It’s all so funny!

September 26th, 2006

 I don’t know but since morning I am grinning from ear to ear!!! It’s funny but then whenever there is a pressurising situations and circumstance(i think both these words mean the same,anyways, it looks more glamourous), i always grin. Everything around me will all of sudden turn into one seriousness challenge(opposite of laughter challenge!)……….no matter how much i try but everything will have a funnier side and one can find me laughing like stupids!
I was in office at 5:15 a.m., well to be here at this hour ofcourse i got up at 3:00 a.m so that finally i can be out of the bed by 3:30 a.m and then there i was like a pretatma walking down the road for the cab but the cab was already there.Grrrrrrrrrr…………
And then the driver comments,why have u applied oil in hair or what? I am like even if yes then why should on earth it matter to you……..but neverthless i answer him no and stupidily ask him the reason as well(again the funny syndrome at work)……he feels that my hair look flattened, now don’t ask what did he mean by this ‘cos I have no fair idea and never bothered to ask. The only difference i was able to make that instead of my hair half tied, i made a pony today………

I sat there in the cab flicking music channels, one day i am sure my right hand thumb will give away due to excessive sms and this game playing in the cab with the music channels! Well a piece of advice for all those who plan to fall in love with an outstation guy! Get married soon, else, the fingers in ur hand will be all broken one day due to sms game or else u will keep hearing the sounds in ur ears due to excessive talking on phone……….some may feel that why on first place have an outstation boyfriend? Nice thought but then u may never know when you are love struck………..heeeeeeee-heeeeeeeee……….never mind all this, over all it’s a great feel to be in love and to be loved.Now I don’t know if m out of my mind or what but then I just had 4-5 hours of sleep and here i am sitting and writing a blog(I should be working on balance sheet on a serious note) but then since morning I have been hit by this funny syndrome so I am making sure that every one around me is laughing…………
Our company has appointed a new housekeeping person…….mr.lechrous……well- well, he is our Ops manager and a firang but then today he charged himself after the housekeeping blokes and asked for the disinfectant and cleaned the toilet!!!!!!! so my company driver told me not to worry now, in case the housekeeping ppl do not turn up we have our back up ready…………..heeeeeee-heeeeeeeeeee
Oh yes! The GM is working in australia. I asked something in australia from my immediate senior and I was amazed to receive a reply from him and out of sheer fun i complained about another firang here in India and posted a smiley too, ok don’t be too shocked, GM also believes in posting the smileys and to my utter surprise he replied back”not to fear, i am at rescue, u won’t be killed and smiley”……….………i had fit of laughter and I told every one around me that he is working today, u better contact him for all x,y,z…………..lets see………..

Ok, now time to wind up the blog(ok i know its not complete and no i am not throwing a fit or something), it’s just that my sweetheart is online so I will laugh with him now(i can already see raised eyebrows and questions thrown at me, wait when time comes I will answer them)…………….till then chill, i will be back with a bang and all smiles

 So the blog is over, I have been writing very often since last 2-3 days, donno how i managed but then i am all in haze with all the developments happening around me except something good on personal level and I think thats the only thing that is keeping me motivated…………..I hope that the things will be alright soon, I am waiting for them to be in place, the only thing which is bothering me is the fate of all the employees who are in the company, what happens to them if we are downsizing or even on the verge of shut down………..God only knows………
But then the life goes on……….it will keep going on no matter what……..

It happened, why?

September 20th, 2006

I never thought that this could ever happen with her. I mean we all were mentally prepared for lot many things but then never so soon and she was the least expected one………but then it has happened with her as well.
She is my friend and the operations coordinator for the organization and as of now she handled the HR.But then that was the managements’ decision to put her in HR and they gave her the salary raise too.

She was the oldest employee in the company, she was here since the inception of the company! And now she is no more working here and now she is no more shouting on my head and she is no more asking for nutties and she is no more calling names…………..why would she, how can she? My cabin is empty………..vacant of any feelings, vacant of any laughter, vacant of any noise, vacant of love and affection…………..simply vacant and devoid of anything…………my right side is no more occupied. There was nooone in the morning to ask me to put the wire of the laptop in the socket, there is no one who will shake my chair to keep me awake, there is noone who wud say”kya hua mere bacche, kya hua” when i wud be howling and growling………there is noone with whom i can be child like and play pranks with……………there is noone who will make her shoulders dance on rock and roll sonihye…..there is noone who wud share my veggie food when it is ordered from outside, there is noone to share my home made breakfast in office……….yeah she is still there but then no one is here………

