hiii guys its been a real long time since i write anything, actually was quite busy and didnt gett time to write.

the weather in dubai is getting real hot and for the first time i did buy sunglasses . must say looking good on me and does job of protecting my eyes. here in dubai its june time where people going to vacations which has kept some business on a hold.

its been otherwise not so bad a month , news of death of michael jackson was a real sad news on a friday morning, felt real bad abt it.

i guess when english music started in india or rather when i first started listening english music the only 2 singers i knew were michael jackson and madonna.

anyways he was a gr8 singer an amazing dancer and his song videos were kinda out of da world i have heard they were costlier than an entire hindi movie.

his moon walk steps n videos of thriller black or white were like out of da world. but his life in a way was tragic always living under the media pressure its like too much for some people, i guess the chidl abuse case took a toll on his life. he was never the same person again.

lots of stuff is written abt his lifestyle and his sexual status but actually we shud never be concerned abt that . for me he was a gr8 singer provided gr8 music and did a lot of charity work

any ways may god rest his soul in peace

i have to cut this short just got a call from a client so will have to send a proposal to him asap

cheers

yesterday 29 may 2009 marked my 4 years in this city of dubai. i never thought i wud stay here for more tan 3 months. i came here just to work for 3 months on company project get some more money and go back to india

but fact is i ve completed 4 years and i must say time flies real fast. yesterday i was all getting nostalgic and remembering the day 29 may 2005. i was pretty nervous tat day flying to a place i had no idea abt no idea abt which company i m joining it was kinda scary but somehow i m managed to pull thru.

it was evening flight air arabia around 7 pm i had my office colleagues to drop me as well as my parents. i was quite nervous infact had hanuman chaleesa with me to give me strength in da flight and the flight was quite a journey u dont get anything to eat in air arabia u have to buy it so it was without any food on flight tat i reached sharjah

once i reached sharjah i was just following the crowd where ever they were going i was behind them. got tat retina test some how managed to locate my luggage as i was getting down the escaltors i was hoping someone wud come to pick me up i saw 2 guys with my name on placard

got a relief seeing them one was taj and the other satish both of them still gr8 friend with me. its 4 years and i must say its been colorful 4 years of my life no regrets learnt a lot abt life and living alone being responsible.

i have to go now have to rush no lunch today fasting so moving now half day and also my dear friend Ashok whose in US just became a dad so thats a real good news. We have not been in touch lately but he is gr8 guy

The last 3 thursdays and saturdays have been the most creatively satisfying days for me.

dont know wats it abt thursday n saturday but my best works are getting achieved. reason i think is i dont get any phone calls on these days and my mind works real well. one thing i ve oberved abt myself is if i m under pressure to do some task i generally achieve it i dont know how but i generally achieve it.

I m chacha chaudhary my mind works faster under presssure. Mostly it is due to blessing of my parents and god.

yesterday a friday we had good plan, My roomate anil is a very good cook and so we decided to cook mutton and when i say WEits only Anil who cooks i just eat but this time i observed how he cooked and have promised him a meal soon. So anil cooked real tasty mutton and jeera rice. to make it eventful borrowed a peg of Bacardi from Sunil another roomie so it was like icing on cake.

generally i dont sleep on friday afternoons but tat bacardi made sure tat i slept for a couple of hours. in evening went to gym to burn out the alcohol, this time i ve decided i shall atleast get 2 pack abs and i m doing pull ups generally, i had promised myself i ll achieve this 2 goals, pullups are happening i guess abs gonna take time.

Evening met nilesh my old roomie from abu dhabi he came to dubai with his family for temple, one of my genuine good friend who can be trusted and talked with.

When you got temple u see so many people coming there, sometimes i feel people who dont beleive in god shud have a real good reason for beleive that god is not existing, i dont know but sometimes when my software doesnt work and i pray to sai baba trust me guys the software works at most time or i get a hint of problem how it can be solved.

