Morning after Post! ;) :D



Hello all my lovely folks, reading my blog in the mid of your busy day.
This is Saturday morning in Mumbai, India and after just waking up, I have took my laptop and without even leaving the bed, the first thing I am starting my day with is a post!
The weather is super-cool here, rainy season is around. The big window by my bed is showing nice morning scene. Birds are chirping as the chill breeze passes by my hairs.
Yeas its kinda cheerful and beautiful morning.
I am getting in a poetic mood as well! ;)
A better time as well may be for couples romancing. :)
So in all it seems to be a great day, lets see!
There are many plans in my mind for the day, I have a class to catch in the evening and wanna watch Jism2 also today.
But for now all I am doing is enjoying the laziness and cozy feel of my dear fluffy pillow!
Hey wait I should not fell asleep again!
Well am already feeling dizzy a bit......or may be much lazier... hmm.. yaawwwwwn!
Hey I should finish the post but first..
Wait a min, where was I?
Umm... well....
I wanted to say like......*YAAAWWWN*.... like wat I was saying? o_0
But the day seems perfect...
and..
*&*%*@!$!#

Zzzzzzz.........

After a looong while I took the pen again! (Well not literally :P )

Thanks for being an avid reader of my blog. And apologies for keeping you all waiting, it's been a long while that i have written, created or shared any new or interesting post! Here I go to sum up in short what was happening in my life for the past months. :)

At last after a long and patient waiting, I got my joining date at Tata consultancy services as 29th of March, 2011. I did not even realized the transition from job searching phase to the employed phase as this all happened so soo fast!! There was a time after college I was involved in giving interviews and getting selected in various companies and now finally I am all set to join my preferred one! I say preferred one as in those days I was high on luck and time was with me.. whatever interview I gave I just cracked it in a go.. I got selected in 5 companies.. worked for about 1-2 days in 2 of em and then left as I didn't liked.. :D.. this includes my selection in Infosys...

I was all set and googled out about the place and hangout zones of Coimbatore, my proposed training location. Initially I was in an impression that being a small city it would not be a much fun experience there, but clearly I was just anticipating. Coimbatore despite of not having a proper TCS campus for training, was the best ILP city, I believe! Many groups were made at facebook and me myself created a few to gather up all the TCS joinees for the same place ie Coimbatore. We began chatting and got to know each other.. many friends were found over Facebook only months before we were actually gonna meet up! Then the day came, preparing for documents and online preparation, what TCS made us do, finally the day has come! I was at airport in Delhi where my flight was to leave for Coimbatore... In the airport itself many of us recognized each other by the Display-Pics of FB ;)... and also noticed the best gals accompanying our flight.. ;) the journey has begun...

I had a blast at Coimbatore.. beyond the learning at ILP (Initial learning Process @TCS), found many sweet memories.. many new life's experiences.. many new friends and explored many new places too!..

It was just a beginning to experience life's love, hate, anguish, competition, struggle, hardships, adventure, fun, exploration and yes the corporate world!...

At ILP it was just like a paid vacations that we were having, far away from life's all the hard sides.. only fun and 3 months in heaven...

I never expected to not to get my preferred place of joining, infact I was so sure and confident to get Delhi, that I was least bothered.. My preferences that I filled up were: 1. Delhi 2. Bangalore 3. Mumbai... and guess what.. I got Mumbai! :D It was a clear shock at the beginning...

Still I was not aware of .. what was gonna happen.. the real suspense! All the days of work and massti @ ILP passsed out... all the TRs (Technical reviews), ECs & Case studies passed over... mixed with fear, anxiety, and adventure... the last day of ILP came as well.. with mixed emotions and
sad feelings we have to left the place... that surprisingly we started to love a lot! Many things left at Coimbatore to miss.. many sweet memories.. many sweet people... many lovely places.. to name a few.. Glacier's park, Bombay trombay, That's why food, The Delhi wala, Brookfield Mall, Gandhinagar, Cross cut road, Sri sabri towers (Girls accommodation hotel! ;) :D ) Also I was sad of not getting my base location as Delhi, my home.. But still I was quiet excited to explore Mumbai.