Our company is downsizing, there will be more cuts and God knows who is next on target but then they could have avoided this scene anyways. Why her? Was she wrong that she took a challange and tried stream lining the HR department? Was it a fault on her part to point out the laxities in the system? Were we wrong that we all loved her, respected her or rather adored her? Is it wrong to be the back bone of the company…………..if every one respected her then why she was asked to leave? When she had always been around in all thick and thin then why was she targeted?
Just because she was on 42K, just because she could always work out the means to do the work, just because we stuck together……………..i fail to understand as to why the management cannot justify her exit?
They called her and told her that her profile is no longer required, that she is a burden on the company as it is too much of money involved, they told her that if she wants she can stay for another 2 weeks but even if she leaves now it will not make any difference, they will pay her in full………….then we took a decision that there is no need for her to stay even for 2 weeks.Why stay and get humiliated?

People are shocked, they still feel that she will be back.She will be here to take care of them……….just the way she has always been there.
It all started on a funny note. When I came here i always thought she was a serious girl, we wud chat on msgr but only work related things……..I would always be skeptical in discussing things with her………..but then we grew closer.She was always a grown up kid………….she was one person to be fun with.She would make me eat all the nonsense things which according to her were good.And she will always sit with me at any outing as we would share our vegetarian food. We both will sneer at non veg people.She will always force me to bribe her with nutties when she will do some transfer into my cell or do something like that!!!!! Then i grew into habit of bribing her in advance every time I want her to do something for her………..when she will be angry i will buy her nutties, when she will be happy i will buy her nutties…………and out of the whole pack she will give me one small one saying “this is prasad”…………..memories……………..

It was difficult to part but part we did. There will be no more miss calls at the time of cab pick up………….there is no one who will bring the milk for me, reason being I had never tasted the cavenders milk shake!!!!! So she will bring is milk for me daily in her shaker with different flavours. She will fight with anyone who will make me stay back in the office………we will conspire together, we will laugh together…………..it was all fun. We even planned our offs together as the other one sure gonna to miss other one.
May be all good things come to an end……………..but then like this, why?

May be whatever has happened, happened for good……………but then I am relaxed that she is out of this mess, she is going to enjoy her freedom, she will no more be a forced ‘yes man’ to the seniors……………..and above all she is my friend

Me, Adi and the pink balloon

September 18th, 2006

 Adi and I share a very funny relationship. I know its funny to say this! (It seems that I am going to stuck with the word funny this time ) this Saturday when I visited home, I took nutties and choclate for him. Well there was no reason for me to carry them but then I think I had promised him that I will buy him nutties so I took one for him. He was sleeping when I reached home and nudged him. Well, when ma got to know that I have brought him the nutties, she tasted and started scolding  me "waise toh acchi hai par tu kyun yeh gandi cheej lekar aayi hai." So I am grinning from ear to ear at her comment, she ended up eating atleast 2-3 pieces from the packet before I snatched the packet and asked her to  keep the same in the fridge! Moms they are always like that. Never mind that.


In the evening me and my brother walked to my nani's place. On the way he slapped me on my buttocks and said "abe kitni mottee ho gayi hai tu." and since then I have undergone depression for the same. I will kill the devil (my brother) ..and on top of that he says u better increase your height. Dhishum ' this one for him, nonsense! How can I increase my height at this age? Ok, fine you people stop worrying for my age!!!!! Heeeeeee-heeeeeeeeeee


So we finally walked down to my nani's place and I started sharing some future plans related to my job and all and kept laughing and enjoying the same. Then he said he wants to tell me something after which I will not be able to sleep, now this was in the context when I said that he has given me lot of tension due to my weight. So I gave him some quizzical looks and started firing questions left and right.
Listen to conversation now '
"I should not be going ti nani's place, now she will be after my life to get married"
"I will tell u something and then u will be more tensed"
"Kyun kya hua, u mean to say that mummy papa have selected a boy for me secretly,no pls don't say this"
Big Roar of laughter from him.
"Abe, nahin"
"Then"
"I will tell u on the way back."
"Oh! So did u manage to eat non ' veg?"
"Arrey ma nahin!"
"Then? Have u failed in any exam and u haven't told at home? Or are u about to fail?"
"Abe chinti shut up, will u? Kaha na baad me bataonga, chup hoja ab"
By this time we both had reached nani's place and then started the flight to the fourth floor and since there was no lift , we managed to climb them. Thankfully we both do gym so somehow no huffs and puffs.


