DK : Born:Hindu; Brought up:Punjabi ; Follow:Sikh & now...Married ;)


Good Morning. A very warm welcome to all of you and my newborn friend 2015!


With the dawn of 2015,almost everyone is trying to summarize their 2014 in tens. There are top 10  cities, Top 10 movies, Top 10 roles, Top 100 Women of 2014 (10 would be too less ;)) there are even funny one's like "Top 10 Terrible Yet Hilarious Nipple Tattoos" , so it's everywhere but if i have to summarize my 2014,I will be able to summarize it in one word "HECTIC".

Started with the "Star of the Year award" (Sorry , but i love flaunting ), then my first holidays with friends to Go Goa Gone (Hard to believe , but i never went out of station with only friends till then), then Roka, Courtship period, Ring Ceremony,Marriage, Vaishno Devi,Honeymoon to Bali  & .................................That's It !

Ab ho toh gyi shaadi, after this my events are over,its OUR Events. First Bday,First Diwali,First Karva Chauth, First Month Anniversary, First time me & Heena shouted on each other for vacating washrooms, my first cockroach trick to scare and blackmail her..so you can yourself figure out 2014 has been a roller coaster ride.

Finally, we closed an year on relaxing note by watching "PK" & I must confess both Raj Kumar Hirani & Aamir khan have struck a chord with millions of confused Indian and deserve a standing ovation (Thoda Zyada ho gya ?, don't feel like getting out of blanket,koi na...). They have raised a question which we all come across Day In & Day Out  " So here I am giving my take on one of the most sensitive topic  "Religion".

I am born in a Punjabi family , what do we mean by Punjabi family :
Do we belong from Punjab ? No,
Are we Sikh  with Mother Tongue Punjabi ? No,
Do we live in Punjabi Bagh : No ;),
So exactly what do we mean by Punjabi :
For me being a Punjabi means having Aloo k Paranthe & Lassi in  breakfast,
it means surrounded by Beautiful Punjabi Girls,white as milk (for us everything comes down to food),
 it means "please yeh Rs1100 rakh lo as shagun and later on saying kamaal hai yaar ek baar me pakad liye " and
lastly I have heard these beautiful Punjabi girls are known to be very difficult mother in laws  (remember Two States), so that's how I define Punjabi.


Coming back to religion,in spite of being in existence for 16 years,I was not sure of my god Vaishno Mata,Krishna,Shivji, Ganesh Ji, we followed all.
During my boards exam time i once went to gurudwara,asked for 80% in boards and promise to visit daily if I get a one , I managed 82% , similarly my brother was good looking but unable to manage a girlfriend so i asked him to come along and he managed to get a one in 2 months .
It's been years now, that i have been asking for big and small things and getting them so we continue to visit it daily from last 10 years. Now the question in spite of following it for 10 years, am i sikh ? No because i have less hairs left on my forehead, i shave once in 2 weeks & don''t eat non-veg.

More recently I visited a "Mata Ji " jinhe chowki aati thi (Chowki is hindi term, there is no translation as angrezo ko nhi aati :))  , I was first apprehensive, how can god visit someone at a stipulated time but she told me things which were true and  I was surprised to hear.

So with due respect to all the religions I recommend  follow it but not blindly , try to have sense behind it.
Sikh wears turban because it acted as a helmet during fight,
fasting is important because it detoxifies our body,
not drinking or having non-veg on Tuesday will ensure that you eat veg diet and prohibit alcohol at-least once in a week,
Kisi bhi bhagwan ko mere nails kaatne se or shave karne se problem kyu hogi,
Karva Chauth is an effort to  make your wife slimmer,
and my favorite one : as long you drink once in 2-3 months behind closed doors within your limits and not creating nuisance it's okay ;).

Smoking, though, should be banned in all religions and all countries because its very addictive,harmful,readily available and  my father expired on 1st of Jan itself because of it.

