Weird Me! :P

I love winters… I even love summers…. But monsoons drive me super crazy.. :-))

God, I know you made rains to take some kinda revenge from me…. I don’t feel like doing anything on a rainy day... I just feel like getting drenched in the pouring water from sky… :P

Life is indeed good… And monsoon is truly beautiful…

Half of my team is in Goa from office… My office rewarded last year’s performers by a sponsored trip to Goa… Lucky people… I m here dreaming of it… dyinnggggg to go…. :-(

Anyways, there was a guy in my team not interested in going I counseled him that he should go… After all Goa is religious place when alcohol is your religion.. Convincing somebody to go Goa... that too when it’s FREE of cost... is a Godly work…  :P

Ahhh Goa, even the thought induces excitement inside me… :-D

I don’t really appreciate discussing about work after work hours, but we can discuss workplace of course… while driving today my brain was busy thinking.. as usual… sometimes, I feel it also runs on diesel :P

So, I was thinking why professionalism and friendship can’t go hand in hand… few days back when I got this team to work with… I had nice terms with every one… We used to share lunchbox, laughs and general talks apart from work… But, as soon as number pressure started building up… that so called ‘good terms’ changed in to professionalism… of course, work is the priority and if the team I got will not work from where will I meet my numbers…

Sometimes we need to choose, we intentionally murder one relation to survive the other one…  at times without our will…! :-(

I very strongly believe that I am a feeling less, cold blooded, devilish girl… but I hate it when emotions bother me… they should not be a part of me at all… They only create barriers in life… I hate this part of me… Emotions are like an injured body part… they don’t leave you but compel you  to bear the extreme pain and live with it…

But I hate how strongly and extremely I think about things… God, you made me a weird person! :P

Dear God, If you call this growing up… I am not really having fun in it… After all life is all about having fun :-))))… So, you kindly alter it and make it interesting and happening for your favorite girl…  :-)

I am willing to write a lot…. About every damn thing… My yesterday’s trip to Manesar…. My PC trouble… My SALE plan…. Brothers’ Birthday planning and what not…. Bhai log’s birthday is the topmost priority as of now… I wanna make it grand this time… beyond their imagination… :D Lets see… lets see…

Weekend is also near… Another interesting movie coming up… yayy! :-))), also, I wanna go for photography… I wanna click… Just need a push… May be a company would do…  I am way too lazy…. :-) :-)

God, I love you for being there for me…. Just stand by me.. Give me strength to carry on… And take care of my people...! Muuaaaah :-) :-)

All is well, All is well!! :-)

When things are going against you... Always remember, there is always something to be thankful for... You'll find thousand things... Thank God for giving you chance to find your true Superhero power... Most people never realize how powerful & blessed they are... You are lucky if you do! :-) :-)

It’s a beautiful Monday morning :-)… beautiful weather.. strong coffee… And everything full of excitement… :D

A major goof up has happened at my workplace though I am not truly responsible, but, I am the one to be blamed for it… after all I am a Sales person… :P…. So, I am trying to gather all my positivity to resolve it… And since Saturday I am telling myself  “All is Well”…

This major trouble panicked me on Saturday… But since it was a Saturday eve… I decided to focus on party as I had two options either to enjoy my party or spoil it by thinking… So, I decided to choose former option & I had a great evening… Awesome food, drinks & shopping ;-))

Out of my dream world, it’s a real & practical Monday where I have to face what already happened… God, please save my life… I can sense now.. how big it is… And it’s time for me to be a warrior :P

Recently, I have started playing Ironman on my fone.. So, I’ll take some lessons from him… how to fly… gather all electricity in one go and shoot…. :P… Even when you are attacked & injured badly… you still regain your power by giving up few credits... It’s not an end :P

All is well… All is well…

On a serious note, I am totally scared… I dunno what will happen... I wish I could post my real expression here… But, what may happen… Let’s think of worst… I might lose my job or screw up my confirmation or affect my first appraisal very badly… what more… :P… It’s not an end of my life… It won’t affect my shopping, parties, my workout, plans of Goa & Bora Bora, bhai log’s birthday… things which truly matter won’t be affected… hmmm… :D :D

