2010 - The BEST YEAR of my LIFE !!!

            361th BLOG -->>

T|he most wonderful year of my life !!!

        So here comes the last blog of this year - 2010. It feels so nice that I have completed the whole year without any hurdles and ruffles. Here comes the 253rd Blog of 2010 and 361th Blog of my Blogging career. As it is the last day of this year, I should summarize and epitomize all my achievements and failures. I did the same in my 110th BLOG where I collaborated all my success and failures of 2009. The 2nd half of 2009 was too good for me while its first half was quite stressful and painful but the 2nd half was wonderful. Now, talking about 2010 - This year is the best year of my 21 years life. I haven't failed in any activity I have put my hand in *touch wood* . 2010 made me a person who can dream big, struggle big and become big. I developed an attitude of Entrepreneurship in me. I started feeling that this is my life, these are my people and I am the one who can change my life to generate the positiveness in the people who I think are mine. For them, I started striving and I think that seeing me and my results of some awesome activities and curriculum, many would have thought of doing something different in their life than being busy and associated only with academic and professional life. 

              The year- 2010 started with my result of Semester 1 where I passed with first class marks and achieved the 3rd position in the class without even fighting for it. 

              Then, the festive season started in the college where I won 2nd position in the Traditional Day for my disguise of Sardar or Sikh. I enjoyed while enacting a Sikh as I always saw different actors on the Silver Screen with turban and big beard. So trying the same with myself was a Hat-off experience for me.

              As everyone of you know that I want to be a Writer in future, I submitted my article to DNA newspaper for the 3rd time and expected that this time I will be selected and fortunately, My Article got published in the DNA newspaper about the contradiction of the views of Shiv Sena towards Shah Rukh Khan's statement of including Pakistan's player in IPL. This was the first time when my article was published in the newspaper with my photograph.  


             Then came the First FEST of my college after my admission. All the performances were being rehearsed and I saw my seniors and classmates working hard to bring perfection to their performances. My classmates and seniors forced me to participate and I agreed to dance lightly on the remix track of Kahiin to Hogi Woh. I became the first person in my college to perform a Solo Dance Performance and personally this is the first stage performance of my life. The video of my performance is here :




            I always heard that college students are busy in preparing their presentations and keep on making and editing slides in their PPT projects. Being in the college, this year was the first time in my life when I prepared a PPT presentation and gave a presentation in a classroom and luckily scored 10 out of 10 for My Presentation .

            Then the Semester ended and 3rd Semester begun. The result of 2nd semester was released where I scored First Class marks again but there was little drop in my percentage. Fortunately, I was again at the 3rd position in my class and 1st in Boys. It made me more confident of myself as I was expecting drop in 1 subject but I think Paper Checker was a good man. ;-)

            In the 3rd Sem, we were introduced to our Juniors and for the first time in our college, Orientation Programme was conducted for the students of BBA and BCA where I was selected as the Host. This was the first time in my life where I hosted any occasion. My father always had a dream to see me as a Host and I fulfilled his dream.

            Coming to my Blog, this year I have published 253 Blogs which is no less but it is less for me as I try to publish 1 blog every day to interact with my friends and share my views with the world and keep on enhancing my writing skills. I completed 200th and 300th blog of my career in 2010 itself. I have gained more than 92,500 visitors in the year 2010.

             I have been successful in making my Blog familiar to many talented writers and I think I am the only one who have received the compliments of 11 published authors. I think no blogger has achieved this milestone. The authors who favored my Blog with their auspicious comments are Chetan Bhagat, Robin Sharma, Rashmi Bansal, Varsha Dixit, S.R. Saha, Nishant Kaushik, Abhishek Kothari, Azhan Ahsan, Tanveer Singh, Animesh Verma and Mandar Kokate. You can read their comments on Celebrities Review . This is something which I never imagined in my life would happen. 

              I also received the comment from the Superstar of the Millennium - Mr. Amitabh Bachchan. It was incredulous to receive the comment from him. Every Indian has a dream to meet or talk or see Mr. Amitabh Bachchan once in their life and I fulfilled my dream to do the same which is an unimaginative glory for me. You can read Amitabh Bachchan's comment on my blog at AB on my Blog. 

