Wondering why i wrote #weekend!!! Well this post is about this weekend, A truly amazing weekend and usually i don’t need a blog post to describe a weekend because my regular twitter updates would have done the same thing. But the weekend was so amazing that i didn’t even got the chance to post updates to my twitter!!!

When on Friday night i tweeted about the weekend using tags #weekend and asked everyone what are there plans to make this weekend amazing, I never imagined that even I’ll have such a great weekend!!

Well before i begin to describe it, there are three people who made it possible and they are Rishabh {Richi}, Vinodini {Vinni} and Vipul {Gifty} , Wondering why i didn’t wrote the names of my best friends Moushmi and sahil well you’ll know..

There a saying that “you get to know the true worth of someone when that someone is not with you”. To an extent that is the case here…

Me, Sahil and Moush were together last weekend also and it was also good but there was a certain something missing.. Yes our fourth musketeer Vinni!!

But we all knew this weekend is going to be special as Vinni was here in Delhi!! There was another reason too, my wait for an external hard disc was also going to get over because my dear friend Richi agreed to accompany me to Nehru place on Saturday!!

Finally the day i was waiting for came Saturday -

The day started on a lil bad note as vinni was not feeling well and without her there wouldn’t have been anything that i would have got to write here but hey i am writing that means things went great!!!

But as she and sahil had to appear for a stupid test, they arrived at my place for lunch and with both of them around, my lil silent and dull home turned into a place full of laughter and music!! Everytime vinni said i don’t feel like going for the test, i felt that its where my weekend ends because she’s not well but when they both left for the test and she felt a lil better, i knew we gonna have a rocking time!!!

After the left, It was time to visit Nehru place but only if Richi would pick my calls, Damm whats he doing, why is he not picking up my calls that’s what i was saying at that time but when i saw his Pic on my cell, It was time to rock!!

I left for Nehru place not on my car but by bus, wondering why!!

Well there are three reasons why i don’t use my car in Delhi and keep it just for going to HCL Noida for my Unpaid Japanese language training classes :-

• I still don’t know the routes and am still very confused with All the rings and multi level roads of Delhi and i really dont like when i  have to drive for another 5Kms just because i missed a turn!!
• Delhi mein kisika Dharam Imaan hi nhin hai on road!! Man!! why is it that people keep moving even when the Traffic light turns to red and when there’s a green light nobody can  move because the other side wont stop moving !!
• I am really pissed off because either you find N no of speed breakers on roads here or when you have a good road the traffic won’t let you move!! and what to say bout the Parking problems!!

Anyways back to the Main topic, I waited for almost half an hour for the AC 543 bus but had to settle for the Non AC Green colored new bus, it was a comfortable journey and when i entered the Great Nehru Place market with Richi {who BTW came in his Brand New White beauty i10}.. Man!! its an amazing place or i should say paradise for Tech Savvy People like me!!

The Most amazing thing was people shouting “Ayeee softwarree Gamess lelo!!” , As if they were selling vegetables, also it was amazing to see small vendors sitting on floar outside with old motherboards chargers and keyboards and other stuff  I can never forget that i swear…

After asking for rates at a few places i settled for the Foll.

• 320GB Western Digital My passport Ext Hard disc  —- Rs. 3400/
• Samsung DL DVD Writer {Boxed}  —  Rs. 1100/
• Kingston 2GB Micro SD card for my cell — Rs. 300/
• Total — 4800 {Everything under $100 – My first AdSense earnings}

McDonald’s McChicken meal for both of us before bidding Good Bye to this Great Place!!!

I don’t think that the return Journey is worth mentioning, well again i waited for the AC 543 but my Bad luck again not just i didn’t got the AC one i didn’t even got the Green New bus or any other DTC bus even after waiting for 30 Mins in extreme Heat and finally had to settle for over crowded Blue Line Bus!! but just the thought of  Going Home and opening all these things gave me the energy to survive the Torture of that Bus!!

As soon as i reached home All three of my best Buddies sahil, Moush and Vinni were waiting for outside.. and after i entered It was sahil who took the Poly bag from me and opened up everything!!

