GOOD BYE- 2013

One more year comes to an end, It’s 31st December, 2013. The last day to fulfill all our commitments we made to complete in 2013. The last day to see whether we have been successful in executing all our resolutions we made on the first day of the year. The last day to check out the number of people we added in our Friend List and the number of people we lost because of our mistakes. The last day to judge ourselves and analyze the growth in our professional and personal life. 31st December is not just partying for me but it's a day which lets me know what I am and what good have I done in my life. Being a 27 years old boy, I am someone who has the best strength and power to bring any task under execution, so its shameful to see some of my un-fulfilled resolutions..

When 2013 begun, I made some Resolutions:
1^st  was: To start YOGA, Meditation and exercising. Result: NOT SATISFACTORILY. I started but didn’t retain the Momentum.

2^nd was: To start writing my novel that is the biggest dream of my life. I have started it. Yes. Just started it.
3^rd was: To read 20 novels in a calendar year while I have read 10. :-)
So, out of 3 Resolutions, not a single is fulfilled. Hehe..SHAME..!! :-)

Tonight, many would be celebrating at some sponsored event or at a party. I always believe that this class of people are those who wait for a specific day to celebrate themselves and their life. But for me, each day comes with the same enthusiasm of doing something great and celebrating the same by reading any book or writing something. Thus, I also take my Birthday casually. Because, if I'll celebrate these day by doing something too great then it will surely tease other days of my life with arrogance…J

Coming to 2013, let me epitomize the year and write some wonderful things I got to do this year and some beautiful and memorable things I got to witness.

• In the month of April, I booked a flat at Eden City, Kolkata.. and turned one of my dream of having a house into reality.
• The very next month, my younger sister’s marriage took place and she blissfully shifted to her home at Delhi.
• For the first time, I have been to GOA on Holiday with my other 4 colleagues-cum-friends.. and witnesses the 3Sssss.. of that wonderful place.  Everyone enjoyed there a lot.
• Another great experience that I am having is exercising in a gym at my G-House. It has seriously made me stronger and tougher. Also I played too much this year, including football-match at Haldia..
• And I have also visited Devghar “Baidhnath Dahm” & Ramgarh “Rajrappa Temple” for taking the blessings.. and for the first time I was on fasting for 8 long days “in Navratra”.

Currently, I can remember only these many achievements and new things I experienced in the year 2013. There has been many small experiences but I don't want to share all of them as I am not  a ‘celebrity’ about whom you are interested in knowing about. :-) I had few targets in 2013. I achieved many of them. I had a target to finish my CMA examination without any failure but I didn’t appeared. I had a target of reading 20 books but ceased at 10 itself.

There are so many things that I learnt in 2013 about being a better human being that I feel I am a better person who is going into a new year. And there can be nothing better than this to celebrate tonight than anything else. I have learnt how to deal with close people and how to avoid those whom I dislike. Friends are something that everyone in their life has. If they do not, they actually keep remembering those days in school when they had that particular boy or girl sitting beside them on bench which whom he/she shared some beautiful moments of life. But everyone needs friends. Many people disturb and spoil their life for friends while many use them as magic-wand for success. You automatically identify the friends who wish betterment for you and others who pray illness for your life. There would be many who, on your face, would show how much protective and careful they are for you but actually, they are not. I have got this learning in quite an easy way this year. Accordingly, I have filtered people in my life and now I find myself smiling freely without any glitches or hatred for anyone.

It's cool to follow big legends and real megastars, superstars and role models but there are few personalities who become your favorite for a while of time or say, they just get entered in your conscious to stay for a long period of time. There are few people who really motivated and charged me this year by their performances whom I think I should mention:

• I would like to talk about Farhan Akhtar first. This guy is known for being a director, actor, lyricist, poet, singer, writer, producer, anchor etc. but with his role in ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’ he has inspired many.
• The second person whom I am going to talk about is "CNN Person of the Year 2013", Mr. Kapil Sharma, and
• The third person who have inspired me is Arvind Kejriwal. A man who was just a right hand to the India's most celebrated person in 2013.

