A NIGHT I CAN NEVER FORGET

Its Saturday Evening, and as they say, "LET THE PARTY BEGIN". Myself and Amit thought of doing something similar tonight. 

But, it was all, a different night... Last 30 mins, was the most terrifying and unforgettable moments !!!
.
After a long rally of Badminton back from office, we thought for a night out to shoot some serene Nightscapes. Travelling away from my apartment in search for a subject to shoot, I was shocked with something that happened...
Two motor cyclist were badly hit by a truck, which fled away asap. The accident took place just about a minute before we reached the spot. Out of the two, one died on spot. The brain went out of his head(later, we found the brain around 5 meters away from his head).
The second person was very very badly injured, but was still alive. We stopped, and In the middle of now where, we thought of helping them. Joined by one more person, we started to control the traffic and tried to make sure that the other fast running trucks don't roll them again. Called 100, 108 and control room of RGP Police Station, but in vain. They didn't pick our call. I then thought of informing my organization's security in charge. In the midst of this we heard some kind of noise from the 2nd man. The sound of pain was horrible and unbearable. After about 10 mins, police reached the spot. In the meanwhile we informed our plant ambulance and it reached. We rushed and stretched the alive person into the Ambulance.

HOPING and PRAYING for that man.
JAGANNATH ji, its your day,please help him.
I'm shattered and having sheer goosebumps right now typing each character.
Please pray for him. Hope he survives & gets out of danger. 

And It Happened AGAIN !!!

The wounds started to fill slowly as I tried to face every single day without you. Life was very uneasy then. My body used to get nervous just with the thought of living alone. Slowly I gave up and tried hard to move on. I tried to concentrate more to my work; Photography helped me a lot to relax. I spent most of my time alone, with nature. Why are you not their with me? Was it my fault to let you go?

Among all these moral struggles, my mind guided me to finally move on. It was a slow process. Finally, I was leading my life without think about you, because I couldn't resist losing you. Everything started to be casual, but WHY IT HAPPENED AGAIN???

After a hectic day at office, in the shady light, I saw you in front of me. I rubbed my eyes and pinched my self.
Was I in my Dreams???
No, I wasn't. It was unbelievable.
The Eyes so similar, the face so equal.
And the next moment you crossed me without even noticing me!!!! :'(
I started to follow you, and you reacted as if you saw me for the first time.
How can you forget me???
Blood started to sprint inside me. I wasn't so nervous ever. In the midst of my thoughts, I came back to notice that you have already vanished. That night was horrible. My heart urged to hug u. My mind lost its way. I was just waiting to meet you next morning. Anxiously, I was tracking time. It was ages before morning. Prayed God for some magic so that the night passes quickly.

Finally, it was morning. But alas, It wasn't you. How can anyone be so similar to you? I heard her voice for the first time, and had goose-bumps on my body. I couldn't agree that it wasn't you; was in complete dilemma.

Looked to the sky and prayed "GOD, not again".
It felt as if my life again resumed from the place where we parted that day. I'm stuck in the wildest maze, impossible to get out of it.
The only key from getting out is to meet you.
I can't stay away from you, how hard I try. Please take away my pains !!!!! :'(

Virtual Friends: MOBILE PHONES

The other day I saw four teens chatting together. They were seated at a table in a crowded Cafe and were deep in conversation. From the expressions on their faces and Intensity of their tones, one could tell that they were talking about something serious, something they felt deeply about.

     Was it Corruption in public life? Was it crimes against women? Was it about the 2014 elections? Whatever it was, there was something curious about their conversation. And the curious thing was that though the four of them were sitting together at the same table, they were conversing not with each other but to their phones, or sending text messages, or generally fiddling with their mobile phones playing games.

     If people want to talk not to the people they are with, but to talk on their phones to people who aren't there, why are the with the 1st lot of people? Now a days taking to or texting to someone in your cellphone is no fun unless there are at least three or four people around you to witness the act. This is the reason why Parties are becoming so popular these days. What is a Party? A Party is a place where people get together to talk not to each other but to talk on their phones to people who are not present in the party and thereby let all the people who are present know what a VIP(Very Important Phoner) you are.

    The day I guess is not far when you suddenly realize that, you can't think of one single person in the whole world whom at this particular moment you have a need or desire to phone or text for any reason....

Missing you...

Hours pass by...
Days pass by...
Years pass by...
...But emotions of some very special people never get away from you.

              It has been more than a year now, and all of a sudden, my mind forced me to remember her. I felt restless. Felt like choking. I tried to recollect those memories. I searched every folder in my laptop, searched every baggage that I had, but couldn't find anything. The air was poisoned and my lungs started to feel the pain as I inhaled those unhealthy air. All the time I tried to console myself that I can recollect her memories present in my mind and heart. I freed myself in my soft bed, which all of a sudden felt like hell. I started thinking the first time I met her.

Her voice echoed in my ears, as if she was standing right beside me. Trust me, those were the sooth-est voice I've ever heard. Suddenly, my heart urged me to call her and hear her voice, but I had no contact since long...

I started hitting my head against a wall for deleting her number and all her text messages from my phone. 

Just a few moments ago, it was a chill Sunday morning, but now.... I felt as if someone has buried me deep into the soil till my neck. I could see and feel the pain, but could do nothing.

All of a sudden, I remembered that I took a snapshot of a piece of paper on my mobile phone, which contained her name and number. Yes.... The memories of that great day is still very very clear. I opened the paper and took a pic just as usual before going to meet her for the first time. I never knew that this snapshot will make me so happy someday.

