Isn’t it so different an experience, when all of a sudden people around you start speaking a language familiar to you. That actually is happening when I’m coming back to North India. Till this point of time, I didn’t care much what other people around me spoke (even in Hindi). But when I happened to stay at Kerala & Tamil Nadu and people around me spoke an unfamiliar language, I having no other work, tried to extract the sense by some English words and their gesticulation. Obviously this didn’t work much but, now when I’m sitting in a train destined to North India and people are talking in Hindi, I’m much alert of their conversation, just for one reason that there could be an unfamiliar-lingo situation.

In the course of exploring my fellow-passengers, I had to reveal that I’m a Commerce Graduate. My fellow-passenger was working in a bank and had some “Commercial Law” book in his hands (most probably he was preparing for some exam, though he didn’t reveal this). So he asked me, “Did you study the Negotiable Instruments Act 1881?” I replied in positive. ‘Okay, then explain me the difference between “Holder” and “Holder-in-due-course”’. I said that I would try and took his book. The book was in Hindi. The words for “Holder” and “Holder-in-due-course” in Hindi are “Dharak” and “Yathavidhidhari” respectively. So I went through the book for 15 minutes and tried to explain him. Irrespective of the fact that he understood the difference, it was a nice time pass.

July 26, Sunday, 0845 hours; Tring-Tring. I woke up. My friend Sandeep from Lucknow told me that he was going to take the first SIM-Cat and he also got my name registered for the test held at Gorakhpur (First SIM-Cat at IMS is free). I was left surprised, but as usual I having no other work, thought to explore the test. Hopefully, my old pencil and eraser were there in my old pencil-box which I used to carry in one-day examinations. The test was scheduled to begin at 1000 hours and I left the preparation exactly one year ago.

Thanks to my reading habits, I found the English section much easy. DI was so-so, thanks to some Operations sessions & the novel “The Goal”. So I scored 30 in English, 10 in DI and just 2 marks in Quants. I guess this is where overconfidence came into play. But those two and a half hours were pure fun; I mean I didn’t have any stress/tension as I took the test aimlessly and I think that this is one of the most optimum ways to take a test, but yes, preparation should also be there.

I watched the movie “Luck” with old friends and was lucky enough to not to get bored. One should leave the critical-thinking mind home while watching a bollywood flick. Yet, there were some logical inconsistencies which I can’t help but mention. In the scene where our “lucky” Imran Khan, in the course of igniting the cigarette-lighter for five consecutive times, tries to turn on the lighter for the fifth and last time, the lighter doesn’t turn on for the first some three seconds. Imran Khan just keeps it holding and it turns on all of a sudden. Now, how does a lighter work? The happening of ignition and the supply of gas should start simultaneously. How come the ignition took place three seconds after the cock was pushed.

Second scene pertained to the release of our Bhojpuri star Ravikishan who was awarded capital punishment. Just because the rope slipped and the court cannot make a person hung “twice”, he was “ba-izzat” released. But where was he hung in the first place? Did not the slipping of the rope obstruct the hanging procedure? Probably I should have left my mind at home.

Sandeep evaluates me "frankly"

Nikunj Barnwal , The name of a person whom I really respect and follows the most of the things which he does. Knowing him more than 3.5 yrs I try to judge him .He is not only my true friend but also my mentor.
At the age of 27 he has the same positive attitude n enthusiasm, which I think had in his child hood, to learn and grow. He doesn’t care about present but he want to make his future safe and prosperous. Having done the work for 2 yrs in government t org I have doubt that he has saved some money. The monthly salary is 7K he is having 10k per month expenses ,Luxurious mobile and P/c this shows that he doesn’t care about the money but want to use the technology to learn and grow .He uses the technology at optimum level.
He thinks information is a source of inspiration to learn, to search and to absorb that info.

I think he is fortunate enough to get such a generous and a humble parent who has fulfilled his all the genuine desire to grow .He has a strong and loyal friend circle. I think this the most important saving he made throughout life. I have no doubt that there is any city in this country where his loyal friends are not there. The best thing is that he maintains that relationship .it is hard to maintain but he believes in friendship so he has to make that.
If u tell him yr problem (Personal/academic) he ll try his best to solve that or ll tell the path to go through .where ever he goes he leaves his memories in the heart of colleges/friends think he loves 3 things most in his life those are technology, books and food. He has done proper investment on these things .mobile he uses, books he reads, food/snacks he eats. he is so generous and munificent that he gives the money to other friend by taking that money from other friends, Where we ll find a such friend. Some times it disturbs him but what can be done when those thing are in his gene and habit.
I m sorry to say but in this regard he has not learned any thing from his previous mistakes
. When ever u ll try to do new thing u'll be asked many times why this, why here etc.
He likes to find the faults and correct that at same moment without caring abt the feedback forms others. he seeks the opportunity to eat , to travel and to read .this is the reason which motivates him to grow .He appreciates the efforts of others without caring of result. of others.
Although he is a good planner but he fails sometimes. he fills the form but doesn’t go ot take the test. he thinks that any investment is fruitful but this doesn’t true always.
I lived with him for 2 months I found that I was criticizing him at that time but I think that he was right .I learnt a lot of things from him of which I ll always be grateful.
He knows how to use the people (I think this thing help him working as a manager.)
How he can get his work done. but the best thing is that he doesn’t leave that person after that who helped him any how..
Although he is nothing today but he tries that the people can get a lot of thing s from him whatever little good things he has. I have doubt that he has patience but at the age of this I would follow the same path what he has followed 
Being an average student, he is continue with his study, never lost the hope for better, this is the reason he is going to become some valuable for his friends, for his family and for himself.

I think his motto of his life is never ,never ,never give up .always think positive have the good attitude The success will be yours


I am also fortunate to have the friend like u.


All the best!!!!!!!!!!
