People in Delhi Metro!



People you would have met in Delhi metro!


Metro Travel equals Praying time - Keeping holy books in their posh bags is old Fashioned. Now what they like to do is use Airtel 4G network to search the Hymn for the day. NO! they don't search "Hymn for the weekend", though it's a nice song to search for ;)  .


All dolled up- Heavy make-up while traveling is intolerable. How do they manage this and those pencil heels while travelling! Have you ever tried catching an auto in those. It's next to impossible!


The Ultimate talker- They generally have two phones (a Smartphone and a Nokia C2) and all their talks, boss' stories, relationship stories, Mom's advice, yelling on your junior, planning for that party, never-ending talk with a friend are done in metro only. I wonder how do they get the signal .I also own a decent phone with a decent SIM still I face signal problems :(


Eyes on your phone- The ones who just keep looking in your phones , reading every damn conversation and email you are doing. Or just observing your Facebook activities. That's most annoying, really.

Like this! They won't let you know!

So called aged - I remember, once when I was travelling, I sat on the Reserved seat for the aged people because there weren't any prospective aged in my compartment that time. I mean why leave it empty? After few stations when there arrived one and I offered the seat, she refused to have it saying,    " No beta, Keep sitting, after all, I am not that old" .You are right Aunty, you were not that old ! and you can never be. Sorry for this!


Very busy ones - Mostly school students on weekends attending coaching classes. The moment they sit, they open their books and start discussing their doubts. Perhaps, the perfect use of their long  journey with friends. After all who doesn't like gossiping!


Police with their pets -You would not have met them had you not travelled in Red line! Forget the Dabangg policeman,( I used the word "Dabangg" because they do wear black aviators sometimes) the security dogs are just so cute, mostly Labrador or Alsatian but you just admire them so much. Bad for you if you haven't travelled in red line. ;)


Make up but only in DMRC mirror - All nice and clean and they mess their look by getting ready looking in the Metro gate mirror. Some do have mirrors with them also but seriously, moving metro, passengers and make-up makes no sense.


The Reader and the Gamer - They are in their own world of fantasy, be it a novel or a game(No candy crush for God's sake).I once bumped into my school  friend who was waiting at the metro station and not boarding the metro because she was just two pages behind finishing off her novel. Embarrassed on me knowing this, she definitely regretted meeting me that day.

  
Music is my breath- These are the people who come in metro all messed up and running out of breath, frantically huffing and puffing, still the first thing they do when they enter is - earphones, I can't live without them!


The one with as many bags as kids - They have a luggage bag, a sling bag , a clutch bag and a shoulder bag  and also small kids to handle. I seriously believe after this that there should be a Baggage Handling System for all Metro stations,so that your bags could reach your destination station internally handled by DMRC. Wouldn't it be so great ,no luggage to bother for! It will reach Kashmere gate by the time I reach there. Because that pushes, people with big bags give to other people are real pain. Lol!


The Sleeper- Perhaps the best utilisation of time, hehe..... They board metro with the intention that they have to have that so needed power nap. Mostly found during evening metro travel and beware because they might use your shoulder as their pillow.

Personalities in a girl's college




Types of Personalities in a girl's college

1)The Elegant ones :- They wear black, talk less( mind you very, very less),their minds are not full of crap, they are fun to be with.

2) The Bitches :- They are evil, hideous, they talk behind your back, they almost never complete a sentence without a local slang to bitch someone. They think they are very cool(may be they are sometimes!) but they are just so mean, self-centered and God knows what else...

3) Immature professionals :- They talk formal, eat formal, sleep formal..duhh!! Live formal. They add a perspective of placements ,every time you go talk to them.

4) Studious ones :- They attend every damn lecture.(God..why ?).You go talk to them and they give you one hell of a reason as to why they won't agree to the mass bunk.

5) The Sunflowers :- Every break they get, be it lunch break, bunk break, class postponed break, teacher-late-break, they go sit in the ground  to have sunlight(got it Sunflowers!! ?) and talk crap (seriously)
6) Sitcom and movie buffs :- Every new release around the corner, sci-fi, non sci-fi(covers every other thing. Ain't  I smart? Because there are just these two types that exists for me) they are loaded with info about it. They read novels in and out while commuting. Chilled out and relaxed always. Have had many sitcom marathons.!!(WoW).

7) Fashionistas :- That Oh-so-stunning girl of the class! Pretty, Pretty, Pretty that's what describes these girls. You sincerely wonder how do they manage a figure like that when there exists such sumptuous, lip-smacking street food in this world. They are the flag-bearers of the Fashion society and manage to look like this even on exam days(How in the world can that happen!).

