I was in a conversation with a friend and we were sharing our experiences from the past we just found out one thing... Life will never give a reason to smile. We need to find it and enjoy that very moment... We often complicate our lives running behind happiness / money / success and forget that its all right here... all we need to do is stop and live that very moment...
Many a times we think when we have money / success / power we might be happy. Its not true... We just need a good company / companion to be happy. Happiness never comes with conditions... If you are rich not necessarily you will be happy. Happiness connected with money / success and power is not actual happiness... its all materialistic happiness. life comes to us in phases and so does these three things...
Money comes and goes... never stays with you... you cannot buy happiness
Success comes and after some time it fades...
Power... ha ha ha - can power get you happiness... Never
We often get clouded with these things and forget there is one thing for sure that will get us happiness....
Family and Friends...
Whats the money for of you cannot spend it on your own people.
Whats the success for if you cannot share it with your family and friends.
You might be the most powerful person on earth.. what if you dont have family and friends.... u r alone...
Our urge to be on the top and taking shortcuts for the same never works. One thing i've learnt in my life is that... there is no shortcut to success... Shortcuts are for weak characters... they are lazy bums... who dont want to rough it out.
People who reach to the top with out hardwork never get the taste of success... people who get things without struggle never know the value of the same.
The taste of success is very sweet and nice. I have tasted it many a times... I could enjoy the taste the success cos i've tasted failures... maybe more failures than success...
I was talking to one of my elders in family today. She was like i'm sick and tired of being strong. I want to relax. she is in late 60's i can understand...
Me and my friend were talking on the phone y'day and we were saying the same to each other... I'm tired of being strong and all the fight we have given so far to reach here... Our age 24-25... ha ha ha
While talking to her i shared with her about something bad that happened last week. All the time she was thinking that it might have happened last year... when she came to know that it was as recent as last week she was surprised. She was like but "i could never make out looking at you that anything like this could have happened". ha ha ha...
Well one of the things that i learnt from my boss - my guru is to wear a smile. It just masks everything. No one will ever be able to make out what u might be thinking or going thru... ;)
The whole world does not need to know about it as well. It goes without saying that you need to know where to smile and where not to... ;)
Life for some is a cake walk and for some its a battle...
In a battle - you win or you die or maybe you surrender....
Its been a battle of different kind for me all the time... Fighting all odds... I was pushed into this battle at a very young age... I have been in this battle for quiet some time now... I lost sometimes but i never turned my back at it nor did i agree to surrender...
Fortunately todays battles dont come with options (die/surrender)... These options are for weak characters...
We live to see and enjoy our Victory!
WE FIGHT UNTILL WE WIN!
Smile when you loose, Smile when you win!
KEEP SMILING! BE HAPPY!

15th April - The Devil's Birthday!
It was my B'day and when i woke up i discovered that i have some 30 odd missed calls on my cell phone and some 10 messages. So called everyone back and got their wishes... The next thing in my mind was... what should i be doing today??? I had a reason to celebrate... I wanted to do something good and nice today. :D
Unfortunately all my friends were out of Bangalore. Some school buddies are busy with office work and family, my night shift buddies were still sleeping from last night... and my colleagues are busy too... :(
As such mere liye ghar me rehna kitna mushkil hai weekend pe... somehow i just cannot stay at home. even in Delhi my parents and me used to have a difference of opinion on this :(
So while going thru the my phone book i found a number of a friend and messaged her what time she would get free. She replied that she is done with her work today... (i.e. darti ke chakker katna) he he he.. and was free for the day. I asked her out and we decided to meet for lunch. We went to a nice restaurant. Fortunately both of us a non-vegetarian foodies so it was good. The kebabs were AWESOME and so was the rest of the meal. My mouth started watering now just by the thought of those Kebabs.... yum....
After the lunch we spoke for quiet some time. We had already booked ourselves for a movie so we went to see a movie too... I got the tickets in the last row just an hour ahead of the movie time... so both of us did not know if this is going to be a good one. "life mein kabhi kabhi" that was the movie. It was a Pakao movie and at some time or the other she used to say sorry for getting me in this one... ha ha ha well it was our mutual decision....
The movie story was very true to life... but the way it was presented was not good enough...
I don't know this girl for long. Met her recently. When i met her initially i had never thought that we will be good friends. I'm so glad that we are good friends now and we can count on each other anytime... Her company was good and it was fun. She made my day... She is the bubbly, chirpy types... a good friend... well she asked me to write good about her so I'm... ha ha ha
Jokes apart... she is a really nice person and a caring friend... Thank you Friend!
The evening was not that exciting... but it was relaxing. I was at home with family and it was nice and relaxing. Though i had a dinner party planned but i thought of giving some time to my family and cancelled the party.
All in all it was a very good day. Thank you to my friend who spend her valuable time making my day and thanks to everyone who wished me... and also thanks in advance to those who forgot to wish me.... he he he coz i know when they will.. they will wish me saying this is in advance for the next year. ha ha ha
Just wanted to let all my family and friends know that u guys are the best...
I appreciate your patience as I know how difficult it is to listen to me all the time... ha ha ha
Thank you! God Bless!

Night Shift Buddies!
Me and some of my friends are in the Night shift so our day starts ideally at 7:00pm IST. We sit and talk for a couple of hours deciding on what to do and where to go. By the time the decision is made it about 9:00pm and that is the time when we feel like going out of the house and to a nice restaurant for a meal (we dont know what to call it... b'fast, lunch or dinner) This is the only proper meal we have.
So it was my B'day on the 15th and me and my friends started celebrating from 14th night itself. We had just one motor bike that day and the three of us were not in a mood to take chances... as such the cops in bangalore are alert on the weekends... so we decided to go to a restaurant that is close by and went to the Royal Orchid hotel. Its a real nice one. It has a 24hrs Coffee shop and we just went and sat in one of the wooden huts in the lawns. The ambience around was great. There was dinner buffet and my friend decided to take the buffet dinner instead of starters. We thought it would be good as we can have unlimited quantity. ha ha ha
Unfortunately for us there was nothing tandoori etc. in the buffet. There was variety of things but nothing that was up to our taste. So finally we got the papdi and some curds and made chat of it... and our dinner was just that. I dont remember how much of that papdi chat we had.... lol
We had lots of fun but the only thing that we did not like was the food and we could not help it at all. Maybe we were at a wrong place.... ha ha ha
So we spent the whole evening there and we came to Diamond District and then as soon as it was 12am. my friends lifted me and then put me down in the middle of the street... then they jumped on me and wished me Happy B'day! he he he this is the way we wish our friends. Ashu.. ur b'day is also coming... and i'm waiting for it ;)
I was back home by 12:45. I got a few calls from my family and friends wishing and blessing me on my b'day.

Not one of the best evenings... cos we did not like the food.
But spending time with these night shift buddies was great. Thank you guys!
