5000 Views of the Blog, and a Post dedicated to Friends...

This is the first time I am posting on achieving a milestone in my blogging career. Prior to this, I missed all the significant events of my internet space e.g. my blog-anniversary,50 Posts etc. 

I had been awaiting for this day for so long and finally it arrived. On 27 October 2011, my blog touched the 5000 views mark. It's glad to see it growing and now I know of the feeling when one's kid starts walking. It's amazing. I am thankful to all my viewers, followers, criticizers and everyone who has given me input in making this blog more beautiful and worth reading. Would like to mention some of my favorite posts till now:


Innovation is back...Welcome to the blogging world....
The Concept of Free World!!!!
All those days!!!!
I was her fifth.....
I still remember that starlit night...

I have decided to dedicate this post to all the friends who had been the part of my life and this journey towards becoming a better human being. I must consider myself lucky enough to be surrounded by few genuine friends always. Though, through the journey the set of these buddies kept changing but I was always lucky to have 'good' friends. These friends kept motivating me towards achieving the goals of my life. They had always been around, be it a crisis or a celebration. The best thing about being with them is that we can keep talking crap and crap is given attention and discussed seriously. 

If I rewind the cassette called life, it reminds me of few names like Mayank Nagia (a 3rd class buddy), Ravi Kapoor, Pooja, Ashish Mishra, Rishabh Saxena, Rinki, Satish Joshi, Dhiraj (Lala), Kishore, Vinay, Prashant Yadav. All these  people had been with me during my pre-graduation days. A new league of friends belong to the era when my actual career took off. Sandeep Singh, Tushar, Ravi Ramani and Swapnil Bhamre used to be my all time buddies. All of them are well settled now, including me :). 

Then I would like to mention few names who mean a lot to me. Harsh, Pushpanjali, Sumit and Mushfiq and that's it. Being with these four gives me comfort like anything. Though none of us similar and act opposite in our own individual way, but we gel really well whenever we are together. You may not believe but we had been able to manage a get together at least once in a month despite being busy in our own professional and personal life. Sometimes it's a hard believing fact that professional buddies can become so much personal friends that they start playing an important part in your life. I can look towards these faces, every time I am faced with challenges and constraints to overcome, and same applies to them.  

I still don't support the proverb "A friend in need is a friend indeed and I also don't find that Airtel advertisement "Kyuki har ek friend jaroori hota hai" exciting enough, because both these entities picturise friends as a materialistic personality who is either taking help, or helping you. My definition of friend is that they exist to be with you. You might not need them but they are still there to stand by you, whatever, wherever, and whenever it may be. 

Lastly, if you might have dropped by this post and read it completely by mistake. Do drop your take on the word called "Friend".

Thanks for reading me :)

With Love,

Guest Post........."Friends from Jupitor"

Hey Pallies,

If you landed on this page thinking that its Hemant..let me correct you that it's not. I am Sowmya and I am here to write a guest post for this cute blog of my friend.

 

FRIENDSHIP is like a flower blooming every day;
But there are some rare flowers which will be attractive with its nature.
Friendship is like a magical gift;
Where unknown personalities meet & understand each other;
It’s the feel of godliness!
Here we go with a poem about two true friends.........

Our friendship is a beauty;
With “good day wish” as duty;
Happiness is like lottery; But
Our hearts are just pottery!

Act positive towards prank;
Talk everything very frank;
Our rapport reaches rank;
With a pending tanks of thanks!

We are the reflection of our taste;
Treat nothing as waste;
Our faith is like a gum paste!

Here we always pray;
God to every spray;
Best blessing from his tray;
To awash all our grey!

Reason for naming the title so: 

Jupiter is a king of Gods according to “Rome. Myth”
It’s also called “God of rain”.
The personalities of those friends are very cool & to resemble their superiority of friendship!

Days with Sandy....

• What if you had been given an opportunity to express and you have nothing to say?
• What if you desperately want to speak but your thought process does not allow you to speak anything?
• What if you simply start writing your blog without any topic in your mind?
  
  
  And that’s what I am doing today. It’s 6:05 am and I just gave a break to my trainees and took a break from office hours for writing my BLOG. Let me make it clear that I don't have any intention to take revenge from my company by writing my blog in office hours(like Chetan Bhagat, when he started writing five point someone). It has become my friend and I can’t stop myself from posting ‘something’ everyday. Now before you go ahead, let me tell you that ‘something’ is always not interesting so you might end up wasting your time.
  
  
  By the way, I was happy to receive call from Sandy today, as he called me after a long time and wanted to know about my Blog. It made me happy, that he called me and gave me the flash back of those days when our days were so restless that we used to go for a cup of tea to Railway station at 2:00 am in the morning. There was also a phase when our weekend did not pass without having alcohol and smoke. We used to convince our self and give reason behind our alcohol and Smoke.
  
  Thanks for those moments Sandy and let me dedicate some lines to our friendship:
  When the days were restless and nights went sleepless,
  We were least bothered about our lifestyle;
  We tried hard learning from each other and took us out of that mess,
  And cracked foolish jokes to make our face smile;
  I still remember those after dinner walks,
  And philosophy we used to discuss to make this world better;
  We went on waking up nights to have our talks,
  Why did we bother about all the world’s matters?
  
  I still miss those days when I was busy with my so called clients,
  You spent all the Sunday roaming in the ground busy with mind strife;
  I used to regret but did not have any other option in my mind,
  Then we ended with smile and carried the journey called life…..