As I mentioned, there has been many such experience in 2013 which I am in no state to share, currently. In short, I would like to tell that since 2009, all the years has been better than the last ones. And hence, 2013 has been the memorable Year of my life till now. And I would like to thank all my friends and well-wishers for being with me throughout the year, (Specially CP Jain and Ashish Sir). Let's promise that we will stay together in each other's success throughout 2014 too. I hope this year has been good for all of you.

Ending with, A Very Happy Last Day of 2013 to all of you. This year has been the BEST YEAR OF MY LIFE. I hope it is the same with all of you. 2013 will always remain as a good memory to me.

Thanks,

F’Ship to LuV.. (My biggest Mistake)



I met her for the first time at EIRC-Kolkata, on the day of our GDBC’s class. I was sitting in the class with no one around me. Nearly everyone in that class had a friend to chat with or knowing each other (maybe by virtue of their coaching classes). But I had no one with me. I was new to this place and I was searching for someone…. as it was the time when life was pinching me and telling me that I don't deserve to be anyone's friend and I don't deserve to be the part of anyone's company. How much I tried to get into some new friends, I always got ignorance from their side. No one accepted me. The life was diverting towards the state of frustration and depression. I was disagreeing to the fact that I have turned so boring after my student life that I am unable to make a single new friend (except few at my workplace).

While sitting in the class, I was concentrating on Lecture of the faculty and was busy in noting-down the key-points and thinking about my loneliness and why don't I have a single friend with whom I can share everything I have in my heart to speak out. Suddenly, I heard whisperings of few girls sitting behind, I turned a little to give them a dirty look but it doesn’t work and I had to ignore.  All of a sudden our faculty asked to form a group to discuss on some topic; I had no choice other than turning around. Now we were around 7-8 members having discussion on some bull-shitttt topic.

However, I was impressed with the thoughts of Shilpa and liked the way she puts her points during the discussion. In lunch hour when I was having sweets and thinking about her sweet smile, I was scared to see her coming towards me. I never saw her before this day and I was scared that if she will ask me about anything I may be unable to speak as a very long period has passed since I had conversation with any person of my age group. I always got some 40+ (friends of my father, relatives & seniors at my w.place) who always tried to motivate me for my CA Completion & a better carrier as I am yet to clear my CA after 5-6 years of Job. Yes, these 5-6 years made me lose all the confidence I had in me. All the childhood, school & college friends left me because I was making my life terrible and horrible day by day. The profuse entertainment in my life was making everyone go away from me. So, I was bit scared and therefore seeing the people of my age group hesitate me as I lost the confidence of talking to them.

Suddenly, she was standing in front of me and asked, “Amaresh your cell no. pls." I was shocked and inexpressible after listening my name from her. Only thought which annihilate my brain was that she remember my name in few minutes. I shared… and couldn't speak anything after that, even I was also expecting her no. too but I couldn’t ask due to hesitation. In evening we called it a day and I left for HWH stn. as I had to catch a train to Ranchi (my home).

Around 9pm, I saw a motivational msg in my mobile from an unknown no., while I was going through, I found her name in ‘regards’.

Three months are passed away but I couldn’t able to call her due to my busy schedules or may be by hesitation, also meanwhile I got transferred to Noida from Ranchi, but one fine-day I called her asking the updates of Institute & of that crap IT-training, and this is how it all started...

I and Shilpa started talking. I felt quite comfortable talking to her and almost every-time I dialed Shilpa’s  no., she picked it up and I took the where-about of Institute, exams & most imptt. about the postal-papers and dismissed the call. So, she was quite familiar to me and hence I opened the lock of my sealed heart and started sharing my personal stuffs to her one by one. She wasn't ostentatious and this helped me to open up more. She was astonished that I never shared all this with anyone and how could I live with such soreness from so many years without sharing it with anyone.