The day has come on 1st July, 2011 was my flight from Coimbatore to Mumbai. I was accompanied by my roommate of ILP and we were so excited about Mumbai!...
Then the days of struggle, the hard days began... Reaching Mumbai I realized how a busy and big city life is... Delhi don't even stands in comparison... so much crowd.. so much traffic.... highly populous, overcrowded local train compartments... Gosh! I would never complain about crowd in Delhi metro again, it was not even half of what Mumbai locals have, you can't even turn 180 degree it is so much packed!! :D Above this Mumbai's crowd the city was too expensive, to get a proper meal you have to shed 200 bucks a minimum.. Eating out and living in Hotels in the first 10 days I spent around 10,000 bucks or more... Those were quiet a bad days I can say, till we looked out for an apartment and got settled in the city.. there were many issues even for small things... one can not get a local SIM card even without a "Local" Mumbai's document! :D Even passport was not working... later on we managed to get from the direct Reliance shop and Vodafone stores..

Office life was not a piece of cake as the ILP was!.. I faced the shit of corporate world and the bloody politics in the project teams and work culture.. I got a best project in Java so soon... but the atmosphere and team members were so bad... or I was just new to getting used to what usually happens in IT world! ;)... I switched one project... got another... that too core Java developement, considered too good... then unfortunately or fortunately (only time will tell)... I am released from that project too... right now I am enjoying the "sitting on bench" phase and getting salary without regularly requiring to go to office... :D
Waiting for my next allocation lets see what and when I get it... But one thing I have realised that in TCS your job is safe... it is thats why truely called ... "a sarkari company!"... :D

P.S: To accompany the above article with interesting images (that I chose to omit here :P), go visit my FB albums, Ofcourse you gotta be my friend for that! :D ToodleZ.



Update (15th July, 2012):

- Well only about 40% images are still available on Facebook, so I will append some good images here in the post itself soon, sad part is my hard disk is locked I need to get the data recovered from an expert to access those lovely images, so kindly bear with me! :P


- I have successfully completed an year in TCS with a good performance rating. :-)

Past days log...

Today was a heavy hearted day for me. Mixed feelings on their extreme proximity. Today I got the news of my bestest chum getting his first job. I can't express my happiness & love on that moment. That I say truly. (I wish you loads of success ahead, as you read this!) But simultaneously I felt my stomach churned to feel the very next moment, that I am alone, now I am left alone, to fight this battle, to get the first job! This feeling is still eating me as I write this blog down. Job is the most important priority as for now, as I am graduate (B.Tech) now. And to top up that worry, now is the fear of being left alone!! :( Family is with me, as always, but I feel worried myself. I was gone out for just 4-5 days for my cousin bro's marriage, & the company came on those days only, what a bad luck, they didn't even had any exam only one interview was enough. I feel I was not given the chance, destiny played unfair, all joys of marriage are dissolved now, I am in deep shit now. :-((
Yeah the battle had to be fought alone, but still I am fearing inside...

I don't know what woul come ahead...

Which job I would get...

How long I'll have to wait...

What struggles lies ahead...

Can't write more, I am broken now :'-( ...

Leaving all on God...

Past days log... :|

After a while now I am back with pen & paper (rather mouse & keyboard ;-) ...) to pen down something on my blog. I've been a bit involved for these days, to spare any time for blogging so...
On 7th this month I had the internals for final semester training's presentation. It didn't clicked well, as I per my expectation, but than expectations always kill you! The thing happened was like singing melody before a deaf. As my presentation subject was beyond the perceptions of my esteemed college teachers (or I must say the selected bimbos of college, specifically chosen for the task! ;-) ) who were mere acting as an object for distraction! :-p They didn't even got a slightest of idea of what I did in my project (Programming Radio frequency identification detection system on the VxWorks RTOS, the same OS that is used in Honda's ASIMO humanoid robot), & were not satisfied! But externals on 11th went par excellence, where the poor external examiner was speechless! :-D Now I am hoping for some descent marks, that's it, nothing more on it... My stay there was smooth, against the anticipations I was making, as I stayed at a friend's place @Ambala. & didn't had to live in the great place "Lalru!" ;-)

Now only one or two visits to college are left to collect the final mark sheet & the important thing, my engineering degree! :-D
Last days were not as rocking or party filled as I was expecting, some formal relations that were being carried forcibly were left behind, that might have carried away some good memories too... The good & true relations reflected shinning, that I can see shining ahead in life too...

