Sittin alone under the shade of this giant tree
I realise this nature's pal is so free
To sway his arms with the chirpy music of birds
To spread happiness around it with its prosperity
"Oh giant Tree !" ,I cry louder ,"Please tell me ,
the secret of your joy and never ending beauty,
Why is it that u are standing hear for years
With no one to love u and no peers
Dont you need a shoulder to cry upon in pain?
Someone u share wit u the joy when it rains ?
I feel so lonely sometimes as now i am sittin with u,
There are so many around us , but to call my own so few.
How do i stand against this malicious trend
Where the worl is conspiring against me waitin for my end"
"Worry not dear child ",said he, "This is not how battles r won,
To live a life worth the struggle you need to go alone,
But never forget that something is with u forever ,
The gust of wind and the change of weather.
Go on you are not alone......"

My FSL Gang..
My office was full of all sorts of people with distinctive characteristic traits which had a influence on me in the last 2 years.They were a part of my experience in FSL. So here I go.
The characters are perfectly true people ..and no offences meant to anybody..
But to think of it , this is my space and I am free to write all that I felt..;)
The beginning of professional life was marked by a series of presentations in the office by the HR people , some technical sessions most of which went over the head, but none of us was ready to accept the fact.
We were 4 new people in our team, AB , DG me n SM.Had already interacted with AB during the induction so knew him but,had not much idea bout SM and DG.
AB is this complete freak, who goes mad when he is in a party.He claimed to have spent 30-40%of his time in my cubicle during my tenure there. A very genuine person, serious to the core when it comes to the technical discussions and also the philosophies of life, but chilled out otherwise .He troubled me a lot during the time I was there. specialy when I had the maximum work to do. So in a way I account my efficiency in hostile conditions to him..:).Here I am very keen to mention his inclination towards Bangalore for some reasons but me like a goodie friend would not make things difficult for him.He has been my closest pal in office . The perfect foodie and the north indianised version of a Kannadiga..AB continues to inspire , those under him now, he already has a few bhakts there..Good going AB,and I hope you don't forget your promises!!!
DG was so wonderful with his oneliners always.I gotta know of his humourous side quite late and missed a lot of fun on that , but he was always smiling in the most stressful situations ! A perfect mimic and fun and wit personified..I still remember the fits of laughter we had while playing the pictionary form of dumb charades(a game we developed then) in the tech symposium.We just went mad laughing!!I hope none of the presenters are reading this!The news of his marriage came as a pleasant surprise to all of us! He is also responsible for me working under distractions.But he was courteous enough to atleast ask..A major consumer of my stock of toffees, DG was always the one to get us the maximum extra work fom his weird ideas which we used to experiment on!!!
SM the perfect scientist, going in the details of the device was his catch!!and he was actually good at that.Mostly found staring at the Wikipedia..rather that Wikimapia..finding great pieces of art and sending it across to us.SM is a thinker , a philosopher and a mini library!!There was Don who had the weirdest collection of songs and he used to play them on and on never realizing that me in the adjacent cubicle , and others around used to hate that!I think he made some record or something playing kajrare.He never left a single chance of targeting us with his jokes.I don’t think he has missed any of us in that!He gave me my nick in office which I hated completely, it made no sense actually. Don to save you from the public hostility and your image I am not mentioning that here!!
VK was the perfect combination of wit n humour and serious humour .His superb comments on situations and especially the lyricized version of the situations was fun.I share this special laughter moment with him ,where both of us were almost into tears.A complete techno person , I remember how he longed for the best phones in the market and then buy them every now n then!He had a killing sense of innovation. Remember the Ohm’s law criterion for kal ho na ho!!(ref to our pictorial dumb charades).For others who don't know VK drew a simple circuit which he wanted us to interpret as Ohm's Law and then rhyme with Kal Ho Na Ho ..That was amazing!!Simply outstanding!!
PB was the most silent of them all. Her diligence was an example for all of us. She seldom indulged in any kind of cross cubical informal conversations that we had.She always had some work to do, be it exploring a new tool or experimenting , PB was the person.she was a storehouse of knowledge as well as a lot snack munching was sourced by her.She had all kinds of biscuits, low fat , creamy , cheesy , sweet all of them. She gets the well dressed award in my team. A genuinely helpful person , all of us thought second time before being naughty with her.VK and PB used to pick up arguments so often and it was fun to watch them argue!!
