reading Mainak Dhar's "the fundas of mix-ology" made me recall a phone call that came an hour back. It was a call from a very good friend Sohit, reminding me about a small yet quite special moment that happened same day, same time last year. I couldn't stop myself from writing this blog entry even at a time when i don't have a proper net connection but like they say if a thought comes to your mind don't wait to put it on your blog because once that moment passes trust me you can never write about it. So writing this entry with the help of my best friend, my nokia 6300.It was the same day 30th jan last year, gandhi ji's death anniversary {i didn't knew about this last year and even this year and trust me i am ashamed of myself for this} a dry day. But the plan was set for Sohit to sip in first vodka of his life and as he just told me he was out today to have some drinks but couldn't get any because of dry day and how difficult was it to get that special bottle of white mischief vodka last year.It was me, Sohit and rishabh who were together that night for that vodka bottle, it was although a very ordinary night except for the fact that its also the birthday of a special person, right Sohit? Everything was simply great, drinks were on along with snacks and Sohit's cell phone kept away from him so that he doesn't act like an idiot and call up an even bigger idiot who doesn't give a damm about him. Anyways forget all this now let of come to that part because of which we are celebrating this anniversary, after a couple of drinks when Sohit was quite high, he did the most silly thing or should i say the moment i always cherish and tell everyone when i discuss the after effects of alcohol, well Sohit just grabbed that half left bottle of vodka and started saying "i'll finish this bottle alone or else i won't pay for it" we tried our best to convince him to give the bottle back and to enjoy the night but he was not ready to listen a single word, so we told him ok don't pay anything but let us also drink but he had something else in his mind, he took out a piece of paper and wrote on it that " i Sohit will not pay for this bottle" and wrote our names and roll no. Below it and asked us to sign it, so we had to sign that note and when all this was about to end another friend prix came to my room and that's how Sohit got a witness, he made him to sign that paper as witness. :-) finally we got that bottle back and had a great night and after he got over with the hang over the next day that he came to me and asked what that slip was and what's it doing in his pocket.. :-) and since that day 3 of us still laugh over it... I know Sohit you are really gonna kill me for writing this entry but bro kya karun those were the days of our lifes that we'll cherish throughout our lives. It was not a big day but it has a special place in our heart and hats off Sohit for calling me today and to making me relive our coll. Days.. So guys that's 'the funda of a happy life-ology'... :-)

hey ravin although i have already written my views so many times on orkut but after reading all these comments and after what happened yesterday after my GF finished reading that book i again feel like writting something more...
This is so far the best book i have read,A book that changed my love life it made me feel how special that girl is for me... All the work pressure and circumstances were killing my relationship but it was after reading your book and with tears in my eyes i called her up and told her how much i love her and promised her that things will be diff and beautiful from now..
Not just this some of my friends also read your book and they were all speechless like me and their tears were enough to express what they felt,they told their BF's/GF's to read the book... Like these many are still running after me to read this book...
But it were my GF's msg's after reading the book that made me feel so special...
I must say its a must read... every page of your book has so many feelings attached to it... After completing the book i couldn't stop myself from searching you and communities associated with this book so that i can say thanks to you for making me realize what love is...
Yes some of my friends even said "if the most romantic person learned something from a book than there must be something in that book"
Ravin hats off to you and i know what i felt while reading this book i still cant believe you had to go through all this... i can't even write i know how you must have felt because i seriously don't know and i don't know what i would have done if i would have been in your place...
Hats off man!!
I seriously feel everyone should read this book and I'll do my best to make it possible...
Ravin keep writing... All the best...

Every Satyam’ite is a Leader
I(Satyamite) am deputed at client location and came across a very interesting conversation in cafeteria yesterday. One of my co-worker, also deputed with the same client through some lesser known two room company, mustered guts to ask me sarcastically in front of entire team, “So, Satyam is gone! What are you guys planning to do now?” In normal circumstances, I have a habit to not to reply to lose talks, but in front of entire team…. I thought I need to fix this guy’s thought process. I asked him, as my military training has imbibed in me the habit to fight till last breadth, “Who says Satyam is gone when I am very much alive here and committed to create value on behalf of my company?”. He shot back, “Hello Mr., your chairman has resigned, you guys are facing financial turbulence and you still have a face to say that Satyam is not gone!”