Then I came back the sweet home. Got a new cellphone Nokia 5235. Again a small crap happened, that is making me think- have I repeated a mistake with buying Nokia?! As earlier also I faced some issues with Nokia 5233, (with mom now) though it is very fine now. I must say though Nokia has a sense for good engineering, they lack on the quality part still, if compared to global brands like Sony Ericsson, or Motorola. There seem to be no uniformity or standard in their products, still as I was not having more bucks I settled for Nokia. Hope to get a blackberry after job myself! ;-) Though Nokia phones are good, with good features, & I like them, but I am sincerely not a fan of Nokia!... Noway... I dream of a Sony Erricson Xperia, or Motorola Milestone or a Blackberry.... :-p
The issue I faced was with the display of my 5235, though 5235 seemed to be perfect in all respects after I purchased it from a Priority to be sure of quality, yes it is fine too, but as I placed both my 5235 & 5233 (older)... smash!... my happiness crashed! The "white" of my phone was paler than the "white" color of 5233 (No it's not an AD of Tide... ;-) ), that had really true & sharp contrast! This was disheartening but is not a reason enough to get me a replacement! :-( Though I am settled now as I don't have any affect of that difference, as my priority of usage is music, internet & office work & very less or least if I say I would use it for watching videos, though there won't be any pain in watching videos too, as the display actually has no issues, only the white is a bit pale, that's it! May be all 5235 had it, may be it is because 5235 is 80% made of recycled material, whatever, Nokia is not a brand for geeks!! ;-D

Also I had a small beer party with a friend here in Delhi, but there is nothing much to write, as nothing great happened. ;-)

Now a days I am involved in making a project for mom's school competition. It is robotic car with an robotic arm, all direction movements, remote controlled, it is almost done & have a power to lift upto 5kg load (or may be more!) :-D

Yummy Day... :-p [ Selfwritten ]


Today, for the first time in my life I tried to make a pizza at home! And with the guide book, OTG & all the ingredients handy, I successfully made many yummy, mouth-watering pizzas! :-p The whole day I had a surplus pizza diet for every meal. I made the cheese, capcicum pizzas toppes with tomatoes, onions & spices etc. Overall it not only looked great, but tasted awesome too! ;-)

And don't think I'll be sharing the secret recipe... LOL :-D

My first tire burst!

When your new bike's tire, that is in best-est of the condition, gets burst then that could be a heart breaking event!

Today, again in my way back to home from Noida, my bike's rear tire got burst due to a damn nail on the road (these Indian roads...). Luckily in that mid highway I got a repairing shop nearer to that location & I got saved from the problem of carrying the bike. That was not all, lucky again that I got a second hand, good condition tube too at that shop, as that time I was having only 100 bucks!

So like this today, for the first time in life, my bike's tire-tube got replaced!
And the inauguration of tire burst took place too!! :-D

My first 100kmph!

Today me & my friend Manish all of a sudden decided to go to NH-8, Gurgaon... just for the biking fun! LOL :-D & then to his college ITM Gurgaon. We rode over all 120km in about 4 hrs. The most great thing is that today I first time took my bike to a whooping 100kmph(approx), with two seater ride. The bike is some what limited in speed now as it is just 4 months old & the engine is pretty new. I swear to take my babe to around 110kmph after the 3rd service with a person sitting behind(or flying! :-D)!

We went to Gurgaon first, then instead of returning home went to the Pacific mall just for taffri, yeah I forgot the view of pretty babes that we saw @ The Ambiance mall, Gurgaon! ;-) But the most remarkable thing to do today was then again going to the V3S mall, just as we 'wished' to have some egg rolls!!

Overall a great, energetic, mind blowing, fun filled, & "biking" day today! :-D
Had loads of happy time! :-)

My first real bike accident!

