And the homecomning continues…..

November 3rd, 2007

Yawn….aaaa….and some more yawn and this time it is a big one, huh! Well well….this is what i do the whole day, i mean most of the day when I am not out with friends or doing window shopping.There are some serious side effects of the long break one takes specially if they are at mom’s place and one of them is sitting idle, literally idle!


After I quit the office and came to Ghaziabad on long vacation, my mind has actually stopped working or rather I don’t even bother to push my mind to an extent where I can do some wishful thinking.Some more Yawning while putting this piece together.Arrey koi mujhe batayega ki yahan se smiley kahan chale gaye? Ab mera blog colorful kaise hoga huh!Yaar Waise this is not fair with me, if I was absent from the blogs that doesn’t mean that smileys hi gayab ho jayenage, hadd ho gayi ab toh…….kahan dhoodho main, any ways chaddo pare!! Coming back to the vacations, yes I am on long vacation, ok not that long, I mean I will be back to Bangalore on 24th November but then yes I landed here on 14th October.


Since then what have I done, nothing literally nothing except fighting with mummy or hubby, no in both the cases they only fight with me. I am a peaceloving girl, ok ok woman…..i don’t fight.Or suno fight kis baat ki hai……….saree pahno………nahin pls nahin.How it goes? The first day when I entered the home, ma was pleasantly surprised and the first thing I was told to change, phew! Boy, I was coming non stop from bangalore to give them surprise and what happens to me - instruction to change clothes.I was in Jeans and Kurta, no bindi at all (thank God sindoor thaa, gold bangles bhi pehne the…..).


As I was changing, this started - “Sun, choori bhi pahan lena.”


‘Kya?’


‘Haan, achha nahin lagta aise khali haath.’


‘Par mummy, khaali kahan hai, yeh sone ki choodi hai na haath mein.’


‘Nahin Beta, kaanch ki toh honi hi chaiye or bindi laga lena jo dikhe or haan main kal payal bhi nikaal doongi pahan lena.’


“Mummy main dadi ke teherwi mein aayi hoon naki fashion show mein, mujhe dekhne nahin aayenge log, sab shok vykat karne aayenege! Please aap aisa nahin toh kar sakti na”


“Arrey nahin aisa nahin hota beta, sab dekhte hain or tu pehli baar aayi hai maayeke mein shaadi ke baad, sab aise dekhenge toh kya sochenge?”


By this time i was drained and had given up and all decked up I sat there. The first thing that I messaged Raj was I am coming back, this is jail! He started pacifying me. Poor Chap! Day 2, Day 3, Day 4 & 5 I was all dressed up in the saree for the whole day which meant 9 to 9 ki duty in saree and on top of that, I was running upstairs and downstairs….It was too much and in so less a time.I don’t know but MIL wud have been thinking how did I manage to do all this, even I don’t know.Hats off to those who wear saree daily without panic and do wonders with the pallu and pleats, kudos to them……no laughing matter!!!!!!!


 


I thought it will end here.The best part is coming now. My mum wanted to buy slippers for herself, and she told me to come to her school.I said yes without thinking what lay ahead of me! Morning 7 a.m., scene set - ma in kitchen and i am lazing around, brushing and all. “Tu school aa jana, wahan se chalenege”


“Theek hai, kitne baje?”


“1:30 baje” I thought the end but the worse was coming my way.


“Saree pahan lena”


“Mummy, hum ghar se chalenge, aap aa jana phir chalenege”


“Nahin tu saree pahan ke hi aa jana”


“Mummy main nahin aaongi aapke school”


“Nahin beta, sab milenege toh kya sochenge?”(Yaar pata nahin log itna kyun sochte hai, huh! or sab mere hi baare mnein kyun sochenge woh bhi ek saath, ek hi time par, kya timing hai?)


“Mummy, plsssssssssssssssssssssssssss”


“Tu aaj saaree, kal suit or parson jeans mein aa jana”


“Hum teen din tak chappal lene jayenge?”(Funny!)


“Arrey nahin, kal tu dekh lena kaisi taiyari chal rahi hai diwali mele ki or parson tu meri jagah stall mein duty de aana!(Why I came on chutti? I know to give duty on stall or woh bhi chaat ka!)


“Nahin mummy hum ghar se chalenge, manin nahin aa rahi aapke school, jis auntyji ne mujhe dekhna hai bolo ghar aayengi ticket laga hai tabhi milloongi main”


“Tu meri payri beti hai”(Emotions, uff yeh emotions!)