Wasting no time, I picked my phone and started searching each photo in it. And finally I got it... My hands shivered as dialed her number. I could hear the buzz through my phone. But she didn't pick my call.  I tried twice, but in vain.

I was again in the same terrifying state of mind. Tried to console my heart, which was way out of control. I tried to sleep, but couldn't.

Its been 9 hours since morning. I'm still at my bed...

Emotionless...

Speechless...

I'm sharing this with all of you hoping that someday she might read this blog, and call me.

I promise you dear, I wont disturb you. Will silently listen to your soothing voice once more :(

A Very Unusual Nightmare!!!

                  I was in deep dreams. All of a sudden something loud woke me up. I rubbed my eyes and picked my mobile placed beside my pillow to check the time. It was about 6 in the morning. Looking at the window I noticed a bit of sun rays entering the room. Being sleepy, I thought of resting a bit more. In a fraction of second I was shattered with a huge sound just like a bomb blasting at my building.  In sheer tension I woke up to take guard of what happened. And again!!! There was a huge sound that literally vibrated the 9-stored building.  It was a fierce lightning followed by huge thunder. I was horrified. Taking some courage I went to the window to see what’s going on.

                 What I saw was beyond my exception. The sun was out. It was a bright day, but still it was raining heavily.  And then came another loud thrilling sound!!!  The loudest of the three… I ran to the other room to see what my roomy was doing. He was sitting in his bed totally confused, no knowing what to do. The first word that came from his mouth was, “I never heard of such huge thunders before”. I replied, ”Same here bro.”

                 There was yet another thunder, and this time it felt as if it hit my building. The vibration was more, and the sound even more. I went to the window and saw the air, filled with smoke… I was frightened.

I became restless when I found that the thunder hit a similar building just beside ours.  Inspecting from the window I found that it had hit the lightning conductor in that building. I came back to bed, covered myself with my blanket, and started chanting some mantras. The lightning and thunders continued to explode. After about 20 minutes, the sounds slowly started to mute.

                I caught sleep in the mean while, and it was again a sound that woke me, but this time it was the alarm clock that buzzed at 7:30. I went straight to the window to examine things.

To my disbelief, it was a bright day, with no clouds at all, and it just looked as if I had some nightmare… I woke my roomy up quickly to show him how the weather changed so drastically. He was surprised as well. It was one of the most Terrifying and Unusual days of my life!!!

              There are goose-bumps all over my body at this moment. I still can’t believe what happened in the morning!!!

ANDROID vs. iOS

Android or iOS??? This is the most common question of any individual around the globe, who wants to buy a smart phone.

Well, having a look at the recent market share, Android bags the market with a tremendous 75% global market share, where iOS bags only 14.9%. However there is a good increase in the number of sales in the iOS Smartphone’s category.

The basic difference that any Android user finds over an iOS user is the user-friendliness.  On one hand we find many new up gradations, with new apps, whereas, the other one stands out for status.  iOS has been consistently targeting the ‘Multitasking’ feature to grab customer’s attention.  The most separating factor that determines the market share of both the OS is the number of updates and innovations that they have. An Android user is also very open to many new apps and non-“Google Play” apps, which lacks in the iOS Operating System.

It’s going to be a fun affair to see, how the much awaited iOS 7 gets reviewed by users. However, it’s a must needed game changing strategy from the manufacturer, who have tried hard to get some very sharp changes like equally competent interface, and  the new sense of multitasking(which lacked earlier). However, Android still has a strong hold over the Customizability, where the customers are free to do a lot of experience, which iOS adds limit to.

You may call it copying or setting up new strategies, but iOS can really have a edge over Android if they keep making such changes and innovations on a constant mode,  and may be who knows what we are going to witness in this war of mobile OS?

My DREAMS, on the way to REALITY...

"I was in the spotlight and the management of my company put forth a party, in completion of implementation of Quality Management System(QMS). The project was led by me. The Top level management(MD), invited me to narrate the success story and to put forth, the upcoming plans of the project. Just as I walked to the spotlight, my steps became heavy. I tried to re-collect the difficulties faced in completing the project before due date.

I was at the center stage. Spotlight was on me. The eyes of everyone sitting in the auditorium patiently waited to see the success story, and their ears eagerly waiting to listen what I speak. I didn't knew how to start and what to speak. I was completely numb. 

I closed my eye and remembered the words of my trainer, conversing with the General Manager during the initial days of my training, "I see a lot of spark in Bireswar's eyes, but he is being under-utilized." I opened my eyes, took a long deep breath.

I started,"Good Evening!!! ......................................................................................................."

All of a sudden I heard a very high tone ringing in my ears. 

ALAS!!!! It was just a dream. My hands automatically went to stop the alarm in my mobile phone.

Oh!!! I wondered. I have my auditing test today. I assured myself that the dream I saw was still far away (A popular phrase in Hindi to explain it : Delhi abhi door hai).

On its Context, my mind dragged me to a superstitious belief that a dream seen at early morning is more liable to be converted to reality. 

I went to office like any usual day. It was the day when the QMS internal auditing body were to be declared. To get a name in the body requires a bit of homework to do.I remembered my efforts last night (I realized that even I didn't knew when I felt asleep during my preparations). With a lot of confidence I entered the training hall. The day processed with training and finally, it was result time. 

I not only got a name into the auditors list, but was also chosen a Team leader.

Was it the early morning dream that put forth a way to what I saw in it? Or was it the result of my sincere efforts in order to learn something new? I'm still to find out the answer, but this incident really set  a way to get to the LIMELIGHT I dream't of.
