This year's Raksha Bandhan was a special occasion for me as i had gifted my sister bicycle from my own pocket. It was astonishingly satisfying and i felt good abt myself...
til abt half a week back, Chaitra my sister was still on one foot while on bicycle... and all of a sudden a few days back, she had none of her 2 small feet on ground! Yes. She had learnt to cycle... :)
While she was learning she fell many times.. few times in the same place... yet she stood up and tried her best to learn... and today she has learnt...
All i can say is Its worth the fall.... :)

Funny Incident in College
I was online, googling and was totally engrossed in it along with chatting with my friend who was sitting besides me... and suddenly.. i heard a cry for help from behind...followed by huge burst of laughter !!!It was in my College, Computer Networks Lab !!
And the cause of the cry from behind was a small 3.5 inch long RAT !!! hehehe :D
Yes!! It was a rat...
As i turned back, the poor rat which had got into the last row of the lab was puzzled by us the people in its home :D so it had to take drastic measures to escape from people who were actually scared of it... lol
its always strange that smallest of things give us biggest of trouble...
Most of my classmates were jumping around their seats when the rat headed towards them... few MEN came fwd to SOLVE the situation.. but alas, their bravery was short lived as the rat came near them, they jumped with all the fear in the world !!
And then the rat was getting tired.. but it could nt stop, it had to try to escape.. and we had to get rid of it...
all in all it was a catch 22 situation....
ther was a lot of chaos in the lab for those 10 minutes... while the people who were near the rat were scared, others enjoyed the weakness of their peers... each taking turns...
While all this was going on , i had returned back to my companion lovely old google :) but... somethng drived me to join the fun and enjoy the moment...
so i set out to do somethng...i didn know wat to do initially... bt i realised only thng whch i can do is to CATCH the RAT :) yes... i really wanted to catch the rat and put it in a safe place...
so i took the last page of my only note book i had brought to class, and went in search for the little mice..
within 2-3 minutes... i was able to corner it and then bring it out in open and i put my paper over it and carefully caught it by the tail .... :) then friends took few snaps of me slong with the rat :) :)
i put it out of lab in a safe place away...
Mouse happy and we also happy :) :)
When i came back into the lab... i was cheered by a round of applause .. made me feel gud...
:) Thanks to the rat, i found a reason to smile.....

Small Glimpse of Joy
As is my addictive habit these days...i was editing my resume and for once i tot it was kind of ok and jus gt a feeling y nt jus upload on scribd where i ve hosted few of my docs.... so i uploded on 15th oct night and went to bed...
16th was a normal busy day for me, i went to coll,attended class, had a small meet with project mates and while coming back home around 430 pm or so, stopped to ve a chat wit few college mates after few mins when i chked my cell for msgs (i keep mob in silent and non vibrator mode)i saw a missed call from a new number..
anxious to kno who had called me i called back to the same number... to my pleasant surprise it was a company's HR person wanting to recruit me as a full time web developer/programmer !!
it took me few seconds to sink in.. and i actually asked him to repeat to make sure wat i was hearing was rite...
He also told me tat he got my resume from where i had posted my resume the previos nite!! from scribd ..... :)
he had overlooked a key point in the resume whch made me un eligeble for presntly taking up a full time job..and tat obviously was i m still studyin :D
i told him tat i m still a student ...and he replied me to contact him aftr my course :) { i ve a back up if i don get placed anywher lol :P }
for a brief few seconds i felt happy when i found out frm him tat i m worthy of a job :) it still puts a small involuntry smile on my face :)

Learning Curve...Learning to Cope with it

aaaahhh hows time for me.... i find myself being called sort of techy whch i myself find hard to relate tooo.....
before i realise i find myself diving into the ocean of knowledge of computer science and engineering...
d same thngs whch nevr imbibed a sence of neccessity are now integral part of my everyday routine.....
nw getting used to the life i never had planed to lead......

Jumbo Back on the Road!!!
Hey hey hey... no no.. m not talking anything related to the man who has scalped 619 test cricket wickets or m not talkin about any tusker elephant whch escaped from its home cos its invaded by us humans and moved in to public places to cause destruction on the way..... m nt refering to either of them ......
What i m refering is ...my long cherished , once a partner of my life for a period of time, my transport, my hercules bi-cycle!!!!
i had got it a while back when i jus passed out of my 7th grade... it was april 12th 2001 if i remember my diary correctly... it was one of the days of my life whch i always dreamed off as a boy before tat day.... i always wanted to ride on a bi-cycle... race with friends, wheel the front tier, ride with single hand then slowly without any hand on the bar! it was passion ... and very nearly an obsession!!
i used jumbo extencieely since then and ve had wonderful memories of it... both sweet and painful... yes like all i ve had my falls... bt the gud thng is , i used to always rise up and do wat i do... ride my jumbo ..... :)
i vividly remember atleast 2 or 3 of my falls whch seem like it has jus happend yesterday! boy i was lucky to escape from it in a single piece!!whew
i used jumbo tilll i finished my pre university college... i used to travel to coll whch is about a kilometer's distance frm my place on jumbo... but after tat somehow it had got shelfed for 2-3 years... every day i looked at my back yard or saw the keys of my jumbo, i used to feel i ve let down my friend and was havin in some corner of my heart tat i ve nt done justice to my frnd.. my once partner of life....
So, i decided rescently tat i shud bring back jumbo on the road whr it belongs! i shud keep it alive as it kept me alive back in the early years of its life...
I tot its my duty to bring back JUMBO to life ... so i took it out and got it well serviced and i ride on my frnd once again.. and the amount of joy tat i felt is enormous and i m sure i cant express wat i ve felt in plain words.... i thnk JUMBO would feel the same thng....
for some reason i ve let u down till nnow, jumbo.. but i wont repeat my mistake again :)
Good to ve u back, jumbo :)
