Yahoo to Matrimonial.com

Year 2000,I have created my first id aruna_Chourey@rediffmail.com .
Yes,started with Rediffmail.It was my official mail id, as we normally refer.Very soon it has been replaced by yahoo(yahoo chat) which I assume  as my 1st Social networking id ,in today's web language.
Remember those days when we used to go cyber cafe mostly to check mails but always looking yahoo online list.Chatting with people for an hour(know or unknown) by paying 20-30 Rs.Yahoo was really a good player in Social and official networking.
Then a new player came into picture called "GMAIL" and it has clean bold Yahoo...totally taken over official and Social networking.It has played a long inning...very long and still has a good health and game.
Till this time what  I feel is,people were happy and satisfied.Because their circle was limited..there friends were only few and they were only connected to people who were really connected.
Then suddenly somebody came up with a very new technique a way to fill the empty space we have in life(Until then we haven't even realised it).that's called ORKUT!!! a way to connect to people beyond limit..new frens ..new ways to fill your empty space.And we started thinking..he(orkut) is our friend for life.
But what next..everybody knows.....FB has changed everything.Today If you ask anybody "Do you have fb account?" see his/her response.Now no more orkut exist and I will not blame FB...We all knew its going to happen.As usual this time also we found something new to explore and again we started as FB is going to be a part of life...that's the way we can be happy.
But  slowly many of us(including me) have realised that basically we are looking at wrong place.
Basic question now: what we are looking for ?? and where we can find that?? So why not lets try Matrimonial sites this time;)
And I knew many of us already started!!! Wish you all the very best..hope this time you all will find someone who can fill empty space in your life...for lifetime. 

Life Is Beautiful !!!



This post is dedicated to all people who has made my life easy and happy... miles away from my Home Country.You might be thinking why such a late response...well then I would say,feelings always takes time to be expressed into words:)
 Its about  my experience very far from my comfort zone.away from my people,my country and my pride..where people understand what I say and I can understand them even without words.
          My very first experience the day I reached Denmark and at night reached to my house(where already 6 Guys were staying on top)...I was hungry...little tired ,scared in this new country and with the new experience which is ready to welcome Me.In this situation you only need food and good sleep and I was not sure of any..To my surprise my Colleague had prepared dinner already...I did not know how to express this feeling..but I felt very blessed that day :)
          A comfort feeling comes when you are walking to work for the first time in this new country where nobody knows your language and you see a smiling face wishing you a good morning.:) ..That was my first learning I had "Smile :) ,it makes things easy and it does not have language barrier!!"
            When you travel miles away from your  own people you definitely will be mentally prepared for all the challenges..Imagine a new office where you do not know anybody . 1st day when I entered to the office(scared from inside,still showing confidence).Smile on face ,with a mix of surprise and lots of hope in me(I thanked God to see few Indian faces )...I did not know anybody (with him/her I can laugh ..that was my biggest worry;) .Now tell me how you will feel when people give you a smile..ask you for lunch...actually help in finding the places...eager to show you their country..some times they will come to pick you and they show around the city.Second lesson I learnt.."Help is something you offer without somebody asking you :)"
        Think!! In this unknown country ,they are actually inviting you for lunch/dinner...their wives will prepare cookies(very tasty) for you and will pack some for you(You will remember your mom for sure..Thanks ).People will call you when they are planning for shopping and will tell you from where you can buy good things.
      When in this new country you will go to the some Danish colleague home and his two kid will love a small gift you have given in spite of a room full of all the toys.When the kids who do not understand your language neither you can ..still play with you for hours and hours(Love you Kids)....they do not find any difference....when his wife want to learn some Indian food...and by mean it.
       When on your last day your Bose who was on leave come to say bye to you and her young daughter give you a Hug..I mean I felt so happy when young Eda hugged me:).When somebody brings B'day cake before because you will be leaving soon:)
      When you are going to different country and not sure which train you should take for destination, you ask a old lady..who can not understand your language ...but she will take you to the person and will find out the details..
        when you ask if there is any thing vegetarian and aunt will prepare 5 Vegetarian and really good dishes for you...
          I know these are not big things but also not very common.We always ignore small things in life which are basically a big part of our life.Those are the moments I felt so happy ,I can not express in words,I feel I am very lucky to experience all this and it give me a immense pleasure.
        There are many more such small stories and this is what I called is my onsite experience."In every part of world, people love honesty and love you, if you trust them and show your love......Life Is Beautiful ...:)"

This is my way to thank all of them who made my journey a Memorable part of  my life:)
