Conversation

Me: "Is somebody sitting on this chair"?

Answer: "You are, buddy". :)

Difference......

Things that are different in USA (from India):

1. Everybody who meets your eye, says "Hello" to you. (gals included)
2. The traffic moves in the opposite direction.
3. If you are walking on the road, the vehicles give you way.
4. The toilets don't have water, they use paper.
5. People hold the door for you to walk.
6. A lot of Thank you and excuse me are exchanged.

Jeans Day

A lady just placed a pamphlet on my desk……..It says

"Jeans Day" Thrusday Sept. 25.

Donate $3 for PrimeVest's Day of Caring Project and you can wear jeans on Thursday, Sept 25..

( Lolz……….$3 for wearing jeans……..i would rather be in my trousers). On a second thought, they are just finding reasons to contribute back to the society.

First Day

Early morning yesterday…………I was standing infront of Subway, waiting for a collegue of mine to take me to office. A man dressed in black was walking towards me, as he came closer, he raised up his index finger up in the air. And when he was close to me, he shouted "Fuckk You Indians". A warm welcome to America on the very first day lolz ;)

The Hotel: Grandstay Residential Suite, St. Cloud,MN & Office

The Hotel is superb. I am staying here in a One bedroom suite. It has a drawing room with a sofa, chair, tv in it. A kitchen with a big table and two chairs, microwave, big refrigrator, gas, utensils, toaster, dishwasher and all the other things that you can think of.

The bedroom is cozy with a big Tv included. The room temperature can be controlled with a device. The bathroom is lavish and there are like dozens of towels that you can throw around.

Weather is nice. Feels good inside the room/office but once you go outside there are chilly winds and you need a jacket.

The main hit here happened when ING gave me a desktop to work on. I am without a laptop here which means I am going to be bored big time.

Surfed all the channels on the TV also but the only channel that seems known is HBO, but it also doesn't shows movies all the time.

Journey to USA

The flight was at 2'o clock in the night but I started early from my home so that I have enough time to commute and reach the airport on time. It seemed to be a fine decision as on the way, the engine of the cab which I hired heated up. The first thought that came to me was "Why does it have to happen with me?". Well, after stopping the cab twice and refilling the engine with chilled water, I finally reached the airport.

After joining my colleague who was also flying with me, we went inside the airport and checked in our luggage. Well as expected both of the luggage were over-weight but the lady at the counter didn't say anything and gave me the boarding pass. The next stop was the Immigration counter where the guy asked me "Where was I going and why ? ". He was satisfied with the answer and stamped my passport. Next was the security counter where the baggage was scanned and a body search was done, without any issue :) . I was in at around 11 and the flight was at 2 in the morning and then it was a long wait for the flight.....

The airport waiting area was crowded as there were too many people waiting for their boarding announcement. The only difference from a railway station was that there were enough chair for the people to be seated. So people were on chair rather than on the floor as we see in the railway station.

Ok, the boarding started at around 1 and I boarded the plane. It was a KLM flight and the aircraft was huge Dougles aircraft. The seats were in economy class. Travelling in economy class is really a pain (The seats of bus have more leg room). You cannot even stretch your legs while sitting on the seat.

The journey was long

1) New Delhi --> Amsterdam : 8 hrs + 5 hrs waiting
2) Amsterdam --> Atlanta : 10 hrs + 4 hrs waiting
3) Atlanta --> Minneapolis : 2 hrs
4) Taxi from Minneapolis to St. Cloud : 2 hrs

So total 22 hours ki journey with 9 hrs waiting

Amsterdam airport was huge and the view of the airport with all the aircrafts was fabulous. There was an ING stall there where the ING/Renault racing car was dispalyed with cute chicks around.

The Taxi from Minneapolis to St. Cloud was driven by a Somalian driver "Mahmood". He was a nice guy and had few questions for me. He spoke few hindi words also and had a conversation with me all throughout the journey. He advised me to marry an american girl and get a green card.

Reached hotel at 10pm Sunday night (started on Saturday night from India). I was too exhaused but was unable to sleep.. maybe due to the jet lag. The Grandstay residential suite hotel and its One bedroom suite is luxuries. I am going to have a good time here

सोच

रूठे बैठे हैं वोह, उनको मनाऊ कैसे,
दर्द दिल का मै, उनको दिखाऊ कैसे/

उठ रहा है धुआं हर घर मै आज,
आग चूल्हे या घर मै लगी, मै बताउं कैसे/

लेकर मेहनत की कमाई लौटा वोह घर को,
सोचने बैठ गया इस को मै बचाऊ कैसे/

घर वोह लाया था जिसे अपनी दुल्हन बना कर,
सोचता है की उसमे, मै आग लगाऊं कैसे/

Amazon Mechanical Turk :: Earn Money Online

I opened my mail box today and saw a mail with the subject "Earn Money Online".All through these years; I have been on internet and have received many forwards and spam’s coaxing me to subscribe to some website where you can earn extra money online. I have subscribed to few of them and found them utter waste of time and effort. These website usually send you email which you have to read or some links on which you have to click and watch the page that opens up. Some websites want you to watch the advertisement and then click on it. While other would send you the survey forms which you have to fill and submit. So how much do you earn from these "Earn online" websites, they only give you $.001 (or lesser) for doing these tasks and their payment amount is at least $100. So one day I calculated and found out that if I continue to click on the links, keep watching the ads, I would be able to get $100 in around 3-4 years, which was highly disappointing.

