Aman's Blog....

I couldn't, actually I should say, I didn't write anything since I came here. There were two reasons for it, one and the foremost important one, I am getting too much exhausted when I am finishing my session. In the last 2 days, I just got back and went to bed immediately because there was enormous pain in my legs and sheer tiredness was there. All I did was, got back, change and slept. I am not sure that why I am feeling so much of tiredness? I guess, the after effects of too much traveling( and too frequent too) are becoming visible now. I am not sure that there is any other reason or not for this much exhaustiveness. There is nothing much going on. We started with the program with little technical issues related to the setup. I am not sure why people who are responsible to do the setup, don't take it seriously. Its almost every time that I have to come out and tell someone , hey I am getting interruptions, issues in the network and so on , please fix it. And as soon as

I am leaving tomorrow. Yes, its Holi, the festival of colors tomorrow but I need to go for an assignment. I just hate this thing when I need to travel on that day where the rest of the world is sitting at home and enjoying and I just wonder( with a lot of anger) how the heck this kind of schedules get actually finalized? Anyways, I need to travel and that's not going to change. Though the module is not tough but I have a small doubt somewhere in the heart, reason for which I can't mention. Let's see what happens. Pray for me and wish me luck. Fortunately, I am going to a city where I don't get a chance to go very often and have got couple of friends there so I am hoping that I shall be able to see/meet them all and spend some time with them. I wish you all a very happy Holi. Where ever you are, enjoy the day with your family and friends with lots of colors and sweets. May god make your lives as colorful as the colors of Holi. Happy Holi!! Update: John Scott, the

As I mentioned in this this post of mine that I am not feeling so well mentally. Though the accident's wounds are also giving a lot of pain but somehow, that seems to be negligible in front of some which are more deeper than on the body. I was asked a question from some one who commented over a post of mine. I believe the answer of his question is far too big to be covered as a fellow comment only. I shall try to write the reply of mine of that question very soon. I am not at all a poet/never was and I doubt I ever will be one even but at times, I do sit and write some loosely coupled pieces which ,I am not sure can be actually called true poetry or not. Whatever they mean to others, they mean a lot to me. If you think that they no where stand near to what is quality poetry than you are absolutely right and no where you will find me claiming them to be one even! Its the same which is true for my posts even. They are not to change this world but are the reflections of my thoughts

I am into reading a lot. Though most of the times, I am reading books related to Oracle technology only and even in that too, about database stuff. But besides Oracle too, I love to read novels, story books, comics, love stories,  biographies and just anything which I find interesting. I should be honest while saying all this that I haven't read much outside Oracle's domain from last few months. I do have couple of books lying in my almirah but I hardly carry them with me while traveling. I had heard people talking about Kindle2 a lot but I never bothered to check what exactly it is. I knew though that its a e-book reader but that was all what I knew about it. And it can't be actually called knowing about a gadget when you don't know how it works, what it does, what are its specs right? So my geeky mind gave that me that tingle last night and I decided to finally have a look at this device more closely and I am just so glad that I did so. Kindle is a fantastic effort

I am not sure but I am not feeling so well. No this is not due to the accident that I had met just few days ago. I am not actually sure what exactly is the cause of this sickness which is not out worthy but is inside. I have got tons of questions in the mind which demand answers from me all the time but I don't have any because, those questions did arise because of the acts of others. I am trying to keep myself busy but that even is not helping. I am not going much over the Oracle Forums too from last few days, just don't feel like going there. May be I need to travel, a change of place, even for just few days too may be will helpful. I am leaving on this Wednesday so hope this would lessen the pain a bit. Let's see.

I meet with accidents all the time. And whether you believe or not, most of the times, its not my fault most of the time, just like today. I am not sure that why it does happen with me only? I am sure it must be happening to others as well, but I guess, accidents love me a little too much, hmm now that's not so good right? Okay so here I was, driving very nicely and it must be worth mentioning, very slowly. I learnt this lesson in a very hard way that one must not drive fast. I was once coming back to home late night after making a call to someone and I was driving REALLY fast! I normally have a good control but on that day, my bike got into a small hole over the road and there I was, flying nicely in the air. I haven't told about this to anyone yet but it did teach me a lesson that drive slowly, at least it will ensure that you will reach to your destination rather than never! Anyways, so I was driving on a normal speed. I had to pay my hand phone bill and the customer care

Okay so I got tagged by Puja . Its the first time that I have been tagged.So here goes 50 untold secrets of mine. Have a read about them here, 1) Were you named after anyone? Well no, at least I have never been told anything like that. But my mom wanted to name me as Aman only which means Peace. Its a Punjabi word and its not a very common word. You won't find many with this name. So I wasn't named after anyone but still got a  special name ;-) . 2) When was the last time you cried? Hmm , now that's a tricky one. Normally people(especially gals) think that guys don't cry but they do. I cried last time on this birthday of mine thinking about some things which happened in that month and on the same dates, 3 years ago. 3) Do you like your handwriting? Nope! But hey, I use this keyboard so I am not bothered and I guess, others won't be too! 4) What is your favorite lunch meat? I am a vegetarian. So pass :) .  5) Do you h

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. When

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
