22nd February 2010,My Story
Monday,working day for me.It started good.........well at least better than Sunday.Plenty of work as two days of holiday and so all pending work needed to be done......like virus scanning,sending the burnt HDD to workshop,also my colleague "Pandeji" was preparing to go to INDIA for holiday.
A personal note:I feel jealous,he can go home and enjoy.............
Connie was still not feeling good so i prepared some soup for her,and i was very happy to see that she was feeling better and smilling,she has the most amazing smile........when we were having soup and chatting,Mark the Frenchman came back from his Holidays.It was great to see him again.As i returned to work in the afternoon after saying goodbye to pandeji,it started raining,the whole afternoon it rained and it continued till night and so my plan of washing and drying my clothes were washed away by rain.
As on Sunday the evening was boring and lonely,on Monday it got exiting and fun,as we all gather in the Tukol.Sahnnon Prepared tasty spaghetti,connie,who was back to her old self shredded some mozzarella cheese.After Dinner Mark took out his Guitar and played some good tune of good songs and we enjoyed the evening drinking beer and soda.
Late atNight, Connie got a real smile on her face when Nurse Sahnnon allowed her to drink beer,man she was so overjoyed,smiling and it felt great to see her like this.
Later we were joined by "The Runaway bride",Oh yea i didn't tell you all about her.Hewr nema eis Shiila,she is a great person to be with,she is very friendly,hillarious and always on the move.She never stays intorit for more than a week,thus the name "Runaway bride" is Knighted to her.
After 10 i retired as i was sleepy but calls from Khartoum and Mumbai kept me awake and so i decided to join the party.At this moment the party had changed as the big drink(Smirnoff) was brought out and Shiila was quite pleased as she prefers it more than beer.
Well at about 11.30 the party got over and we all retired.
so all in all an awesome day with friends and off course at work.

21th February 2010,My Story
Ahhhhhhhhh Sunday one of the best days in the week, and so it should have been but it was not.The day started with disaster,due to power surge my power adapter blew up,a computer HDD of a very important computer burnt out and a UPS in Server room blew up.A day which should have been an holiday and relaxing turned into a day of tension.The evening was also boring with everyone tired and connie not feeling well,we retired early to bed,except me,i was busy watching STARWARS and Roberto gave me his Internet stick and so i was able to use mail after two days without Internet.
But this life, you cannot have everything going on as planned,things like this make u realize that how wonderful life is and what challenges it offers and our duty as human beings is to accept and go through with the challenges of life.

20th February 2010,My Story
Hi everyone,my name is aman singhal.Today i start my blog........well i would like to re frame it,who ever reads my blog would explore my world.....well not all of it i would keep some secrets.
So well shall i begin.........hmmmmmmmm well let me share with you from the point i arrived in Khartoum city,capital of Sudan,i came here to work in United Nations mission in Sudan(UNMIS).I arrived on 8Th of December,tired as i didn't sleep due to my flight being at 5.45 in the morning.I arrived with a smiling face but deep inside i was SAD because i was missing my home, Internet and my daily l
lifestyle but after one day i got used to the Surrounding and why is that because the owner of the guesthouse in which i was staying was from MUMBAI,my city and so it was like living in INDIA.His name is Tarek and in the course of a moth we became good friends or should i say BROTHERS.Another great person was my former Team Leader "Deepak Pachauri",he was very supportive and guided me and my colleagues.He is good by nature and very professional and a great Mentor