Two days ago (28th April, wednesday) I experienced the real accident on my bike.
I was riding at the blazing speed of about 70kmph on a highway, then suddenly a Maruti 800 passed by from left side. There was a right turn ahead, I foolishly tried to overtake the car by few centimeters, yeah my heroic adrenalin might be at work! Maruti 800 drove ahead of me and took the right turn, I was at such a high speed & this car was ahead of me just few inches, gosh! I applied enormous breaks, bike skid for a few meters, then bang, I collided to the right gate of the car, that got a great dent.. ;-D then the next moment I remember is that the car flew away, and I was sliding down the road with the bike.....
Gladly the bike & me both were not much destroyed! LOL.
overall a great lesson!

Risking my a** !! [Selfwritten]

Like nowadays, today also I was on my way to Noida on my Pulsar 150 early in the morning. Though there is not much traffic in these hot days, but even if it is, then too the flow of traffic is pretty smooth & thus no jams. These days my industrial training is going on, that I am doing at an institute in Noida. It's around 20 kms far from my home, & about half an hour is enough for me to reach there in a breeze. (Yeah with an average speed of 60kmph that's possible! :-D)

It was around 9 in the morning today, there is a sharp turn that comes on my way, the path itself is bad enough with pitholes, dumps etc. Even stray cattle roam freely at the Ghazipur highway, LOL... fucking amusement.. common on Indian roads. On the way even heavy vehicles like trucks & buses pass from the same road. The road could be hardly 30-40 feets wide & fuck its two way! Though these things are not a problem for me now, as I am used to it now, & I even enjoy riding on this road! ;-)

So we were at that sharp turn, okay let's continue. As soon as I took the sharp, blind left turn on that 30-40 feet wide two-way road, there were three buses back to back in front of me, going in the same direction. Middle one was a private bus & following it & before were the green DTC low floor buses. My speed was very less & much under control for these kind of turns. A particular thing that I heard someone saying regarding these green buses, that the buses are so silent that you are not able to notice when they have come close behind you (specially if you are on a two-wheeler, then this can shake your a**!),is totally agreed by me! This is due to the fact that the engine of these green, low-floor buses is at the rear side of the bus, so if these are close to your a** then you might not be able to judge by the sound alone, only the rear view mirror helps. One other particular issue faced by two-wheeler riders (not drivers hehe!) due to these green monsters is that as the engine of them is behind, so a lot of heat is emitted from the back side. The rider in front of a two-wheeler can easily get roasted in the heat! ;-D I was in that particular situation today, as after wisely taking the left turn I maneuvered my way overtaking the two buses quickly, but the front green monster was just in front of me.. & I was stuck.. getting roasted due to heat & anger! Also only after few meters taking that left turn is a nasty speed breaker (or speed f**ker if I call!) that is very well known to me (dude I am travelling that path for past 4 months!), but even then I don't know what made me act as such, or the roasting heat fried my mind, whatever, I foolishly tried to overtake the front bus. Although the road ahead was clear & I found it comfortable to twist the throttle & overtake the green monster in a split of time! But in that planning I forgot about that killer speed-breaker, forget remembering,I not even cared to notice the road ahead of me! As at any point in riding one must remain focused on two things- traffic ahead & the road. And on Indian paths 'road' needs to be taken care of! As I earlier mentioned my bike is pulsar 150, with a good pickup, 60kmph in roughly 5 secs, As I tried to zap my way ahead of the green monster( which I managed successfully) in a fraction of time, I accelerated blazingly from 20-30 kmph to 40-50kmph, really this all was done in just a few seconds, as I even needed to overtake that green monster! I zapped... overtaken successfully... speed shooted up... and suddenly...... boom... came that bastard, son of a b**ch, speed breaker! Now picture this in mind- You are riding at around 40-50kmph, In front you are seeing speed breaker that is just 2-3 feets away!, beside you is the green monster (the DTC bus ofcourse! :-D)... What would you do to save your a**???... Even I can't explain in words how I managed the situation, as this is the subconscious mind of yours that acts quickly & naturally in such situation owing to how much have you trained your self with riding & how quick is your reaction time. In simple words I maneuvered & managed to curb my speed much, to have some control, with both rear & front disk brake, without toppling. I managed to cut my speed to about half, but had a small skid in the rear wheel & the speed breaker came under at the same time that made the bike kind of wobble!..(like my shaking heart :-D) It was like those bull riding scenes in which the performer controls the mad bull, riding on it. I some how retained my balance, avoided collision with the beside green monster & few two wheelers scattered here & there. And ultimately was in control of my bull & made it calm. I literally touched my forehead & thanked the lord after I finally passed that place riding safe!