To Summarize in a country like India where people do not have food and shelter having monumens in gold,marbles and granite will not help, we should devote that money to people who need it (not Beggars) , those who work throughout day to make our life comfortable but still have to sleep on pathways.Let's help each other and god will bless us all

Nanak naam chardi kala tere bhane sarbat da bhala : Blessings for everyone

Twade teh twade parivar nu naye Saal di lakh Lakh wadahiyan.


PS: I myself Visit Gurudwara everyday, temple once a month,Church every Christmas & Mosque every time my friend is visiting a one , so I believe in all religions and have an opinion that they are all just different names.Just like I am called Dewank, Minky, Micky, Dabba & most common: Dewank-er by strangers but the person is only one.

Barfi ke side effects.

It’s been quite some time since I wrote a blog, so by looking at the title you must be thinking Dewank pagal ho gya h, health k upar lecture de rha h . Movie freaks must be thinking that because of my limited knowledge of Hindi Cinema, I have combined two diff movies 'Barfi ' & 'Shaadi k side effects' .

But Punjabi's and particularly those who are married know and understand what it means to eat ‘Barfi’ during the engagement process. For those who do not know, eating barfi means both parties mutually agree and things could be taken to the next level. Trust me,Sometimes these unsaid rituals of engagement & marriage could be fun.


I remember, when we went to see ‘Bhabhi’, Bhai liked her a lot and in order to convey his intentions, offer karte hi, he took barfi ka sabse bada wala piece.  But all 3 bhua were in wicked mood, so in order to tease bhai, they grabbed Namkeen (Remember No Sweets No Agreement :) ) and did not allowed anyone else to have barfi until bhai was scared.  While Bhai was getting nervous & disappointed, they got up, offered the sweet to couple and blessed them lovingly. Everyone knew the plan so they burst into laughter & Bhai !!, we all  tease him on this even today.

It’s been more than 2 years since that happened  and I never imagined something of this sort would happen with me but here I am writing my own experience on  ‘Barfi, Shaadi ka interview and its side effects'

Before Rokka :)

 Bhabhi ko Jeans pehni padti hai 

It might surprise you that while looking for a girl for me, the most important topic for everyone was ‘what bhabhi is wearing ’. While we were getting ready , nobody bothered to ask (even once :)) what I am wearing but at least 15 ladies  ( including those jo Saree se niche nhi utarti ) asked Bhabhi ke 'beta Western pehen k jana  unhe bhi toh bta lage hum modern hai ’.

Bhabhi , She was confused to see aunties, who can make her wear Saree even on the Birth Anniversary of their dog (thoda zyada exaggerate ho gya :)) are asking  her to wear western but she liked  the idea and followed  them happily.

Not that I was jealous of this, rather I was happy to see my traditional family suddenly converting into a modern one but yaar koi ladke ko bhi dekh lo.

Bio Data, Telephonic round, Group interview, face to face

I got into this marriage process around 5-6 months back and was offended when someone asked to send my biodata on their mail. I thought ‘Is this an interview? why should I prepare  a one ?’  but as I grew, I realized that this process is also formalize now. It begins with preparing & sharing biodata, followed by telephonic round where families question each other (caste, creed, color, community, no of pets :)), then there is a face to face round where families eat and enjoy and couple is asked  to  sit in a corner and asked to decide their life in 15 mins conversation (come on yaar 15 mins me toh aap shirt/dress bhi nhi decide kar sakte) , finally there is group round for guy where girl’s family scrutinize him on Salary, future plans, Job Responsibilities, color of his boxers :) & guys family scrutinize girl on Shade of her lipstick :), culinary skills, walking style, mark of that pimple and what not !!  


After Rokka :)

 2-2  Mummy

Throughout life you are taught you can only have one mother though fathers can be many (2,3,4…. :)) but mother can only and only be one . But this is the beauty of the marriage, it can bring your world upside down; you suddenly have two mothers and trust me both pampers you equally. So right after eating that cute subtle burfi get ready for having two mothers in your life. I know it’s difficult, it’s been 4 days I am trying to call her mother, mummy :)  .
At the same time you should  understand it’s very very important, Imagine how you would you feel if your fiancĂ©e or your wife calls your mother ‘Aunty’ after marriage, sounds uneasy right. So Guys like it or not you should start making an effort from day one.

