Happy :)

When you talk to few people you just love those moments and really i just want to make this a part of HUM-TUM story.

As few lines came up in my mind which can take place in my HUM-TUM blog but now i don't want to start HUM-TUM again as i just want to come up with something different but not getting a time for think although these few lines pop up in my mind but it mainly relates to HUM-TUM.

Sometimes instant conversation between 2 friends and some conversation or things come out from somewhere that you never felt that it can be said by this person but this thing make you feel how good your friendship and trustworthy.


A same thing happened with me as i was talking to one of my best buddy and an unexpected line told by that friend made me felt so good. It was just an awesome feeling and it made me believe that friends never say that they care for You but they just do. Some are those who shows how much caring they are but those people were never good friends and they will  never be good friends as they do things for their profits and their definition of friend changes with the time or with conditions :)


FRIENDSHIP is like a violin... music may stop now or then, but strings are always attached. like wise even if u be in touch or not .. you are always REMEMBERED !!!!

Return of HUM-TUM!!!!


I was just sitting reading my old blogs and then i started reading my HUM-TUM blog and then I found there should be a sequel of HUM-TUM blog and decided to write Return of HUM-TUM...
As I said in my last blog that this blog is about two persons aka character who are great friends and how they talk or behave with each other, it’s just part of my imagination and resemblance to anyone is totally coincidental...
This blog is about the characters Ankush Bohra aka Anku and Sonia Bhatt aka Sonu, from the blog post HUM TUM,though it’s not really a sequel, you can read HUM TUM for the introduction to the characters !!Somehow, I love the names Anku n Sonu for reasons unknown to me..


Finally lets starts the conversation :

Hello!! Hi SB!
Hi AB, GM J!!!
GM?? Its  4 pm...
Its proverb in our country.. jab you talk first time to anyone in a day.. you should say GM!!
Ok.. bhasandevi.. mein aapke pravachano ko samajh gaya...
Good.. good.. :D
You know Sonu, I am very very happy today..
 kyu happy ho.. kabhi to dukhi bhi ho jaaya karo.. ab bolo kya hain tumarhi khushi ka ganda sa reason..
kya yaar.. I am happy and want to share with you and you are behaving like this.. you are bad.. not bad very bad...
Ab bologe nautanki maharaj!!!!

Yaar u know DM.. I just want to forget him.. but in some or other way his memories comes in my mind..
Dino Morea.. From when you start liking him?? J
Dino Morea?? DM stands for Dilip Mathur... and this is for Hundredth time that I am telling you about him...Huh!!!
Hundredth time.. you have told thousand times or more than that but I have told you just change ur mind.. forget about past.. now you have entered in new phase of life.. so just try to enjoy that.. chalo lets meet at CCD.. We will talk there  vaise bhi its been long time we met
Thanks!!! Sure.. Will be there in 30 mins J
Why thanks?? ;)
AB nikloge ghar se.....
Ok meri amma!!!
And both Anku and Sonu meets at CCD..and they took their permanent seat at CCD.. and both started their bakwas..
Sonu first we order something for drink after that we can chat..
ok then order it...
Give me 200.. 60 for my tea and 120 rupeesfor your coffee..
Ye lo.. but kabhi to paise lekar aaya karo..
Jab sethani saath ho to  why should I  bring the money..
So how you feeling Sonu.. ab alright or still thinking about DM..
Ab to I am in Chillax mood.. vaise bhi tumse mil kar sab kuch mast ho jaata hai..
You again copying my dialog J
Huh.... huh... huh....Copyright hain kya tumarha???
Tum yaha mujhse fight karne aaye ho ya baat..
FIGHT FIGHT and FIGHT!!!
Fir baton se kyu.. ek WWE ka match hi khel lete hain..
Ok, I am ready..
Nahi karni mujhe fight Sonia Bhatt..
Jaldi haar maan li.. Good for your health Ankush Bohra..
I know that madam J

