Goodbye 2009!!

Looking back at the year 2009, it has been a year for me which gave me more smiles than tears. Bidding goodbye to the year, I just take some time to revisit some of the important events in my life this year.   The year started with a bad note for the Indian Corporate Sector when Satyam's director Mr. Ramalinga Raju confessed window dressing the company's accounts and thus came as a huge shock to the most of the investors and the stock price...

Will We Be Safe in Our Country Again?

A year past the tragic incident, the question above still gets me into some thought. I had been seeing people protesting in groups after the attacks, lots of talks about the security problems in the country, not leaving out the deteriorating Indo-Pak relations. However, what still remains a prime question for most of us - Are we Safe in our Country Now or more primarily, Will We be Safe in our Country Again?   I have attempted to pen down...

A Tribute to Mumbai Attacks!!

While I was trying to have some rest this weekend after a hectic week, I saw the news of Bomb Blasts. The terror quotient has been high in India since a long time and I fail to recognise the reason why a country with more than a billion heads is failing to cope up with terror. These days specifically, the news channels had been giving news of life after 26/11. It was a day which shook the whole nation. Its already been a year since the incident but...

Children's Day Special!!

Hi All!!First of all, Happy Children's Day to All. We may not be termed as children in the outer world but there always stays a child inside our little heart. Never let that child die inside you.   I have tried to pen down a few lines on something I felt on today's Children's Day. I hope you would like the lines. Do comment about your views on the same. :)  Bachchon ke pyaare Chacha Nehru,Lal gulab shervani sang rkhte...

Yeh Dosti Hum Nahi Chhodenge!!

Hi All!! Its been quite a sunny week for me and the life enjoying each bit of it. The week passed by quite exciting for me, with simply no special reasons for it. This week again, I happened to see a couple of Hindi movies. First one was London Dreams, a movie which has great dreams in it. I quite liked the movie and personally, I loved the concept. Music was not the thing that inspired me to see the movie as I thought it to be quite loud comparable...

It's Birthday Time!!

Hi All!! While enjoying a nice fireworks show at Golden Temple on TV screen, I take an opportunity to wish you on the Prakash Gurpurab (Auspicious Day of the Birth of the Guru) of our first Guru, Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji. I have been enjoying this day resting at home as I have been fighting with the cold-causing virus/bacteria these days.And yeah, it was birthday time for me on 29th :-) I hadn't planned anything special for the day except celebrating...

Filmi Very Filmi!!

Hi Friends!! Still coping up with the busy and tiring schedule I am going through these days, I was sitting idle currently wiating for the office to be closed as I am done with my job, so I just thought to update my blog. Well, this post might be dedicated towards the Bollywood arena as in the past week, I happened to see four of the latest releases of Hindi Movies, and well, I would say atleast one of those surely disappointed me. 'Wake Up...

Why do Sikhs celebrate Diwali??

Why do Sikhs celebrate Diwali?Sikhs call Diwali as Bandi Chhor Divas. Mughal emperor Jahangir arrested the sixth Guru of Sikhs, Guru Hargobind Sahib, mistakenly. He was kept in Gwalior Fort.Later on realising his mistake, Jahangir repented and agreed to release Guru Sahib. The kind Guruji refused to leave the fort and demanded release of other 52 Hindu kings arrested by Jahangir,...

Be Positive!! That's What My Blood Says to Me!!

Oh, what a tiring week it had been. However, being an exception, the busyness could not be attributed towards my office schedule. Actually, my grandmother got operated last week as she fell outside Golden Temple. After 3-4 days, she got leave from hospital and now she is at our place and I have been helping out my mom to take care of her. So, while earlier office used to keep me busy, now after the busy days at the office are gone, I got...

A Tribute to Shaheed Bhagat Singh!!

