new year resolutions

If by chance i am given a choice to choose some thing I will choose more spare time. It passey every second. I cant stop it. I even dont want to stop it. Let it go. So this year will again go. Its going already and next one is coming. Y2006. Like all the guys and gals blogging for new year I am too blogging for new year. I always wanted to rcord all my resolutions. Now I have blogger and I can do it. My this year's resolution failed many times. But I will try my best to keep next year's resolutions. If you are by chance reading this blog, you will find my one and only resolutions for year 2005. If you find it and leave a comment on it you winn all expense paid(by you ofcourse) trip to any one destination accorss the globe. My first and fore most task in year 2006 will to strengthen my company. 2 years passed when I joined Sunrise Software Solutions. We saw many good and bad phases. There was a time I had almost quit. But I dont quit easily. So I am back. Back with more determination. I am ready to loose but I want to give my best. My target is to forge some good ties abroad. I have succeeded in some countries. then my min motive will be to organise the company. Build a good team. Overall goal is to make company capable of paying good salaries to team members. anyone who worked with me is again ready to work with me. Only I avoid as we cant pay them good salaries. The fact they are still ready to work with us makes me proud of my skills. Nitin still says you cant handle a team and he is right. I need to sharpen my skills in management too. Earn more money. This is related to my first rsolution. So My company grows I grow. Company can pay me good salary. Find time for myself. Having clients abroad is a good thing. But living in 4 dfferent time zones is bad. This year I will try to find out some time for myself. I promise myslef that

• Will go to see mom and dad in once a month. My mom and dad live in Ludhiana just 90 KMs from Chandigarh and I go home after 1-2 months. Mom and dad shifted to new place. Our neighbours when look at me with surprise and say, "So you are Sharma g's son. We never saw you."
• I will be a clean shaved guy whole year. Will not grow beard. Common believe is that I look smart when am clean shaved. Girls be aware. Smart guy around you. Boys, am sorry guys. Public demand. This was my resolutions for year 2005.
• I will take good care of my bike. And PC too. My PC and Bike both are my fav things. They never misbehave me and move in the direction where I want them to move. I will wash my bike at weekends atleast. Will dust my PC once in a week atleast.
• will shop some youthful colored cloths. All my wardrobe is full of sober and dull colors. Now I need some youth full color.
• I will find ONE REAL GF this year. Yes I am serius. I know this will be partialty with other girls but time has come for that Lucky one. Yes am in Love with Mah, but she is already married and is my Vitual GF. I want honesty in my relations.
• Will not drive like John Abraham. I drive at 70+KMPH. Dangerous. I do wear helmet but still its dangerous
• Will try to learn good english. Spoken and written too. I will also try to reduce my spelling and gramatical misstakes.

I am unable to find more resolutions this page is still draft. Why? Oh recalled. I will stop forgetting things also. I want to forget some one and I am unable to do it. And I forget all everything else. I have a very bad memory. And in coming year my resolution is not to forget anything. BTW I had made a long list of resolutions and I forgot where i had put the list

Windoz and Linux

All that gliiter is not gold. But we still go with glitter. Artificial jewellery and Aishwarya Rai and MS Windows are example of this. We will prefer them for other good quality products that are available for less efforts or price. I just got a new 80 Gig drive. So first thing I had to do was install OS on the drive. Lets begin with The glitter. I installed Win2KPro. I started installing OS around 4 in the evening yesterday and I am still struggling with it. Some drivers are missing. Current time is 5:30 PM I alwayz have Linux on my machine. Dual boot machine. I rebooted the machine around 11:30AM today. Changed boot sequence and set CDROM as first boot drive. then inserted Knoppix and when knoppix booted I ran "sudo knoppix-installer" command in a shell. There was a message no gurantees. OK. Not an issue. You dont need gurantees with Linux. Launched Freecell and around 12:30 I was changing my debian desktop's wallpaper and listning some songs. I ask myself why still I am using windows? No answer. When will my team learn using Linux.

