Oman Paradis!!

Its a known fact that Oman is one of the Gulf countries which produces oil in huge amount every year. It is also known that during the month of July, the temperature in most of the Gulf areas goes upto 40deg. Well, during this time, my boss got a brilliant idea "Why not send this girl to our customer in Oman?" (Well, an idea flashed in a man who landed here from one of the coldest countries, Canada and whose body cannot take temperature above 25deg..What an idea sirjeee!!!)

OK. And so off to Oman..!!!

The location of this company is in a place called Ibri. It is around 200-300kms away from Al Ain border. (Guess what?? I had to travel for more than 400kms in a pick-up truck whose seats are not stretchable!!)

Basically, this is Oil & Gas company. It has got its fields all around Oman. It is a Government company which works in alliance with Taiwan Government. The supplies are from Taiwan and the profits are shared between Oman and Taiwan Govt. (Something like that!!)

The plant where we went mainly produces LPG. Scientific process goes like this, when the natural crude oil and gas is pumped out, they undergo a lot of gas treatment processes. One of them is producing LPG where high octane liquids are retained and low weight gases are flared out. Compressors form one of the main units used in these industries, mainly to gather and transport oil and gas into various stations. Since we are the main suppliers of the components used in the compressors, we grabbed this opportunity to check these compressors.

The best part of the trip was that the temperature outside had reached around 60deg!!! What else can I ask for??Heaven!!! Well, that was not the best part really. What I enjoyed the most was, I could see so many beam pumps, drilling units located all over, with huge pipelines transporting the oil. Huge compressors loading enormous amount of gas. Huge tanks collecting the liquid, trucks that are filled with these liquids to be transported to various stations.

Inspite of the fact that the place was boiling hot where no residential area could be seen for around 100kms surrounding the field, no internet access, I must say I had a wonderful time learning so many things!

What else can I ask for??

Same Old Thing!!!

Why is breaking-up so painful?? Its like all the energy you put up to know someone has to be used to forget the same person..very tiring job!! And if the person is breaking up with you for no good reason then it becomes more pathetic..you know what I mean!

Next comes the part of "getting over" and "moving on" !! Damn easy job that is!! Especially when the person who breaks up with you is having all the fun in life!!

I have gone through this and am sure many of you guys have too!! I never took it easily, infact I messed it up like shitt!! I would cry every night, act crazily and the worst part was I would literally beg him to come back to me ( Even when I knew he was not interested..How needy could I get!!)

Well its not a strange way to react, am sure any person in that situation would react the same way!!

Its been more than 3years since the break-up, but I still feel bad about what I went through. Its not that I am still crazy about that guy, its just that somewhere my ego was hurt. How could he break-up when it was supposed to be me who should be breaking hearts (Ya ryt!! Like I am some heroine..:|) It sounds funny true but it really did hurt my ego!!

I couldn't take it in a positive way! It always made me think that there was a flaw in me, something not likable!! Something very wrong!

But what I forgot to realize was maybe it had to happen so that I can actually be with that person who I was meant to be with!! Its like God's way of saying "Ok girl!! All the while you took care of him, and now its your turn to be taken care of..:)!!" Well an indirect way of telling me to "get a life". And seriously, I have got my life back!!

So people out there worrying about break-ups, just see it this way, now its your turn to rule!!

An Evening at the Beach!

Have you ever got a feeling that a stranger sitting next to you in a bus or some random person you talk to in a shop might become your companion for the rest of your life?

It was a beautiful sunny afternoon when me and two of my best friends thought of spending sometime in the beach. Well, they have been couples for more than 2yrs now (TouchWood!!) and I thought it would be best to let them spend their quality time on their own. And with this excuse i escaped the horrors of wetting myself in the salt water and got into my favorite past time, Reading!

With warm breeze blowing over my head and the light noise of the waters made me look around. Seeing people of different nationalities, of all kinds of ages and with different backgrounds was very wonderful.

