Friends,
I am in love and believe me that too @ the first sight. You must be eager to know as to when did i got struck by the stupid cupid and who is that lucky gal :). Hold on I will answer all your queries .Hmmm wel that most fortunate gal's name is HP Pavilion and is right on the top. I am in love with my new Laptop :-)
It has been a very very long wait for me to get my first laptop. Actually i have ordered my laptop in the month of Jan '08 but got its delivery only in the month of April . Only God and Me knows how the three months have gone by in the anticipation of seeing the glimpse of my laptop. The reason behind so much anxiety and curiosity is very obvious, I have got it some my own hard earned money. It feels good and sense of satisfaction.

Only God and Me knows how the three months have gone by in the anticipation of seeing the glimpse of my laptop. The reason behind so much anxiety and curiosity is very obvious, I have got it some my own hard earned money. It feels good and sense of satisfaction.
And let me come to answer the question why the delay of three odd months in getting my laptop. My Laptop is procured from US and the model which i have got is a high end configuration which is not yet launched in INDIA. ( Feeling a bit proud at this point of time ) . One of my team colleagues had gone to US on a business trip. Initally the trip was planned for a one month , infact less than a month. So i thought it to be a good opportunity to ask him to bring a laptop for me from US coz he will be back soon . So within a week of he reaching Boston ( my client 's head quarters) i asked him to buy a HP pavilion Laptop for me. But after that my joy was shortlived. His trip was extended for one more month.This was a very very sad news. Somehow i managed to make myself calm and controlled my emotions. Made a small calender in my home and made a count of days for his return. Everyday used to mark out the day from the hand made calender.Thinking of the number of days remaining always made me happy and smile. In the mean time i used to see the snaps of my laptop which my colleague has send me from there.Still remember that black day when i got an email that abiran( my colleague ) 's trip has been extended by another month. AFter reading that mail i was on a look out for a wall where i can bang my head. I had lost my total charm and enthusiasm and was like ' aana Hoga tho aa jayega ,varna BHAAD mein Jaaye.' - meaning if it wants to come let it come otherwise let it go to hell.
It took a couple of days for me to completely make my thinking free of Laptop. Finally the day was arriving near when Abiran 's Visa was about to get expired. Now at least i was happy that there is no possbility for the extension atleast this time.:-)
And The Judgement day arrived when i got the delivery of my laptop. In my excitement to see the laptop , i forgot the thank the person who had brought my lappy all the way from BOSTON to India clearing a number of custom officers at various airports. Actually some airlines and airports have a strict policy of the Passenger carrying a single laptop with him. All the electronics stuff come under the scanner at the airports like Mumbai. This was the only thing which i was worried off. But luckily everything went off smoothly.
I am writing this article from the heart of my love Laptop while sitting in a corner seat of CCD.
My next article on this blog will be a more of like an request to all the fortunate and privileged people to help the less fortunate.
So Stay Tuned.
