Shopping

So how many of you have ever come across a Guy who Loves Shopping ???? And that also not just for himself, but who also likes going for shopping with Girls !!! Suprising na !! Do they make such Guys ???

For starters I am such a Guy. I love shopping and even like going for shopping with Girls, which may include Mom, Sis, Friends and whoever needs company or a helping hand....

How did this odd (For most normal ppl out there) thing start ?? Well when I was young, I used to many times accompany Mom and Di for their shopping sprees. I would get very bored, sitting with them, checking out their stuff and wishing they could finish it off fast and we could move on, and somehow it never worked out that way. Slowly and slowly I started thinking in a different way, I realised that if I could not stop them, then it would be better if I join them...

So here was a new Raahul, one who instead of getting bored and frustrated while sitting in a shop now took the whole experience in a totally different way. I started getting involved, things like what looks good and what not... I remember getting an advice on Didi once, she said that while choosing clothes for girls imagine what would look good on the person you like, and then take a decision. And one thing I say is that this technique has never failed me. I am now considered quite an asset to take along for shopping, first is I dont crib when it takes too long, second I have quite a good choice and help making decisions faster, and last but not the least I am always the Chaffeur cum Bag lifter (and geniunely who doesnt want one). Plus I am getting quite good in this Art, so good that even when I go some place and get few things for Di or Mom, they like it quite a lot (even things like a Saree)...

So in the end, I would like to say to all Guys in the World that shopping can be really Fun, its all how you take to it. Plus after marriage or with a Girl Friend, you hardly get a choice of not accompanying them for shopping, so why not have fun instead of lamenting all the time, and in this way make it special for them....

Happy Shopping !!! :-)

High

What gives me the ultimate High ????

A question I have been trying to answer since quite long... Is it Cute Females, Drinking Vodka, Dancing, Driving, Listening to Music, Reading Books, Talking to some Intelligent ppl, Oogling at Sexy Cars and many things more...

The other day I discovered one more thing, and man this thing gave me such a high, I surely cannot forget for a looong time !!!

Here I was in the company, at the Engine Test Bed, with a IR temperature Gun in my hands. I had to measure the temperature of the Exhaust Manifold & TC for one of our engines at Rated Speed. So here I was in between two of our Engines, and both of them were at Rated speed - 4000 RPM+. The noise emanating from them was amazing, the feeling - heavenly... Two engines, both developing their Max Power, their Exhaust Manifolds & TCs were Red Hot and I was not even two feet away from either. The thrill knowing the brute power besides me was enough to give me an Ultimate High. Also realising the fact that if any of the engines had a breakdown I would surely have been in a very wrong place... But then whats life without some risk... So after taking all the necessary temperature readings I was out... Surely one of the most amazing experiences of my life...

Such experiences strengthen my desire to work more and more on Engines....
