My Experiences as
Pravs J |
| |
|
Its been long that
Pravs World has been around, I really
had some superb experiences with this
name - Pravs J.
Thought to share a few here, every time
I remember any of these experiences, I
just smile to myself. But these are
really very special to me... read on and
I guess even you would find it
interesting.

Cyber Cafe |
| |
|
This is my favorite
incident, happened in a cyber cafe . I was
checking my mails, and I found that a girl sitting
at the next work station checking the mails that I
had send a day before.
I thought to start a conversation and said, "Nice
pictures, where did you get them from? which
site?" She gave me a look like what's your problem
dude, mind your business, but she did reply, "My
friend mailed them to me."
I said "Can you mail them to me?", thinking that
she would ask my email address and know it was me;
but she was really smart; instead she told me that
there is this website called theworldofpravsj (old
name of Pravs World), you can go and subscribe and
I will get all the mails."
I was actually smiling that someone here is
telling me how to subscribe to my groups, but then
I said "I am kind of new to Internet, I will be
glad if you can help me please."
Starting to lose her patience she was thinking to
get rid of me in any way possible, finally she
opened my site, to subscribe me to my mailing
group, and by this time I was laughing loud in my
mind.
Finally she came at the subscription page and
asked my email address, and when I told her it,
she realize it was Pravs, and I fooled her all
way.

Love Finds Its Way |
| |
|
I'm glad this happened. One of
my personal friends from engineering days, Saurabh
was subscriber of Pravs World.
After our graduation, he started working with a
software company. And for the first time he fell
madly in love with a colleague. I still remember he
was one shy guy when it came to girls. So one
day finally Saurabh dared to convey his feelings for
her; not thru words but by sending a poem from Pravs
World.
Things clicked, and she asked Saurabh if he meant
what was written in the poem, the answer was
instantaneous, YES.
They fell in love with each other and today are a
happily married couple. |

Duplicate Pravs J |
| |
|
This happened in Bangalore.
I had been there for a project, and before I left
I had dropped in a message on Pravs World that I
am traveling to B'lore and passed on my number so
that I could get to meet a couple of friends from
the group.
I finally reached Bangalore in evening, tired
cause of travel went off to sleep quite early.
Around 3:00am got a call, I picked up the cell and
some girl literally screamed, Hi Pravs!. I said,
'Who's this?'. This girl just kept on going,
saying things like 'What, you don't recognize me?'
and so on.. I was already deep in sleep, I told
her, 'I'm really sorry, but I didn't recognize
you, can you introduce yourself?'
I got a strange reply from other side, 'Are you
sure that you are Pravs J?', for a moment I
did think am I really, I said, 'Excuse me, I know
myself. Please tell me who are you looking for?'.
She said she's looking for Pravs from Pravs
World, I replied that's me.
She went on and saying that maybe I am some
different person and there might be some other
Pravs working in Pravs World. By this time
I was wide awake, and told her that if she thinks
Pravs World is a company, then there is only one
person in Pravs World, who is Pravs and
she is talking with that person now.
She gave up.. said sorry to disturb late night as
she was working in a call center and hung up.
Next day, I sent her an SMS, only to confirm if
she found her Pravs. Got a explanation from
her saying another guy named Pravin who used to
forward messages from Pravs World to her and she
had mistaken that guy to be Pravs.
But thanks to her, I stayed awake for another hour
or two that night thinking who that other Pravs J
is. Some identity crisis!

My Bike |
| |
|
I had earlier mentioned my
bike's number in the 'About Pravs J' section, I
never thought I would come across any one but then
one day while I was going over a highway, I saw a
bike following me. I thought this guy is trying to
race me, so I went on as fast as I can, race with
this guy for some 5-6 Kms, until when we stopped
on a signal. He came next to me and said, "Are you
Pravs J?".
I asked, "How do you know?"
Surprisingly the answer was, "I read about you on
your site, and I know your bike number."
And I had some really funny accidents with my
bikes, would post them soon.

Business & Pravs World |
| |
|
This happened with Sachin,
another friend of mine and took me by surprise when
I read what he had mailed me.
Sachin manages his business, he was to meet a CEO
for some business deal. He just happen to have his
email address and would regularly forward messages
from Pravs World to him. Finally, when Sachin
met this CEO, they ended up discussing about the
mails and Pravs World, and it was a cakewalk for
Sachin to secure a big order from the company. |

These are a few experiences I
had. But what keeps me going are the small
experiences that touch me everyday... when I get
mails from people telling me how Pravs World helped
them to move on with life, when someone says Pravs
World is his or her best friend, or some sweet girl,
who's mentally challenged refers to me as Pravin
dada (big brother).
What inspires me... are these small incidents, they
are like reminders for me.. telling me not to stop..
cause someone somewhere might just require a little
inspiration.
I don't do anything great, all that I do through
Pravs World can be explained just in two words - 'I
Share'.
Keep sharing, you never know who's life you are
touching. |
