My Birthday Gift

Today I am going to tell you an universal truth about all guys and that is “Every normal guy has a secret dream girl about whom they never speak to anyone. ” This will always be a secret throughout his life and it ends with his death . Believe me, even if the guy is very innocent or decent or rogue this is the fact.

Most of us never tell our feelings to the girl but few are lucky who have enough courage to ask the girl. I am one among the majority of the people.

So the conclusion of these few lines is that there is a possibility of a secret dream girl for me. I’m wondering if this is related to my birthday gift!!!! The girl may be my Birthday Gift or something worse is waiting for me.

I know I am not the lucky person but I believe that I don’t have the worst luck …
But this time I was wrong.

I thought whenever I will go home I will let her know my feelings for her. I had planned to go home on 2nd September. I asked her to meet me at my favorite place FS on 3rd sep’s eve. I was counting days.

But on Sunday morning I got a call from one of our common friend. She said: “Manish, I have a news for you.”
I replied - “What.. You want my address to send My birthday Gift?.”
She didn’t speak a word for next two minutes and then said :- “Manish, She Died .“
I was not prepared for this news, I disconnected the call and thought…..
“Tujhse Naraz Nahi Zindagi .. Hairaan hoo main ”

I asked myself: “Is this my Birthday Gift ?”

One Year of Life

One year at Satyam ….

Was it good or bad ?
Should I celebrate it or not ?
Should I laugh on myself or cry ?

Whatever it was … Today is my destiny. I can only feel the relief of writing these lines from office as many from our batch (People who joined Satyam on same date as fresher) are not able to do that in current condition.
In last one year I went home twice and I changed my residential address 5 times, I lived in Three different cities of three different states of India.

1.Hotel Mahaveer Palace , Secunderabad ( Andhra Pradesh) Duration: 10 Days
2.Aravali 5 , STC , Bahadurpally , Hyderabad (AP) Duration: 30 Days
3.Vindhya 6, , STC , Bahadurpally , Hyderabad (AP) Duration: 3 Months
4.Plot Number XXX, Near IIMB , BannerGatta Road , Bangalore (Karnataka) Duration: 1 Month
5.Mayur Nagri , Sanghvi , Pune (Maharashtra) Duration: 3 Months
6.Vasant Utsav ,Hinzawadi, Pune (Maharashtra): Duration: from last 4 Months

What will you call it ?

In technical point of view:-
I learned too much of technical things. According to VL it is all useless but for me it is as good as college life.
I learned how to copy(Correct) code from one (Correct) place and paste it to other (Correct) place.
I can’t believe that Whatever I implemented in last one year was either taught by NM or nobody ; )
I wrote the first program of more than 50 lines or Second of any kind(First was “Hello World” in First year) in SATYAM IN THE FIRST WEEK OF TRAINING. And now I don’t even check for lines’ count.
I never use cryptography, Networking router, any algorithm for searching/Shortest path/substring …. I believe that MICROSOFT and GOOGLE are taking care of all these things and when I work for Google/Microsoft/Cisco I will recall them.

In non technical point of view:-
I almost failed. I was not able to make new good friends not a single one in last year… But I am in touch with almost all of My College friends. This is possible because of “MNIT-COMPSKI” group. Thanks to Google team.
I didn’t call few of them for the last few months. I want to say sorry to all of them.
I don’t know whether I hate The Company or Love it.
I started writing blog [http://MyLostShadows.blogSpot.com]
I started twittering [http://Twitter.com/jn_jain] and facebook.
I bought a bike[Bajaj XCD 135].

Misc:-
I am still working on my book “2NP763427” but I don’t know when it will be completed.
I met a few people from my college life again except those who were in SATYAM (Anant, Shardole, Shantanu, Anshat, Amaresh, Saajan, Sanjeev, GT , Hemant Jindal, Paretha, Talwar, Nitish, Anand Meena, Pankaj Daandaliya, Poojari)
I still missed the opportunity to meet other peoplebut that was completely intentional except Abhi.
I am still choosy in calling my home.
I stopped doing “Bhasad”.
I travelled few places like Shirdi, Mahabaleshwar, Sinhgarh Fort, Ajanta caves.
I still change my status message frequently in office communicator[again a Microsoft product].

And Finally Situation was that much worse that I wrote my previous Post “Vidayi”.

So after one year I am still a physically alive human being struggling in non-human world but I still have a few moments of Laugh every day.

<---Manish--->
The World is just awesome.

Vidaayi

Ek hawa ke jonke se
Yaaro ki mehfil bah jaayegi
Socha Na tha...

Haste Muskaraate Chehre
Kab kho jaayenge
Socha Na Tha.......

Boondein palko pe aakar
Kabhi yu ood jayegi
Socha Na Tha.....

Zindagi yu U-Turn
Legi aisa kabhi
Socha Na Tha.....

Ek Ek kar sabhi ko
chorahe tak le jaayenge
Kuch hua hi na ho jaise
Apne raaste chale jaayenge
Socha na tha....

Aaahista- aahista Saansein
Rookne ka dard Jeete ji
Kabhi mehsoos bhi karenge
Socha Na Tha....
Socha Na Tha....

Office Hours

Usually every company’s office period is for 9 hours. Typical timings are from 9 O’ Clock in the morning to 6 O’ clock evening. But our office timing is 9 to 6:30 ;) officially. As you know this is very long time and it is very tough to pass this time even when you have work or not. If you don’t have work then it is obvious that you are not able to pass time but If someone has work then s/he normally pass time till 6:30 than starts working and It is very normal that in any IT company 70% of work is done after working hours which is only 20% of total working time and quite interesting is that it is not paid.

How people pass these paid time.

