Horny Indians

Got this as a fwded mail. Couldnt resist posting it.

The question is : What is the difference between google.com and google.co.in


The answer lies in the images below.... :D

Movies....

Good to watch movies:

3 Idiots: 4/5

Wake up Sid: 3.5/5

Jail: 3/5

All the best: 3/5

You can run....

You can run, you can hide, but you can't escape my love
You can run, you can hide, but you can't escape my love

Here's how it goes
You and me, up and down
But maybe this time we'll get it right
Worth a fight
'Cause love is something you cant SHARE
When it breaks
All it takes is some TRYING

If you feel like leaving
I'm not gonna beg you to stay
'Cause soon you'll be finding
You can run, you can hide
But you can't escape my love
You can run, you can hide
But you can't escape my love

So, if you go
You should know
It's hard to just forget the past
So fast
It was good
It was bad but it was real
And that's all you have
In the end our love matters

If you feel like leaving
I'm not gonna beg you to stay
Cuz soon you'll be finding
You can run, you can hide
But you can't escape my love
You can run, you can hide
But you can't escape my love

You can run, you can hide, but you can't escape my love
You can run, you can hide, but you can't escape my love

Random thoughts...

Some random thoughts:

1. All urgent tasks are assigned to you in office when its time to leave for the day.

2. Locating a key in your pocket under ideal conditions is sometimes more difficult than finding and pressing the snooze button with your eyes closed.

3. I spend hours in choosing which songs will go into my pod, but strangely I just like one in ten songs when they are being played.

4. Your good friend becomes a bad guy, if he is promoted and you have to work under him. As the law says “All bosses suck.”

5. I get terrified when Word asks me if I want to save any changes to a thirty-five page project plan that I swear I didn’t make any changes to.

6. Nothing sucks more than the moment during an argument when you realize you are wrong.

7. Is it just I or is the world really getting worse every year?

8. Is it just I or is this conversation between the managers, who are clueless about the technology, pure bullshit?

9. I wish there was an invisible mode in life too, just like the messenger.

10. There are moments when you feel terrible and are sure that nothing will make you laugh the whole day but the next moment something happens and you cant stop laughing.

11. After a certain degree, frustration and anger turns into humor.

12. Why do pants never get dirty like shirts?

13. Sometimes I stare at a watch for hours and still don’t know what time it is.

14. First I used to work. Then I divided work into good and bad and did the good part. Now I am a manager.

15. I can’t imagine that there are people who get in the shower first and then turn on the water.

Movies....

I saw three movies over the last weekend, and all of them turned out to be good in their own ways.

Yeh Mera India: A great movie with a message and good sub-plots. A must watch!!

Kaminey: The reviews about this movie have been mixed. There are people who have liked it and there are others who haven't. But, if you are a Guy Ritchie fan, you ll probably end up liking it.

Bruno: This one is not for girls. This movie raises the bar a few notches from its predecessor "Borat". :)

Girls will be girls

One of my good friends was in town last week. Amongst the many things we did, we visited this huge store. My friend wanted to buy imitation jewellery for his wife. My mom suggested this shop, which as per her had a better collection and at lower prices than its competitors.

So, off we went! Ohh myy…behold!! The store was a girls dream in the literal sense. It housed everything from small hair clips to beauty products to small fitness equipments. I was spellbound. I could just stare at a thousand varieties of rings and earrings and necklaces and bangles that dazzled in the well-lit store. Apart from jewellery, there were countless branded beauty products. There were products to make you fair and products to give you a tan. There were products to make you oily (the ones for dry skin) and ones to make the oil vanish. There were things to color your hair and things to make the colors go away. There were items to make you look younger and make your skin glow. Lotions, creams, gels, powders, etc, etc and .. only God knows what else…it all came across as witchcraft to me.

I just joked about this to the store owner “ Agar ladkiyon ne makeup karna chod diya to bahut saari companies band ho jayengi.”

