2 years and Counting......


Guys it’s been two years for this young keyboard player (my term for s/w developer) surviving in the IT industry. These two years had some beautiful moments to cherish and some embarrassing moments to regret. From the ‘firing flu’ at the beginning of my career to swine flue to the latest, this has been a wonderful journey.

I have spent most of this period in Gurgaon.Visited (rather stayed in) North-India for the first time. This helped me visiting some of the beautiful places on earth. From hill stations to plains, river basins to deserts, holy shrines to huge palaces….

This short career till date was a very satisfactory one working with a very good team. I made some intelligent friends and beautiful ‘friende’s. I always wanted to do something naughty other than key strokes and mouse-clicks. From re-imbursements for non-existent expenses to booking office cabs for Delhi darshan, from visiting Malls during office hours to downloading movies using office broadband .All these are un-official, yet adventurous, strict violations but calculated risks.

I am in Pune these days and breathing air J … (doing nothing important than this)
To be working in a leading MNC was an achievement then, always wanted to be “one in a million” keyboard players, ironically during this period the word ‘in’ changed to ‘among’.

(  All I knew about preposition was that it is one of the Parts of Speech in English Grammar. Now I understand that they are part of our lives too... Prepositions do make a difference!!  ).

Today, the path on which I am is a straight and smooth one. I could see a junction ahead from where I wish to take right. If nothing goes right, I will go straight!!

And "they" lived happily together


Many love stories begin in a train…….


Not very often one finds a beautiful passenger by his side during long journeys.

Incidentally (I wish I could use ‘fortunately’), I found one...

A masked woman with white top over blue jeans sat by my side. Her hair covered her ears but not her long ear rings with blue emeralds and a small ruby. Those sparkling ear rings looked like she hung a dozen stars down her ears. She was the only one wearing a mask (swine effect) in the entire compartment, being odd she removed the mask.

Her cute smile, sparkling eyes, shining skin were very similar to the dream girl I was waiting for. Is this one of my many crushes or is this love, yet again??

Our conversation started when “chai waala” asked us to share the change for the amount we paid for Tea. She smiled at me and my smile was on its way before that….During our conversation I discovered that she is pursuing MBA from a reputed college in Pune.

She has a younger brother in Hyderabad who works for the same firm in which i do.

That was a wonderful journey and wished this journey should go for few more years.

That was never gonna happen.

The next morning, it was time to reach Hyd.We exchanged out phone numbers, hoping to get in contact again. When the train reached the station, she was received by a young man who I thought was her brother. I went to her to say Goodbye. She smiled and introduced me to that person

“He is Pranav, My husband!!” she said.


…… and most of them end there as well.


Hamare naseeb mein woh nahi tho hame koi gham nahi..

be-naseeeb tho woh hai jinke naseeb mein ham nahi….