Hi Friends!! Today is the birth anniversary of Shaheed Bhagat Singh, and on this occassion, I just thought to share a powerpoint presentation made by me about Shaheed Bhagat Singh, one of the real heroes on Indian Struggle of Independence. You can download the presentation file from http://www.4shared.com/file/135793193/5480e1f4/Shaheed_Bhagat_Singh.html. I think it is high time to spread the word as the real heroes of the country are getting forgotten...

Days Continue to be Busy!!

Hi Friends!! Just like my last post, I expect this post of mine too dedicated towards my office experiences as the office work is not leaving me enough time for getting involved in something else. I had thought of watching some new movie this Sunday but all my plans came to an end when I was told by my principal that we would have to work on Sunday as well. And while I was at home from office, I just thought to make the best of the rest of the...

Knowledge Enriching Experiences with Busy Days @ Office!!

Hi Friends!! How are you?? It has been once again a long time before I am back here to share my life with you. In the last few days, my days at the office have really been busy with some of the audits trying to test all my knowledge before the final accounts and the audit report gets finalised. I finished up two such audits today itself. So, it was a kind of victory day for me as well as our Indian Cricket team which won a One-Dayer against New...

An Evening with Punjabi Virsa!!

Hi Friends!!I hope you all have been fine. Being late in updating my blog is getting common but keeping my schedule in mind, I try my best to update it as and when possible. However, this time was an exception and my busy schedule was not a reason for non-updation of the blog for 3 weeks. It was more a majboori this time, as my PC was under repairs for around 2 weeks, and it got finally OK yesterday.Anyways, even though blogging after a long time,...

Busy Days are Over or Back Again??

Hi Friends!!Its again been a week or so since our last interaction. The days gone by were a kind of mixed experience for me altogether.First of all, what kept me busy in the last week was the returns rush in the office, July 31st being the last day for filing of returns for non-corporate & non-audit assessees. Preparing lot of returns in the office while getting lesser lunch break in between at the office turned out to be fun for us as we would...

Where's Monsoon?? Nothing Official About It!!

Hi Friends!!I have been writing most of my posts on a Sunday but this time, its a day earlier, a happy reason for it and a reason to cheer about. I am going on a small 2 day vacation to my Mamaji's house in Ludhiana. If you are thinking that a 2-day vacation is bit short, ya it is but I could not have afforded a longer holiday from office, nor could I have had a holiday later this month or in the months to come due to audits coming up till September....

Busy because of my daily schedule. 6 hours at office and a couple of hours in classes not including a couple of hours spent waiting for the classes to start though.I would still term the week as a relaxing one, the primary reason being it gave...

A Week That Wasn't ......

.hmmessage P { margin:0px; padding:0px } body.hmmessage { font-size: 10pt; font-family:Verdana } Hi All!!   Last week didn't go quite smoothly atleast for me, much largely due to some not so wanted things. The very first day of week and I was lying on the road due to my bike slip off, though the speed was slow and I escaped unhurt but such a starting to the week triggered off more of such events for me and particularly my body was...

The Burning Punjab!!

Hi All!!The above title to all may seem like a pure filmi dialogue but that's what we are witnessing in Punjab since Sunday.

Punjab Goes to Polls Tomorrow!!

Hi Friends!!How are you all? Sitting on the chair and penning down a post for my blog while I watch Fashion on TV and IPL match between Mumbai & Punjab seems to be a good combo. Though right now, match is not giving me any exciting moment as Punjab team has set a pretty low target, although the last time these teams met, target was the same and Punjab won in an exciting match. So, praying that Sachin does not score much thi stime and so do his...

Weekend Bonanza with Page 3, Jab We Met & Filmfare!!

A Sunday is a Sunday after all..  What does it mean for me? It means an off from the office, a day to just connect back to all my friends whom I haven't been able to while I'm busy with my other commitments and some time to just sit back & relax. I had a great Sunday today because I just relaxed the whole day. :D A free Sunday was what I had been really wanting for since past so many weeks.
