Book Reading results in… writing!!!

It’s been a year since I read a book or feel like reading one. I feel really bored when I travel alone from Delhi to Hyd, unless I find some interesting (****) passengers by my side. I was given a book by my friend to read..(I refused initially) through my journey.

I felt reading a book is a boring as waiting till 6’o clock to leave the office..But some say that it’s as exciting as waiting for your salary to be credited to your account over the month end….(Mind blowing analogy na ?? )..

The book was titled ‘The 3 Mistakes of My life’ by..Chetan Bhagat. The cover page with three guys (Yuva Pose) with bails on their top..has something to say about their story…..

This is probably the first book I read from beginning till the end..

(My College Professors may be happy knowing that I finally read a book)

I knew Chetan was the Author of “Five Point Someone” .(which I incidentally read on my return journey,my second book of course)..But I found his latest book more interesting than his debut ‘Five Point Someone’. I first thought ,how come a studious guy from IIT & IIM can write a book on sensitive issues (At least in India) like Cricket and Religion.Chetan, I think, was successful in maintaining balance between the two with a perfect mixture of business..

It may be Ishaan’s Commitment as a coach,Omi’s over enthusiasm or Govind’s world of maths…Every thing was perfect in their own way..

There are some excellent quotes right from ‘acknowledgements’ page ..few are quoted below,..,

· ‘Admiration Passes Love Endures’

· ‘There are advantages of having an intelligent wife, I could never be a detective’

· ‘More Hindu kids sleep hungry every night than Muslim, but they say Muslims are downtrodden’.

The Earthquake of Kutch,India-Aus Cricket match at the Eden Gardens or the Godhra Attack…all are rightly described in the context of the Story..

It becomes a boring iniatilly..but author injects interest through ‘Vidya’.I bet most of you will i agree that.I found this book better than ‘Five point someone’,may be Vidya’s character is much more interesting than Neha’s or may be because it has some interesting aspects like maths and Cricket, because with Cricket, Life is the second priority,.

Overall it is a sensitive & thought provoking book, you may not get enlightened but you definitely Think!!

Lyf in Corporate jungle....

I reached home half past midnight yesterday..not because of a late night show nor partying at the famous metro pub..but from my office!!!Meals was ready at home but Pizzas in my stomach never allowed me to eat,it was 2am and i thought of taking leave that day॥it was a very peaceful sleep i had in many months here..A couple of hours later, my mobile rang with a pleasant ringtone..guess what!!My boss' call as if it was my alarm!!With hardly 5 hrs sleep i rushed to the office to get the work done!!sometimes i wonder whether i am in Police Dept. or what!!

Nothing suits me here...neither my boss' funny face nor the office clock(Which always seem to be very slow than usual),even the girl next to me isn't that interesting (@#$ %)..

(of course i take this word back on a 'friday'.. :-))

Thank god that the coffee machine 'at a distance' which eats about 2hrs a day..a place u really feel relaxed ..of course there is colourful place ..Cafeteria..Although the price of fresh pastries (which are two days old) is a bit high,i never worry as i have a very gud collection of credit cards of various banks ;-)... with little fun and loads of work..(don't ask what? even i m confused) lyf goes on as a 'Roller coaster' (when it is steady!) ..my mom once said, 'बेटा तू बड़ा होके अच्छा नाम कमा... .' shayad isi liye i m not earning(money) much :-) ..well jokes apart(par maine kab mazak kiya ??) the time comes when u need to deliver ur project on time and u r not done with it ( the reason is i write such stupid blogs in office ..)..then begins a new face (rather phase) ,hangover without being drunk,eyes turn red,hair (on head of course!! ) starts shedding॥and to make the situation even worse,when u reach home sometime in the midnight,u find the gate locked inside!!

ye bhi koi life hai!!!

guys!! What say??
