Thread: Most Memorable Moments

archer said something about his being out with friends. lets wait for archie to come online.

hmm we can wait for him to come

Hmm. A lot of posts but a few are rather shy of sharing personal memories. Well, I don't think that anyone wants to pry into personal memories for someone else. I promised mine. So here they are:

• I had always been a bright student but I want not expected to top. I topped Std. X at my school and scored 121/150 in English to boot.
• Acted as an extra in the movie "Gandhi" by Sir Richard Attenborough (the scenes in South Africa where Gandhiji burns the i-card/passes issued to non-whites). Had the honour of shaking hands with him. Amrish Puri was not very well known in those days and I had a good chat with him also. Very down to earth person.
• Driving T-72 and Vijayanta tanks.
• First trip abroad to Germany.
• Birth of my son and the day he took his first steps.
• Taking possession of my first flat/apartment.

wow, those are real dream come true sequences.
where did u drive the T-72 ????????
I m going to find and watch "Gandhi" once again . (last time I saw it was many years ago and I dont remember a thing ) was that shot taken in south-africa ? were u a junior artist or acted professionally back then ?

Wow thanks for sharing those with us, you defiantly do have some good memorable moments in your life! Hope there will be more to come!

The most memorable moment of my life is the day when I got the offer letter for the job.

I graduated in May 2005. After that I attended all the campus interviews, interviews in all the top IT companies. Almost more than 50 companies.In all the interviews I cleared the aptitude test & the technical interview.but failed to clear the last round (HR round). I was totally broken & I dint want to live.I dint want to attend any more interviews.

Then one morning (24th Jan 2006, Tuesday), my fiend called me saying there's a campus interview in our college.Computer Science Corp (CSC India) had come to campus placement.I told my friend that I wasn't interested & kept the phone.
My father told me to attend the interview.He told me try for one last time.

Then I attended the campus interview.Gave the aptitude test. Out of 9000, 92 were selected for the tech interview & I was one among them.

Next day (25th Jan 2006, Wednesday) I attended the tech interview & cleared it. The HR round was on 27th Jan as 26th Jan was a holiday.

Then on 27th Jan 2006,Friday..I attended the HR round.It went well & at the end of the interview.I was handed over the offer letter.I could believe it. I was in tears. I was crying very badly. I was speaking to myself " Dad/Mom, I have done it."

I came home, showed the offer letter to my parents. They were very happy. This is what I wanted to see...To see my parents happy...That day was the most happiest day in my life.

Every child wants to see their parents happy.what other better job have they (son/daughter) got other than make/see their parents happy....

that was a great thing that happened to u Ramesh.
I m glad for u.

Like all, I have many personal memories... I'll share few of them...

> Getting admission in school of my dreams. (age 6)
> Learnt to ride(balance) my small cycle(not tobu) on same day it was gifted to me (age 6)...
> First Kiss. (age 14)
> Cycle race champion at district level. (age 17)
> Winning chess & TT competition(doubles) at college level. (age 19-20)
> Campus Selection (keep guessing current age...lol)

That was suppose to be a joke. I never had any such luck. :sad:

@Evander, My brother-in-law was a Major in the Army in the Armoured Corps. Hence I was able to drive a tank. Did not drive for long - just a KM or less. The experience was different - there are joysticks that control the two tracks; each are independently controlled. To turn the tank in one direction, brakes are applied to one opposite track.

I was an extra in the movie Gandhi. The entire South African sequences (about 15~20 mins in the beginning) were shot at Pune. A lot of it was shot in my college - Fergusson College, Pune. I was a hostelite student at that time and we were requested to act as extra in the crowd shots. We did not have to do much - just stand in the blazing May sun for hours together. It was quite boring really and me and my other friends cannot be spotted anywhere. I do not have the DVD but once I taped it and pause the scene where I was supposed to be there - could not spot myself with any accuracy. But we got paid handsomely - Rs. 15 plus Lunch per day - which was a handsome sum in those days.

:cursing: Thanks for the advice... But, I'm not a NOVA either...

For me a "Casanova" has always meant - A guy who is popular among girls.

Well, I consider myself somewhere in between Nova & Casanova...
