Most happiest person around you?

Before you start reading, you must think of the most happiest person around you?

To start with, an IT professional, who is now working from home peacefully, but always, has a lot of pressure of deadlines, etc. Working day and night to get good appraisal/hike. Always seek a better carrer option, hence never satisfied/happy in his/her career span.

A home maker is always sound not so happy. A business person is also stuck in managing expenses vs his profits. A student is tensed with the exams, test, etc. A vegetable seller on hand drawn cart wish for a regular vegetable shop. A shop owner thinks of a big showroom. The desires and wishes are endless for each one of us.  

The most popular saying about happiness is that the person who has all the things he/she desires is the most happy person. In this materialistic world, "all the things" precisely means Money, Big House, Big Car and other luxury. 

But, now look at the other end. The most richest person may still not be happy. The most successful celebrity also may not qualified as the most happiest person. The most renowned scientist would also be left with many unproven theories, and hence not happy. 

In my opinion, a person who looks like the most happiest person and would also be really happy.. is a Digambar Jain Muni. He has left his house, family, cloths, etc. And still he looks so calm and peaceful. He is left with no materialistic desires. The feeling of happiness comes from leaving things, rather than chasing & achieving them.

All the Jain Tirthankars were once a ultra super rich personalities. They felt that all their belongings are of no use and left the worldly desires. So, either we get all the things we want and then realize that it is not giving me any happiness and leave all of it. Or we read, see, watch and understand what has happened with the people who always wanted more. Is there any end?

This is true that not all of us can become Muni or Sadhu, but the point here is that the increasing desires restricts our happiness. And feeling satisfied in what we have makes our will strong. Now you only decide where the real happiness lies ?

learn from others.. thats what i think [part - 3]

I started this series of post on 27th oct'07 when we all were in final year. And its been more than one n half year and I am yet to cover all of us.. ufff.. see how lazy i am.. ;)

continuing with the part -2...

Inside of G-207, u can find Anurag Mehrotra, but never his roomie Abhishek Minni.. better call him Minni..(otherwise ppl may ask "Abhishek"..wo kahan tah 207 me??).. It wasnt like that you can't find Minni anywhere.. So, u could find him anywhere but HIS OWN ROOM.. :D
Just one word describes him all.. DILDAAR.. that is one of best feature a social human being could have.. Highly dedicated in studies, Minni couldn't resist when someone asked him for a favour.. Everything for a gud friend.. thats how I could describe him, and I really liked his this characteristic..

Moving to G-210, there we had a kid and a cool guy..
First, the cool guy Arijit Chaudhary or Ari, a football freak.. his inspiring part is the coolness.. it isn't easy to make Ari tensed by anything..by anything i mean anything.. a hard working person but only during exam time and just before project deadlines.. the best part in him was his ability to remain calm and cool.

Prakhar Kant Jain or better call him by his more popular name, Baby.. When we saw him for the first few months, everyone of us thought that he looks like a baby, he behaves like a baby, so we all started calling him baby.. but, later on we realized the mistake we did by giving him that name.. :(
He can possibly convience anyone, doesnt matter wheather he is right or not.. sometimes by giving arguments, i.e. HIS WIN.. rest of the times, making the other person quit, i.e. OPPONENT LOOSES.. few times the opponent use to think that..ab yeh manega to hai nahi, chodo jane do..
the creative part of Baby was really inspiring for me.. with all the sincerity, dedication and hard work, we even participated during the whole B.Tech.
There are 2 ways to see a object, one is the designer's view and the other is how the rest of the world watch it!!

For the rooms on the opposite side, i will prefer to move in the decreasing order..
First of all, G-220.. Ankur or खां साहब (khnaa sahab).. I am just remembering the wall on his bed side.. aaaaaaaaaaaahhh.. :) I just loved them all!!
His favourate past-time is BAKAR-BAJI.. a dedicated, sincere and NEVER-MISSES-A-BAKAR-SABHA member of the bakar-sabha.. a very simple person by heart.. but, when it comes to show his creativity along with his roomie's creativity... a bad-combo.. (from the vicitim's point of view).. The whole batch knew him, basically, he is a very social person.. keeps in touch with almost everyone.. KHNAA SAHAB is popular among everone..
When it came to BOY-GIRL topic discussion, he was at the opposite end of Dukhi.. Our life is ours, why we give any girl this much freedom that she could easily ruin all our life, she could remove the HAPPY PART from our life.. thats really true... now even I think the same.. (he never said this, but i knew this about him very well).

