How life changes

Well when i was writing my earlier post about the cars i just started thinking as to how life changes...whether its good or bad it just keep on changing...
I am a techno savvy person and love to have lots of gadgets handy...but alas my pocket don't support my wish.... any Way I'm lucky that my managed to provide me all the great things...all basic requirements like music system in my room, computer, phone, Ipod, huge collection of Cd's and books, and yes a mobile.

I got a mobile for my self when i was in first year graduation...
It was a Motorola some model but it looked like this....huge cordless types...but this was in fashion those dayz people used to carry these in hand purposely to showoff.....i was the only one in my class to have a mobile so was proud..at the same time sad as had no one to chat with....any way those days in coming was charged good no one else had it....

Next i got a Sony Ericson's T100 as the big mobile fashion was going down i needed a new model for myself.

This was a cute handy set...loved by all my frndz n of course me too....i used it for next 2 years.....after completing my graduation it started giving trouble...so before my postgrad i had to have a new mobile...by this time FM radio was in...so i wanted a radio phone...the most reliable was nokia 2300

for three complete years i have used it and i loved it...only thing missing was camera...radio stations play nice music hence i didn't feel the need to have a memory card to save my songs.....

a year before i mean last year my dad brought a new mobile 'HTC' for himself so i inherited his old mobile...

although it was my fav but my 2300 was getting old and was troubling me now...so switched to this cool 6670..."i knw i knw out of fashion but still at least a camera"..was my first thought so now im using this...it will take me sometime to chage another but i have changed every thing about it...changed the panel from traditional silver to my fav black...got a 1gb memory card for it (this model cant take more than this)bought a new headphones...so its changed....

still there is 1 biggggggggggg probs it has no radio...dad didn't require a radio so he bought this model but what about me...so i have this 1gb thing and as many songs as possible in it...soon or later ill have a better phone than what i have 2day but no regrates for present one too.....

lets see how much more my life changes...

neha 16 MAr 09: OK a Quick update...some one just reminded me that i should update this post as well.

now i have changed my cellphone and again switched back to Sony ericson a handsome cool piece...sleek stylish n very light weight.....im njoying life with it....

so this is the view of my new phone i have this brown one.....

Our new car

HOME!!!!! It’s the most Happening place on this earth…what’s new going on in my home…….We trying to figure out which car should we buy that fits our budget…..

For that bahut mahanat kiya….went to car dealers, consult friends, car mechanic se poocha…but the best we all went together for each and every thing. So every one was excited…..

It so happened that we had different choices…mom’s choice, my bro’s choice my papa’s choice and my choice. But 3 cars finalized which were common choice. Maruti Suzuki SX4…, Hyundai Verna and lastly my fav Honda City ZX….

Our first car was a fiat very common those days our 2nd car was Daewoo Matiz coolest car….both were white in color. So mom said we need a big car now…enough of small cars and I was sure no white any more…..

Test drive kiya SX4 and City ZX ki……Both are fantastic cars… we don’t know but slowly we removed Verna from the list and only 2 remained in the end……

Every day when I and dad came home for a week we discussed which car is better. All four of us in tensed up. We are looking out for a long term car…we are not the once who keep changing cars in 2-3 years we want our car to run good 5-6 years…ha ha ha

Finally! ITS MY FAVORITE CAR HONDA CITY ZX….ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I just love it…the day it was lauched from that day I wanted to drive this beautiful car. It may have flaws but somehow I am fond of this car. I actually like black color but this shade car needs lot of maintenance…so its cool to have other lighter shade

Luckily every one liked it…dad found it drivers pleasure and hence wanted to opt for this….mom found it good too and my bro also agreed finally (he wanted 4 though but had no probs with city also). All of liked copper-bronze color…..different from that silver and golden common shades naaa but this is also a running color…. Now things are good…we are calm….few days payment and then registration and then zoooooooooom car will be ours…


I am eagerly waiting for my car…im sure its going to be fun to drive this brand new car of mine…….

Hoping for the best……….

meri matiz...its gr8 car...well now its 8 yeasrs old but still moves fantastic

something like this is goin to be my new car

My first Public Talk

My first Public Talk

Ok so this is one blunder I made on my first public talk...actually it was a seminar....I never want to remember.

Few days back I wrote about Getting a new job.....yeah so i joined and came to know about this workshop gonna conducted by the department.....now in this workshop people from different places of India were supposed to participate. I was new so minimal work for me...haaaaa....but deep inside I wanted o actively participate in arranging and helping out the participants.....

Before going further i mean writing further as to what I did.....i was just thinking how many times I have given a public talk......In school i have been giving speeches...but there i knew most of my teachers and the schoolmates were also not new. in Graduation or post grad....there use be class seminars...there also professors as well as classmates were close to me....I knew any mistakes no one will criticize me no one going to catch and point out my mistakes.....I always gave good presentation and thought i am good at it until this day......

so just 3 days before the workshop at my institute.....i was asked to prepare a seminar.....well my boss is a sweetheart she wanted me to feel good and that i should not feel left out that’s the reason she asked me to present.....well i was happy cause the topic given to me....oh i was familiar to it...I happily prepared a tutorial for the participants and made it as simple as possible with all the snapshot of the steps they have to follow...... made a presentation for my self....showed it to a colleague.....minute changes were suggested and things were great....

This was a 3 day workshop my seminar was supposed to be on the 3rd day...great i was prepared before the 3rd day......