The shopkeeper, a balding middle-aged gentleman, replied back in a serious tone “Ladkiyan mar sakti hai, magar sajna savarna band nahi kar sakti.”

I just smiled.

How true!!!

The Stoneman Murders

The movie is set in Mumbai in the early 80s, when a serial-killer, nicknamed as the "Stoneman" by the media, was on the prowl. Temporarily suspended sub-inspector Sanjay Shelar (Kay Kay), gets a nod from the commissioner to parallely investigate the case. If Kay Kay is successful, his suspension would be cancelled and he would be able to resume his duties. But the condition is, during his investigation, he cannot disclose that he is working for the commissioner. However, posing as the biggest roadblock to Sanjay is Inspector Kedar Phadke (Arbaaz Khan), the officer who is in-charge of the case. As both of them do their investigation, delving deeper into the case, their ways clash. On the other hand, the killer continues to haunt the streets of Mumbai, claiming victim after victim.

The movie a tight thriller which keeps the viewer guessing the true identity of the killer right till the end of the film.The movie is perfectly paced and the sound and cinematography are excellent. Also the movie is just around 100 minutes long, ensuring that there is no space for unnecessary stuff. The movie sticks to its course and never strays offtrack.

Kay Kay, as usual is brilliant. The others don't get much screen presence.

If you love suspense, don't miss this one..

The catcher in the rye.

After a long time, I came across a book which I cannot describe. I am unable to put into words even a single sentence about this book. However, the closest that came in my mind was written here:

A Night With My Lady

Got this as a forward..

A Night With My Lady


Her body glistens in the light
I urge to play with her all night
I pick her up and hold her steady
Take a deep breath, we both are ready.

I run one hand up her long neck
Just touching her makes me euphoric
Across her body, my right hand goes
I've been practicing, believe me, it shows.

Her body glistens in the light
I urge to play with her all night
I pick her up and hold her steady
Take a deep breath, we both are ready.

Another deep breath, the tension mounts
Have to stay focused, every moment counts
I am ready lets get movin'
Here it goes, we both start groovin'.

Her body glistens in the light
I urge to play with her all night
I pick her up and hold her steady
Take a deep breath, we both are ready.

I start out slow to get in the swing
As I do she starts to sing
The sounds and feelings grow more immense
The movements, become more intense.

Her body glistens in the light
I urge to play with her all night
I pick her up and hold her steady
Take a deep breath, we both are ready.

She screams and screams, while I am gropin'
My heart stops as I see the door open
My mom walks in and with a frown
Says, Your guitar is too loud, please turn it down

Good movies

Saw a couple of good movies. They are worth watching:

Goodfellas (1990)

Untracable (2008)

The Sting (1973)

Enjoy!

99

Of late the comedy offerings from bollywood have been forgettable and below par. This relative comparison with its peers makes 99 look special.

99 is an ordinary comedy movie with difference. The difference being, an almost perfect cast and some really humorous moments. Though the story and plot are old, but the treatment is fresh. The first 1/2 hr of the movie is confused and messy, but after that the story catches pace and rhythm. The movie is set in Mumbai in the late nineties when mobile phone craze was just catching on. Kunal Khemu and Cyrus Broacha accidentally ram an expensive car which belongs to an underworld gangster cum bookie, Mahesh Manjrekar. To recover his losses, he makes the duo work for him as recovery agents. The fun starts when they are sent to Delhi to recover 20 lacs from Boman Irani. The rest is a maze of intertwined events that leave you asking for more. The dialogues are great (there are some terrific one liners), comic timing of the actors is good and the comedy scenes are pretty well laid out.

As I said the cast is awesome. Boman Irani and Mahesh Manjrekar are splendid. Kunal Khemu is his usual self and so is Cyrus. Soha Ali Khan doesn’t have much screen presence.A special mention to Kuber (Amit Mistry) who has fared extremely well.

So, don’t miss this one!

Har lamha, har pal..