My advice- Folks remain focused on the traffic ahead & equally importantly the path while riding (or driving), & be safe!

The day of tempting KFC hot wings bucket... [Selfwritten]

Today I went to CP for the termination of my Tata Photon- Whiz. I was bored with the slow dial up connection speed that I got with photon. Moreover the plans of photon were really high!! The type of internet connection that I got with photon for about 700 bucks, can be achieved via Airtel for only 99 bucks! So I got it disconnected. Just opposite to the Tata outlet was KFC. I took a steaming bucket of Hot wings of KFC for home.

Immediately after taking the bucket, I was in metro on my way back to home. There was an amusing thing with that journey way back. The bucket of hot-wings was not seal packed, it was just covered via a cardboard lid & kept in a bag. As the gates of metro sealed, the strong aroma of the tempting hot-wings begin to tingle every body's taste buds there! ;-) Now the best part was, as every body obviously noticed the strong aroma of fried spicy chicken, nobody could make out from where it was coming. The whole observation was completely hilarious. I bet everyone wanted a piece of it!! hehehe.

Price for being Geeky! =) [Selfwritten]

Being geek is a thing, but paying for it is a humorously distinct feat!
I bought a Nokia 5233 few days ago, 20th march to be precise. But trust me since then I used it for a day or two only. It was actually with the Care center for all these days, that too four distinct ones for varied durations. If I tell you the reason why, then you people may wanna kill me! Though its not making pigs fly kinda thing to explain, but the problem was hell technical & that too like most people might not even notice. It was a programming inconsistency in the OS of the phone, that whenever one inputs a phrase twice into the phones memory via the security center, then the auto-rotate motion display toggle freezes! ... Woosh! Told ya, it's not that interesting to know! LOL. Okay leave the details (Although curious folks may contact me! ;-D). This was a pain of my ass to make the engineers actually swallow the problem down their throats. Still it remained unsolved & I had to accept the phone as such in the end. I really sometimes surprise myself of my geeky activities! As in all these days I really did a hell of things with Nokia. I almost made to blew off the job of one engineer at the noida's nokia care. Made nokia head over heels for addressing my issue(Ofcourse the 'consumer court threat' thingy did well.. hehe).Though an issue is an issue may be small or big, when you pay for it, you want each bite of it! But such things must not be pushed off limits in such a way... well I'll be more kind & less geeky in future (at least I can hope that!).. That was the story. I am heading to sleep now. Astalavista!

The path of life is not so smooth... [Selfwritten]

Life is not so smooth...
Rather it is a boulevard...with lots of stones.
One such rock in my life came yesterday.
That shook my heart terribly.
Yesterday in morning I had a sessional, my first sessional of 7th semester.
Two exams were there back to back.
So in the morning I was preparing for it..so was my roommate- Mohit.
Now the thing what I do not understand ever is why in the blue hell whatever I ever say to him sounds like a sarcastic taunt to him.
We have lived for about past 3 years now.
It's only 2 months left for every thing...
This is a point that every body is settled with their lives..& there is no room that is easily available here.
The rent is quiet high...paid by us both, dividedly.
Now what happened yesterday is while I was studying outside room, & I just entered the room, I saw Mohit on my bed with his feet on my pillow.
Keeping feet on pillow was a bit wrong for me so I asked, normally -
"Mohit par hata le (Mohit remove your feet)"
Mohit- Hata lia! (Just adjusted the feet a few inches away, not changed his position or even removed the pillow)
My second line-
"Abbe hata le par" (Plain & loud tone, not at all harsh)
Mohit- Hata to hai! (Sitting same)
I thought not to extend it, said-
"Chal theek hai"
After a while I sitted on his bed... he said to keep a towel & sit.
I said let's move to our beds (ofcourse pillow thing was also the reason)
.
.
- No other talks -

He moved to college that day alone.
Both of our's exams were ruined.
& above all as usual he told his home all the story, adding that he is terribly frustrated & wanna end the life.
This is the enough big statement for any parent to be a hell lot of worried.
Leave what my image would have been now!
& his parents were willing to come there that time only...to get his room changed.
What even he was wanting I don't know from how long he was planning it.
Now at this point..all alone... I got terribly pissed off.
I was worried about living, my own hell bad image, & more over his parents worried .... that too because of me....for a lame reason!
There becomes some attachment too for the person that you've lived for three years!
I was really thinking if there is any God!
Cried that day 2 times.
Left all on the god.
I still have no clue what would happen...
May be I will live all alone, In this room only, with full rent by me!

