Its not everyday that you have the chance to see one of the seven wonders of this planet and when it comes to "Taj" the happiness is unspeakable. Last weekend, thanks to my friends and the taxi bhaiya....I have had a dream come true. Lemme explain...
The day was Saturday 9th of Feb, after finishing my 13 long hours of office time, I and Prafulla left for South-Ex;Delhi, to meet the rest of my friends who are coming down from Noida. We reached there and found them hiding inside a Tavera...no one ready to come out and face the cold. Anyways...we started our journey to Agra, Uttar Pradesh. On the way, we stopped at a dhaba for breakfast which included paranthas, chai, coffee, dahi, and a small photo-session. Mini was the self proclaimed focal point of the camera..hahaha...
We decided that we won't halt anywhere till we reach Agra . So ..as we planned, our car continuously drove for the next three hours and stopped at the parking area of the taj mahal. Then we booked a came cart(my first experience) from there to the taj entrance, booked the tickets and entered.
Now...everything is just wow... the Taj is an amazing stature whose beauty cannot be entirely discribed just by writing. We all enjoyed its beauty, took a lot of individual and group pics...one with a foreigner lady too, saw the grave of Mumtaj and Shahjahan. Shoes are not allowed for indians there...for foreigners; a show cover is provided. We spent around 3 hrs there and returned coz we had some more places to visit.
Then we headed for Vrindavan, the holy place where lord Krishna was born and spent his childhood. This place has lots of hindu temples but all somewhat different. We visited two temples there, an ISKON temple...which is actually and to my surprize..is managed by foreigners.Thereafter we visited Banke Bihari temple. after this we has snacks and returned back to our taxi..Now...the trip is over and we returned. It was already late and i thought of spending the night at Noida.
I woke up late the next day and went to vishal's place. Then........manish and Sudheep left in search of pork meat and after 3 hrs they returned completing their mission. there was one more surprize item they brought...which is.....brain of mutton. Now, this sound weird...but as people sell it..we thought of trying it. Sudheep and Prafulla prepared a nice omlette out of it and guess what...it was tasty.
we spent that day in Noida only as I and Prafulla were really tired.

New Year 2008
Well..this new year was a special one because I celebrated in three different states, 30th in Utar Pradesh(Noida), 31st in Delhi and 1st in Haryana(Gurgaon). Lemme explain,
29th was Saturday...my younger brother's birthday, and so, that day was fixed for him. Cancelling everything I headed for delhi, to his place. With him and one of his close friend we three had a nice dinner at a restaurent. No bash and no champagne, slept on time.
30th, Sunday....before i was out of bed, a call came from Vishal and he urged me to come to his place for a new year celebration....now this really put me in trouble coz I had a different plan. It was scheduled that on 30th I would be reaching pallab's place and the next two days have a big party. But Vishal was in no mood to listen and so, I had no option but to plan a day at noida. I left my bro at 2 pm after lunch (kudos to Rituplavan for he prepared very well) and without wasting time anywhere headed for Noida. Reached his place at 7 pm and found out that surprises awaited my arrival.
I met his brother for the first time. He has an impressive personality. I was yet to catch my breadth and he called us for a starter(!!!).....three nips of three different alchoholic beverages(?)...vodka, whiskey and beer....gosh, i realized that i'l be out soon today. Manish, Mini and Richa came and the party got its rhythm. We finished early as the girls were getting late.
No hangovers....I was surprised. So, wishing happy new year to vish, I left his home and had a breakfast with Manish, Richa and Mini at a South Indian Restro.....Dosa....what else. Now, delhi was waiting for me...so I hurried and richa and me left them at noida.
The last day of 2007, so it had to be special. I bought a cake from Hauz Khas market. KK was in full swing...already drunk and in high spirit. The house was decorated with ballons and colorful ribbons. At night Soumar reached, and many others also. The party was fantastic, everyone enjoyed to its fullest. Soumar brought Prafull's Digicam, thanks to Prafulla....we could capture some great moments of celebration. We slept late after Dinner....ohh..almost forgot to tell you, Pallab prepared chicken butter masala and mutton roghan josh and they tasted far better than any hotel.
Next morning Soumar took me wid him to Cannaught Place, his neighbour Uncles have come to visit delhi. We met them and had a good time. We returned at 4 pm and reached Gurgaon at aound 5:30pm. I took some rest before office. Prafulla thought of bunking but I wanted to start this year with an attendence and so thought of spending the first night of 2008 at my office.

my first day..sorry....night at my desk...
Yesterday was 26th june,my duty starts from 9pm to 5:30 am. I reached my office at 8:20pm, signed the attence register(the HR explained me the other day that its the most important thing.....gulp). So first thing important done successfully....i am 40 mins before time.....punctuality ki bhi hadh ho gayee. I was asked to report to a my team leader who i heard comes generally late(one day i'll be a boss also...i just thought to myself). Ohhh..i almost forgot to tell ya....i came with Prafulla...the guy is also in my deptt and is one month senior to me now...still i can call him ass-hole(himmatwala junior). He has his desk assigned. I just informed the HR and got from him my office ids and passwords. I asked Prafulla to verify these and wow...they work. Its confirmed that I am from this company now.
The night started....office was full with around 30 people from various specialized areas. When they came they greeted each other, some shook hands with me also(!!!). My other team members also came, the are good people..i mean good yaar..but no trace of the team leader.the clock didn't stop.....9:30pm-10,11:3, time for dinner.People who bought food with themselves were lucky.....coz i and my team members went outside near the IBM call center to have paranthas.....5 rs each....smoked a couple of ciggerates and returned. They said he was about to reach...my team leader..he is supposed to assign me a system to work.
its now 4:59 am...my duty hours over almost. i have a system and an account( given by some other person)...i did nothin today.....surfed internet..watched videos on youtube and observed everyone.Its funny..two emplyees from .net chamber are sleeping peacefully..i'll give them the good news that its 5am now...
so bye for now....