He stuck to the PC and me to Nani. Mama, mami and noni were not at home. So I sat there watching my nana and nani fight over no useful manner. Imagine the reason of fight ' nanag wearing Adi's footwear. Same color, same size so he was unable to differentiate but then he realized and then nani was up in arms .heeeeeeeeee-heeeeeeeeeeeeee.



I sat with her in the balcony after nanag went out to fetch veggies. As I was enjoying the cool breeze and the traffic uproar, mama called up. He wanted us to go out with him to any food joint. Now I refused because I was so very bogged down due to lack of sleep (one funny problem that I am facing over a few years) but they insisted. Now when my brother got to know this he was all the more against it, reason being we both stay out so the stay at home is more recommended for both of us! Never mind, I suggested that we go to nirula's.


So there we went, me and mami in rickshaw and mama and adi on bike. They following us on bike or sometimes waiting ahead of us. Adi commented that it seems as if they are following the females or as if they are chasing the girlfriend .



I regaled my mami with office anecdotes (I hope she was amused!). Now on Saturday, it was surpsring that the place was vacant. After we were seated, I took upon me to find out the menus etc. So there was divya the monkey jumping from one place to another and picking menus! My mami said that it was very fast, then I told her that I picked it up from the table right behind us.Heeeeeeeeeeee-heeeeeeeeeeeee


So finally we managed to eat something out of nothing. Ok thali was not good at all. Now the real action started. They were giving balloons to the kids who were there in the food joint. Now all of sudden my brother took a fancy to a balloon. So he starts chanting, I want a balloon, I want a balloon and yes I want that pink balloon. "I will leave this place with this pink balloon only."



Leaving everything me and adi focused the attention on balloon. Then finally when mama went to order icecreams I tugged along. There on the counter was the pink balloon. I eyed suspiciously the lad who was sitting on the counter. When I judged him, I plucked that balloon from the counter (no I did not run away from there, ok!) and asked him ' "can I take this balloon?" I looked at him with all my innocent eyes. "Yeah, take it." "Thanks"
I was all in smiles and paraded back to my table and presented the balloon to my brother in true filmy andaaz heeeeeeeeee-heeeeeeeeeeee, by this time my mami had enough I geuss, she was all the way laughing!!!!!!!


And after that adi started behaving like one crazy kid who wud eye every small kid suspiciously if they looked at him, 'cos he was afraid that the kids will ask for the balloon ..there was my brother going red with the pink balloon.



Hey all of sudden I have become a celebrity because I am there on the mail page of the rediff, whoa!!!! Hmmmmmmmmm, should I become write on second thought Thanks to all of those who told me this and congratulated me on the same .and those who have not, please go and chk that I am on the first page.Heeeeeeeeeeeeee-heeeeeeeeeeeee



Ok, so where were we, yes the pink balloon. We played around. Then the obvious came in, my mama goofed up in the icecream orders ..and we simply had fun at the expense of our dear mamag imagine whose order did he manage to goof up ..humari pyari mamig ..bas sirf chappal hi nahin padi use.
And then the drama artists started ' me and my brother. We killed our mama jaan with our comments on the expert romance (it seemed that we both could have written a book on the same!!!!!!). We forced him to buy the exact ice-cream for her at the end and we all had our share.
But .but ..after hearing the expert comments on romance by my brother in the food joint, I am thinking, yes u guessed it right that he has a girlfriend and I should locate her .hmmmmmmmmmmm ..kuch toh ghapla hai ..never mind right now he is busy with his fest, he was not here at home this weekend.


Ok, I started this blog during the week but could not finish it and infact I got to know from Amit that I have been tagged on iland so hurriedly I finished that blog lest the game stopped.


It's been lots of fun on iland and orkut with tagging, tagging and tagging and I am here back in office on Monday at 5:15 a.m doing what- blogging and surfing the net!!!!! Well now the tempo has set in so here I am doing work too side by side but then now I have to report at 5:15 am daily so lets see how it turns out to be ..detail story of the same will be in next blog ..


I am humming the song ' janemann from the movie Aryan ..well well no specific reason, it's just that the song is being played on my friend's laptop ..
