The KODAK Moments
“A Picture can say a thousand words”…
So this is my endeavour to sketch my life with 8*10 tasveers :-)
Chhonu kaka, the gol-matol always smiling whiz-kid. Well, I have always been so cute you see :P This pic was taken in Assam – my childhood abode :-)
Sonu’s birthday time – HAPPY BIRTHDAY to me :-)
I used to be everyone’s “Aakhon ka taara”! the smallest cute-pie is my sis, the other kid is Aseem (my school-friend in Jammu, who happens to be in ISB Hyderabad at present!). And the open-mouthed-almost-my-age sweet gal is my neighbor! As my mummy says, she used to wait for me near the banyan tree for long periods of time & I never used to meet her there (which sounds so unbelievable to me now). Ah those kiddish times…….
The GANG of DAV Public School Dehradun. This is actually a get-together pic. I moved on from Jammu, when I was in 7th standard. Then spent 3 years here, till 10th standard – when I faced the ghastly BOARD exams! J
And this is the KV-ONGC get-together. My 11th and 12th standard schooling here…
Thapar & I – my rendezvous with the then TIET Patiala, started in 2003……….
Hostel dayz – with 2 of my best buddies in Hostel-B (if I remember correctly). They are called ‘Sid’ & ‘SKR’!
(Rank – 5)
One of my all-time favourite pics: the titanic-pose with Sid. Behind you can see the grand lake of Thapar!
IIP, Dehradun training time… I was at ‘home sweet home’ then and so are my training friends here (in this pic).
The super-duper industrial trips that we had - The McLeod Ganj trip was the BEST one!!
The Chemcheez party!!!!!!!! “Mehfil mitran di” was a moment to savor – we all used to have a blast here…..
(Rank – 1)
The PERFECT photograph! This are the last college dayz……… we are besides the NESCAFE hut of Thapar…….. One of my dear friends gifted me this pic in a photo-frame, which is still shining in my room cupboard! Another reason for my distinct liking to this particular photo :-)
My Doon home – my abode for the last 7 years now! “The greatest journeys are the ones, which bring you back home”!! And I have always loved being here…………
The CONVO time! The last time I saw many of my college buddies…… Really miss you guys………….
(Rank – 3)
Its not really about the pic here. Buts its about the lovely soul which accompanies me here. Piyush alias Double was/is/and will always be a GREAT friend of mine!!
My first meeting with Gurgaon – the UOP interview. This is one of the most photo-genic pics of mine :-) Thanks Batta saab!
The ‘Evalueserve’ times had begun…… In Cyberpark, Gurgaon!
The rocking EVS parties!!!
(Rank-4)
The Lotus temple pic with Bhalla ji and Pat (my dearest buddy)!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to me again!! I really love 22 December guyzzzzzz!! All drenched with Cake in EVS office :-)
My short-stint with EVS Yoga classes, which culminated in my interview on ‘The Benefits of Yoga’ on NDTV!
The Jim Corbett Offsite. Loved it inside-out!!
The Eternal Sunshine of Nainital that was a part of the EVS Offiste!
(Rank –2)
Again its not really about the pic, but the hunks there :-)
House No. 20 and its inhabitants will always remain close to my heart.
Went to the ‘City of Nawabs’ – Hyderabad recently. A fantastic place!
I will be going there more often now, what with my dear sis going for an MBA there :-)
Talking about MBA – After 24+ years of my life, that’s exactly what I am going to pursue next………… The “million-dollar” question is: Where?
1. Mumbai (Juhu Beach here)
2.Gurgaon (Metro Mall here)
Lets see where my destiny takes me next……………….

In one-word "EMINENT"
After reading this I felt I do also have some supernatural thing in me that would take me decades back.I consider myself so destined that I used to be a part of your childhood.It remembered me of my memories with you.This is really close to 'me'.I do appreciate that now you have become a 'Hairsplitter' in describing yourself.
GOOD DAY