Winter is finally here

Yesterday 2 things happened in Chandigarh. a) Power Cut b) Season's first fog So I was out of the office for first half, and guess what I did. NSTP. I went to Panjab University. Read the spelling again its PANJAB not PUNJAB. Being a Punjabi by nature also I enjoy everything thats Punjabi. Winter brings some pure punjabi stuff also. Mainly yummy things. I remeber we used to be at our maternal grandparents house in Pathankot. Me, my yngr sis and our than 5 more cousin sister and brothers. 7-8 kids in a house. In day time we use to be on roof flying kites. Shouting at each other. Screaming. Then in the evening in front of TV. But all good things come to an end. My cousins are now grown up and they have kids. My yngr cousins have either completed their masters or are in finals. Me in Chandigarh working round the clock missing even the sunlight. But still I find some good old punjabi things. Gachak. I dont know how to explain but you will find it in Northern India. Primary ingrediant is jaggery. You can add peanuts and or dryfruits. Peanuts. Peanuts and Peanuts. I dont think I need to explain it more. Gajar ka halwa. Its again a North Indian desert. Till 2 years back I used to be at my home and enjoy this delicacy made by my mom. After my mom the only best cook in this world is mee. (Shameless self promotion. :P) Bhugga. This is a punjabi stuff. Made using sesame and jaggery. Sesame is commonly known as Til in northern India. There are more versions of Bhugga that even dont use jaggery. One famous is "Khoye wala bhugga." This is not my kind of thing. But I do like til wali gachak. Apart from all these you can find gulab jamun and this is the season when my supply of coffee is not under any scanner. I can drink as much as I can. Hot mild espresso is my fav. Club with some desert like Gajar ka halwa or Garam Gulab Jamun. Yummy!!! And the one thing that needs mention here is sarson ka saag and makki di roti. Makki di roti is tough thing. Its really hard to knead dough of corn flour and make roti. Only experinced persons can do it. My mom obviusly can make good makki di rotis. Now the toughest thing in this combo is saag. The sarson ka saag. Sarson or Mustard is grown in for its seeds. In the month of feb one can see fileds in Punjab that look like a carpet of yellow colors. I guess every one has seen DDLJ and must have seen SRK standing in a field. The saag requires picking up the right mustard stems from field. Separating leaves and boiling them. Now this simple boiling process can be as complex as you can think of. Wooden stove will have separate aroma. What herbs you use while cooking leaves also have different effect. Then the tadka or frying part. At last when you have both things ready you need atleast 100 gms of butter with just one makki ki roti and minimum 2-3 table spoons of ghee with half bowl of saag. Its not over you can use corn flour in making methi ki roti. Again a difficult but yummy thing. Methi wali roti is served hot. One of the things I will be doing after being rich and famous is to have my OWN SEPARATE kitchen. Must go and grab some breakfast. Its really weired that when you cant sleep you just start blogging. Really insane.

NSTP

NSTP. Whats that??? Its an abbrevation. The term was coined by me. Like all great men on this planet I have coined many terms. LIFST Box, NSTP and Phi9 are fewor them. Jan 2003, one of my uncle and me were having a stroll on on Sukhna Lake Chandigarh. Like me he also is a lover of natural things. Sukhna is man made. Anyway the girls are not. Some one called GOD created them and create a lot of problems. GOD is also responsible for many more problems. Anyway. He lookead around and said, "This place is good and I like it. You can come here and do CHAKSHU VYAYYAM." CHAKSHU = Eye VYAYYAM = Exercise My face was like He said, "Dude dont tell me you dont know about CY." I said, "Really uncle. I dont know wat it is." Uncle: "Dude, you have ruined the name of mankind. I didnt expect this from you. I always thot you are knowledgable person. " Me: Uncle: "OK son, CY is nothing but looking at ___ beautiful girls." Me:", shi_ I calll it NSTP". Uncle:" and wat does NSTP stands for." Me:" Nayan Sukh Time Pass." NSTP is nothing but relief for your eyes. This term is used buy guys widely. They just change the letters but the real meaning is same. You just look at butiful gals. . This is purely doen to kill time and give relief to your eyes. Good exercise. Like every other exercise you need to take care while doing it. This exercise must be done quitley. No one except you shud know that you are doingh this exercise. Today, I did this exercie. Why? In one of my recent post I claimed that I seldom go out. True. But I live in an autocratic setup. My niece, The Princess has ordered me to take her to Lake. Obviously she is the autocrate and I being a normal person in this setup today took her for a stroll on lake. Bhabhi g was also with me. We went for boating and Nanmun, my niece, she was not getting out of the boat. I had to shelve extra 30 Rs for the boat. She wasnt satis fied wen she was going home. Money is some time really a useless thing. You really cant buy everything to make a kid happy. Tough job. But I got worth of my money. I had promised her that I will take her to lake and I kept my words. She was still saying, "Chacha G I want to touch ducks." I tried my best that she cud touch a duck. Called ducks by every name I cud use,"Ducky Ducky, hello, puchi puchi, hey baby, come on. come near." But Ducks knew I am an omnivore. Or they heard me saying,"these ducks look Delicious." There was a time, when me and Shubhranshu used go for evening walk on lake. We used to do NSTP and discuss why the hell MS is more popular than Linux. Sweet memories.

