3 years in US...

These last few days have been really hectic. Time is flying ..
With a blissful engaged life, added responsibilities ,career concerns and associated struggle and hard work.. everything has been piled up and 24hours really seem less.

With so much to do , so much to look forward to ..I nearly fgt this day..27th July..
Today I will be completing 3 yrs in US...I can definitely say its been a whirlwind experience..I was waiting for this day since a while. In the first week of July I was planning to write up something specially dedicated to these 3 years of my life.

and as I sad it can be..Today m really feeling bad that I cannot devote as much time and energy that I really wanted to write an article for this day. Anyways, my dad called me write now saying "beta tula jaaon aaa 3 wersha jhale" I could definitely feel the heat in thr..He was really feeling sad about this whole thing. At least I guess so..it was not about my career/life it was me being away from the family..these few imp years when I really should be with them....

anyways, I wonder if all this is the best that I could offer them for all that they have done for me..sacrificed for my well being.. I wish I can go back to des as soon as possible and be with them for time to come, compensate for the lost times...

Apart from this front, life seems to have been playing a fair game. Looks green for now,I hope it does. Apart from all the good things that I have witnessed I believe meeting my life partner has been the biggest and most important phase. Soon we will be completing 1 year of committed relationship. Cant believe but its True..it feels just yesterday that we met and next month it will be one full yr !! I am so happy that I found her. She has been a loving/caring and one of the most understanding person in my life. She accepts Nikhil, with his my eccentric traits and even praises a few of them that even I wonder ..why ??? I love you dear..

All in all it will be difficult to phrase my feelings in words....
Happy for being with my partner, Vandita, and having a blissful life.
Sad for not being with aai , baba , ketki and aaji..I miss you all..love you loads..

lets see what life has in store for us in the coming year..



PS: few days back my frnd forwarded this link:

US life.. 2

***Had writn this Blog long time ago..it was just saved and never published..Today was just cleaning my blog portal and wanted to post this one as it is..***



test

I am like the most FUKAT guy ever.
It was a hectic week altogether. Got up on friday around 7 am. was about to go for bath when it struck me about an I day...alrite I day in my office is " Sick - ill day " . nd yu can take as many number of I days in a year as yu want.( until your manager really looks back at you :P)
So took this holiday and totally had a ball at my place. basically did nothing and spent one day full at home doing NOHTING. So unlike what I am ..but yeah it was a welcome change.

Neways recently we had this huge discussion at our daily chore of evening walk. We all were talking against us :) .... Amazing aint it

So here it goes. Recently everyones family members are kinda looking for marriage. Everyone wants to get their son/daughter get married like asap. They want us to get serious on this topic and look "AROUND". Now when someone asks them how thr son/daughter is?? they start with thr whole thing..Yeah yeah every mom thinks that hes got the best son and every dad thinks that hes son is like the brightest kid around rather only guy with all the qualities bestowed. Not that its thr fault probably every parent thinks that way. Even they are totally aware that there are guys who are far too much talented than thr son, they kinda ignore that fact pretty nicely. nd they are good at it. So anyways, in this whole confusion of whether we are good or not..one question popped in our discussion.

Mom dad apart. Given a condition, that my friend has a sister. His family thinks that I am "good" guy and approaches my family for the same. NOW that my friend knows me so NICELY..he knows what I think ..what I do ...what I crave for ...what goes in my mind forever..he totally knows me...he has been an accomplice in all my crimes or atleast witnessed everyone of them. He knows how irresponsible I can be.. how spendthrift I can be !!!!! he knows all my "vices".. Would he still recommend that I am "good" guy !!!

After the heated debate we all decide that we wont and wud never suggest each other for our own sisters :))))

FRANK, that we are !!!!

Cheers

Somehting we learnt while in our schools...The IF factor..

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make allowance for their doubting too,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream--and not make dreams your master,
If you can think--and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings--nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much,
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And--which is more--you'll be a Man, my son!

wht she feels about me :((((

अब क्या बताएं मम्मी/दोस्तों !! वैसे लड़का हीरा है हीरा ! कमाने का क्या है अब आदमी जुए में रोज़ रोज़ तो जीत नहीं सकता है, कभी हांर भी जाता है| लेकीन लड़के की कीसमत बहुत अच्छी है| कभी कुछ बुरा नहीं कहता है| हाँ लेकीन दारू ऐसी चीज़ है की 1 बार अन्दर गयी तो फीर अच्छे बुरे का कहाँ धयान रहता है| वैसे ये ज्यादा दारू भी नहीं पीता लेकीन जब भी वो नाचने वाली के पास जाता है तो पता नहीं इसे क्या हो जाता है...पीता ही चला जाता है, कनट्रोल ही नहीं कर पाता है! मैं तो कहती हूँ की रीशते के लीए मुझे इससे अच्छा लड़का मिळना मुश्कील है| हाँ बस घर का ठीकाना नही है| उसका क्या है आज नहीं तो कल वो भी हो जायेगा| लेकीन लड़का हीरा है हीरा |

To the added responsibility

Its been more than 1 year working with Bloomberg and man was it not an amazing experience !! From the initial hiccups and trying to understand the environment to handling responsibilities, its been a whirlwind learning experience.

Today I got my first PARENT TREQ - Bloomberg lingo for a new project.
Not that I wasnt working for the past whole year but this time its more of a full blown project.Arranging meetings with clients/Business side/managers, gathering requirements ohh man it was fun.

Lets see how all this works out...

Cheers.