Sometimes I feel like Dennis of “Dennis the Menace”…. Queen of problems… All troubles love me so much that they automatically come attracted towards me… But, I guess that’s what is adding spice to my life… :-))… without these problems life will be like everybody else’s.. dull & boring… Of course, a Disney princess life can’t be boring & smooth… :-P

All is going to be fine... I just have to be calm & composed… which I know is a very difficult task :P

God, Please please be there with me… Like you are always… I understand you have followers and lots of work.. but today you have to be with me on priority… Love you…

And… Of course, take care of my people :-)) Muuuaaaah :* 

Rain Girl :-))

God, I love you… for creating nature, creating water and pouring down rain…. :D

The day started with a hot weather and clear sky… continuing with my daily routine… I went office… done with my last meeting in the eve…  at around 6pm…. Till the time the sun was shining bright and my car’s AC was in use….

I was as usual talking on fone while driving back home… all of a sudden… the sky went black and I could see sand in the wind… before I could reach back home it started raining heavily…. And, I dunno why I was craving to get wet in the rain today…

I never craved for it so strong lately in past few years… Talking on fone I said... I wish I could park my car on the road and enjoy rain… but then I controlled myself thinking that I don’t have any right to create a traffic jam here on the mid of the road :P

I quickly came back home, threw my stuff on bed and rushed to my terrace to enjoy the rain before it could stop…..

Aaah…. What a blissful feel it was… Amazing… I wish I could explain it in words…. After almost 10 years I enjoyed rain like this… for 40 mins I was getting drenched in the rain…. Looking around on the empty roads…. Dark and beautiful sky…. Green, fresh, wet trees and grass…. The spark in the clouds…. Feeling the drops of water on my face….. The air in my wet hair and clothes… I was shivering with cold…. Simply I loved it t o the core…. It was indeed one of the finest pleasures of nature….The most amazing feel of the month :D…..

I am feeling really very happy today… :D

Thank you God for giving me this life and my people…. I love you… Please take care of my loved ones…. And keep pouring water from the sky… :D 

Muuaaaah :-)))

P.S.- This all happened yesterday, written yesterday... Posted today..:D

'No Money' day-out!

After a long long time I am coming back on my blog with a realization happened JLT… :-)

Though I miss writing terribly… I rarely write it down now a days… I think I should restart writing my filmy life & its happenings  :P

Yesterday was just another day…. I got up… cooked food (which wasn’t very usual though)…. Got ready for office… And left for my meeting directly…while driving I saw a shop where they sell one of the finest cakes in town… It tempted me and I decided to buy one for myself…. I was driving and talking on fone… I turned my car towards the shop and parked… Moment I was about to get down of my car I realized I left my wallet home… LOL

It wasn't a ‘LOL’ moment though…. I was kinda shocked…. I was almost 50 kms away from home on an isolated planet… crossed Toll roads… Without any further option I started my car and looked around how much money I had in form of coins and change… I counted, it was 70 Rupees…

Calculation started in my mind… 20 for parking, 25 for toll and rest miscellaneous…. Have you ever realized we feel like eating something special on the day when we can’t actually buy it…. :P

Talking to myself, I reached for my meeting… The office was in a mall... I parked my car…. And finished my meeting…. Then I saw McDs… I never crave for their food on normal days…. But yesterday it was a craving… I recounted my money and realized I had 30 bucks extra… I decided to buy a burger… :P

Their burger never tasted so good ever in my life… I relished it.. And left for my other meeting which was in the other corner of Delhi…. Luckily my home was on the way… I picked up my wallet and continued my day…. But, in that short time I actually relived my school days… where money used to be so limited and we used to save 5 Rs as well…. Today, if I look at myself…. Or even people around me…. No one bothers about it…. We earn & throw…

Life changed so much…. Still some change saved my ‘HALF DAY’ :P

God, Love you… Give me strength and be with me.. Muaah.. :-)

F.R.I.E.N.D.S Forever!