8) The Liars :- A lie..that's not needed at all. Just say a NO, clean and easy. They lie and pretend so much. They always lie to you that they are doing nothing just waiting for time to pass by, however in reality they have already finished that extra reference book your teacher told you to see if you have time left. Just don't fall in their trap! They would make it difficult for you to pass the semester. Stay away and awake, these are corrupted people who would attack you with the procrastination Virus. Keep your system updated with an AntiVirus program!

9) Once-in-a-bluemoon girls :- They appear just during the exam season to gather notes, give exams and that's it. You don't see them for the next few months. Seriously ,How is the attendance managed? I want this haunting question to be answered.

10) Silent Warriors :- They keep it simple. They are so busy improving themselves they have no time to criticize others. Clearly the best ones. They just slay it in the exams every time. You will admire their company.

Everything Google!




Everything Google!

A day without Google is hard to imagine. With it's oh-so-good services and that perfect doodle for the day , you just can't manage your stuff without it, no matter whether you are an engineer, doctor, lawyer, manager, teacher, student or any Homosapien involved or not in a profession.

Because not exploiting Google's service just deprives you of good things in life.

Let me start by this haunting experience of mine. I had just got my PC formatted by my computer-wala-bhaiya but unfortunately he forgot installing Ms office on it. Now I had to submit this presentation to a teacher and a word doc to one of my seniors. Unaware of the scarcity of resources on my PC, I started my work quite late at night and Boomm...! I just couldn't open either word or power point,obviously because I had no Ms office installed. And those few moments were spent imagining the after-effects of this mistake. I tried finding Ms office for downloading but of no use. Then I realized that I could try doing it on my docs and presentation using Google drive. Thankfully, I was able to make my presentation and doc and it saved me from the wrath of my seniors.

Not just this but Google Drive also makes working in teams quite easy. Simultaneous editing of the same doc by different people at the comfort of their place. No more fighting on who did the less work and who more. See it being done by people in front of your eyes. It saves so much time, no separate docs to be made, no emailing, no merging in the end. Just one place for the making of your document!

It's not just Drive but many Google services that are worth admiring. Here are some of my Google memories.



"One Google account for everything Google'': This is so true. Make a Gmail account and Enjoy all Google services. Not just this, but many sites also offer an option called ''Sign in with Google'' .You don't need to enter your details on each and every site you register for, just the google account and you are good to go.

Forms: Isn't completing and sharing a questionnaire made so easy using Google forms. I mean one practically doesn't need any coding knowledge.

Translate: Translating was never so easy! as Google search engine comes equipped with translate option. We can open web pages in so many different languages. It may not be of much use to the English-speaking youth of India but in rural India it has it's importance.

Google Scholars: I remember making my research project in my first year,collecting previous researches done on the same topic can turn cruel. Google scholar looks after this need of yours. Researches on or related to your topic right there for your reference.

Maps: Lost in a new town or exploring new places on your own, with Google maps you do it all with grace. All you need is a smartphone loaded with fast internet.

There are so many more Chrome, Pocket, Google+, Google image search, Google Art Project,Google goggles, Google keep,Google Buzz, Hangouts, Calendar, You Tube, Picasa, Panoramio, Wallet and the list goes on and on. Go on and try some new google stuff .But make sure you have the googliness!

P.s. I am not a Google Ambassador nor have I watched "The Internship" recently,It has been almost a year.But Yes, I like praising good things…

Inspiration from a Comedian

Inspiration from a Comedian


Can a common, humble, honest man be the candy of everybody ‘s eye? 
Can a sub inspector’s son be the most known comedian of the country? 
Can a poor man who did comedy for living be listed in the Forbes India’s Top 100 celebrity  list. 
The answer is Yes. It’s one and only Kapil Sharma.

His witty one-liners are in any way going to sway your mind for their strong presence of mind.
This man has built every bit of himself with sheer determination and  hardwork, with the Kapil flavour added all over. He is not just a comedian but an inspiration to thousands on how one chases his  dreams.

Kapil was involved in theatre during his college days. He loved theatre. 
But it was behind scenes that he discovered his rare talent. He realised that in between the shows  and the rehearsals , in the short breaks given ,It was always him responsible to tickle everybody’s funny bone .His light-hearted comedy makes everybody giggle like a kid.Think yourself how can “Babaji kaa thullu” be funny,unless it’s being promoted by brand Kapil.

