A New Year – A New Dawn.......

Another year passed by leaving its Trail on the Dust road of my Life. A very eventful year, full of ups and downs, but I must be honest with myself as ups outnumbered downs. The year started with the last examinations (hope so) of my life, the fourth sem of MBA, followed by a big holiday as that was the period between the end of my academic life and starting of my professional life, a Wholesome Holiday of Four Months!!!!!!!!! Just returning back from Mumbai, I was on a Social Trail (me, the Big Social Monster) which started with attending my flat mate’s sister’s wedding, again a great fun as all friends were there in the Lake City of Udaipur. We had lot of Daaru-Shaaru at the Lake Side and had a gala time over there. Then the social monster in me proceeded to attend a second marriage, again of one my ol’ pal’s sister’s wedding in Kota, a place where I spent three fun filled years of my life, err..... those were my Graduation days. Again Daaru was Flowing like the river Ganges in full throttle at its origin in mountains, near Hrishikesh. The time initially passed out well but started getting tiresome and boresome in between the Holidays as majority of time I was just Orkutting. Pitying on me, my parents took me to Bikaner for a Dekko !!!!!!!!!! As the end was approaching nearby I got a fresh lease of life with my friends wedding, the Eternal Gruesome BANIYA (uh oh Sandeep Garg for some of you) on the last patch of the holidays, it was great fun and I was there in complete attendance and need not say the booze and all which followed generously !!!!!!!!!!

Around my “Happy Buddaayyyyyy” time I left for Mumbai again to start a new chapter in my life, my professional life. I arrived in Mumbai and went through all the required training shraining and induction and was provided with an accommodation in a Hotel, not so good – not so bad type !!!!!!!!! Around came the day when I entered my office and started working. There wasn’t as much work initially and was just acclimatizing to the working environs and slowly it picked up and I started on full throttle, feeling the Heat. The time passed by and I was enjoying it as I had a so called Good Profile in hand and had made a new set of friends at my workplace, a really nice small group and then suddenly came the MUNAMI (Merger Tsunami) Whoosh.......... gone was everything and I felt like I landed up somewhere on a Big Big Island, probably that was bigger than my Mainland; alienated I felt the pinch, the pain deep inside but kept my undying hopes up high and really high like on the top of the mast of my wrecked boat. Well today I won’t write about it anymore, otherwise I will sound like an eternal Cry Baby.

See the God’s Wrath!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well in between the time from my joining till the beginning of winters, I didn’t do much of great work but yes indulged myself in some Extraordinary Spending as now I had the power of Plastic Money, the Silent Killer, the Credit Card !!!!!!! Well between that I just did one good thing as I shopped for some presents for my family members. I enjoyed all the parties and threw quite a few gala parties even. A special mention goes to my trip to Lonavala/Khandala with my roomies (special reference and thanks to Bubu), it was an unplanned one but a good outing from the stressful life of Mumbai.

Around the year end came my Sister’s Wedding, the most Graceful, Challenging and Emotional Event of one’s life. The wedding was a Grand Occasion and turned out to be a Much Grander than Imagined Event. The turnout was unexpected from all side, meaning many people turned in to grace the occasion from my Father’s side, my Mother’s side, from my side and of course my Sisters side; everybody was in full attendance, be it Family friends or my friends. Feeling proud to say that many of my friends turned up despite their busy schedules and I appreciate their courage to face the Imminent Fearsome Monster of their Bosses.

Among the attendees Bhanu & Hemu deserve a special mention as they ferried others with great Enthu and equal warmness and came the retro funk, going by the name of Rohit Kaul or shall I say Rohit Cool with all his collection of Trance, revving up and making people groove to his tunes. From Bombay came the Party Animals, Anu and Mehul to liven and lighten up the moment, Grooving to Hip Hop, Spreading Cheers and Spilling Wine and along came Bubu, as usual at his funniest best. A Friend came in from Down South of country, Chennai, Nikin, a Man in Black or shall I say Man – All Black, enjoying and partying all the way !!!!!!!!! and I am still wondering why he took the flight, when he could Fly and save the Money. Friends came in from Fastidious Delhi, Racing Gurgaon, laid back Deoli, and good ol’ Kota, Ballu Dada from Delhi, looking sexy as ever but please don’t pay attention to his Receding Hairline leaving his Biwi Darling alone in the Capital; Devendra, The Bhow Bhow came, leaving his F****** Studies and all the Sister Darlings; Hitesh, our Garibon ka Salman Khan from Deoli again leaving his Biwi Darling and Daughter Darling back at Home and Manish from Kota bringing in his loads of Smile and spreading his Cheerful Smile all the way. The para, although quite a long one will remain totally incomplete if I forget to mention Surendra, The Baantu: King of Baantu Tribesmen who was by my side from day one, helping me in pursuing all the petty work.

The year has come to an end and please dont ask me about my New Year Party as I was F****** Pigeonholed in my Home, all thanks to my Party Pauper (really, i mean it..... who else my Saviour in Mud Laden Armour, the Great Bubu) apart from a short stint my Bachchi presented to me but even that to No Avail as we hit the road and came back as everybody else was feeling sleepy. Finally I spent my 31st reading a novel, in my bed.

A New Dawn...........

Although its not so bright outa here, sitting in Office and Writing but still a New Dawn has set in on the Horizon, bringing the Ray of Hopes, a Quantum of Hopes in all direction, in my personal life, my professional life and my social life.

This New Year, 2008; May the Almighty Shower Lots of Happiness and Prosperity in Lives of All !!!!!!!!!

Amen...............