Move It Move It

Ok Pals, I do take out some time for my fav stuff. ANIMATIONS. Cartoon Network is my Fav Channel Then Pogo then Discovery then NatGeo Then History then MTV then Channel [V] Star Movies HBO... (... means and so on) OK lets Move It Move It. I just watched Madagascar. Its a fun Movie and I like the Lemur King and Penguins. U can see a team of dedicated penguins who think that they are part of some consipiracy to keep them in the zoo. The overall movie is fun to watch. Its really fun to see a Lion and a Zebra as friend and Lion. You see what the real friend ship is. Must watch it.

Enjoy week end??

Krish commented on my previous post and in the end said enjoy ur weekend! Below is my expression. WEEKEND: Woh kya hota hai?? Whats that?? WEEKEND: WEEKEND?? WEEKEND: Muje nahi pata?? I dont know?? WEEKEND: WEEKEND? I seldom find a weekend in my current life. I am working on sundays too. Bad luck. Not mine. Bad luck for Krish. He will be using his precious sunday for watching TV or sleeping or some thing like that. Edited Again: FYI, I am an enterprenaur. Being an enterpreaur means U r devoted. I live in

• Australian Time Zone
• Indian Time Zone
• UK Time Zone
• US Time Zone
• Canadian Time Zone
• Iranian Time Zone, for my personal Reasons

This doesnt mean am glued to my PC. I run for meetings. Go for sales calls. Demos. Manage 30 Clients. Am developing a team also. Earning money and looking at cute girls is second thing I also like to do and fail on both fronts. My personal financial condition is never stable due to some unknown reasons. I take off from my hectic life now and then. Even one of my client was surprised to see me not working on one weekend. Bhupinder if got a call from my cell will be shocked and say, U r not working today. I guess its my way of not geting dukhi. or saying bbye to useless heart breaking episodes. U dont get time for urself so u dont get time to go out so u dont look at girls and so u dont fall in love and so u dont go thru that Pain and so just go thru the pain in neck or back that is curable. and U live ur life happily. Although u may suffer

• hypertension
• loss in eyesight
• pain in neck
• pain in back
• waist size increment
• addiction to blogging

Life is like that ;-)

Pyar vyar and all that

The week started with throat infection. Can't speak. Can't eat. Bad thing. Was in a wedding and cud not eat anything. I was late and so I cud not find coffee or soup. Too bad. This week I didnt work on monday and tuesday but some how manage to finish some pending jobs. I found some pals in the virtual world. A very distuped topic again was discussed. The issue is "Love". Love. Love? Love! I dont know how many ways I can use this word. This word has taken many lives. But the real meaning I think is still not understood. My interprettion is very simple. Love is giving. When U Love U dont ask but u give. Thats all.

Work of literary exception...

I had said Chaitanya that the post will be titled "work of literary exception by club of ppl who dont want publicity or nobel prize", but this title wil spoil the formatting of my blog. First who is Chaitanya? She, YES SHE, is one of the girls who are not sure to join my club or not. The following is conversation that took place between me and her on her blog. The post was not a big issue but a small "I feel lonely", issue. ---------------------------------------------- Kumar Chetan said...

>>When you miss somebody, somebody will miss you... Does it really happens? I doubt. Seriusly u r trying to run away from reality. B a human. Accept it. OR U better join my Lonely Hearts Club. Many positions are vacant. Only the seat of president has been occupied by (and that too by default will remain with) me. Better hurry up or u will not b able to join me. I had to edit my Komment wen I read ur profile again. U r not a MAN but Human/Femme Fatale. AFAIK Chaitnya is a named normally used by Bengalis for males. I need to learn.