Today while driving to my office, I realized that I never ever dedicated any post to the people who deserve a special space in my life… It’s not very tough to count them though… 

Broadly I can say, it’s my friends & my family members…. 

Of course, there are other influential people as well… like my First bosses (Internship and first job) who played very important role and still deserve a very good space in my mindset and life… Who helped me to grow like a lost kid in the fish-market…. My Marketing Professor Late Mr S.K. Jaimini who helped me in taking very crucial decisions at the point where I was super confused… 

But, I specifically wanna dedicate this post to my Friends…..

In the morning while driving, I was thinking… I must have done really good deeds in past life to have people like the ones I have… Honestly, I am one of the toughest and most complicated people…. Very short tempered, bad, rude, moody and crazy… It takes hell lot of patience and concern to deal with me…. And life is busy so no one has time to devote… So, the people who jhelofy me without complaining are the ones who have spoilt me to the core… At times, they treat me like a small spoilt kid who dunno anything about life and people… And makes me realize so many things I ignore to notice… And I don’t appreciate but I love them for this.. I don’t know nor I have words to thank them for this.. :D

O dear God, I feel very privileged and lucky to have such people… It’s very difficult to find people who understand you so well… *touchwood*

I am not a very expressive person, so, most of the times... I am unable to speak what I feel… The good I feel is mostly hidden… but the bad I feel is mostly on my face… but having such people who even understand that  the expressions are temporary and kiddish… and the feelings I posses are real and true is a pure blessing…. 

I wish to write so much… but, I am running short of words… 

I have seen and met people, who are there for you only when you are happy, but the moment you are in tough situation or in a mid of a mood swing they drop you like a hot potato… I am not criticizing such people but I must say they can’t be anybody’s friend. People who switch their friends as per their requirement at that point of time are simply don’t deserve friendship…. And they are like an eye-opener which makes you realize…. People can be illusive…

But, all is well when the end is well…. And there is no end to true friendships… Me and my friends do fight like kids… but that only adds on to our understanding towards each other…. And then of course, they know me so well… that we rarely need too many words to patch up…. :-)

Dear God, Thank you so much for these people in my life…. You know what you have given me… Of course, you never forget to add some negative elements in my life to give me a “Disney movie” feel… And expect your princess to manage it all… :P

But, trust me I will… Because, I know You are with me…. And My people are with me… And together we’ll win the game… Love You… Muaah.. :D  :-)

My 25th Birthday…

I had a very strong urge to write blog post on my birthday… But, at the end of the day I was too tired to type anything….

It was my 25^th birthday so I had certain plans from past few months which were all thrashed due to my work…. Anyways, I still managed to enjoy my day… thanks to my family and friends…. I feel lucky to have them... :-)

I can sense winters in Delhi… The weather is changing… So is my mood… It’s pleasant and better…. Every time its winters... I feel a different world around me... A better... more beautiful and serene... And as I always say… Winters make me fall in love with everything around me…

On my birthday, someone told me 25 is the age after which many things start changing…. I dunno what it means actually… As far as maturity level is concerned... I am least bothered… brains & heart I don’t posses…. So what is left? May be metabolism level… :P

Anyhow, sometimes I find it very difficult to understand myself.. I ask myself where am I going… I am 25 now, but.. I still ask myself, In which direction I am going… will I be able to reach my destination this way or not and if yes, then when?

I have dreams, interests, destination, resolutions and so many things to do… And, I hate it when someone asks me about marriage plans… Man! I don’t have time for all that but I guess it’s very difficult to make people understand that… So, I have stopped trying…  I just say- “No plans”

I have noticed, lately I am being more social…. May be I have realized the feeling of being away from my friends… I have realized it’s very difficult to find people who truly understand you and still be with you… I have realized people we randomly meet can be deceptive... And, I have realized life changes….

