Object of desire!


After a great deal of study and comparison between apple Ipod Nano and Creative Zen, I finally choose later yesterday! I was so restless that I couldn't stop myself from uploading music files and listening to them on my new player.
After few hours og listening, I know I was not wrong. I have used my friends' ipod before but I found this toy(creative zen) scoring over it. It has many additional functions such as FM, SD slot, file format support etc. which Ipod lacks. I'm quite happy now.....

A great service Experience!

We don't really have to shell out a few thousand rupees to experience a great service!
I had been to this small roadside but famous hotel a while back for lunch. This is really a basic place which server two types of Thalis. One is limited thali which costs 30 bucks and contains 3 chapatis, 2 subjis, dal and rice. The other one is unlimited which costs 40.
I was not really sure about my appetite and hence ordered a limited one.
As soon as the thali came and I started eating, I felt like I was hungry for 2 decades.
I kept on ordering chapatis. (I ate 9 of them!)
When I was about to finish my lunch, the waiter who served me came to me and asked me if he can convert the thali to unlimited as I would unnecessarily spend more money(6X3=18 more rupees on chapatis)
I said it's fine(felt gr8 to save 8 bucks). He not only deed that but also brought me a plate of sweet which was a part of the unlimited thali.
I don't care about saving 8 bucks and getting a sweet plate but I was so overwhelmed by his courtesy and genuine homeliness while serving that couldn't resist myself from blogging the experience down!

Straight from the gut!

I'm a guy who grew up in a joint family with a lot of(around 20) people around. During my school days, I never had to care for anything as I never faced any emotional block.
This gave me an advantage of being a social person but didn't exactly made me emotionally independent. I was happy with my truly happy life till the time I had to leave my house for a job.
I thought I was ready to take any challenge as my thinking was confined to my family but things turned out to be different when I started off with managing myself.
I went to Hyderabad with a great deal of ambitions and expectations from myself . I was heading quite fine with my path but somehow I was not able to manage the emotional stress. It was difficult to end up emotional dependency of 21 years in just 6 months. Situation got worse when a girl came in and went away of my life.
We were friend(online) for quite a long time. I started to like being with her and we stuck the chord. We decided to meet but I was already smitten by her.
I was on the pick of joy and life seemed to be perfect.
Finally we met and things started turning out to be not what they seemed to be like. And after 2 months of emotionally straining relation, we(she) called it off.
That was a rude shock for me as I never imagined this to happen with me. When I look back now, I feel I lost a good friend while searching for virtual happiness of having a girlfriend. Life was too perfect to be a trouble when I was single and in myself.
Since then, I started over-analyzing things around and became bit reluctant to meet new people as I thought it would deepen the pain and affect my career. I started being afraid of relations that didn't exist.
Then I started working on it and decided to get back to life. I got a tremendous support from my friends, family and myself. The best thing that worked for me was the relocation to Mumbai from Hyderabad. It took me closer to my friend circle and family than quite an isolated life in Hyderabad.
Now, I'm back to normal life and enjoying it. Though I have not came out of depression fully, things are quite better now. There was a time a year back when my confidence was at it's peak, I think I would enjoy the same feeling soon.
I wish to thank my family and friends to help me coming out of the situation. I especially thank Amruta, Hrishikesh, Purushottam, Sanket and a new friend cum sister Ketki to help me move on. I have got a real good friend in this journey and I dedicate this post to her(Tanvee).
I learned a lot in this journey tat I did in 16 years of education. And the best part I learnt was not to expect anything from anyone and keeping life in perspective.

My Story(Diary!)

Well Guyz (n gals), finally I'm hooked up with blogging and guess I'm gonna get addicted to this.
Doesn't matter. So here we are, I'm going to start writting my diary over here, your reviews are welcome and let me know what mistakes and good deads I deed yesterday(Bcoz I'm gonna write yesterday's diary today.)
So let's get into it.

Yesterday seemed to be a pretty normal day at the beginning. I thought I'm gonna fuck another day in my life doing the same things all over again.
I started of with routine getting up-brush etc etc. , Then it was time to go to office. I took 11:47 train from Bhandup to reach Dadar.
Even the train didn't surprised me by reaching on time(It never does! Guess I'm cursed by Lalu). Thoughts it's gonna be a photocopy of all weekdays I experienced here, in mumbai.
I was really bugged up with work and though to take a break. The moment this though flashed up in my mind, I got a long awaited call from my sweet and Special friend(felt like the day was different and special :) ). We had a nice time over the phone. I guess I enjoy being with her.
Anyways, after a hardwork for 9 hours, it was time to leave. I left the office and got back into train.
Being an everyday commuter, I was pretty relaxed and in my thoughts. I took it for granted that the train will reach it's destination. Here was the first surprise I(and few of my co-passengers) got. Instead of Thane, the train headed towards a car-shed at some odd place.
It was 11 in the night. i had no clue of what to do. I started running from the place to reach the nearest station. I was running on the rail tracks with a great fear of being ran over by a train. It was an adventurous experience for me. I enjoyed it. Finally I reached nearest station which was a couple of kilometers away from the horror place where I was dropped by the train. I took a train and went back home.
While in Mumbai, you get quite a few chances to break the routine and experience something different and unconventional. I know it was not that great experience but at least it was not a clone of those boring days which u experience 364 days a year here, in Mumbai!

Hey Bloggers out there! Finally after a long time of reading blogs and wondering about what could be the origin of blogger's ideas, I finally decided to be a part of it and explore the answers on my own. I was never sure about my writing skills(and messed up essays during school exams! LOL). But I feel to experience the freedom of expression! There is something cool about it.

Anyways let me introduce myself. I'm Mayur, A person who doesn't know where he wants to go and think about every damn thing in this world as a lucrative career option for him. (LOL)

For my livelyhood, I work for a great company named Trikon Electronics, Mumbai as a Telecom/ Systems Engineer. Things are getting better these days as I have started exploring a bit of my real interests. Thanks to my company which gives me a lot of time to think about who am I?

I like socializing, singing, chatting, reading and a whole lotz of thing(Whole lotz of things! is a neurological problem I'm facing while choosing career, interests and girlfriends! LOL juz kidding)


I like making new friends and maybe thats the reason I'm out here. So let's be a part of Voyage called Brain-disorder!
