I have been given an opportunity to write about myself :) I love it... so here we go... oh.. first thanks to Arch @ Rang,who has one of the mostest bestest blogs that I know of, for tagging me... though I am not a keen tagger or the tagged kinds, but I guess I will take this one :)
so here we go... Random things, 7 of them about me...
1) I have a feeling that I have written something of this sort before as well... some random facts about myself... but I don't know when or why...
3) I am very glad to see how my photography has improved in the last one year and I hope that this is just the beginning...
2) There is a break in my travel for the last two months, and the thought makes me very restless and uneasy. Now that I am back in India, I have to have to go out of Delhi and Chandigarh (to the hills or somewhere else) But I have to... and an official visit to Bangalore DOES not count anymore...
6) I very seriously considered closing down the Chai Ki Dukaan a week ago, because of how one person interpreted my writing on the blog... but I just woke myself up to the fact, that I have always written for myself and not for anyone. I am fortunate, that there are a few people who like to visit Chai ki Dukaan regularly and share their opinions here...But the fact still remains that I write for myself, however selfish that might sound...
4) I have not yet given half of my prize money to Sankalp and I don't like it... I am going to something about it, and will do something to make it up for the delay too...
7) In the last one year, I have not stayed for 7 continuous nights at one place. This is strange but true :)
5) My shaadi.com profile got deactivated because of inactivity :D hehehe !!!! and the pictures that were there, were good enough to scare people away, though I loved those photographs...
And a random 8th thing... My opinions/judgments about people are based on my individual interactions with them and not because I heard/saw/read something about them... and I am kinda happy about that :)
Oh and the numbers are not in any sequence... random it was to be...

shaadi.com se yaad aaya these guys have come up with something like secondshaadi.com!
ReplyDeleteand hey..dukaan band mat karna yaar..
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post:-) and thanks for playing along on the tag:-)
ReplyDeleteI am completely with you on the one that one writes/blogs for one's own self and not for others.
Yaay!!
Would love to see your Shaadi.com profile;-D
Thanks for sharing:-))
How can anything like closing down the shop come to your head? Good that you woke up to that fact....the fact that you have reminded yourself of so many things that you still need to do is good enough for a start. Keep shining.

ReplyDelete=> "shaadi.com se yaad aaya these guys have come up with something like secondshaadi.com!"
Nope. The guys at shaadi.com have not come up with secondshaadi.com. secondshaadi.com is a product of a couple of guys from ISB, Hyderabad.
Oh btw, why would you recommend secondshaadi to a person who does not even have a remote chance of firstshaadi unless of coz he's met some gori mem in London.
Whats going on in your mind?? its deeper than just the random numbers and thoughts....
ReplyDeleteAND U SERIOUSKY THOUGHT OF CLOSING DOWN THE CHAI KI DUKAAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DO NOT EVEN THINK OF DOING THAT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!

ReplyDeletePB: Bravo... needless to say good post, a lot of inside abt you which we wudnt have known otherwise... cud it have been more intimate... just getting greedier i guess :) keeep blogging
bhai wo 6 number pe jo attitude tha wo mast tha - muje us phrase ki yaad aa gayi - "apna haath jagannath" ;) :D
ReplyDeletebhai wo number 3 wale pe mein bi bada glad tha - meri shagirdi mein tussi nikhar rahe ho :D
haan bhai - number 2 wala - have to have to - and i need to take so many leaves in april, usko dhyan mein rakhna padega
36% per annum ka interest rate chal raha hai - number 4 pe
aur kuch random points hain mere dimag mein jo mein content censor karra tha - isliye yaha nahi likh paya :D
aur mein soch ra tha - apna blog re-start kardun, sexual short-stories ka collection banata hun, kya kehta hai? :D
Nice !!!
ReplyDeleteits nice to know random things about people some come up with real random stuff !!
i would like to comment on 6
Blog is your oersonal place..u can do what you want but then it shouldnt get so personal that u start to complain about your loved one here and people get to comment on what he/she did. After all people are people everyone has their own opinion which needs to be respected. They comment on only what you have said which is again very one sided :))
Anyways whoever said whatever..you pls continue Chai ka dukan..its beautiful lovely a cool stress buster...Keep the good work going
hmm sahi hai......dont tell me u were counting ur trip to bang as ur monthly out of station trip.....u can do better.........
ReplyDelete@ Slip....
ReplyDelete:) thanks... what are you looking for?
# Burf...
shukriya for your comments :D
kar shuru...
# Anony...
I partially agree with you on that... When I talk about the so called loved ones, I would never take names and talk only about what I felt... and I guess I can do that on a page which is one place where I am the most honest...
As far as respecting opinions are considered, it cannot be generalised... I don't respect every opinion about myself ! I rather not !!!
When I am saying nice things... I would take names open in public...
thanks :)
# Deepak...
May'07 ki trip bhai... that was counted... thats why no more bangalore in the trips anymore... I was to go to hampi or somewhere that time, but Subbu was not well and we ended up roaming around the town itself...
something which we donno about you... photography and all we all know that u getting better day in and day out
ReplyDeleteun saare ool jalool khayalon ko spnon mein se nikaal ke baahar phekon..nahi jaate tou mujhko batao...kuch karega big time phir...
ReplyDelete...and Om...tere burf se milne ka hai pakka..lolz..ha ha ha ha