Badle raaste jharne aur nadi,
Badli deep ki timtim,
Chedhe zindagi dhun koi nayee,
Badli barkha ki rimjhim,
Badlengi rituyein adaa,
Par mein rahungi sada,
Ussi tarah teri bahon mein baahein daalke,
Har lamha, har pal..

My favorite lines from "Kaise Mujhe". I love Shreya Ghoshal's silky-smooth, melodious voice.

Karmic connection

There are people who buy stocks on instinct or recommendations or tips. But I am not one of them. I do my homework before entering a stock. I have a set of long term stocks and some short term ones in my portfolio. They are a mix of largecap and middlecap stocks.
I do a lot of research before buying any scrip. I spend a lot of time and energy in analyzing the financials of the targeted stock, check out the fundamentals, read the latest news about the company, keep track of it for days. After all I am going to put in my hard earned money into it. I want to be completely sure about the returns. So, after tracking it for days and studying the pattern, I wait for the right moment to grab it. And then one fine day I buy it.
And then..the inevitable happens...it starts falling... falling so badly that I go broke in trying to average it out. Finally I give up and there it lies in my portfolio for years. For years..in red..it lies...making me feel miserable.

I dont want to boast, but I have a strike rate of 100% in this.

This is my karmic connection with the Indian stock market.

So, my dear friends, there is a simpler way for you to make a profit from a stock.

..You just have to ask me if I have it too.

ROFL !!

Check out Kaka at IIFA awards...hehehe....lmao!!!

Now that's a style statement!!

Jai ho!!

The best in the business

The place: Four friends in a small apartment in Mumbai, glued to the television.

The date: Jan 22 1994.

The event: Royal Rumble.

The match: The Undertaker v/s Yokozuna..Casket match

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doDoT9f5Vlc

All of us are spellbound..The Undertaker is murdering Yokozuna. All of Yokozuna's moves are being countered and we know that it is a matter of minutes before Yokozuna gives in. Suddenly two men come to ring and start assaulting the Taker. Two more...four more...Now there are ten. There are TEN men assaulting the Undertaker. In our hearts, we know that the Phenom (Undertaker..as he is called by some) will strike back any moment and kick their asses. As expected he rises and takes them on. But there are too many of them. The valiance goes in vain. He is down on the floor again. The brutal massacre continues. We are running out of patience. "Wont someone come and help the Phenom??" We wait and we wait as Undertaker takes the beating of his life. And then the impossible happens. The Urn is snatched from Paul Bearer and opened. The Urn supposedly is the life source.. the spirit of the Dead Man (Undertaker..as he is called by some others). We are flabbergasted. This is insane! It cant be possible! As the smoke rises from the Urn, Undertaker's body loses strength. Its hard to believe. Slowly they push him into the casket, close the lid and lock him up. Noways!!! This aint true..it cant happen..Undertaker cant be dead!!

As we are swearing and shouting..Suddenly something magical happens..something that drives us to ecstasy...Undertaker's soul rises from the casket. His image appears on the screen and he opens his eyes and proclaims his rebirth.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

This was one of the happiest moments of my life...The Rebirth of the Phenom. The phenom... who is the best in the business.

Thank you WWE for many such fantastic matches.

Who am I?

I am a guy who gets foolish ideas, but I consider myself a genius.
I get mad at people who oppose my foolish ideas.
I enforce my ideas.
I ignore alarms raised by people who are being forced to implement these ideas.
Only I can see the bigger picture in which my idea fits perfectly leading to a fantastic outcome. No one else can see this bigger picture...maybe they are blind.
I am always there to take credit of the good work done by you.
I always steer clear of the blame, when you have screwed up. I like to keep my slate clean.
I work for eight hours, but expect you to work for twelve.
I enjoy saturdays with my family, but expect you to do extra work on the weekend.
I cannot motivate you, cannot direct you..But I will always be there to demotivate you and throw stones in your path..



Who am I?

TIme...

Past...Present...Future..

