The Old me

Yes,such unnerving thought raised in my mind when I came across my old snaps.My alter ego whispered in my ears last night 'I miss the old mohin'.That thought then lead me into the journey of flashback,where everything seems natural and real.Even the thought of the most impossible thing stood a chance.

It all started with my school days.How Jeff,Zain and me(The 3 menace creator)used to be in our anorexic years.We were quite popular,each in our respective ways.Zain was an athlete,Jeff was the good looking fella and I was the entertainer.Teacher never used to let us sit together as we were famous for our not so delightful escapades.
College days,the golden days to be more precise in anyone's  life changed a bit of me.Obviously,a new environment,a new feeling,a new life,changes are bound to take place.It thought me how to get along with people whom you barely know,how to be with each other in troubled times,how to bunk lectures,how to plan trips,how to get the feeling of crushes,heartbreaks and sometimes studies.:p
Zap into reality.Days come when one has to decide,whether to peruse further studies or opt for a job.Job was always in my mind.Gave an interview and got selected.'Responsibly' the word,which my mom keeps on yanking,finally started to make sense.Work assigned to me and the pressure of delivering it was the thing I was exited and the same time tensed.
During lunch hour,dreamland of college days takes over,cherishing all the beautiful years which I terribly miss.
Trend-be a post graduate.This is the thing which was not in my mind and I started to follow like a flock of sheep into the trend.Initially all exited,but soon realised its not what i wanted.Years went by and I completed my post graduation.My alter ego woke up and asked me 'what have you done?'.All this time I just wanted to prove something which was not necessary,wanted to fit in the fad,wanted to be respected.

I transformed into someone else.Someone who would see as a capable person because he has done his masters,someone who is big,someone who is sound and someone who can earn big bucks.
But most importantly I was not 'me'.I realised I had all that,its just how you look at it.Nevertheless something done can never go squander and its not late to be the 'old me' again.
WORK IN PROGRESS

Internet -Boon or Bane

A lot of you people must be thinking why would I write about the age old debate about the most common topic? Various discussions,participations,debates,arguments and defensive actions had been taken on this subject.The why am I writing about it? Simple,because it is the only thing which is common across various demographics and is affecting our lives in many ways.So let me tell you what I feel about the biggest phenomenon and how it changed the phase from information gathering to entertainment,from confidential to security issues and from socializing to hunting for jobs online.

When I first had internet installed at my place,it was something which would be considered as an ocean that has many things to explore.Where to go,what to do,how to do,all these questions were dancing in my mind.I had a dial-up connection which connects through landline  phones and during the course of connection,no phone calls would or can come.Those were the days where cell phones was a luxury and maximum a person could achieve would be a pager.Mom used to constantly crib about two things,one would be that the phone would  be always come engaged whenever she used to call and the other was the huge telephone bill.

As technological upgraded ,I also shifted to cable connection,where there would be 24/7 cable connection.It overcame mom's complaints and made us available to the galaxy of online universe throughout.The first thing I got addicted to was 'Yahoo messenger'.First me and my friends used to chat with each other for the sake of it,because it was something new and trendy for us.Then I came across something called as 'chatrooms',where we can chat with the entire world.But things started to become from exiting to monotonous and from good to worse.Soon I realised it was taking a toll on my life and I drifted apart from it.

Next came the very first step into the world of social networking - 'ORKUT'.It was something which was very very very new to our generation (I was 16 years old at that time).The idea of 'scraps' was very unique and intrigue.Soon orkut filled with people across the world and used to chat with my friends through orkut.There were many social networking sites available like 'HI5','myspace',but orkut pulled the crowed like anything.
This was just the communication part.But internet soon came to be something more than just information collection or communication.Videos,torrents,music became part of our daily life,It was like;if the PC doesn't have an internet connection,then it is just another furniture in the house.

Internet in true terms is a bane if we look into it in that way.The only bane is ourselves.It depends upon us how we use or misuse the online medium.It is a man-made creation to serve the purpose of need or fill the gap.
Internet era has arrived and it here to stay till eternity.

A NEW MODE - YouTube Videos

Hello everyone,yes its been a year since i have not blogged.Actually I never blog,but I came to know that this is the best medium to actually put all your thoughts and feeling and release your inner burden.Burden not necessarily be a bad one,but can be anything which I feel like posting or sharing.So here it goes

The title of my new post means something.Yes I am into Video Shooting now.Apart from my passion for photography I discovered my funny side by expressing it in a way by creating videos.I have been posting videos since August 2011 on YouTube and I am getting a fair response from there.Let me tell you how it all started.

I had an YouTube account since 2006.I posted video of my best buddy Himanshu over there just for fun.During that time YouTube was just in its initial days and was not that popular.Then i uploaded a video which was famous in our society 'THE KARATE KIDS'.Actually these videos were not meant to be shared with public as such.I just wanted to use YouTube as a database to store my videos.Then after a few months I just happen to check the views.It counted to 280 and I was astonish that people are actually viewing the video.But that didn't ring any bell into my mind to make videos

Years passed by and himanshu shared a video on my facebook wall.It was of nigahiga's 'How to be an emo'.I viewed it and was laughing like anything.Then I browsed all of  his videos and instantly became his fan.He was the first person on  YouTube to whom i had subscribed to.Then it struck'ed me to make scripted videos and post it on  YouTube.Himanshu and I made our first scripted video 'INTRODUCTION - GANG OF 4'.It was a lame attempt and was inspired by nigahiga's videos.It was in October 2010 that we posted it on YouTube.

