The Boy who Dured!

It was THE day! 

Finally! 

Nikhil hadn’t slept all night! 

He was finally meeting Salman Khan! His only idol ever since he had seen the movie “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai”! Yes. You read it right! People notice and fall in love with SRK when they see “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai”! But that’s not the case for Nikhil! He man-crushed on Salman Khan!
I mean, did you even remember that Salman Khan was there in the movie! Anyway...

Ever since, he has attained durability in letting go of the lady loves of his life!

Whenever his older sister needs him, he’s always there by her side! And it’s sometimes irritating that when she’s calling out for her Mom, he would pop up in front her trying to rescue the damsel in distress! Because, that’s how reliable he absolutely HAS to be! Just like Jai. Jai aka Salman Khan in the movie “Jai Ho”! Don’t you remember Tabu yelling out his name so many times?! D’oh! 

But there’s one thing you just cannot take a gig on! His excellence in studies. A full on nerd, a science genius! Always a topper in class, throughout his boards’ exams as well as in the college now. You have to give it to him for this! And that’s why he’s a favourite of the house. 

This time though, he had taken his chances in something completely different and earned himself the fruits of his hard work! 

It is not easy to get through the crowd of Delhi and reach to the audition of “Salman’s Biggest Fan”! But being a Delhi Boy, he managed to survive the push & pull, dodge the punches & kicks, because for him it was a “do or die” situation. He would get to meet Salman Khan! Personally! 

His zeal and love for the man, did take him to the final three who would get to meet Salman Khan in Delhi during his “Race 3” promotions. And this was THE day. 

Nikhil hadn’t slept all night! 

He had his clothes sorted, since a week back! He took a shower and got all decked up. It took him two hours! Only to find a tweet by KRK that Salman Khan had fallen extremely sick and he wouldn’t be able to attend the Delhi promotions! This broke Nikhil’s heart. 

He started calling the point of contact person of the event but it went unanswered. All his calls and even messages went unanswered. He checked Salman Khan’s twitter page and there were no tweets about the day at all! Poor thing settled on the couch and sulked as the clock ticked by. He was supposed to reach the venue at 11:00 am which was just half an hour away. His phone rang. His best friend had called to wish him luck. Nikhil narrated the whole story to him. His best friend told him what a fool he was to believe KRK’s tweet as the twitter page of Indira Gandhi International Airport had just tweeted pictures of Salman Khan’s arrival! 

Now that was a shock for him! And with only 20 minutes left, he would never reach the venue on time, given the Delhi traffic! His best friend came for his recue. 

He rode on the pillion of the Thunderbird like a hero on royal chariot! 

Even though Nikhil couldn’t reach on time, for obvious reasons, he was allowed to enter and finally met Salman Khan! The Salman Khan!

Life Hacks - Digital This Time!

I'm sure you will find life hacks aplenty.
But did you also know about these:-

Go Incognito:

Well, if you need to handle more than one mail ID, or need to sneak into your Facebook account while at work, then Go Incognito!
When on Chrome, those three little dots in one line at the right end, just beside the address bar gives you the option of opening an Incognito window.


Store Images:

Love to click pictures? And hate to delete them!
Phone memory – down! External Hard Drive – also full! Google Drive is asking you to expand!
Well, when will Facebook come to your use?!
Create an Album on Facebook and dump all your pictures in that. Keep it visible only to yourself. As and when you want, browse through all those sweet and sour memories.


Share, but with Care:

Love that last selfie with your special one? But too many family members and probing neighbours on Facebook friend-list to post it?! Just exclude this group from your picture posts, or your Check-Ins or any other post!

D'oh! Go to the friend's account and place your cursor on the drop-down of the "Friends" tab. Then click on "Add to Another List". Go to the very bottom to find the "New List" option. Thus, create a group with which you do not want to share your pictures or posts.


Search Secretly:

Still keep typing that name out on Facebook search bar? Awww... Don't blush! We all do.
But don't forget to clean your search, just in case you don't get caught!
As you tap on the search bar, just below the blue Magnifying Glass, is the "Edit" tab.
Click on it and it will lead you to the page from where you can clear all that you've searched for!



Well, taking up the Digital Platform as a profession has taught me loads. Hope these hacks come in handy to you guys as well.
