Amsterdam

Hapsi ka mu, hamesha khula hi rahta hai

I have a tendency of planning things well in advance. If I have complete information, I'll book everything before hand. Actually, I'll plan out every minor detail as soon as plan is set. Hence I had a friend booked who will drop me from my home to airport, but he dropped out at last day. I had to call out my gang who left their office and came. 

3 Musketeers of US

I am lucky that I always get a gang of 3 musketeers right from school to company. This time, they were crazier than ever. I had to catch the flight for India, but traditions are above all such things. We have a tradition of eating Pizza whenever we meet. 

Our Fix Order: I used to take advantage of the scheme and add
lots of toppings. #Baniya Buddhi

We were already late, still ordered Pizza and then started for port. Bhati and Mehte were thinking that I am tensed and must be cursing them but guys, I was not worried at all. I think that whatever happens is going to happen, why to worry about it before it happens. 

Khan Sab, You were not missed.

Somehow we managed to be on time. Mehte came inside the port to drop me off. Now I was on the way to India, finally. There was a Dutch lady sitting next to me which makes sense as my first flight was to Amsterdam. She was going to see her parents. She reallocated to States long back and was going to see her parents. She was working in a company which manufactures Memory/RAM. I asked her, "so you make memories?". 

Amsterdam, one of the most beautiful places in world. I can't go out of port, but sitting at port and thinking about what's waiting for me in Indore was an awesome feeling. It was enough to compensate for me not going to explore Amsterdam.

Home Sweet Home

Dedicated to people of my age...
Best of luck.

It has been more than 3 years that I have left my home sweet home. It has been more than a year that I have left India. May be it was right time to meet and greet everyone at home. Many things have happened in past year, some are good, others bad. May be it was right time to take all those in. Many things lined up for future. May be it was right time to understand those. All these feelings arouse when you are at a prime age. In case you are staying away, things grow at rapid rate. There are many things/situations that today's youth has to go through. Two of them are listed here.

Shadi (Marriage): That's the hottest topic, I ever heard in India. Especially relatives do their best in match fixing. Thanks to all of em. Everyone will have at least one contact with an eligible candidate.

Whereas youth have no idea, what's going on? They understand that it's high time, that thy should settle but they gets afraid with the Shadi word itself. They want to live their life before getting settled. Even if they are earning in lakhs, they are afraid of the current economy. They also think that marriage will bring additional responsibilities. Also they need candidates who is perfect in many criteria such as working/non working/business, location, community, even sub community, culture and more. It's like the person should satisfy all the parameters to be eligible. Note, they apply in Love marriages as well, just that criteria s are different there. Even then it takes a lot of time of time to finalize, as it's a matter of lifetime. 

Job: If you do not get job, its a problem. if you do get job, you want to switch. If you have already switched, you want to go towards Startup. If you are in startup, you want to go in Business. In spite of all these, there are those as well, who are still struggling with their exams. So basically you are in a confused state of mind, wherever you are. One thing is for sure, wherever you are you want to move ahead from it. You want some change in life. Change is inevitable. Also you are afraid of the change, which reduces your speed of moving towards it. Above factor also contributes in this change. As per my thought, all of us need change and should bring it once in a while. For example, if you are working somewhere you should take leave from it at least a month in a year. You should meet 1 new person at  least in a week.

Funny thing among all these is, we might think "OK, we are in a job. We should settle now and get married". But the real thing starts right after that. Our society wants more now. First they want us to get good marks, then good job, good girl and now they want a good kid.
If you listen to me, I would say...
Their is no stoppage in this life, it wants more out of you. Just try to keep yourself on track. Take the life as it comes. STOP once in a while, take a deep breath, see around yourself and then move ahead. Else life will go very fast and you won't get time to live it. Life is precious. Stop surviving, start living.
