"The real test of friendship is the comfort in silence together..."
(Sid/Snickle/OM/Pete/Prashant; 30-Aug-06)

And I am fortunate enough to have a few friends who can co-exist around me without an iota of intrusion in my privacy and my space...

God Bless them...

Amen !!!

This is what you do..

Go to my site : http://rightmore.6te.net

LoNg TiMe....

When I came to office on the 21-August 2006... I completed 2 years with the Bharti Account... the longest I have stayed with a firm!!!

While I am happy about all the learning I got in these two years about a completely new line of service, IT Service Management, I am also thinking of what exactly is there in future with IBM...

It’s a question that I could keep asking myself, while time slowly moves by, a few birthdays come in, and some more milestones at work get achieved!!!

Have you ever wondered why a day without sunlight is depressing?

wHiLe GeTTiNg LEH'ed...

Darling, I like you but not so fast...

On my curve, hold your nerve...

Don't test my curves, enjoy them...

What do you think are these?

These are some sentences which I was listening to while getting Leh'ed.... some things make perfect sense... hehehehe....

Actually these are signs put up by the Border Roads Organization on various roads in Ladhakh :) Needless to say that BRO has done something on the Hills that no other agency can do... hats off to them for making the roads, and bridges in places where its hard to even breathe...


Yes they are very very interesting... and catch your attention without doubt...



One more that I remember was:

Better be Mr. Late then Late Mr.

another sign that told us about the attitude BRO lives with was:

If its impossible, it will take sometime,
It its difficult it will be done immediately...

~Thank you Golgappas for giving me the much needed comfort
~Thank you Manish and DT for getting me the Golgappe ka Paani from Agarwals on Wednesday...
~Thank you Tushar for taking me to the 5 tarah ke paani wala Golgappe wala in sector-26 on Thursday...
~Thank you Sayantani and Richa for letting me not talk much in the last week...
~Thank you Mayuri, for holding on to your horses, who were really keen to hear my Sekcie voice...
~Thank you Aditya, for taking care of most of the office work while I was coughing and swearing away to glory in the office...
~Thank you Ravi, for asking me to record the Helpdesk IVR even though my throat was not too good... and actually keeping it so that all the people who call in hear my voice all throughout before someone picks up the phone....
~Thank you Mom and Dad for shouting at me for not taking care of my health while you were not feeling well either... I love you the most in this world...

~Thank you Radha, for being patient for the last four days, when I could not take you out for our scheduled drives together...

Phew.... now for the regular weekend saga post...

Friday night....
Dham Dham Dhadam Dhadaiyya re....
Sabse Bade Ladaiyyaa re...

OMKARA !!!

-Saif Ali Khan rocks.... Langda Tyagi is what I can watch his movie for again!!!
-Ajay is as usual intense and deep.... fantastic...
-Bipasha is a total misfit in the movie... for the first time in my life I missed Mallika Sherawat... she could have done the role so bloody well!!!
-Kareena as usual I do not care about... I totally ignore her!!! But do you also think that she looks like someone who was buried in ice for ages and then came out white?
-Vivek... phew... totally sidelined... and useless...
-The accent and the dialect... LOVED IT... something that I use more often then not, being used in the movie over and over again... made it so bloody interesting...

Saturday and Sunday were lazy!!! Met Deepak yesterday to plan for Leh.. pretty much know what all I need to pack now.... bought some stuff from sector-18 for the trip too...

On Sunday I made a collage... not the best that I can do... but decent enough for a 4 hour work...

DiReCt DiL Se... II

conductor ji conductor ji...zara mujhe bhi ticket dijiye, thoda dhyaan idhar bhi badaiye...
sunder sunder ladkiyon ke siwa bhi to kahin aakhen gadaiye !!!

police uncle police uncle... thoda dhaayn hamari suraksha par bhi to dijiye...
saare din hafta vasooli karke, raat to tharra pikar na soya kijiye...

dukandaar bhai dukandaar bhai... pyaaj itti costly kaise ho gai...
kya saari ki saari kheti aur production paper par bani development schemes mein kho gai?

media uncle media uncle... prince pipe mein phas gaya hai...
jaldi se jao, exclusive coverage do, ye topic ekdum fresh aur naya hai...