Few days before, I came across the website "Amazon Mechanical Turk", which was also one of the earn online website. I found to be very useful and the one which would really pay up. On this website people post the jobs which are better done by humans and they put a price to it. You can choose to do the job and once your work gets approved you get paid for it. So you just have to complete simple tasks that you can do better than computers and, get paid for it. You can choose from thousands of tasks like voice transcripts, writing an article, and can control when you work, and decide how much you earn.

I have earned $1.71.Visit Amazon Mechanical Turk. For knowing what is Mechanical Turk? Click here  

Excerpts from my old school diary

Excerpts from my old school diary..........

Words are the dresses of thoughts, which should no more be presented in rags, tatters and dirt than your own person should.

We will miss your presence amongst us everyday and your absence is a void which can't be filled. Days and months roll into years, I will remember you with silent tears.

I will say through my eyes what words failed to express. When you see a smile on my face, think it as three magical words, 'I love you'.

My heart gains momentum and feels weightlessness whenever I see you. You are like a direct current, your charm is like an optical illusion, your two little eyes are like satellite and you like a comet have landed on my heart. Newton has said to every action there is equal and opposite action. So what do you say?

You're my life
       my love
       my salvation,
You're everything I need
Your love is precious to me
Hold me, don't let ever go.

You're the pearl of the sea,
You're the star of the sky,
You're a Xanthic flower,
You're my 'Duck Diamond',
whom I seek more than the GOD.

It's in my heart
Why don't you feel?
It's in my eyes
Why don't you see?
O! I have always confessed
Why don't you hear?
I think you know it all
But there is an unknown fear.
For I believe in what they say
"Love Needs No Words"

If A equal success, then formula is A equals X plus Y and Z, with X being work, Y play and Z keeping your mouth shut.

Disclaimer: Some of these may be copied from source which I might have liked at that time.

Thank God. I Am an Atheist

"A conversation took place between the leader and a scholar Jafar Sadiq and an avowed Atheist. Jafar asked the person "Have you ever travelled in the sea?" "Yes." "Have you experienced its terrors?" "Yes indeed!! One day while we were out at sea, a terrible hurricane blew up and smashed our ship. Several sailors perished. I clung to a raft of the ship but it was soon snatched away. I was thrown about in the stormy sea but eventually was tossed up on the shore." "When the storm broke," jafar commented,” Perhaps you first relied on the ship and the sailors for your safety and then on the raft which saved you for a while. But when all this went, did you resign yourself to death or did you still hope for safety?” “I hoped for safety. “On whom did you hope for safety?” The man was silent and jafar said: "The creator is the one on whom you placed your hopes at that time. And He is the one who delivered you from drowning.” After this conversation, the atheist was no longer an atheist."

Time and again I have thought about God and religion and the more I think about it, the mystery deepens up more. I have found out myself to be a "part atheist and part religious”. The atheist part of me has a story.

One day God was getting bored, he had nothing to do, no companion, no work and he was kinda bored to death. So he thought "Why not create something?” He created the Universe, the earth, water, nature, animals and everything beautiful. He was kinda amazed at his stunning creation. He applauded himself of his great powers and thought this would be a great time pass. The days passed, and he saw life on earth and every other thing in motion, it was fun in the beginning seeing all the things working according to his wishes. But the revolving earth, twinkling stars, sparkling water, lush green nature, living animals could not amuse him for long. So, he once again came back to his thinking table and this time thought of something interesting, something that could keep him busy, something that could make him so important that he would feel his worth everyday, every hour, every minute and every passing second.

He created HUMANS, and he created them in pairs, just like every other living being. He gave them FREEWILL and asked them to rule the Earth. Since then, every moment of his is engrossed in enjoying this big GAME. He sees them in happiness, he sees them in pain. They have been ambitious, lazy, defying the things that he created as impossible. They have been praying to him and making him feel great. They have been denying his existence. They have a large chunk of brain which gives them ideas and thoughts. To confuse their further unexplained life, he created different religions and created the concept of good and sin. They have been fighting, killing over religions and land. All the things that they enjoy have been classified into sin. All the good they do is for the fear of God or for enjoying the Heavens after death. The GAME has been going good and he knows that every single life that he created is screwed; they can only crave to achieve that state of Happiness but always be too far from it. Until the day they perish. 