Enough for today.. will continue it soon and possibly finish it up next time..

eVerYthInG hApPenS f0r gOOd..??

I have a great faith in this statement....still, I just think that.. is the fate has the power, to let me think over it again..
there is this thing called aim, which is what we hope to be our destiny.. due to this thing aim, life orders us to move on, keep on working..while on our way to destiny, somtimes things work out..sometimes they don't..n we meet this very strong character called fate.. with the power which could move the world upside down..
every single person/object seems to be a slave of this character..it controls each and every mechanical part of this gigantic machine called universe..

So, when we feel happy.. we can say this character seems to be not monitoring us..as it oviously as billions-trllions-zillions of task to do every fero-pico-nano seconds.. ;)
or it might just not want us to bounded by him for some duration of time..and then, he catches us again.. :(

whatever the reason is.. I just feel whatever has happened, happened for good..whatever is currently happening, is happening for good.. but, this character fate is somebody who could possibly change my views on this..

'everthing happens for good' is basically.. a postive mindset towards seeing the end result, when we reach the end of the path which we took while heading towards the thing aim. Destiny and aim, both we actually always tries to connect.. but, that strong character keep these two things at opposite pole of a sphere..

in this gigantic machine universe, the thing aim moves us from parts to parts of this machine.. we actually might want to go somewhere else, but the strong character THE BOSS.. fate is a really the boss..

learn from others.. thats what i think [part -2]

After hearing from many of you that you people are waiting for the 'part -2'.. I decided to continue it.. Even though, its been 8 month, since we left our college campus, now I might not recollect all the qualities of each one of you..still, I will try my best to not to miss any.


In part -1, I started from G-201 and covered till G-204.. Oh, now its my room no.'s no. G-205...
So, next comes my roomie, Laxit... everyone knows.. he is a real genius.. that is reason why many of batchmates were jealous of him.. For him, books were supposed to be opened just a day or two before the exams, and he still managed to get much better score than most of us. He never compromised on gaming, whether it's a comp game {AOE, FIFA} or some real games, {Basketball, T.T.} ... doesnt matter. He always had TIME..And when it came to watch movies, series.. i know and even you people know, no one could beat him.. All this doesnt mean, that he wasnt hard working or anything, when it came to hard working, He is even much better in that..
the only condition is that he need to have a intrest in that course/part of course. I remember his dedication in a few courses like DCP, when he was even more sincere than Sid n chachcha. And how could we forget about the codes that he wrote and modified for us, which none of us could even understand(remember OS lab assignments)... :P
Even when there was a exam on next morning(even on the time of MOC, SP exam), he opens the book for the first time and he still preffered to read chapter by chapter in depth, may be that is what the reason I think of behind his doing well in exams.. He is very calm even in such situation. His many such made me a fan of him.


Skipping the balcony part and jumping to the room, which lies in the other half of the wing, room no. G-206.. First meet Abhishek Chaturvedi, have you heard this name before?
No na... i knew.. {Waise bhi, we had 6 Abhishek in our batch.} So, I better write his more cutter name, Chachcha.. He, according to me, can be a good synonum for Studious person. Many of us were depedent on him for his class notes { Sach me chachcha, kya sahi notes banate ho yaar}.
As i know, he was the only person..who finished his exam preparation atleast a day or two before the exam date {Ya, just opposite to Laxit, in this sense..but, still both managed to get a camparable scores}.. His sincerity, dedication..always made me think.. it not that difficult to be such person in school days, but in college days..it's really a big challenge..
I really appreciate his studiousness and hope that may be I could have his this quality in myself.


Roomie of Abhishek, Anand Thakur.. or some people say.. Roshan Thakur.. no matter what the world says, for us he will be Thakur Sahab only. When it comes to sincerity, there is Chachcha and when it comes to hard-work, its his roomie.. Thakur Sahab. Both of them were like the 'fodu-roomies' pair.. Thakur Sahab always worked hard in each and every course, no matter the luck is with him or not, while getting the score..he always kept his spirits high.. I learned from him that, NO MATTER WHAT RESULT YOU GET, NEVER COMPROMISE ON HARD WORK..


