"hello"- you say.. "hello" .. he would say and smile!
Would listen, absorb, quip-in once or so! thats it!
After the next few times, just around the time you are concluding he is Those SHY types, you will be awed to see him in the centre of this group and making everyone laugh their brains out!
Yes, That was ME , a few years ago! and that HE, wakes up pretty often.

Better know to a few in Blog-sphere since 2005 as AlterinG Abhishek. From what started as forced blogger registeration on Xanga to comment on a blog, has now become a very interesting expression, in the form of a foto blog, a One Liner Repositary and My life's Interesting Phases
Brought up in the City Beautiful of Chandigarh, I am an electronics engineer and have been wrinkling my nose that I have become 27 as of last month!
After working in Delhi for two years, and having travelled to Singapore, hyd, blr, chennai, jaipur, orissa, gujarat and likes.. I have found how much I just love travelling.
moved to mumbai now since last two year( yeah AFter delhi), I fear, that despite not liking the City in parts, I am becoming Mumbaiya and maybe starting to like it ( in the balance parts)
PunjabBBi By NatuRe, and I just love to break into Gurmukhi ( punjabi).. unluckily that is not usually possible here in Mumbai!!!!
( as latest as i could get)
During my (un)usual Philosophical bouts, I firmly believe, it takes MORE than a lifetime to know a (ever-evolving) person!
And you expect me to tell you about myself in a post!!
(smiles)
अछा अब बहुत हुआ !!
I am rarely as patient as this.. and IF I were to hear all of this in a conversation, after the first few lines, I would have..."चल यार बाक़ी बाद में , अभी चलते है , कुछ खाते है !!"
and खाने से I recall that i gotta give a 10 things about me or a recipe!!
Considering की no-one has posted andthing मीठा ॥
तो कुछ मीठा हो जाये !
Here is my personal favourite, and yes I have managed to SUCCESSFULLY make the same॥more than just fluke वाला once
( just that i need to call ma, to confirm the recipe, every time i make it, अब i have an email from her to publish it here and remeber for the good)
Chocolate ( Walnut) Brownie!!
- 230gms(1Cup)
- sugar,2eggs
- 85gms sifted flour
-1/4 tsp salt
-1/2tsp vanilla essence
- 1/3cup chopped walnuts (optional)
- 6 tbsps cocoa( YES SIX)
- 1/2tsp baking powder
Method
1. Sift flour,salt and baking powder together.
2. Preheat oven to 360 degree F.
3. Beat eggs and sugar until eggs are lemon coloured.
4. Melt butter and cocoa in a double boiler until it becomes paste.( if you dont know what a double boiler is then... उफ़ !! :P just google it or mail me)
5 .Take off heat.
6. Cool slightly.
7. And add egg mixture.
8. Gradually fold in the sifted ingredients and add vanilla essence. ( fold and sift is a cake batter preparing method)
9. Mix in the walnuts.
10. Grease a 20cm square pan and dust with flour.
11. Pour the cocoa matter into it and bake for 30 minutes.
12. Cut into squares about 5 cm.when cool.
