Here is the chairman of a World famous billion dollar company NAK. Don't ask the expansion of NAK.This guy is with me since last 5yrs. We were classmates. I met this guy near Roby Bhai's Pan shop. We gave each other a casual smile and tried to talk. But we couldn't find any topic to discuss. That was the first meet. I thought "What a decent boy?"(my mind cheated me). Then one day he came to Hostel. Now he was my neighbor. Since than we enjoyed a lot. Lot means lllllloooootttttttttttt......continuing. All those bottles of 8pm, vonamor and all those drags of mj that we shared made our friendship stronger and stronger. A smile comes in face when ever I remember those Exam time preparations. making cheats together, laugh sessions in the nights just before exam, going to gym and chena rabidi,ride on ameets safari(kinetic not tata).......and lot more.

Well... Where do I begin.. Have never seen him except for some pics ( I must say, his bald look is not at all appealing!!) over the past many years.. have seen many shades of him ( the good, the bad 'n the ugly)... He can be a real sweetheart.. knows how to swoooon a girl ( tends to be romantic at times).. Has an admirable imagination.. A very good listener... A laudable "talker"... His writing skills are quite creditable (believe me, can write a best seller someday if he wishes to)... His sense of humour is bit on the low side ( his PJs are umm...er..!!).. Okay..so all this was about the " Ameet Nanda".. talking about him as a friend.. he's really sticked with me through everything, tolerated all my mood swings... initially when we met I just loved showing him my Attitude ( with a big A) 'n he in turn did the same.. I've had loads of memorable moments with him... the marathons we used to have.. sharing songs.. discussing weather.. me continuously nagging him to shave 'n shower.. the fights... the long mails... my "the" letter to him.. wen i just met him.. he actually seemed quite weird to me.. but somehow we ended up being very compatible.. he's been my best friend.. sometimes my best enemy...boy how I hated u at times ;) (dun worry, it was all temporary!)... my honest adviser.. an even more honest critic... he's been everything I could've ever asked in a friend.. though the word's too small to describe what he's been to me.
note: A biig hug to u... thanks for helping me live.. may God always be with you. Stay happy ( u deserve it baby..).. 'n stay the same. You are the best player i've known in 'The Game'. Cheers to u!!

Ameet-one of the worst worst friends i ever had,so ugly,so bald,so devastating..we came to know each other thru me..i still remember the first day i had talked to him..tht was just a "hi",and his "nonsense" smile.& thts the beginning of a pathetic relation of two friends..oh wht a waste of time we had!!thanks that we are not in the same company..hope we wont enjoy the same bt so lucky are they who r nt gonna b there.
This person always makes me feel so useless whenevr am with him(i dunno why:P)
thanks for being a rude & rowdy listener.always stay un-happy..and ya..just 5 days yaar,ro yaar,senti maar yaar.comeon yaar.:)):D
"Smile, an everlasting smile A smile can never bring you near to me,Don't ever let me find you right,Coz that would never bring a tear to me.."

Ameet....hmmmm ! wat to talk about him?? hes is from the same place as mine but we never met till graduation and KIIT. I remeber i met him for the first he had been staying alone in a room meant to be a closet. I dragged him with me and since then we hav been best of buddies. This guy is cool! He wd study just before the exam and score a gracious 8 which i never managed to do. He is very lazy. He wd clean up his bed just before his ,in case, parents wd be visiting the hostel. We had an amazing grp in coll though i joined in late. The movies , the outings at the Shikharchandi, all haunt me! The thing I always to snatch from Ameet was his spark ( dont be confused ... I am talking about his vehicle). He was gr8. It wd stop working whenever he used it. It was fun being wid Ameet. We wd make a beeline for the babes in the evening at the Juice Center! U remember Manisha Joshi of course. I dont know I never write testimonials but i felt like writing for u Ameet!
Backing up everything, fore sighting the deletion act of my Orkut account soon.