U r not a MAN but Human/Femme Fatale. AFAIK Chaitnya is a named normally used by Bengalis for males. Happens with almost with everyone, in my case. "Chaitanya" is usually named for males(even in this part of world). Girls also will have the name "chaitanya" but something added to it... like for ex "chaitanya deepika" etc. But my name is just "Chaitanya". Whats in name after all :)

Now some analysis of the above will reveal this

• Dont work & blog side by side. U will find stupid errors like I did.
• Girls in any part of India are alike. U need lot of patience to explain them.
• Today afternoon I was again free.
• The last few comments were posted in 30 minutes duration. This duration cud have been smaller if both had started using some IM tool.
• Chaitanya still dont want to join any of my club. She will repent this.

What is LIFST Box?

The following is detail of a revolutionary technic called LIFST Box What is LIFST Box? It has been found that people take problems as problem. This in fact itself is the root cause of every problem. If you try to visualize a problem not a problem but as a task you can easily sole that problem. Now while finishing tasks you may again face PROBLEMS. NOW when this occurs You can put the task in LIFST Box. The LIFST stands for "Leave It For Some Time" box. This is a hypothetical box. This box can be anything. A chocolate box. A table drawer. A Pen Box. Any kind of Box. The main Purpose of putting your task in the box is that you don't loose your TASK you just leave it for some time. Now every object in this world will decay so will the "Task" you put in that box the only thing is you forget about the Task not the LIFST Box. Now open the box when some time has passed. TADA! Your task has been finished. This is nothing but a psychological way to solve problems. When you ind errors in your code more frequently then it means that your brain needs a break. Give your brain a break. I mean have a break . Don't smash your head with wall to give your brain that BREAK. In the break time discuss kyonki saas bhi bahu thi but not the problem. After the break give your code a RESTART. I am sure you will find the way out. This works for me and every one around me. I hope you are not alien and it will work with you too.

Does Your Blood Type Reveal Your Personality?
According to a Japanese institute that does research on blood types, there are certain personality traits that seem to match up with certain blood types. How do you rate?

TYPE O	You want to be a leader, and when you see something you want, you keep striving until you achieve your goal. You are a trend-setter, loyal, passionate, and self-confident. Your weaknesses include vanity and jealously and a tendency to be too competitive.
TYPE A	You like harmony, peace and organization. You work well with others, and are sensitive, patient and affectionate. Among your weaknesses are stubbornness and an inability to relax.
TYPE B	You're a rugged individualist, who's straightforward and likes to do things your own way. Creative and flexible, you adapt easily to any situation. But your insistence on being independent can sometimes go too far and become a weakness.
TYPE AB	Cool and controlled, you're generally well liked and always put people at ease. You're a natural entertainer who's tactful and fair. But you're standoffish, blunt, and have difficulty making decisions.

I am suffering from throat infection. Unable to speak properly. Pain. And on top of that can't eat. MUMMY (Look Believers am Remebering my GOD) Last time when I suffered from eye infection I decided that I will pledge my eyes and I did it. Now I decided that I will not work and I did this too.

Why I am an atheist?

Once there was a rich man, lets call him X. He had 3 sons named A, B and C. The man was earned sufficient money in his life and in his old age decided to take rest. He booked a cruiser seat and went on for a world tour. During his vaccations he sent a letter each to his sons. After 3 months the man returned. He starightaway went to his eldest son A. X:"Hello Son A, how r u?" A:"Hello Dad, am fine and what about u? How was ur cruise?" X:"Son I had sent u a letter. Did U recieve that letter?" A:"Yes dad, look here it is." A takes his dad to a temple like structure. He points to a place highest in the structure and said,"Dad, I have placed your letter there. I worship your letter every day. " X was bit amazed. X went to B's place and asked the same question. B:"Yes dad, I got your letter." B shows his dad a letter wrapped in a silk cloth and placed in most sacred place in his house. "I recite your letter everyday." X was suprised. Now X went to C and asked him the same question. C:"That letter. Oh dad your job has been dont. I water the plants regularly and take ur dog on walt too. Ur servants also got their salaries at right time. Just one problem, I lost the letter." X = the so called GOD. The letter is Geeta, Kuran or Bible, whatever your religion is. And we are A, B and C. I hope every one will like to call him or her self C. But every 100 out of 100 is either A or B. I am even not C. I am totally atheist. Known to consume liquor and eat non veg on Tuesdays. If I like I will shave everyday, be it sunday or tuesday or any day. If I dont like I wont shave. I will let my beard grow. My mom dad some time advise me to recite Sundarkaand. It is supposed to help me. I dont think so. I need to study my text books not Sunderkaand to clear my exams. The following is a link to an article put by Jaya on her blog. http://jayajha.wordpress.com/2004/12/01/why-i-am-an-atheist-bhagat-singh/ I am going to buy the book that Bhagat Singh wrote. Once Mah said, "You dont believe in GOD. Are you comunist?" I laughed. I said am materialistic. I like money and will not share it with anyone just coz he is a citizen of my country. Edited after Chez commented. What is the GENDER of GOD? Is GOD he or SHE? I normally dont argu with believers but Chez I wil argue here. If there is some thing like GOD, I will say my mom and dad both are like GOD. I can see them. I can feel them. Touch them. I can argue with them and in extreme cases can go against them. But still they love me. I can't say GOD is HE or SHE. I never saw GOD and ppl like GOD are available in all Gender, Shapes, Colors and Ages. Chez, there is nothing as GOD. An english quote says,"I like to say Oh my GOD coz It sounds good." Win over urself. And U will be like GOD.