He had struggled for 10 years before he got his break in Comedy Nights .
He was previously rejected after his auditions for the “The Great Indian Laughter Challenge”.
But then got a call back . Now it was this rejected man who went on to WIN the show..!!!

With the 10 lakhs price money , he got his sister married.
 Probably the most lavish wedding in his family. He followed the same path , won Comedy ke
Tansen with Shweta Tiwari. And soon after launched his own show –“Comedy nights wth Kapil”.

The theme and the characters of the show were very unique and the audience loved it.
The show is a massive hit in India as well as broad.Big B-town celebrities and sports personalities
 like Mr.Amitabh Bachan, Shahrukh Khan, Akshay Kumar, Ranbir Kapoor,Aishwarya Rai, Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra, Virat kohli, Suresh Raina, Saina Nehwal, Sania Mirza etc etc. , have been to the show.You name it and that celebrity has been there(Not to be taken Literally)
In an interview,Kapil admitted that he dreams of inviting Mr. Modi to the show.Well, I must say,that’s quite a task Kapil !

                                      

Well, I am not here as his publicity team.But that can’t stop anyone in getting inspired from the self-made men. When you write ‘Kapil’ on Google , along with likes of Kapil Dev and Kapil Sibbal, you also get-“Kapil Sharma”.Quite a victory ,No?

        Inspiration must not necessarily come from billionaires, all suited, suave and professional  , sometimes it can be found in a simple man.
             I would have not decided to write about him, had he been just a famous comedian.Well, I decided to write because there is  a certain groundedness that one can sense in him.
Psychologically thinking, it's a true fact that someone looks more charming and appeals more if he isn't surrounded by an aura of Rational egoism.Kapil hasn't let his popularity and fame affect him. And that's what has made him more acceptable to the viewers.
We love him, don't we?

My love for Iron man

Well, this first blog basically, shares my love for Iron man. In my future blogs I would share tits and bits that I think are worth sharing and would interest people.So, here it goes...... 

 How many times has this happened with you that...you switch on your T.V and instead of watching news or any melodrama(only if you prefer) or documentaries..,you end up cherishing every single dialogue of the Iron man series   ....;) ...or you are in a conversation with your friend but  you just can't hold the pain of not telling your (anti-scifi) friend about the epic final fight scene of dinosaurs from the Jurassic world. 

If you have been suffering from such situations , then you are at the right place,because  this post of mine discusses some of my favourite scenes that are sure to start a thought in you. 

Earlier science fiction was much more about animation and imagination,It still is, but now it has the ability to make us see the future. Scientists developing Iron man like suits for soldiers,DNA modification for better breeds of animals,Artificial Intelligence in robots and other machines are only few examples...but boundaries end at infinity.These things are quickly making their way to reality.That time is not far when we will be surrounded by all things sci-fi.

The popular Iron man series is also one of them.Iron man akka Tony Stark gracefully paves his way to your heart with his brilliance,attitude,intelligence,intellect,charm and the list goes on.He is commendable in everything he does.In this post, I have shared some of my connotations of the scenes from the trilogy.

  • Friend in need is a friend in deed

You always need a friend like Rhodey, who could make the things clear for your action and is always there for you.Rhodey was a true companion of Tony and truly defines friendship.



  • Attitude stays the same

You will always love what you love,and hate what you hate...When The Millionaire was kidnapped in part I , on his return he didn't asked for any medical attention, instead a cheese sandwich.
And as per his rules, headed the press conference  While sitting on the floor and playfully finishing his burger.
                 




  • Hangover is always hard..
Even the heros can have a hard time in their hangovers...and If you tackle this correct you will get the solution to your  Paladium problem..haha..  ;) I mean any problem of your life. The hardcore fans will be able to relate.The scene shows how at some times even the toughest can have a life crisis and what you need is perseverence.
When Iron man had problems with the functionality of his core, causing harmful effect to his health,he was taken aback too. It took him time to find the solution and Be what he always was !



  • The Rivals
There's gonna be competition in your life.... Here it was from the Hammer tech. While in part-II Rhodey wanted to bust the bunker of his enemy in the finale fight using ex-wife(the so-called strongest Hammertech), it failed to even move the enemy. 


Sorry, Justin Hammer, but this was really useless.


  • Sometimes you need to run before you can walk
      Jarvis: There are still terabytes of calculations left, Sir.
Iron man : Jarvis,Sometimes you need to run ..before you  walk.

Thank you for your time, Stay tuned ...there is lot more I want to share with you people.
