Life in four suitcases.

Hello!

I am back here after a long time and this is first time I am writing in this New year 2013.
Well, where was I? I was not very far from Internet but did not felt to write here among lots of things going between December 2012 and March 2013.

Its been two months since we came to Linkoping, Sweden from India, from our home in Noida to a new home here.

From the time we took decision to move out of India suddenly life became very busy, busy in planning various things or I should say it got busy in planning to take our married life in four suitcases that to with the weight limit put by International airlines.

Its strange to realise that life can be moved around in any corner of the world with just four suitcases and yes we moved from one part of world to an another part of world. Its just not moving, its a change of culture, change of language, change of weather, change of environment, change of lifestyle but fortunately no change in food in big manner.

So, we are now kind of settle here but still in planning mode i.e. when we were in India we were planning on how to rearrange or sell our house hold stuff and now we are here so we are planning which household stuff to buy and when. So, this planning mode is going on right from the day we got our Visa to Sweden.

One of the strange thing is that when you are in same country with your family then you don’t interact very frequently but when you go out of country then interaction becomes quite frequent. Till the time I was in Noida My father never did interaction with Whatsapp or Skype  but now these applications are boon to us. Yahan aakar ghar waalon se itni baat hoti he jitni kabhi India me nahin hoti thi. Mom and Dad have become now Skype and Whatsapp experts.

So, things will go on like this till the time we are here, the day we will decide to go back to India I know we will again end up in just four suitcases.

Wo ek dialogue he na kisi film me “Ghar kya he? Jahan aapki family or parivaar ek jagah rehna shuru kar de wohi Ghar he chahe wo kahin bhi ho…. makaan ghar ban hi jaata he”

Noida- A city of Techies,Fashion or....?

Noida, Does any body knows for what Noida is specialised ? Techies,workers,daily bread earners,students or Fashion.Every body in Noida is an part of something which takes their step out everyday with a new hope and desire.Being it be IT Professionals,students,factory workers or auto rikshaw drivers strugling and earning their daily bread.
We can see the development and advancement of this city not by no of malls,multiplexes and Software companies but by the bandwidth of traffic increasing day by day.Not only traffic, we can see lots of people here for their work on the magical 5 days of week.People here learned to work harder and party harder on the weekends, as we are aware of the fact that there is not a single space to put yourself easily on weekends specially in Sector 18 which have Center Stage Malls and The Gr8 India Place. Well i should thank to BPOs' and IT Companies here to bring this culture.
Infact BPO and IT playing a major role in increasing mob on weekends.Everybody comes here to enjoy and to have some quality time with their family,friends, girl freind/boy friend.The best thing here is the beggar, if you have ever been to Sector 18 than the most common person there are the beggars. They enjoy their earnings or i should say their daily bread by begging to people in Summer or cold when the temperature is around 42 degrees and 10 degrees respectively.
There targets are specially the couples who were having a quality time of their life with each other or the group friends who are freaking out there.I remembered one of the incident when i was with my group on the eve of New year, a small girl wearing torned sweter and a skirt with a bowl in her hand, shivring with the cold and looking at us with some hope came to us and said to one of our friend "दीदी पाँच रूपया देदो " (please give me five rupees), first she ignored her...she again with a hope said to her " दीदी पाँच रूपया देदो तेरी जल्दी शादी हो जायेगी "(please give me five rupees and i will bless you,you will get marry soon), this time our friend got stunned at her statement.As a result we moved from that place.
That was an one incident which happened with us,dont know how many such things happened how many times and with how many peoples in a day.
Well as there are many no of peoples who raom their, beggars also have high probability of getting money as this place seems to be an youngistan.
Youngistan....yeah youngistan, Noida can also be considered as Youngistan as plenty of youngsters are here for studies, working in Multi Nationals and working part time in Mac Donalds, malls etc.Noida brings lots of employment options to people but also the crime factor.As i mentioned youngistan...here every type of youngster exists.One who just here for studies,one who works with an Multi National with an lucrative package and also some who robs four people in a single night.Well not every place can be perfect place as the good and bad things are complimentary to each other.
Every body here in Noida as in very hurry all the times.Be it Bikers (thanks to Pulsar series,CBZ extreme and Tvs Apache),cars,tempo drivers.The most exiciting thing in Noida are tempo/rikshaw drivers and bus drivers.If you have ever been into a tempo at the route Shipra sun city to Indian Oil Building (Sector 1) than you will feel that you are flying in a Luftansa airline....ya luftansa..because every tempo/rikshaw and bus driver assumes defaulty that this road is meant for him only and they donot leave a single inch of space, if you ask them why are you driving so fantastically than they will say "to save time and to take more customers".Every time they overtake to another vehicle,they will give horn from their own mouth (a statement or one liner that no body can't ignore it )instead of using auto's or bus horn.They will take you to your destination in as much less possible time which creates sometime an Horrible traffic jam. In such situations the most comfortable and happy are bikers, if auto dont leave an space of inch than power bikers dont leave an space of centimeter.
This not there fault, each youngistani is in first love...... he he he... not with a girl but with a power bike, a girl comes secondary to them over bikes :). This love even took some precious life of some boys who were enjoying at greater noida express highway with their girl friend....their bike.
I dont know whether it is passion,emotion or love for the Noida which makes it an Fashion city , an education city ,an IT hub which all combining makes it an Happening Noida.