“Papa” -  he is nowhere to be found, on such occassions he is always in toilet(I donno why so don’t ask)


“Acchha chal suit mein aa jana”(Note the tone in her voice)


“Pehle nahin kah sakti thee aap yeh, theek hai suit pahan kar aaongi main”, papa is back too! Truce finally.


Divyaji school pahunch gayi hain or bygod wahan toh diwali mele se pehle mela lag raha hai.Aayeeeeeeeeeeee Bittooooooooooo aayi hai……..(I am bittoo, heeeheeee) but I am still looking and searching for this voice……and soon I am surrounded, I am made to sit in the staff room and all work stops.Why? Arrey they are looking at me. What is my fault? Nothing……I guess I married an alien, huh! I looked around, almost everyone is looking at me including the kids who were there helping teachers in preparation.I use my usual tool,smile :) always ready with auntyji namaste. And then it started altogether,what else? Flurry of questions!!!!!!!!!


1)Mann lag gaya tera wahan par? - I am blank, kuch samajh nahin aa raha and then the reply - haan auntyji mann toh lagana padega(koi maine roj updown ke liye toh shaadi nahin kee thee, huh! and a smile)


2)Ghar mein sab kaise hain? - Ojee monkey jaise hain, I was about to say -but at the last moment i said- acchey hain auntyji sab badhiya hain one more smile.


3)Acchha tum kya roz idli sambhar khate ho? - I am still interpreting this one but i replied,”nahin auntyji roti bhi khate hain.” She was not convinced so pat came the reply,”par main khana toh yahi hai na?”; there was only one reply to this so that its all over -”Haan auntyji.” Auntyji was happy shappy.


4)Job toh karti hogi? - Haan auntyji and a smile.


5)paani acchha nahin hai wahan ka! - it was more of a statement.


We were ready to leave and came another exclamation from behind - ‘Haye yeh hi bitiya hai aapki?’ -(Nahin padosi ki hai ji). Actually woh shaadimein dekha tha na isiliye pehchaan nahin payi main, kaise ho beta?? The bestest - bitiya patli ho gayi(She is the best aunty in school and I love her for this!)………..some more of these kinds are there with the relatives which I will post in this series. I am also planning to post some ways to time pass (actually time pass) in vacation…………total vellagardi!


Abhi meri chai shai ka time ho gaya hai hence I will put a full stop here only…….hey guys whats the mystery behind the vanishing smileys, well it may be in my case only, please let me know………till the next post, happy reading and writing……….take care.


 


 


The Homecoming

October 24th, 2007

After a long long time I am back….I am back to Ghaziabad to my hometown.


It’s just the things changed and the purpose was different than a normal homecoming.It was expected but then humans always have this habit of not accepting the truth…..we also did the same thing.We knew she will leave and we wanted that she should go but then somehow somewhere we were hopeful that she will hang till atleast Diwali………..however, she finally breathed her last on 9th October.My dadi left us.She was old and she was somewhere 85.She died a natural death in my father’s arms.The only thing which I regret is my last minute presence. Papa and myself were really hopeful that she will leave only when i reach there but then somethings are destined! It is strange that when people leave we always remember the good.


I wept, I don’t know why but on hearing the news I did weep and somehow it was consoling. Adi wept too but he did this in the evening……loneliness kills.Mom called me to tell him that its ok, not to weep.I called and told him the oppposite. Somehow it is good to cry out your heart sometimes.May be this is the natural way to overcome your grief without sharing with everyone. I came down on 14th to Ghaziabad. All the rituals were over on 19th.


So here I am writing the blog after a very long time…………been really long. I have quit. Yes, I am a free bird now till the time I join a new office - some 80 thousand salary I should get……….don’t get shocked, this is the rumour in my old office that I am quitting because I have an offer of 80K……I have never seen 80K in my life, I wish I could get this kind of Job! Anyways…..The farewell was sweet, something unexpected - a lunch and a gift voucher too! Some cute videos and funny pics! I have yet to get my final dues though! What else? Hmmmm…..yes yes my Ele’s new project is up and we hope that soon it picks up…..Please you guys check this link and give your feedback www.clickneeds.com


Well….as of now this much only…..nahin toh sab ur jayega kyunki power cut ka time ho gaya hai.I will be back with a new post soon…….A big Hi to everyone on Iland, missed you all……just a simple thanks to all u guys for being there.