PA was the greatest of them all.With his fan following extending all over Freescale,India and even abroad , he was the favourite of everybody. TG came in later next year and he in AB’s follower completely, in times of making fun..especially making fun of me. He has been my technical adviser for all laptop related queries and my source of a lot of good movies n serials.He literally took the status report from me , about my progress on the stuff he gave me to watch!!
Our trip to Vaishno Devi was a memorable one.VNP was a discovery in he trip.He was the one to give me the maximum amount of respect .."NikitaJi"..With dreams in his eyes to make it really big VNP is a very sincere chap, not that others are not but with VNP was this silent dark horse toiling it hard till he got the solution.Or else he would call up n say “Sorry to disturb u Nikitaji..blah blah..”.I wish I could upload his description of the trip.Super it was!!!We all a great time.
MS joined in late.And brought with him some 3years of experience but he gelled with the team very soon.Sharing your first name with the manager makes things tricky at times.. I remember the time when MS had his son , n I had my nephew , we discussed the weirdest things related to the infants growing up.it was so much fun..
Who have I left..oh yeah AA..my dear Ani..My TT partner, scrabble partner.She reminded me of the time when I had joined in.The girl after my own heart! Ani has all traits to make it big.She was the one to rescue me from all the leg pulling coz once she arrived, she became the target!!TG and me had a good time teasing her.She will make it to the TT championship this year!Still miss the time I had with her. Once she started laughing it was difficult to make her stop.She would go on n on!! Endlessly!!
All of them were so delighted to hear my result, and each a different message to give..with lots of best wishes.I am so thankful to them for being my support system during the tough times!
The time I had with all these wonderful people has left an indelible mark on me! And I had so much to learn from each of ya!!!
Miss you guys...

The Characters of my life...
Me..forget it would get back to it later..
Mom..as all the worlds mom..she is just the best.she tries to pamper me so much ..now that I stay at home after 4 yrs of vanvaas in the patiala hostel..These days sh is proving herself to be the best cook in the world…And me the great connoisseur of food is giving her all the critical acclaim..love u mom..i know u will never read this…ur computer illiteracy is as hard a fact as my love for ur mithi pooris which u think to be a very “tuchhhi” thing to love…Anyways
She is my sole reference database for any kinda old songs and learned so many from her..something that a lot my frenz find weird!!Remembering old songs with atleast one paragraph ..(that’s the min..)
Dad:- Now the reasn why I mentioned him after mom is that I couldn’t think of things to write for him early..not that I don’t have enough to write for him..infact it’s the other way round…I have never seen a person free from all negative thoughts as him.I never saw him ask “what if this doesn’t work”..I salute his faith..n I inherit most my qualities of being a so called helpful person from him…(a lil bit of self praise is no harm at times esp when u have many people to certify it..)..And Dad has always been so encouraging..I love him all the more when he says ..that I am his son..I feel so accomplished that time…And not to forget ..me n Dad share something only between us!..the abbreviated language…when we gotta tease mom..or make a funny comment on any situation of person for that matter ..we use that..He has a strange habit of appending new surnames to people..which sounds so funny..and also sing so much.I have heard him sing the weirdest of songs I ever came across..oh he is just so good at making his own songs…a talent which I inherited gracefully from him.Luv u Dad ..u r the best..
Tinuji—my sis..
The world calls her Neha, mom dad call her Tina..For me..she is aaadi..(pronounced in hindi) , CC(cant xpand it here)..n very recently since she got married..she became tinuji for me..Never did I bestow that much respect on her..which she always fought for with me...but once she got married..i realized how important she was to me!!n I missed spending so many good times with her…due to my vanwaas..n then her marriage!!but still try n catch up to that as much as I can..She is the fun loving person..i always want to inherit some of her carefree nature..n the way she keeps contact with so many ppl is just so unbelievable for me..she know everythin bout the lives of all our cousins..we have some 25 of them think..roughly…whenever they meet me they keep cursing me for not talking to them n keeping contacts n stuff..so she is the favourite baccha of our family..everbody’s adorable child..
So thats my family..
Of course there are new and special additions to the characters!! Which I will keep on introducing wherever the need be!!!
