Dude, its like every other day some or other person is getting married or engaged.Donno what to say in such a situation. I have kind of mixed opinion about it all.. for a couple of them, its good that they r getting married, that was the best way out to drive them out of depression.For others its like succumbing to male dominance n turning in to a typical Indian homely housewife type female. My friend sets the example of how much a relationship can change a person.. dude, he's(my school time frnd) become utterly "sampooran Bhartiya pati". cant belive a person like him could ever be like this...may be... but I guess the answer to this question is both the reasons together. I have changed, so has he.Seeing these kind of incidents makes me dislike the institution of marriage. Why the hell should give up your friends, even male friends after marriage, anyways Coming back to the main point, it depends upon the person whom u r marrying. If u marry a narrow minded idiot, u r doomed.. or atleast a person like me is surely gonna be doomed.. but if u get someone really goodie goodie.I guess I did find some one to fit in my frame long time back. it seems so idiotic to think about her even now,but thats a long way past for me.....You might want to ask me that When am I gonna get married?.I don't know With whom do I intend to get married? i don't know only time can tell.. just hoping that it bring 3 smiles in my life.. How will I get 3 smiles in my life ...I don't know....Anyway.. gtgn (got to go now ) Ciao&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cheers !!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13043936-113715876065479597?l=awaytheyhavegone.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://awaytheyhavegone.blogspot.com/feeds/113715876065479597/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13043936&amp;postID=113715876065479597' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13043936/posts/default/113715876065479597'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13043936/posts/default/113715876065479597'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://awaytheyhavegone.blogspot.com/2006/01/betrothal-season.html' title='Betrothal season'/><author><name>Umakant Goyal</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08571571763433718275</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='10803200283045359226'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13043936.post-111933147461269898</id><published>2005-06-20T22:20:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-06-20T22:24:34.616-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Hullo !!!!!!!!!

Sometime to spend  away from  this creepy noise of  keys and those shouting mails of client.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I asked my boss for a 15 min break and headed towards kitchen.Got a cup of  tea.&lt;br /&gt;and gone to terrace. now i was feeling a bit relaxed. trying to forget all those work related tensions. i was feeling hungry as well, but dinner had not come yet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;this all situation has  taken me back to the hostel days. where we all were used to jump from the backside boundary wall to have  dinner at "Sethi's Dhaba" . that sethi's dhaba was a craze for us that time. where vishal (my friend) got his both legs fractured while jumping from the wall. ha ha....this brought a smile on my face and in between i heard someone' s calling me, sir,&lt;em&gt; Dinner aa gaya hai&lt;/em&gt;(Sir, Dinner is here)  i turned back, it was Ramchandar Bhaiya calling me for dinner. i tried to get myself back from sethi's dhaba  and moved to kitchen again. boss was already there. i was feeling hungry like anything. we had our dinner and started the damn work again.Reached home at 2 in the night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cheers !!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13043936-111710789554349740?l=awaytheyhavegone.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://awaytheyhavegone.blogspot.com/feeds/111710789554349740/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13043936&amp;postID=111710789554349740' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13043936/posts/default/111710789554349740'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13043936/posts/default/111710789554349740'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://awaytheyhavegone.blogspot.com/2005/05/one-cup-tea.html' title='One Cup Tea'/><author><name>Umakant Goyal</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08571571763433718275</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='10803200283045359226'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13043936.post-111658528645976766</id><published>2005-05-24T12:54:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-05-24T02:28:06.666-07:00</updated><title type='text'>good ol' days</title><content type='html'>who can forget the good ol' days , the times spent in school, waiting for recess all the time, sharing ur lunch with frnds, mass bunks, playing hide n seek, giving excuses to parents on monday morning., Those were the days full of carelessness, no understandings of responsibility kinda things. u just need to do ANYTHING to satisfy your TEMPTATIONS, to achieve whatsoever you like..be it bicycle same as of that Ajay( my school time friend) has, or the lunch box that other guys carry, or the Ice Creams that were always out of Budget(my pocket money).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i had finished with my 5th Std exams and all the exams had gone excellent. i was expecting a gud rank in class this time(first time in life :D). and didnt even enjoy my holidays to the fullest just in the wait of Result Day(Afterall ,first time in life i was feeling that i have done sumthin gud , so wanted to show this to Whoooole Damn world as well)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so finally the Result Day came, it was 31st March 1991. and my heartbeat was faster than schumacher's ferrari. i cudnt sleep the whole nite.missed out my breakfast and reached school at 8(one hour before time). My father was also with me.to the extent of my surprize, ajay and deepak(my two friends/competitors) were already there. they were there since 7.30. oh my gawd, smthing happnd to me...... i felt like i have lost the game.and this time too, they wud bag first and second rank in the class. and i hv to content with the third again, i was feeling depressed a bit,but still i was trying to keep myself up with a lil' hope that result is being declared yet, and no body knows whats in store.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;our class teacher came to us(me, deepak and ajay) and asked us to take the seats in a sequence where i hv to sit on first seat, deepak on second and ajay on the third one and then rest of the students of our class.This was a temporary indication of the ranks u hold in this class(what i have observed in last four yrs). I was feeling out of this world, again and again i was looking at my father with a proudy feeling, as i was trying to say, "see papa , ur beta is not that poor in studies. today i have proved it". papa also responded with a broad smile. deepak and ajay were sad because of this sitting arrangements. but the mystery is still there ---&gt; result is not out yet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;now the principal comes to the Stage. and after a blah-blah- bleh-bloh speech, he started declaring results, for class 9th,8th,7th, 6th.there was a BIG trophy for the topper of each class. and i was feeling like "wow, i gonna carry that trophy with me ". so Principal was about to declare the result of our class and he said " Topper of class 5th is ----------------------------------- (i was about to leave my seat) ......and suddenly i heard Deepak jain, yes the Topper of class 5th is Deepak jain. shattered..........i was smashed..........everything was going so fine, then how come this happen. i got second rank and ajay was third.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;this was all teacher's mistake. how could she forget this. y did she ask me to have first seat in the queue. y did she make me dream so high. she cud have asked me to sit on the second seat. i was sad like anything and asked my teacher about this . i still had a hope that there cud b some mistake in announcing the names. but everything was okay on her part. and sitting first in a queue was not result indication.in her words it was like ---- " we just wanted to arrange the queues in a manner so that some brilliant students should represent the whole class.it doesnt indicate ur ranks in the Result".&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So, Deepak was carrying the BIG trophy, and i got a lill' smaller one. from next day we were in 6th, and started the whole new life again as well. no tension of studies.no more challanges , again those recess time games, those tempting ice-creams and those mass bunks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is hw fastly emotions change in school times. but now its like we tend to stick to some bad things happened to us. and spoil the present time in shades of past. so my dear friends, jst cheer up, and forget all the bad things happened to u. and believe me that wud the BIGGEST trophy of ur life.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cheeers !!!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13043936-111658528645976766?l=awaytheyhavegone.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://awaytheyhavegone.blogspot.com/feeds/111658528645976766/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13043936&amp;postID=111658528645976766' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13043936/posts/default/111658528645976766'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13043936/posts/default/111658528645976766'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://awaytheyhavegone.blogspot.com/2005/05/good-ol-days.html' title='good ol&apos; days'/><author><name>Umakant Goyal</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08571571763433718275</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='10803200283045359226'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