             This year itself, I started freelancing and I earned for the first time in my life. It is always a matter of pride when you earn after putting a lot of effort. And it is fun when you earn by sitting at your home and work from your bedroom. I am just loving this world of working and earning but I am not heuristic for this. I do this in my spare time.

             So, this is the year when I have experienced a lot of things which I never did in my life. I got my own PAN Card. I got my first bank A/c at Axis and my First ATM Card too. I also got the Wi-Fi connection of my house on my name. I met Mrs. Rashmi Bansal, the author of 2 bestseller books personally in Mumbai. I have completed 7 series of Sai Baba Fasting which means I have fasted for 63 times. It is an unimaginative spiritual peace which you can never gain until you start praying God, reading Chalisa for him and try to connect with him. I started doing it and I feel relaxed after keeping fast and praying God with all the power of Soul and Mind.

            I have always heard about different NGOs and Charity Group working for different causes. This year I tried to join my hands with them and support them by doing some charity from my side. I did this for Saving Tigers which is our National Animal. 

            These are the only things which I can remember at this moment. There may be many more things which I did for the first time in 2010 and many more achievements which I owned this year. This has been the most successful year of my life and I don't think that any of the year in future may break the record of 2010. I am in love with 2010 with so much of compassion and relativism that I don't want this year to leave me and make me welcome a new year - 2011. I don't know how the next year will take place and what all pages of my life will be revealed but this is sure that 2010 will always remain close to my heart and I will always remember 2010 as the year which enhanced me and my persona. With a sad heart, I am leaving 2010 back and welcoming 2011. I hope everyone of you would have achieved something or the other in 2010. Hope 2011 bring more shines and sharpness in your life. My Best wishes with everyone.


 Thanks.


ABHILASH RUHELA - VEERU sad to leave 2010 behind.

            

            

              

            


            

2010 - The Year Of Wonderful Scams !!!

            360th BLOG -->>

        This is the 260th BLOG of this year - 2010. I don't know whether more blogs will come this year from my side or is this the last blog of this year. The year - 2010 has been very special for Indians and the world. We got a lot of things to learn and many new things were introduced to the world. I, myself, tried a lot of things and came up with new information about them which I don't think I would have ever got to know. This year, for India, has been scam-ful. We already knew that Ministers are terrorists in the uniform of white kurta-pyjama but we didn't knew that they are so intelligent to fool the income tax department and crores of Indians and earn uncountable of black money from the taxes we pay by being innocent and germane towards the government. If someone from our friend takes some money from us and don't return we feel like killing that person or we break our relation with him/her but our government is doing the same with us. The purpose of giving them taxes is not fulfilled and the same money is filled in their pockets and they are spending it for their personal expenses and fantasies but we are helpless and clueless about how to bring them on the global platform and ask for all the hisaab-kitaab.

              The year started with IPL matches where Mumbai Indians lost badly and Chennai showed that they are the true Superkings but did anyone knew that there's a big bhool-bhulaiyyaa behind the whole process of IPL matches? All the secrets came out when Lalit Modi tweeted about Sunanda who was related to Shashi Tharoor. Shashi Tharoor had to resign and Lalit Modi had to reveal all the owners and co-owners of all the teams included in the IPL matches and the whole system of probation hurled out Lalit Modi from the position of Commissioner too. IPL Scam was wonderful and we got to know that the whole system is corrupt.

             Few months passed and our dear Media started showing us something about Common wealth Games and its relation with the delay and carelessness of Kalmadi. Media kept spoiling Kalmadi's name and he became a new face and brand ambassador of Indian politics. The total amount of Scam was calculated to approximately 40,000 crore to 50,000 crore but the wonderful thing was that the CWG thing happened nicely without any patches in it.

             Mumbai is made up of lot of tall buildings and skyscrapers but the most controversial building after Lokhandwala is Adarsh Society. Lokhandwala became famous because of terrorists but the Adarsh Society became famous because the building was made for the relatives of great heroes of our nation who lost their lives while fighting for the nation but all the flats were sold and allotted to the relatives of beautiful ministers. The CM of Maharashtra - Ashok Chavan had to resign this year. All the Chief Ministers of this country has been the king of corruptions and cheaters. I love to read about their scams. I hope I'll learn some tricks for fooling the people and government in some years.   

