Thank You




They love you the most
And who are these ‘They’
Your parents Of course
That’s what you’ll say.

They took care of you
When you were small
Right there for you
As soon as you call.

You stood on your feet
They taught you to walk
You heard all their speech
And soon learnt to talk.

They reached you to school
They brought you back home
You said you were bored
They took you to roam.

They bought your many sweets
They gave you new toys
Darkness never scared you
When you heard their voice.

They taught you to read
They taught you to write
They brought you clothes
You looked smart and bright.

They answered with patience
All the questions you asked
They worked hard for you
As you slept and basked.

They taught you to cycle
As you started to grow
They were afraid you’ll leave them
But never would show.

They taught you good values
And put in their best
And it is time alone
That puts them to the test.

They told you be honest
Please don’t ever lie
You think they’re strict
And are trying to spy.

You passed out of school
And even through college
You think you are smarter
And have much more of knowledge.

You get a good job
And set off to work
You put in your best
And get your first perk.

You get back from work
And guess what you find
They are not there at home
But in the garden behind.

You set up the cake
Before they could return
They made you happy
Now it was your turn.

They enter the room
And these moments they cherish
Their struggles and troubles
Will now finally perish.

A YEAR GONE BYEE ....... Part I

Yes .It's a year gone by.I and you have been in degree college for a year now.
Ya . you also know that .But hasn't this been the best year of your life?
I don't know about you.But yes this was the best year in my life.I have changed a lot over the course of this year and the change has been for the BETTER and I know that.
First day of college was not at all a tense day 4 me ,unlike others I had friends in my college darryl (one of my closest friends at that time ,now my best friend) and Abhijeet also who was in junior college with me.
So i never had 2 try 2 search for friends .It was easier for me to interact and make new friends coz i had at least 1 partner with me and making friends is easier if u already have a friend with you.
The first person I spoke to in college was Milind, i met him at the time of admission and frankly speaking i was a bit scared when i met him coz he looked like a nerd with his thick glass spectacles ,and i thought i was in for a ride with nerds and that to for 4 years. huhhhh.

Then comes the first day of college.We had the Orientation in the SP Jain Auditorium.There again I met more school friends and was even more at ease now coz i told myself that "YOU ARE NOT ALONE".
After the orientation we were taken to a trip to the college with our guide Prof Sheetal(Our CP-2 prax teacher) who took us 4 a nice round where she was lost even more than us.It was as if she was seeing the coll 4 the first time.Then the ever so popular VJ comes to our rescue and tells us 2 forget whatever that madam told us.He actually thought we understood what she said that he told us 2 forget. LoL.
The trip was actually of no use coz it took all of us at least 3-4 days 2 get the coll map well known.I used 2 get lost quite a few times during the first month but somehow i used to land in class.

Now comes a very interesting part of our coll life our funny and knowledgeable teachers.LoL.

Prof Deven Shah was the only faculty member who impressed me on our first look at the faculty of IT.
I still remember the IT faculty in charge (i dnt remember her long name) telling us that our Computer Programming was IN THE SAFE HANDS OF RUPALI MADAM.And how true could she be.She completed our CP I portion when Arvind Dhar started.LoL.
The comes RD mam with her wonderful speech ablities and marvelous expressions that show surprise when we dont answer her questions.The best part is she still might be thinking we understood every word she spoke LoL. From the first lecture itself she started "ZED DIRECCHUN' which is passe now coz her latest invention was ZHIG ZHAG.But i respect that lady she kept us SLEEPING with OUR EYES WIDE OPEN.Jokes Apart .She loved her physics but we didnt .Not her fault and she was 100 times better than the person i am going to speak next about.
The great professor who hailed 4m Bhavans whom we hardly saw throughout the year.If he were a student he would have given Santosh a complex over his attendance.His speech seemed a new language to me; talking as if bees were stuck in his mouth.But the best part about him was he let us do what we were doing .So chalta hai.
Then we have our ever so popular HBV who acc 2 me should be teaching in "How to speak English "institutes as he is the most confident person speaking English even though he doesnt know and I have ever met a person with such innovative phrases.My favourite has to be "Rough It".But teaching-wise I would rate him higher than all teachers except Nida maam and may be Arvind Dhar Lol ROFL hahahahaha.
Now come the professor who I was the favourite student of.He is one of the most casual persons i have met .He never knew anything in the subject yet he taught us even without reading the book before.But this guy would have been a better preacher and I loved the debates he had in our class.He is an example of what recession can do to engineers.
Sangeeta madam another weirdo 4m SPIT Idont know how these ppl become teachers .Or who the hell interviews these ppl .Not only Sangeeta mam but many of our profs .I seriously respect their attempts to teach us .But how could u teach when u urself are so scared of the class.
Now Girish's favourite Thackeray maam.It is the other way round as well .She said "Yeh(girish) toh apna hi aadmi hai". Ya "you got the answer na right right " Ok now milind will also have to post comments on being the student she hated .
A special mention about the funny DMP who threatened to lock us in our class.LoL.I can't believe he thought we would actually get scared.This fool threatened me that he would put a red mark on my certificate from college if i played cards in the class again.
Then we have our Chemistry maam who was pregnant and called Kapil a south Indian hero and also landed teaching us only WATER the whole first sem.The funniest part she was a doctor by degree that means she was a PhD.No good or even bad points about her.
RUPALI-if u allow me 2 speak about her i would speak all day.But i criticized her enough whole year.but let me leave it here that i didnt like her teaching style at all.may be she needs 2 see hoe other ppl teach and then teach us.
Now my views of the best teachers
MN-Her teaching was very impressive in the first sem and even in the second sem it was good although she taught very fast may be bcoz the syllabus demanded.But I didnt like when she used 2 get angry with the class 4 small reasons.But thumbs up 2 her 4 being good 2 us whenever she was.
VJ-may be the most friendly teacher in FE .This guy was the worst sob master though.He'd keep trying his sad jokes even though no 1 laughed.But as a prof I have a lot of respect 4 him coz he put in the best 4m his side 2 make the boring subj interesting .Also put in his best efforts 2 prepare notes 4 us.So both thumbs up to him.
My favourite teacher of the First Year and I pray she teaches us in the next 2 years as well.NIDA MA'AM iI guess she was the best teacher teaching wise and also very helpful when we never understood certain things.May be we know her more coz she came 4 the IV.She simply rocks and is damn FUN LOVING.I remember she danced with the FE's first on that DJ nite.And 4 ppl who dnt know she is the BEST DUMB CHARADES PLAYER and even ANTAKSHARI player I have seen.She is very sporting and she also made good fun of PINCHA .My thumbs up to her and even a salute 4 been such a good TEACHER(She is a teacher in the true sense of the word).