Infact American medical association did a test where they had some cancer patients they asked families of half of the patients to pray for them religiously and the other not to do anything for a month. the results were extraordinary the patients whose family were praying were observed to be responding really well to medicines n stuff n were in much better conditions. so there is a force which exists you can call it god ,allah,bhagwan give it as many forms but u cant deny tat force.

so from tomorrow back to client folllow and payments lot of pressure to collect balance payment and new business, but i m sure my sai baba will guide me and make sure i achieve my targets.

Add a pic of me in my first white shirt wanted a white shirt for a long time. Saala mein to sahab ban gaya

Today is 29th April my parents wedding anniversary. I could say the reason for my existence. if my parents would not have got married i surely would not be writing this blog for sure.

this is the 4th year in a row i have missed the anniversary  its kinda sad but i did call them at midnight yesterday and woke them from sleep. My mom has brought us a culture in which we always celebrate bdays anniversaries. I think thats real cool. even now i have albums of my bdays and its gr8 to see those pics and go back in time.

I have observed my parents quite closely and their relationship is quite funny. I mean their love and care for each other is quite evident to us but they do have their share of arguments. 

I can recall  an incident  10-12 years back or more my parents had some argument and we came to know they were not in talking terms. Every communication to each other was done through me and my brother.

if my mom wanted my dad to come to dinner she use to tell me to tell my dad to come for dinner. so this was happening and i thought tat this would be over soon. at that time my dad used to take my mom to station for her office and get her back as well. so we were observing this but this time the no of days it had gone was more so i was wondering whats happened.

Fortunately for us a close relative came to our place and as soon as he came to our place we could see tat my parents were talking with each other as if nothing had happend. It was quite funny, After the relative went i said to them wow i mean guys u r talking now and all these days it was cold war. They also had a laugh abt it. It was quite funny.

One thing i must say is their care for each other. My mothers care for my dad is evident. I think after his heart attack my mom has been like a constant support to him, My dad on other hand would try always to help my mom in every way possible , telling us not to trouble ur mom. give her support.

I m glad to have one of most lovely parents and they have given us a lovely childhood never made us feel that we were less to anyone in any respect.  my relationship with my parents is quite like a friend, I can talk with them abt anything n everything. i guess i m more closer to my mom though. they have stood like a rock to me in my bad times and given me constant support encouraging me not to lose hope.

I wish them a gr8 day today hope they have good time today, my bro hopefully will take care of the day. i shall call them again later in day.

God Bless my parents.

My very good friend Vishal just got engaged yesterday. We all knew it was coming soon and I must say if you ask most people whose the nicest guys from our building you will get unanimous answer -thats Vishal. He is a real sweet and nicest guys of our building and surely the tallest of us. He just needs to work on his timings.He works on VST(Vishal Standard Time which is 5mins= 5 *3=15 mins VST). I m sure everyone will agree with me on this

Just spoke with him a day before his engagement he was kinda relaxed. Spoke with him after the engagement he was kinda worried whether the guests had a gr8 time at the engagement.

I just told him dude if you had a good time thats important whether people liked it or not that should not bother you cos Kuch to Log Kahenge Logo ka Kaam hain kehena.

Just do to the best of your abilities and leave rest to god. There are people who I call the fault finders and trust me there is a big community of such people who love finding faults. even if you give them the most beautiful woman to marry they will still find faults with her. Such kinda people tend to give negative energy and surely you dont wanna such people around.

Ofcourse we need critics who tell us the way things are meant to be done and give us a unbiased opinion  but these fault finders beware of them.

So mate vishal forget abt these fault finders. I am hoping you send me engagement pics. One more of my friend Ganesh is getting married on May 10 .

Love marriages is the flavor of the season. I am hoping i get married either love or arrange but there shud be a marriage in the near future.

Last 2 days kinda busy meeting clients n presentations. Bcos of this recession market seems to be a bit on slower side and major issues we are encountering is pricing. Negotiating prices is one hell of a job and you need to be smart . You learn it as you deal with a variety of people. Thinking of change in plan planning to do cold calling ie directly going to clients places and trying to meet the right people and give a presentation. I personally think this method is more effective cos you know the reaction the client is giving and the client also is confident abt the person he is dealing with. I have never done it but there is always a first time and so wish me good luck.