The wise say that we need to live in the present, because the past is gone and the future is unknown. So its better to enjoy the present rather than regret about the past or worry about the future.

Is it really possible to live in the present?

Godematics

From God's book of Godematics:


At any given time on earth,

The number of trees + the number of humans = constant*


*This is the theory of equilibrium. The entities mentioned above cannot survive without each other.


Like the retailers, God played a trick on mankind, when he changed the font size of the "conditions apply".

So wake up, its not too late!!

The sentence.

It was evening again. Like every day, he entered the lounge. The corner seat was reserved for him. The manager and the waiters smiled at him as he walked by. He nodded his head in response to every smile that was flashed at him and headed straight for the seat. The beauty of this seat was that you had a great view of the whole place. The bar, the big screen television, the band that was playing and more importantly the door. The door!
He took his seat and switched off his cell phone. He didn’t want to be disturbed or distracted. He flipped open his cigarette case and lit a Marlboro. The smoke felt good. It soothed him. Calmed him.
“The usual sir?” his regular waiter was standing next to him.
He nodded his head in reply and within minutes a double scotch was placed in front of him. He took a sip and the neat scotch burned his throat. He could feel the warmth spreading in his body. He took a drag, stubbed out the cigarette and lit another one. A few more sips of the scotch and he was transported back in time.

------
“You have changed,” she said.

“What makes you feel so?” he asked her never once taking his eyes off the computer screen.

“You always had time for me earlier. Now, all you run after is money. Do you know how many days have passed since we even had a decent conversation?”

“I am doing all this for you. Remember the college days when I had to borrow money to take you out to dinner. I will make you so rich that we will never have to think twice about anything in life. ”

“When did you last take me out to dinner?”

“We are going to be together all our lives. I can take you to dinner every night once we get rich. We are already halfway there, but I want to earn more.”

“It’s been three years and this is all I am hearing. You never have time for me. I am running out of patience.”

He took his eyes off the screen and looked at her. “Patience! Don’t over react. I am doing all this for you. For us! What am I going to do with all the money? It is for you that I am slogging so hard.”

“I don’t need the money. Isn’t what we have now enough for us? Why don’t you understand? You are drifting away.”

“No, I am not. You are drifting away. You are always complaining. Now go to sleep and let me do my work.”

“Ok. But remember, you will regret this. You will be repentant about all the time that you have lost out on. We have lost out on! You will realize this when I am not around any longer.”

“Don’t preach! You are always going to be around. We will have the most luxurious life. You will love it.”

“It’s been eight years since you know me and sometimes I feel that you still don’t know me.”

He saw her walking out of the room. For a moment he thought of stopping her, but then decided against it. He was back to his computer screen. Back to money!

-----------


This was his sentence. He was living it every day. He was missing her. All the money he had was no good. He wiped his eyes and emptied his third drink of the night. As he got up to leave, he glanced at the door for the last time that night. He could still see her walking in through that door.

It was the same door where they had bumped into each other ten years ago.

House to home in 140 minutes

Note: The sole intention of this post is to record my drive from Pune to Mumbai. So, if you are looking for anything interesting to read, proceed at your own risk!!

Last week I decided to drive down to Mumbai on my bike. For people who don’t know, I own a Yamaha Gladiator RS. This drive came as a relief to my bike, which was waiting for an opportunity to prove itself for some while. I didn’t want to risk driving on our famous highways after dark (which is when the devils have their headlights aimed at your eyes to blind you (Indian drivers are pathetic and are blessed with zero traffic ethics)). So, morning it was!! One of my office colleagues decided to be the pillion (this guy is relatively new in office and he isn’t aware of my driving skills (fyi, none of my friends want to be around me when I drive. As per them I drive too fast and too rash, which I feel is an exaggeration sparked by jealousy)). I tanked up the bike, got the air pressures right and also got the brakes tightened.