But as everyone was getting so late i had to stop Installing the DVD Writer and had to leave to Drop Vinni , Followed by Dinner @ Bite In ~ shipra Mall.. It was fun to Grab a table and Arrange for 3 chairs while everyone who came before us were still waiting to get a place!! The dinner with Sahil and Moush was simply amazing!!

It was time now to drop Moush, Leaving the two of us alone with our Plan to Drink together after a long time!! Damm these liquor vends in Delhi Close at 10PM and it was now 10:45 we checked every damm place we could get a bottle but all of them had just 3 cheap brand that at least I would never like to sip!!

Anyways Back home, badly tired both of  us  just went to sleep!!

Yessssss Its Sunday!!!

The four of us again got together and headed straight to GIP!! Yess it was Bowling time – something that the four us were doing for the first time!!

Man!! Its the most amazing thing i did this weekend , Its really a great Fun!! 1st Game the four of us 20 shots each!! Result Tie between me and sahil – 76 points

2nd game – Tie Breaker – I won yeehhhhh for the first time i actually won in a game and that too against the mighty Sahil!!!

Seriously amazing Fun!! And OMG!! where did all the time go!! It was coming close to the Moush had to get back!! So Last stop Nirula’s!! Its always fun when the four of us get together to have something to eat as its one of the many common things we Love Having some amazing Food!!

Well we said Bye to Moush after that, we headed back to my place, and oh yeahh me n vinni both bought a new novel on way back!! Back home, waiting for Our Coll. friend gifty to arrive, it was catching up time and Time actually flies when we are together, and nothing can compare the fun, the talks and laughter that we have when we are together!!

After Gifty came, there was hardly a lil time we had, and it was now time to drop Vinni and to help gifty shift his stuff from his PG to Gurgaon Via my place where my great lazy bro sahil was resting and watching Sri V/S Pak!!!

Gifty came just for a lil while but its always awesome to be with old friends especially those with whom you have spent four beautiful years of your Coll. life and its always fun to make Maggi just like coll. days to share it with friends!!

And finally after they both left for gurgaon living me all alone with all the beautiful memories i thought about writing this post!!

And like i always say don’t let your thoughts go waste so here it is my post about the Awesome #weekend!!

I don’t know how many of you will consider this Awesome but trust me guys these two days mean a lot to me especially after yet another week of boring Japanese Classes!!!

There are a lot of feelings and emotions attached with everything i wrote above and some of which can never be expressed in words, The bond of friendship that we share is the most special thing that ever happened to me!! The time we spend together is the best time of my life!! The things we do, even the smallest and the most simplest of things done with your friends are always so special and memorable!!!

P.S :-

• My apologies to all Delhi’tes for writing stuff about the roads and traffic and driving sense, But what can i do i come from the city beautiful Chandigarh, where things are planned roads are well maintained and traffic is well regulated and people are patient enough to wait for a few mins at traffic lights!!!
• The two things that we wanted to do but couldn’t do are :-

Sahil and my plan to Drink  Teacher’s Together {Sahil Maybe Next weekend}

Kala Khata Chuski that all of wanted to have but couldn’t find it anywhere {Well Vinni I’ll definitely search for it in Yellow pages so that next time you come we can definitely have it}

Well when it comes to writing about the moments that I share with my Friends, I can just go on and on but I’ll have to stop here as its 1Am and i have a class tomorrow morning!!

Do give your comments!!

Yes you read it right i am figuring out what friendship is. All my previous posts are about love and life but for the first time a post about friendship and not just some ordinary post a post that seeks to know what is FRIENDSHIP.

I know all of you must be thinking how can i ask what friendship is when i am the one who keeps on saying it the best relationship we have on earth, Its something more than love even right?

Well a recent incident just made me think a lot about it, so when you talk about a friend does that mean someone who knows all about you, who’s always there for you and you say that you know each other so well that anything that on friend does can never make the other friend go mad…

Well think over it again… and think about the times when you do something and get scolded by your best friend that this is wrong, you shouldn’t have done that or don’t do this and stuff and then one day your friend does the same thing…

Remember the times when your friend does something and you get irritated and they’ll tell you to be a sport and when one day you do something and they get mad, i wonder now where did that mantra they used to keep telling you “Be a sport”

Still the same question what exactly is friendship..  its nothing but shit!!!