Star of the Year 

Since the day i joined my org , i always wanted this award but finally when i got nominated this time, i found myself competing with my own lead and another senior guy who has an amazing rapport with our manager and is known for his impeccable working style. So even before the race begin i had a feeling that i had very meager chance that i would win but on Wednesday (a day after my rokka ceremony)  when i reached office i was elated to receive the Star of the Year. Even though we have met lately but i believe i owe her this,its because of her (Read Lady Luck :)) that i got this award.


Trust me the entire process of looking for a girl is so tedious but when I look at her and more importantly, us together, I feel it’s completely worth it & it would not have been possible without you (and those cheat codes k mummy, papa, didi and bhaiya ko kaise ptana hai ;))



P.S. : Heena works with Bhai (in Fluor ) & we have been to same tuition while we were in school , never thought that 10 years later we will decide to marry but woh kehte hain na jo hota hai ache h k liye hota hai sahi kehte hai (Courtesy : Abhey Deol 1:40 ki Last Local : Look at time, i have published the blog :) )






Cheers !!

Believe it or not: I just had a Threesome in office

Sep 27th is and will always remain close to my heart. No, it’s not the birthdate of my girlfriend, neither had I, my first kiss today, it’s far bigger than that.   I had today, what I would call as the first “Threesome” of my life. Those who are close to me or follow my blog know that I just make fancy titles to grab attention but I can’t help it yaar , I am marketing guy and these gimmicks are in my blood now . So, if you haven’t guessed already, Threesome here stands for “Three Awesome years in SDG”.

Those who are from SDG may find my last statement much more annoying than gimmick of fake title, you must be thinking, with almost everyone cribbing about “We are not doing a real business analyst job”, “We don’t have a domain” , “ We don’t follow methodologies for project mgmt ” , how can I say last three years ,“Awesome” . I would still stand on my statement and would say, they have been more than awesome not because of the work I do, but because it gave me an opportunity to meet so many awesome people in my life, and believe me or not, 20 years down the line you may not be able to count how many BRDs you made, but you can definitely recall the best people you have met in your life.

So here I am quoting some of the best people I have met on this journey, while some of them are still with me, others have went to new pastures but I must admit , I am lucky to “Have  all of you” in my life and would cherish it always.

Foreplay: It all started with Obish Kumar, he is the culprit who encouraged me to join SDG. I cleared my interview and was in no mood to join, I thought it must be small org like my existing one and I did not wanted to join mid-level org anymore, so even after receiving offer letter I did not resigned in Prospecta. 1 week was left for joining and I told him: “I have an offer from some company called SDG but I am not joining” . He said “I also went there,mera clear nahi hua, it’s a good company , GE se kuch kuch hai.And on top of that, ek bandi hai with American accent bhot sahi, you should consider ”. That’s when I gave it a deeper thought and even after having offer for 3 weeks, resigned only 1 week before my joining and was absconding from Prospecta  hehehehe. 

 Next few lines are all about the  people I met before I joined SDG and would like to say few words about how I perceive and feel about them today three years later.


Shiva  (The American Accent): I guess “Shiva” was the one Obish spoke about, with gorgeous accent and command over the language, she is one person who can surprise you anytime with her  down to earth persona and  “Hindi Dialogues” :) :) 

Varun  Tandon (The Samsung Lover) : I met him on the day of interview , laxman asked for Resume’s and he was first one to jump, I noticed laxman is keeping it upside down, so I gave mine in the last. He was so frustrated to realize he would be among last few and I was unable to resist my laugh. Even today I tease him on this and believe it nobody ….,nobody in this world can beat his appetite for Patties and his love for Samsung phone (His phone broke on 4th day after buying and was never replaced, he has been abusing Samsung in diff languages since then !!)  