Ok you tell what about your new friend Simran Gupta.. Did you talk to her again??
Yeah had chat with her.. chat kya talked to her on phone also.. she is so nice..
With any girl you talk, I always get this line from you that she is so nice... uske alawa bhi kuch bata sakte ho..
I know I can tell other thing also ;) but tum sun nahi paoge na J
Aisa nahi lag raha hain ki tum kuch jyada hi bol rahe ho...
Ab tumse kya jyada kya kam.. You are my best best best frnd!!!
Thanku n that I know Mr. AB!!!! J
And finally you are getting married.. so forget that DM and accept this guy in your life..
I accepted him already and with time everything would be normal. But I just love to share with you so I told those things which was bothering me.. because I know you have medicine for everything..
Mein to hoon hi aisa.. good, cooperative,understanding.. n nanhi si jaan...
Ohhhhhhh.. ye tuamrha nanhi si jaan wala dialog kab band hoga.. and khud ki taarif.. kitni karte ho ek din mein..
Jab mein bada ho jaugna.. n mein apni taarif kaha karta hoon L
Maaaf karo bhagwan mujhe.. bacho lo mujhe is ladke se..
Mujhse to ab tum kab ke bach gaye.. ab jiske saath fase ho.. use bachna hain to batao J
Shuttt uppppp AB!!!!
L... mein tumse katti..
Ho gaya.. ab chala jaayein yadi tumarha nautanki se pet bhar gaya to J
Okies!!!!



While they were coming out of the Cafe Coffee Day.. Sonia started talking again..
Anku, it was nice to see you after a long time..
Yeah, it was good to see you Sonia Bhatt..
I just noticed something about you.. you called me with my full name whenever you are emotional..
hmmm.. really..You think I am an emotional guy?
Of course..n dont you dare challenge my observation..
Never.. n I know you can read me better than anyone.. I have never seen a girl like you who is so far or I can say not reachable type girl and for me you are a girl who is so near to me like a blink of an eye..
Ohhh.. tum na.. You are my best frnd stupid.. Now tell me what about your other friend Shweta...
Yaar she is gem of person..
That I know.. but where is she now a days..
She is just busy with her marriage life.. that’s why don’t get so much time to talk to her...
I can understand.. chalo fir you enjoy.. bye byee.. and they both hugged each other and they noticed so many people were staring at them, God knows why...



They left but still Sonia was thinking when she was sleeping that day.. "Why were all those people staring at us at the CCD. All friends hug each other, whats the big deal. Anku is stupid guy but he is a perfect friend for sure...but then, he is such an idiot, he's absolutely hopeless, pathetically stupid..Why am I thinking about it.. Whats happening to me.. naah.. he is just awsome as frnd... He just made me fel special, he shows me I am more worthy than what I feel about me...and the best thing about him is that he love and respect my people or my close friends and somewhere that bring me more close to him... So, I am lucky enough to have a friend like Anku..We'll always be friends..no..good friends..in fact..best friends..always and forever..God knows why I had started thinking like a silly bimbo.. Now time to talk to my future hubby else he will forget me and fir mein uske liye ek kahani ban jaungi..

And here Anku.. just busy in his own dreams of different girls but somewhere he also knows when it comes to SB, he never able to flirt with her.. why he feels so good and happy when he talk to her..Anku,almost laughing at himself now what they talk.. from which topic they start to talk and where the thing ends.. Its just incredible...was still not able to sleep...thinking that its just so great to have a friend who will always be there for you..thinking bout so many things.and realizing that friendship is the loveliest relationship you can think of..and feeling that life is just so sexy n he could not stop smiling.....


And as this story ending and both Anku and Sonu got lost in their dreams, I realized while writing this I remember each n every friend of mine with whom I feel any type of connection...  FRIEDNS ROCK!!!!

Har ek friend jaruri hota hain...


I always have bad habit that whatever i write or whatever philosophies I used to give on my blogs were somewhere related to friends or friendship... and today when I am thinking about all these things then I thought they are the one who make me happy or sad so thinking about them give me a sigh of relief...

