Office after a long OFF

I have been in MAKKARI mode for last 2 weeks and today I went to office after so long. It was so weird when I reached gurgaon. A strange and strong feeling of going back to EOK wasn't surprizing. Even then, I enjoyed my first Tea of the Day at the office gate.
Chai Wale Uncle ji smiled and said, " Kahan chala gaya tha, Baba ji ro raha tha ki larka office hi nahi aa raha hai." after knowing that I wasnt feeling well he offered me not to have the tea.
Maximum time of the day spent by explaining why was I not in the office. It was real tough to tell a single story so many times with a non-real expression of uncomfort.
Now if you expect me to tell what happened in the office then you are absolutely right... My non-paid leaves (as i exhausted my PL earlier :-p) were converted into Annual Leaves :-D My work was still pending... I completed 10% of it by the evening.
Ops Managers want me to arrange a training session for ops team leads...
Now I have to make arrangements for friday... 80% is done as far as arrangements are concerned. Now the question is would I able to prepare the content of presentation and session....
you gotta be kidding...
chintz is ready for his first training session at the other end of table....

143rd Day of the Year....

If the year is not a Leap Year... 143rd Day of the Year is 23rd May...
Being an analytical mind and a born thinker, I was trying to relate the things positively.
**Not diverting the flow but positive thinking reminds me Ashu Sir (AKA Ashutosh Singh Gautam), who once criticized on a positive note that I take things a bit negatively. At this point of time, I just want to tell him that finally I have worked on it also. Now I dont find anything negative so easily. :)**
First thing which comes in mind when you think of 143... 1 4 3 ... One can easily find these numbers on any monument wall in INDIA. All those proclaimed saints and tubelights who haven't figure it out with this figure yet... 1, 4 & 3 are the numbers of letters used in the famouse Three Magical Words - I (1) Love (4) You (3)
I was a little excited about the day to observe how this day goes with me. I was working on the Project 23 for last 20 days. It experienced a little jeopardy on last Sunday but somehow thought again and finally Project was completed today.
Broadly, There are Four ways to perform a life :-
  1. Think and then Act
  2. Act and then Think
  3. Think without any Act
  4. Act without any Thinking

There is a subcategory of 2nd category where human is forced to think.

By grace of AllMighty, I always start with first category and end up with the 2nd Subcategorized situations. (For the people who lost their mind in words - I normally think and act but end up with forced thinkin after every Act)

As per social knowledge and wikipedia for reference, Gift is defined as the transfer of something, without the need for compensation that is involved in trade. A gift is a voluntary act which does not require anything in return. By extension the term gift can refer to anything that makes the other happier or less sad, especially as a favour, including forgiveness and kindness. more>>>

Trust me even dictionary.com gives something like wikipedia.

All those boldly emphasized words show the purity of the word Gift and intentions involved.

I never thought of a phrase like "Wasn't required at all" with a "thanks". I am just confused about the state of mind of the communicator. Thanks or It Wasn't Required

This was the last slap of the 143rd day of the so called year...

People who know me even 1%, have given me a feedback that I have a good hand writing (When My Papa told me that I am good at Calligraphy, I started believing others too) and very special & unique signature. First time in my life, some one made fun out of it, I am not sad about this because Good n Bad are relative terms... Its Ok with me coz in any cases my hand writing is not good enough to save any life to fill any empty stomach. But, I can consider it the 2nd Last Slap of the Day...

Normally people love everything related to them, specially everything in them. I love only one thing in me that It makes me even happier when I see anyone smiling or laughing. If a person who is not friend/aquintence laughs or smiles because of me, s/he makes my day.

What if you see the anyone is not that happy when you intended to make him/her the happiest for the day? What if you observe that everything else but you making him/her to feel good? This weird and not so accurate observation was the first and tightest slap from the day. There were few more slaps from the day but they are ok with me because they were normal kick offs.

I tried... I Failed... I am happy that I tried but at the same time I'm really sad because I failed in what I intended.

Now this 143 funda for Project23 stands useless and meaning less...

( can imagin shahrukh saying in front of me "Jahan se main dekh raha hoon ... aap sab kuch haar gaye.. :-p)

Dont be a noodle...