Manas : Jena was a friend, the only one I knew from Amity, In fact I called him only to ask, if I should join,he said “there is no learning but Project Manager is cool”. See…  he was a great guy, but in office it was different ,  I heard people sayin  “If Manas got 20% we should get 35%” ”  I never believed it , I would still say he is an amazing resource and  better than most of us.  

Rohit Verma: He took my second round of interview with paan in his mouth ,I did not liked him at all. But when I joined SDG, I realized he is a gem of a person and a thorough professional, even today we all admire his work and approach . Moral of the story: Never judge a book by its cover.

Anurag Sir : He took my final round and  It’s always pleasure to meet him in person (in fact I met him today only after long ),there are few things in which you can never beat him: Knowledge of anything under the sun, Login hours, size of burgers and posts on Yammers J J  


So this was it!! This was a journey before I joined; it’s just the beginning so keep cruising. 

Awesome: The first year was all about reading newspapers, novels and Nesters

Mahua Madam: Sense of humor is a rare phenomenon in females, they like others to make them laugh but she is definitely an exception, if she is in a room you can never stop laughing. I am lucky to have heard some of her humor speeches and had my share of stomachaches.

Vishal  (Beyond IIMs): Look at him and you can’t say that he is married and a father of a sexy rockstar (1 year old Veer Arjun ). Gelled hair, formal dresser he is a perfect sales guy who can sell a Sanitary Napkin to a guy, formulating its multiple use. He is one of those Filthy Rich people who don’t want to sit and enjoy an empire but want to create a new one.

Raghu (The eligible bachelor): Raghu also met us during our training period. Tall, Dark and Handsome, Raghu personifies the forthcoming   Telangana state, he is the one who enlightened me how demographics of two states are completely different. True Veteran in political knowledge and a government domain expert. :):)


Sirish (The Momo King) : How much food an average man needs to survive 3 meal and 2 cups of coffee, Sirish Majumdar is an exception, he can have 9 meals and 23 cups of coffee and every time with a different friend. Such was the  charm of Sirish majumdar, people even outside of SDG used  to come and take him out for momos, bread pakora’s , samosa and what not,but looking at his built everyone used to wonder ki itna khana jata kaha hai . Coming to the point, he is in Paris currently and has promised to bring me a beautiful French girl as a Gift.

Meetali (Ladki ya Ladka ) : Meetali was my lead when I joined SDG, usual people take 2-3 meetings to open up but meetali is wired differently, all it will take her 10 mins to know and to make you feel comfortable. Clients ko “Bottle me utarna  ” toh koi inse sikhe. Lastly the way she used to call everyone “Ladki” or “Ladke kya  chal rha hai ” has become definitely become a fad,at least in SDG

Bineeta (keep Trying): Bineeta Kundu is the only girl in this whole wide world (or Lakhimpur )  “Jo apni hi Shaadi pe saari baraat k saamne “Desi Girl” be dance kar sakti hai”. Her Laugh is so stunning that you take her to a comedy movie and entire public will not be watching a movie but you. But like every cloud there is a silver lining, there are things like Logic, Queries and talking about Try (especillay after Ranjhana ) that you can’t beat her in. 

Sir Ravi Kashyap: Project Manager is a Person who thinks nine women can deliver a baby in One month.Developer is a Person who thinks it will take 18 months to deliver a Baby BUT Ravi is a person who can produce 9 babies in one month and can party for rest 80 Months. My first team mate and a true veteran in technology and languages.  

Baba Alok Nagpal:  Time and again its been proved that a good mentor is very important to  take it to the next level and Alok Nagpal is one such mentor . When I was new in SDG and was tangled around the role, one beer with Alok was enough to straight it out. As time passed I realized I was no exception there are so many people (read Girls !) who love to spend time with him. Awesome Orator , he can be a motivational speaker Any Day!!!

This is a first post for the series of three, i will write "Twosome and "Threesome" about you all, only if you enjoy and like this one so keep me posted....