For me there is lot of difference in this friendship day n last years’ friendship day.. As this time I am in India last time I was in UK but I have celebrated at that time also as I always have company of Jegs to enjoy each and every moment which I spent in Ipswich..But the most memorable thing about that whole one year was that I have got lot of friends whom I used to know but in this one year they came very close to me..
Some of my friends are just good enough.. yeah we always fight when we talk but they are just with full of love and life and I always miss them and mainly all of them are in Blr and for that reason I hate all of them J
Then there comes other type of friends whom if you say friends people always take out a wrong meaning out of that word friendship but really it’s start with dosti and ends with dosti...  there are many girls whom we talk but few of them just go inside your heart and make you feel like candle and burned you from your core and I have that burning desire for few girls.. Now I will say again that don’t take this word burning desire in other sense as may be I  am in love with all these girls but I am not in relationship with any of them and just respect them for their friendship they have with me and kya pata may be in few weeks or months there will be name of my soul mate also in my upcoming blogs J

One of my school frined do a lot for me.. and I felt that as I am handicapped when I feel that she do so much for me as I am not able to give 1 percent of what she do for me and then there is one girl from our UP.. kehne ko naam to hain SS but she is not at all specialist, lekin ek khasiyat hain inki that she is with full of energy but jab baat dosti ki aa jaati hain to inka sara dimag gayab ho jaata as she is unbeatable in that area and fir saari energy choo mantar ho jaati hain.. Hats off to SS.. A rare GEM!!!(and all people loves you ,this line I am adding after I have read what Ritika wrote for you in FB).. then comes my lovely chotki aka Sonal Mathur.. how much she scold me that I know but she always scold me coz she want that something good I should do and now a days to wo ek baat ke liye hi sabse jyada daat lagati hain and that is whom should I choose as my life partner J
And finally two more ladies with name starting with S and S.. What I say about two of you, as I always feel that I just become child infront of you..  Nothing more to say. FULL STOP!!!!

But other than all these cute girls I have long list of boy friends, I want to mention name of few and I know I will miss many others names which I should have to mention but those cute frnds atleast deseve the place in this blog, so list starts:
Eshant,Pravesh,Vishesh,Murgi,tambi,Sumit,Sachin,Himanshu,Rahul Bhargava and there are 3-4 names which I want to write but something is stopping me that I too don’t know but you people are special as name always not matters...

And all of my boy friends are just cute and I love to spend time with them as they just provide me the PLEASURE!!!
Again I will say not concentrate on the content but try to feel my feelings for all of them.. Somewhere in my life I always learn something from them and I feel that they are very good as teacher as I am very bad as STUDENT...

And I should say thanks to GOD that I got so many nice teachers to teach me good learning lesson of life.. Don’t want to end this blog but its just 11 59 and I have to publish this blog..

HAPPY FRIENDSHIP DAY TO ALL OF YOU!!!!

Love to be Immature!!!!

As your grown up, your maturity level increases..you are more sensible and with lot more responsibilities on you.. Some people love to being mature.. love to advice people and really some are very good enough in that.. they know what to say and what not to.. sometimes they want to say but keep their mouth shut or just dont say as they feel the platform or environment is not correct to say all those things and they able to keep things with them and sometimes they just say good or best frnds still they dont express all the things and that shows how good they are at maturity level.....And with few words like i dont know, pata nahi or i dont have answer they able to change the topic...

Now when i see myself and compare with all these people.. i find myself so immature.. for me when someone becomes close to me, i just dont care what he or she will think about me.. i love to express myself.. i just say what i feel.. never care that it will make my image as a good boy or bad boy.. and whn you are talking or sometimes making a joke.. you just say something which you dont have to as people can take in other way... and my this image make me bad in front of some people whom i think they care about me or treat me as their best buddy..