Am I color blind??

Befor starting this post I browsed Yahoo! emtionicons and cud find this. For last 3-4 months I have been FORCED to assist my bhabhi g and Ms Navneet gfor shopping. Navneet is getting married next year. So she is on a shopping spree. If some female is reading this I will like to tell her that you need a lot of HIMMAT(courage) to assist ladies on shopping. I like sober colours, cream and grey shades and earthy colors. Bright colors are a big no from me. I have shirts that look same. Sweaters in grey colors, Jackets in military color. T-shirts again grey or blck. Shoes, Tan color and will be buying more Woodland stuff in camel or military green shades. I used to design homepages and worked on many colourfull projects and can still diffrentiate between many colors. But after accompnying bhabhi g and Navneet I am sure that a) I can only work with Greyscale b) My brain can only proces 8 bit colours/just some hundred not 32 bits/millions of colours. c) that my color choice is for old guys not for the younger ones. I was with bhabhi g in Tanishq showroom. She is one of those Indian ladies who will argue with shop keeper for 2 hours and then after 2 hours will say I was just trying this product. Imagine this. You enter a showroom and all the sales staff surround you. You feel like VIP. Customers are VIP, GOD for some shopkeepers and infact they are right. Now you demand for some high quality product and that too at dirt cheap price. I feel sympathatic for all thos sales persons who sell women stuff. I understand your pain. The sales staff still tries to sell you some thing. "Look at this madam, this is latest. We have sold n pieces in just m days", where n is too high and m is too low. Sometime I am really surprised how can the sales staff lie so perfectly. Still you are not sure what do you want to purchase and you ask me, "What are you doing? Why dont you help me in deciding?" "ME " "Yes, thats why we came together or else I wud have come with XYZ", where XYZ is any body who you wish was here to replace you. "OK", I suggest some thing, an Oxidised jewellery set. "What Chetan/Montu/Kumar? I am looking for good colors not dull things." The sales staff looks at my face. One more hour passes and still nothing is finalised. "Hey bhagwan!(Oh my GOD). Its 7:30 PM. We shud leave now or else we will get late. " this is an instruction for me to get ready to move into another showroom. Now to sales staff, "Sorry we are getting late. Are you open on sunday?" Sales staff know even if they are open till late night this person is not going to buy any thing. "Yes Madam", they say smiling. This episode has been repeated by my bhabhi g, Navneet and Neha too. Neha was one of my collegue's GF. He asked me to accompny her. Gr8 guy. He saved his skin. At one shop packed with lot of prospective buyers Neha screamed, "Hey Chetu, look at this top. Kitna ganda hai! (its dirty!)" and the everyone in the shop first looked at the top and then at my face. Neha was no where there. My situation was very awkaward. I dont know a) why females need a new dress everyday? b) Why do they take so much time(2+ hours) in choosing from just 2 options? c) Why cant they buy Woodland stuff? After 2-3 years you have to throw away the shoes coz yu really cant wear same shoes continuosly for more than 3 years. d) why girl T-Shirts are expensive? If you calculate the cost of material used you will find that bizness houses are arning from female clothings. They sell kids stuff to girls and charge for grown ups. I also found some interesting things. a) My color choice is sober instead of dull. This has been proved by sales men and my pals. b) I hav lot of patience. c) Menz clothing is more expensive than Girls. d) I can wear bright colors and look kool. LookKool. LOOKKOOL. Although I can diffrentiate between red and mehroon but still can't figure out which color is mehroon.