THE FOOTBALL RULE: FOR GIRLS ONLY

Just by looking at my Facebook page, anyone can make out that whatever little readership I have, has got more girls than guys.

Though there are some guys also who support me whole heartedly but I would rather prefer to make their Girlfriends/Wives  happy (Gaurav, Amit, Ankit,Rahul…  heheheh :) ) . So this blog is to payback all the beautiful ladies out there who really inspire me to write and get going (To name some Anjali, Ashema ,Dolly,Harjot, Megha, Priya,  Reetika …… in alphabetical order to avoid any confusions ;)).

Okay.....,so If you notice my blog closely , you will realise that my posts can majorly be bifurcated into two types, one in which there is a plot and i am getting slapped (Love Story  of BC,FC; Will you marry me etc. :)) and another in which I offer some Gyaan (How to get Europe out of recession etc.), I am afraid this one belongs to the latter category.

 Don’t take me otherwise, I have NO INTENTION/CAPABILITY   to offer  gyan  to any girl in this world (Maine marna hai kya !! Even my 3  year old Niece can beat me in a conversation ), this blog is just to highlight how guys are wired , Trust Me , I am not here to favor Guys, in fact if you think guys are worthless.I would take it a step further and say , they are useless but unfortunatley we are all driven by one Classic theory, in my words I call it .

                             “THE FOOTBALL RULE
 It may sound too simple but honestly if you really want to understand guys just go outside and watch any game guys play/enjoy. Though, being my personal favorite,I recommend soccer but Hockey,handball,basketball they are all the same and played like this.
 In the beginning only one Guy has the ball and that is decided by destiny (remember Toss!!) so  he takes this ball out in the field , spend some time with it, take few steps with it and shows it off to the World 
However, soon as there is some pressure , sometimes a better player than him,sometimes peers shouting , sometimes the ball itself demanding some care, he starts losing his nerves. The ball now becomes a responsibility for him, he start choking, starts looking for other opportunities and  in hurry don’t even realize when the ball is gone in someone else’s hand.

For a moment,he feels relieved  nobody is there to bother him, nobody is there to curb his freedom , he don’t have to run in a specific direction (Goal Post) in short he is Khula Sand but just few steps alone and he realizes- he has committed biggest mistake of his life, nobody is actually bothered now where the hell is he going, nobody is even looking at him or bothered if  he is coming back home or not.
It is then that he starts getting restless and  realize that the ball was his life, so he runs, he runs for his life, to get the ball back, he follows it, he chases it, he fights for it, he shouts for it,becomes devdas !! but sometimes it’s really too late , the other guy, usually the experienced one, has already taken it to the goalpost (Read Marriage!!).

At that point not only him but every guy around starts feeling envious of this lucky bastard ,even if its their own team mate,they realize that, if they could have the guts to take this to the end, they would have been the winner !!!

On the other hand if you look at  Girls, right from their childhood, they love playing with Barbie’s, Teddy’s, Princess Toys  and usually are very possessive about their toys ,they don’t like believe in kicking and then running after them.
They like to keep their belongings close to their heart, even when they are sleeping.(Lucky Stuff Toys :)


So, I would like to keep it short and say , If you are dating a guy,remember he will first chase you until he gets you , once you are there,he will stop valuing you  and will start running after another balls but the moment, he realizes that YOU ARE GOING SOMEWHERE ELSE,he will start running after you again. So if really want a guy to be with you throughout your life,don't spend all your time with them,let them wander only then they will realize your importance and
if you are a guy , first of all  “Saale Maine mna kiya the padne k liye but tum saale sudhroge nhi neways girls like to keep their belongings closer to their heart, so if you really want to impress her,be around when they really need you  and then who knows when you get lucky to be that stuff toy she want to hug for rest of her life.

Cheers !!!

Perfection, over-perfection, Aquarian.