 With tele calling its kinda difficult cos you dont know whether the person at other end is really interested or just having fun.

I need to go now my driver taj telling me amit its 6:30 already. lets go so bi for now

Shabakher,

Life is really strange and so unpredictable. Even in my wildest dreams I had never thought of coming to Dubai. At the most i always wanted to visit the sharjah cricket stadium to watch India play Pakistan.

After my engineering I was trying to go to US for my MS. I had submitted all papers for admissions to colleges in US. Some of my friends were applying at different colleges I told them to apply at my colleges so tat we could be together.

Ironically my friends got admission in those colleges and I got left out inspite of having similar scores.At that time i felt so gutted and bad and felt god was being so unjust to me.

It took some months for me to come out of that frustration and unfortunately at the time the job scene in India was pretty bad so was difficult to get a chance to work in MNC. Somehow managed to get a job as a trainee engineer in one small company or rather a 1 man company.

I worked almost without salary for 3 months and then he gave me travel allowance of 500 rupees for a month. I was getting good experience of working with micro controllers but then coming home with just 500 was such a sad feeling. I must cried have a lot of times during those days hoping that things will change. Changed my company got salary of 3000 felt good, Atleast now i was contributing something to my family it was tough place where i was working. It was a gala in industrial area i mean i had rats below my place. During those sad times i met 2 good friends Sanjay and Chandrashekhar. These 2 guys were married had young kids earning less than me but were still happy with their life. I learnt a important lesson there and started looking life in a different way. Money i knew was important but should not be the motive of ur life and it doesnt guarantee happiness.

Again shifted from that company and went to a good company Zeos Infotech where the project was of HOME Automation(Smart Homes) it was basically controlling ur house thru ur PC. Met 2 good friends there Ashwin n Kavita who are now husband n wife. Their love story is one hell of a filmy story.I learnt a lot from Ashwin gained quite knowledge and then he left the company and i was sole in charge of project which was quite a pressure job but somehow managed.

Salary was not gr8 here and felt tat this line of projects wont land me in MNCs. So again shifted to company in powai. Salary not gr8 but the work was kinda different. Worked there for 5 months made gr8 friends like ajit,wasim,jaggu and manju.

At tat period in life i was content with my life earning a average salary I thought to myself that if

it is as good as it gets i better be happy and enjoy. But i knew that i was not contributing to my family and it always hurt me. i was seeing their frustrations they thought i was talented which i actually am not at all. Those were tough times and at that time my boss just tells us anyone wants to go to dubai for a project. It was a casual announcement so no one took it seriously

i told madam that if i gonna get more payment then i wont mind it. I actually wanted to run away from mumbai and thought tat i cud earn a bit more and in that way make my parents happy. there was no other thought other tan thinking of dubai.

After 15 days i come to work boss tells me to get my passport from home and i get it back and within 3 days i have my ticket to dubai. I had no idea where i was going what was the project nuthing. I just wanted to run away at tat time from mumbai n hoping for a bit of more money.

In my visa it was painters company visa a visit visa the flight to dubai was nerve wrecking chanting hanuman chalisa all time during flight. Landed at sharjah at around midnight no idea wat was going to happen was just following the crowd at airport did the eye test and found 2 people standing outside with my name on same placard totally filmy. those 2 people are my real good friends Satish and my driver Taj.

called home from car at midnight tat reached safely. thought i wud be here for 3 months now almost 4 years MAY29 2005 is the day i landed in dubai.

can never forget that changed my life forever i m hoping it made me a better person.

thats life unpredicatable now my friends are in US i still chat with them and now there is not a single regret tat i didnt go to US perhaps dubai was best thing tat happened to me

6th April is such a important day in my life it really changed my life around completely. I can never ever forget this day. It was on this day some years back my dad had an  massive heart attack.

I clearly remember it was a Saturday. My dad just came from outside in da afternoon. He was doing good with no health issues. He is in our bedroom he comes outside and says that he is feeling something in his back. I thought that some gas problem so i start patting his back and all of sudden he became blank.

