I am never going to forget 26th April,2008, time 18:50hrs.
After having a fun saturday,working for only few hours,then going out for drink with friends and colleagues and watching a movie(not gonna comment on the movie...coz it was real torture.....a pathetic movie with too long dialogues, infact irrelevant ones,unnecessary and completely maddening. How can Ajay Devgan write a story and how can they make such a terrible film, neva mind,still we Indians enjoy every kinda movies....WE ARE JUST FREAKS,AND WE CAN DO ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING,SPECIALLY THE IMPOSSIBLES... :)
See i ve commented,that me...infact its about everyone.....we appraise, always critize but neva appreciate....its Indian nature,atleast that is what I feel.....)
There is a very good joke on Indians....."Americans hate others, and we hate each other".
Well I am not here to discuss about what we Indians are or what we are not...
But to share an interesting discussion I had. While going back home from the movie, my activa stopped on the way, was looking around for help...as in if something could be done....then a man came to me,and asked me if he can help......i dint wanted to get into any discussion so dint say much.....but he really helped...and asked me if i want to see his institute.....I don't know why, but I thought to go and chek it.
So i just went in, while moving ahead, heard someone teaching students about English Communication. And found two females sitting inside a room, may be they were waiting for the teacher to go, or atleast shall leave the class so that they can go, whateva it may be,its not my matter of concern,everyone does that.......so its ok.
They asked me certain questions n all, and asked me to wait. At 7:05pm rather 1905hrs the director(the man who helped me) called me...as in I went to meet him only.......
He asked me certain questions about me,as to what I want do ,and what am I doing currently,etc etc...
And took an assessment....that assessment included basic grammar and words, their pronounciation and little bit of vocabulary. And then he gave me a feedback and also throughout the assessment he corrected me whreva required, asked me to read more, watch english programs and BBC/CNBC n all......I was really not happy....may be not satisfied,that he understood thr only...then started our random but interesting discussion..
Discussion about what communication skill and english communication mean....about what they basically teach...what are all things I need to work on...etc etc etc......Actually in that discussion we not only discussed about communication skills,but aslo a lil about politics, variuos kind of students. Shared our thoughts about "Confidence" as a word and as a quality in people...also about different perception of people at various levels and various situations...the varience between people from differeny places, metros to cities........villages n all....
I was really amazed with person's vocabulary and the way we had our discussion...he is such a patient man.I am impressed,that why the first thing i am doing is, writing a lil about the whole thing...
Thats silly and shocking,but you know itz me........kuch nahi ho sakta mera.....
But yaa.....that meeting was worth.....he gave me his card....and was a lil impressed with my inquisitiveness..........my confidence.......hehehehhehehe.....
And he also said,that I can be a good Communication skills trainer,just need a lil polishing of my skills..........waise now i can think about it ;)
Anyways,a gr8 day yaa...........completely worth...atlst after such a deadening movie....

Have you ever wondered, how does it feel when you have to wait for something you have been working for long. Or may be, have you ever thought that if you start something,you will end up waiting for it, for long....that too something like one and half month.
Thats what we call a step to start a new entrepreneurial project.....You always be optimistic and sure,that everything will work out well, but then little later you start to realise that....thrz really a difference between what is said,and what is done.....Though people are lil skeptical about the idea,but we always tend to be calm, and patient, and confident too about the plan, the strategy ,basically about the whole concept.
So, initially when the idea(we are working on) came into existence, the team was completely involved in it....we were thinking of it,eating with it,sleeping with it,going out with it.....etc,etc, etc...Even our personal life was also got influenced with it,and we started to use the termnologies and whteva thing was possible.
And also everyone always end up spending hours in the office, searching for one BIG idea, reading hundreds of articles, checking out millions of website (I really pray to the god,that whateva we have read, should get used,wheneva possible).....
And then finally was the day,when we launched it.....It was a big day for all of us, worked for it,and really got good response. IT WAS AN ANOTHER STEP FOR PEOPLE, BUT AN IMPORTANT STEP FOR US, for a team of 5people. (Which is going to b a team of 4 people,coz our entertainer, chiller, lousy yet smart, connected guy has got selected for Malaysian MC and is leaving for malaysia on 14th.....)
