A Step-by-Step Guide to Completing Homework (at the hostel)

1. Sit in a straight, comfortable chair in a well-lighted place with plenty of freshly sharpened pencils.
2. Read over the assignment carefully, to make certain you understand it.
3. Walk down to the vending machines and buy some coffee to help you concentrate.
4. Stop off at another floor, on the way back and visit with your friend from class. If your friend hasn’t started the paper yet either, you can both walk to the nearby cafe and buy a hamburger to help you concentrate. If your friend shows you his paper, typed, double-spaced, and bound in one of those irritating see-through plastic folders, drop him.
5. When you get back to your room, sit in a straight, comfortable chair in a clean, well-lighted place with plenty of freshly sharpened pencils.
6. Read over the assignment again to make absolutely certain you understand it.
7. You know, you haven’t written to that kid you met at camp since fourth grade. You’d better write that letter now and get it out of the way so you can concentrate.
8. Go look at your teeth in the bathroom mirror.
9. Listen to one side of your favourite tape and that’s it– I mean it! As soon as it’s over you are going to start that paper.
10. Listen to the other side.
11. Rearrange all of your CDs into alphabetical order.
12. Phone your friend on the other floor and ask if he’s started writing yet. Exchange derogatory remarks about your teacher, the course, the university, and the world at large.
13. Sit in a straight, comfortable chair in a clean, well-lighted place with plenty of freshly sharpened pencils.
14. Read over the assignment again; roll the words across your tongue; savour its special flavour.
15. Check the newspaper listings to make sure you aren’t missing something truly worthwhile on TV. NOTE: When you have a paper due in less than 12 hours, anything on TV from ‘Rahul Dulhaniyan Le Jayenge’ to every Zee or Sony soap is truly worthwhile.
16. Phone your friend on the third floor to see if he was watching. Discuss the finer points of the plot.
17. Go look at your tongue in the bathroom mirror.
18. Look through your roommate’s book of pictures from home. Ask who everyone is.
19. Sit down and do some serious thinking about your plans for the future.
20. Open your door and check to see if there are any mysterious, trench-coated strangers lurking in the hall.
21. Sit in a straight, comfortable chair in a clean, well-lighted place with plenty of freshly sharpened pencils.
22. Read over the assignment one more time, just for the heck of it.
23. Scoot your chair across the room to the window and watch the sunrise.
24. Lie face down on the floor and scream at the top of your lungs.
25. Leap up and write the paper.
26. Type the paper.
27. Complain to everyone that you didn’t get any sleep because you had to write the paper.

Let me explain you what is special about it.

One day I heard about the name Linkedin and I heard it helps finding old friends, old colleagues and also help you to build up your professional network. It was what I knew all about Linkedin. Then one day on free lazy moments I started browsing Linkedin. I joined Linkedin with simple most registration process and then started searching my old friends and old colleague. I continued for long but was unable to find any of my friends and I left. But I crawled profiles of few unknown people and which left me with unknown curiosity.

Sooner or later I came back and started crawling Linkedin with more inquisitiveness.

Initially it was bit confusing and I was unable to understand that what exactly I was supposed to do. Only one think driven me madly to fill up my profile details was a green progress bar. More I was completing my profile the green progress bar was getting filled up with more percentage. And then slowly as I continued providing all my school/college information and professional details and got my profile updated till date it started showing me 100% profile completion message. Once I completed my profile details it was time for searching for my friends and ex-colleagues. I imported my email address book; I found few of my old friends whose id was eventually there on my address book were also registered in LinkedIn. You must be thinking that if old friends mail ids were there in your address book, so why did not you try to connect them? YEA, good question indeed. May be I tried but there was no response or might be they had tried and they didn’t receive any response from my side. We all know this reluctance kills every relationship.

Anyway I imported my address book and sent them invitations. Magically all of them accepted my invitations and they replied to my mails on the very next day. I had also found that they are all well placed. Adding them in my network left me with pride.

I felt that why not showcasing my profile through Linkedin. I optimized my profile with more details and at the same time continue growing my networks through my mail contacts.

It was the first attempt how I learnt about Linkedin. But just after few days I started receiving invitations from others, who are willing to add themselves in my network. Oh, it was having a cumulative affect. Do you know how? Linkedin is having a feature called “People you may know”. Suddenly I found a name there. It resembles one of my close relative’s name with whom I lost connections since last two and half years and I had very less ideas about his whereabouts. I checked the complete profile and was confirmed that yes it was he, whom I knew very well. I was happy seeing him there. Now we have ideas that what we are and where we are. My dear it’s not end here.

As time passes I received recommendation from few of my ex-colleagues and also added them in my network. Then one day going back home I met my ex-boss. I thanked him on that day being making me webby and helping me knowing Google, Yahoo from different aspects. Later on he accepted my Linkedin invitations and recommended me with his overwhelming words. Now my profile is worth showcasing.

