@Auto Expo 2012

The Auto Expo was an amazing affair! My first-ever visit and the experience was WOAH...Though i am not an 'automanic' but my love for brands such as Audi, Yamaha, Harley Davidson and Royal Enfield couldn't resist me from catching a glimpse of some mean machines and posh babies at the show.

A friend had arranged a pass for the V.I.P. and vroom we went to watch what the Auto Show has in store this year...(the Auto Expo is slated to be biggest in Asia & second largest in the World)

The Audi stand was immaculately done up and the luxe machines highlight included Audi Q7 quattro, the super-fast Audi R8 and what the show stopper was the all-new cherry red, most-awaited Q3 unveiled by Katrina Kaif (saw the gorgeous lady "WOW")

Luxury brands such as BMW also had put up a good show - the highlight was Mini Cooper. Skoda had put on display the new Yeti and the RS 2000

In the bike section - Yamaha had an exhilarating line-up with displaying including Jorge Lorenzo's MotoGP bike YZR M1, the new scooter - Miss India for women, limited edition model of the R15, YZF R15 version 2.0, FZ1, VMAX, FZ-S, Fazer, YZF - R1 50th anniversary special. And to rise the mercury, John Abraham was also present.

The Royal Enfield and Harley Davidson, too had put up a sizzling display of their bikes and Renault's DeZir was simply amazing!

Auto Expo is all set to be grand show and it was an AMAZZZZZZzzzzzzzzing experience to be a part of the show.

Coming Back to Life!

Long has been the time...I have been trying to 'Get a Life'...Friends ranting and close ones scared...


The year has been truly amazing....I have learnt so much...the best being...Enjoying with friends again...The fear of being alone is gone...(though not forever)...Rather, I have learnt to enjoy Being Single!


At times, I laugh at my ownself of running for nothing and aiming to reach ends that can never meet. Nonetheless, the year has been truly AMAZING!!!


Some highlights:


I have moved to a new working place (the work experience has been challenging)...Though it was way tough to adjust...but I am finding it good here.


Have made new friends - Some good, some very good and some EXTREMELY Interesting (Those living life on their own terms and giving a DAMN to what other say)


Have started going out and enjoying with friends - I am loving it...Been to Agra...and the Trip was incredibly amazing (beyond expectations)


Celebrated New Year with friends - It was amazing!!!


There's one more thing that I recently realized. Being through times that was the hardest in life...I am now good (if not expert) at advising 'friends' who say there's nothing in life for them (after heartbreak)...(nope I am No 'Agony Aunt' not a 'Guru', too)...and showing them a new way...that's there's so much in life until we realise


Overall, the year have been WONDERful, Fabulously AWesOme...and there's so nuch to Pen Down...Adios..will c u again :) 

And Yes to all all BloGobuddies - A Very Happy New Year :)

Planning a COMEBack :) :) :)

Drumrolls......


I am a planning a comeback....Making an all new Beginning

P.S. Needless to say...missed you all...Ann, A.K. Varun (specially)

P.P.S. - I know there's hell lotta waiting for me to read...will try to catch-up as soon as I can :).... See You around

Money Vs Career

Money Vs Career...the debate isn't new...but something that's faced by most of us...Specially for the one's in the service sector...This is a question that came to me from one of my friends who is in a dilemma and couldn't decide as to what the next step should be...So, I thought putting it as a FACEBOOK status and on my blog could earn me some valuable inputs my fella bloggers.

Story of My Friend:

The girl is one of my school friend and got into working into a corporate. She has a job that pays kinda Well (as per her) and my friend holds a position (a little above than Entry Level). But, sticking to same place for four years and doing the same kinda work (same stuff everyday...which even makes me wonder...why four years at same place?), she has finally decided to leave the JOB

After a lot of discussion (and convincing her) my friend has finally decided to switch to a new place. And after months (more than 8) of searching she has grabbed herself a job into another domain, where the money is a little less (dan what's she gets now) but the future prospects are bright (Personally I feel money will follow sooner or later)...

Talking to a lot of people (indirectly) as in war between 'Money' and 'Career', got me mixed responses...while a lot want to take the shortcut of making 'fast money' mantra...there are some others (like ME) who say who cares about career (and the path is too long)...Let's Focus on MONEY...

So, here the question for all of my BlOgO buddies as to: 'What would you choose between the two?'

Unexpected Rendezvous

It's been really long that I haven't been able to blog...Work and loads of work is all that's keeping me Occupied and there's a hell lot to do on Weekends too...Life is at it's slow, steady pace and don't know when will I win that Race...(I don't know which Race am I talking about.)

I am and the life in general is creeping through the slowest phase where nothing but TIME is running by...All my efforts to find a new job have been futile and I am attempting it the second time now...

Amidst all this I happened to meet one of my closest buddies Nishika who came to my Office for her Boyfriend's Interview...It's was Un-EXPECTED...

I had cut all the channels of communication...I am keeping myself aloof and she didn't had my number too..But as the Destiny had it...we had to meet...and to hell with WORK...Finally, I got a chance to leave aside work for a day and GTalk for a DAY...Somehow, I managed to escape my Manager's Eye and spend an ENTIRE Day day with her...It was indeed so much FUN...

After an exciting day I went home and guess what??? After long I had a chance to talk to that someone special...(the Guy I liked)

No matter how tough can life be at times, these small things make a difference and provide that much refreshing break...Nothing in life is expected but if the UnEXpected is like this...What more could you ask for?

Self Appraisal

It's time for Appraisals and promotions in the office and even I am expecting a hike...but this isn't a post about all that...To me appraisal means growing by learning new each day and personal job satisfaction that comes from working both hard and smart... 

Here's an inspiring story sent to me by one of my colleagues...Hope it peps up your Spirit as it does mine...Enjoy!

A little boy went to a telephone booth which was at the cash counter of a  store and dialed a number.
The store-owner observed and listened to the conversation:

Boy                : "Lady, Can you give me the job of cutting your lawn?

Woman         : (at the other end of the phone line) "I  already have someone to cut my lawn."

Boy                : "Lady, I will cut your lawn for half the price than the person who cuts your lawn now."

Woman         : I'm very satisfied with the person who is  presently cutting my lawn.

Boy                : (with more perseverance) "Lady, I'll even sweep the floor  and the stairs of your house for free.

Woman         : No, thank you. 

With a smile on his face, the little  boy replaced the receiver. The store-owner, who was listening to all this,  walked over to the boy.

Store Owner       : "Son... I like  your attitude; I like that positive spirit and would like to offer you a  job."

Boy                      : "No thanks,

Store Owner       :  But you were really pleading for one.

Boy                      : No Sir, I was just  checking my performance at the job I already have. I am the one who is  working for that lady I was talking to!" 

 

         This is called
        "Self  Appraisal"