At this juncture, I thought of replying to this guy in his own language. I asked him, “Tell me, what will you do and where will you go if our country India was not there?” He was not prepared for this level of thought and asked back, “What a stupid question, How can India be gone, it is a country?” I asked him back, “Country! What makes a country? Land? Economy? Our Prime Minister? Our President? Our Geography? Or the PEOPLE? If our PM resigns, will you say India is gone? If our economy faces a slowdown, will you say India is gone? But yes, if the people of a country are lost for any reason, we will say that country has no meaning. Who cares of vast land of Antarctica today which has just one permanent resident, Father Georgy? Which country does it belongs to? Why does not it has any government? Why does not it has any economy? Or, how many countries were there when humans used to hunt for food in pre-historic times? Countries, Wealth, Infrastructures and booming economies are nothing but creations of efforts of PEOPLE, and they do not have any existance on their own. And the final blow was, “When one man can create Satyam as an organization of 53,000 people, why not 53,000 committed people can rebuild one SATYAM?”
By now, I saw my point was well placed and he stood up and shook hands with me and murmured, “Yaar, when I used to hear from my roommate who work in Satyam that EVERY SATYAMITE IS A LEADER, I used to laugh it off. Now, I know why! ”

JUIT V/S JIITU - Thank God I am a JUITian...
Although both of them are backed by the same great Jaypee group but only JUIT represents the true greatness of this group...
Beautiful surroundings, awesome building,great learning atmosphere and above all great people...
Some of JUITians will disagree with me on several points but guys trust me no one knows JUIT better than me and come and spend a month here in JIIT you yourself will feel the difference...
I completed my graduation from Jaypee university of information technology waknaghat,solan {H.P}, A place which has given me so many great memories,some awesome friends, i met with some really nice and loving people... Even the faculty in JUIT is quite caring...
Its because of HCL's Japanese language training that brought me to JIIT a sister institute of JUIT located in sector 62 Noida...
Before i point out the -ve points i think i should start with one +ve point that you can feel about this coll. on the very 1st day only and that's its awesome food... ya the food here is quite tasty... but that's just one thing before you enter the mess you have to pass through these bunch of idiots who'll check your I cards and who are very particular about the fact that if you are not a hostetler or from some other coll you don't get inside without buying a stupid 30 rs. coupon. I joined here on 8th Dec the month when JIIT has winter vacations and right from Day1 they started charging us for food irrespective of the fact that we are paying entire fees of 1 complete semester...
It was because of Medury sir's blessing that we got HCLites exempted from paying in mess but that lasted for just 1 week, next week again the same drama "No from today everyone has to pay" and that too at inner time when no one's available to talk and these idiots don't have the basic courtesy to let students eat that night so that the can talk in the morning... I mean WTF..
This process of going to Medury sir and the exemption and them back to same old story lasted till 29th Dec after that we thought there's no point bothering Sir with this stupid issue because these JIITians have no sense...
Another very Idiotic thing about this damm coll is that every night no matter where you are,well or unwell,sleeping or studying - you have to be in Wardens room b/w 9:30 and 10 to mark your attendance... and as the rule says absents without leave will cause serious consequences which includes suspension from hostels.. WTF don't mark your attendence and you get a wild pass to have all the fun outside the campus!!!
And ya the stupid out pass {leave form} here has two parts one same as the one in JUIT where when and duration type and the second has to be signed by your parents to prove that you went home and no where else although no one follows that rule but still the idiotness...
This is a question for all JUITians > Guys at what time does our hostel gates close... Confused ya JIIT has this 11 PM rule complete blackout on roads after 11, all street lights off and hostel gates closed...
I still remember those trips to Anshu dhaba at the middle of night... Than they say JIIT is more fun...
My answer come to JUIT has feel what actually is coll. life.
Than come the most imp point... How "galeech" JIIT is... Guys when you come back from home and your parents give you 1000 or 500 Rs notes don't feel so happy because if you are in JIIT and you have 100Rs note in your wallet than also you won't get anything to eat because this stupid fellow who gives you cafeteria coupons will never have any change even for 100Rs. what to say about 500.
Although they sell only 3-4 items in JIIT cafeteria but they are tasty but you'll have to get change to eat them... Not like our thakur ji, give him a 500Rs. note and he'll be happy to give you change...