Coming back to the track and to the point m sure,which is not a very difficult task,but the only problem is.....that..eehhhhhhhhh......i just need to think...
Anyways,an example of getting affected by the idea and the project we r working on is....that I tried my hands on Corel......and also, have become a blogger.....(people beware......you can't escape from reading my blogs...coz usually i force people to read it,cant help it yaa......i am a lil obssessed with myself......hehehehhehe.....whateva!!!!!!) and a little while ago,I came across one of my friend's blog.....initially the title was different but now it has been changed. We have started writing abt other websites(bitching,basically what i call it), in simple terms everyone is multitasked now......
Finally, we all are excited and damn sure...that whateva we are doing, we will be successful one day......that too very soon.....I know for sure,that it will be soon,coz i know that you our generation is lil impatient..it is a Gen Y with no commas and fulstops...
So, we have kept our fingers crossed, and now when we have our people in form,we are gonna work well and make it Dynamic project.

Finally, the day is about to come!!!!
In the new era of young entrepreneurs, we are not only growing technically but also the growth in terms of money and other infrastructural requirements. So as the need of Social Networking has risen. And for that, too the various facilities have been provided now a day, by many telecom industries and related industries. They not only charge minimal amount but also, they provide us with good services and access to 1000s of other things.
But when it comes to Social networking, has become a fad these days. We really need to be little safe, there are millions of social networking sites available, and every second teens are coming up with one or the other entrepreneurial project. And obviously it has become an easiest and the simplest mode of making big money.
These social networking websites not only provides us, an opportunity to be in touch with our friends, option of finding friend is always there(thanks to them, I have managed to find a friend of mine, who was with me, when I was in 5th Class...amazing...m surprised, she recognized me, at the one go. M sure she has a very sharp memory, and her mom has fed her with loads of memory tonic n all......ehhhh......who is bothered) my point is, that they work, and they r really working for almost everyone....people, m sure you agree with me.
And also because have become more and more conscious about their looks and also about their friends group. People who have got looks they flaunt it and others look for it. Because of the boom in the industry, the entire upcoming portals have options of rating, view profile, make friends, find friends, comments n all. So, we a group of people (average age of 23) have also come up with an idea of a funky rating portal, all you will do is to upload your picture and let others say. It provides you an easy going and a safe platform to rate people and act ostentatiously.
And also, you can go ahead and rate others, share the link; send comments (message board) and “Flaunt your Score”. We have been trying to make it safe, as our key point is its safety, none of the save options work, no print screen could be done, no obscene or inappropriate picture will be allowed. And it’s simple.
It gives us immense pleasure to announce the launch of our portal on 17th April, so enjoy your time at www.yomacha.com
Happy rating!!!!
PS: Any more suggestions and ideas are welcome, and appreciated.

Ideology
(Disclaimer:
The characters,events and the story picturised in my blog are true and real but are not intended to reflect the life of any individual or individuals. As these are the real incidences happened with me,would like to share my views on the same. As its resemblence to actual persons and real events is purely existent and genuine, I apologize for the scathe due to my conclusions.)
Simple Ideology......huhhhhhh....how can anyone's ideology be simple????? I just dont interpret or percieve things the way others do...and also no one can force me...
Thats my way....
And I ve simple example, to justify.......
Case One:
A guy wants to get some posters done, and the logo of his company too.... but he simply can't figure out how to relate it to its name...ve a different ideology,want to have togetherness, recreation with intellect....but not sure.....but thats not what others think....they ve percieved it in a different way, letz c wht conclusion do we cme up with.
Case Two:
A girl, an MBA, working for a good brand....earning decently good, and her parents want her to settle down. Even she thinks that her parents r right,but now here comes her ideology.
She want to pursue MBA again, from a Top B school,so tht she can earn handsome salary... And also,she don't belves in the concept of Love marriage,or affair....blah blah blah.... dont like intercast thing happening. In the simple and general terms she is confused, and her ideology too...
Case Three:
A guy had an arguement with his friends, for a reason that they can't decide anything in life...They are not disciplined...termed it as idiocy...And for that matter cme up with a conclusion that damn everyone is like that....Now his ideology is absolutely different and biased, it can be interpreted in so many different ways, and can be used against him as well...
