Playlist of a computer man


Wires in ears and hands on keyboard, this is how you will see a computer man working. This computer man could be anyone, a data entry operator, a programmer, a student making assignments, an entrepreneur looking alexa rank every time, a teacher making notes, anyone. The one thing that is common between these types of people is working style. They have to sit at one place and focus on one screen for hours. They have to struggle with finding right keys and manipulating mouse at right time. Such a huge task! But there is this one thing which makes the difference and these giant tasks are done in a single go without any frustrations. Music, from soft melodious qawwalis to sufi fused tracks, from jazz to heavy metal, from nusrat fateh to kurt cobain, these computer people find these tracks so charming that a day without their earphones is a dooms day for them. They have their own playlists, own trends, and sometimes they keep on playing one single track throughout the night.
Being a computer man, I too have a taste of some genres. I also plug in my earphones and keep working throughout days and nights whenever there is call of duty. I too have some playlists which are saved in my system and are obvious to be played whenever the system goes on roll. But there is this one playlist, which is always the first and last one I play when I go to work. It has 30 mixed songs, from all kind of genres; Pop, Jazz, Classical and Hip-Hop & Instrumental. I am listing them below. Please keep in mind, these are my personally choices It doesn’t matter to me if you don’t like them.

The Final 100-minutes!


The Morpheus Story! How we made it to the morpheus gang!

Click Here For Thread (Just 4 Parts!)


This is Day 2 - The 100 Minutes
Hello All! Sorry for delayed post! Let me tell you, I am a Lazy man! (but not at office). Here i am, with the final edition of Day-2, This is Part-3 "The 100 Minutes". Hope you enjoy it!

“Oh sweet baby, Tell me your name” This English singer blew me up as we entered the willow café. Soft cream colored trousers and a cool beach type orange floral top, touchy white earphones plugged into ears hidden behind those black shiny hairs which made an absolute boy hair cut. Nandini was obvious to be discovered and the iphone looked damn sexy in her hands! Juggling with the capacitive touch screen, the wonderful lady was engulfed by either any rhythms or any sort of surfing. I don’t know why, but aman inhales lot of air when he meets a new person but nevertheless his chest gets larger! May be he feels that getting a bigger and broader chest will impound the situation for him and he will be more dominating! Lolzz.. It was a small café from the scene, but it surely had basements and upper floors to my guess after couple of skinny girls emerged from downstairs.
There were two round tables, with the first one already occupied by some bunch of honcho group. I would definitely call them honcho as of the aura they made! Then was the next table! The Owner of may be a BMW, or may be a merc, could be Skoda was sitting there looking at us and there she greets! “Nandini, you might be aman & abhishek” She self-introduced. “Hi, ah- yes! Aman, and my friend abhishek” aman quickly uttered before I dropped my jaw! There were smiles all around and it was a perfect flavor to talk business! No matter, we were missing sameer and that I didn’t even dared to rotate my neck to scrutinize his presence. That moment just locked us into the table and I am sure If He was standing right behind us; we could have still never noticed him! We were so fuckingly possessive about our moves or it was like we lost our minds!
For a moment we were jammed but then, it was all nandini’s! I wonder how one can craft the situation so friendly in first meeting and that too when you are an investor! She eased us with her auspicious presence and then talked about general terms and things. As I mentioned in my first post of Day-1, I speak less in meetings, but that doesn’t mean I have nothing to speak. It’s just that in my perspective Listening is more important in a meeting for me and that I speak little but valuable. Now, It was Mr. Speaker, Aman! To my astonishment there was no broader chest! Seemed like he has dominated and that he is resting it now! If I has to say, I would say, that his chest is a weapon for him! He inflates it at right moment, and then exhales it unknowingly. (Many people do this, Do you? lolzz). Slowly we discover that sameer is on call and he has gone to parking. Then all of a sudden, “Hi, Sameer” Sameer encounters as expected, with a cool attitude filling the moment. His entry reminds me of the movie social network, Like Sean Parker, enters the café to meet Mark and Saverin! We shake hands and start with the talks. Now here I saw something to compare, where nandini had a boy hair cut, sameer had long shiny hairs! Nevertheless, He looked perfect and that he got exactly what was needed!
As aman defined me about his clothing sense while in taxi, Here, Sameer seriously wore shorts and a t-shirt with I guess sandals. That was actually looking cool and we enjoyed his presence. People were coming and going it was we, who kept on talking and laughing. Though I wanted tea, but aman’s dominating accent forced me to order a cold coffee, which I never enjoyed! (Aman we have sorted that na!) Gosh! I wanted to kill him! It was a big fat cup! Only I know how I poured it inside. Everyone knew, I finished last but no one knew, I left quite MLs under the foam! Ha-ha.
The time was tickling like cool breeze, and aman and I were busy in explaining our earlier ventures. What surprised me most was that after making the biggest ever campus network in college, our principal to teacher, no one ever motivated and praised us for what we have done to them and that these guys who read about it in the form we filled for enrollment to their investment batch were boosting us like if they knew us by years! They made us feel so special and we felt! No one has ever asked us about how we made that thing and how we could have made it more efficient! It was these guys who actually talked business about it! We were impressed and delighted! 
We shared about our interests and learnt many success stories from nandini, one especially about red-quanta guy, who happened to be their brother. It was all business stories now, and we were feeling great to be there!  They wanted aman to quit his job and work full time on our project and that they motivated him like anything. They described an IT job as a Drug, full of luxuries and weekends and that it’s very difficult to cut the dose! They told us how they left their great Jobs in US and started up in India with a CD-DVD rental firm, “Mad-House” which they later sold to “Seventy-mm” for a good deal! They told us inspirational stories of startups in India and abroad. Sameer took us into a world where there is no limitations and only freedom! Freedom to take decisions, to make strategies, to hire people! They actually owned us!
I don’t know what the bill was, but the best inspiration they gave us was by showing their credit card wallet! Fuck! There were around tens! And they all were shining! Glittering as if loaded with millions! I just fantasized of that day when I will be having the same! (I am sure aman was dreaming too!)
It was gladder to learn that they were going the same way, and that they offered us to drop by. Finally we signed off the meeting with high positivity. And that they made us the offer the next morning to start with Live-in kinda partnership, which needed us to work with them on our project for 15 days and then figure out if we can make a good team with them for investment! It was a fab moment and we were looking very positive to work with them for next 15 days! We knew we have made it!
We returned back home with high heels and those 100 minutes, were engraved into our lives forever and forever.
Coming Next >> “The Lunch-Big Things Can Happen Over it!” The Story of what happened after Live-in and what went on!