I guess thats it about our teachers but I will speak next of something closer 2 me than this topic

Before Degree College


May 8,2008 ,was a life changing day 4 many a ppl.
If u dont know what it was, it was the MHT CET 2008.
The Physics Chem Paper got me tensed , to the core such that i was expecting 190 before the paper.
The expectation came down to 160.
But then came the magical Maths paper , my favourite subject and it didn't let me down.
And I was back expecting 175 once again.
And when the results came I was on top of the world or may be i reached the moon , thats because I had got 181 and my good friends darryl and raheel had got around the same score. So I thought we would get into the same coll. But there was a lot of disappointment as well .Many of my friends and I wont name any had got very bad ,nowhere close to their capabilities or even what they actually deserved.
But that is the BLACK-magic of MHT CET, just one bad day .One day changed so many lives and I really mean a many lives.

But ,fortunately darryl and me got into the same branch, in the same coll in the same CAP round and Raheel took Comp in Father Agnel, coz he didnt want 2 take a gamble in this CAP round thing coz It was no different from the MHT CET .

My school friends pursuing ARTS ans COMMERCE also did very well and every 1 always praised our group and i just love our group.
Some academic achievements of our group and my close friends of whom I am proud of.
NIRAV SHAH-ARTS TOPPER in MAHARASHTRA IN HSC 2008
DARRYL D'COSTA -91.5% in HSC ,178 IN MHT CET
RAHEEL KAZI -91.33% IN HSC ,175 IN MHT CET
SAMSON(yehhhh thats me) -91% in HSC ,181 in CET
PARAG -87.7% IN HSC (COMMERCE)
MAHESH PAREKH ABOVE 150/200 IN CPT WHICH HAS NEGATIVE MARKING
and many more how the hell i am bcome so dumb i keep forgetting.

But yes i personally felt many ppl haven't performed even close 2 their capabilities and I would shy away 4m saying I expected and still expect a lot 4m Nimesh and Neelesh.

Finally all friends get into the some coll in the other .Majority satisfied with what they got but all awaiting the first day of coll. Now lets see what happens on the first day of coll and what actually my coll is 4 me .
AND YES
X E ROCKSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bye 4 now c ya later

My Inspirational Place

Buddha' inspirational place was under a tree,but mine is somewhere else.Lets see where exactly.