Sunday, 19th May 2008...
After a IS RAAT KI SUBAH NAHI saturday when I slept, time just flew away and a cell phone ring woke up me at 1100 hours with a sweet invitation of a sweet tea rather two sweet tea.
Tea were following the sandwich theorem and they were well coupled with 5 Aaloo Paratha with some Paneer. Day smoothly began its journey with a re-evaluation of Big B's Bhoothnath. But, this time Bhoothnaath was with a sweet family... :-)
What else a lone soul needs, a Good company, popcorns and My dearest Big B...
By the end of day I went in sad mode once again.... (I dont know how can I irritate myself so much...)
by 2100 hours, after being failed to fix a DVD player (shameful moment for an engineer from a reputed college) headed towards Thanks God Its Friday outlet of Priya- Vasant lok Complex.
I remember last time when i visited the same place with MBaz.... we decided not to come at this level to enjoy... but anyways, Razat invited to have sizzlersssssssss ....
come on... think for sizzlerssssssssss at TGIF.... o my my.... so much of HS....
After a 20 minute of Brain Storming with myself and seeked suggestion... I planned to try PASTA....
ji haan bahno bhaiyon... aapke apne shahar delhi mein ... Chintz gonna try Pasta Once again....
Broken Noodles Pasta with some blah blah blah ingred...
it took almost one hour to cook Broken Noodles Pasta and three sets of sizzlerssssssss...
One thing I love about sizzlerssss... when you are ready to eat them.... every one in the house knows it....
I searched for broken noodle in the pasta but alas!!!! I guess cook broke 'em up upto some micro granular level... I couldnt find any.
Whatever it is but one thing I love bout TGIF outlets specially this Priya one... they have always very pretty people with pretty short fabrics. Negative part of the outlets is all those short fabric wrapped creatures come with Yo! men.... who keep on letting other people know that the fabrics are all their and they haven't come there for mere food and drinks... they intend to eat all lipstick and cosmetics also. I hate those BAS****
In such one sided lovely environment, Vijay Malya Rocks!!! [;-)]
but Vijay Malya doesn't allow to have his blessing with any chance of going office next day so I respected his wishes & bunked the office on Monday.
Razat woke my humanity at 2... So with a plan to reach office by my own (DTC & Auto walas).
but Sunny Paaji's Karz - the burden of truth dropped my Idea... and you know.. an Idea can change your life.
Some how I washed the black dot on an engineer and Fixed up the DVD Player's colours with a telephonic support.
Monday ended with Chilly Garlic Noodles (trust I found so many noodles in it) and Emraan Haasmi's Jannat - a Search of Heaven.
while coming back to my Jannat..... I have decided to be at office at any cost and hopefully to join a swimming pool in next 3 hours.
Good Night

Good, Bad &.... Lovely

One of my seniors in my college penned in ma diary (we were not so feminine to afford a slam book) "its hard to have an opinion about someone and even harder to share that".... I always thought of it as stylish lines to jot in a slam books but few days back I realized that it's a fact of life, specially the second part of the style line.
Past few days were one of the most confused days of ma life. I might sound stupid but i was thinking about an opinion someone has about me. I never thought seriously about having so many friends but still I do have some and trust me all those living beings considered as my friends are close to my heart beats. Mbaz n Sanz are the most OPEN friends who never give a second thought in giving a feedback specially when they don't like it in me.
I have been crowned as "Lonely Dog", Sadoo, Sadist, Crazy, Hard Core Stupid, Negative Thinker, Biased..... but no one in my entire life declared me as an Attitude Man.
I ain't trying to be self praised miyaan mitthu but I always try efficiently to be a NICE GUY. One of the reason for that is I am not BAD. I would like to quote it again... I am not saying that I am a GOOD guy but yes I know that I am not BAD.
there is a problem with me that I don't explain the things specifically when they have been misunderstood or inferred in some stupid way. Base line of such a long prescript becomes the Title of Confusion - Is Being Good, a Bad thing?
I met a family few months back. Trust me, its really hard to have such family in cities like Delhi. I have been as Nice as I am with my nucleus family. There are few personal and social reasons behind it... but the fact remains unchanged that I have been very nice.
My near and dear friends would second me on it that I don't do a lot so called unethical things. Few of them would say that I am a FOOL that I don't do it... but its a different topic all together.
I don't do it, coz i don't like it.
But now time and society & someone..... raises a question in front of me... what is the use of not being drunk on every second night, not watching porn sites, profiles on orkut all night, not calling up all those professional agents who provide this sexual sickness, not imagining a nude idol after looking at every single feminine creature, not doing every single act of kindness with some stupid motive, not giving any importance to my sleep (coz i was busy with my sickness all night... and no matter how important occasion was for that someone), not inviting anyone on dinner just to have a feeling of being with females, not behaving irresponsible every time, not taking people granted, not hurting by saying ANYTHING even though there is lot to say.......
No one expects to get something out of being good.... Its just personal happiness and basic characteristics which leads a man but at the same time crown of ATTITUDE MAN is not acceptable also.
once MBaz said that there are so many things in me to improve upon in order to survive.... I am still trying to change each and everything in me up to possible and acceptable limits. I tried a lot but couldn't help my self to stop people hating me.....
In each phase of my life, I have a learnt a single lesson inevitably every single time....
Expectation leads to Frustration... no matter from whom you expected... :)