I m kinda shocked. My  mom takes my dad in her arms and tells me to get a rick. I just ran outside house to get a rick i didnt even realise i didnt have my shirt on i get the rick and as i reach the house i have a fall on my door step i have blood coming from my head. I see my dad gained consciousnes and there is complete stranger in my house whose helping him.

My dad didnt realise at that time wat had happened to him and he is looking at me and say amit u got blood on ur head and my mom is telling him to come to hospital, He is saying he is completely Ok he didnt realise what he had gone through. we forcibly took him to irla nursing home and he was in the ICU.

Later i came to realise that this man was a driver at some person house onhearing my moms shout he came to my house and held my dads face and forced him to speak "HARI OM " bol saheb kinda .

You bet god is there he comes in different forms he took my dad to hospital in his car. I only met the guy once later. We can never forget wat he did for us.

My mom was all night in da hospital she told us to go home and take care of the house. She is just an unbeleivable person she has amazing spirit not even once did she gave an impression that she is in pain she made us feel strong during this tough time.

Next day my dad was able to speak i think he was kinda out of danger and he tells me to get mom a rose cos its her bday. Can you believe after going thru a massive attack he is thinking abt my moms bday.

Life can be so unpredictable you really dont know what can happen to you. It changed my perspective abt life and made me realise how little time is there.

So make the most of your time, keep ur parents happy love them take care of them. As i write this it makes me a bit emotional.

Friends our parents are the most important people in our life. Take care of them love them respect them give them happiness.

For me my motive in life right now is to make my parents happy. I really dont have any other goals in life. I want them to be proud of me.

Happy Bday mom enjoy ur day at Nagpur and plzzzzzzzz cut a cake without fail

.

Today got up quite early around 6 am which is kinda strange. But Actually after my vacation i m actually getting up quite early around 7 am which is quite good earlier i used to get up at 8 and 8:15.

Turned on the TV to check the scores and it was good to see india do good. Gautam Gambhir has evolved into a fine player. I m sure we gonna make history by clinching this series.

One meeting got cancelled one is still unsure. One client coming to us which is good. I never knew i was good in marketing but i m surely improving on it.

Dubai has exposed my other side i never thought i wud be able to talk with people give presentations i was quite a shy guy.

I guess u learn to swim once you are thrown in the water.

Friday was good went to Atlantis hotel with Sathish a.k.a KK Lamabasiya.He got his license a couple of months and boy he had to wait for his license for more than a year. I m glad he got the license and took a car rather tan just keep a license.

He is good on the road i guess still learning and also has got one fine so he is doing pretty ok.

Atlantis is just unbelievable it shows what technology and creativity of a human mind can bring impossible stuff to life. Its almost in the sea and is majestic with the aquarium and dolphin park and other stuff.

One day hope to get inside the dolphin park its kinda costly 300 AED i m sure its worth every penny of it. plannning to go with some friends for one day to Atlantis.

Also had Cold stone ice cream i never saw any one make ice cream it was amazing these guys throw ice cream up and do all this juggling.

And to top it all the ice cream is mind blowing. Any one shud try Cold stone.

I have to get back to work i ll upload some pics of atlantis later

Yesterday after coming from work saw the movie Amanush. I just saw the last ending of it.

One of my fav movies set in rural India abt love trust and beautiful songs.

Sharmila tagore looked as beautiful then as she does even now and the bengali superstar Uttam Kumar with a gr8 performance.

Food was fish fry and rice.

In the night was unable to get sleep. If anything bothers me i always follow this principle. just try to face the issue upfront and resolve it.

Yesterday got a call from my  mom.

its so strange when u feel a bit upset or u not feeling well i dont know wat it is but i have observed that on most occations my mom gives me a call on that day.

its strange i guess all mums have that sixth sense abt their children

it feels so good to hear the voice of ur mom it relieves all the bad thoughts ,negative feelings from my mind.

Mother is the greatest creation of god there can be no 2 opinions on it.

for me my mom has been my biggest support one person i can share anything and everything.

I wish i cud do some much to make her happy.

right now one thing which shall make her happy is getting me married.