Now, Shilpa started calling me every night and we used to talk for an hour. She used to ask me various things like my childhood, best moment, favorite movie, my dreams, my passion, my likings etc etc etc. She was very talkative and the best example of proving my statement is that she talked to me incessantly for 1-2 hours several times without break. After that, she used to call me at 10.30 PM after dinner and I used to tell her at 11.30 or 12:00 that we should sleep now otherwise attending office next day can turn into enfilades tomorrow. I started liking her….

It is so obvious that an Indian boy who had no friend from last 5-6 years suddenly got a girl who gave her shoulder to cry and a support to survive will definitely fall in love with her. It was almost 18 months of our friendship and I started liking her after 3 months itself. I didn't knew whether I should tell her my feelings or I should keep it locked in my heart because it may result in our break-up and I would be unable to forgive myself after that.

Finally, one day, I decided that I'll open up my heart to her. I had no friend and she turned out to be the Best Friend to me. This girl having load of her immense studies & some health issues. In spite of that, she always tried to come and met me on my every visit of Kolkata. She used to talk to me day-in & day-out, while walking, while eating and everytime until I used to tell her that I got some work or I am in rush now. After reaching home, she would start messaging me and after the dinner she talked to me on phone for more than 2 hours everyday. I was quite sure that a girl who devoted all her time to me would be surely in love with me like I am.

It was 10.30 PM and I started waiting for her call. At 10.40 PM, my cell ringed and it was Shilpa. Quite late. Those 10 minutes were as long as those 2 years. After talking to her for 30 minutes, I said,"Shilpa, I want to tell you something and I won't take much time otherwise I'll skip it again and it would be impossible for me to say it anytime in future." She replied, "My God, what happened to you? Ok. Say. I am waiting. Do it fast. I am scared." I replied, "Why?" She said, "I never saw you in such a hurry." I said, "But do promise me that you'll not take me as a bad human being after that." She said, "No. I'll not." I started, yes I was stammering but still sounded like KKHH's Shahrukh,. "Shilpa, my life was quite boring until you touched it with your pleasant and sweet nature. I don't know from when and how but I have started liking you. I didn't want to waste more time and as your CWA-Inter exams are about to come and I don't know whether I'll meet you after that or not so I wanted to say it as soon as possible. I love you and I see a great partner in you. Will you love to be the most important part of my life?"
There was a huge silence for almost 20 seconds. I deciphered the fact that the things didn't work out as I thought it would and I spoke with lots of guts, "Shilpa, I am waiting to hear you. Will you please say something?" Again a silence of another 10 seconds. I opened my bloody mouth again, "Shilpa, you talk so much. Please say something right now." At last, she said, "Amaresh, I tried to be a very good friend with you. The day I came to know how alone you were, I tried to give all sorts of company to you. I always thought that you needed a friend and I tried to fill that blank. I didn't knew that you were thinking about having romance with me from all these days. I never knew that you will show the same dirtiness which I get to see in every boy now-a-days. You are no different. And, let me tell you that you have broke me so badly that I'll never trust a boy again. This is the last time I am talking to anyone. And never try to call me again." She cut the call.

I sensed a lump in her throat while speaking all this. She was really shocked and she didn't wanted me to do this to her. I tried to call her back but she never picked it up again. After 2 days, she changed her number. I never tried to go to her house because I didn't want any problem to touch her. I never knew that my void life will experience a girl as the best friend. I didn't even knew that the same girl will be the one I'll start loving.

On this day, I remembered no one except her. I lost my best friend that day and from then I am back to the same life. No friends. Lonely life, Crying Eyes, Failed Academic career, And I'm attempting my CA-final for the 3nd time this year. I hope she will come back once again to give a push to my life. I miss you, Shilpa.

P.S.: It has nothing to do with me or anyone, any resemblance with any person dead or alive is purely co-incidence.

I don't wanna say I miss you.

For Anjul Sir..

I don't wanna say I miss you.
Cos, If I say I miss you- may be that comes true, I don't want that to happen.

