It's Me........

The confused person who always asks god when in difficulty and forgets in happiness. Loves to share his world with all and expects the same. Become a friend at your own risk :)

India Wins home series after 24 years

This seems like pretty long for a home series win. Pakistan always have played well in India. I like the win because Sachin played well and i like him. Also this series have made the team united and they have clicked as a team. The team has been playing with out a coach and they have been performing well. May be the players are maturing. Yuvi has matured for sure and the new players are also have woken up to responsibility. Dhoni has captained well and he plays as usual his dhoom shoots. His hai style is always in news and i like his newer hair style. It is trim and lean. I always prefer cut like Dhoni amd Matt demon. Hair style enhances someones personality. Now a days players are more concerned about their looks and aggressive. Sachin has been a player down to earth and has always performed well. Always expectations are high on him. The one thing still now not in the team is consistency. Like Australia, who hate to loose a single match. I think that is needed in Indian team. Australians are a huge force in terms terms of consistency because they always wants to do better. I respect them for that. They never relax even after winning the series. That sets them different from other teams. India team can win the series in Australia and it will be biggest revenge for them. Australians are aggressive and they love to talk. The best answer is defeat them and they will take notice of you and respect you. That dream is still there and billions of Indians are wishing for that rare series win.

New place New roomies

Finally reached Jersey city. I found a place to live and has got Oriya room mates. First time in my life, i am living with Oriya people. I lived with some Oriya friends before but one guy was not brought up in Orissa and he lives out of Orissa. Now everybody born and brought up and live also in Orissa. I always preferred people from different state because it lets me know their culture. The guys are young and restless like me. But may be i have crossed their stage , where you do not care about others and you talk a lot. It is certain that i have quiet since last few years and got adjusted to live like that. I want privacy more now and believes in more concepts which i was not. When i interact with my new roomies, it gives me memories of my college days. These friends are helping in nature and they are different. They cook well and they have different priorities in life. It has added one advantage. Now when i tell my parents that i am living with my state mates. They are really happy and they are tension free. There are some changes needed in the room and we are going to do it soon. Also Indian grocery and transport is very near. I am missing the gym a lot and i need to find a place soon for it. Always life gives you opportunities and it depends on you , how to utilize it. Well for the time being, i feel like just at home...

NYC City

Well finally i came to the city, which i liked for its people and buildings. This city also brings me to me favorite domain banking and finance. I had been trying since last few months to get hold of Finance concepts. What else can you ask from God. He gave me the hot topic to choose. Investment Banking. It is a great and exiting topic with a great career and money but heavy workload. You always need to be on your toe, as it is a high risk business. You need to understand also the finance and economy of the world, to make the best use of the profits. If you are wrong, investors are going to suffer heavily. I am totally new to this concept and i am hoping that my new project may give some insights in to this concept. NYC city is populated like Mumbai and you live the life jsut like back in India. This city at least tries me to put in to that mode. Sometimes, if you live in other cities, you are in that comfort zone, that you can not live in India. But if you are in NYC, somewhat it negates that. NYC city is full of immigrants. Sometimes i feel, this city has been invaded by people who are from other countries. It has good mode of transport and the city never sleeps. If you go to Jersey city, Indians are in plenty. You feel like you are at home. NYC city also has lot of Indian restaurants and you can have food from all varieties. After my relocation to this city, i have been eating a lot outside. It is also not that expensive and the quality of food is good. NYC city is very expensive, life is fast, crowded and traffic is bad but i do not know, i like this city very much. May be it reminds me of my origin and may be this city will bring the best of me and will make me more strong professionally and emotionally. This city has offered me so many challenges and i am up to it. This was the city, in which airport i had landed during my first visit to US and i have loved it's aerial view. NYC is because of its people. I met also here my some old friends and also one of my old colleague, who had trained me. I used to think that he is a kind of mad guy and he has not changed a bit. But he has not changed a bit. But i was surprised, when he talked to me in my native language. He gave a good treat and told me few things, which i will remember. I have been lucky that people treat me so well and everybody has been friendly. That makes me feel that i am blessed and i thank god for that. NYC rocks during night and you should see it once to fall in love in its charm.

Baltimore Green belt

Well i miss the beauty of Baltimore in NYC for sure. I went once to a u-haul store in Baltimore. We have to drive for around 90 minutes to reach that place. On the way, i saw some places which are worth watching. It is just like you are in heaven. Long green fields with a house in them. It felt as if nature is doing painting for people to enjoy. When you see those beautiful house with greenery among them, it makes me jealous. In India, we do not have that much of land left for build house like these. Americans are lucky to have vast land and they make the best of it. The roads with trees on sides and farm lands stretching miles is a scenery to watch. I have been an admirer of natures beauty since i was a kid. I love the greenery. When i saw those farm lands, i just wanted to roll over them. Sleep and look to the blue sky and dream about having a romantic life. Sometimes places like this give your heart much needed breathe from city life. You tend to admire god's creation. My friend Rexy had told me earlier that Baltimore is a beautiful place. On that day i realized that. I felt very proud on that day that i have been associated with this city. Baltimore downtown also has a port. It looks so beautiful in night. I have spent a lot of weekends there enjoying the live music and songs. Sometimes, you wish time should stand still, so that you can keep on enjoying it. Well, now i need to move. I will miss those days in Baltimore....