I can safely say that I have spent 70% of my life with Aquarius (as my real brother and some of my closest friends are Aquarius) and I know them IN and Out. Let me try and get into detailed personality traits of Aquarius.
1. There is only  to work and that’s Hard work :In any organization just pick an employee who spends maximum time in office and I can bet he/she would be Aquarius, when it comes to number of hours spent in office nobody can beat Aquarius (Read Rahul Jaiswal and Varun Tandon my colleagues) and when I say that,I can quote figures, I have seen them working from 18-36 hours in a go!!.So if you are an HR or own your company and you like people spending more working hours in office, hire Aquarius and they would beat your expectation.
2. Man/Women of Few Words
Most of the Aquarius I have came across believe in doing things than talking about it, they believe if you have an idea or work, don’t keep in To-Do list, do it right away. They believe talking too much about a thing is a waste of time, so most of the Aquarius prefers to be part of operations team than strategy.
3.  One Man/Women Army
They are firm believer of the fact that there is nothing called smart work, they believe work hard (at least for the first time) and when the next time you do it, then you can do it more smartly. This further implies that when working in a team, they don’t want things to be delivered till the time they are PERFECT and if other team mates are not willing to go that extra mile, they will take an ownership and will do their task as well. But things delivered to client should be nothing but perfect.

Personally 

1. One Woman Men/One Man Women 
Trust me if your Boyfriend/Girl Friend/ Spouse is a Aquarian, you never need to be worried about their loyalty, by this I don’t mean there wouldn’t be girls or guys hitting upon them but they are too much into you to think about other girls/guys. In fact I would like to add if you are an Aquarius and engaged/Committed there is no point going to abroad (read Singapore, Thailand!!)  Because you are neways not going to admire the beauty of the Place (read Girls :)) instead give the opportunity to people like us who would at least be looking or enjoying the beauty of the place :):) 

2. Anything less than over perfection is a compromise
As I said I have been living with Aquarius  (My Bro )throughout my life, so trust me the perfection doesn’t ends in office, even the home has to be perfect, perfection at home means pay the bills even before they arrive , take care of bikes, cars, pollutions, locks and what not. There is a famous saying that bachelors live very shabbily (read untidy) but put Aquarius bachelors in a room and it would be so clean that our mothers won’t be able to match that standard :).


3. Make few friends but make them for lifetime
Aquarius are normally not over extrovert people, they have set of people with whom they prefer to be friend with,but these friends remain friends for  lifetime and that's because they go that extra mile for these people.

4.Damn it!! Any day better Son/Daughter/Employee than me 
Its been more than a month that my bro is out of home but my mother(or for relatives for that matter ) keep on saying this is how he used to do it, he is better than you in this, in office my managers say they (read Rahul or Varun) are better employees than me,alright i give up even i admire and confess i keep them ideal whenever i do things and mark myself on the scale as defined by them

Wishing all Aquarius a delightful and happy birthday (ab isse zyada jhoot main nhi likh sakta Rahul/Varun/Bhai as promised u 3 owe me a treat now :):):) )
Cheers !!!!!

How to get Europe out of the Recession: Fly in Females from rest of the world :):)


