As I travel quite often so its a little dangerous for me to carry a lots of cash. Generally I don't carry much but that only which is suitable at the places where plastic money is not used , for example, bus ticket. Now, its not possible that your account has loads of cash all the time, at least its not possible for a poor guy like me, so at times, I do use my credit cards too. I am carrying cards for almost all the major banks but there are still some, whose cards I don't yet have and HSBC is among those few. As I am at home so I thought why not use this opportunity to make one from it as well. And the story starts from here, a painful story if you may want to say so! The first point of contact is to check that do you have  contact number of some marketing guy who can help you in this process. I checked that whether in some deep dark corners of my cupboards, I have one or not? Luckily(for some time)  I had one. So I called him only to find some lady over the other end. Whe...

I got back today morning after a grueling program. I just hope that it went well. I am not sure though about it. The guys were smiling and were very happy so that's a good sign if you ask me but still, I am much concerned about rating too this time. There was not anything special that happened over my travel back. I am not sure why but I am just feeling drop dead tired. Now , I can't say that its for no reason because I know , I am pushing my self for couple of things a little too much and this certainly can be a reason for this over tiredness. Yesterday, when I finished my session at about 4.30pm, I was struggling with my self to keep my eyes open. My cab was going to be late so I just decided to stay back in the office rather than going all the way back to guest house and when I was sitting there, my eyes were not getting open at all! The irony is that when I am so much tired like this and want to take a nap, some thing or the other happens because of which I never able to ...

At times, you do feel really so much tired and that’s the same is the case with me. I guess, I am getting weaker or these travels are making me more exhausted (and thus weaker) day by day. Well, whatever it may be, the end result is that I am dead tired at the moment and that’s the main reason that I didn’t write anything since I got here. I did want to sit on Sunday and wanted to write about the bits of my travel but I just couldn’t gather myself to do so. About the travel, there wasn’t anything unusual at the time of the start. I did catch my bus and as like of the times, this was a Punjab Roadways. My dad came to drop me there and I am not sure, but I was feeling so sad while leaving. I don’t feel like that very often because the travel is an integral part of what I do so there is nothing to be sad about it. But still, I did get sad this time and I just wanted to get off from the bus and wanted to go back home with my dad. But this was not going to happen so I just had to sit there...

Yes I am leaving tomorrow. I am not sure that what's the outcome of the tour. If you are following than you must be aware about what happened in the last trip of mine. Thinking of that, I must say, I am a bit scared , both for my health and about the program. I am not sure what's going to happen this time. Those who know me for real, they must be aware about this fact that I am not a sort of person who would let things go just like that and won't give my best. I do it all the time(at least I try to do) so I shall do the same this time too. I just hope things would go fine and there won't be any "shocks" for me after the program. Do pray for me guys, really need your wishes! Before I leave, I just want to mention that I am happy today over something. Want to know what? Well, if you have read about my thoughts about Roadies and in that, a guy from the current season, Devrishi over  here  , you must be knowing that I didn't like that guy at all. Besides th...

Well, this is just a test post to check that my blog editors are working fine or not? If you are reading this that means everything is working fine!

Indeed it was! I am just feeling so much tired at the moment when writing this. I had to get up in the morning at 5.30am to drop my sis for work. When I came back , I thought I would sleep for just some time but I was asleep for complete 3 hours! I had some plans with me for today so I just had a quick breakfast and got ready. It was going to be a long day and I knew its going to be fun! My first stop for the day was at the place where I go for my hair cut and a non-often face clean(or facial if my hair dresser and sis would insist). It was a long time since I had undergone a face clean so I thought,  I shall get one today. Initially , its always the hair cut and I only reveal at the end of it to my friend-cum-stylist that I need one face clean too. And when I mention it, its the most happiest day for him I believe because I always hear, wow today's date must be noted :-). Anyhow, its always fun to relax for a while and I don't mind getting couple of unknown creams/packs/what...

I just got back from a grueling tour. I am not sure that I can remember a tour which I felt so long and where I had such a huge urge to get back to home? I guess and hope, this was the only one and the number shouldn't increase. There were series of jolts which did come all the time in this tour. I just woke up from a day long nap, again something which I don't do very often when I get back. But this time, I just couldn't hold myself to stay up.  As I had mentioned in my last post, I didn't get good rating in the first program of mine. Though the comments were good but the rating wasn't and the irony is that the module is that one which I have taken almost 100 times. I was told that it doesn't matter for me what is the rating but I guess, it does and it will as long as I shall be in this profession. Though the 2nd program did go well( so was the last one too) and the rating did get improve along with lots of good comments but still, it wasn't very good acc...