Turning 26

3rd Dec I will be 26+. Time to sit back and think wat I got in last one year? wat I lost? from where I started and where have I reached? Lets begin with begining. (Not that time when I was born just last year.) 3rd Dec 2004: B'day Gift In the begining there was not light. I was trying to sleep. Me and my cousin. We both shared a room and he was lying on my left hand side in his bed. Beep! Beep! Damn it! SMS alert. As soon as you feel sleepy there is an SMS alert. Who is this? Man its her Msg. "Oye so ja or ise band kar de"(Hey go to sleep and switch off this (cell phone)), Bhaiyya shouted. I switch the phone to silent mode. Reply her msg, "Hey ____, go to sleep yaar. its 11:30. bbye, hav sweet dreams." As soon as I send msg, my cell vibrates again. Its Nitin. Man this sucks."Priye Kummu, Daddu, shubhu, neelu, Pakistan wali, ______ wali, or teri sab girl frends ke saath saath meri taraf se happy B'day". (Dear Kummu, Happy B'day from me, Daddu, Neelu, Shubhu, Sadi from Pakistan and from ___, and from all your GFs). Those were some of best moments of my life. She and nitin wished me right when 3rd Dec began. 3rd morning, I woke up as usual at 7 AM, straight to kitchen, did dishes, made bed tea for me and bhaiya. Took Shower and got ready. No plan till now of any kind of B'day Treat. Again my cell rings. "Hello KC", its Goldy,"Kinna buddha ho giya. Hapy B'day Veere" (How old are you, Happy B'day Bro). I am smiling. Feeling good. I was not planning any treat. Again cell phone and it was her miss call now. I call back. "Hi ___, how r u?" "aap kaise ho"(how r u) "Bas aap se baat hui ab theek hun, kya tum a sakti ho lunch par, every one will be coming. If you come it will be a B'day gift for me."(fine after talking wid u. Can U come for lunch. every one else will be coming. If you come it will be a B'day gift for me.) on 3rd of dec I didnt knew who were all those whom I called everyone. I was noticing change in beahoviour of all my FRIENDS. I didnt knew what my best FRIENDS were upto. Around 10 I am in office. "Gud mor'g Sir and Happy B'day". Its Tanvi. My collegue. She had bought a penas a gift for me. "Hey Tanvi you dont need to bring gifts for me. You are younger to me. I cant take this." But I had to. Afternoon, All my Best FRIENDS have wished me. Nitin was adament for a treat. OK. I called Silky, she is my another Best FRIEND but had not wished me till now. "Hi, Silky. How r u" "Hi Chetan, How r u." "Silky can u come for a lunch, I am hosting it." "Ummm, No chetan but why are you hosting a lunch today" "Its my B'day treat" "Oh am so sorry, I forgot, Happy B'day Chetan. Am really sorry" "Never mind, can u come." "No sorry I cant" I asked her 2-3 times more but she was wrking wid Airtel and didnt have any leave. She is my Virtual Sister. OK No problem. I call Anupama. No reply. Yatharth, He appologises,"Happy B'day Dude. Man am really sorry, am in Dharampur." Yatharth is wrking hard to launch his Restaurants. He is a Rich guy. Rally Rich but nice guy. I seldom see Rich guys like him. I again call her, "Are you coming" "I dont know. I may and may not" Now I call Navneet. "Hello titli", (Hello butterfly) "Hi Chetan" "Can u come for a lunch, I am hosting it." "Oh Chetan, am sick. I cant move. And u r asking for me to come for a lunch. Please yaar I cant get ready for a treat." She still didnt ask me why I am hosting a lunch. "I can come and pick you from your PG" "ummmm, chetan yaar please samjha karo"(chetan dear understand) "Please" "OK, come