A day in Saree

Today finally the day has come when I am in Saree. The saree is printed in light mehran colour with  airforce blue colour border in it. Saree is my officially dress code which i have to wear now onwards, but carrying it daily  is not going to be easy task for me.

While getting ready for office I hardly take 10 minutes but today it took around 30 mins to get ready for office.

Being a green horn in this field i believe the day going to be a bit intricate for me.

This year we’re celebrating the 80th anniversary since the first Russian Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin was born! In my native city Saratov we have  major celebrations devoted to this event as Yuri Gagarin is connected with Saratov in many ways. He studied and then first flew in the air in this city. He also landed  nearby after his great flight. We’re really proud of all  these facts!

Who was Yuri Gagarin?

Yuri Gagarin was a 27-year-old Soviet Air Force pilot when he made his first and only trip into spa

My First Group

2346792349?profile=original

I couldn’t describe it, but I wanted to share it.  This time, I failed to write the precise words that would give a vivid picture of what I truly felt.  I was stunned, fell short of words, too happy, or maybe too excited.  Oh, I don’t know, but I really felt grateful as I am, always. 

I guess this was what others felt when they published their first blog after being dormant for a very long time. 

Guess what!  The first group I created yesterday after having stayed in EC for almost 4 years, has bee

Zero = 0

You are living in two dreams. One belongs to you and the other does not. In both dreams you feel that everything you see is real, as a matter of fact it deceives your feeling. All you see around you including you yourself are really not formed of “matter”. By “matter” here I mean it is in terms of absolute reality. In the dream that belongs to you, you can do anything regardless whether it is right or wrong and you will not receive any reward or punishment for the deed. But in the other dream wh

I quit my job today

I knew when I agreed to take the job in Longgang, Shenzhen, Guongdong, China I was taking a risk.  Red Flags had arisen early.  Supposedly hired in early June of 2013, I heard nothing on the paperwork I needed to obtain my Visa.  I finally contacted the "Managing Director" in early July and was told that the Chinese Government was moving slowly.  I waited.  At the end of July I was asked to come obtain an F Visa instead of continuing to wait on a Z Visa (Proper work Visa).  I was told they would

Colors of time

    Do you know what the colors of time are? When the seasons change, each has its own featured color. All tiny green leaves are growing and tell you that spring has come. Summer arrives with golden sunshine and red flowers, and in Vietnam it is called flower for students, because it blossoms just in summer and it warns of the end of the long school year. Yellow falling leaves are an absolute sign of autumn, the most beautiful season of the year with little cold breezes and thin fog. Early in th

We are beautiful only when we are loving ourselves the way we are because in today world everybody will try to make you something of what you are not, so constantly following the way you want is not easy, Life is very short to be somebody else than to play your role yourself.

Agony

This is second of the three future blogs I promised in my blog "Catchy Blog Titles" :

Agony

Whatever I have for her is hidden in the far corner of my heart.  The worshipper’s prayer is not for any again, it doesn’t have any wish, the moth when attracted to the candle; he doesn’t have any expectation from the flame.  He is just attracted to it, just for its love.  I am burning,  burning in love.  Who gets the benefit of light of my burning is not my concern.

I was sad like the extinguished light.  M

Writing Challenge....Life Hacks!

First of all, It is a new way of expression for me. So, I want to say thanks for giving me a chance to learn a new thing. Of course, there are some Life hacks in my life also, but I am not sure whereas I would be able to write down properly or not! Okay, lets try.