The Feelings (On board, a taxi)


The Morpheus Story! How we made it to the morpheus gang!

Click Here For Thread (Just 4 Parts!)


Day-2: Part-2: The Feelings!

On Board, the Taxi:

“Do they drive a Mercedes?” I asked aman with a low pitch tone. “I Don’t Know yar, may be a BMW” He added to the dialogue. “BMWs are very common in Chandigarh, They are surely driving a good car” I replied with an anxious mood. Sitting in a much cushioned couch, we were comfortable sitting nearer. 

“Yia, But I have read that they are very simple, you know, Sameer came in Shorts and a Tee at IIT Kanpur!” Aman notified me.
“In shorts! And a Tee? Are they coming in Skoda?” I lowered my evaluation method and came to much affordable sedan.
“May be, who knows? I hope they haven’t boarded a taxi like us! Lol” with no shame and respect he joked out loudly and I was into the laugh!
It was a pale colored taxi with Slogans of AIDS awareness and every time my eyes rolled to them it scared the shit out of me! Before I explain about this, Let me disclaim that I haven’t done anything sluggish that make me fear of AIDS, it’s just that the name itself is a Danger to read! God save The World! The day light was dimmed and people were back to buses for home sweet home. We kept on talking about their cars and assets; it was like we were going to meet someone really like a king!
The passions were high and the expectations were too! A rhythm of self confidence and maturity was oozing out in our talks. It went on to become a lagaan movie last six scene, when a whole past rolls out in his mind. The flashes of my past school days were in vision. I never ever enjoyed my schooling and nor did I liked any of them who fooled around me. I felt very confident by comparing my present to my past. I badly needed vikrant to discuss this with him! He was one time my role model, and no more when he said “Bad headed” to me! Vikrant was always on cards! Not for now, but I have to meet him one day for much needed comparisons!  
“Shit, Its 6:10! Are we going to make it?” I was in out of senses! We didn’t want to disappoint the investors just for our late timings. “Oops! Nandini’s Call!” aman uttered and he was in no chance to take that up! “Fuck You, Receive it bloody asshole!” I squeezed his arm and he picked! “Yes, Yes, No, we.. we.. yes Ok” The only words he spoke in a 2 minutes call.
“What’s the deal?” I asked.
“She said, Bakes and Beans is crowded and that we gonna make it to The Willow Café nearby” Aman replied positively.
“Any late queries?”
“No, she was very energetic and positive!”
It’s a saying that everything happens for first time in life and yes this was the first time aman travelled thousands of miles lying on train floor, I hired a taxi for a short distance, We are called up by an investor couple and that they are waiting for last 20 minutes for us! This was all for the first time!
Hey, there is Bakes and beans, our eyes scrolled over to every corner to find willow café, bakes and beans was really crowded and that we found willow café right at the corner!
“Hey! We have made it!” my energies gelled up with a heavy voice!
“My turban is fine na? and what about my collars?” Aman kept on making it up and I kept on answering him.
“Everything is gonna be ok! Right?” I confidently stood up and we lodged out from taxi!
It was around 50 meter far, and that walk became the most anxious, confident and glorious walk. At this moment, we were just proud of anything. We needed that 5 lakhs, but we were ready to invest double for that much more moments. Every step we took, it framed our breaths and motivated us more to step further. Those were the heaviest puddings we made on ground. You might have got to see many such meetings in your life, but it was not just a meeting for us, it was a victory! We never expected that they would call us to meet personally over a coffee! We were so dumb assholes!
The front view of café was much like a chocolaty wafer and as we reached entrance, we could find nandini sitting over just in front of us! It was all cool and we crashed in. 