I always remember all your words of encouragement to me.
I always remember how you letting me know my scope of improvements.
I always remember how you taught me to be a good professional rather than a good ******.
And above all,

I always remember your scoldings and GALI’S, which you kept on showering me all these days.
Off-course for my betterment….JJ

I don't wanna say I miss you.
Cos, If I say I miss you- may be that comes true, I don't want that to happen.
I always remember the days of Puri with you.
I also remember your cookies while watching movies at your room.
I also remember all your sharings & discussions at office & on the way’s.
Your lesions on how to ‘live life & lead life’..
Your captainship, which lets our team, got the runners at Haldia..

I don't wanna say I miss you.
Cos we still have lot of things pending….
You have to come for all my celebrations and I in yours (if u call me :)
The long drives, photography’s, guitar’s, lot of funs, dinners n lunches together (bills on you :)
I don't wanna say I miss you.
Cos, If I say I miss you- may be that comes true, I don't want that to happen.

Love n Respect

Go Goa Gone (18th to 23rd Aug'2013)

Finally.. literary finally GOA plan is successful.. one thing i observed that when you strive for something you get it.. Last year there was work pressure and we dropped the plan at end time.. This time also situation was the same but we decided to go and we went..

It was a very good plan by CP... We visited most of the places.. from south Goa to North Goa.. Dona Paula Beach, Mira-mar Beach, Baga, Calangute, Anjuna, Vagator Beach, Aguada Fort and St. Cathedral Church.. Awesome trip.

We started on 19^th night.. As per plan we catch HWH - Vascodigama Express... It's really very good Rail trip.. at around 06:00 PM, we reached our Hotel "Charlston Beach Resort" on Calangute Beach.. Our hotel, as it turned out, was a pleasant surprise. It was just a 5-minute walk from the beach. Well-maintained and also had a nice pool.. After Checking-in We had our evening refreshment and then we headed towards exploring the Calangute area itself, late night we were back our hotel, as all were tired after such a long train journey.

Day2 We started our day with an humorous relaxation in our Hotel's swimming pool followed by a heavy breakfast. Finally We were 4 people and 3 bikes, all set to explore this foreign land. 

We left for Mira-mar Beach.. our 30 mins. Ride becomes an hour when we actually reach Miramar..

Then we headed towards Dona Paula Beach.. at the place where two of Goa's famous rivers meet the Arabian Sea. This place is called the Lovers Paradise due to a myth that has been attached to this place. 

While coming back to Calangute, where we spend 2 hrs for shopping goa's famous 'feni' & bargaining with cashew seller was very complicated..  hahahaha and we had cheapest but awesome diner of the trip :)...followed by deep discussion on our personal lives on Calangute beach shore..

Day2 Our Second day destination was Historical Churches & along with the markets of Panji city.

We were so tired after such a long drive. We slept and woke up late in the evening after 8 pm. It was, then in late evening, we decided to explore our beach. We passed empty sunbeds while walking to beach. It was in complete darkness when I first laid eyes on a Goan beach. I was surprised to find that though beach shacks were crowded with people drinking and dancing on the music, there was actually no one at the waterfront! No one on a beach at Goa, just us!

Day3  We decided to walk along with our Calangute Beach, and latter while walking to beach we reached Baga Beach.

There were high tides in the beach. Water made a huge gushing sound. Every few minutes the waterline would recede only to get back water with full force like a mini, sweet tsunami. My companions were very excited and running through water. But I was scared and would cowardly urge them to move back to beach-shacks! I could be heard shouting, “Don’t go deep, water might take you away, no one will even know, we are gone!” ha ha this in Goa! Of course, no one paid heed to me.

Then we went to Anjuna beach ... mostly made up of rocks..
and then to Vagator beach huge and mostly empty calm beach.

Day4 The Last day we said bye to Goa & started our journey back to work..