Take care and May God Bless you all…..


Long Time No Post!

June 22nd, 2007

……this is how I am feeling now sitting in front of the PC and watching the TV as well. I am watching the Indian Idol and all tamil serials(advantage of getting married in a tamil family! or rather add on benefit ya phir ek ke saath ek free…..heeee-heeee).
It’s been really long that i posted a blog, no apparent reason but then the life is busy with work and only work.
Coming back to work, it’s been bad……………and worse!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ok ok i know i was complaining that i had no work in office(well that was bench period as they say, i guess) and now it is only work and nothing else. The late sittings, the back bitings, the work pressure and what not.Books are in mess and it is getting messier day by day. I just fail to understand as to why always it is been the same work for me……cleaning the mess created by others!! And guess what? The boss is egoistic, he has veeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyy long nose(if that sounds correct! no it is not funny in any case).My colleagues from admin say to be beware of him( i guess i should hang a board outside his cubicle”beware of boss”) ‘cos he does not like people replying back to him, huh! Whatsoever, i am pissed off now. And yes I wept, sob sob like a kid, when I saw my patidev waiting for me.Yeah,it was yesterday when I left the office all bugged up in a meeting.I thought I can manage but as I crossed the road, my eyes were all in tears and by the time I reached the bike I was sobbing.Raj had no clue what is happening and poor chap stood there calming me.Horrible-horrible!!

So I thought that now I should relax a bit after the hullaboo during the week.Tomorrow I have to go and attend my ISA class and kal humari photo khichegi…..…..tomorrow i assume it will be full attendance inthe class as it is second last class.Otherwise, we always bunked the class.Actually the very first faculty was so good, he spoiled us.He made us laugh and taught well and finished the class before the scheduled time.Once we got into this trend, we expected a lot better in other classes but then…….and hence we bunked or slept or people like me read other books with the course book open!!!!!
Now I am watching two more serials on TV along with the blog.Again musical serials……hmmmmm what else? Yes!!!!! the weather in bangalore…….it is raining and it is chilled out………….oooooooooooooooo i am feeling cold too! It’s funny.Rains in my hometown were never so chilly, it was more of fun, people coming out and splashing water on each other.But here i don’t think i can go and dance in rain ‘cos it is so chilled here buhooooooooooobuhooooooo!! I sleep like a baby in quilt without fan, abhi bhi mujhe thand lag rahi hai…..mere feet ek dum chilled out  Lots of Chill, huh!
Abhi aur kya, kuch nahin…….my hubby is telling me to copy and paste the blog and singing in some weird manner and i am telling him not to distract me…….kuch idhar udhar ki - a cousin got engaged, another is in line, I got a new haircut (which is already grown old, almost a month, heee heee - ok let me try this one Ho ho ho ho, hu hu;hee hee sound old but old is gold so heeeee heeee), i have got lots of pimples thanks to the weather which i don’t know how is it? Watched ta ra rum pum, started reading - The monk who sold his ferrari, oh Yes!!!!!!! I wore saree to office atleast 3 times without creating a mess of myself…….or kya yes,my pati dev is changing his beard almost daily(I don’t have the name for his beard, i know only two - french and goatee ).

Okie dokie, now it is goodnight else I will sleep in the class tomorrow.ZZZzzzzzzz…..and before this blog disappears, I should post it……..A big Hi to everyone on the Iland and yup I missed the blogs and friends here…..some even reverted back saying that marriage is keeping me busy……so here I am back with a blog…..do visit and post the comment.
Take care & God Bless!


Aise hi…..

April 25th, 2007

 the boss is not in town and the office seems to be silent.I was wondering if the boss is the only reason of all hulla boo in the office.Not only accounts section is quite but all other sections as well, the admin, back office and others.

After a period of time the office has become a familiar place but the people are still a closed lot and funnily this problem is diagnosed by the HR lady as well.She is the Training Manager in our office, a soft spoken bengali female. The other day we sat sharing our woos as to how the cross culture is visible in this organisation.We both came from an atmosphere which was jovial and vibrant.I hope some day i will be able to break the ice. To an extent I feel i have done it but then it’s very hard to break through people here.
May be the problem is that nobody ever tried reaching to them.One thing I am clear about is the finicky nature of my boss which noone likes and people will keep mum when he is around.And yes he has a big ego! I have managed to rub him on the wrong side even though unintentionally but he took the matter to heart and called me to clear up the issue.When i clarified that I acted on the advice of HR people then only he seemed to be satisfied but I still feel that there are ego clashes amongst the top members of the organization.