Next morning, I hit the road with my 125 cc machine at exactly 6:55 a.m. It was chilly and I cursed myself for not donning my jacket. Nonetheless it is such a pleasure to drive early in the morning. The empty streets, cool breeze and sparse traffic give you a much-needed kick, which plays an important role in lengthy drives. At exactly 7:05, I picked up my pillion. Since both of us had our own bags, we were a little cramped up. But this was soon forgotten as we hit NH4.
Very soon we reached the Pune Expressway diversion. I cursed the Babus for not allowing bikes on the expressway. Driving a bike on the expressway from Pune to Mumbai is something I have always dreamt of, but I guess it will never happen. We crossed the diversion and were still on NH4. The old highway as it is called seemed very well maintained too. The traffic was sparse and the road was good. This was all I needed to break free. A slight move of the fingers on the throttle and we were cruising at 80-90 kmph. The winding roads gave me a feeling of playing Roadrash and I enjoyed it immensely.

Exactly at 7:50 we stopped at Ramkrishna restaurant in Lonavala. A light breakfast accompanied by tea was all I needed to refresh myself. The usual smoke did its job too. We were back on the road at 8:10. My colleague guided me to the stretch of road where the Old Highway is the expressway. As soon as I hit this patch, it was like driving in a football field. The expressway is hugeee, and when you are on a bike, it seems bigger. I enjoyed the stretch, which was full of steep curves and turns. Soon the expressway was history and we were back on NH4.

At exactly 9:10, we reached Panvel. Since my colleague stays in Panvel, we decided to take a short break. The crowd at this stop was awesome and my colleague boasted of his knowledge about it.“I made you stop here to check out the crowd.” he beamed. We were back on the road at 9:20 and I dropped him at his house at 9:25. I was in Panvel and my bike was now a good 80-85 kgs lighter. It felt as if my bike was on fire. We lit up the streets, zoomed and zapped and I was at home in Vashi by 9:45.
I raced up the stairs, when fatigue hit me and I realized that my body was a numb of all the driving. But this lasted only for thirty minutes after which I was back to normal.


All I have to say is that everyone needs to try out this drive atleast once. Its awesome!!

Busybee

In the history of Indian journalism, there will never be another humorist like Busybee; he was the Art Buchwald of India, the P.G. Wodehouse of our times and more, a writer with a brilliant sense of timing for satire and humour, but with a soft and sensitive pen. And with a flow of words that could have readers rolling in their living rooms, offices and suburban trains on their way home; or moistened with emotion and sepia-tinged nostalgia. That was Busybee.

And he conveyed all this through a cast of fictionary characters with himself in the lead, and ably supported by a spouse he simply named "the wife", two sons who never grew up, Darryl and Derrek, a unimaginably rich but generous friend who lived in the 21st floor penthouse of one of Bombay's high rises, and talking dog Bolshoi the Boxer. Busybee drew them all into his column 'Round and About', though which he told his reader that it was perfectly fine to be the Common Man.

Do go through some of his writings:

IPL won't be same in South Africa: Warne

I read an interesting article in DNA yesterday. Here is the link to the same:

http://www.daylife.com/article/016G7sTglU2Su?q=South+Africa

Excerpt from the same:
"It ll be nothing like if it was in India, and its a shame it cant be in India. It wont be the same as being in India, but hopefully the South African public will get behind it and turn up to the ground and make it a great spectacle." Sounds like he is dying to come to India!!

If I remember correctly, Warne and some of his fellow Aussie cricketers had a different song to sing earlier. Prior to IPL it was a different ball game altogether. For every series to be played in India, there would be a lot of hue and cry over Indian conditions w.r.t security, climate, pollution, etc, etc which prevented these GREAT players to represent their National team in India. Shane Warne, Mcgrath, etc always had some excuse to skip playing on Indian soil.

IPL changed everything. Money was thrown around. The same GREAT players are disappointed that the IPL wont be held on Indian Soil.

This is how you explain Hypocrisy to kids.
And before finishing,I present to you, an apt song for the moment..