The religious part of me believes in "LA ILAHA ILL ALLAH" (There is no god only Allah).I believe in One God. That there would be a last day of judgment and there would be life after death. I have been trying to live by the ways of Islam.

But the confused "Me" still continues...........

याद

कुछ पल जो गुजारे तेरे साथ ,

वोह मुझे याद हैं

 

तेरी महकती हुई खुशबु ,

वोह मुझे याद हैं

 

तेरी ज़ुल्फ़ों का बिखरना ,

वोह मुझे याद हैं

 

वोह तेरा खुद मे सिमटना,

वोह मुझे याद हैं 

 

दूर जा कर भी पास आ जाना ,

वोह मुझे याद हें

 

कुछ भी ना कह कर सब कुछ कह जाना ,

वोह मुझे याद हैं

 

पर अब तुम नहीं पास, बस तुम्हारी याद है,

हाँ बस यही याद है, बस वही याद है/ 

1971

Last Weekend, I watched the Movie '1971' starring Manoj Bajpai and others. This movie is about the plight of Indian army personnel’s who have been taken by Pakistan as Prisoners of War (POW) in the 1971 India-Pakistan War that led to the liberation of Bangladesh.

There was an interesting conversation in the movie:

Soldier 1: "Yeh pakistan mae punjabi rehte hain ?"
Soldier 2: "Haan rehte hain"

Soldier 1: "aur yeh sindi"
Soldier 2: "are haan woh bhi rehte hain"

Soldier 1: "aur sun na,.. yeh apne musalman bradar to hain hi na"
Soldier 2: (irritated) "haan to kya hua"

Soldier 1: "nahin yaar mae soch raha tha.. yeh sab to apnae hindustan mae bhi rehte hain"
Soldier 2: (shouts) "haan rehte hain to.."

Soldier 1: "Abe to phir pakistan banaya hi kyon tha.."
Soldier 2: (getting angry..) "Galti ho gayi........Agae se nahin banayenge"

Thought Provoking...!!!

Run Towards Your Fear.. / How to Stay Happy.

The last inspirational book that I read was "The Monk who sold his ferrari" which was so much disliked by me due to its unrealistic storyline, that i decided for reading no more inspirational books.

A day before, I cam through a new book "The Greatness Guide" by the same author "Robin Sharma" which was owned by my room partner. No matter how much i disliked the author, I could not dissaude myself from going through this book. The book has short chapters and in every single reading session I finish atleast 10 chapters of this book. Ok !! so this is not going to be a review of the 'Greatness Guide'. There is something that i came thorough in this book that i would like to write about.

In one of its chapters, it talks about "Fear". The book said that we all have fears and we need to overcome those fears and make ourselves better. It asked all to "Run Towards Your Fear". I kinda liked this term.

The other things that i came to know is the answer to "How to be Happy ?" . The books says that if you want to be Happy Do things that make you Happy, regulary.

(When I am not in a mood to write, i cannot go beyond a single sentence lolz ... )

Thoughts Over Coffee

The other day I was in one of the coffee shop "Coasta Coffee" with my friend and was killing time on a lazy eveing. 

I ordered two cold coffee and came back to the table with a bill in my hand. During my conversation with the acquaintance, my attention was drawn to the bill that was lying there on the table.I was reading the bill. The coffee costed me around 157 bucks. A thought came to my mind "This is the same amount i pay to my dhobi for washing my clothes for a month". I pay my washerman a sum for 150 Rs for washing my clothes for a month and here it is the same amount that i spend on sipping the cold coffee, which is i dont know is worth what? (With a pretty girl sitting infront of me......I was thinking of my dhobi.. Damn me..)

The other scenario that i have seen is people haggling with the rickshaw puller for a Rupee or Two.He quotes Rs. 10 and people say Rs. 5,then he agrees to take Rs.7 and they happily agree to sit. Does saving 3 rupees makes a difference? NO, it might not make a difference to them but for that poor man, it might make a difference.

Paonta Witch Project :- Part 1 and Part 2

When i was in Paonta..One day all of us (Pushpendra, Saurabh, Ajay and Me) decided to go to the Jungle adjoining the famous Shiv Mandir at Paonta. On our way there, we decided to make a mobile phone video of us and named it Paonta Witch Project(inspired from Blair Witch Project.....to know more about Blair Witch you can search Google).

This video was lying with me for long and then i came acroos youtube.com where you can upload the videos and share it with people. I thought it would be a good idea to upload it and waste some time of people who visit my blog. So here's the link to the video's of  Paonta Witch Project Part 1 and Part 2. Go Kill your time :)

Feedback Time :)

The website www.azamatali.com was given a new look last week. I worked on a templete to suit my contents and uploaded it. After working for few days (I am too bad at designing ) and dumping at least two templates, I was finally able to make something. Once the site was updated and converted to ASP.NET 2.0 framework, I thought of taking feedback from people whom i meet regulary on the internet.