Just then I saw a sweet cute girl (Probably English!) trying to talk to a small Indian kid. Suddenly, I got this feeling, would she ever meet him "By chance" in her life again? Would she ever get the chance to talk to him "again"?

I saw my friends,who are so much in love, happily enjoying in the water, did they ever cross roads in their lives before they met? Or probably for one second did they get the feeling "maybe one day I will meet her/him soon!" I would never really know!!

In the midst of the crowd, I realized it is best to retain this mystery as it is. I mean, if we knew the person we would end up with, or the things we will end up having, where will all the fun in our lives go? In fighting??

Stayin Alive!!

Have you ever got the feeling where at one moment you are really really flying high in the sky, and the next thing you know you are falling right on the sharp edge of a rock!!! If its not a rock it would definitely be a sharp knife!! Like how I feel after reading "Twilight" (when I realize there is no Edward in real life) or when I am all set to go for shopping with my money and right then I get lectures from my parents about "Savings"!!

We all at some point of our life get these feelings, but do you think it should make you stop yourself from dreaming or think beyond your capabilities??

It is a cliche "Sky is the limit" or "Make impossible, possible". We all have heard people talk about these expressions, but do you think "Ya, Maybe I too can make a difference in this life!"

My point is, just because we have a profession/occupation in our lives, does it mean we have reached our goals in life? Or just because you sit at home unemployed (temporarily), do you think you are nowhere near your goals?

It is not at all the end of life! I am employed Yes, but I know that this is not what I am seeking from this world. I want to travel around the world. Being a homesick person, who cannot stand a small change that takes place anywhere around me, I really want to feel the change, to chase all the opportunities in the world.

I had told this to my sister and I would want you all to know, that this is not it. You have all the treasures in the world to get what you want. Enjoy everything you do in life, Dream big!! Try to bring those dreams to reality. Share these moments with the ones you love. Be positive. I know its not that easy, but come on, if you wont even try to put an effort how will that be possible??

Make a difference!! ( I don't want to sound too philosophical, like my friend "koli faez" tells me..:P)

My Angel..!!

I've never written an essay or short stories on my own. Frankly speaking, I always considered myself as a bad writer and a worse speaker (damn I never had the confidence to face a huge gathering..!!!)..!!

I would have taken help from my seniors or probably would have checked in google for "how to write awesome essays"...but I don't think either of these would have helped me speak out my heart..something which I always wanted everyone to know (those who I know and who love me) about "My angel"...that one person who is my Guardian, my Savior, my guide, my friend and the best of all my Only Sister..!!!

Well, if I have to describe her in detail I would need 10hours minimum, but I don't think I am patient enough ('cause my "FRIENDS" series is calling me), so I will try to make it short and sweet. I hope my Literature Pro sis doesn't object my amateur writing style..!!

To begin with..I don't think I would be what I am today without this beautiful Goddess, who is the main reason for me writing this blog. Still remember those crazy times when we used to chase around each other for every tiny things..It did not take much time for the cat and mouse chase "phase" to turn into actual "sister love" phase, where those tiny fights were replaced by tiny gossips we shared, those beatings and thrashings were replaced by the strong support we gave each other and the chase transformed into an intense bond called Love which still hold us together..This is all because of this angel who is an embodiment of strength, care, patience, peace and Love.

With the passage of time, she has taught me the lessons of life, to learn to believe, to take things as they come and the best of all to believe in myself.

She is an impersonation of dad's courage, mum's beauty, granny's perseverance, granpa's patience and the most of all, the sole divine ability to love everyone.

I have this one dream that I too would get a chance to instill everything I have learned from her to her lil daughter (MY ANGEL JUNIOR- who is an exact replica of Angel The Senior). I hope I could be the super Aunt whom she would turn into for guidance in every phase of her life, someone she would reach out for when trouble arrives, someone who would pamper her to the core and someone who would love her endlessly..

LOVE YOU GIRLS