This is an unforgettable and successful trip in my life. We had so much fun in knowing each other whereas I came to know more about my friends and colleagues. Beaches, tattoo parlors, Resorts, windy and chill Climate are still in my eyes. Thanks to my friends, people in Goa and colleagues for making this memorable moments.

Happy Valentine Day..!!

So finally Valentine's day is here. None of us know the origin of this day but we have got a good excuse to get our girlfriend laid on the bed. Every Indian talks about the culture but the days like Valentine's Day are kept under a quota where no one will bring culture into the scene. The day is officially meant for ---king and kissing. Girlfriends know that the boyfriends have called them and what is going to happen next. But then, do they stop? No. Because its Valentine's day and the day is meant to --ck and get --cked. The people in my Social Networking environment named the day differently. Some called it a Hawas day while some called it Tharki Day while some called it I-Pill day. I would just call it the day when boys use their girlfriend as nicely as they can and they feel that they got all the money refunded which they spent on them for the whole year.

There used to be a time when boys were known to use a girl's body on the name of love and then leave them. Today, it is different. It is a Give-and-take deal. But this rule is unsaid. If you'll discuss this, you are hurting a girl's sentiments. A boy will keep spending everything on girl. He will pay for her movie tickets, burgers, Water Kingdom entry fees, Puri or Goa's traveling charge, sandals, birthday cakes, hotel bills, mobile recharges and almost every basic expenditure. In return, girl will let him kiss herself, play with her hairs, uncloth herself and in the end, --ck herself. This is an unsaid agreement between Boyfriends and Girlfriends today. I am just shocked to see that I have no female friends of mine who are less than 27 and are not yet committed to someone.

If you still doubt that Valentine day is not meant for sex, go to a medical shop and ask him the amount of condoms supplied to him by the distributor and the amount of demand boys have for the condoms in the first 15 days of February. Your will really shock, and if Valentine's Day has nothing related to Sex, why is Children's Day scheduled on 14th November, exactly 9 months after Valentine's-Day????

It's Valentine's day. Good for the people who are committed and have a partner to celebrate it. But the one who have been single throughout the life will feel themselves more stupid on this day. And the one like me who are being fooled by a girl in past will keep haunting in the memories and may feel depressed at times. So, for committed people, its --CKING DAY, for yet-to-be-committed-people, its EXPECTATION DAY, for the people who have broken off, for them it is MEMORY DAY. The same day plays different part for different people. I just don't understand why do people celebrate such days when they know that they are doing the same thing every day. Some may propose their favorite person and ask them to be their valentine, for these people, I have respect as they have guts…, but others those are committed from years, talk everyday on cellphones, meet every week and --ck every month, why do they celebrate this day and make others feel unwanted in this world? I seriously feel like supporting Shivsena on such days. I do like the dandas of Shivsena entering their ass in front of public….

Fine. A Very Happy Valentine's Day, Expectation Day and Memory Day to all the people falling in different categories. The one who falls in Valentine's Day group can also be wished Hawas Day as they are going to end all the Hawas they have in them and experience pre-marital sex. A very Happy Profit Day to all the pharmaceutics and hotels. A very Depressing Day to all the parents of this world whose children are going to do what they did for giving them birth. And, I don't know whether all of you have heard it or not but Asaram Bapu has asked to celebrate Parents Worshiping Day today by worshiping our parents. So, the followers of Asaram Bapu, Happy Mata-Pita Poojan day to you, and the people who is very smart and married on this day, Happy Suhagraat to you…., and finally, the people who are reading this post, a Happy Nonsense Day to you all….

Extremely sorry if it hurts you.. Jinke zindagi mein pyaar na ho wo kya jaaney ki Valentine's pe kya likhtey hain….

Thanks.

A Visit to Puri (29-01-13)

A visit to Puri - City of Jagannath

This was my third visit to the Puri. First was when I was a kid, not much in memories, It must have been a week-long trip (from what I have been told and from what I remember). Second, a few years back with my mom during Rath-Yatra, when one of my cousin posted at PURI (ECR), the Best visit with lot of fun on and with the jovial humongous inviting waves of the Puri beach. But this time it was an unplanned short visit to the city with some of my new-n-special-friends and Surprisingly, I had a completely different experience this time around.

