Handshakes , Hi-fis and Hugs - Part II

MBA. SYMBIOSIS . HOSTEL . I still remember the month of April 15. Assignments. Tons of assignments and a virtual fb group enough to scare about the times to live in. A new sort of journey was about to start . Bhagwaan jaane kya hone wala tha. But something I knew would still be there. New people. New friendships to make. New relations that can hold you and lead you through atleast these 2 years. Belief and trust is what holds a friendship . Those two years had four semesters pattern in even these 2 things.   Who knew how many first Handshakes on first day of college were going to turn to Hugs on the final day of MBA . Nikhil urf CHAAVA - Introduced virtually via a common friend just a few weeks before joining college , he had instinctively become my go-to-person. 31st May'15 and he arrived just hours later to mine arrival. Handshake and a formal introduction  , and out we set for the longest time-taking walk to Mezza 9 ever . One of those having amazing clarity ...

The Way It Happened !!!

Sometime during August'15. Me : " Ae chal na... jau na apan kuthetari trip la. College nantar kadhich ekatra kuthe gelo nahiye. " She : " Haan chal jau." Me: " Kuthe jaycha? India ki India chya baher ? " She : " Baher jau . Thailand Singapore kuthetari" Me : " Chal. Me ready." That's precisely the START of Thai trip'16 for me. Date : 13th Feb 16.  Time : 6.45 am Whatsapp ping : Mom(chat) : Gm. Pochalat ka ??                                         Me : Gm. Ho Kaku. Me pochlo 2 hrs adhi. Dipty land jhali asel. Alyavar sangto ikde reply karayla.  And the very moment, she is standing in front of me.  That is the filmy START of the Thai trip for everyone  And the start also of a very fine 7 day tour with 3 very genuine friends. All of us Bhukkads for starters. That's the common trait which bonded us straightaway. I know . I am sp...

The multiple things 'L' stands for !!!

Place : 1053, Sector 39, Gurgoan         Sitting in the balcony of my place at Gurgaon  , as I think about the past 8-9 months of my stay at Gurgaon , I smile and feel low . A weird kind of feeling !!!         These Monday morning Conf calls , no team at office to hang out with on daily basis , no parties , lonely weekends at home , watching movies at theatres alone , roaming around Delhi monuments and places alone , trying out new food joints by myself ...  'L'ife took a 360 degree turn for me.          If I ask myself am I happy or satisfied with this part of life , mind would say 80% Yes and 20% No .          Loneliness is a bad ally and good teacher. It teaches you to be self- dependent , not only at carrying out physical activities and daily chores , but also to be self- dependent for happiness of self.         Going through those long weekends...

'H' - Day 2 !!!

And it's finally the first morning for all of us in the city of Paris. First morning of many sorts . And I should not mention what all. We all get fresh , and come down with our spouses to the common breakfast table in the Dining hall of the hotel. Everyone is seated besides their respective spouses. Bhagyashree is seated in front of Chinmay . Me in front of Dipty.  Ani comes late to the table as expected and as always. Rajas comes all set , bathed , blowdried and surya-namaskared. He sits with his NRI wife besides Chinmay , to make her feel at home. Chirag comes and seat on a chair , followed by Ashwini coming up and seating on his lap. She gets a bowl of chocos,  and starts feeding Chirag . Seeing this, Ani who had just started drinking Chai , spills out some ,seeing and laughing at Chirag, saying loudly " Chirag kay ek minute honeymoon cha vaaya ghalvat nahiye. Ajibaat aikat naay saheb . Ekdum joshaat. Full stamina .24*7" . At the same time , Chinmay...

U get what U wish !!!

Three weeks into Gurgaon . Stay each week at different place. Yet to find a permanent accomodation and yet to shift . Yet adjusting to new things.  Almost a new problem everyday . If nothing then the Airtel people are enough to raise a new one out here . First in MNP, which is yet to be resolved even after 18 days of application and 7 days of inactive sim.  How has Gurgaon been to me  ? Or perhaps you can ask how have been the times since I landed in Gurgaon been ?  Whether did I expect to be left stranded in the middle of the street at 11 pm with my luggage ( Yes , too filmy ) |  Or whether I would be left wanting for dinner at 10.45 pm expecting food outlets to be open at that hour of the evening ( Yes , only found a momo wala thela in the market open at that time) |  Or whether the broker wont dupe me of my money ( Even after wasting 2-3 days of my time behind him ) | Or after staying so many years in Mumbai , whether I would ...