G-207 accomodated 1 sukhi person and 1 dukhi person.. {i dont feel like giving any explanation to this}.

Anurag Mehrotra..always, aiming high.. thinking of future.. planing of doing something out-of-box.. The part which I really like in him, is his patience.. no matter what people are saying, he never gets angry.. If you are trying to pull his leg, he will start pulling your's.. yeh alag baat hai ki he never succeeds. But, being in a company of friend.. if you are making fun of others, you have to have the courage to face the fact the people will definately make fun of you one day or the other.. He knows his very well..

This part of the blog already looks lengthy enough, forcing me to stop here..

to be continued...

traffic in Indore...

...is all about surprises and un-commonsense.. the new definition that I worked out a few days ago, when I was coming home from Palasia. The day and traffic was very normal, everybody on road irritated by the dust, most of which was generated due to the construction of road everywhere..which had been under construction since ages.. :D
Only god knows, will it ever get complete???????

Hmmm.. returning back to my new definition... the first highlighted word SURPRISES came into my mind a thousand of times, while driving when a guy on 2-wheeler just came ahead of me, no body can find out from where this guy came, and many of times there are high chances of occurring of an accident.. so this falling of a vehicle from sky is a kind of surprise that I find here. Even if you are driving safely, at any instant someone might just come and if your hand/leg isn't on the brake, then you are gone.. :P

the second word is something which even many of the intelligent people might not agree with..because they aren't aware that, however they are intelligent and they
applies there commonsense everywhere..but, not while driving..
It's something which is totally indifferent in every kind of people, either a person is highly civilized or a person from slum, everyone is in hurry..and to rush in hurry they forgets to use their commonsense in hurry and rest left is all un-commonsense.. ;)
which gives rise to the CHAOS TRAFFIC..
thats it!!

farewell from DAIICT

friday, 4th of april 2008.. we all got farewell party, which was the first indication that we are supposed to leave this campus very soon.. most of us don't even know where all these days gone.. and how fast we became engineers.. i remember my first day in DAIICT... new campus.. surrounded by strangers, a few batchmates..and so many seniors.. from whom you always have to keep distance..i always feared to go into those A, B, C, D wings after i had a PDP in one of those wings.. and i still feel a sense of fear while moving in the corridorsof those wings..even though we are all super-duper seniors.. but, still it all looks like.. all that PDP happened just a few days ago..
and I am new to this campus.. don't know when 3 batches left the college and 3 new batches came..

when i look at my room carefully.. i just can't imagine that i've spend 3 and half years in this room.. and soon i'll have to leave it.. i guess my roomie says right.. that when we will be leaving the campus, after that only we all will get a feeling that we are really leaving the college.. i guess it will happen when we will be crossing the main gate..


point is not that we realize it or not that we are leaving this place..our graduation is done.. but, what i think is that are we really ready to move in the industry.. those of us who are going for higher studies.. MS or MBA..they might not feel any difference.. but, those of us who are not.. like me.. are might not be mentally prepared for it, as think i am not.. :S
many people i know just wanted to pursue MBA right after the graduation just because they didn't wanted to see their college life coming to an end and they seemed this as one of the way, by which they could save themselves from being going to IT industry.. ;)

elders always reminds us that these colleges days will be your best days in lifetime.. you will not forget these days.. yaar, i know it..but, what to do.. how to make it more memorable.. i don't know.. or what else could be done... time is not controlled by me.. :(

now, just about a month is remaining and i just wish i enjoy each and every moment of this last month.. doing things which i might not be able to do after college days.. :)
So, I just keep telling myself.. thats it.. golden days are almost over.. very less days are there.. make most of it.. Soon, I will be fare-welled along with other batchmates to another world.. :S

Jeevandaan..

Just some days back, i experienced one of those days which I may forget in my whole life..