kahin aisa na ho ke competitor channel wale wahan par aa jayen...
aur aapke channel se pehle, khud hi ek sms contest chala jayen !!!

chalo ek naya sms contest chalate hain...
pata karte hain ke kaunsi chauki ke police wale kitna hafta khate hain....

jitni bhi rakam jama hogi usko bank mein dalwa dena,
in policewalon ko goli maarkar unke "next of kin" mein barabar barabar batwa dena...

arre wo dekho, rakhi ka ek naya scandal saamne aaya hai...
uski bikini ka piece, dilli ke 5 sitara hotel mein lawaris kisi ne paaya hai...

ab agle do din aap uski live aur exclusif coverage dikhao...
rakhi ki ek saari 25 bikini's mein kaise convert hui, wo zara janta ko samjhao !!!

mere desh ke honhaar TV channels walon... tum par mujhe naaz hai...
jo tumhaari aawaaj banke nikle wahi mere desh ki aawaaj hai...

bhale hi pramod mahajan par goli kyon maaari gai uska kissa ho...
ya kisi bade politician ke bete ki lifestyle par shoot kiye gaye exclusif videos ka hissa ho !!!

lago raho aur aage le jao mere bharat ko !!!
dil se na laga lena meri gusse se bhari choti si shararat ko !!!

aNd... i sTiLL BeLiEvE...

I have been a very very firm believer in the fact that I am going to get what I deserve and if you are not an ethical person, you will get your punishment... at work... in life... anywhere...

But time and again, I see people who play around with Ethics grow up and the ones, who are true to themselves and ethical, stay where they are without anyone noticing them or the hard work they put in...

Well...

I still am a very very firm believer....

PeOpLe MeEt... & TaLk... & Go...

I have been randomly clicking around in the last one week....
The rains, the winds, the clouds, the sun have all helped me get some decent shots... and the phone camera helped me capture them...

Here are a few for your viewing pleasure... for anyone who thought NCR is not naturally beautiful, this is the time to rethink :)

The sky over Gurgaon last to last week...

The sky over Yamuna, yesterday evening... and over my house a couple of days ago...

Rain Drops... and me driving through them... makes life interesting and more colourful for sure...

Now to my regular scheduled Weekend Saga Posts :)

Saturday started late... and ended late too... and between these two times, I met some of the best people I have ever met online... the occasion : Sayantini's farewell... oops... did I spell it wrong... yes I did... it was Sayantani's Farewell that we all met for...

But before that I met Lalit and Deepti with Deepak and went to Chandni Chawk for two of the best things that Delhi allows you to do...
1) Travel in the Metro
2) Eat the Kulfi Faluda @ Giani's near Fatehpuri Masjid

the purpose of this visit was to purchase a filter, a Polariser for Deepak's Camera and a few ( 30 to be precise) film rolls and Batteries for myself... post this meet and quick visit to Old Delhi, I moved on to meet up the other gang @ IHC...

Kidda Kiddi were already there with BM (thats not how I write about them), so I guess I would re-write...

Rohit and Richa were already there with Sayan, and I was the fourth to join... Then came Deepak, followed by Akash, Ankur and finally Anku... This was the same Gang that met for a lunch in Taste of China a few months back!!! talks, photos, conversations, laughter, hugs, smiles, food, chaat, emotions, gifts, words, diaries, CDs, Paper, Pencil followed... and we probably met Sayan for the last time before she leaves for the US of A on the 9th of August... What is she going to do there is a different story and would be told later...

She was kind enough to write a few words about everyone she met on her page too... click here to read it... and in the process she also made me very happy by telling everyone that I was her personal laughter machine, and disappointed me by not writing a few things she has always said about me, which are usually about non-stop conversations and the pictures that I click... how I will go ahead and take a revenge is another story as well... will tell later :)

So this was it about the farewell meet... next was a looooong conversation with Anku, which was long pending... there were quiet a few things that we had to discuss and we did... all ending at a very good note...

So in all... I met a lot of people that day... all of them my online friends except one... never knew that Internet would be this interesting... thanks Orkut...

and Sunday saw me not speaking much with a bad throat which has continued till today too... have been trying all the desi nuskhas to keep myself fine... and it has worked well too... so all in all, its has been nice for the past few days !!!

So long!!! Will catch you later...
