December 31 st , isn't this day hit differently? Kind of a mixed feeling I am experiencing right now. I am happy that this year isn't bad for me and sad at the same time cause I am getting older. Although I achieved several milestones this year. There are still many spaces where I need to pull up my socks. Yes, I am very much concerned about those areas cause they affect my future. I learned a few interesting facts about myself, which I am definitely not going to mention here. But recapping about this year was overall successful. Hoping 2022 will also be good for me. Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light. - Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore The year was full-packed and occupied with my 10-8 routine job, but somehow I managed to arrange a time to try new things and especially add new hobbies. We bought new plants and renovated the porch area of my house. Now my weekend's morning spend there having breakfast w

If you are not a celebrity, then the only special day when you get attention of the universe is your birthday. Every year I keep waiting for this day to feel special and to figure out people with whom I need to maintain relations in future. Sounds selfish? Ok, I am but the thing that matters to me is their effort. I don't mind if you wish me a belated happy birthday. I believe, instead of putting efforts in all directions, it's better to concentrate it in one particular direction. And this way every year I made my special list. And what about those whom I wanted on that special list, but they didn't wish me? So I personally remind them that it's my Birthday. It's 11:40 pm now. Just 20 minutes remaining before this beautiful day ends. This time, it's ending as a memorable birthday for me. I accomplished many achievements on this day. And this could be a reason that I want to frame memory of this day so that someday when I feel low then I can re-live this moment

It was August 15th, 2019. Yeah, it's the Independence Day of India 🇮🇳. And I was spending some peaceful time alone in my small-sized room. All of sudden my phone ringed and there was a call from one of my ex-colleagues. It had a long time since we talk. And my insecurities were confusing me to decide whether to pick his call or not. I was unsure about his purpose of calling, that too in the evening of a holiday. I was like I won't pick the call but at the same time, I wanted to explore other possibilities. While my focus was on watching the incoming call's animation, a debate was taking place inside me. Both the parties, my heart and brain, were giving each other reasons to attend/skip that call. So I was unable to bring any conclusion. Then a memory came up. The memory was about the previous year. When he arranged a small get-together for our group, which consists of my squad, on Independence Day. And this reminds me of all the amazing times which I had with them durin

Have you ever wonder for an instance of a time you are full of resources and then all of sudden you left empty. Since my last post, it has been a long time and today I'm getting a kick to write again. In the past few months, I failed in maintaining this streak. I am not sure exactly what went wrong there. Whether it was my workload or the lack of motivation but I am sure it cannot be the content. There was a time, I was fully charged and filled with contents. I was motivated cause I had a group of people who cherish my attempt of writing this blog. I will not say they are my huge fans, but yeah they are mostly my well-wishers. My stories mostly surround them and we together get a chance to deep dive inside those memories. There is also a group of people who keep correcting me over my silly grammatical mistakes. And I really appreciate their patience and support, cause a good governing body requires feedbacks. Late night is one of the most comforting time zones of my day. I st

Imagine a situation. While scrolling in your phone contact book, a familiar name appears in the list. That name, who once used to be yours one of the frequent contacts. Before you could realize anything, that name connects you with several memories of the past, when both of you were in touch. I bet this is relatable to you. So same with me. It's not our first call to disconnect with these people. Sometimes, we lose touch due to unexpected reasons, over which we do not have any control. In academics, generally, these causes are either stream change or relocation. And in work life, it's mostly the job switch. I remember, when I resigned from my first company. Along with my resignation letter, I was also quitting the bond which I had to have with the colleagues. Although, a few are in touch still there are many who are now just an acquaintance. However, I wonder what if someday I text them, then how will be they going to react? Maybe they actually forgot otherwise they coul

I am a 25-year-old guy, who lived in a time where the mode of communication was only mail, SMS, and phone call. At that time free internet was way costlier and didn't fit in a middle man's pocket. In 2012, I stepped into my adult age. The technical revolution was in boom. From being dependent on SMS and phone call, we shifted to internet-based messaging applications. The Google Play Store's trend list was filled with WeChat, Line, and WhatsApp. It was like a boon to us. These applications were handy, rest you all aware. Honestly speaking I tried all of them, but the Line was decent and all of my gang was active on it. With time, I become more and more dependent upon these applications, and I ended with WhatsApp as the primary messaging application. I still remember I was connected with my family, schoolmates, college mates, neighbors, and even college faculties (and a message away with WhatsApp). Things were balanced and good. During exams, this application transformed in

2017 was over and it windup with several new experiences. From graduating, to have my first salary credited. From leaving the hostel, to start a bachelor's life. Well, there are several more experiences, but I do prefer to stick to the topic of this post. PS: In case if you are unaware of Mishra and Mission, then I will recommend you to check this post first. On my first day of 2018, I visited the Kalka Ji temple. There I got to know that it's a different temple that I used to believe in my whole life. Yes in the past I visited an unknown temple near the Kalkaji Metro station and till that day I was unaware that the temple wasn't the actual Kalka Ji temple (Strange? Yeah, you can expect this from me). Thanks to Mishra for guiding me to right one. On January 5th, I completed my one year of working with the firm. I can bet on your work anniversary, the whole universe will lead your focus to think that it's a suitable time to switch somewhere else. Voila, the same tho

After the successful completion of 7 months at A1/312, we 3 started to notice several issues with the current place. We 3? Yes, Mission returned back. So keep the following issues in mind: Strict rules for bachelors 1-BHK size Unavailability of groceries and "a good" cook Transportation and security issues at night. We 3 mutually decided to shift at some better place. There we can at least get rid of these issues, which are truly frustrating in certain ways. With the help of a Mishra's source, we were able to find a society that was fulfilling our all basic requirements. After completing the notice period and other required formalities, finally we shifted to our new destination A4/312. From the college hostel to societies, I feel the third-floor is constant throughout my journey. No doubt, the new society was way better and developed as compared to the previous one. It was offering us doorstep groceries & food stores, easy 24x7 transportation service, a big lawn wit

After the end of my hostel life, the time is about to step up for the next journey of life, where a person starts to understand a key balance between work and personal life along with all household responsibilities. However, the journey will be going to joyful cause it will be with friends. Now, let me introduce my companions who are going to be with me on this journey. The first friend is Mission. He is my college mate and next-door neighbor in the hostel. In the morning of the exam, you can find me in his room doing stupid stuff with my revision work. So yeah I am very comfortable with him cause he tolerated me for the past 2 years. The Second friend is Mishra. One of my besties and school mate. We know each other for the past 9 years and now we have a rock-solid bond. However, our first meet was not so cool. He sent me to the last bench, on my first day of the new school, cause he wants to share his bench with his bestie. That's past, and now things are quite changed. On the 4