So here comes the D-Day. As I was not sooo familiar with the topics on that day i could hardly help out people on the 1st day.....Then came the 2nd day...good day… until madam asked me to present today...hey but my presentation was on the 3rd day na.....ya ya ya...but ma’am wanted to finish of the third day early...so it was decided ill present today but tutorials will be held next day..."is it fine with you neha????" "Yes ma’am I can handle it...no probs ma’am"........... 'Damn what a fool I am y i nodded to it...'

Well I had an hour to go through what I have...well i knew I can do it...

But i think here i was wrong I tried my best to prepare in the time left.....

Time flew so fast and 1 hour was gone....I found my self standing on the dice in front of 15-17 people who were specialist in their own field. My co workers were new to me (except 1-my classmate) and audiences were new. I cleared my throat and hey where my voice i kept staring the board and my presentation displayed on it. ha for 1st 2 minutes for the very first time in my life i could speak nothing....

Slow words came in and i started my talk on databases. I kept reading the slides looking at my laptop and not the audience. I forgot every question that i decided to ask the participants in order to interact with them. All I knew was to get out of this dice. I didn’t care whether they understood anything or not. Slowly and slowly i became normal....my shivering was reducing...words came out were now steady and now I could look into the eyes of the audience...

ha ha ha ha ha to my surprise I found half of them sleeping... mine was the last lecture of the day just before lunch...some were not bothered some were too hungry to listen and some were enjoying their sleep in the dark AC hall.....

Any ways I completed the talk somehow
I know very well mine was the worst a ‘bad impression’ on the staff of my new office. Luckily my boss was out for some work she entered the hall when my lecture’s question-answer session was about to end. She helped me answering few doubts and was there for my rescue.....

But still if she would have been listening to my talk she would have fired me immediately….

I have never been sooooo bad in life…I don’t know how many of them were interested or rather listening….i don’t how many understood and how much they understood…but I was glad its all over…I thought next day my tutorials will rock….they will need no support no help…I had made it sooo damn simple each step screenshots and very easy words…….so was thinking next day will be impressive

I think you guessed it right next day was worse. They asked sooo many doubts sooo many…they never so hyperactive in other tutorials as they were in mine….each second a hand raised and they called….finally in the end few people gathered me and asked me to show whats going on in the tutorials…bang!!!!!!!! This was my worst moment……

and then some 1 wispered “if she does it will get over soon this is the last tutorial of the workshop…I wish this gets over soon yaar” So now I realized they were not interested in computers at all…..this databse making was boring and not happening for them….they didn’t have to use it in future so they didn’t want it……sahi hai whats wrong in that

Par in sab main
1> mera popat hua
2> impression down hua
3> frustration hua
4> and……and…. My topic was not what they wanted….

Ha it’s all done…hope I do wel next time……at least I learnt that I need more public exposure to be confident speaker.
Ha ha ha ha aha ha ha aha ha…..yeah hai meri kahani

वक्त नहीं

वक्त नाहिं

yeah meri kavita nahi hai. aur nahi isse maine likha hai...mujhe ek dost ka mail aya aur mujhe yeah kavita achi aur sachi lagi so main publish kar diya

हर खुशी है लोगों के दामन में,

पर एक हँसी के लिए वक्त नहीं

दिन-रात दौड़ती दुनिया में,

ज़िंदगी के लिए ही वक्त नहीं

माँ की लोरी का एहसास तो है, पर माँ को माँ कहने का वक्त नहीं

सारे रिश्तों को तो हम मार चुके,

अब उन्हें दफनाने का भी वक्त नहीं

सारे नाम मोबाइल में हैं,

पर दोस्ती के लिए वक्त नहीं

गैरों की क्या बात करें, जब अपनों के लिए ही वक्त नहीं

आंखों में है नींद भरी,

पर सोने का वक्त नहीं

दिल है ग़मों से भरा हुआ,

पर रोने का भी वक्त नहीं

पैसों की दौड़ में ऐसे दौड़े, कि थकने का भी वक्त नहीं

पराये एहसासों की क्या कद्र करें,

जब अपने सपनों के लिए ही वक्त नहीं

तू ही बता ऐ ज़िंदगी,

इस ज़िंदगी का क्या होगा,

कि हर पल मरने वालों को, जीने के लिए भी वक्त नहीं!

I wonder if I could write such meaningful and beautiful peoms. But iI guess in this poem, poet has given true meaning of being busy. What v miss in our life when we are busy

Rain Rain you came again!!!!!!!!!!!!

This rain's shadow on the dashboard of my car

Hey its Rainy season again. This is said to be pre-monsoon still but what condition it has made of my Mumbai. Every where water, water and more of water. Potholes have started making its appearance, definitely which is not visible when its raining. Ha it has because it’s full of water in them. So what do you think rains are good or have more disadvantages. Of course advantages are more. It’s impossible to live with peace the whole year if no rains in these 3-4 months occur. They play vital role in life.

If we try to analyze rains make nature happy. Trees turn greener and beautiful, small grasses grow which gives the whole environment a new fresh look. So if nature is happy we can’t complain about the season.

I just love rains when
1. I am at home with whole of my family and its raining outside. From my balcony the site is breath-taking during rains.
2. When I am in office. Well no site view from there but I feel safe he he he
3. When I am on a hill station in natures lap.

Well this is picture taken from net...not my creation
And I hate it
1. When I am traveling…in trains, bus so much of delays and traffic every where yaar.
2. When I am driving my car its so risky

But any ways rains are a big relief after bad summers in Mumbai and it gives us water to drink and other purpose the whole year, so better reasons love you rain.

Just hopping this year rains are better than past….
