One memorable journey :)

Well i am back to my Favorite city...after a 2 days long journey finally i am here, safe, sound and happy ;) Weather is sexy and very romantic :)

Well this journey was again a memorable one...lot many ppl in my boggie...72 ;) ha ha yes well to be very frank i did not interact with all 72 ;) but yes interacted with almost 20 ppl :) in my compartment there were 8 ppl. Letme start explaining how it went. Well mom came to drop with with massi and her husband to the station. when i entered inside there was an old jat fellow sitting on my bearth...he must be around 62..but looked like 80 yrs old. He smiled at me when i looked at him..i also smiled back...(the thing which i do frequently)...I pushed my bag down the seat..looked up..he smiled again...now this time i got little suspicious...smiling everytime..wats wrong? then he asked me in proper haryana tone " Kit jaogi".Thankfully i understood the language as i was in haryana for 3 good years...where i learnt nothing but crap...later on came to know that he is a prinicpal to a private college. And u wont believe his english is better than most of us...i was stunned to hear his english..he told us couple of stories abt his life...Ppl call this man "Shastriji" coz he is knowledegeable...he was travelling with his students...in my compartment his 2 females and one guy were his students...

Then there was a bhaiyaJi...delhite, married and 2 kids...he was decent and a nice man...

Then there was a guy who was sitting next to me. He was shy, and reserve kinds. I assumed him to be a college student. his eyes were good..one attracting point in him...after almsot 2 hours..i asked him " which college?" He gave me a strange looked...well i am working he said..then he told me that he is working in some small start up company. after a while he told me that he is an IIT product...i looked at him thinking why these guys look so normal? kher it was nice talking to him..his name..oh forgot to tell..Rachit

...killed our half day somehow..it was HOT...then there came an aunty..she was sitting on a bearth which was little far...all this time her 14 yrs son was sleeping on it..This aunty started asking us our details...it was little awkward the way she started but she was good...then she started asking me my details...what are u doing? where are u working..where do u stay..with whom are u staying how do u manage your food...how come u were in delhi? etc etc...then she asked me how many brother sisters...i replied " one younger brother...he is studying in nagpur". She started looking at Rachit...then she asked..so first time brother is going with u? well no, he will come later...then where is he getting down (pointing towards rachit)...bangalore, i replied..but u said he will come later...god!!!! high time..she thought Rachit to be my Younger brother...well i chuckled..i said "Auntie Rachit is not my brother..he is working in bangalore and we met here only". Auntie said "Ohhhh". Poor lady..i looked at Rachit's face..Poor guy was not able to react...he cud not smile also ;) Kher this wasnt the end of it...

u know what happens in Indian railways!!!...somewhere, all of a sudden Eunuchs will board the train..clapping and touching guys and asking for money. One Eunuch came and headed in our direction...asked me..and i smiled...i pointed my fingers towards Rachit who was sitting next to me...poor Rachit looked this side and as soon as he saw me doing that he turned away...Eunch now moved a step and started keeping his hand on rachits head...Rachit made an innocent face and pointed towards bhaiya ji who was sitting next to him...Bhaiyaji, was trapped and gave some money to them. After taking the money he blessed all three of us. he thought we three were together. then he/she looked at me and rachit and blessed again...One more person thinking us brother and sisters...the reason being Rachit is just 5'3" and i am taller than him by 2 inches ;)

One more funny thing about Rachit: this was his first long journey by train, so next day morning he asked me "Ppl dont take bath or what?" I cud not stop laughing...wanted to tell him " bath tub is ready for u, highness" but did not say anything...just laughed and laughed...he felt embarassed...finally told him "NO"

Somehow killed both the days... Auntie was too caring ...and i did not miss a chance to pull rachits leg saying that "Your mother in law is just too sweet". Overall journey was fun.

Hows it? waiting for comments...

May 24, 2005

Transferred or not?

Well yes i forgot to mention my last day in office before leaving. How stupid of me to miss such an important thing. I did my work whole day and at 6.00 p.m went to my VP's room. He was busy over a call but asked me to sit. After his telecon, i told him that i am moving tonite and if there is some work i will be available on my cell and personal email id. He looked at me thinking something. I was very serious that time. The converstaion went like this;

VP: So excited for Delhi?
S: hmmm…not exactly
VP: How’s work?
S: ok
VP: When are u coming back?
S: reporting on 30th May
VP: Why m I feeling that u wont come back from Delhi? I know one fine day u will call from Delhi saying that your mom is not letting u come back...or something like this.
S: well to be very frank as of now there is no such scene
VP: I feel that u are looking out?
S: I haven’t tried anywhere and don’t have anything in my hands yet.
VP: u don’t have now, but once u will go back u will find one
S: (no comments…)
VP: I am seriously trying hard for your transfer, but u know these processes are slow
S: yes, I understand
VP: (after looking at my expressionless face) Ok what I will do is, I will drop a mail again to the concern person and then we will get a clear picture. I will compose now itself...come this side…and see I am actually writing.
S: its ok…I trust u (inside wanted to shout on the highest pitch...I don’t)

I left the room. I came to my desk, finished my work. I missed my 6.00 p.m cab so was waiting for 7.00 p.m cab. While winding off the work, I got a call from VP on my cell.

VP: where are u?
S: in Office only, what happened?
VP: Can u come to my cabin now?
S: ok, I will be there in a minute.