ReplyDelete# Slip...
ReplyDeletehmm... a few things, rather a lot of things, are better left unsaid :)

# ThatWasIt...
nikaal diya...
Burf se... zaroor :D he is fun !!
# FighterJet...

am not recommending secondshaadi.com to u, it was jus a random passing thought :p
ReplyDelete# Elusive...
ReplyDeleteTHANK God :) the thought passed :)
Oooohhh YOU considered SHUTTING the dukaan!
ReplyDeleteAcha hua yaad aa gaya tujhe ki blog pe apne liye likhta hai :P
Maine apne blogs pe sabse pehle apne liye likhti hun...and I don't think that is selfish.
Prize money de de unhe :)
In the last one year, I have not stayed for 7 continuous nights at one place. KYA FACT HAI. *taaliyan*
shaadi.com profile ha ha ha
Random numbers nice :P
# Reeta...
ReplyDeleteyea.. i did... got a li'il bogged down by a few things and statements made... but i am back as usual now :)
Prize money dena hai.. jaldi hi kuch na kuch karna hai...
Bahut amazing fact hai wo!!! I thought I should put that on record, so i did :D
LoL @ Shaadi.com profile :)
yea... nice random numbers :P
nothing in particular........ told u was just imagining things... respect your privacy... :)
ReplyDelete# Slip...
ReplyDeleteokie :)
Nice or not nice...there is always a line that needs to be drawn when it comes to personal matters. You cant possibly bring your partners fights to your blog..and let people have their comments on them. How would he/she feel if he/she reads your blog
ReplyDelete# anony...
ReplyDeletefair enough... thanks for your comments...
may i please laugh ...even if I hurt you....
ReplyDeletetere vodka ki kasam... ruka nahi ja raha...
# Aro...
ReplyDeletekiski maut aai hai jo teri hasi roke :D
has has !!!
how can u close the chai ki dukaan when even a non-teadrinker comes by
ReplyDelete# bilbo...
ReplyDeletemy apologies :) the thought has been trashed...
I have not been out of town from 26th Dec and I am feeling like being caged...I can understand how it feels.
ReplyDelete@Shaadi profile:: Ek baar to kar ke dekho yaar...acchi na lage to dobara mat karna. :P
Hi Prashant
ReplyDeleteI am one of the frequent visitors to your blog, although i dont drop in comments.
I remember one of you friends wrote loong back, that its a part of his daily sched to come and check on the blog. Same here.
It is the fact that you write for urself that makes this place quite so unique. But unkonowingly u have gotten others addictive to it too.
So please sirji, kisi ke kuch bhi sochne pe aap kripya chai ki dukaan chalne dein ye vinamra anurodh hai.
:))
# Nitin...
ReplyDeleteoh you bet... its tough !!!
hehehe... thanks for the million dollar suggestion...
# Reema...
I am very glad that you wrote here... and thank you for being regular at the chai ki dukaan...
Prashant so cute!!!! I know guys hate being called cute- but I was smiling through this piece. What I like about the way you write is your effortless honesty. Seedha saaf. baki duniya saari- including me, jhoothi lagti hai iske saamne :)
ReplyDeleteThe other thing I realised when i read this post is- I should come to your 'Chai ki dukaan more often :)
# Vineeta...
ReplyDelete:) thanks :)
and you are right... i am NOT cute :D
Thank you for the kind words... really... makes me feel real good about myself !!! thank you Vineeta...
And yes, you should come and visit the Chai Ki Dukaan more often :) you are more than welcome here :)