Now if someone comes to you and ask why you should feel that i treat you as special person then i dont know what answer should i give to that person..and reason for asking that ques was the immaturity level shown by me.. I just thought then why you told me that you are one of my special frnd.. I just hate fake promises.. i hate people who show they are good but at the back they are not.. i love people who hate you but they say that they dont like you.. or i like those people whom you give special attention but they always say i never deserve this special attention from you and i will never able to give so much back to you...or or I just love those people for whom if you just show our love and concerns then they will give back to you so much that you never able to forget them..

Really in  short span of life, we all come across different types of person... and some people change themseleves to make others happy but i will remain the same...


As my perspective of life is that if you treat someone as special then tell him or her that you are special to him, share each and every thing with that person.. tell that person when you are feeling good or bad.. let him or her know that how do you feel when you talk to him/her...may be sometimes this shows that you are not mature enough but sometimes immauriy with your frnds make you a good person..So if according to me this is not immaturity but this is your clean and pure heart with no fake things in your heart...

I always want to remain this type of immature guy.. and really when i talk to few people i feel like that i am a small children and pata nahi kya kya bol jaata hoon and baad mein sochtha hoon aaj to kuch jyada ho gaya.. but mein aisa hi hoon.. n i will remain the same!!!!!

As i told earlier also I Love being WHAT I AM!!!!

Unpredictable Thoughts

Now a days.. or i can say in last 3 month i have changed totally.. I have never done so much of work.. or still i dont know what i am doing.. but i am just loving it what i am doing now a days..

Lot of thoughts coming in my mind.. but there are few thought which always remain in your mind and you feel or somewhere you know it will never be got succeed but having those thoughts in your mind make you feel happy.. and i am feeling the same...

Last one month was just awsome in another way.. Some people make you feel special then you feel good but there are few people who are special for you and when they feel your importance then you are a lucky man..

And overall life is becoming so much hectic.. i am not able to do any of my fun loving activities..  Its time to do something new... :)

Back to India and the welcome drink - Tzinga


Home coming was always going to be a tricky affair especially when you are coming from a long work trip of UK. I am happy to be here – will be meeting parents and other friends after a long time. Another thing I noticed was the change in the products being offered. India is I guess producing quality day by day. So be it outsourcing or beverages! We are going the smart way. Outsourcing is my area of work and I can go on and on, but I found an interesting product nearby Cybercity – Tzinga.

Tzinga is an energy drink at Rs 20. Though it is cheap, but it is an energy drink with all required components. It does give you the kick of caffeine, which is immediately noticed. The most astonishing thing is the taste. How have they invented that? That too at Rs 20! There packing in pouch have helped them to reduce the cost and is nice, provided public don’t litter them. I was really curious to figure it out about their product and other hows, so went to their site. The site is quite corporate type and boring in looks, nor is it informative. Hope! They will channelize more energy into their site and provide more information on the background. I really like the tropical trip flavour which has mix-fruit base, tastes quite nice. Other flavours – lemon and mango are more strongly flavoured like their names, but tastes well. Tzinga prime USP for me is its taste, it really tastes different and likable. May be they should advertise it more as I don’t see their hoardings, ads anywhere. Nevertheless, I really like this product and predict a good future for them. Products like these can really take off and highlight the point that India can produce better products with rational pricing which suits the pocket of the localized world.
Was never expecting this kind of serving on my return…nice welcome drink to have.

Bye Bye IPSWICH

Finally the LAST day of IPSWICH arrived, which bound to be happen but it would be arriving so late, i never thought that.. this day was happened to be11th Dec but happening on 22nd April..

Going back to India, dont know how i am feeling but a sense of happiness would always be in my mind when i think that i will  meet my parent after a long time.. meet my old buddies and in the end I am in INDIA.. so it would make me happy..

Yeah somewhere i am becoming little bit emotional when i was leaving the office on Friday.. was thinking of the first day when i arrived here i.e on 30th June and feeling like that where i am and what would i will do here but after 10 months all things which i have done here giving me a satisfaction and as well as making me proud..