According to Wikipedia, a recession is a business cycle contraction, a general slowdown in economic activity, in simple words even though money is there in economy but people stop spending that money. Now here I am putting my thinking cap and trying to describe a way, how can we get Europe out of Recession in a very humorous and Light Manner.
Why Fly in females from rest of the world, I found this answer after reading various blogs on females and watching some of the funny sit-coms on Star World.
1 They Love to Shop whether they are happy, sad or angry
If you are a guy just try to compare your wardrobe with your sister, girlfriend or spouse for that matter. One of my office friend told me that her wife’s clothing (plus shoes how can you forget them :) :) ) takes 2.5 cupboard and his is stuffed in rest 0.5 :).Most of the females I have come across say they love to shop and go shopping almost every other weekend, further they also give in to the fact that shopping make them happy especially if they are sad or disappointed  with something. So we can safely send these females to Europe and spending will increase automatically.
2 They Love Gifts 
Gifts are an eternal part of any relationship with females :)( Right from mothers to sister s to girlfriends to wife), if you want to keep them happy I guess gifts are one easiest ways to do that. I know and completely agree that “It is thought that matters :)” but practically speaking nothing comes for free. In fact the best part is unlike guys, females like to gift each other as well so here we are again increasing the spending for recession free Europe.
3 The Class Apart
Two guys can sit anywhere on a roadside ‘Dhaba’ and enjoy the meal but when you are with females (again be it moms gfs or friends ) you have to find a place where they feel convenient, you can’t sit anywhere, it should be place with decent ambience and where they feel comfortable so again the expense on eating out also increases exponentially.
4 A Man speaks 7000 words a day, a woman 20000 word a day!!
Honestly I have not made up this figure, it has come out of extensive research conducted by times life (a supplement of Times of India), you must be wondering how number of words is related to spending. The answer is our telecom industry runs on our eternal need to connect and women have slightly more longing for interacting as they believe problems gets light with sharing and venting it out. So this automatically increases the spending on Telephone bills etc.
5 A superwoman owns it all 
With women entering every industry of the world and with high disposable income they have everything at their feet, they love to look beautiful, dress well and have ways to decorate themselves for head to toe. So this aspiration to look good comes at cost and is huge industry in itself.

6 Rich will become richer and poor will become poorer
With less females only beer bars, alcohol vendors and sports bars will get benefited, rest almost all the Industries will vanish, as we will not have anyone forcing us to dress properly, honestly being a guy I know most of the guys do not spend too much on themselves for looking good, it is for our female counterparts that we dress somewhat properly.

But having said that I am able to find the answer to Europe Recession but then probably rest of the World will go in Recession :):) :):) 

Cheers !!!!

Taurus- The Priceless Possession

Before i begin my experience and journey of being with Taurus,i would like to wish you all a Wonderful and Prosperous 2012.
Though i am not an Astrologer but i am pretty sure 2012 has plenty of things lined up for Taurus,some of Taurus close to my life had already started feeling that change and i must confess 'I m Lovin it :)'


On an Honest note,Taurus never had a space of my mind,they have been there with me but never too important for me to as they are today, in fact i would not mind saying they are THE MOST IMPORTANT  people in my life right now,coming on to detailed description of Taurus based on the people i have been with.

Professionally  
Most of the Taurus, i have come across with are both Hardworking and are Intelligent,they work hard to achieve what they want in life but if they don't get it their own way they know how to twist things to get their own way so they are also smart people.Taurus are ambitious but they are not ready to leave everything for success.So all in all  i know people of this sun sign doing everything from sales to teaching to corporate but they are not Very Aggressive, they give Apt importance Relations,Life and Money.

Personally 
They are very very observant and Mature people and have a Strict Rules on which they judge what is right and what is wrong, in fact my 10 year old Taurus Cousin can beat me in terms of maturity :).
They are very emotional people but only in front of the people they are closest to,hence to most of the world they appear conservative or at times rude but unlike all of us they not superficial or dual personality, they show what they are.

There way of dealing things are" if you like me its okay but if you don't then its your problem", however this compose and calmness in which they handle things make them the Best Confidant, in fact people of all the sun signs come and share their problem with them and admire the way they handle things.

However they are like Volcano, so they are quiet till the time you don't poke them but once poked anger or love will come in volumes.The Trait which i like the most about them is they give extreme importance to only the people in world that matter to them and are loyal Husband/Wives and make best of Sons/Daughters.

It might  come as a surprise to many of you even though i am single (this is not a surprise  okay !! ) as of now but i want to spend my rest of the life with a Taurus, so even before i will look a girl or family etc etc, if she is Taurus, i am all set and would consider myself lucky to spend my rest of the life with her.

Crux of the Matter : if you have a Taurus Girlfriend/Boy Friend/Spouse never let them go because you never know if you will be lucky to get a one again