My first week was boring as nothing due except for the Party we had,it was great party,i wore blue jeans,black shirt and my blazer.It was a out of control party.It started very quietly but soon went into full swing as the Drinks arrived,well i am non alcoholic guy so i stuck to soda.There is a great advantage of not drinking Alcohol.You can watch and enjoy your friends after they are drunk and it because the way they behave,it is like you are an audience in a comic show and the most important,if u see a drunk girl.well she would need a solid stable shoulder to rest and well Ur's is the Best available since you are in conscious.
The 2ND week started and i had my induction course about the mission and this the place where i met "Annabella",a Philippine Police officer or UNPOL in UN.I was sitting right at the front and she was second last.When ever i use to turn towards her she use to smile and i sue to smile back.In break time we were talking and she asked for my help with her laptop.Three days i was seeing her regarding her laptop issue and in 3 days we really became good friends and through her i met nice people,she stayed in CHINA House and so i met nice Chinese people and one of them,his name is Woo became like brother to me.
where i am now,she wanted me to be in WAU and she expressed it with joy.I too wanted to be in WAU,to be with her and i tried for it but destiny had other plans for me,it sent me to the south of SUDAN to a place or should i say a heaven called TORIT.
Before i Arrive to Torit i needed to go to JUBA, it is the sector HQ and the biggest city in the south.In JUBA it was decided in JUBA that i shall be placed in TORIT.I was happy to hear this because my good friend "Chhoy".Chhoy and i met in Khartoum,he was living in the same guest house,chhoy is a great guy,thanks to him we were having parties on almost daily basis in that guest house.
after a week i was on my way to TORIT,not only it was my first time to visit Torit but also my first Helicopter ride.I was exited and Nervous.The distance was only 45 min.When i was in the Helicopter i did not know that one of my companion will become a very good friend.Her name is "Connie".After i arrived in Torit i met my colleague "Pandeji,he is a great guy and he gave me all the support i required.I also met two Indian UNPOls,who were living with pandeji outside.i chose to live insdie the camp.
A small unfortunate but significant incident led me to me a person called Mark Trombley.Mark and i became good friends that first night,later on i was
introduced to new great people,who were sharing a community called "Tukol".Tukol is a a beautiful HUT.It is called "UNFSIH HQ".A name given by UNFISH 1.UNFISH 1 were teh people who build this Tukul.UNFISH stands for United Nations Fiasco in some place Hot.
I was invited in the Tukol by connie and there i met all the memebers(Connie,oliver,Mark trombley, Mark from france,janice).I can Still remember my first dinner with UNFISH 2.Connie had cooked lantil Soup and it was delicious.After that dinner i started visiting the tukol everyday and soon became a memeber and good friends with everyone.
In UN things are not predictable,Mark trombley got transferred to Khartoum and janice to bohr.Oliver's mission was coming to an end.Speaking of Oliver,he is like my brother,a brother in Germany.He is a sweet guy and so nice,with him i felt like i am with a family member and i would always hear to his department's It issues at top priority.Oliver was great baker and we nicknamed him "Baker of Torit".He use to make great bread we all use to enjoy a lot.to connie ,he was her little brother.Oli left Torit at the end of January.
Speaking of Connie,what can i say she is a sweet person,she is caring and off course a good dancer.She is from Columbia.i like to call her "Sensei" since she teaches me how to do salsa and believe me i suck at it.tTo me Connie is a special and dear friend,i had an argument with her once and it felt really bad,Connie is a wonderful person,so i was really depressed and angry with myself,actually i was in tension when i met connie and so i was s0 worried inside and because of it i argued but in the end we closed on good terms and are good friends, i feel better than before since friends argue it only strengthens their bond.
I didn't get to spend much time with Janice but she is a great person and friend.She loves Indian food.Mark is funny guy and he is a person who brings good humor.The other mark is.......how should i say good in making faces and making you laugh .

It Won't be appropriate if i Don't mention Maj Rabbi,Tuskin,Amin.They were Are protectors,members of Bangladeshi army and great people to hangout with and play Cricket.
Maj Rabbi is just like a big brother,A day before he left for home,we had great chat,he showed me his family photos and trips with them,i miss him.We are in touch and i intent to visit Bangladesh and meet him.
The day Oli left i met two new people(Chris and Shannon).Chris Is UNFISH 2,so when i came,he was on leave.Shannon was new member,unfortunately i couldn't me them till evening since i was in hospital and IV due stomach infection.
Chris is a hilarious guy.You should not beieve the first thing that comes from his mouth since it is 99% joke,like ice diving.............I would love todo it.........eheheh.......
Shannon,............hmmmmmmmmm how should i put it,i see bugs bunny in her,in other words,she makes really funny faces.
As a person Chris,Connie and Shannon are graet people to be with.I am truly greatful for being here in TORIT with them and i hope to enjoy many many days with them,dys filled with laughter and fun,and when they leave i will really missss them aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalotttttttttttttttttttttttttt.
Note:Chris always looses to me in Volleyball.
Well, when you don't plan on something and it happens,u enjoy that moment very much.Something like this happened two weeks ago,when we just finned dinner with our friend Surgee.Shannon and Connie just Started playing music on their laptops and the night just got better,We started dancing.I had my first lesson salsa from connie and so did shanon,where I couldn't do it properly,shannon really got into the Grove.
But the star of the evening was Sirgee,he really danced the night away with his marching style and congo style,Pretty Hilarious.The Night so good but the next day that bad,except me all the others got a baddddddddd hangover and vomiting,ekkkkkkkk.
This Friday too we had same night,unplanned and it was great.Though Sirgee was not present,we had two new people(Roberto and Hans),Roberto can really salsa........We really did dance an by the end we dripping wet in sweat.......We really enjoy this night and we call it Tukol Night.We plan to do this every week but always hopping for an unplanned one,because when we planned it was so boring.
Saturday was quite day where we,in the evening had drinks,listened to quite music and enjoy good time with friends.
I tell one thing, i am truly grateful for being here,specially in TORIT as friends i have here are special and great people,i love them all and i know we will be friends for life.