And finally,
Incident Four:
While chatting, smeone asked me, How can i say that our generation(which i refered to Gen Y in my previous blog) is focused or determined? He thinks we are more spoilt and confused. Technically, the examples like, drunken nights in pubs and discos, exuberant sex life, driven by alcohol n cociane n stuff like that, interpret only one thing,that yes We are Spoilt,but not confused....Coz m sure,our generation knows wht we r doing,or whr we r heading too.....(may b i am an exception,coz i am really confused with things,but itz ok,coz the average of our population thinks the other way round).
I know its difficult to relate the incidents,but the only thing i ve understood from all the above is....if Ideology is Simple,but its simple for you,not for everyone.
And by any chance, if its simple, for everyone else,then its not ideology,itz a myth....for sure..
Its Irony...........................

Everything Will Be ok!!!!!!
After devoting long hours, figuring out strategies of SEO (search engine optimization) page rank, online marketing, viral marketing, adsense, adword, etc etc etc........now we are waiting for our portal,www.yomacha.com, to get launched. The one thing, we have been doing for long.....is waiting...I don't know much about the technical side....but it seems as if it has really became a incumbrance for the tech guys.....so they handled it,lil brutally...and now finally have handed ova to us...(trust me,m serious about it,thrz no flamboyance)
Now the whole thing will start agn,our own tech guy, ll be handling it...he ll be helping us,in adding certain things to it,etc etc etc...i shuldn't be discussing abt it,now coz itz still in the testing phase....so people,let it get launched....m sure we ll manage to make it,on the top of the list.
But, deep within I am thinking about it,in a different prospective...I or me.....from a commerce background, worked with genpact fr three years(international call centre)....thn joined patrika.....was supposed to work fr event mngemnt team,but ended up working wid branding and business development part of it.....now doing Online marketing and web promotion thing.......for a new company,a joint venture.(Aj,thats what I ve understood so far about my profile,if thrz anythin incorrect or superfluous....please excuse me)
Actually my only area of concern, is that what I am supposed to do.......I ve never been a marketing girl......never evn thought of it...for that matter.....i was just lucky,i got an opportunity to work wid patrika...
But m confused(believe me,itz not taradiddle)......when it comes to deciding about what i shuld do,or what i shuld be doing.....i really dn't know...whom to ask....
At times,i think,my dad's right,if i would ve done MBA,atlst i would ve got sme lakhs job,with big company name n all....but thr was smthin tht alwys stopped me frm going for it...i always wntd to do,smething of my own, I wantd to b an event manager,but dint go fr it....thn i joined genpact...but after 3yrs...i realised,tht it was nt my cup of tea...i know i realised it,lil late...but nw cn't help it...dn't wana regret abt it,coz atlst i ve learn't many things thr....atlst,one major thing is, Me....i changed alot,all the people who know me, that accept the fact....(but m still confused.....lolzzzzz.....)
Whateva it may be now.....the only thing is,whteva I am doing i wnt to gve my 100%,and also,dont want to circumscribe myself, want to do and know,as much is possible.....
M sure,my mentors are going to help me,in understanding not only personal matters but also business deals, for that matter overall business development........including branding,promotion, marketing(and also for training and develoment as well,how can forget about it).....and small small things like HR issues, inventory,paper work,etc etc etc.......
I hope everything goes well for me.......in the coming future........atleast I wish to achieve something in life(people dnt ask me what that something is.....hehehhehehehe..but m sure I ll....)
Itz just the time,who is playin wid me.....but,I know my day will come........and Everything will be Ok!!!!!!!!!!!!

Act of Progression: Generation "Y"
Generation Y is poised to make a huge impact on society in the future. It is quickly developing its own flair and character.
As the world is moving forward, so are we progressing. But don't know, why we Indians always end up working a li'l extra then others. That too our upcoming generation wants to achieve everything in a short span of time. And why short span of time? Coz we don't want to waste our lives in doing a little,always wanting to do more and DO BIG is our motto of life.
When it comes to achievement, we believe in "IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING"..
And we confide on "JUST DO IT".
The ginormous enthusiasm, our generation have is remarkable, and commendable.
But is that really we should do, or is this the way we should be?? I would like to make a few "serious" overall comments though. Every generation has a name: There was the Greatest Generation, Generation X, and so on. I think our upcoming generation, if they are not called Generation Facebook, will instead be known as the Generation That Could Not Use Commas. Everything goes on and on and on, without any comma or full stop.
