My Hang Out Friends ..!!

As the time moves on, my friendship voyage also keeps moving ahead! Not that I keep forgetting my old set of friends and look for new ones... but it's just that, I connect well with people who are more or less of my types... fun-loving, less-complicated and easy-going types! Glad to have met a few in this category too! Meeting them or spending time with them can be taken characterized as "fun, fun and only fun"! Here goes a brief intro of each of them :

YUVRAJ :- Our own "Prince Charming"! His never-ending zeal and always-lifted spirits made him one of the strongest pillars of our group. Quite amiable in nature and a  very helpful friend... you would always find him besides you in the best of your moments and worst of situations. Life is always at a speeding pace and very very eventful when he is there. I would always cherish the times we had shared.... let be at outings or parties or movies or any venture we tried! A "gem" of friends indeed!

SHIPRA :- We started as colleagues... then became good friends and now we are roommates. Her easy-going character is very much evident from the progress she made from a colleague to my roommate. It also defines how well we got along with each other. Like me, she also has a very long chain of friends. Having her around is really fun! I always wonder how would she survive if she is ever punished to stay quiet for just an hour.... a real chatter-box she is! But the point here is, I really love her chattery nature. In fact, I can't bear her sitting quietly.... and if at all she does, then guys, be sure that she is having a mood-out time and you better be careful dealing with her! You never know, what trouble you invited :P Jokes apart, she is caring and loving and of course, a very dear friend of mine! Love you lots, Shipu!! Keep talking... keep rocking :)

SAMBIT :- We knew each other because of Shipra. He is both funny and fun-loving! His talks can create wonders. You won't even realize if he is praising you or teasing you (Trust me, this is an art... not everyone can do this :P). A great lover of Paneer and Hookah. That means, if you are with him an item of Paneer is must and if at all, you have invited him over lunch/dinner... Paneer is a mandatory item (It's paneer for him as it's chicken for me :P). I really had a tensed moment when I prepared Paneer for him (tried something for the first time). As the saying goes... every friend is necessary(courtesy Airtel), it's really cool to have a friend like him around!You can laugh, laugh and laugh till you drop... when he is there!

SHOBHIT :- When there's a discussion about Sambit... Shobhit has to be there! They are our very own "Jai-Veeru"! He is sensible and helpful and a good friend to be with. But when he is with Sambit, there's only fun, fun and fun! It's good to have such people around... they give a good break from the boring monotonous life! Shobhit as such is cool and composed except those few wonderful moments when some special people come infront of him! You won't find him anymore in this world... he would be lost in his dreams in a different world! Jokes apart, a nice guy with wonderful creative ideas (which I like the most) and of course, wonderful friend!

RITESH :- A new addition in my group. He was late to join us but his energy matches with us (though we haven't gone out yet together for outings and all). A good friend who can talk and talk and talk and would always say that I talk a lot (I know, some of my friends have no brains :P) He, like Vipin, has a good book of childhood days which would make you cry out of laughter! One thing I like about him.... he never says "No" (at least not to me, so far)! Such a good friend he is, he agreed to watch even Ra.One with me... though I am not sure if he liked the movie or not! And because of that only reason.. I can consider him as one of my good friends I made in Bangalore!! Keep it up, Ritesh.... Don 2 is on the way :P

In addition to the above mentioned, hanging out is always a fun with Shirish, Arathi and Sanjeev also... for the adventurous spirits and amazing attitude they have! Glad to have such people in my life! Still, my listing is incomplete... hope I will finish it someday!!


Friendship is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything..!!

Meeting My Bangalore Friends ..!!

I am mostly easy-going in nature for which I guess, I mix well with people. Over the years, I have made a number of friends.. some of them I still preserve while some chose to move away. Also there were few whom I mistook as my friends and had to go away from them. Whatever be the case, the fact still holds good that I have many friends whom I can always count on!

After coming to Bangalore, the most enjoyable times were the initial training days... more or less similar to that of the college days. We were around 25 and we connected really well and became friends. Now, Shirish, Vipin, Yuvraj, Ashish, Mouli, Arathi, Jahnavi... these are the most mentioned names in my blogs but I have not shown them completely to my world of blogging (except Shirish, Vipin and Ashish). So here is brief description of my new set of friends here:

ARATHI :- One of my friends from Ness with whom my walking frequency matches really well :) We have been friends since our training days and one thing I can guarantee about her is, she is a wonderful friend. Easy-going in nature, fearless, energetic and enthusiastic are the words that describe her well. She has a bit of creative side in her too. She is a voracious reader too. The best thing about her is, you chose any topic, she can have a conversation with you on that! Vipin has to be careful always when Arathi is around, who knows she may try some of her Karate tricks on him :P

MOULI :- We met at Ness and connected really well (she being a Bengali from Assam and studied in Odisha). She did not stay with us in the accommodation we were provided but on special occasions she would join us and again we used to drop her at her place. From shopping to parties to outing, she was always there. From friends, we became roommates and true as we thought, she is a "delicate-darling". Scared of almost all living creatures (lizards to cockroaches to cows to dogs to cats... almost everything) but love reading and watching vampire series. I have seen her gradual transformation from a bubbly girl to a very responsible sister and daughter! Once you know her, teasing becomes really fun and she is really an easy target :P

JAHNAVI :- We started off as roommates since the beginning of our training in Ness. She would always be in her world... through her phone! Fun loving and cheerful, she would always join us in all the fun acts we do. Whenever she walks or gets ready to go somewhere, she would take her own sweet time to prepare or walk. So in case, you want her at a certain time, you should actually tell her to start from an hour earlier.. then hopefully she would reach on time! One of thing, in case you are watching Hindi movies with her, then there are chances you might be asked for better clarifications of the ongoing scenes :P Jokes apart, she is a wonderful girl to hang out with :)

ANJANA :- Anjana is someone with a diverse knowledge on almost all techs n gadgets. That's a different story that she realized "the 3 mistakes of her life" after joining Ness. She would not join us in all our fun activities always yet she would come in one or two which we plan according to her availability. You chose any topic, she can take the conversation from there. It's fun to have her around to keep away boredom! A nice friend indeed :)

SANJEEV :- "The Mysterious Killer" of our group! We adopted this nomenclature for him for his role in a skit we had during our early induction days. But chill guys, his intentions are purely harmless. a very fun loving guy and jokes are always at his tongue tip. One thing you would notice about him is... he and his cell phone are inseparable! He is always lost in his phone. We used to meet regularly for lunches earlier but with increased workload, that has become a bit tougher. Yet we still try to meet as and when possible!

The list of my friends doesn't ends here. But the list here is a bit special for they are the pioneers in making my life at Bangalore fun and easy going! Had they not been there, I would have lost every interest for this place and ultimately my work! Thanks guys, for everything!


Friends are the sailors who guide your rickety boat safely across the dangerous waters of life..!!