But, honestly, I have no regrets so far… Yes, I am still not very sure about the path I am moving on will take me how far in the journey towards my destination… But, life is all about moving… And realizing…. And rectifying… And the most importantly…. Having FUN!!!

So, cheers to the upcoming life….:)))

And God, thanks for being there for me….  I Love you for giving me the best of parents, brothers and friends…. I really wanna thank you with all my heart…. And yes, you know the things I wanna change in my life… Please help me with that… I promise I will try to be your good girl… Love you… muaah :-))

DAY 1: Work without my Car!

Before beginning with the post I would to like to mention that here the work is “SALES” so when I say work without a car… It means something genuinely uncomfortable!

I guess, I’ll start with how I m struck in this situation… well…. It all happened on a very pleasant day… the day I love the most ‘FRIDAY’…  A Friday afternoon.

As usual, I was driving my car… going for a meeting…. happily singing a song…. On a crowd less road… where I met an accident... It wasn’t just any simple hit it was kinda major…. A bikewala hit my car badly without seeing the indicator due to which he got injured and I ended up losing one door of my car and the other door was damaged…

Anyways, my primary concern was that guy who was bleeding…  As that was not the point to argue on whose fault it was… I took him to the hospital and dropped him back…. After that my concern was my car… It was a major loss so I decided to call up insurance guy to guide me how to go about it… He told me a long process which I decided to follow…

My Saturday went in searching for a workshop where I can give my car and get it repaired at earliest… as well as in fewer outflows of cash…. Finally, my search ended on a workshop in Vasant Kunj where I decided to give my car and the workshop guy ensured me its return in 4 days i.e., by Thursday most probably…

Phewww! Long story it was… Anyways, now I was bothered about my work… Being in sales it’s very difficult to go without a car… Sunday I was mostly sleeping and doing tp… By the end of the day I convinced myself that “It’s gonna be an adventure to be without a car… I’ll explore the city in public transport once again after 2 years… yayy!” :P

Though from inside I was saying “it won’t be that bad... after all people do live without a car”….

Ah… Started Monday… I luckily got lift till office with a colleague of mine who stays in South Delhi… Then comes the meetings part…. I was lucky as I had just one meeting today… that too I managed in metro…

After years, I travelled in Metro…. It was not really a bad experience… Honestly speaking… sometimes it’s required to come out of your comfort zone and work like mostly people do… Well, yes, I lack patience and I hate public transport but it’s all because I always had a choice to avoid it… today, I had no choice so I used it… It wasn’t actually my wish though… :P

I spent around 4 hrs in just one meeting due to this public transport thing… I am sure with car it’s just a matter of 2.5 hrs at max… Life can’t be same every time…

But… God, seriously yaa… Thank You so much for being there for me… Good and bad days do come but it’s all required at times… It only makes us versatile and strong…. And I am happy, Really… So don’t worry.. ;-)

Just take care of my people…. Love you… Muaah! :-))

Loving My Life! :-)

I dunno what really compelled me to write this post but anyways I am glad to be back here...

Life is being dynamic and eventful... Till last year I used to say I am not happy with my Job because of whatever reasons... I also had a fear in my mind that leaving it might leave me with regrets as the future is always uncertain... But honestly, I am proud to say that it was my best decision of the year to resign from that place.

As far as my present is concerned, touch-wood, I am happy :-)

Yes, life is full of ups and downs, successes and failures... surrounded by people who make you or break you.... Politics.... dirty games and so on.. But, whatever it may be I believe everything in life happens for a reason... Its good or bad is decided by the outlook we carry... 

It will be unfair if I'll say- I hate it when people around me play unfair games and make my life even more complicated.... I wish I could punch them hard on their face..