Then Sharmaji's or Lalaji's replacement here is Gupta ji and some other small stalls outside gate 2 but they are only available till afternoon...
i still remember those awesome evening times at cafe or sharma ji or McD and now even Moksh outside JUIT gate...
Ya ya i agree there are so many places outside JIIT but McD and Barista of JIIT have their own charm as compared to the original McD and barista here in shipra..
Don't know about the hostel students my life here in faculty block is quite comfortable as i can order food from outside at night and their are many options too... This the only thing we guys didn't had in JUIT where there was only sunny full stop and vatika which used to deliver food in JUIT but again we had Anshu dhaba even at 2AM...
And ya Dayschi's of JUIT you guys are seriously better than the ones here who are afraid to enter hostels because of the fear of suspension yes i have witnessed it... even the warden here can come anytime even at midnight so JIITians do visit JUIT to see the luxurious hostel life there...
Ya girls here have more freedom and enjoyment but they definitely don't have a loving and caring warden like Maala ma'am...
One advantage JIIT has is its sports field i mean this coll has a football ground, basketball court,volleyball court,lawn tennis,badminton,swimming pool and much better Gym not like JUIT where the basketball court and volleyball court served all the purpose...
After just 1 Month of living here i can very proudly say that i am a proud JUITian and thank god i choose to Btech in JUIT waknaghat and not in JIIT {ya i was getting a seat here also but in evening shift which was later merged with the morning shift only!!!}...
JUIT rocks!!!
P.S:- will update this post from time to time after all i still have 5 more months to survive here...
This is a request to all JIET guna ppl to plz send in your JIET guna V/s JIIT points in the comments field...
And ya before compiling this article i have talked to many JIITians too and i know not publically but ya you'll also agree to several points here...

Looking back at my life in 2008 and moving forward to 2009...
Its Jan 1,2009...
A new year,a new day,a new beginning...
But before this new start let me first thank all those who made my 2008 so special....
My thanks to all my friends who made every moment worth living...
Special thanks to HCL and in particular Sandhaya mam for giving me an opportunity to work for HCL... frankly speaking that was the biggest day of my life...
Thank thanks to my teachers, HOD sir and Medury sir because of whom i am what i am today.. yes An Engineer and above all with a respectable CGPA of 6.2... It was really unbelievable when i saw 8.9 SGPA in my 8th sem examination...
But this year was not all about these happy and successful moments but actually a very tragic or should i say the worst year of my life and in particular the date 11th August the day my Grandfather Sh. Lekh Raj gera passed away... If it would have been a natural death then i wont have written all this It was a shocking Accident...
I remember My grandfather once said "the day I'll die take my funeral with a band" and it was he only who made me so mature about this stage of life... and i always agreed to him about this that its a part of life everyone has to die some time or other but God not like this, he was so healthy so active and he brought happiness to so many with his yoga lessons...
I still believe he's still with me and because of him only i got placed and this CGPA...
"Daadu miss you lots...."
Moving ahead the last quarter of 2008 brought some very tough times for the entire world in the form of recession and everyone can still feel its impact...
But even in this tough time again thank to HCL for starting with our Japanese language training{as a part of their Japanese business program for which i was selected} on time.. Although its an unpaid training but i am happy i won't have to sit at home and wait for my joining!!!
More than that The terror Attack on Mumbai rather i should say on India gave big blow to the entire foundation of this country and made major impact on the heart and soul of every Indian...
I salute all the brave men who gave their lives to protect my fellow Indians... and personally i feel its not the time to sit back and show our Mumbaikar or Indian spirit that yes even after an attack we are back to our work and daily life, i feel its time to fight back not just with the external terrorist but with the terrorists inside our country and inside the system yes i mean the politicians who made this a war of words and played with our sentiments... Its time to ACT!!!
2008 came to an end with me being with my best buddies @ midnight for the first time and with a drink and an awesome dinner....
And in the end I'll thank my parents for being there always and for always supporting my over expensive lifestyle...
2009
I hope this year will bring some change to the global economic situation and i wish our politicians learn some leason from the death of so many innocents and will rise above this dirty politics...
I hope this year i start earning and can fulfill all my grandfather's wishes and also can help my parents..
Looking forward to a great 2009
and also
WISHING YOU ALL A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR....
May the year ahead brings peace prosperity health and happiness in everyone's life...
Sayonara friends OOPS... hum hain rahi pyar ke fir milenge chulte chulte!!