I started blogging or I should say, I registered my first blog just because that I had to post a comment on Tom Kyte's blog . I had no intention to start a blog of my own at any point. Though i did register my first blog quite a long time back from the time when I actually started posting over it. The first one was over BlogSpot  which later on , got acquired by Google. When the blogging was still picking up in the entire world, one more player came up and created a storm in this arena, WordPress . Jumping in to the bandwagon, I did register for ta free blog account too like many others worldwide. And this did happen today, 15th of February when I said hello to this world through it . Its been an amazing ride so far. I have got some very interesting comments over couple of my posts, got to hear some nice words from people. I thank to all who do come up and read my random musings. Thanks a bunch to you guys. I hope I shall be able to post something more meaningful too in the future...

Good Rating Is As Important As Good Comments I always believe that its very important to give someone(anyone) a moral boost. In any job, its going to help the person to improve and strive for more better work. I know the importance of boost up because the kind of industry I am into, the entire performance of someone's ability, good work is judged, NOT from what he has done but what others say about it? So its very important for me to achieve good ratings. Well, this did not happen this time. Though, I got some good comments but I didn't get a good rating. I am not sure that what was the reason for it as for me, each session of mine is just like the very first one which I took years back and it matters to me in the same way as it did when I was starting. Some do say to me that I shouldn't be bothered about it as I can't control it and can just hope that others do a good job to give me good ratings. Some even say that I am above now from that point where ratings do matt...

Some people search for my blog by using " Bad Aman Blog" as a search term. Good to see that I am called bad also by some people who themselves  don't even have the slightest idea about being good. Its just so upsetting to see that you did so much for those who never understood its importance,  make you listen all of this world's rubbish, justify their entire faults  but still dare to call you only, guess what , bad! Just great! But that's what this world and its people are all about I guess, selfish, heartless and simply self centered and you just can't do anything about it!

Its not normally that I feel tired after session. But I am not sure , today I am feeling just like "dead". Yeah yeah, I know you must be thinking than what I am doing at this time ? Well writing this post ;-) . Actually my friend Neeraj had assigned me some work which I needed to check and start today, actually had to finish it by today too but its okay. So I was working on it. Except this strange tiredness , day was okay. Guys are extremely good but still are very  friendly! I love that session where lots of discussions happen and this is one of those only! So in that way, its going great. We just had to stop today when I faced an issue while giving a demo. I hope tomorrow , that issue would be resolved and I should be able to show the demo as promised. Let's see what happens?

Just now, before going to bed, I thought to check my email and I am just glad that I though to do so. I got a forwarded message upon upcoming V-Day from PravsJ. Have a read, Treasure Your Love Don't throw your back to love when it's already in front of you. Don't drive it away from you because if you do, Someday you'll think again, Why you let love fly away when it was once residing next to you? Treasure the one who loves you! It's not easy to find a person who loves you. Isn't it so true? I have said the same a gazzillion of times too that treasure your love and loved ones because its not every one who would get a loving heart, someone who loves you truly and madly. Don't be selfish enough to go after your career, study in abroad, looking for your benefits to ignore your love and losing that loving heart. I said it somewhere already but its worth mentioning here again, it may happen that time may teach you that the other person will have tears thinki...

I just got at my guest house. It was not a very pleasant journey. Part because I am not feeling well and part because of the stupid bus which I boarded while starting for my travel. I normally take a bus only as its very near to my home and within minutes I can be there rather than the train station which is much far. So as like always, I went to the bus stand with my dad and took the bus. Now, normally the Punjab Roadways is the bus service that I prefer, not because that they drive really fast but they are good and I feel like at home there. So when I got a bus from the same in the morning, I was like, okay that's good. I started quite early in the morning so I was assured that I shall make it on time( and I did too) to the airport. But its just that may be I expect things just too early and that's the problem with me! I am not sure but that's a kind of thing that always there is some problem with the tyre's of the Punjab Roadways buses or may be they don't like...

Yup, its the "that time" again when my bags are packed, tickets have come and I need to leave tomorrow once again. I am not sure that for how long I shall be gone this time as I have not been told about my return date so far. There are tons of things going on and I am just glad today I did something as the first person in North India. Let's see what happens with the travel now? I just have been told that there are some unhappy people so I am sure that things would be tough for me as well. Let's see what happens? 