Money: Pink Floyd

Money, get away.
Get a good job with good pay and youre okay.
Money, its a gas.
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash.
New car, caviar, four star daydream,
Think Ill buy me a football team.

Money, get back.
Im all right jack keep your hands off of my stack.
Money, its a hit.
Dont give me that do goody good bullshit.
Im in the high-fidelity first class traveling set
And I think I need a lear jet.

Money, its a crime.
Share it fairly but dont take a slice of my pie.
Money, so they say
Is the root of all evil today.
But if you ask for a raise its no surprise that theyre
Giving none away.

Becoming Insane

Becoming Insane: Infected Mushroom


Dunno what the lyrics mean, but its not too difficult to guess when you watch the video. I love the last one minute..it rocks!! Also there are other remix versions available. The Album mix one is totally insane.


www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNVoBmJonYM

Dime todo lo que paso
No me di cuenta ni quien me pego
Todo da vueltas como un carrusel
Locura recorre todita mi piel
...
Wake me up before I change again
Remind me the story that I won't get insane
Tell me why it's always the same
Explain me the reason why I'm so much in pain
..
(x2):
Before I change again...
Remind me the story that I won't get insane
Before I change again...
Remind me the story that I won't get insane
..
(x2):
Voy perdiendo, perdiendo
Voy perdiendo, perdiendo
Voy perdiendo, perdiendo
Voy perdiendo, perdiendo
..

Voy perdiendo el suelo...
I'm becoming Insane.
..
(x12):
Insane, Insane, Insane, Insane, Insane, I'm Becoming Insane!!!

DILBERTISM

Dilbertism is the ultimate truth. We live it.

Dilbertism is an integral part of every office. Rather, an office exists because of it. It comes across as strange that, though we experience and observe Dilbertisms in our offices everyday, we never laugh about them. The same incidents when read in the cartoon strip instantly brings a smile.

Indirectly we are smiling/grinning/laughing/feeling sorry/etc/etc on our own lives.

Maybe this is a Dilbertism too!

Gulaal

Gulaal is yet another Anurag Kashyap masterpiece. The movie is about a Rajput student, who unwillingly gets dragged into college politics. The college politics is eventually controlled by a set of powerful people, who dictate terms and use the college money for their mean motives.
Gulaal is about fanaticism, courage, betrayal, ruthlessness and also about "The Rajput's way of life".
The movie has a good pace and incidents happening at regular intervals keep you guessing. The cast is near perfect and all the characters have done a great job.
All in all its a movie that shouldn't be missed.

Note: One of my friends didnt like the end of the movie. "It was a big let down" as per him. On the other hand I feel the end is perfect. So let me know your views after watching the movie.

Alibaug

Last week, we had been to alibaug to celebrate holi. Usually our trip to alibaug is a one day thing; we go in the morning and are back by night. But this time, we decided to spend a night there. We left at nine on Tuesday evening. One of our friends had highly recommended a place called “Heritage resorts”. The place was difficult to locate, since it is set in the interiors of a village near alibaug. But the moment we reached it, we were awed.

It’s a newly opened resort, which can currently accommodate only 40-50 people. It is a peaceful and serene place surrounded by mountains on two sides and is a fifteen minute drive from Mandva jetty. The place has been set up beautifully too. Every cottage has two rooms and each room can accommodate four. There are 6-7 such cottages. The rooms are clean and hygienic. There is a swimming pool with a music system setup on one end of it. The food is prepared by the local villagers and this adds to the ethnicity of the place. The charges are a nominal 850 per person (and this includes breakfast, lunch and dinner).

The only downside of the place was that there are no air conditioners in the rooms.

The place is ideal for group picnics and weekend getaways.

B.E. projects

"Development of P.L.C program to control an electron beam welding machine."

A P.L.C (programmable logic controller) program will be developed which will replace the existing relay system to control an electron beam welding machine.

