B-10 Friends Forever...!!!!

-->

-->

I thought of starting my blog with a brief writeup of my close friends. Let me try to make it as short as possible, which I guess is a very tough task, considering the number of friends i have around me :) But, I cannot forget time I spent with my B-10 friends for more than 2 years. So, I dedicate this post to my B-10 Members with whom lots of memories are embossed in my heart.

First of all, let me clear you what does "B-10" means ? This is name of apartment block number where we all stayed during our job. As you all know after staying away from parents for pursuing higher studies and getting job in well-known companies, I consider friends and colleagues as second family. For more than 2 years we all worked in same company and went altogether for small trips. We made a practice of always sharing and helping out individual in his crucial time.

Let me introduce now my B-10 Members. Initially, we were 4 members who belong to different caste, culture and geographical locations. But yes, we belonged to same mother -- "Mother India" whom we respect and adore alot. Ankit Gopani, Jay Panchal, Nirav Shah and myself were four individuals who spent together more than 2 years in B-10 and also working for the same company.

Now, comes the interesting section of this post. Let me give some brief introduction of all these persons.

-->
-->

Ankit Gopani ("Badhana Dilo par raj kare").....

We all call him "Gops".... Ankit is a cool guy, very energetic and dedicated to work. The most important or plus point we all liked about him was to make friends and continue relations forever. His helping & supporting nature was liked by everyone. Ankit is very closely attached to his family members and very Godly person. At room, he took up the initiative for setting up kitchen which resulted in cutting down our monthly expense and provding home food. He has good management skills and also expert in market analysis and making financial strategies. Currently, he is working for leading semiconductor service provding company and pursing his long term professional goal. Ankit, wishing you very best for future endeavors.

Jay (" Paji cum "Jay Paji")...

We call him "Paji.. or "Jay Paji"... what to say about this guy.. He is a genius person. The one word we never heard from him was "NO". He was always ready to help us whether it is technical, personal or anyother work. He is a dedicated, intelligent and trust-worthy person. His attitude was always positive in doing work, which we all liked the most. At room, he always used to take care of cleanliness and make sure things are well-placed. Currently, he is pursuing masters in USA. And we all are very confident that he will be in one of the top MNC in nearby future. Wishing you best of luck "Paji.." Chak de patthe... jay matadi... Lets' Rock :)))

Nirav ("Dedu....")

Nirav, we used to call him "dedu"... He is a person dedicated towards his work and bring the end result once he takes any work in hand.. He was very frank enough to express his views and take initiative...also a candidate who works as an active member in team. His initiative to buit a web-site for helping out poor children to get education and giving then guidance is an outstanding job for which I as an individual feel very proud of.. And how can I forget Dance I used to do with him at room as a partner :))) Currently, nirav is also pursing his Master along with jay in US. Wishing you a very bright future ahead.

Sunil (Sunko...)

We and especially his college friends call him "Sunko". Sunil is basically from Rajkot. He was in my college.

So we used to know each other right from college days. But we became close friends, when Sunil too cleared interview in the same company that I did,

just the previous year. And within a month, he became out new room-mate. Sunil is very energetic, bold and fun loving person.

He can do anything for friends....but can even expect anything too ;) ... just kidding... But he is really very cool guy.

His hospitality is worth praising, which we were able to feel when we all (room-mates) were on Junagadh trip.

Currently, he is working for leading semiconductor service providing company and pursing his long term professional goal. Sunil, wishing you very best for future endeavors.

Zakirbhai (Zak..The Legend)

Zak - The Legend, that what you can see, if you visit Zakirbhai's orkut profile. Actually, I met Zakirbhai for the first time, through my room-mate Ankit Gopani.

Soon after joining the company in Ahmedabad, we were searching room and one room-mate. And meanwhile, even Zakirbhai was searching for the same.

So from there, our journey started. Zakirbhai is the eldest person in our B-10 family, but the energy and dedication that he have towards work is simply amazing.

Zakirbhai's manages time very well between family, friends and work. A very shy person, but once he accepts you as a friend, can talk for hours.

At room, he was always ready to guide us, whenever we were in dilemma. Last but not the list, Zakirbhai has power to shape thoughts into reality.

He vowed to decrease weight from 85 kg to 70 kg in 6 months and he not only achieved that within 4 months,

but he still takes care of diet to maintain the weight. During last 3 years, Zakirbhai was able to make progress in his professional life,

to such an extent that we could not even imagine. Zakirbhai family member: Tasneem didi (Wife), Jamila (Daughter).

Just last month, Zakirbhai and Tasneem didi were gifted by almighty with a cute baby boy - Murtaza.

We pray to the almighty to give all the happiness and fun of life, to Zakirbhai and family. Wishing him all the best for his professional career.

Priyang

Priyang is the youngest person in our room. He is Ankit's cousin brother. We met him for the first time, when Ankit invited him to our room for the dinner.

Soon after that he became our room-mate. He likes to drive bike as if driving in a racing track, eat lot of junk food, wear fashionable attires,

go for outing with family and friends; and finally spend lot of money for friends. He is very well mannered person,

who is always ready to help his friends and even to the unknown people, especially old people (and girls too ;) ).

He is a firm believer in God and goes to palitana every full moon day. He did his MBA from a college in Ahmedabad and has just passed the examination.

He wants to be a great business-man. We all believe, he would be ....one day.

He just needs to be more patient and persistent in what ever he do .... Chak de phatte... Priyang... All the best for great life ahead.....