Lot of people i met and roam around in Ipswich but few of them are bloody special which i have already mentioned in my last blogs... Thanks to all of you again to make my Ipswich stay so memorable...

Again special thanks to Jegs ... and then very special thanks to Shobhika.. You are amazing as friend and thanks for all such beautiful memories.

Now lot of friends who turned into very good friends after i arrived in Ipswich.. Still i dont know how this happened but atleast it happened for me and will want to meet those friends.. And then in the end want to experience back those Gurgaon roads and traffic.. those pit holes.. it was used to irritating but now i am here so i want to experience back all those things when i will come back to India :)


Bye Ipswich and thanks for giving me such a happy and enjoyful 10 months...


And INDIA, desi boy is coming back to do ROCK ON!!!!!

Zindagi, life and truth...


Life is not running.. Its need a REST!!!!

But i am looking for some other things and i am searching from my near about but that i have to discover in myself.... I know somewhere i pissed off, somewhere i know some section of people hating me the most because truth is always bitter, i am not a diplomatic person neither i am a sweet talker. Still looking for my answers but still all my questions are unanswered and just getting thousands of excuses for each question, still i dont know when people do the mistake why they don't have this much courage to say that yeah we will do in this way only.. I am not a saint but atleast if i do mistake or if i do bad with anyone i commit i have done it.

Sometimes you start to believe on some section of people but by there one bad action you loose trust on them, you feel are they reliable enough and you feel bad because you were wrong somewhere and you opened you heart in front of them.Nevertheless, i am just trying to make myself free from those section of people.

And in the last some section of people loved me and i loved them in the same way.. yeah sometimes you cant give your love to each and every people in same quantity but the thing that matters is the respect, according to me earning respect and love is more than earning money and by saying this line i am not saying that i dont want to earn money.. I too greedy for money  As i too was literary dying to come for ONSITE but when i came i never cried in front of anybody that i have to stay here for specific period of time but in the end i am happy that i stay here more than what i expected but in the end i got some pinches which made me feel so bad....


But now going to WALES.. Ready for FUN and last few joyful days left in UK and i want to make myself drown.......

And in the end giving myself some REST!!!!!!!

Ipswich Memories

Human mind always try to run faster than the time, and always think about the future perspectives... And i am just imagine or dreaming the moments when i will land to India.. Yeah its 9 months only but i am missing badly the Indian land,but with missing India i am just thinking what i have done here in my Onsite stay and all the beautiful moments started coming in my mind and somewhere it make me HAPPY!!!!

Really i am not able to imagine that 10 months back i was just want to come UK, I used to imagine that what would be the life there and now after spending so many good and bad moments here, i will go from here with some very good memories and few bad incidents which going to be happen in my 10 months tenure but all the bad moments belongs to professional work but other than those few incidents if i talk about my life here, it was awsome..

When i came to UK, i came with mixed feelings as i know i have to work hard as there would be extra responsibility on me as compare to Offshore but with the work i also want to enjoy the time whatever i have with me..In the starting i got a good support of Aayushi and really due to her i never felt i was in new country, coming in 192 bus and only doing bakwas baatein it was just amazing..after few months she went back to India and then lot of chit chat started with Isha.. And then on each Friday night me,Saket and Isha used to roam around Docs and before that we used to have tea at anyone's place and if not then used to have shake or coffee at McD... Sorry Isha for using word lot of i should use "KHUB" :)...


And then i got my return ticket for 11th Dec and was started feeling so excited about that  but at some project level something happened and it changed to 23rd Dec and during that time Shobhika also reached UK. and then after 2-3 days it changed to 31st Dec.. and on 13th Dec i got call from Chinmoy Sir that i have to stay here more for my new project or new team...And now my chit chat, fights and work started with SS, here SS refers to Specialist Services as well as Shobhika Srivastava....