Starts with 9 hours 30 minutes (570 Minutes)
Everyone has to sign in before 10:30 am (90 minutes late to actual time)
Remaining Time 480 minutes

Anyone can sign-out after 5 pm(again 90 minutes before time)
Remaining Time 390 Minutes

Official Lunch time is 1 PM to 2 PM
But people start discussing about it at 12noon and reach cafeteria at 12:30 only but it doesn’t affect the end of Lunch Time that is always 2 PM or some time 2:30
I assume it as 2:15
Time in lunch is 12 to 2:15 (135 minutes)
Remaining Time 255 minutes

At least 2 coffee breaks of 30 minutes each(60 minutes)
Remaining Time 195 minutes.

Still We have 195 minutes that is more than 3 hours.

For this 3 hours people usually spend in various activities although these all are useless for company for which they are working for and the most Important is company is paying for it. What are these activities ?
Let’s Start :-
• * Blogging :- Most of the guys write the post in 9 Minutes(Maddy) to 2-3 hours(Bagga) but they forget to mention the editing time which is far more than the writing time. You will not believe that some are editing the html code of blog template. (30 minutes)
• * PakUrdu/Gupshup :- In short these are the online communities which discuss or gupshup about Osama to Jardari to Pakistan to Naseebo.
• * News :- It is like everyone is preparing for IAS and spending time in reading articles perhaps the time is more than the time which they spent in preparing exam in entire college Life.
• * Finance desk : Some are busy in making and analyzing charts of stock markets.
• * One of the worst time pass if any international cricket match is going on than many will refresh the news page 100’s of time to get the live score. (15 minutes minimum)
• * Some Read Novels. (average 5 minutes)

I forgot to mention the time passed in checking forwarded emails and in forwarding those mails to others. (30 minutes)
Communicator chat time !! (15 minutes)
Google time pass !! (assume 30 minutes)
Reading others blog(10 minutes)

Remaining time (195 – 30 -15 – 30 – 15 – 30 – 10) = 65 Minutes 

So finally our office hour is limited to around “ONE HOUR”
Still talking with friends is remaining……
So Have fun at Office while being Paid 

The Most Boring post of the World !

This is after very long time when I am writing on this blog. Actually I was busy in doing nothing at my company. Today also I am doing nothing but I thought I should write something which is related to no one but everyone wants to get it, read it. I don’t know what am I going to write and what people will understand and what they will take meaning of this, I have completely no idea about it.

If you feel this is the end of this post than you are wrong but if you think that the post is not ended yet and there would be some useful things will come up that can make you rich than you are completely more than wrong. But I know that some have not reached beyond this line. So I want to congrats all the people who are still managing their mind. You know one thing that is, If someone reading, S/He must not have mind in correct condition because if the person who wrote this doesn’t use brain in writing this than how can any person with brain can become fool.

Ok, Now come to the point, But first you should understand why should we go to point ? Is it compulsory to go to the point If we can gather in a circle. Ok, No more puzzling . Actually I am writing this to kill my time and kill your time. I believe I am completely Passed in my aim. What do you thing am I not?

I know, Now you are either Laughing or Crying or Shouting. You may be in any condition But I am sure that you are not in Normal condition. So I request you please don’t come to my place to beat me. You can put your anger in form of comments but again I guess you are not in that condition. Are you?

Oh My god, You are still reading. Now I can believe that My post is not more boring than you. I am happy now but I think you are not happy. Don’t try to make yourself happy because anyone can read your face now that you are not the one which you are trying to show you are.

This is only the first degree torture, If you want to get 2nd and 3rd degree you can read this post 2 or 3 times respectively.

I don’t know whether this is the most boring post of the world or not but It’s up to you to tag it as the same.

Last but not least, Don’t be panic as you all have medical insurance by the Company “Wahi Jiska Naam Nahi Liya Jaata” (Line Taken from Harry Potter)

Dreams - "The weird Imagination"

Today I am going to talk about dreams, Don't go to other meaning like Goal, Aim of life etc. Dream is thing which we see after sleeping. These dreams are more weird than what you can imagine. and I believe It is true. There are different people who believes that dream is nothing but whatever you want to think or whatever is in your heart etc etc. I don't know whether it is true or not. May be sometime it becomes true But I saw a dream 5 days ago which is completely weird and unexpected for me as that thoughts never came to my mind before.

So I am recalling the dream -
I was going to satyam office I saw Maddy at the main gate of company's office . I asked her "Why are you angry? Is there any problem?" I just completed this line and she started crying and said, "You know manish that my weight is growing like anything, Even my husband has started teasing me now. He is saying that I am in nervous nineties so be careful and make Century. So I decided to join Gyn." " Than, what is the problem. Go to Gym. I am sure you will lose at least 30 -40 kg within a month if you will start dieting." I replied.
"My Boss RAGHU is a problem. He is from Our batch only, still he is not giving any relaxation of timing in morning. Raghu The waste fallow, Who made him Boss, I want to kill that guy."

Now we are in office busy in doing some work. suddenly we saw that a guy in formal white shirts and black Jeans shouting on guard for attendance, saying How can you mark abscent for me? I am only two hours late. You don't know how to handle kids. I have three. and...... bla bla bla .... (I forgot) There was a parents meeting in school so i came late..... again bla bla bla…
After some time he came to my place and said - " Yaar Manish , Dhadi Maja aayaa aaj to, Chotu ke school gaya tha .. Kya patackha teacher thi Maja aa gaya."
I said "Yeah sodde ko koi nahi samjha sakta."

I forgot the next part of dream. after some time Alarm started ringing and that's the end of my dream.

I never thought like this but it came in dreams. Little weird :)