End of a bizzare incident today! [Selfwritten]

Although today's day was no different from ordinary.
Since a weekend, so as usual I chilled & relaxed much today.
A few days ago I had a little heated talk with my land lords. Actually the problem began since I came back on 16th August after a long holiday. Every day something or the other. Once they won't open the door at night after 10. Other day they needed room painted & that too urgently. But the problem began when they asked for our room keys for some wood work. They may be right in some ways, but actually never tried to cooperate with us. And moreover never cared for our good's safety or anything, they just want their own motto fulfilled! They really cooperated so less. Demanded more money always. And never fulfilled even basic needs like water. Ha! but still never satisfied!
So when they asked for my room keys, although already refused by me many a times earlier, I got really fumed up! It was my laptop & things I was bothered, though my room mate as usual remained neutral.
The problem was, although I demanded right thing, but was really hard on tone when I refused to them.
I might be high on BP then, or even could be that my resistance to their growing nuisance was reducing.
They told to leave the room this coming 1st of Sep.
I was'nt bothered much. & would have preferred living somewhere else, rather than this hell place, even so expensive!
But two things came to my mind:
1.The rooms are scanty here.
2.I must have watched the tone!

Other people also told the same, that for the 4 months remaining why to roam for a new room.
And more over I wanted to apologize for my wrong tone, Since they were elder to me. May be whatever they done, or how right my point was, I did't had to be harsh, so I should appologise, rest was fine on my part.
So I talked nicely, clarifying, & appologised too.
But then, Volla! revealed their hidden motive!
They were'nt having much problem with what I was feeling sorry(My harsh way of talking), but rather wanted to increase the room rent.
Yeah they wanted more money.LOL.

That's how today ended a bizarre incident!

The smashing day of Amar's Birthday Party! [Selfwritten]


We were making a plan to go & eat out for the last few days. As my friend Amar's (Neta) Birthday Party was still due. So finally we went to chandigarh. Watched a movie "Kaminey" & had dinner at a good restaurant. The fun & enjoyment of today was great & beyond words!

18th August' 2009- Bunked class, Went to Chandigarh! [Selfwritten]

Today I managed to woke up!..but late.(still not used to schedule after the long holidays!!) So I smashed up till 9.00AM & got ready some how. Meanwhile Gourav called my room mate Mohit- "Chal chandigarh chalte hai, mausam accha hai, ghumenge, aur books bhi to leni hai!(lame excuse..hehe)"
So but obviously he told-" Aj mai college nahi jaunga!".
I nodded but was determined to go!
I even took pen & register & went donwnstairs for college.
But then I stopped & came back, I thought- "I am late, may be I should go for second lecture straght!"
So I was sitting idle..that about 9.15AM Mohit came & pursuaded me for Chandigarh instead of college(well not that hard although! LOL)
I thought not much important lectures today, so why not bring books!
I had no idea at that time what a bash we would gonna have.
I visited "Sukhna lake" & "Rock Garden" of Chandigarh for the first time!
Above all at Rock garden it rained & made things much merrier!
We did boating in Sukhna lake too.
Rest all roaming, eating & fun!
& yeah got the full set of 7th sem books too.
Greatly enjoyed today!