And then my unexpected stay in UK starting extended through week through months, i never knew till when i have to stay here but i was just enjoying my work, and during this time some bad moment also came when i felt like then i just run away from here but i have given my best and i know i would not be getting a good award for that but that was not in my control, i know one thing that during my tenure i have done all the work here selflessly but sometimes you should be selfish then only people give credit to YOU :)

But after coming from office if i need a friend whom i can talk and discuss then i always have one, there were lot of fighting but whenever i need a moral support or someone whom i can share, i always have one and i feel good for that.. 

Now when i was writing down all those moments then one person name is popping in my mind again and again and without his name i cannot have this fun and masti in Ipswich and that person is Mr. Jegs, from the day one when i entered in his home and he made Dosa for me and till now he is always ready to help me.. Making my bday special and many more countless things.. Thanks Jegadis!!!!


Lot of good memories of Ipswich and still i feel last few days will be as good as what i have in last 9 months, and then back to India where i just want to go badly!!!!

Congrats TONdulkar!!!!

Yesterday i was not feeling well but in the end it became blessing in disguise for me as i was able to witness the Sachin's 100th 100.. Awsome feeling he gave us again..


I still dont know why some section of people say bad about him, and i dont know how can anyone comment on him.. when those people were not doing anything in their life, i feel people who are frustated with their life can say bad thing about him..

This is the time to just make ourself i lost n the old memories of Tendulkar's innings.. time to feel the joy he given us lot of times. Today i have watched his 5-6 iold nnings and when i see him playing shots, i just feel so good... a different happiness comes to my face...


SRT deserves a bow from every Indian... and Congrats once again to master blaster for such an achievement!!!!!

Thought of a lost mind

Sometimes becoming little bit spiritual gives you the energy.. i tried it today and thought of GOD for sometimes but nothing good happened.. was feeling bad so the same i updated my negative state of mind status on FB..

When people update their negative status on FB then they dont want tat everyone came to know about tis thing but really they want that some of their close ones should get to know this and atleast they can show their concern..

With the same state of my mind i have updated my status and as expected, my best frnd pinged me.. tried to make me laugh.. gave me lot of options and still i was LOW then came with final solution that in this much cold take bath with cold water so you will feel sick and atleast due to that you will sleep and then you will not feel bad and neither alone..And this is how you came to know the importance of some people in your life.. whatever happens to you but when you are in bad phase, these type of friends will be surely going to help you.

In the end i got my last suggestion that i should write a blog.. because when you are alone then writing down your thoughts make me feel good.. i am not writing down my all thoughts but just writing down the things which i think i can shared with everyone.

January 2012 : Sour but Sweet

This blog comes as a random post, as i thought of writing something because sometimes when i feel weak, i start to write because my nerve cells convey message to me that blogging energises me.. and in the end if i am able to come up with a very good blog then i feel happy in myself.

I would say January month was quite a different month for me as compared to my other 6 month in UK. there are lot of reason why i am saying this and the first important one is the work i have done or the efforts i put in my work to reach to a certain level and then lot of happenings in personal life. Scoldings, fighting and many more things..

In the starting of this month, my best frnd told me she will write blog and give to me n then i can post with my name but she is a busy girl now :) I think after reading this line she able to remember her old promise...

Like blogging gives me energy, same thing happens with me when i talk to some specific person/ friends in life..

I just feel like rejuvenate when i talk to them, and when i dont talk to those friends for long time then i feel something is missing for me.


Same happened with me in the starting of this month, was badly want to talk with one friend but due to something, i cant able to talk with her. The reason why we not talking was so stupid but we didnt talked so much.. and then when i talked to her after 20 days, it felt like heaven.. I feel so good and that i cannot able to explain in words.. This same thing applies for one more friend of mine but i will not write anything related to that as I am not authorize to write about that friend :)

Last to last week was a scolding and quarell week for me due to some very bad reasons i had a very bad saturday.. Still all are potraying themseleves as a correct person and trying to find fault in others but I would know that somewhere i was not wrong and so i dont care what people say and think about me.

But overall a happy month with lot of smiles, emotional talks and longs talks with some of my friends!!!!