Why Puri..?

In this new-year, we decided to go on a audacious-trip, and destination Puri was selected (since PURI was within the close proximity of 500 Kms from Kolkata, where one can have all the fun, learning & holism under one roof) trip was chalked out for couple of days, dates were finalized & bookings were made accordingly….

Sunrise at Puri Beach..

After reaching PURI, firstly we were suppose to check-in our HOTEL and we have also headed for the same but can’t resist to have a glance of ‘Sunrise at Beach’ and we ran to witness the same just behind. (off-course it was our Hotel’s private beach) Enormity and power of the sea, can only be felt at a Bay of Bengal beach, Arabian Sea has got a different flavor. I’ve been to beaches around Mumbai, and have heard of Ganapatiphule, Goa etc; but none is close to what’s offered at Puri. White long beach with multi storey high waves, what else you can wish for!!

 

Call by Lord Jagannath..

As decided, next was to visit the Holy Jagannath-Temple. We returned from beach, checked-in our Hotel room and started getting fresh.. (Advice: always take 1-2 hrs in your hand if you are with girls)

Jagannath Temple – A far view It’s advisable to strike a deal with some Panda (or Purohit) before you enter the Temple. Pandas are the persons who guide the devotees through the Temple and associated obligations. However we have ‘Deepika’ with us (being a Oriya she was a bit acquainted with this place). Non-Hindus are strictly prohibited inside the temple, when we were passing through the Singhadwar (Main-Gate), there was a Panda who was striking everybody with stick of Jagannath, amicably hit my back and said, ‘Bhagwan ki Chaddi’.

It’s my personal experience that you must keep at least a dozen of Rs 10 notes. They come handy, when some Panda pulls you towards the small temple under his authority, does his puja forcefully and asks for dakshina. Around the main temple, there are some hundreds of smaller temples and also a wish tree. Since we were waiting for the main gate to open, we visited a few of them, and took some rest sitting at one of the temple, however I found Shilpi & Gouri busy with looking over the archeology of the temple (one must admire their stamina)….

Again we have headed for Garbha-griha, to have the darsan of Lord Jagganath, finally I got the opportunity.. I really wonder how Shilpi, Deepika & Gouri were with me in that massive-crowd…. Then we came-out and had our lunch..

Bay-Watch..

The main beach of Puri! You’ll fall in love with it. Though it’s almost always full of people, it’s so long that you’ll easily find a small place exclusively for you and your friends.

I recalled each minutes of Beach, how we enjoyed bathing, toppling, somersaulting and above all photographing together. We shed our clothes and had a crazy run in to the waters.., Even Shilpi went to wet his feet in the waves crashing on the shore.. (Off-course she was not allowed to do so)..

At the beach there were local people selling “pearls” and “stones” collected from sea at prices of Rs 5-25!! There were camels for giving ride and chairs were available on rent at the rate of Rs 20 per hour to sit and enjoy. We “rented” chairs as the beach was quite dirty.

Two-Hours with divinity, we left the place for journey back to our Hotel.. While returning we kept walking on the waves and tiny seashells….

 

It’s Shopping Time..

Deepika, Gouri & Ajeet went for some last minute shopping but I prefer to stay with Shilpi..

Let’s call it a ‘HOLY-DAY’..

It would have probably the boring evening, without the call of Gouri to turn’s our room into the ‘Dance-Floor’. Thanks to the DJ’s performing at the rear-Lawn.

After that we started pack up to continue our journey..

In route, we stopped for PHUCHKA (as we have two phuchka-lovers with us) followed by Dinner at Station..

As the train sped towards my destination, I don’t know why I wanted the ‘time’ or ‘train’, to go slow….

Next day we reached our home with the memories of a wonderful trip..!!

Best wishes,

Amaresh Gupta