Does friendship means you throw a glass full of ice tea on your friends face, when he has done nothing…  well yes you can but only if you can throw it and sit there and laugh over it, that’s called being a sport and not that you throw it and then you walk away making a mockery of your dearest friend in front of  total strangers who will start looking at you as if you have done a blunder…

Whatever it is, friendship doesn’t give  anyone the  right to make such a fun of  me in public… and i don’t care how close you are to me i don’t take shit from any one…

I am sorry but You can’t just do something like this and say sorry and blame it on some reason that even you are not bothered about…

Friendship is still a beautiful word but not that good of a relation, even if it is I DON’T GIVE A DAMM!!!

P.S:- Now don’t just fill up the comments section with essay’s about friendship, Theoretically its really a very precious relation because people can write books and make 10 bloody seasons of  TV shows and earn millions.. Be realistic and write practically..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

UPDATE:- When i say that words have power i really mean it, and its not that only a selected people have that power but actually all of us… all it takes is some serious emotions, if you really feel something from the core of your heart you can turn it into words too…
After all this happened my mind started working with double speed and the fire that i had inside me was fueling it.. I needed something to ease me and like always my blog was the first thing i thought about and i wrote all this shit here…

But an email just changed everything, every word in that mail touched me and my mind which was on fire has gone blank…. Friendship its such a difficult thing, you can’t even stay angry for long.. your friends won’t let you even..

You can spend your entire life but still you wont be able to figure out what friendship, love, and relationship is!!!

Don’t know what should i write now.. all i can say is FRIENDS you are my life!!!

P.S:- I won’t forgive you until i throw a glass full of ICE TEA on you…
and sorry readers for what i wrote about the 10 seasons of the show F.R.I.E.N.D.S.  i just love that show…

“Just a random thought at the middle of night..
Pardon me for the idiotic rhyme, and understand the feeling behind…”

I always thought i was different
And doesn’t need any other person for existence…

Friends n Girl friend all were there..
But i got comfort alone at stairs…

So many dreams, but so little i could do..
So many people, but alone i was that is true..

I was abnormal..
but never bothered…

Coz i was different..
And needed no one for existence..

But when the cool wind blows..
And i stand in corridors…

Alone i don’t want to be..
But find no one along with me…

Friends girl friend still there somewhere..
But that special someone nowhere…

Its then when i feel..
I need someone with mee…

Not a girlfriend whom i thought was different..
Not a group of friends who don’t understands…

A guy or a gal i don’t care..
But who enjoys this air,
The night and its flare…
The fluttering leaves and the chimering winds…

Not a word to say bt a million to feel..
That’s how a special person should bee..
And only for mee..

Life is not that fair,
work work and work that’s all it spares…

To enjoy the winds you need wings..
A support to break the bonds..
And to find a way out of thorns…

I know i am different..
And i need someone not for existence
But for persistence…

“Jaypee University of Information Technology” – My Alma Mater, Though I graduated just 2 months back but, life in Delhi has made me realize that, JUIT is nothing but heaven.”A home away from home.” Like I mentioned in my previous posts it’s actually when you leave that place and face the harsh realities of life you feel the importance of JUIT and the love and care it bestows upon you.

Just a moment of silence takes me back to all the memories of the beautiful time spent there, and these memories make me want to go back there…

Thanks to AICTE’s NBA team who visited JUIT. Actually it’s the JUIT-JBS DDM students who got the opportunity to visit JUIT for an interaction session with the NBA team and what started as an unofficial plan for me, turned official after I too got a call from Registrar Sir.
It was really unbelievable; I messaged my friends again to confirm that we are really going to JUIT.

Finally – 13th Feb late night – 2 taxis – 10 guys – 5 gals and the beginning of an exciting journey; beer and whisky, tea and parantha’s and a thousand memories revived. The dawn of Valentines Day at the place we really love… JUIT!!

There was no limit to my excitement and it all started when we reached Kandaghat, 10Kms before JUIT. We got off to have tea, realizing we were finally in Himachal Pradesh. Yes, I was near my JUIT. Yes, the chilling breeze had the same mesmerizing fragrance and the natural waterfalls all around and in between all this the caring people of Himachal gave the warmth that was required.

