So Life Goes On...

OK, so I've really thought about it, there are not going to be any complains from me this time around, nor would I try to complain about anything more (until and unless it's very important). So I was going to write a post last month about our '10 hours a day of load-shedding', but something stopped me, I saw in the new that some places there was load-shedding up-to 16 hours a day, and then I thought that I was just thinking about my self.
I also thought about writing about the so much (hyped) talked 'Nuclear Deal' but I just did not know how to put about that in words. Anyways, I hope that it really happens and the power problems (crises) in the country end for good. But also do hope that the government would make good use of the 'Nuclear Energy'.
So now, something about me, well, I did get a job, long back but my results weren't out yet. Well, they are now (passed my 6th semester), but still there are problems in it. (Not complaining) Well, I got a KT in the 5th Semester but after clearing the revaluation, I did pass, but in my final result shows it as 'Pass Class', which should actually be 'First Class' coz I got 60+ percentage. Anyways did a round of the university again and hope that everything turns out well.
Say I'll be joining my job from the 20th, one year of training, then lets see, where life takes me to, it's been a long and winding road and it keeps on winding every now and then. Hope you're havin' a very good time

'Till then, Live Life to the Fullest
Take Care!

Is This Some Kind Of A Joke?

The first rains, those first showers that fall on the Earth bring happiness to everyone, but not quiet so for many like me thanks to the MSEB (Maharashtra State Electricity Board). Because when the rains came, they turned down the power supply. It was restored after a couple of minutes but there was another power cut, and then another and another, this went on until late night and then at midnight the power was restored back again.
So when the rain falls there is a problem and the power has to be cut, and this takes place every year, and there’s no solution for it. Sometimes one does feel that the electric board is playing games with the people. And if there is a real problem, then why does the board not take any necessary steps to solve this problem.
And they say that our country is progressing, how can it progress when little matters like these are not looked after properly? Well, here there are only a bunch of people who want to just give trouble to the residents.

My First Official Interview

Today I went to the AXIS Bank at Church Gate for my very first interview. The result, well all was good but I am still not a graduate, so I have to wait till my results come out.
Well, had a couple of interviews here and there, but none official as they were all for minute things. But today was the real test and for me I think I didn’t fair that well, coz I missed out on simple things. All I was asked to do was to operate MS Word and MS Excel, I did well, but certain simple things which should have been done right were done wrong - well yes I was a little nervous but at the end of it all I really feel I should have concentrated better.

Incomplete - Nobody's Perfect

Whatever I write (here), whatever I do – whatever happens is all incomplete I guess, because nobody's perfect. Whatever I want to say in my blog may not be complete (with all the detailed information) but for me, I think it is enough to send the message out loud and clear.
I write my blog as and when any thing crosses my mind (I only need an active and a proper internet connection for that) I write it with a purpose, to ask a few questions sometimes. I only wish that my blog is easy to be understood and that there are no problems as such.

Thankyou

Mumbai To Bombay

We live in India, a free and a democratic country. But to live in this so called democratic country, we have to live in a communal divide. It was in 1990s when the Shiv Sena launched a campaign to rename the city (of Bombay) – from Bombay to Mumbai. Even the other cities like Bangalore – Bengaluru, Calcutta – Kolkata, etc followed suit in a few years time by changing the names just to fit in to their locality, but why do we need this – I don't seem to understand. Does a Human Being change with a change in the name? Then the same goes with the cities.
Everyone loved the previous name, but some minds wanted to change that. And if anyone uses the word 'Bombay' again, there's a fume and attack on those people/institutions. They want the city to (forcibly) accept the name 'Mumbai'. They say that the use of the word 'Bombany' was like a slap on the face of the 105 or so martyrs who had fought for the state of Maharashtra. Well, I say during their time the city was called as Bombay and they had no problems with it so why do some have a problem now?
First it was using the regional languages (that changed Bombay to Mumbai) then an ante North Indian moment – forcing is not accepted in a free Democratic country. This does affect the lives of other people who just wish to live in a free, safe, democratic Bombay, Mumbai or whatever you may call it...