Anyways, leaving aside the office, I managed to get wet in the first showers in the city alongwith my now-not-so-newly-married-husband….ok we have completed good 3 months of marriage. How has been the experience? Hmmmmm,yes we have our share of fights(with me crying,heee-heee, the usual weapon!), cold wars, problems etc etc….alongwith it comes the sundays spent cooking special dishes, hopes to get up in the early morning for walks….planning for future and some more planning and some more cooking.
The experience of getting wer was not unusual but yes being with your man on bike was another one, a rare moment……but somehow God’s been gracious to me and I got wet again with him the next thursday and we guess that tomorrow being thursday i will again get wet.

Today the other AM seems to empty his entire mail box because the boss is not in the office, Uff! My boss told me to not to get deviated if someone else is surfing the net! yes, there have been moments of gyan being percolated to me by my boss……i don’t know what he expects out of me but then I am feeling as if I have got my first boss back! And no it’s not that pleasant experience with my first boss.Ok coming back to that other AM…yesterday he gave me the office and boss Gyan! Today he is bust finding a match for his younger brother…………i hope and assume that today he will find for sure though he tries daily.

I am suppose to sit for the Payroll software from tomorrow so I am reading the manual and doing this time pass as well of writing the blog. Earlier during the day I was considering to write a blog and post it on this site Ibibo! I don’t know if I will be able to earn money by writing the blog, huh!! If any of the other fellow Blogger has any idea, they are welcome to share the experience.

Well, I am done as of now because I have the matter to write but then being in office, I can’t write freely…..

Till next blog…..take care and May God Bless you all.


The Search

April 6th, 2007

It’s always the same , we learn things the hard way and I guess this is the reason that the life becomes precious and the decisions taken become important.
There are times when you do something knowing well that you don’t want to do a certain thing again the reasons, situations and circumstances force you to do so.
I am thinking this since a long period of time as to why am i doing job when I just wished to take a selfimposes break and enjoy my classes, again the situation or rather the ‘fear’ of losing the opportunity which came across my way.I still don’t have the courage to quit this job and sit at home for some more months.I know I am neither happy with the workplace nor with the work allotted to me yet I get up in the morning, take my time to dress up and rush to office.I will think of all stupid reason based on which I can take leave yet I will sit throughout the day in office making sure that I am here to work and work is all I should do…..it’s a different thing that most of the day I will have no work and I will just try not to fall asleep on my desk……

I used to think that I am one of the serious kinds but then when I enter in this office, I realise how outspoken and fun loving I am……this place is all gloomy, we have yellow lights when we could have whiter ones making the atmosphere brighter. People will not reach out to each other to make you feel belonged to this place……..I am still to find out a positive thing about my office…..yes it is just 12 kms from my home yet i take 45 minutes to 1 hour to reach office, the timings are not of graveyard shift yet I fail to stop myself from staring at watch after every half an hour, it is simply difficult to pass time here……………..yet I get up daily on time to rush to the office on time………………all because I will take a pay cheque at the month end………..and the search for the reason beyond this goes on……..

Some day, sometime I will be enlightened when that Power touches me and tells me -’yes, this is the reason for your existence, go and fulfill it’……..
And I will post one more blog to tell others -’yes, my search is over, I have found a meaning to my life.’ Till then, it is always like this……………just 15 minutes left for the clock to strike 6 and then I will be off to home………to my abode.


PJs

April 5th, 2007

This makes a good reading!

March 30th, 2007

A friend of mine sent me this…….and i just felt that I can share this with fellow bloggers though some people must have read this artcile before.
However, as one will read this article times and again, I assume one can be better off with times to come over a period of time…….it’s just good simply good and plain simple to follow…………..so happy reading……


The 90/10 Principle

The 90/10 Principle Have you read  this  before?

Discover the 90/10  Principle. It will change your life (at  least the way  you react to situations).
What is this principle? 10% of life is made up of what happens to you. 90% of life is decided by how you react.    What does this   mean? We really have no    control over 10% of what happens to us. We cannot stop the car from breaking down. The plane will be late  arriving,   which throws our whole schedule off. A driver may cut us off in traffic. We have no control over this 10%. The other 90% is different. You  determine the other 90%.