Confused? :) This was my final year B.E. project. Infact this is all I know about my last year engineering project. I had two project mates who would also repeat the exact sentence (word by word) when asked about our project. :). Ask us anything else and somehow you will find the same answer being repeated. Because to date this is all we know. We had no clue about what we had to do in the project. Our guide was an awesome BARC scientist who used to come to office armed with a novel and the only time we met him, he was deeply buried in a Stephen King thriller.

Life couldnt have been better. The last year project was a blessing for us, since we could officially spend Fridays out of college. The few occasions when we actually visited B.A.R.C. we ended up having a ball. Literally!! We either played cricket or football with some of our other friends who stayed in BARC.
On other occasions we picnicked in the awesomely beautiful BARC campus, had sumptuous meals at discounted prices (six rupees for a heavily packed non veg lunch) , lazed around under shady trees in the well maintained gardens and even managed to smoke in the "NO SMOKING" areas (which was fun!).
Towards the end of the project, we did what every engineering student does (except the nerds (who reach college sharp at eight thirty even during storms, so that they dont miss the first lecture)). We collected a few things from the Internet, got it typed and printed and our project report was ready!
The difficult part came when we had the project viva. All we could offer was a single line. Yeah!! Quote "A PLC program will be developed which will replace the existing relay system to control an electron beam welding machine." The evaluator kind of felt sorry for us. Towards the end he gave us a lecture on how bleak our future would be if we had the same attitude towards life.

Today, life has taken a different turn. I am going to be evaluating science projects in a reputed engg institute.

So Mr.Evaluator, what do you have to say to that?

How was your day?

How was your day?

I wake up late today and miss my office bus. Then I take an auto and get stuck in a big jam. By the time I reach office, it was half past eleven. I open my mailbox and see that there is a huge amount of work already queued up. As soon as I start with work, I get interrupted by my boss. He wants me to attend this meeting with the clients. The meeting could have been shorter if the clients had brains. It literally took me one hour to explain what a child could have understood in ten minutes. I grab a mug of coffee after the meeting to soothe my headache. I start with my pending work while more work keeps pouring in. I have a quick lunch and I am back in a meeting which is even worse than the earlier one. After the meeting, my boss asks me to complete the whole work by evening and I am like “are you nuts?” How can he expect me to do my work while all I am doing is attending meetings? I try my best to wrap up as much as possible. Issues keep popping up and I am not 100% into what I am doing. Its eight already and all I want to do is leave office. I try to sneak out, but get unlucky and meet my boss in the parking lot. I assure him that I will finish the pending work tomorrow. I take an auto and get stuck in a traffic jam again. I reach home and all I can think of is crashing on the bed. How was your day?

It was OK.

Perspective

There are three of us. We are sitting at a beautiful restaurant overlooking a lake.

Excerpts from our conversation:

“Lets do something about life. We know that we are amongst the best, so why work for companies who rake in profits for the work that we do.”

“Life!! Life sucks where I work, but it feels good to get paid at the end of the month. Stability!”

“All we need is an idea that will set us rolling, we should at least try. We aren’t doing justice to our potentials. We could be millionaires”

“I have stopped running behind money. I have realized that there are more important things to life than money.”

“Its not only about money. Money is definitely a part of it, but it’s more about looking at yourself in the mirror and being able to face yourself. The way we are leading our lives, we are going no where.”

“I am not up to it anymore. I can’t imagine leaving my job and risking failure. There is too much at stake.”

“You can either lie back and let life take you where it wants to or you can take it in your hands and lead life to where you want to go.”

“Enough of your fundas. Captain, one kingfisher!”

"One for me too!!"

"Make that three, Captain!"

Back

Daddy's back ( quoted by Barney Stinson in How I met your mother.)

Whats changed since last time??

A few pounds lighter (thanks to my diet regime)
A few shades darker (thanks to a visit to Hyderabad and Alibagh)
A few days older but a ton wiser.
And a smoker again.

Everything else is the same.
