Category — I, Me & Myself

Dear Mom,

I can’t count how much effort you had to do to raise me and make me a good human being, I have already written about this sometime back. In this letter, I want to thank you so much for standing by my decision and believing in me.

It was tough for me to tell you that I want to start my own company when all my friends were joining big companies with nice salary packages. They got their dream jobs but my dream was a bit different, I always wanted to start my own venture and do things I love to do.

I know that entrepreneurship is tough and sometimes I have to work for 16 hours at a stretch for the whole week or month, I don’t get any week offs. There is no fixed money that gets credited to my bank account every month. I am making less money than the children of our relatives abroad which remains your concern even now. But I want to tell you that I am happy and getting up every morning with a feeling of working on something great is something. I can never trade for money.

I know that you are worried about my future but it’s hard to say how long my work is going to take off and make stable revenue. I might fail and had to start all over again, but I thank you so much for not pushing me to get a job in a gulf city.

You hate that I stay awake and don’t get up early. You hate that I spend too much time in front of the computer, but Mom, I am working very hard to get things to normal. The initial days of every start-up need extra time and energy, not everybody is capable to do that, I promise that I am going to make you proud of what I am doing, someday.

PS: I am posting this before mother’s day because I believe every day is mother’s day, she is my mother for all 365 days in a year and for the rest of my life.

Just like how important it is to get a college degree to have a nice job in a good company. It is equally important to update your Facebook status these days. By the way I just got married.

Now, don’t imagine me running to the computer to update my status as soon as I said “Yes”. I used a smartphone instead .

There are many things which are not worth to blog, but her I set the rules here, so, I’ll be doing whatever I want. Ok, sorry, that’s kind of rude.

This is an incident from my AMU days, it was Sunday and I was in a restaurant in Center Point called Quality, I was with few friends there, suddenly we noticed a girl who entered the restaurant with a bag, she came by and sat next to our seat. The girl looked attractive and it’s obvious that we were staring at her right from the time she entered.

Ok, the next thing we noticed that she ordered a Cola and took her mobile phone out of her bag and played a song. (This was year 2005 where MP3 phones were things to show off). You might be interested to know about the song, it’s was a sad song in female voice from the movie Ishq Vishq. Yes, I have seen the movie and in this song, the female cast is sad and crying over some boyfriend girlfriend issue. But you know what, the girl started crying in the restaurant, it was like oh I am so lonely, someone hold me, I need to be cuddled, my boyfriends was cheating on me, he dumped me, I am so Cinderella type.

We were four guys and we were confused, my friends said it’s all a Natak to gain some sympathy. I thought why not should I go ahead and sympathies, suddenly I saw a guy came and sat with her, I thought I am so damn slow I am still thinking and somebody actually did it. Later we found out that it was his boyfriend and we stopped taking interest in their conversation. We already knew what is going to happen, it’s all the usual stuff, girl crying and over reacting over some issue, but this time, it was a source of Sunday entertainment for us, we still laugh out loud talking about the incident.

Everyone is a Geek these days, but if you if someone asks you “How your Gadgets represent how you are?”

What would you say?

Well, if you ask me this question, I have a plenty of answers for you.

I am a Big fan of productivity and I keep looking for things which makes my Job easier to do, I share them on my Technology Blog also. Being a professional blogger, I spend most of my time Online and I make sure I am not leaving my offline world behind, This is the reason I bough a Dell Laptop which I can take out at local Café Shops to get my work done. I love being in the crowd without being the part of the crowd, I am not alone but I am also not disturbed by anyone while I am working on an Article. One more thing, it is as fast as it was on Day 1. I have customized my Laptop with different themes and software, different themes for different mood. It my Virtual Home and I love to take care of it.

Dell is a powerful machine, but I cannot take a laptop everywhere I go, I need to keep in touch with my online world, emails, Facebook, twitter etc.  This is the reason I have got n97 Mini from Nokia. yes Nokia powered by Symbian S60v5 OS. The geek world has totally ignored Symbian but it still is most widely used OS in India. Nokia is the other name of Mobile phones in India and I totally support it, I can check my emails and do all the social networking on this phone, the physical qwerty keypad makes me do things faster and the touch screen ads more to it. I have got all my favorite songs in it. I have personalized my phone with themes and I keep all the important files in it. My phone is a live saver during my traveling.

My Mobile phone works as my Music Player (8GB Inbuilt Memory), My Digital Camera (5MP with Flash), My Pen Drive and my Mini Computer ( Social Networking etc.)

I used to wear a Fast Track watch, but now I have made a habit of looking at the time in the mobile phone instead as I am looking into it most of the time.

Apart from my Mobile Phone and Laptop, I have got few other gadgets, or say Gadgets for doing almost everything, I spend plenty of hours looking at new gadgets and knowing about them. Every gadget I own is handled with care and you will never find a single scratch on them. This shows how I want my thing to be perfect.

Well, almost perfect.

Short Note: If you want to Own a Dell Inspiron Laptop, there is a contest running on IndiBlogger till 11 July, 9PM IST.

I am really tired of writing stories about me. My Google Analytics says that no one cares for it. So why do I write about me? For future maybe! Maybe someday I’ll be that famous that people come and visit my blog and read everything about me. Yes, it feels good to think about it, but at the same time, there are few things I’ll need to delete before someone from Media makes news of it. Yes they do it when they don’t have anything else to show. People blog about their Dogs and get it the news. I have written few extra personal things here, I really need to delete them before they track it down.

But surely I am wasting a lot of time writing about me. Well, it’s a personal blog, what else Am I suppose to write? I already have got couple of other blogs on various topics. I am not able to update anyone them. Should I let my Cousin Blog here? Or should I Start being Informative by writing more How to Make Tea kind of posts?

Well, this kind of posts work, they get a lot of people from Search, Last time I wrote about how to gain confidence, and I got few hundreds of people visiting that particular post in January from Google. Yes, I think I need to change this. My friend Chetan Bhawani does that. He blogs about everything informative! He does it good. I might follow him.

I have got so many things on hold. I don’t know when I can say I have achieved it. Even after planning my year 2010, I am not able to do a single thing so far. Ok time up, no more cribbing, I’ll be regular on this blog. I promise that. Someone told me I write well, but I know I can’t write Book, but couple of blog posts will do.

What I’ll do is I’ll unplug my laptop from internet and write blog posts in offline mode. Maybe that will help. This Social media thing has made me crazy. I can live without food at times but no without them. I want to change it desperately. I need to get sometime offline and live it.

Hopes yours was fine and you did not screw the whole Love thing just like I did.Okay I promised myself no sad talk. But Couldn’t stop myself from wishing you guys. I made this Sketch in Paint.

Yes, you don’t have to say that I suck, I know that.
