'Shopping festival: Two days @trade fair'- 2

DAY 2

In just 7-8 times, I travel in metro like a pro.. :D.. Lol I don't believe I wrote an entire post on travelling in a metro... crazy me... Now, I enter in a metro station runs towards 'women only' coach and reach my destination wherever it may be... I find Metro convenient.. :-))

Coming to my second day of shopping at IITF... It wasn't there in my day's plan... But, since, I was highly motivated to go to IITF again and knowing the fact I had only one Sunday... I decided to sacrifice... :P

My 'Mela shopping buddy' was running in Delhi Marathon... So, I called up another friend and asked 'trade fair chalna hai' and in a fraction of second he said 'chal'...

It was 10.30am... And we met at Pragati Maidan metro at 12.30pm... Though, I am somewhat new to the list of metro travellers... I have never seen this much crowd at one place ever in my life... :-P.. I was not walking... I was pushed to move ahead... :P

Fighting through the crowd... I reached outside and waited for my friend.. He joined me in 5mins. . We started walking... Walking and walking :P

Entered inside the trade fair.. And started checking out stuff...

Oh! I can't explain the kind of perfumes I checked out at Bahrain's stall... It was heavenly... That fragrance was mesmerizing... I was sticking there for almost 15 mins to bargain since it was very expensive... But, I failed to bargain... We moved forward... All the while I was thinking of those perfumes... But, no worries... I'll buy them from Bahrain itself... ;-)) :-)

I was very interested in visiting Pakistan pavilion once again for the awesome stuff I bought on Saturday... I got some more on Sunday...

This time I bought chocolates, jellies and more stuff to eat for family... And we ate a lot there as well... :P

In evening around 5-5.30pm we heard Sufi music sound coming from open theatre.. We checked out it was amazing... A live band was playing... We stopped there for a while and decided to come back after some more shopping... We shopped more...

And.. in the end @6.30pm... We went and enjoyed open theatre dance performances for dunno how long... Rejuvenating it was after a long tiring day... I was lost in music... :-))

We left around 7.15pm... And I directly carried on with my pending weekend tasks... Reached home by 11pm... Super duper tired...

But, both days were great... I clicked less pictures on day 2... Sharing them below...

Pearl's 5th birthday is coming very soon... yayyy.. I am excited :-))

Thank you God, for being there... Please give me strength and bless my people... :-)

'Shopping festival: Two days @ trade fair'- 1

DAY 1

Well.. Since, festival is something we celebrate I would like to call my this Saturday & Sunday as a 'shopping festival weekend' as I celebrated shopping... :-))

This weekend I ended up spending my two days back to back doing shopping... :D

Credit or blame... whatever you may say.. it goes to the annual IITF i.e. 'Indian international Trade Fair'... And I spent two days back to back there... Aah! super tiring it was, but.. I loved it thoroughly...

So, it started with a thought in my li'l devil mind on Saturday morning.. I was sipping my coffee and thinking... Out of the blue... I recalled that IITF is here in Delhi and I dunno when was the last time I went there and enjoyed... I recalled graduation days when I went with my friends... And back in time... I was in class 8th in school when I went with mom...

So, I decided to visit IITF... I messaged my all time 'mela shopping buddy'.. Yes, our duo specialises in mela shopping... Walking through massive crowd, finding our way towards shops and bargaining crazily... :P

We decided to meet at a common metro station... So, I reached metro and looked for him and from there our celebration began for this shopping festival... :D

I was very excited... We reached there by 12.30 pm and started randomly by visiting halls... It was great fun... We started with shopping and bagged some great deals.. It feels like a winner when you bargain well and get the stuff for the price quoted by you... I bought stuff for my mom and he bought for his wife and sister...

We entered in international pavilions and I still don't believe the kind of stuff I bargained and bought... It felt great... 

In west Bengal, I loved a red saree so I asked for rate half of the actual price though I knew it was not possible for the kinda stuff it was... But, I cracked it and bagged it for exactly the half rate... I told shopkeeper "bhaiya, main bahut lucky hun, ab dekho apki sale kaise hoti hai.." He actually sold many more in next 20 mins and when I passed by again he stopped and said "apki raashi bahut shubh hai" and told me about he sold many more and was sounding very happy... :-)) that was my 'Moment of the day'... :-D

We shopped some more stuff, used ATM's many times... :P.. Ate a lot and by end of the day we were dead tired... We boarded metro and came back home, I reached by 9pm...

My mom dad loved the stuff I bought in the money I spent... It further encouraged me to spend more... So, the part 2 of the festival began...