After we started off from there to cover the rest of the distance something got into me. Maybe, it was the fact that I was back home with everything around shouting to me “Hey, welcome back Vibhu” and in return I shouted back just like a small kid who stands on the road side and waves his hands to everyone passing by.

We discussed our very special moments and the awesome food when we crossed “The Destination Resort” and then came “Anshu Dhaba”, the place that made us to sneak out of JUIT at the middle of night to have the most amazing late night dinner.

Just when we reached “Apple Cart Inn” or TOI as we used to call it – a Himachal tourism restaurant that has given me such wonderful memories- The Drinks and the Non Veg and the pocket friendly prices is what attracted us to this place… but more than that it was the place from where you get to see the most beautiful place in between the hills – JUIT, Yes the first view!!

Yahoo!!!!!  As we moved forward, it was there; shining brightly and this time, Sahil and I shouted to the best of our ability, the guys favorite place around the campus “The Theka”, the memories of this place can not be put into words unless I write this article sitting there itself.

“PARADISE” written on the board at the top of our local restaurant at Waknaghat describes the place we are about to reach. It not only served as a break from the Mess food but is also a place that served as the sole source of fun with the pool and snooker table.

We left the Shimla Highway and took this small but really beautiful single road to JUIT. After 3 KMs the path gets divided into two, one that goes down to Dumeher Village and the other one takes you straight up to JUIT.

Although its the Welcome gate but we call it “The Thank-You gate” in the past four years when we used to reach this point we used to say “welcome to Jaypee Jail” but this time everyone just had one line to say “Welcome to Heaven” .

Just when we saw the entrance gate of JUIT everyone just shouted at the maximum pitch and the guards at the entrance gate would testify that, when I was entering the campus I decided I’ll re-live my college days. Just when I landed I was back to being a JUITian and I shouted “Yehhhhhhhh chakkkkooooooo mannnnn!!!!!” These shouts continued till we landed in front of our Annapurna.

First stop Annapurna, Breakfast was just an excuse because I only wanted to just go down there and shout “Namaste Bhaiyaji, mein aa gaya!! Laiye bread ko butter se bhar dijiye!!”

After that there was no time to waste and I headed towards my hostel H8, to surprise “Bhalu Bhai” and then it was time to meet my bro’s in H6. Only after I woke everyone in that hostel did I step out.

Finally it was H9 that was given to all of us and I was rather surprised to see a clean room with proper beds, bed sheet and blankets. At that very moment we felt so special and I recalled the time when we used to go to JIIT for placement or fest and they used to play this stupid joke with us by making us stay in common rooms, TV rooms and Carom board rooms with only mattresses and mosquitoes… So proved again JUIT is best in Hospitality as well!!!!!!!

After I got ready and planned to go to the Academic block, all my sweet juniors took us to “Sharma ji”,  ‘chai and maggi walle sharma ji’ where we used to spend our maximum time almost after every class. One of the most important part of JUIT is the small dhabas surrounding it be it Sharma ji at Mandir side or Lalaji at the back side of girls hostel or Kaku’s at the main gate, what acts as the smoking lounge for some, it was a place for me to spend time with my friends along with some Delicious parantha’s or Maggi.

On the way back, passing through the multipurpose sports field which not only act as basketball and volleyball court but gully cricket ground, you can clearly see “Vivekananda Bhawan” written on the top of this grand building – our Academic block. I choose to climb the stairs instead of taking the lift which I could now use officially being an alumni but I wanted to be just any other JUITian.

I felt like I am still a part of this place and just like any other day, Going for classes, so just like any other day I went to the Administration Dept to eat everyone’s head. Digvijay Sir, Negi Sir and Vinay Sir were all happy to see me.

For the first time I entered Registrar Sir’s cabin with so much confidence, and was so surprised to see that he had already cleared our travel bills. One thing that makes JUIT the best among the three institutes is that you don’t have to run from cabin to cabin to get your work done, here we have just one person who can solve all your problems be it personal or professional… I know many of you JUITians would be saying what am I writing, well guys trust me he is really a very caring person and some of my batch mates like Sachin Malviya are so thankful to him for saving their life…

It was really a different feeling when I went to meet my entire faculty and this time without taking my butter factory along. It felt so good to talk to them and I thanked everyone especially Lamba sir for my 8th Sem result because of which i managed to graduate with a respectable CGPA.