             Then came 2G Spectrum. A. Raja became a new hero in this scam. Neera Radia became the first queen of corruption this year. It is said that she has earned 2000 Crore just by politicians. I dream that she should have been my chachi or mami. I would have loved to pamper her to earn at least 1% of the amount she has. Still the issues of 2G Spectrum are handled by our Government. I don't know the whole case of 2G Spectrum but still I know that it is something big and wonderful to go into its detail.  


              Now, Wikileaks is in the form of leaking and it is opening many polls. I think 2011 will be much wonderful year and we will come to know many more scams and ghotaaleys. I never found newspaper so interesting but this year- 2010 has made my interest to read newspaper more enthusiastic. Lets hope that our money are invested in the right things for which we pay to the government but we can say that we learned a lot through these Scams and understood that the politicians are the biggest corrupt of this country and we are the biggest fools to select them as our leaders and authority.

             Bahut ho gaya aaj ke liye. As I wrote this post, 5 aunties were chatting with my mummy in the same room so there can be plethora of grammatical mistake so please avoid them.


Thanks.

Merry Christmas To All - Welcome You, Santa !!!

            359th BLOG -->>

        Finally its the last week of this year and decade. A wonderful year of 2010 is coming to an end which showed us so many things (latest being WikiLeaks ;-) ). The last week of every year has one charismatic festival which I don't think you would have found difficult in figuring out. Merry Christmas to all of you. Christmas is a beautiful festival celebrated by Christians and all the followers of Jesus Christ. Christmas signifies the birth of Jesus Christ. Now a days Christmas is not only confined to Christians but by other religious and pious people too. I'm a Hindu and I am as enthusiastic as Christians for this festival. Jesus Christ is not only associated with Christians as the English Calendar which is followed globally is based on his birth. The Hindu Calendar and Islamic Calendar are followed by their followers itself but the Christian Calendar is followed by each and everyone so the importance of Jesus Christ and Christmas is very close to each and everyone in the world.

             I had two Christian friends in my childhood - Juby and Pranjali. They have been two important friends in my life with whom I have passed many years and there has been no personal issues. Both of them has given me a good face of Christians and showed me that Christians are wonderful and prosperous. There are lots of Christians in Southern part of India and we all know that the literacy rate is awesome and therefore I have a good image of Christians that they are quite intelligent and genius (but Juby you weren't. Don't be happy). The Fathers in the Church also looks smart and decent. In short, I never had a bad experience with Christians. They are awesome. 

             Christmas is also known as Christ's Mass, Nativity, Noel and Feast of the Nativity. It is celebrated by Christians and many Non-Christians (I am one of them). The significance of the festival is the traditional birth of Jesus. The date for Christmas is 25th December but it is celebrated on January 6th in Armenia and January 7th in a minority of Eastern Orthodox Churches. The observances on the day of Christmas are Gift-giving, Church services, Family and other social gatherings and symbolic decorating including Christmas trees, lights, garlands, mistletoe, nativity scenes, and holly. It is related to Annunciation, Advent, Epiphany and Baptism of the Lord.

               Children and kids are the biggest fan of this festival. Nowadays Holi and Diwali are considered to be hazardous for environment so the craze for these festivals are reducing day by day. Eid is something which is not celebrated in an entertaining way from the point of view of children. But the festival of Christmas is the most awaited festival for children as they expect their Santa Claus to gift them their dream gift or toy. I remember my childhood when our class teacher used to ask us to write a gift which we want Santa Claus to present to us. I used to write and a man in the disguise of Santa Claus used to come and gift everyone of us the same gift which we demanded from him. I used to be very happy and astonished that how do Santa come to know about my gift. For the next 10 to 12 years I thought the same thing that Santa used to bring it for me by paying it from his pocket-money. The truth was revealed when I was in 10th std and my neighbor bought a Ludo set for her child to give to the teacher of the school. I asked what is this for and she told about the same chit which the child filled on the demand of teacher and the same gift which she bought will be given to teacher and teacher will hand to the man who comes in the disguise of Santa Claus. I was shocked but the concept is so sweet which makes this festival special for all the children in the world.

                  I wish everyone a very happy Christmas. Enjoy as much as you can. Eat as much cakes as you can. I am already presented cake by a Mr. Varghese here who is the only Christian here in contact. Thank you sir. And we are having a non-veg celebration tomorrow as the celebration of Christmas.

                 MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL !!!

             Thanks.