I would rather say- Yes, I do hate the dirt around but I am learning to fight for it... As life can not be a piece of cake every time, so meeting such people prepares me to fight for what is right and enable me to learn more about humans. (Of course, I'll always be an Anthropologist) ;-)

Well, no regrets from life... Although, I do miss my first job a lot... May be because I had real good people around me whom I'll cherish for the rest of my life... And yes, it was like my first love.. And deserves a special corner in my heart..

New in life is nothing much.... Or I would say so much that I am unable to gather it and jot it down.. ;-)

I keep meeting new people daily.. And like it... I am still a kid without any change so far in my thought processes... So, that ways I do face problems... Specially by trusting wrong people most of the times.. but that is again an integral part of life.. So, no complaints.

Recently, I spent hell lot of money on shopping... I purchased everything- clothes, shoes, bags, accessories, gifts and so on.... Last year, I used to feel that some part of me was not living or rather say was dead/dormant... Now, I feel... I can sense it... I am the same Deepika that I used be 2 years ago... :D

I feel things, good and bad... I m loving shopping again...  I love meeting my old pals.... Hanging out... I can feel feelings... praise music... appreciate beauty... And, I watch every interesting movie on its release weekend without a fail... I cherish my life... I love being busy... I love myself... I love my people.. I am in love with my life....

The only thing drastically changed is my frequency of writing blogs.. Many times I start with something then leave it in-between... May be I am too confused what all to write and what not....
But.. I'll try to write more as it helps me a lot personally to figure out what I am feeling... I can express well in words... in my mind emotions and thoughts are very vague and random... I can compile them in a post and analyse... :))

I'll end it here now, once again.. Thank You dear God... for everything you gave me... forgive me for the bad things I do intentionally/unintentionally.... I'll always be your favorite kid who will never do any wrong to anyone knowingly.. Please be there on my side and take care of my loved ones... Love you.. Muaah.. :-)

Beach, Of Course! ;-)

Well, the other day I and my colleagues were discussing if given a chance where we would like to go for a vacation… I dunno why but the only places promptly clicked my mind were Goa & Bora Bora…

My colleagues anyways favored mountains as their ideal vacation spot…. That whole day I was trying to think… Why I couldn’t say any hilly region as my favorite… I have been to more mountains than beaches and I love mountains too… Now… after analyzing… I feel I am more of a beach personality!

Beaches are calm and clear... what pulls me the most is the mesmerizing sound of waves…. The magnetic comfortable warmth around….. The feel of sand on the feet is just incomparable and gripping…. I am not a swimmer though…. But still I love beaches but only clean beaches without any crowd… :P

I can spend hours playing in the water… ;-)

I have been to mountains... I love climbing them… I like the warmth of sun in the chilly weather... I love having a cup of hot black coffee while walking in the mountains…. I love eating my favorite food in the dhaba/restaurant on the hills…. but I would any day choose to go to a beach over mountains….

Although, psychologically I dunno the inner personality traits of either mountain lovers or beach lovers… but I believe there must be some kinda personality traits linked to it…. Any ways.. that I’ll see if I can find it out on Google… :-)

Now, I am in holiday mood…. Let’s see when I’ll get this opportunity to visit some nice beach again… :D

For right now, I’ll go and sleep… Weekend is over…. And I loved it.... :-)

Good Night God.. Love you and Thank you for everything… :-)

My Likes of 2011: Movies!

2011 was an average year for me with mixed happenings… But it was certainly an entertaining one in terms of Movies…. I watched almost 70% of the bollywood releases in theatre… So, here I would like to share my 11 interesting-to-watch movies of 2011… ;-)

And the list goes…

Rockstar
My Rating- ****1/2
I maintained my record of watching 3rd movie of Imtiaz Ali in a row on its release date.. And honestly, it was one of the best movies of Imtiaz… I simply loved it from the beginning till the end… Although, the end could have been better… But, somehow I feel it was cool enough…

Delhi Belly
My Rating-**1/2
Well, I generally decide my liking for the movie from the feel I get after watching it…. The feel was not that bad after watching Delhi Belly…. And moreover, I had to touch 11…. So, I am mentioning this… You can bear it if you are okay with abusive language….

