'Father Teresa' does it again for India !!!

Ishant Sharma....mere झिपरे....टोंगळे....'लख्ते-जिगर'... I ♥U...

You always make me and all Indians very proud !!!

While I was posting this status, Ishant just called me to tell that his bowling coach ' Mr. Ashish Nehra' congratulated him for his consistent 'Death-over Bowling' and told him that he is exactly sticking to all the basics taught by him. Certainly a Proud Coach !!!

When James Faulkner was taken for 21 runs in the last over by Dhoni, he was not worried as he knew that our 'Father Teresa' would reciprocate by feeding him more runs than what he gave. Only Ishant can have that calibre on whom opponents can also depend !!!

Few may vent their anger by saying that his ever growing hairs may be affecting his vision due to which 'Yorker' term is out of question for him and so does the word 'Stump'. For them I must ask that if Dhoni had long hairs for a substantial period of time then why not Ishant can keep them which is a good-luck charm for his consistent bowling form????

So now please stop criticizing our Bowler of the millenium.....
If your Dhoni can hit 4-5 sixers in an inning then my super-talented Ishant can concede them in a single over too...no big deal for him. 

You need to have more courage to do so....it shows his brave heart and generous nature towards his opponents....a real philanthropic man I must say....

Just pray that Umesh Yadav won't be fit to replace Ishant else you will miss an opportunity of witnessing a 'Live Social Service Act' as there is no other replacement for our Bowling Maestro - Ishant Sharma !!!

Happy Birthday Bappi Da - 18th Oct - 2013

Thank U all for wishing me on my B'day....

Especially those who spend few bucks on calls to wish me...
(Mehengai ka zamana hai bhai...isliye uun 3 lucky winners/callers ka special mention hona chaahiye....)

Thank U Onkar Alurkar, Kaushik Sharma and Mohsin Havaldar for not making my mobile feel lonely today and avoiding me feel ashamed of having a mobile especially today :)
(I hope 'Inflation' will not affect @least U in future and u continue to call me wherever I am to wish me on my B'day :P)

Special thanks to Surya Sunkara, Varad Dixit and Jagruti for making me feel that I am STILL worth a person who has touched ur life in some way or the other....
Your today's B'day wishes in ur own style which had ur personal touch really made my day....and mind U....U all 3 pleasantly surprised me.....

This is a usual trend every year...Unexpected Ppl surprise me every year by wishing me in a very nice way and those expected 1s either opt for easy way out of either msging/posting on FB or pinging me when m online or the best part....they totally 4get that I exist ;) However if I miss wishing them on their B'days, they do crib to me.....pretty strange???Believe It...'Ripley's Believe It Or Not' :D

Anyways, I also loved the way few of U still called me 'Bappi Da' while wishing me on FB :) It felt like u Ppl are still around me and we all are still enjoying that 'Golden Era of OBR'..

Many learnings from the day:

1) Not to remain awake just to wish people @ 12.00 on their B'days even when u need to wake up early in the morning for ur office.

2) Do not call and waste money when U notice on FB that ur friend's B'day is there when one can simply type a line on his wall ...which he/she may/may not check on the same day but u have diligently performed ur duty.

3) One can also try another easier option of text msg...especially if sm msg pack is activated.

4) Do not look at ur mobile @ 12.00 hoping @list sm1 will call U as for the rest 364 days U still have to be nice with ur mobile even if it betrayed U on ur B'day.

5) The best lesson learnt: You start believing that you have given a lot to the people around U and they will always remember that and acknowledge U by @list wishing U on ur B'day.....all crap.....once out of limelight, you are simply a Mr.Nobody !!!

6) Need to learn to stop keeping contact with those whom I call every year once to wish on their B'days but who are never in touch with me even on my B'day.

7) Also need to learn to stop re-dialling if a B'day Boy/Gal didn't pick ur call twice or thrice or did not even bother to give a call-back or msg U.

Gosh, birthdays can be a nightmare if U start the day with too much expectations...
So let it unfold the way it is scripted so that the surprises will make U more happy than the sadness which comes from the huge disappointments!!!

This is one damn day which shows U your real value in other people's life !!!

So again thankU to all those who made me smile today...touched my heart by their small gestures/acts....especially the 'Sole Gifter' for taking so much efforts just to give me that beautiful gift....a gift on MY B'day.... ha ha ha.....a big joke which repeated after 5 damn yrs...
(Saala ab tak main sochta tha ke 'Paagalpan' ka theka sirf maine leke rakha hai par aaj meri wo galatfehmi bhi duur ho gayi) !!!

"Lifetime Achievement Award Day" !!!

सभी पुराने एवं नए मित्रोंको यह बताते हुए मुझे बड़ा आनंद प्राप्त हो रहा है के मेरी 'शनि दशा (साडे-साती)' समाप्त हो चूकी है! 

इसी कारणवश हमारे जीवनमे पुनः पदोन्नती का योग आया है एवं हम 'Team Leader' नियुक्त किये गए है!

Moral Of The Story: I have been handed over my 'Lifetime Achievement Award' ... 

अभी भी नही समझे??? अमा कमाल करते हो आप भी पांडेजी।।।

हम आपसे अवार्ड की बात कर रहे है और आप है के हमारी उमर का हिसाब लगा रहे है!!  

हमारे कहने का मतलब ये है के ......चलो थोडी अंग्रेजी ट्राय करते है....

I mean to say ke I have been promoted as a 'Team Leader' :) 

I would like to thank all those who taught me something or the other in my entire tenure in the current organization. A special thanks to those who thought I would never make it up to this level. 

There were lot of working hands shaping me throughout this period whom I have already thanked. Yet this is again a small appreciation from my side to all those whom I may have missed in my mail or who have left the organization...but ofcourse after teaching me something great stuff !!

The most pleasant part of the day was that many people were more happy than me for my promotion as if they were more eagerly waiting for my promotion thinking that I really deserved it. 

Their faith in me and my abilities and qualities which I can harness into my next job level was shown to me from time to time which kept me going on the 'slow track pitch which had uneven bounce' !!! 

I would always cherish this truthful affection shown towards me when I needed it the most.

I pray to god that kindly keep me rooted to the ground and don't alter me much unless it is really required for my new role and please let me be an 'Aam Aadmi' among the elite league :) 

Also don't make my creativity fade away due to the burden of new responsibilities and new challenges which I would have to face. Instead, show me ways to use my creativity for the betterment of my new role.

Thanks again to all the mentors from the bottom of my heart for making me achieve this success.

P.S. Kindly do not ask the current CTC as it won't be disclosed @ any cost !!! ;)

Yours,

Suraj Gaikwad