and pick me up", she still dont know why am hosting lunch. OK Now the guest list is final. My best FRIENDS are on the list. Nitin has decided to drive me around in his car. 2day am a special person. We reach Navneet's PG. She is surprised and asks whats the occasion. "Oh CHETAN, I forgot. Happy B'day yaar." "Never mind" We reach the spot. My cell rings. Miss call. I call back. "Hey where are you ppl. Tell me where to reach" "You are coming!! Oh we are standing out side..." I got my B'day gift. But she has baught me a gift. "GIFT???" "You need a new _____. Open it. I have put a 5 Rupees coin also." I am speechless and Happy obviously. My mom has still not called and wished me. neither did my dad. Now cell rings and its my mom. "Happy B'day Beta"+ all mom son talks. 31st Dec & 10th Jan: Double Surprise I wished I had not done this project. It was all miscommunication. We were going to suffer a loss of 20K. A big amount for me at that time. My cell rings. Its my client. "Good evening sir" "Hello chetan, you can collect your cheque 2day evening." SURPRISE. Man I have almost lost this money. I call Nitin and tell him this. "Good. Do collect the cheque and thank him. Make him feel easy." One of my Best Friend, lets call him X, was sitting wid me. My Friend X used my machines to surf. Its like some one comes to your office, just to chat and check his emails. I have no objections. He leaves and withing 10 minutes I got another call, this time from my landlord. SURPRISE. "Vacate the room 2mro. I dont want you ppl here." In next 24 hours I come to know that my Best Friends including X, all has been trying to do every possible thing to put my little setup down. WHY? I still dont know. They Back stabbed me. Me and Nitin tried hard to persuade and at last we were successful. I try to divert my attention to exams. I was waiting for last one month for bike. Now the decision was made. I was going to buy Splendour. The economy bike. My idea was to get red colour. But she said,"I dont like red color". Later me and bhaiya decided we will get silver gray. 10th Jan I have my bike. "Happy now", asked bhaiyya. "Now I need a GF", I said. As soon as I reach office and plan for a small treat, I get a call, "Dude your best FRIENDS are planning to file an FIR against you and Nitin". SURPRISE for me. I see my Best FRIENDS and they see me with a brand new bike. SURPRISE for them. I was still tanding with them smiling. "Did u like the color", I asked. "Yes" One said, "Thank God you got this bike. I thot u will get Bullet 350" "I will do that also. Dont worry. I didnt have enuff money. Rit now this will do for me." When things get tougher tough gets going. 26th Feb: Final confession She always wondered who is that girl I always told her about. I never told her name to anyone but she exists. Who is she? I always said, "See its none of your business. I like that girl a lot but I dont want to tell her. I fear she may stop talkin wid me." "No you tell me her name today or I wont talk wid you." My Phone bills were like 1200-1400 Per month. I thot it shud end now. I finally smsed her thatI dont want to loose her and cant tell her that it was she. She cried. Girl thing. March. She got a new job. And only I know this. No one else close to her. And now I know more things about her. I feel safe. I got an impression that she is mature enough and she will keep our friendly relation continue. Good. April:Turbulence tur·bu·lence ( P ) Pronunciation Key (tûrby-lns) n.