When I used to hear about many scientists discovering things in the bathroom I had a some idea as to the potential in this least spoken room of the house and the marvels it could produce in addition to the relief it cud produce.
I took inspiration 4m the bathroom I don't really know when.But I was always a bathroom singer.But I really don't know when this bathroom singer turned into a bathroom thinker or rather a bathroom planner.
I had found something new to do in the bathroom that was to plan my day out and this serves the purpose in todays BUSY world where no one has time for family where friends eat up more time and know more about me than my family would know.When my father would tell me to go to the election office or RTO to get a license it sounds like work that is to tedious but when you hear your friends getting their election cards or better still their Driving License it becomes more of a routine job than a WORK type of job.
Coming back to my favourite room ,the bathroom had become a place where I would plan out my day and even the next day probably or may be even tentatively the week. And yes that helps a lot .When you think in the bathroom you utilize your time in creating some new ideas along with the daily creation which you don't want to see or see again.
The advantages of this habit (yes now it has become a habit):My day goes on smoothly reducing the time I take to make decisions .It helps to be prepared 4 things u don't expect as you are almost sure of your schedule that day and try 2 see if you can fit that plan into your schedule.And when you start following this habit you get so engrossed that you might "drop the matter" even without knowing because you are so busy and that's a good thing when your stomach is upset.
It might sound disgusting but it is a fact and it really keeps your mind away 4m the thing you actually come 2 the bathroom to do.
The only disadvantage I have found is you take more time in the bathroom than usual because many a time you get drenched into the world of thinking.

So I strongly recommend you develop this habit coz It makes the natural daily process an ENJOYABLE EXPERIENCE.

(And yes I thought about this post in the bathroom itself)
Bye Take Care And Enjoy Your New Habit.

How to make license without agent?

How to make learners license in Mumbai without an agent(Driving school)

First of all this post should help all those who want to save their money and make their license without an agent i.e. a driving school.Now people may think that it is a very difficult and tedious task.So there are almost 90% people going to driving schools for getting their license and these driving schools charge any where from 700 to 1300 for your learners license depending on whether your license permits bikes or cars or both.
But here is something that will interest you.I spent only Rs 30 to get my learners license for "bike with gear".And if anyone wants license even for cars you have to pay only rs 60.Because the RTO charges only Rs 30 per class of vehicle.
Now lets begin with the process.And I am explaining the shortest process which would take a maximum of only 45 minutes.But to find out this process I spend 220 minutes because I used the try try till you succeed method.
First go to the RTO site and register online.The link for the site is
http://www.mahatranscom.in/LernerLicence.aspx

Filling the form is easy as there is nothing tough asked as long as you know the names of yourself and parents.Then you select a suitable date for an appointment at the RTO.
Take a printout of the form you have filled and then its time for preparing the documents necessary for verification.
Now the documents required are

ADDRESS proof:Life insurance policy Or electricity bill Or telephone bill Or Election Card Or electoral roll or Passport

NOTE:RATION CARD is NOT accepted as ADDRESS PROOF.

AGE Proof: Birth certificate Or Leaving Certificate of school or college(Attested) because the original is never with us.

NATIONALITY proof: if your leaving certificate has mentioned that your nationality is Indian you dont require any other document or else for those its not given necessary Citizenship certificate
ALL ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS HAVE TO BE TAKEN ALONG WITH A XEROX COPY NOT NECESSARILY ATTESTED BUT GET IT ATTESTED TO BE ON THE SAFER SIDE.

Now on the day of submission: Reach RTO at time specified on the printout of the form submitted online.

1. PROCESS OF VERIFICATION:(Different for Online forms and forms available for manual filling)
First you have to get your documents verified by a police officer in charge.Usually there is a separate section for online forms and THIS IS THE BENIFIT OF SUBMITTING THE FORM ONLINE.If you fill the form on your own then you have to stand in a long queue to get your documents verified.
(For RTO Andheri:Section F)

2.PAYING PROCESS:After your documents are verified ask the officer who verified your documents what is the next step.He will hopefully guide you to the right person(or section) and to confirm just ask anyone where the money has to be paid.Once you pay the money you will get a receipt stapled to your form.
(For RTO Andheri:Section E behind side)

3.DATA FEEDING: Now ask the person whom you paid the form as to where shoukd you get the DATA SUBMITTED and please specify that you have an online form because once again there is a separate section for the online forms.The data feeding process is a little time consuming but you cant help.
(For RTO Andheri:Section A)

4.PHOTO AND SIGNATURE VERIFICATION:Again ask the person who fed your data to the computer as to what is the next step.He will tell you that you have to go to some section of the RTO "Photo lene Ke liye".Here you have to simply follow the instruction of the person at the desk and verify your data properly.
(For RTO Andheri:Section A)

5.LEARNER"S TEST:Now the last part and the easiest part of getting your learners.You will see one section of the RTO where tests are being conducted.Just ask any policeman "learners ke liye test kaha pe hai".He will send you inside a room in which many people are waiting to give their test and you have to just select option A B or C as you see the question.
(The sample test is available online on the RTO site)
(For RTO Andheri:Section E)

Then IF YOU PASS THE TEST YOUR JOB IS DONE.
They will return your form to you and tell you to come 2 days later and collect your LEARNERS LICENSE .
I think thats it.Its very simple.I hope this helps those who require the necessary info.
Any queries please post.
If I have the answer I will surely reply.
BYE AND ALL THE BEST.