She is all time thinking abt girls for me .

in india had gr8 time seeing girls

i guess i saw around 6 girls.

the first meeting was kinda nervous affair for me. Asking questions to a girl is so funny.

My first question to most girls was what is ur name? and the funnier part was the girls use to say their complete name along with dads name and surname.

It was as if i was taking their interview.had lots of kanda pohas which was good cos i hardly had any kanda pohas  in dubai.

I thought that i wud be rejected by most girls but fortunately i got good response from girls.

But meeting girls the second time was a problem due to shortage of time.

Anyways its written in destiny i hope i find my destiny.

for me marriage i wud want my partner to be a friend first with someone i can share everything without any fear of wat she might think. she shud be a mix of modern as well as traditional values. someone who is social.

i hope she has atleast love for music.

Most important she shud be a good human being.

Tomorrow going to Abu Dhabi for  a meeting. and closing a deal.

still raining in dubai and the wipers of my car not working . I dont know how we gonna reach Abu dhabi. Hopefully rain gods will stay away tomorrow

Cheers

The rains are yet to stop in dubai its sucha  lovely weather loving every moment of it. Actually got wet in the rain as well. Yesterday a kinda not so good thing happened . Taj dropped me home and on his way he had a car accident. Fortunately no one got seriously injured and unfortunately the car got pretty damaged and the the more unfortunate thing was that was our Boss car and not the company car.

Two ways to look at this incident you could say what a stupid driver and why does he drive so fast.

The other way and the right way to look is good thank god only the car is damaged and no one is injured. It could have been worse. The best way to look at any problem/calamity is look at the brighter side or the positive side.

ofcourse taj has to be more careful, more attentive while driving but what he does need to do is move ahead and not ponder abt this incident all this time.

Yesterday at home was listening to music. It makes me feel so good. I sometimes feel like dancing and sometimes i just go in to a mood which is more philosophical.

Songs you gus shud surely listen is Afterglow,Here I am by 3 doors down,Numb,Love remains the same as well as some Hindi songs like Ma da laadla,Genda Phool.

My personal fav right now is from Welcome to Sajanpur Ek Meetha Marz.

I really envy the guys who write such beautiful poetry these guys must be just amazing romantics at heart to come up with such thoughts.

Earth day was also there and people were switching lights off for 1 hour all over the world in around 88 countries.

I hope people take this seriously and not as one day act and really think abt wasting electricity.

Its for our future and our future generation.

Thats too preachy i guess and i m not preachy at all.

I just get a call from a client a chance to close a new deal

so wish me good luck and get back to work

Cheers Mate

March 23 2009

This is the first time i am blogging so enjoy wat i write cos it comes from my heart

After a long week in dubai i had a meeting planned at fujairah 2 hours from dubai 124 km.

One of the most beautiful places in UAE with high mountains surrounded by the ocean. No tall buildings not many people no wide roads just a beautiful place reminding how serene life can be.

We had beautiful music playing in the car unfortunately there was a death in the royal family so radio was put off the air for that day.

But my new mobile made it up for the lack of radio with good songs.

my colleague noel with his new phone was busy taking pics while my driver Taj who is more of a friend were enjoying the hindi songs.

Suddenly when we were near Fujairah it started raining. It was such a beautiful sight seeing dark clouds and heavy rain. I have missed the Mumbai rains for last 3 years

I will post those pics. After the meeting we headed to Dibba which is 50 km far.

On the way it rained so heavily that water was almost covering our car tyres. Somehow due to skills of taj we managed to move ahead. At khorkhafan we halted to take beautiful picture of the sea and dark clouds.

As we moved ahead we realised there was a road block ahead and we cud not go ahead to dibba.

fortunately I was able to resolve the client problem on phone.

On the way back to dubai rains had already stopped. My friend Nilesh calls me from Abu dhabi he just shifted there. He is advicing me how to handle the girl i m gonna meet and giving me tips like giving the girl a rose in the second meeting which i find it rather weird and too filmy.

As we reach Dubai its end of a  long journey a good client presentation and good weather.