Coming Up Next: Much Awaited: DAY-2, Final Part: "100 Minutes!"

Day-2 : Getting Ready!



The Morpheus Story! How we made it to the morpheus gang!

Click Here For Thread (Just 4 Parts!)


This is Day 2 - Getting Ready!
Hello All! Back With Live Coverage! 

Day-2 Getting Ready!

Unfolding the arms with a synchronized yawning made a chalking sound from bone joints like tuk-tukkk... I stood up right on the bed and managed to get hold over morning erections! "Oops! Where's my cell phone!" The very first words either in mind or verbal were uttered out of me and i was sympathized by the angels to get its vision! Gosh! I love my xpress music device and that it’s GPRs is awesome that takes me to the pages of face book every other moment! A recent survey among people from 16-25 discovered that 60% of them open face book rite when they wake up from their GPRS! Ha-ha... I belong to that category... Though I don’t write much on my wall nor I expect any likes or comment... it’s just a fond to see updates by friends! That is what we call socially interactive! 

"Oye... Come-on let's go for pranthas" Man-U started. "Pranthas? From Where?" i quickly quizzed up! You know there are always some certain common food outlets in a city, famous for one Big dish and pranthas were best from sardar's dhaba! Man-U had brushed and i took up 2 mins to get ready and we charted off to the dhaba! This was good and it had to be! We walked off to room and I called on to aman- Aman was coming all the way from pune in an unreserved train seat and I was all in a jinx to think about his condition! Let me tell you, aman is a man of skies! That means, he will prefer flights until they are affordable! But nevertheless, an express train can be reserved only if booked very early! He just got no seat! 

The reason of his unreserved journey and my presence in Chandigarh was one! We were waiting for that big moment! - It went switched off all the time and I was wondering about how will he contact to me on his arrival! The much awaited meeting was scheduled at 6 in the evening and it was 3.30 when I was thrilled to receive his call!  "Hey, I am fine, just got to tell you that I am arriving by 4.30, be ready at the junction!" and he broadcasted less! "Hey, I have bike, and I will manage to pick him up" these wonderful words came out directly from an unnoticed person "Neeraj". Neeraj was Man-U's roommate and a kind hearted man! We enjoyed his presence and that his offer to help was overwhelming! We lived at Punjab end of Chandigarh and the station was on the Haryana end! 

I remember, it was 4.10 when neeraj drove off, and they came both came back at mighty 5.15!  a complete hour! "It's too far man!" aman hugged and there was rejoices on our faces! "You know, I have never ever slept on train floor in my whole life!!" he added and he was dirty! Aman's Presence became a wave of ennthusiasm in me. My Nerves were refreshed as if they just dived into Caribbean beaches! "Floor? That is sad man! You could have died in case of a stampede! lolz" I uttered. "A Stampede! Could you have spoken a little better! I have to return by the same style! Gosh!" he laughed and replied. "Ok, we have just around 35 mines to board a taxi! We are running late bro!" I quickly added! "35 mins! Fck! How can we be so late?" He was in hurry! 

As the clock tickled around its scale, our heartbeats were swinging like anything at an abnormal rate! The moment for which we both were far from our homes, was minutes away from me! What an energized evening it was! There were well wishes all around; there were cheer ups, there were hopes, passion & a sense of freedom! We were looking for this opportunity for a long while and to sit in front of a silicon valley based couple investor was quite a challenge for us!! "65 Companies! Is what they have invested in" Aman said in a boom way. "65! Is that true! OMG, are we going to be 66th" I quickly added. We actually never knew about the actual number, but that was seriously quite motivating! 

We relooked at our particulars and we were set to meet a couple who invited us for a meeting to discuss our business plan! This was not a normal meeting for us; Every Budding Entrepreneur would love to sit around them! "Hey, are you ready?" I asked Aman. "Yes! Absolutely, and my brain is too!" with a passion rolling over his body, he answered! "Great! Let's find a taxi!" i added and we boarded a taxi for The Willow Cafe!
