November 29th, 2008Thank God its finally over!
We all know what our country has been through in the last 70 hours or so.
Thank God for our brave men, the mayhem is finally over now.
My heart goes out to the REAL HEROES of INDIA who sacrificed their lives in the line of duty, along with the countless innocents who were killed in this act of sheer barbarism.
Let us all hope that all this has taught the “right lessons” to all those who matter.

August 26th, 2008Rakhi 2008 - my most memorable so far!!
Rakshabandhan - this festival has always been very very close to my heart right from my childhood. I dont have my own sister but I have been lucky enough that God has blessed me with people in my life who have gone on to become more than an own sister can be. Be it the love, the affection, the care, I have got it all from these “special sisters” of mine.
Ok guys, I could not resist posting this … 
Quite honestly, this year’s Rakhi was very very special for me and by far the most memorable one as well.
My heart goes out to all my lovely sisters out there. THANK YOU SISTERS.
Hmm, now you must be wondering why this pic only without any kinda details like last time (and that too in a post coming from someone who speaks so much!) …I have to confess here though, that I had been planning to share the details like I did last year (have drafted it as well) but I am not too sure if I would be able to do justice this time! What do you guys say?
May God bless ya’ll.

May 13th, 20081 week, 2 babies and a Chachu…
Some of you might be wondering what is this title all about. Don’t worry I’ll explain.
April 30, 2008
Early morning 5AM my bhabhi (sister-in-law) starts having pain in her stomach. Everyone is worried at home, is it labor pain? Doctor is called and bhabhi is asked to be admitted to the hospital. 10AM she is admitted. Doctor checks and says she will operate at 8:30 in the evening. OMG!!!! Everyone is excited. Doctor is late, bhabhi is taken to the OT at 8:45
9:20PM the news is out. IT’S A BABY GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everyone rushes in to the first floor to have a glance of the baby. But where is the baby? Out of sheer excitement everyone rushed to the ward bhabhi was kept in. After a few secs someone shouted, “its here!” The baby was taken out from the OT and kept in the room right next to it!
MAN!! What a moment… I had tears in my eyes… my mother was over the moon… my brother was so happy… everyone was delighted… the atmosphere seemed as if it was some festival… indeed it was a special occasion for us… an angel had become a part of our family…
Thank you god.

My another bhabhi (Rachna bhabhi, someone who got me out of a rut an year back… someone very close to my heart) is admitted on the 6th. Everyone curious… will it be a boy or a girl?
On the morning of 7th May I get up early as I had to rush in to the hospital by 6:30. I did reach in time! Bhabhi is taken to the OT at 6:30 Anxious moments for everyone. Everyone is waiting…
The door opens… “IT’S A BOY”!! Yipee!! My bhabhi had given birth to a handsome prince at 6:31AM. I was the one who broke this news to the family members waiting downstairs. Man it takes some guts to do that… 
The baby is taken out for everyone to have a glimpse… I saw tears in the eyes of my brother (Vivek bhaiya, my boss, my friend, my critic, someone I love and respect a lot) It was an unforgettable moment for us all.
Here comes prince charming…
Thank you for the two wonderful gifts God.
Ha to bhaiyo aur bhaiyon ki behno hua na mera title logical?

April 2nd, 2008Did Google Fool You ?
Hi guys,
Were you fooled by Google this April Fool’s Day?
See what G tried to fool people.
Earth has issues, and it’s time humanity got started on a Plan B. So, starting in 2014, Virgin founder Richard Branson and Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin will be leading hundreds of users on one of the grandest adventures in human history: Project Virgle, the first permanent human colony on Mars.
EnJOy!!

January 12th, 2008Lets Learn to Learn the Hard Way…
This past month and a half has been one of the toughest of my professional career thus far! Reasons? Me, myself and my emotions.
Anand dont act like a child, please grow up!
Anand I dont trust you anymore!!
Anand you are the biggest emotional fool i have seen!!!
Anand I hate you!!!!
My actions made me hear the above sentences from people very close to me over the past month and a half. Did I give up? YES and then NO. I had given up but then I was motivated by my well-wishers to keep going. And I am glad that I did keep going!!
I have been learning to learn things in life the ‘hard way‘ for this past month and a half.When I look back to the hard times, the title of this post rings in my mind… Let me share with you all how one can learn (according to me) to “learn the hard way”
1. Be your biggest critic: Criticisms from others is the last thing one would want. But, if we can learn to take the criticisms in a positive manner and work upon them then we will surely succeed. Hence, being one’s own critic always helps!
2. Control your emotions: Emotion, this word goes hand in hand with me. Although I always try my best to hide my emotions, I end up on the wrong side. One cannot hope to do well in any field if he/she is too emotional. Emotion while at work is a dampener for sure.
3. Keep personal and professional relations aside: Another aspect I am seriously working on. Workplace relationships are not helpful at all. Thus, its always better to keep any personal relation away from one’s professional life.
4. Deserve before you desire: Do you dream of getting success before you really deserve it? Are you over-confident with what you do? If the answers are yes, better leave aside the thought that you will succeed! Patience is the key. I have always believed in “if I carry out my responsibilities to the best of my abilities, no one can stop me from doing well.” Bottomline, one should always wait for the right moment to arrive.
5. Learn to accept mistakes: I think i have been quite adamant at times in my life, to accept my own mistakes! This has resulted in a few strained relationships as well. I am learning to leave aside the bad attitude of not accepting my own misdeeds.
6. Think before you leap: Very important indeed. I have made my life a mess many a times just for not thinking enough before taking the plunge.
I can write a whole lot more here but that would make some of you go off to sleep! Lets see if you can add something more here…
So, until next time…