Will share my day 2 very soon.... Till the time... I am sharing the pics clicked on day 1... My fone has become my camera now days... :-))

Cya soon Pearl...! :-)) muaah..

 Thank you God for all the blessings.. Love you :))

The 'Friday' Feeling! \m/

Yesterday was Friday and while driving back home after a nice evening I was thinking on 'Fridays are truly awesome'... And its not just yesterday, I think of it on every Friday....

Though.. everyday is new... everyday is different with somewhat different feel...

Lets start with Mondays..
Mondays are very lethargic.. rarely charged up.. Unless I am looking forward to something meaningful! Although Mondays are start of a new week but as they say mornings are laziest part of the day... Mondays are the laziest day of the week..

Tuesday comes with a hope that thank God... Only 3 more days to go for Friday.. Lets work hard ;-)

Wednesday says yayy! Friday is near.... Lets finish up the tasks beforehand to avoid any last minute Friday hassles :D

Thursdays are usually busy... to wind up stuff and fix up few meetings for Friday.. So that I can enjoy my weekend without a guilt of not performing well..

And FINALLY, the Friday! ohh... Its a brilliant incomparable feel... very hard to describe...

Fridays are the best even if I remain busy in my office or do not party at all.. I still love Fridays... I love that different feel... "The Friday feel'... :D

Fridays are the even better when I am eagerly waiting for some movie to release... Last one I remember was 'Rockstar release' Friday.. I was crazily waiting for that one..

My weekends are usually working, so, anyhow Saturday- Sundays are special but I am rarely very sure about what I am gonna do on my weekend... Honestly, I love sleeping, cooking or just relaxing by doing nothing on weekends (provided they are off)...

Weekends are uncertain but Fridays are certainly rocking... :-)

Well, its almost 6 days to go for another Friday... But I guess the wait will start from Monday.. Till then I'll enjoy my weekend... Cheers!!

Happy Weekend dear God ;-)

"Drinking Habits Among youngsters" A SURVEY....

Last weekend I worked for a Market Research Company in which I had to conduct a small survey and had to collect Interviews of 175 youngsters ranging between 21-35 years of age….. Of course a person aged 35 is not a youngster but that was the upper limit.
When I first read the requirement notice by the company, it was clearly mentioned that they require 3 people for the survey… I thought it’s very easy and we two friends in a team will do the entire thing in one day…. We had a deadline…. Till Sunday 3pm we had to submit the data….
We approached the person concerned and got to know that we had to go through a short briefing before the survey…. We went for briefing and came to know that we had to visit different corners of Delhi in order to collect the data and that’s so through personal interviews…. Different corners meant different universities in Delhi which are poles apart… I sometimes wonder how I met someone so CRAZY like me… And we enthusiastically accepted the work…. Hell yeeah.... ENTHUSIASTICALLY…. Ha ha
It started, Saturday morning…. We hired a cab (of course we were paid well for that) and started with our work… We thought of starting with South Delhi… Since its admission season it was difficult to find people above 21 years of age 70% were ranging between 17-20… But then work is work….
Started with Venky college…. Came across many people… here i am elaborating a few…. One guy was there for his younger brother’s admission I interviewed him (main highlights):

Me: what comes to your mind when you hear the word “liquor”?
He: (with a smile on his face and sparkle in his eyes) Liquor… Whiskey…. Where is the bottle… it excites me
(his expression was loud enough to say it all)
Me: your perception/opinion about Liquor?
He: Well, in my opinion it’s one of the best creation of Man and everyone must drink it…..
(and before I could say anything) it should be neat, on the rocks (lots of ice), a girl to serve it…
Me: (Before he could continue I prompted) you are done FULL STOP. Thank you. (After a pause) You are here for your brother’s admission, right? Does he know your views and all about liquor…?
He: NOOOOO……. He doesn't know anything !!
Me: :P

I met girls too asked them the same set of Questions…. I am glad to say at least girls are more sensible and intelligent when it comes to “Liquor”... they too drink (some of them) but wisely…. Unlike guys who are desperate every now and then to grab a bottle :P
I collected data from venky and headed towards another college….. I am skipping ARSD…. Lets talk about MLNC, there I entered in one classroom where admission was going on…. And most of the people were busy filling forms… I approached a guy from North east (first target in that college and the first and last one who rejected to give interview :P)

Me: (Smiling face :P) Hello… You are here for the admission, Right?
He: (Looked at me as if am an Alien, speaking Chinese :P)
Me: Can I take your two minutes if you don’t mind?
He: NO!