2 years, no fluke
Hard to believe, but my work ex will read 2 years and some days from today for another year !!
It took a lot of me,to have achieved this. Now I feel, I am a bit more matured, I understand that I go to my office to work. I feel that work is not play. I feel girls in office are colleagues, and guys in office are colleagues as well. I address people who are 10 years senior to me with their names, with ease. That sick leaves should only be taken when you are actually sick. That most important mails are the ones from office and not from your girl friend. That deadlines are set to be met. That coffee/tea are highly addictive.
I understand that there is no shortcut to success, that another 33 odd years, would be not so long a journey, but time after that would for sure be a pain in the ass.
When I try to remember the me I was 2 years back, and the me that I am today, nothing much has changed. Just that Mom has spoke to me a couple of times about marrying [LOL] and you will never see a cigarette in my hand [gave it up coz I am worried about global warming]. I have stopped fretting about life and office.
I used to scream and complain and kick the wall and cry over a healthy package and a good house, of lost love, of company policies, then He told me something, and everything changed.
Somehow, today morning, the weather is English and I feel happy.
He is an alter ego. Who told me this is not important, who made me realize this is.

Elevators are not erratic.
Back to blogging after long, I am here so that I do not disappoint my fans or people who follow my blogs. Hey, guess what, this blog has something to do with disappointment.
Aim : Trying to figure out why not always the best guys finish first.
Scenario 1: Consider this scene. Read carefully
--Begin--
There are two trees, one on each side of a wall of an ancient fort. The fort was built by a king. One day he went to see a "fakir"(Adapting to the classic method of italicizing when "Not so Non-Indian" authors refer to "Indian" terms in Italics.)who was well renowned for bringing prosperity to people. The fakir gave him a rupee and said get whatever you want to buy with it and it will bring prosperity to your country. Disappointed, the king went to the bazaar wondering what he would buy with just a rupee. He saw a person selling seeds. So he approached him and asked how much for a rupee, the keeper replied, as many as you can lift with a finger.
First answer this, how would you keep your finger to lift the maximum seeds with 1 finger ?
The king dipped his hands into the pile and lifted only 2 seeds. Many smart asses like you and me, would have first dipped their fingers into a viscous liquid, so that more seeds would stick to the fingers.
Moving on with the story, he planted the two seeds, one on each side of the fort wall, and later the one inside was healthier than the one outside, but the one outside, bore a lot more fruits [Say 1:100]. King was amazed, when he took better care of the one inside the fort, and it was more healthy, how could the one outside bear better and more fruits? But his question was, how will it bring prosperity to the country ??
--End--
Elevators solve a lot of priority related problems of our life. We can actually learn a lot from them. They know when to go up, when to come down, who should wait and who should not. Now I will answer the king's question with another example, what I call as the classic elevator example.
--Begin--
One day I was having lunch on the penultimate floor of a moderately tall building. After I finished my food, I headed towards the elevator. There were 2 elevators on either side of the building. Now when I went there this is what I observed. I was on the 11th floor. One of the elevator was on the 9th floor and one was on the 5th floor and both were going down. So which elevator should I seek. Forget about me, which one would you ? Is it not the one that that is on the fifth and going down. I did both. Now it happened so, that the other elevator(the one on ninth floor and going down) reached back first. How could an elevator possibly, moving 4 floors behind, come back first??
--End--
Before you see my explanation, I should be convinced you got the problem.
Now the answer to this solves the king's question. Lets assume the scene on any floor. People who see the elevator that is moving ahead, will seek it for sure. Now lets say there are people on all floors. So there will be more number of seeks for the elevator that is moving ahead, than the one that is moving behind. So it will slow down and the one lagging will lead.
Now that's a periodic behavior. Not only that, if there were smart asses like me on all the floors, all of them would seek the one that is behind. Isnt it ?? think of the consequences then. And if the building is too tall, say 1000 storeys, then also the behavior becomes highly unpredictable.
Now the king being dumb, we assume, all his subjects will be dumber. And as the system of government is monarchy, we assume it is not a big kingdom, even if it is , it wont stay for a long period of time. Also we assume that the area of observation is restricted to just both sides of the fort.
Can you think of any answer to the kings question ? Comment now...