16th August- Way back to college! [Selfwritten]

The day was fine & the journey was great!
I accompanied a friend.
Moreover had laptop on the way!
& on top of all, the weather was like icing on the cake! :)
Delhi got the relief from beating heat only a day before, with few rains.
And today also the climate was so candid.
Cool breez with few droplets...A really soothing climate & that too in a semi-luxury bus!
This was one of those many, good trips way back to college.
Enjoyed & came relaxed to college. A nice trip! :)

27th-Jul'09 - A lovely day in CP !! [Selfwritten]

Today I woke up as usual normally at about 8.30 AM. I started lazily, had breakfast & opened my laptop. After about an hour I started TV & watched watever! At 1 "O" Clock Manish called up. Manish is a very good friend of mine. An old friend from school. He is really a good fellow, a gem of a person! I was planning a haircut, so I thought lets get it done today! I went for his home, though only 10minutes away, still took me 25 minutes(due to a very big traffic jam)! Not a very good start of the day. Lol. Also it was very hot TILL THAT TIME!
I had the haircut then went to his home. Then all of a sudden we decided for going to Cannaught Place(CP). CP is a very cool place to hang out in Delhi! I really love the place! The food, people & stuff are great here. It's an ideal place for shoppers!
Here is the local map of CP in Delhi-

AT CP the first requirement was to have some drinks!
We searched for CP and found a very descent Restaurant cum lounge called "Mirchi"!
I sincerely recommend you people please go there! It's really a very nice place with a lovely environment & a much lovelier waitresses lol!!
Seriously the environment of shower side wooden seats with cool breeze of fresh air & a well air conditioned climate! It was great! This is an ideal place for family outing or friends hangout or maybe even corporate get-together!
Well this time me & my friend Manish were chilling out!
We called for an waiter asked for menu. Honestly it was costly for us, but as we wanted only a drink, so we ordered only a bottle of beer. It was about thrice of it's normal price, but the rate was worth it! I was gazing at the shining beer being poured in my glass so prefectly! & both of our mouths were watering! At first we thought it won't matter at all to have only 1 glass of Kingfisher Strong, yeah that was the brand!,as we could have 2 bottles of it easily! but we were terribly wrong!...
We enjoyed our drinks, had a great time! Chit chatted. And when we left... Yeah when we stand up.. I realised that Manish was right that the beer is a bit strong! It worked dude, only a glass of it!, & we were spinning in joy!
Here are the picks of Mirchi, thanks to that waiter!-


After that our next plan was to eat something good... preferably non-veg!
Now if you are wondering about a good non-veg restaurant with lots of variety & an Indian touch! then KFC is not the place. Very near to "Mirchi" in PVR Plaza, is a place in CP called "Nizam" this is a place you should try! Go for it! I recommend it more than KFC! Although both may not be compared.. as KFC has a different style!
We had a LOT, really a whole lots of food at "Nizam's Kathi Kabab". It took around 700 to 800 bucks of Indian money! But the food is very economical, tasty & unique! These were the things we had in a single day!!-
1. Mutton seekh kabab
2. Mutton Biryani
3. A double chicken- double egg roll
4. One Keema kaleji kalimirchi with rumali rotees.

Trust me the food was finger eating tasty! We enjoyed a lot! It was a great & lovely time. We were filled till our neck! But the thirst of "Mirchi's" special beer was recollecting! We both wanted some more good beer @ Mirchi but we already had a lot of food! So we decided to just walk around in cp for few minutes before we go again to Mirchi! In this mean time we were unaware of the arrival of the very awaited Mr.Monsoon! The climate was really cloudy, cool & awesome with a little droplets since evening! & to roam in CP in such great weather, with ofcourse all good chicks hanging around!, was breath taking! We clicked some pics while roaming-


Then we went for "Mirchi" to have one more beer! This time sadly kingfisher was not available & a brand called "Sand piper" was there. We thought scottish beers are good & went for it but dude stay away from that brand!... It's a pure mineral water! lol!
By now it started raining heavily! The rain was continuing since evening. Even at the time we left for cp. But it was not that heavy till then! This rain did'nt stopped & went more & more heavy!.. that we were not expecting!! So we stayed there for longer chilling, enjoying having Ice- creams!, Yeah we had ice-creams too in such heavy rains!!
At the end we managed to went near Manish's home via metro. But then without any vehicles availibility.. we went on foot for about 5 minutes in heavy rains!!
It was fun walking in rain in such cool weather! Although a bit tired, we were troubled by the rains too.
Then my buddy Manish dropped me to home by his car. Thank god we had a car,else there was no vehicle's avail & the rains were really heavy!!

Overall a truly great day!!! We enjoyed a lot!..Yeah a LOT!!
& thus it worths blogging!! :)