It was now time to meet the person I was so desperate to see the one and only Maala Ma’am, if asked what you miss most about JUIT, my answer will be Maala ma’am. She is someone has been like a mother to me and over the years she is the one who has taken care of me in JUIT… she is the biggest asset of JUIT. If ever I wanted to share something before anyone else I’ll share that thing with her… she’s the answer to all my Questions….

One thing very special happened, someone talked to me, yes the same someone I referred to in my article “Time to say Goodbye, But to whom??”

At lunch time Mall road was full with JUITians and there’s no word to describe what I felt when I met them or how they reacted when they saw me.. Hugs and smiles and just one question “Aap yahan kaise sir” it was really amazing to see all the familiar faces with whom I used to sit outside mess or roam around on mall road.People who took care of me and stood by me always, who made me laugh and gave me so many beautiful memories… I am really missing you friends…

After lunch it was time for what we came for, NBA teams interaction with parents and alumni, they just asked us one thing our views and feedback about JUIT. Parents were the first one to respond and to my surprise the way they described their bonding with this great institution. It was amazing because they were telling what they learned from their sons and daughters , now that’s the aura of JUIT not just the students but the parents also love this place. It was really an amazing meet as we had alumni from all the years even from the 1st batch…

Starting with Akriti Ma’am every one including me poured out our hearts in front of them but it was Moushumi’s words that brought tears in my eyes. It was really a proud moment when I saw the way NBA team responded to our words.

The interaction was followed by a small tea party but unlike any other JUIT tea party this one was arranged considering my state… Gooosh I was starving… It was really a nice time to interact with our seniors and faculty besides a group photo.

The most important part of this trip was yet to come, something we have been hearing since the time we came here, something I was really looking forward to, It was this party organized by our dear Registrar Sir and Medury Sir…

As always the small yellow colored university bus was waiting for us outside Girls Hostel to take us to ‘Hotel Holiday Home Shimla’.

Out of four main Hotels of Shimla I had visited because of JUIT, our farewell party was organized in ‘Hotel Peter Hoff’ and now this one in ‘HHH’ while the amazing pastries and free lift attracted us to the third one… The only one left is ‘Hotel Oberoi’ ,I hope Registrar Sir will organize our after convocation party there… J

Enough of the Shimla description, lets get back to our party, the moment we entered the hall, trust me guys ,it was a proud moment to be with some of the very senior members of Jaypee Group, Members of NBA team, HOD’s, faculty, Registrar Sir , Our Dearest Medury sir and no party is complete without the Girls warden – Maala Ma’am… The party was a blast and Registrar Sir didn’t let anyone without a drink, even the ones who don’t drink had wine or Shandy to enjoy the beautiful evening!!

Remember when your Teachers offer you drinks, that means they think that you are now ready for it officially, as you are no longer that kid who entered this University four-five years back. But now as an adult, and you are among those who represent this great institute.

Well guys, there’s one thing I am really proud of is being a JUITian and not a JIITian or JIETian or any other XYZian and I have enough reasons to justify this. If you think my article “JUIT V/S JIIT – thank god I am a JUITian” an the comments are not enough then maybe these points will make you believe how great this institution is:

· In which other university, you get invited to parties like this?

· Where will you find this warmth and care?

· Which Registrar will offer you a drink and not just offer but who would actually make one for you?

· Is there any other place where you and the COO of entire JES or VC of your university stands under the same roof and talk, just like friends?? And which other VC listens to your problems and solve them, then and there. And where will you find someone who says “YES” to all your stupid and sometimes really costly demands???

· Which other Institute will help you so much even after you graduate from there? I Think Pramir Sir will totally agree with me on this point.

There are just so many reasons to prove that JUIT is the best and that JUITians are really the lucky ones because they have what no other place can ever dream…

The next day was reserved just for all my dear friends. It was a day to relive my JUIT days be it sitting on the steps outside mess, or relaxing in front of the Mandir, or enjoying every single moment inside our cafeteria…

This is the point where I can’t write any further because anything I write about the beautiful moments spent with my friends, the more I start missing them and the more I want to go back!!
With a tiny tear in my eyes I bid you goodbye and when I am writing this last line the moment when you all gathered that day to wish me good bye comes in front of me…

But, as they always say, “Every goodbye makes the next hello closer.”