The reactions varied from "What's this shit" to "You are genius". I thought it would make a good post for my blog, so i asked everybody how'z the website lookin and recorded their feeback(bricks/bouquet). I am listing here a few of those conversations. Identities have been hidden, honoring each person's privacy. So I am not expecting any "Why did u post my chat?" questions.

Just a good read. Go Ahead.. its going to be a long post.

Mummy Test

Writing has never come naturally to me. I have never thought myself to be a good writer,whenever I have to write something I have to struggle hard with myself, think harder and then I do get some words out of my mind. Writing has never been easy for me, the free flow of words don’t come out from me. But still i try to be force myself to write something. Sometimes I write my thoughts that are passing through my mind, I read it later and find that it is all crap and delete it. Sometimes when I read what I have written I wonder whether it is me who has written this. Anyways, natural born writer or not, I'll keep writing

Today I am going to write about a test, yes it’s an interesting test called “Mummy Test".  This test is going to be taken by all the would be mummies. If you don't pass the test, you would have to be daddy.lolz ;) Ok I was just kidding. I just read about this test years ago somewhere but then i remembered it few days back. I might have read it on the internet on some teenager site. It is for the time when you were not sure whether a particular deed that you are going to do is right or wrong. So it was suggested that you think that suppose you are doing it and your mummy watches you doing it. What would she think?? Would you be able to face her while doing that deed? If YES, then you can go ahead with that act but if NO then you know that it is wrong to do that particular thing. So this "Mummy Test" is for all the confused teenagers who find it difficult to know the difference between right and wrong.

Enough!!! I would never like to go through this Test. As I said before, it is for all the would be mummies...Lolz ;)

Bloggggggggs

Few days before when I used to blog on blogspot I came across this blog called 'Post Secret’. It is a relatively unknown blog but I found it too interesting. And many people have been visiting there, posting their secrets and knowing about the secrets others are having. You can visit it on PostSecrets.

 
Whenever I am getting bored, my favorite pastime has become blog reading. I visit the blogspot main page and there are scrolling blogs there. You can click on one of the links scrolling there and have a nice read.

I am going to write about the few blogs that I came across and I loved to read them. There is a blog of so called Google Doctor whose actual name is Dr. Razavi's. She writes about the various diseases which concern people and help them have a healthy living. Her blog can be visited at GoogleDoctor.

This is a blog with the terrorism news. It provides you with the news from around the world without any bias. It shows both the sides of the coin. One of the post titled “How would Jesus treat a 15 year old peace maker?” was particularly interesting to read. It was about a fifteen-year-old girl Ava Lowery who calls herself a peace activist. She made a short animation film on Iraq War and it is pretty touching. The animation movie can be watched at WWJD and the blog  can be read at Terrorism News.

I would write more about the blogs that I read. Keep reading.

Trip to Paonta Sahib

It has been long since I added an entry to my blog. I have been away to Paonta Sahib in Himachal  Pradesh on an Official Trip. We have our client's factory 'Malwa Cotton Spinning Mills' located there. So I was there for about a month or so, away from Delhi, from the crowd and all the population and the pollution.

About Paonta Sahib:

Surrounded by the Sal forest and on the bank of  river Yamuna the historic town of Paonta Sahib(398m) was founded by the tenth Sikh Guru Govind Singh Ji. When only sixteen years old, the guru left Anandpur Sahib and on the invitation of Raja Maidini Prakash of Sirmour, lived at this beautiful place for over four years. The historic gurudwara commemorates his stay and interestingly the waters of the Yamuna fall   silently below this -which happened at the Guru's behest. The word 'Paonta' means 'Space for a foot hold'. The only place that is the main attraction of Paonta Sahib is Gurudwara Paonta Sahib. It’s a small town and can be covered in half an hour.

Living in Paonta gets quite boring at times. You don't have any swanky malls and multiplexes to blow your money out or to just hang out. There is only one decent restaurant 'Mezbaan' where we used to eat out dinner sometimes. Life was quiet a bit boring and slow there. It’s good to go out there for few days and enjoy your holidays but staying there for a longer duration is a big no no.

 So I am back in Delhi now. Am going through my 'Professional ASP.NET 2.0' book and also thinking of starting a blog where I can write about the technical stuff like .NET and everything related to computers. Let's see when I am not that Lazy and make my mind and hands move. And I am also seriously thinking of add few things to my website (Although I have been thinking about this for long). My home page looks pretty boring and I am an owner of no content website. I am planning to format my computer install ASP.NET 2.0 in it and then make a new website and fill it with few contents. PLANS, my checklist on my blog... :)