True to its meaning the month started with all things going wrong. This month changed me for once and all. I have used 10k+ and still dont have money in my personal account. Neither is there any money in Company acocunt. The worst phase for company. Nitin is angry with me. Dad is not happy. And her phone calls have stopped. I called her,"We had a talk yesterday. Chetan you are getting possesive. We are just friends. " Her behaviour has changed. She is rude. One night I got her SMS. "Sorry I was rude." "Hey ___, dont worry U realised na. thats OK with me." But I decide now I wont call her till the time she calls me. 1 day passed. 2 days. 3 days. 1 week passed. Oh man. I am addicted. At last I give up and call her. "Hi, how r U?" "I am fine. I m very busy. Dont have time for useless things? got some thing imp to say?" "No, I just called u to say Hi." "OK talk some time later bbye" "BBye" In the office scene is not different. I get a call from Chennai, good salary. Another local call. Again good package to start. This time it was the same company which said once I was useless for them. This month it was their 3rd call. Financial status of company was very poor. I had made up my mind to quit the business. I am an engineer not an enterprenaur. I didnt speak wid any one for 2 days. I tell Nitin bout my decesion. He is angry. Tries to convince me. I cant be moved. I am stable. "OK dude so you want to F*** me. I am ready. Do it to me. But do one more thing go and tell Mr. Virdi that you will not do his project. I cant go and say all this to him." I said ok. I will do that. I had decided and asked Rajeshwar for a job. He was surprised at my decesion. He advised me to stay back. I insisted. OK. He said," I can look for a job here in South India. Can you relocate?" "YES" I tell bhaiyya about my decesion. He tells me his story. His dad exoired when he was doing LLB. He cud have got a job in some quotta. But he had decided to go against the odds. He is well established now. But I am not convinced. "OK. Go and join some where.", he said. In the mean time I speak with dad. Dad used to practice astrology. He said,"Beta(Son), this period is not good. The planets are not good. Stay calm and do whatever you want. " Mom, "Son, I will say you go for business. Keep your company running. We want to see you growing. Rest do what you feel is good for you." I fix an appointment wid Mr. Virdi. Just 15 mins. Those 15 mins made me think about every one else than myself. Mr. Virdi,"Chetan no one can stop you. If you want to leave, you can. I suggest you again give a thought to your decesion. Ur decesion will also affect my position here in company. I had worked very hard on this project's documentation which we will be starting soon and this project means a lot to our company". Wait Dear, I tell my self, you dont give up easy. This is not your quality. You can live w/out her. you can run a company. Where is you AB+ve attitude. OK I am not going anywhere. May 2005:Virtual World I have found one more good thing in April. Mah. She is my Virtual GF. Hope she had been a REAL ONE. She is beautiful. Every one swear by her beauty. It was all accidental. I saw her in a chat room and asked her wat his name meant. She said he is she and from Iran. Do ppl and that too females use internet in Tehran. I thot she is one of those Burqa Clad woman. Anyway. Curiosity attracted me to her. Initially she said she was all alone. Bachelor. And on top of that She is a graphic designer. Good for me. I need some one to doe graphics for my company. One day she said, "Do you want to see me?" "Yes, sure" Curious, how do a female in burqa look on cam. and when I see her I said "You are a liar, you are not from Iran. No one in Iran is like you" "What are you saying" "You are so beautiful and wearing SPAGHETTI TOP" "What does this mean?" Later I found that Iran is not like wat we think. Iran is closely linked to India. I leaerned some Persian words and found that Hindi is full of Persian words. Ppl in Persia(Iran) are big fan of Indian movies. infact Mah knows more hindi songs than I know. One day she was not in a good mood. I consoled her. Said some good words. She said, "You are so kind". I said,"Hey am just a simple guy:-). Infact you are so beautiful and you still talk to me. If I had been in Iran I wud have proposed you for marriage." "HAHAHA. you are kidding" "No am serius. " How can I forgot her at this moment. "Really" "Yes Mah. I am in a kind of addiction. I want to see you everyday. I dont know what do ppl say but i think its a kind of love". where is she. One day she tells me, "Montu, I am married". Not a blow to me. "OK. Not a problem. Now as you have told me I can trust you more. You can lie to me easily but you didnt. This means you are honest." "Oh you are so kind with me " "No dear, I am a simple guy. " She saw me on cam and was quite for a moment. "What happened" "Am looking at my BF. He is cute." Now I have a card sent by her. A CD of her fav music which includes some tracks by DJ Aligator and Mundiyan to bach ke rahin track by DJ MC. June to Dec: Change is a natural process. I have earned more than 2000 US$ from just 2-3 offshore projects+ enuff money to satisfy my needs. I called every one thruout the year. Wished my BEST FRIENDS Happy B'day on their B'day. Even to all those who didnt wish me. Some were really surprised. Tanvi for example didnt imagine in her dreams that I will call her and wish her. Tanvi deserved this. She invited us on her bro's marriage and introduced us with every one at the marriage. It was too mcuh for me and Nitin. They treated us like we were some kind of VIPs. Every relative of Tanvi stood up from their seat. Even if he or she was elder to us. Same way she also invited me on her bro's marriage. She didnt even bothered me to introdouce to her bro. She really hurt me. But I still have that soft corner for her and Mah also knows about this. I have lost her. Biggest Loss of the year. I had only one thing to fiorget about this loss. Work 24 hours and I did the same. Result. I have pain in my back, that defeates the pain in my heart. Rising Blood pressure Leve and Stress. These all keep me fit, my back pains dont let me feel the void create by her loss. But I gained many things. I have more than 30 clients now. Own my own hosting account. More than 5 personal projects running. Will be soon launching dating site too. Can do more with PHP. Joined Chandigarh Linux users group. Got my own PAN card and first time in my life I filed ITR. Bike. small team. My Fav color trousers :P. Bhabhi g is in Chandigarh and so is my niece to rule the place. No more botheration of kitchen. Yes my sessions of Bacardi has reduced. I still dont know how will finish the bottle I have.Every one at home thinks am a pure Brahmin. Over all (leaving her and month of april) the year was good. Ccoming year is full of hopes. Nitin is in Canada. Kinfosysindia.com and Blue Reef wil start wrking jointly from next year Jan. too many projects in Pipe line. Too many hopes. Wish for the best. Happy B'day Kumar Chetan Sharma.