Same kind of thing happened with me some 11-12 years ago, when I went to my mama's wedding, my mother's cousin, in Bhind. Bhind which is just 20 kms away from Chambal River, famous for bandits. That day was a good mahurat for weddings, so there were many marriages going on in that city on that day, many baraats were moving simultaneously all around the city... Our baraat was passing another baraat which was moving in opposite direction.. everything was just ok..everybody was dancing..enjoying those moments..i was also moving with my nanaji with my hand in his..then all of a sudden something happened.. don't know exactly why it started and who started it.. some people from other baraat started hitting people of our baraat.. Those days people usually carried a few guns with them at the wedding time.. just to fire in the air, to feel proud and show their power.. So, when fight started, those people took out their guns and stated firing and throwing stones towards us..Everybody started running here and there.. And I don't know when I got away from my nanaji and all other people I knew there..all alone with some strangers, which I realized later that those were in our baraat only..there was a construction work was going on near to that place and people around me started moving toward that building to find some place to hide..and I also started moving with those people.. I ran..kept running till the noise of the guns and people could not be heard anymore.. And then with the help of one uncle in that group I managed to reach to my mama's house..
When I think of that day, one thought comes to my mind.. It was kind of a Jeevandaan and I will never forget that day..

When similar kind of incident happened with me, I thought of writing a blog.. it happened some 10-12 days back.. I went to Ahmedabad with two friends.. We did some shopping and walked a lot.. And then came to bus stand to get a transport to reach Gandhinagar.. I guess it was one of those unlucky day when Murphy's rule applies at its best.. suppose you are waiting for bus, you will notice that there are NO buses moving on your route, but there are many buses moving in the other direction.. So, that was that day.. :S
We kept waiting..waiting and waiting.. and there was no sign of bus.. and then a van came, one friend denied to go by that van, as it is always risky to travel in LPG vehicles.. so we decided not to go by it.. that van just moved a little bit and kept waiting for passengers.. after 5, 10 minutes..that same van moved backwards and asked us again.. by that time we were getting a little frustrated because of waiting for a long time for bus, so we decided to go by that van.. gandhinagar is just 25 kms from that place.. The van started moving..inside that van..we all could smell the LPG gas.. we thought that may be it is a usual thing in LPG vehicles.. we traveled some 10-12 kms.. by that time one friend started feeling a headache due to that gas smell.. Till this time everything was just normal in that van.. three of us were sitting on one side..and three people were sitting opposite to us..man opposite to me was talking to phone since he entered the van.. some stupid music was playing that time..I saw driver bending down and doing something near to the gear stick.. I thought may be he is trying to put on the radio..then he stopped the van near by the road.. I thought that may be he couldn't do it while moving..so he has stopped to turn on the radio.. but then he switched off the ignition of the car.. he kept doing something.. some seconds laster.. hardly 8-10 seconds had passed.. i asked the driver that what has happened.. and then after 2-3 seconds, I heard a word "aag" in a very very low voice... I don't know, who said it.. (later, I came to know that my friends didn't heard that word..) and then all of a sudden..driver opened his gate..the man sitting behind him opened his door.. man sitting opposite to me, still talking on the phone, opened ours door.. but, the man sitting opposite to my friend tried to open his gate, opposite to ours, but he couldn't.. all started running out to get away from the car.. the man opposite to me got outside, he moved to some distance from the car, still talking on phone..(i don't know how he could still manage to talk on the phone..because the first thing came to my mind was a BLAST..as we see in the movies.. blast in car.. then car jumping in the air..all that crap.. :S ) .. So, after that person I got outside, I started running, with my legs shaking heavily..I managed to reach to some distance away from the car...then stopped and turned around..and saw the two friends coming near to me..we all were too shocked by this incident.. Nobody knew what has happened in that car.. We just wanted to get away as soon as we could.. and we managed to get an auto rikshaw to get back to college..
Fortunately, nothing happened to that car in front of us.. No idea what had happened after we left.. Till the time we reached college, we kept laughing at what had happened with us and each one of us telling our own experience of those moments...then I came to know that my friend's experience was much more horrible than mine.. from the time when I heard the word "aag" in the van, till the time when i got out, started running away from van..then stopped and turned away, saw my friends.. their experience was totally different.. actually, as they didn't heard the word "aag", so when everybody started moving out in a rush, both of them couldn't figure out, what was happening.. when some of people got out, one friend saw some smoke coming out near to the gear stick, thats when he realized that something was wrong, his legs started trembling..as his side door had not been by the person sitting opposite to him.they came out from the opposite door and .these two people were the last two coming out of van.. so they had much horror of getting stuck.. fortunately, nothing happened.. but I again realized that this was my second Jeevandaan".. the god has saved my life again.. and I will never forget this day..