Till here story was good to share, but now there are more to reveal.

One fine morning when I was checking my mails I found somebody sent me networking invitation. I checked the profile and added, then after I received a mail asking me to give a call to the given number or else to provide my number. As usual no exception I was curious and made the call from a public phone booth. The person on the other side informed me regarding a position, which was available in a reputed company. Though the position was based on Mumbai but I appeared for the impromptu telephonic interview. Booth owner was happy but the customers on the queue were not at all happy. No matter whether I joined there or not but I was impressed with the LinkedIn success of “Over 30 million professionals use LinkedIn to exchange information, ideas and opportunities”.

Guys believe my words I got three other offers only from Linkedin. Don’t you feel this information is worth sharing?

Anyway I invite you all to join my professional network in

I am living my life……..

I was memorizing the events of 2007 that occurred in my life in the last few months. It is nice to remember all the nice and sweet part of your life but it is painful to remember all the grievances, losses and disputes.

I was thinking if we can start a new life from 2008 onwards. If we can expect a better world than ever before. I may sounds heavy, but I really mean it.

Anyway here in my office scenario is completely different. Everybody is in their best spirit and in a very jolly mood. All are in a mood to have fun. We have converted these energetic moods in colorful competition to make it a memorable day for all of us. We have arranged a competition among cubicles. We will decorate our own cubicles and the best one will be the winner. We are now busy with colorful balloons and ribbons. Everybody is trying their best. Every cubicle is trying something different than others. Yes we have used three silver and blue colored Chinese lanterns. Those simply changed the looks of our cubicle. We have more to disclose among others. We will decorate our cubicle with chocolates. Anybody can pick up as much as they want and simply enjoy. How’s the idea.

I hope you guys are also enjoying in your own style. What’s your New Year party plan?

Anyway guys enjoy. See you on next year. Till then

I wish you all a very happy and prosperous New Year.

Hmm…yummy…

If I got down on my knees and I pleaded with you,
If I crossed a million oceans just to be with you,
Would you ever let me down?

If I climbed the highest mountain just to hold you tight,
If I said that I would love you every single night,
Would you ever let me down?

Well, I’m sorry if it sounds kinds sad,
It’s just that I’m worried,
So worried that you’ll let me down.

Because I love you,
Love you,
Love you, so don’t let me down.

If I swam the longest river just to call your name,
If I said the way I feel for you would never change,
Would you ever fool around?

Well, I’m sorry if it sounds kinds bad,
Just that I’m worried,
‘Cos I’m so worried that you’ll let me down.

Because I Love you, love you.

Well I’m sorry if it sounds kinds bad,
Just that I’m worried,
‘Cos I’m so worried that you’ll let me down.

Because I love you, love you
Oooooh, I love you,
Love you,
Love you.

BECAUSE I LOVE YOU (Gordon Campbell) Shakin’ Stevens

I am spending time with me…

Ok, to keep you updated, let me inform you that few events had took places in my life.

Before that with the continuation of the last post, I must inform that my mom, she didn’t come to my house on 25^th December 2006 and I didn’t had “garam garam kachori and jallebi” and we didn’t had a journey towards divine. Yea she didn’t come. MOM I missed you lot. Every day and night I missed you. (Only reason I found for not blogging, moment I came to my blog I saw the last post and left my blog unwritten.) I know you were stuck with all the other responsibilities and I was a silent watcher. Even we had very little conversations on those days. Well these are past stories. Because she came to my house on 21^st June 2007. Ohh… after a long gap. Yea after ten months. Guys these time I had “garam garam kachori and jallebi”, I had bed tea. Things, which I have always craved for. Oh! Yea… My mom, she is the most sweetest, cutest and beautiful woman in this universe I have ever seen.

I know, I know I am emotional today. Is it wrong?

Well guys I will not take much of your time. I am writing because I am happy.

Regarding all the events, we (me and my husband) shifted to our own comfy and cozy flat. I have little new furniture for my new flat, recently my elder brother and my sister-in-law gifted me a beautiful niece.

Well, now its time to say bye. See you on my next post.

I havn’t yet tagged by anyone but I love to tag the following which help me lot in my learning and for constant upgrading.

1. Love driving with high speed. Love speed in life. Without speed I am dead. Though it’s not healthy all time.
2. Love reading story books (Do not get much time now-a-days)
3. My favorite quote: “If there is will there is way”
4. Interior Designing: Touch of beauty in day-to-day life makes life more desirable, more beautiful, precious and lovable. Don’t you feel that a light pink color curtain has lot to do in your life?
5. Short tempered: I really want to improve myself. I don’t know how to control my anger.

…….. And there are many more.