Then days passed by and I began to think YouTube as a serious medium where we can actually showcase our funny side and make really good videos.But Himanshu was not serious at all.He just passed the idea and kept me hanging by saying that 'yes we'll do it',but when he didn't say that.I also didn't push him that much during that time.I again put forward the idea of YouTube to himanshu,but he again passed the idea and laughed.Then I said to myself that its not possible at all.But one fine day,what came into himanshu's mind and he himself came and said that lets make a video.I was both confused and exited  at that time and didn't care as to why suddenly he came up with this.I came to  know the reason that he fought with his better half and wanted to shift away from that thought.

We shot a video that would depict our life as to how useless and frustrated it is.We decided to call it the 'Vlog Series ' that would be in episodes.We uploaded it on YouTube but we were a little apprehensive to share it on the various social medias cause we were thinking that people would make fun of us.Then we thought that people will keep on saying,that should not stop us from doing anything.So i shared it on my facebook wall and the first comment i got was 'What the hell is this'.In a way I was expecting this.But I was confident that at first everyone will laugh and then in the course of time they'll will get used to it and think of us as the funniest guys.

And that thing happened when we posted are Vlog episode 2 video which made everyone laugh and everybody was complementing us.Then from that day onwards  there was no looking back.We made a total of 5 video of Vlog series and it fetched really good views and comments and promoted it in every forums and sites which we could.Because of this I also came to know about my domain that made me interested in DIGITAL MARKETING.

I got a mail from YouTube stating that our videos were fetching a decent views would you like to monetize it and place ads over your videos.On hearing this himanshu and I was supper exited and accepted the offer with  open arms.Till now we are making funny videos and will continue to do so as long as we can.Our aim as of now is to become YouTube partners,but I guess that has to wait.

This was it.A new Mode A new Beginning.Hope we succeed in what we are doing...:-)

Sleepless Nights Are Here

Yes getting nocturnal was one thing,but transforming into insomniac is way out of thinking
No i know what exacly is going in yout minds...Its nothing like i am partying all night or talking with someone,its presentations that is responsible  for it.

The bombardment of PowerPoint presentations by different faculty members of my collage has kept me attached to the computer like a fevicol.Meeting anyone?I cant even pick up a call,nor message anyone and even cannot be with my family for a family time.Forget that,FACEBOOK which is considered to be the GOD of youth and socializing,has kept me away from accessing it. To top it all there is even a presentation on library readings.I mean what?Only one saving grace is the subject 'OB',which requires to watch movies as assignments

 But in a way it is good.We get to have the  knowledge about various stuffs,various sectors,personalities,sporting events,politics etc.It also encourages and motivates how to give presentation in front of  the large audience and overcomes the fears and also the myths about giving it.The pressure indulged behind it is outstanding and when the results are positive,its just give the exhilarating experience and a wishful satisfaction

Keeping in mind  the sleepless thing i have written some funny lines about it

"Sleepless Nights Are Here,
 Dreaming Is Gone For A TOSS
 I Thought I Was Clear,
 But This Is Just The Beginning BOSS"

YES,you all can make out,i am not poetic at all.In fact i have murdered it.These are all symptoms of doing MMS course.Well i will get a hang of it sooner or later,till then chant my poem and get traumatized.

Bye everyone,Take care

Introduction

Hey everyone,this is me MOHIN KHAN or MOHIN-THE GREAT,well I consider myself that :-)
This is my first ever blog and seriously,I don't want to start a blog.I hate the concept of blogging.
But this task has been assigned to me and I'll do my best to keep it the best.

Enough of that...Let me introduce myself properly.
I am an outgoing kind of a guy who loves to live life to the fullest.I seriously LOVE doing comedy :p and I apply it here,there and everywhere..beacause I think life will always have ups and downs and we always enjoy or celebrate the ups but frown in downs...so even if life gives us a down phase or anything bad I try to induce humor into it.

I live with my parents...have two sisters..one is  married and has a very mischievous son AKSHAT.

My best friend's name is HIMANSHU(I call him MANU) and together we rock and enjoy and bring the house down.We are famous for our notorious escapades..:-)

Speaking of interests i love photography,cars,bikes,computers and all the gadgets and technologies one would envy.I also like to travel a lot and explore new new places.I love doing these stuffs with my accomplice MANU.I am not really a guy who reads books but yeah i have had a brush with few of them...'TELL ME UR DREAMS"-SIDNEY SHELDON.."DA VINCI CODE"...
"THE SECRET"-RHONDA BYRNE(I simply adore this book) and all books of chetan bhagat.
Music is my life n i enjoy it to the core....can listen to envious hours.I dont have any genre specification because I listen to any kind of music which gives me pleasure...rock,hip-hop,Indian,south(yeah i do listen to it) are some of my favorites...but as I said,any good music can do me good) 

I had a hobby of collecting stamps,but as i grew up it got faded away and so as the hobbies also changed.To name a few I would say lazing around,sleeping,watching T.V.,playing computer games....hehehhe.I know its not the typical stereotype hobby...but this is what i enjoy the most 

After graduation i gave an interview in ICICI BANK and got selected.I worked there for a year and a half as a software engineer and decided to call it quits...because I wanted to pursue my further studies.

Well this is me guys and I would be writing about my journey od MMS in RIZVI INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT....how it all stared..what transformation I'll go through...new friends blah blah blah!!.
So guys get ready to bear with me and hopefully you'll get used to me :p

Take care everyone....adios