Anyways, thanks doesn't say or bring out much, i would still say thanks to all my B-10 members for being so close and amazzzzzing friend of mine... I'm desperately looking forward to be with you all in nearby future.... I leave blog now open for you all to write about me... But thoda acha likhna ... ;)))))

SUCCESS IS A RESULT OF

TEAM WORK

& NOT REMAINING IN

ISOLATION

Presenting a beautiful story on TEAM SPIRIT.

There was a farmer who grew superior quality and award-winning corn. Each year he entered his corn in the state fair where it won honour and prizes.

One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learnt something interesting about how he grew it. The reporter discovered that the farmer shared his seed corn with his neighbours'.

"How can you afford to share your best seed corn with your neighbours when they are entering corn in competition with yours each year?" the reporter asked.

"Why sir, "said the farmer, "didn't you know? The wind picks up pollen from the ripening corn and swirls it from field to field. If my neighbours grow inferior, sub-standard and poor quality corn, cross-pollination will steadily degrade the quality of my corn.

If I am to grow good corn, I must help my neighbours grow good corn."

The farmer gave a superb insight into the connectedness of life. His corn cannot improve unless his neighbour's corn also improves. So it is in the other dimensions! Those who choose to be at harmony must help their neighbours and colleagues to be at peace. Those who choose to live well must help others to live well. The value of a life is measured by the lives it touches.

SUCCESS DOES NOT HAPPEN IN ISOLATION. IT IS VERY OFTEN A PARTICIPATIVE AND COLLECTIVE PROCESS.

So share the good practices, ideas, new learning's with your family, team members, neighbours. All the Successes is a Team Work of a family, group, enterprise, corporation... Infect TEAM as an acronym of letters T, E , A, M

T Together

Sharing some important points after reading "The Secret" Book

Friends,

I'm sharing with you few points that I have noted after reading "The Secret" Book. If we all start following this secret, i believe our life will be full of joy and happiness.

• "Like attracts Like". Our job as humans is to hold on thoughts of what we want. Make it absolutely clear in our mind what we want, and from that we can start to invoke one of the greatest laws in the universe, and that's the law of attraction.
• Most powerful law : Thoughts become things. So, always attract the Good instead of the Bad.
  
• Decide right now that you are going to think only good thoughts. At the same time, proclaim to the Universe that all your good thoughts are powerful, and any negative thoughts are weak.
• One way to master your mind is to learn to quiet your mind. Just 3-10 minutes, a days meditation to begin with, can be incredibly powerful for gaining control over your thoughts.
• Your thoughts and your feelings create your life. It will be always that way.
• When you're feeling down, did you know that you can change it in an instant ? Pull on a beautiful piece of music, or start singing - that will change your emotion. Have a secret shifter list that will change your emotion when you're feeling bad for eg : beautiful memories, favorite music, nature, a person you love the most....
• There is truth deep inside you : "You deserve all good things life has to offer".
• You can start with nothing, and out of nothing and out of no way, a way will be made.
• All that we are is a result of what we have thought.
• Decide what you want. Believe you can have it. Believe you deserve it and believe it's possible for you. And then close your eyes everyday for several minutes, and visualize having what you already want, feeling the feelings of already having it. Come out of that and focus on what you're grateful for already, and really enjoy it.
  
• Treat yourself with love and respect, and you will attract people who show you love and respect.
• Think thoughts of perfection.
• "Man becomes what he thinks about.." Said by Morris Goodman (The miracle man)
• All power is from within and therefore under our control.
• You are the designer of your destiny. You are the author. You write the story. The pen is in your hand, and the outcome is whatever you choose.
• The more you use the power within you, the more power you will draw through you.....

May this secret bring you love and Joy for your entire existence......!!!!!!!

Certain things I have learnt in Life.

Friends,
I have learnt certain things in my life ...

• My life is with me and not with ANYONE else....
• I have to face my life...
• I should have self-control...
• I should not loose my self-esteem at any cost...
• I am not inferior to anyone...

and most important.......

I SHOULD BE MYSELF......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Feeling of missing someone you love............

Is it when you always be by the side of the person or is it when you keep talking to that person or sitting near that person and holding that persons hand. No, I don't think so you realize it very much. You come to know how much you love/miss a person and how much that person loves you, only when, even if you are physically thousand of miles apart, you stay close to each other by heart. Thats what is true love. You really really miss that person, you feel as though you are all alone, lost completely out of the world.

You keeping thinking of that person each and every second, whatever you do, wherever you go. You keep talking to that person monotonously, not over the phone or internet, but through your inner heart; the heart which shares love and affection. You keep murmuring that persons name within yourself throughout the day/night. You keep waiting to call that person and talk for even a few seconds and those few seconds feel like long hours talk. You keep expecting a mail from that person, first thing early in the morning and even a single "Hi" from that person makes your day at work happy and fresh. You keep watching time and waiting for that person to come online however late it is for you in the night, and chat for a few minutes happily. Always you keep praying Almighty God for that person's well-being and ensure that person is safe, happy.

You keep staring at the latest photo that person sent you for a longgg time, without even realizing that its late for you to goto bed. You keep saying to people near you that you want to go back as soon as possible. You desperately want to see and hug that person and spent much time with him/her. You tend to shed a few tears when you are alone and keep thinking of that person. You keep looking for things to get for that person when you go back home. In fact the toughest of all is, though you got all facilities like reaching through mail, phone or meeting in person is possible, you tend to avoid just thinking he/she would be busy. That would accumulate a lot of pain in the heart.. In spite of having work, you tend to spare time to compose a nice mail to that person, expecting that person to enjoy reading the contents and give a cute and sweet smile .hhmmm.....
Now you realize how much you are crazy and how much you truly madly and deeply love that person....!!!