My Friend Vinodini Kapoor has described this really beautiful trip in even more beautiful way…

Here’s the entire Journey in her words…

“A small effort to gather memories and to thank you for the wonderful visit you hosted for us.“

The same land, called me with a loving smile,

It seemed so new, every brick and every tile.

Didn’t have those pals, I always knew were mine,

I still believed the sleepless journey would be fine.

There were my friends, who still seemed new,

It’s only because days spent with them are few.

A memorable past was what I always thought,

Would stay with me, for these days I got.

Not realizing that this very old land,

Called us again with a welcoming hand.

How every minute unleashed to me,

That beautifully loving, these people would be.

I came across many smiling faces,

Not to mention those awkward gazes.

For I used to be, one among the hundred lot,

Who cribbed and cried and weirdly fought.

With conviction JUIT seemed, the “PRISONER’s LAND”,

But it’s only the reason, that’s made me stand.

An alma mater precious than the oldest coin,

You will realize the value, once you join.

Reasons are many, once I start to figure,

My personality it’s groomed and vouches to trigger.

A word of gratitude, to our fatherly hosts,

JUIT is now our family, and that’s a toast!!!

Love you all, Love you My Alma Mater…

JUIT ROCKS!!!

P.S:- Thanks Vinni thanks a lot for all the help, This write up wouldn’t have been possible without you…

Its Jan 1,2009…

A new year,a new day,a new beginning…

But before this new start let me first thank all those who made my 2008 so special…. 
My thanks to all my friends who made every moment worth living…

Special thanks to HCL and in particular Sandhaya mam for giving me an opportunity to work for HCL… frankly speaking that was the biggest day of my life…

Thank thanks to my teachers, HOD sir and Medury sir because of whom i am what i am today.. yes An Engineer and above all with a respectable CGPA of 6.2… It was really unbelievable when i saw 8.9 SGPA in my 8th sem examination…  

But this year was not all about these happy and successful moments but actually a very tragic or should i say the worst year of my life and in particular the date 11th August the day my Grandfather Sh. Lekh Raj gera passed away… If it would have been a natural death then i wont have written all this It was a shocking Accident… 
I remember My grandfather once said “the day I’ll die take my funeral with a band” and it was he only who made me so mature about this stage of life… and i always agreed to him about this that its a part of life everyone has to die some time or other but God not like this, he was so healthy so active and he brought happiness to so many with his yoga lessons…

I still believe he’s still with me and because of him only i got placed and this CGPA…

“Daadu miss you lots….”

Moving ahead the last quarter of 2008 brought some very tough times for the entire world in the form of recession and everyone can still feel its impact… 
But even in this tough time again thank to HCL for starting with our Japanese language training{as a part of their Japanese business program for which i was selected} on time.. Although its an unpaid training but i am happy i won’t have to sit at home and wait for my joining!!!

More than that The terror Attack on Mumbai rather i should say on India gave big blow to the entire foundation of this country and made major impact on the heart and soul of every Indian…

I salute all the brave men who gave their lives to protect my fellow Indians… and personally i feel its not the time to sit back and show our Mumbaikar or Indian spirit that yes even after an attack we are back to our work and daily life, i feel its time to fight back not just with the external terrorist but with the terrorists inside our country and inside the system yes i mean the politicians who made this a war of words and played with our sentiments… Its time to ACT!!!

2008 came to an end with me being with my best buddies @ midnight for the first time and with a drink and an awesome dinner…. 

And in the end I’ll thank my parents for being there always and for always supporting my over expensive lifestyle… 

2009

I hope this year will bring some change to the global economic situation and i wish our politicians learn some leason from the death of so many innocents and will rise above this dirty politics… 

I hope this year i start earning and can fulfill all my grandfather’s wishes and also can help my parents.. 

Looking forward to a great 2009 

and also

WISHING YOU ALL A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR….

May the year ahead brings peace prosperity health and happiness in everyone’s life… 

Sayonara friends OOPS… hum hain rahi pyar ke fir milenge chulte chulte!!