There are some singers in Punjabi music which are having a distinct place, both for their voice and persona! And its a rare combo that one can have! Harbhajan Mann  is among those few ones who have been gifted by both the assets.  There are very few singers who really take care about lyrics, music and after that, the video of the song. Some choose very lousy kind of stuff , just to make some quick bucks. But there are still some who are really preserving both of the real punjabi music and culture and Harbhajan Mann is one of those rarest ones! His music is always soothing and having an essence of the real Punjab in it. He has always come up with music which can be heard both by young people like me as well as elderly people! From past time, he is also doing lots of Punjabi movies and has been extremely successful in it as well. In fact, his first movie, Jee Aayan Nu  which came 7 years back, broke all the records and changed the entire face of punjabi movies! Since ...

Yesterday, in the evening I was searching for ALG(Application Layer Gateway)  executable's information. Why? Well, it was another day of my digg-for-no-use attitude :-) . Actually, I saw this executable over my box and I couldn't find the relevance of it (I did find it afterwards though) so as being a techie, I started looking for it over Google(where else). And that was the moment where I was greeted with this message by google with every search result, This Site May Harm Your Computer ! WTH! I couldn't understand it at all so I searched for something which I was dead sure about, won't be harmful at all because if it is than half of the world is already  effected, Oracle.com! And guess what, google didn't do any partiality with Oracle even and it marked Oracle's corporate website and all other oracle related sites too harmful! Voila, now that's what I call "being really proactive"! Nonetheless, I called up my friend, Amardeep  to confirm that is ...

I just got it in my email. I guess all of them is so true. Have a read, smile and do let me know how it was,  I say no to gals,  they just don't listen. A friend in need is a pest indeed. Marriage is one of the chief causes of divorce. Work is fine if it doesn't take too much of your time. When everything comes in your way you're in the wrong lane. The light at the end of the tunnel may be an incoming train. Born free, taxed to death. Everyone has a photographic memory, some just don't have film. Life is unsure so always eat your dessert first. Smile, it makes people wonder what you are thinking. If you keep your feet firmly on the ground, you'll have trouble putting on your pants. It's not hard to meet expenses, they are everywhere. I love being a writer... what I can't stand is the paperwork. A printer consists of 3 main parts: the case, the jammed paper tray and the blinking red light. The guy who invented the first wheel was an idiot. The...

Some times, in a very short line(s) , a lot is being said. It just happened with me again that I read some thing which shook me. Its just so true. May be for some , it won't mean anything but for those who would be able to feel the sadness of this quote, they would surely understood it, the real meaning underneath it. I leave it on you to decide whether its really that good or not, but if you would ask me, yes it surely is! Have a read,                               Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live. So how's it?

A R Rahman doesn't need any introduction. He is one of those few musicians who like to break their own records and are ready to create something new. Though I don't listen to his music much but I respect him as being among the most versatile music directors. One more reason for not listening his music much is that I listen most of the time, Punjabi music only and as Rahman doesn't do much of it, so you do not find me playing him often. As I just said, I listen in most of my time, punjabi music only so its rather impossible that if there is a  Punjabi song,I would miss it. If, by any reasons, I would miss it , I have got many resources who would tell me that there is a new song in the town which is creating waves. The same happened this time when Sidhu  called me to tell that there is a new album of Rahman, Connections  which is out now and I must check its 4th song. I was like, why so, its a Hindi album. But to my amazement, Sidhu told me that this song is sung ...

I got back today morning only. But, since morning, I was busy in one thing or the other so couldn't sit and write. I was feeling so tired and as I am not feeling well, this added more to it. After about an hour or so since I came back, I was on bed. It doesn't normally happen but this time, I felt like that I am going to fall if I won't sleep for some time. About the trip, yes it went well. I was so much worried about it but, all were smiling and that's a good sign. Guys were great and I hope that they did enjoy the session and it was some what useful for them. In case you were on Mars and missed my blog, it was my birthday yesterday. As I was out of my home, my friends threw a small party for me. It was so nice to see that they ordered a cake for me and brought pizzas for the lunch. What more, there was an official email which was sent to everyone to come and be a part of this party. This was the 2nd cake which I was supposed to cut as I already did cut one in the mi...