How? By your reaction.

You cannot control  a red light.,  but you can control your reaction.

Don’t let people fool you; YOU can  control how  you react.

Let’s use an    example. You   are eating breakfast with    your family.   Your daughter  knocks over a  cup of coffee onto your business shirt. You have no control over what just  what happened.  What happens when the next will be determined by how you react.You curse. You harshly scold   your  daughter for knocking   the cup over. She breaks   down in tears.  After scolding  her, you turn    to your  spouse and criticize her for placing the cup too close to the edge of  the table. A   short verbal battle follows. You storm upstairs   and change  your shirt. Back downstairs,  you find your daughter has been too busy crying to finish breakfast and get ready for school. She misses the bus. Your spouse must leave immediately for work. You   rush to the car and drive your daughter to school. Because you are late, you   drive 40 miles an hour in a 30 mph speed limit. After a 15-minute delay and throwing $60   traffic fine away, you arrive at school. Your  daughter runs into the  building without saying  goodbye. After arriving at the office 20     minutes late, you find you forgot your briefcase. Your day has started  terrible. As it continues,   it seems to get worse and   worse. You look forward to coming home, When you arrive home,  you find small wedge in your relationship with your spouse and daughter.

Why? Because of how you reacted in the morning. Why did you have a bad day?
 A) Did the coffee cause it?
 B) Did your daughter cause it?
 C) Did the policeman cause it?
 D) Did you  cause it?

The answer is D.
You had no control over what happened with the coffee. How you reacted in those 5  seconds is what caused your bad day. Here is what could have and should have happened. Coffee splashes over you. Your daughter is about to cry.  You gently say, “It’s OK  honey, you just need, to be more careful next time”. Grabbing a  towel you rush upstairs. After grabbing   a new shirt  and your  briefcase, you come back down in time to look through the window and see your child getting on the bus. She turns and waves. You arrive 5 minutes early and cheerfully greet the staff. Your boss comments on how good the day you are having.

Notice the difference?

Two different scenarios.

Both started the same. Both ended different.   Why? Because   of how you REACTED. You really do not have any control over  10% of what happens. The other 90% was determined by your reaction.

Here are some ways to apply the 90/10 principle.

If someone says something negative about you, don’t be a sponge. Let the attack roll off like water on glass. You don’t have to let the negative comment affect you! React properly and it will not ruin your day. A wrong reaction could result in losing a friend, being fired, getting stressed out etc.

How do you react if someone cuts you off in traffic? Do you lose your temper? Pound on the steering wheel? A friend of mine had the steering wheel fall off) Do you curse? Does your blood pressure skyrocket? Do you try and bump them? WHO CARES if you arrive ten seconds later at work? Why let the cars ruin your drive?
               
Remember the 90/10 principle, and do not worry about it.

You are told you lost your job. Why lose sleep and get irritated? It will work out. Use your worrying energy and time into finding another job.

The plane is late; it is going to mangle your schedule for the day. Why take out your frustration on the flight attendant? She has no control over what is going on. Use your time to study, get to know the other passenger. Why get stressed out? It will just make things worse.

Now you know the 90-10 principle. Apply it and you will be amazed at the results. You will lose nothing if you try it.

The 90-10 principle is  incredible. Very few know and apply this principle. The result? Millions of people are suffering from undeserved stress trials, problems and  heartache. There never seem to be a success in  life. Bad days follow bad  days. Terrible things seem to be constantly  happening. There is constant stress, lack of joy, and broken   relationships.  Worry consumes time. Anger breaks  friendships and life seems dreary and is   not enjoyed tothe fullest. Friends are lost. Life is a bore and often seems cruel. Does this describe you? If so, do  not be discouraged .

You can be different!  Understand and apply the   90/10 principle. It will change  your life.

Cheers!


