Today is my Birthday and in the words of Gordon Gekko, I am fucked up…he he he…coz I perfectly represent the so called NINJA GENERATION, who has no job…no income…and no assets.
So I hereby smile on the never ending struggles of my life, acknowledge my failures and move on, to make a few more (unknown) mistakes thereby wishing myself a very Happy Birthday…
We are all Mixed Bags…Isn't it? He he he
Well, today I thought to be myself and do nothing special to make it special. Sometimes, being yourself is the only special thing you can do for yourself. Isn’t it? So here is the list of things, which I would constantly update throughout the day, which would give you an idea, of who Rishi Gajbhiye is, any given normal day.
- Spoke to my younger brother Samrat who called to wish me the moment the clock ticked 12:00. Seems he was just waiting for it…So did my sister…
- Mom called to wish me too. Seems she was also waiting for the time…To celebrate my birthday in her own style, my Mom will cook her regular celebration dish – Bagharaa Chawal, Daalcha and Rajmaa with Soya nuggets. Yummieeee…
- Guess who called after my family to wish me…someone who is not less than a family…Sumit Motwani…he can never forget my birthday…after all I have tortured him to the core at IPMG to such an extent, that he can never forget me anymore…he he he
- Registered a space on my blog for a new posting – regarding my 32nd birthday, the current one which you are reading right now.
- Feeling sleepy...so I am off for my goodnight dreams...after all, I do nurture a few dreams...he he he...see you all in the morning...
- Now this is pretty hilarious…today I thought I will sleep a little longer for obvious reasons…I am still confused whether it was a dream or a reality…but I felt someone biting my right ankle with sharp teeth, and shockingly it woke me up…of course I was frightened, only to see no one around and no marks on my ankle too. Seems it might be a rat or something else or may be nothing, but I got my share of love bite on my ankle and that too when I was deeply asleep. He he he…what a birthday….
- Well, post the love bite of my life, when I tried sleeping I got a call (at 5:30 in the morning), which I was expecting a little earlier. He he he…Puneet Raheja...der aaye durust aaye Puneet sahaab…he he he…Where are the other members of DAMM? Doston se itni expectations to banti hi hai naa yaaro...he he he
- So now, here I am...after having my morning tea, I am completing the last chapter of the book - On The Brink by Hank Paulson. Due to other commitments I could not complete it on time...but since I am relaxing today a bit, I thought to complete it...
- Well, since I missed my exercises today morning, I thought to have a long walk to burn those calories. So I walked about 3 Kms at about 10:00 am in the sunny morning only to reach Ambience Mall, where I was teased by Lerros, Alcott, Promod, Lladro, Nautica, Rosenthal, Gant, Aldo, Sisley and Rado…When you don’t earn for few months, what else would they do to you rather than teasing? He he he
- At Ambience Mall, I catched up yet another 10:30 am show for Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps. So all in all, it was my third visit to Gordon Gekko, in a single week and I still loved.
- Gifted myself another book called – “Crash Course: The American Automobile Industries Road From Glory To Disaster”, by Paul Ingrassia. I am excited to read this book, but first, let me finish a few unfinished tasks that I took recently.
- Sister cooked my favorite Pulao, Paneer Mushrooms, Raita and Rabdi today...so I did not mind doing some overeating today...the best part of having a sister and mother is that you get good food on your birthday, even if you don't earn for few months...he he he...isn't it?
- Furiously reprimanded a job counselor over the phone, who tried to sell me a BPO job despite refusing three times since past 4 days. I think by now, people should know how deeply I hate BPO profiles…he he he
- I am not wasting my time over the Ayodhya issue...it's simply an overly hyped lie which India is witnessing since past 60 years. I don't understand why Govt. choose to declare the final verdict 3 days before CWG. Are the lawyers foolish to ignore the possible outcomes which can further deteriorate countries image. Grow up Indian Authorities...A history has already been created by my birth today. Did we need anything else to boast off for Sept. 30...Don't ruin my day please...he he he
- Currently, reading a chapter on Hedge Fund's Risk Analysis as a part of my course curriculum.
- Abused my ISP Customer Service Representative over the phone, for frequent internet disconnections. Today I was without internet service for about 3 hours...and that was not at all acceptable...
- Mugged up a bit of GIPS provisions on Private Equity & their Valuation Principles.
- Completed a revision of Bayes’ Theorem and Chebyshev’s Inequality. Can't live without Probability...he he he
- Listened to my favorite songs – Ek din teri raaho me baaho me panaaho me aaungaa, Naa hai ye khonaa, Tum mere ho bus mere hi mere ho, Menda ishq vi tu, Awarapan banjarapan, mujhko dil se yahi shikayat hai, Himmat-e-ataa karo, khaamosh raat sehmi hawaa…and many more
- Read this article on IndexUniverse.com that Charles Schwab has filed with the SEC for authorization to launch an exchange-traded fund investing in REIT.
- Read this article on TheStreet.com about the rising prices of gold which is setting new records
- Read this article on Irishtimes.com about the bailout of Anglo Irish Bank which could go upto 30 Billion Euros.
- Read this article on Bloomberg.com about Elizabeth Warren who earned $90,000 as a paid expert witness in a lawsuit against major financial institutions.
- Read this article on WashingtonPost.com, that U.S. House agrees to punish China for its currency policy
- Watched a documentary on Hitler, which my father gifted me on my last birthday. Hitler is my favorite historical character. You guys can hate me for this, I won’t mind.
- One and a half hours left to finish the day...what do you all think would be my next move...Well, Peirce Brosnan is my favorite hero and I can not spend the day without having a bit of him...so I would now be watching him do the dare devil action stills from Golden Eye, Tomorrow Never Dies, The World Is Not Enough and Die Another Day...won't watch the entire movie, only the action sequences...where in he depicts serious style quotient...as Bond
So, the day was pretty normal, as I expected it to be…and that made it special, no fancy celebration, no boozes and fags and no get togethers. Yet, the whole day my cell phone was ringing and the special ones who called and wished me are Kshipra (my cousin), Bali Aunty (my maasi), Sishir (my college time best buddy), Shiva (my colleague at Genpact), Arunima (my co partner at my Martial Arts classes) and Sanjeev (my best buddy at Xchanging). Of course, there were some, who missed, and I was expecting them, but then I understand that they might have been either in some problem or with some other commitments. Alternatively, I do understand that my AURA might have decreased too. He he he...All in all, with close to 70 people wishing me through social networking sites and receiving close to 30 calls and yet another 28 SMS’s, I still believe that my Acceptance as a “Networking Guy” has reduced since past three years…but that’s plainly because I purposefully wanted to keep a low profile…he he he…I am sure, I will strike it hard soon…Thanks to everyone who made my day, special…