So, these were my 11 movies…. The movies I really hated were ‘The Dirty Picture’ and ‘Double Dhamaal’… :P

2011 was a filmy year… As movies were the major source of entertainment… Let’s see what’s in store for 2012… ;-)

Me and my friend mutually decided to write this post about movies... And I think his post worth a read.. You can read it here... :-)

An interesting day at Work!

I have joined my new organization from 1st of this March and since then whenever I used to ask for work from my boss I used to get a reply like ‘you’ll be busy in few days… ‘ ‘Enjoy your time…’ ‘ its just your 1st week in the new office’ and blah blah…. And trust me it’s really tiring to do nothing!

We say these two words ‘nothing much’ quite often on asking ‘what’s new?’ or vice versa….

I have felt the deep meaning of these two words in these few days…. :P :P The most difficult thing for any workaholic is to sit without work in an office full of people engaged in their own work…. I really don’t mind going out and shopping some stuff or hanging out with friends or doing any other work but sitting idle in a busy office is bad bad bad!

Finally… today…. I started with my work… And trust me it was really a great start… :-) :-)

Starting with a short briefing of my job role... It’s a sales job again but it’s about selling a concept to the people sitting at the top level of good and relevant companies and good here means actually good… Nothing like running around on the roads like usual sales jobs… But.. since, I am very new in the system m not allowed to work on the recently ongoing project… And moreover… they want me to see and learn by interacting and studying what other people are doing before starting with something big….

So.. to begin with my work they gave me a task of handling the sales of a Russian group we recently signed a contract with…. And from past 15 days my task was to send emails to their director named Julia and understanding their business plans in India so that I can help them to grow their business here in India and to help them in penetrating in the market…. Pheww!! :P

Julia scheduled her visit to India on 14th of his month and today she was here in Delhi…. As already decided via emails we met at the airport…. From there we proceeded towards Gurgaon since she wanted to see spaces here in India for setting up their office in Delhi/ncr… We decided to start with Gurgaon…. We had our lunch in Gurgaon itself and as I had already scheduled few appointments for her.. We had most of the things pre-planned….

After having our food we were still left with 40 minutes for our 1st meeting so we decided to enter in some mall again for some shopping…. From there she picked some stuff for her daughter and then we checked out some accessories…. We didn’t realize it was almost an hour and I got a call from the salesperson (for office space) that he was waiting…. So we rushed from there for our meeting…

We reached there and the person supposed to be there sent somebody else to explain and show the space… Guy showing us the space wasn’t that well versed with the services offered…. And it annoyed me… seeing my anger he explained that the other guy will reach in 10-15 minutes... I was bit angry with him but again thinking about my last sales job I controlled myself and explained Julia that the guy must be struck in the traffic or so… And it’s quite normal with the field guys….. We need to wait for sometime….

While waiting…. Julia was lost in her thoughts… And she slowly whispered in my ears… “I think that purse we saw in the mall was really nice can we go back and buy that….” I smiled and said “ya, sure”. After 10 minutes.. the person was there and we finished with our first meeting…. And went back to the same mall and from there she bought that purse and a T-shirt…

Second meeting was in one of my personal favorite places…. Cyber city, gurgaon… And the space was in one of the best buildings… I recommended Julia to consider that as her first option and even she was very impressed with the location…..

We were bit tired by that time…. So we both slept in car while going for the third and the last meeting… Last place was Nehru Place…. We got up… dunno about her but I was dead sleepy…. Office was again good but with fewer facilities….. So we dropped that option….

In between, we talked about their business in Russia and other countries… her culture and favorite stuff… She told me about her husband.. kids… friends…. We discussed about their business plans in India… and growth so far…. It was overall a nice day… I really enjoyed it…..

Tomorrow again I have scheduled few meetings for her…. I guess I should post it and go to sleep… Have to get up early in the morning :-)

So…. Good night Pearl… And Thank You God for being there for me… Love you…. :-)