Something is gone amiss……

March 26th, 2007

…..and i am unable to figure it out as to what? My head is almost breaking down with all the thoughts going in and out and my body is just angry with me for sitting idle.
This month I will earn a pretty fair amount for sitting idle in the office.Yes! I am sick and tired of sitting idle in the office.They have yet to give me a full fledged profile.It is possible that they have no relevant work which I am suited to(i always underestimate myself, huh!)……but then why on earth did they take me in the first place if i am not suited to the job.I joined on 12th and since then the only responsibility I have been given is that of the preparation of the Cash Flow Statement, that too the senior executive told me.He called me on the internal line and said that I should be sending the CFS and going forward I have to sent the same.It was a blow just taken in time.
I am still wondering as to why didn’t my boss tell me the same instead of this fellow!
He told me to do audit of one group company and I finished to the task, went to him with observations.He tells me to sit with another fellow and get the books going.So for the next two day we both sat and finished the mammoth task of cleaning the accounts.There was nothing left after that.One third fellow had to finish his part so that we can go and tell the boss the final outcome.But then he already knows the situation of the books, huh!
There he goes, some 6 ft tall and thin and lean……and I find him mean :P.
For next 2-3 days I sat calculating the FBT just for the heck of it! I don’t even know if what I have done is correct or not, the only satisfaction is that the amount almost matches with the one calculated last year so I am a bit convinced that it is almost correct! Even my juniors appear to be more important as of now.

I can’t even surf the net much of the time ‘cos even my patience gets over after sometime and also the sites are blocked and we are in continuous survillance as to what we do.Tomorrow is another interview and I can go and appear for it ‘cos I have a day off.Well it is not only me who has an off, the whole office has an off, ramnavmi ki chutti hai!
It’s just feels awkward to be here in this office though I have got used to faces around me but then it is weird.
And on top of all this the tyrst with self goes on to find out as to what do i like with regard to my job profile……….i just don’t have a clue as to what exactly hits me when it comes to accounting and auditing……..I just don’t know what kind of job I am looking forward to……only the priorities are clear! I am in need of a job for 5 days a week, 9 to 6 timings(lesser would also work, heeeee-heeee) and it pays well.What the heck?Well-well I guess every one wants the same thing………
But then whatsoever………it goes on like this….hours become days and days become weeks and these weeks will soon turn into months and months into years!
May be someday I know what I want when it comes to my work…………….till then I will try to find as to what is gone amiss…….


My new Office!

March 16th, 2007

Eeeeeeeeekssssssss………..can somebody tell my new office people that there is a life beyond work or rather i need to understand exactly how one shoud be working without smiling or laughing and talking to anyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well-well, it seems by the title of the post that I am going to write an essay about my new office, huh!
No I am not going to write any such thing, it’s just how am i getting along here with others.The city is new so are the people including my inlaws and my hubby…….i donno know how long will they remain new to me, heeeeeeee-heeeeeeee although we are a family now.I don’t have to worry that my husband will get bald after he reads all this, ‘cos he cut his hair short very short yesterday……so he cannot pluck on them out of sheer madness………heeeeee-heeeeeeee.
Ok back to office now! First day was as if my husband has left the kid at school, in this case the kid is little overgrown ‘cos of the puppy fat all around, that’s me!!!!!!!!! Even I felt the same.I almost was in tears(God only knows why?).When I left the school, oh sorry the office, people would have considered me mad………..i was grinning from ear to ear the moment i was out and saw papa-hubby waiting for me.
Second and other days were spent in considering and deciding if I should have stayed back at home for some more days…….well almost everyone reached to the same conclusion that yes I should have taken a proper break! But then this is what is life all about(wah wah I shud be a bollywood dialogue writer!)……….
Today’s the Fifth day and I guess I will survive…………so what if the other AM doesn’t speak except ‘hi’(how much he be troubling himself?????)……..so what if i get scrutinised from top to bottom by everyone ‘cos I am new…..strange but people don’t simply reach out to each other.I wonder why? How can one not be curious to know about other when u end up spending almost 8 hours under one roof? I have named that fellow AM as “Constant Expression” ‘cos he always have same ex-pression all the time, ouch! his facial muscles pained when he smiled……..the admin lady is sweet atleast she takes her lunch with me.So far the boss is fine.
Tomorrow is half day……………what a way to end the post……..more to come on my office series……….i miss my old offices and the people out there.

Well -well…..why so? I mean wishing everyone a Happy Holi in advance, reason being, I will be away for a week or so to my home town Ghaziabad……yes yes I am all laughs now(somebody should ask my hubby about the smile he’s been noticing since morning!!!!!)
Also, last year I wrote my first blog on Holi itself, i guess it was 15th March’2006 on that particular day but yes holi to holi if i count it’s gonna to be one year on Rediff Iland………….and yes the life has changed for good