The Act of Progression is taking us away from the reality, away from society. It has nothing to do with family culture or relationships. We just believe in success, at any cost. We even don't have time to gambol,or catch up with friends...and these latest technologies are providing us with an alternate source, that too, the cost we have to pay is minimal at the moment,but am sure we will end up paying our lives for it.
What ever it may be, we know what we want to do. We have made our goals clear. Generation Y, like other generations, is shaped by the events, leaders, developments and trends of its time, and reputation for being peer oriented and for seeking instant gratification.

Excogitation
As usual don't know how to start today's blog. Actually its already 12:03am now,so its yesterday's blog,not today's, but anyways, just wanted to write something....
Now again there is one more confusion as to,what shall I write about today......things we did in the offce...or the time we spent at Mr. Beans (a coffee cafe)...or what am I thinking or feeling today...
Better I should cover all the things,one by one....see I have got a chance to bore and irritate you people as much as I can....but please don't blame it,you yourself have chosen to read what I write or whateva I have written....hehehehehhehehe. And also don't come to beat me for this random stuff...coz my life has become random....usually there simply mood swing kinda things happens.....AND TODAY FOR A CHANGE I AM FEELING GOOD, HAPPY AND INNOVATIVE BUT LITTLE DESTRUCTIVE.......now again don't ask me..how can I feel so many things altogether....itz me yaa.......I can do anything and everything....and if you wana compete...toh aa jao maidaan main.....ho jaaye samanaa......lolzzzzz
Ok lets not get into quarrel things,and with the good note that the weather for last 2days has been rocking,and you know what itz still raining heavily, and it gives such an energetic feeling....may be everyone will think,that 'how anyone can feel energetic at 12:30am?',but itz me.....again,anything and everything is possible.....hehehehe
So.........we have been enjoying the weather,today toh we all went to Mr. Beans (thanks to Vandy,she took me thru a new way....pataa nahi kya tha....bas straight straight straight....lolzzz,and finally we reached there SAFE) and after reaching there my brain actually started to work(now again thats usual,because when I am out of my regular schedule thing,I really feel different) just felt like arguing with someone.....better i should mention that i was literally in a mood to fight with someone.....obviously not boxing kinda thing...but just words fight.....but dint do anything of that sort obviously,otherwise m sure beans' people would have kicked me out of the the place...neither I was interested in spoiling my so called "being simple" image.....and now m sure..people who know me...are deffinately going to comment on this statement....and I am ready for it.... :)
So,had 2 cafe lattes there.....discussed about all usual things,called Tina(actually her name is Padmasana Kothari,one of the directors of Rajasthan Patrika group, and also she is an Ex-AIESECer) and there were four more people...actually can't tell much about them,coz even I don't know....but one thing I know for sure, is that, they all are AIESECers....
the reason is that Ajit( my boss), Vandy and Jai have been associated with AIESEC, and I am the only one left out(but not completely,even I did joined it,but thanks to my people at home,they dint liked my idea of getting associated with anythin,any organisation at that time,so I left it in just one day)...eh..So after having random conversations(not all,coz we even discussed a bit about advertisement thing with Tina for our upcoming website,YOMACHA.COM),coffees and few phone calls, I left the place, and rushed towards home,where as usual my mom was waiting for me,to share her daily ke kisse........and as I was feeling like arguing with someone,finally ended contending with her.......even spoke to dad........AND ALSO TROUBLED AJIT,called him up and spoke to him for 25minutes........discussed about SEO, google algorithm, page ranks,etc,etc,etc.....
After that "an idea" clicked in my mind.....and I excogitated of making a presentation......naa naa....I am not going to tell you the idea,let me do it,let me finish my presentation,then i will share......
And finally at 12,I made up my mind to write my blog.....and c,thats what I have come up with..
and now......bbye for the day......... :)
Hey people....listen,did I tell you about my Chiya's new pic.......amazing......he is a dude....he is my inspiration,my life......he is my "would be" husband......Actually itz his picture, I have added with this blog.....see I am so obssessed......lolzz..
So now,finally.....m sighing off for the day......c yaa.......