I studied with a North Eastern guy in my graduation, I understand... he had no knowledge of hindi, so I consider all north easties as Zero in Hindi…(though few can speak very well in Hindi)…. But Hello… I was talking English dude…. Gemme a break….!!
I walked straight out of the class…. Was sitting alone on the stairs of the college and was just observing people moving here and there with no interest in asking any further Q to anyone… A guy approached

He: Hi, are you here for admission?
Me: No.
He: For Mark sheet?
Me: No
He: Actually, i saw that you are sitting here alone since quite sometime. May I help you, I am a final year student Political science, I am here to help students coming for admission.
Me: I explained the whole thing...….
He: Iam Faiz, you can take my interview
(I conducted his interview and we started chit chatting)
He: I cleared TOEFL and am going to Germany after my Exams
Me: that’s good
(We continued to talk for some more time)
He: how many more interviews you need?
Me: 20 more from here
He: Only? Just gemme sometime and be here
Me: okay!!

After sometime I was surrounded by guys too happy to give their interview :D
It wasn’t difficult at all…. All credit goes to Faiz….
I thanked him and moved to North campus, A place where I spent 3 most precious years of my life….. A place which makes me nostalgic everytime i go there............

I first headed towards my college, Hansraj, conducted few interviews, roamed in college and went to my science faculty…. Got few people for interview and in the end I moved to the Arts faculty, and there I met an interesting personality… His name was Varun
My team mate approached their group (2 guys and 1 girl)
He started with the interview of one guy, I with the other

Me: (After filling the details) first thing comes to your mind when you hear the word “Liquor”?
(Sorry but I don’t remember precisely what he replied)
After few usual survey questions… He started with his Questions,
He: what are you doing? Is this your job?
Me: Nopes, m a student it’s some research work m doing for experience
He: studying what?
Me: MBA
He: I am also a MBA graduate from Amity. Which semester and college?
Me: IIIrd (gemme a break, i am the one who is supposed to asked Qs not u :P)
He: what’s your name?
Me: Deepika
He: full name
Me: Deepika Gupta
He: Delhiite?
Me: yess, k tel me which of the following drinks do you consume? (i had a list of drinks)
He: I have tried all…. Do you drink? (Again his Qs started)
Me: NO
He: Seriously? Actually I also don’t drink….. actually in past 6 months since I joined office….. blah blah
Me: :P….. it’s okay!! Don’t worry, your name is not going to be there in the magazine it’s a general survey
He: I don’t care even if it’s gonna be there
Me: Thank you.

He was the last interview of that day…. Pheww!!! Hell it was Tiring….
After that we submitted the data collected….
Well, I dunno when the data analysis will be out… What I can say is… guys are more into drinking…. Than girls…. They love Whiskey(most), beer and Vodka…. Whereas most preferred drink among girls is Vodka…
My last weekend was good… I have already started looking for work for this weekend and further weekends… I can’t sit idle for two complete days… As far as hanging out, chilling is concerned… I do it daily…. Remember, m still in college and I still have an option of bunking ;))
Life Rocks!!!!!! \m/ :D :D

My Busy… Lovely Weekend…… :)

I had a great weekend… Worked on Saturday…. And enjoyed my Sunday…. Weather is hot like hell here umm around 45 degrees…. I still enjoyed it…. :D
Am feeling so damn tired right now…. But coz am excited and happy I feel like writing :D
I worked on a project on Saturday….. It was a survey for a market research company…. Nothing to do with college curriculum…. It was an interesting survey in which I took 175 personal interviews(actually we in a team of two) and visited north campus, south campus, JNU and my present college all in one day…. And the topic was something very much appealing to the youth and that was “Drinking habits among youngsters” ;)
During my survey I also got a chance to visit my love my college ‘Hansraj’… Man… it was so nostalgic…. I missed all those times when I used to bunk and roam and enjoy with friends…. Every moment just flashed back…. Also enjoyed my favorite ‘Bhelpuri’ :D
It was hectic day…. I worked for 10 hours… And met many interesting people…. ;)) I wanna mention few of them but feeling very tired to write details…. :’(
Coming to my Sunday…. I went for ‘New York’ and spent my whole day out…. It’s something I liked…. I wanna write my review on it…. And I cried too in the end…. Well…. It happens with me…. I don’t watch… movies I LIVE them…. I feel them by heart and that’s why they affect me big time…. Will come up with my review on ‘New York’ may be in few days….. But in short it’s worth watching….
I really need sleep now… Aaah m left with my presentation… which is tomorrow in the morning… and I gonna make it in the early morning itself…. Then have to finalize my project title but for that I have deadline till tomorrow 4 pm… So I’ll do it in tomorrow’s Lunch break…. Whatever I’ll handle it :D :D
I am finally stopping here…. Love you God…. Muuaah… :D