I entered his cabin. He was working on his laptop. I pulled a chair for myself when he asked me to come near to his laptop. He wanted to show me some mail. I went closer and then he opened a mail. The mail was from someone in delhi saying that we can start our office from 1st june itself. I checked the mails header as I did not want to take a chance. The mail was genuine. VP smiled and said “ u are transferred now and can report there from 1st june” The way he said transferred, it sounded like “ you are fired” touchwood he did not say that.

I did not know how to react. The last minute transfer was more of a shock to me. He saw me in a confused state and asked “what happened”. Well I have not packed my things and I have to catch a train in 2 hrs. I wont be able to shift properly now. If u cud have told me this news yesterday I wud have taken everything back. I haven’t clear the hostel dues and things like that.

He understood the situation. He told me to come back to Bangalore on the scheduled date and then finish of the dues and go back. Well going back on 1st was just impossible. So I asked him to extend it and he agreed.

After reaching to delhi I called him up to find out the date of reporting in delhi so that I can book my flight tickets…he asked me for some time. Well why does he want more time? What for?

Yesterday I tried calling him but he did not answer the call…I guess he was in a meeting. Morning when I called, he told me he will call back He told me that he will call back after office hours. Now just waiting for his call for the final confirmation.

Little nervous...my fingers are crossed.

How to kill ur valuable time :)... my routine these days

Get up at 5.30 a.m
Go for morning walk
comeback at 7.00 and listen to news
take your breakfast at 9
Sleep for 2 hours
Get up and switch on the comp...use internet...drop few mails
eat lunch at 2 and sit with mom and kill her time also
come back to internet at 3...browse some sites
browse...browse and browse
Take your dinner at 9
make 2-3 calls to friends and relatives
go for a night walk at 10
browse net again for study material
sleep at 1.00 a.m

Kindly note that I have stopped watching TV and going out...thats very unlike me…but what to do its delhi after all.

Delhi...yes about delhi …I don’t know on an average how many girls get rapped here per day…some 3 bomb blasts happened on Sunday… aur pata nahin kya kya hota hai yahan...dirty city.

Met Reems

Finally reema came down and stayed at my place. She came at 4 pm. In the nite we went for a nite walk with mom. Nite was fun. We both were in the same room. I logged in my yahoo messenger. Suddenly a guy approached and said hello on messenger. This guy was torturing for quite some time. I told reema the same and asked her if we can do some naughty things…she agreed…gosh we screwed this guys happiness…we made him crazy…went to an extent that the guy stopped replying. Felt so good that just cud not stop laughing. These kind of naughty things used to be our meals in graduation. Now life is plain and simple. But whenever I meet reema same thing starts all over again. I guess due to the vibes and the relation we share :) Next day morning she left as she was supposed to go somewhere . I missed her next day…

Ahhhh i am here...DEL-HI

My journey was not all that bad...well just 38.5 hrs in train and if u know the art of sleeping in train than thats a gift from god ;) Its too hot (42 degree) here. My brother came to meet me in Nagpur (midstation) as he had asked for something...It was a 5 mins stop...nice meeting with him.

I reached here on Sunday and my cousin came to pick me at the station (which was not required actually). We took a rick and finally i reached home. Home Sweet home. I entered my home after 3 yrs. All these years i met my parents in my cousins marriages. This is a new rented house and i dont know where my mom-dad stayed for past 3 yrs. Anyways gone are those days now. Mom was waiting for me desperately so was my little cousin Mitali. I hugged both of them and felt so good. Had a shower and then mom served me the Hot food. Well its not that i did not eat hot food anywhere but its home made food which i am pointing at. Food was just too delicious.

After lunch, i just unpacked one bag and heard a knock, on the door. I was so busy in unpacking that mom had to answer it. Some noises...OMG so many cousins came just to meet me. I was sitting and chatting with them. But that was not end of it...one after another calls...oh m i so important? well that was a surprise...All my maternal aunts called and i spoke to almost everybody. After everybody left i slept off. Next day mom woke me up at 5.30 a.m for morning walk. As per her i am FAT ...Gosh morning walks...but i did not utter a single word and went with her :( Now everyday i get up at 5.30 a.m no matter what time i get sleep...its not the only torture...she gives me rotis without ghee unlike other moms ...though i dont like ghee but i like when moms force their children to eat healthy food. I dont need any food for atleast 20 days as per my mom :(

Next 3 days i locked myself in the house. Did not go out anyhere. Not to my cousins house next lane. I am just taking rest..rest and rest. I have become so lethargic that i did not call my friends also. My cell was not working as the charger is giving some problems and got this internet connection day before yesterday. Wanted to blog yesterday itself but had nothing much to write.
Yesterday I taught my mom how to mail. She mailed to my brother...good achivement...now i have to teach her how to chat. I am just pitying my poor brother...now he will get big lectures thru emails instead of love letters...ha ha ha..must be cursing me for making a HI-Tech mom...

My friend sukanya came to meet me today at 1.00 p.m. Oh i met her after 3 yrs. Her outlook is totally changed..but she is same good girl like before. We chatted and chatted. We had lunch together at my place. Then in the evening i went to Rajouri Market for shopping. Yes girlish behavior attimes. I always prefer shopping with her. Good frequency and tastes are alike. Then at 7.00 she made a move and i came back home.

Ohh yes forgot to describle my new neighbours...well they all look alike..well no twins yaar...i am staying in a Surd colony...all look same to me ;)...i am tired of seeing those red, white, blue turbans ;) Sometimes i wonder whether there wives get confused?...good for some he he ;)

Now just wondering as what to do? any suggestions guys?

Exploring things can be dangerous also:Theater review

Well Saturday i was working as usual, thankfully sunday was off. Took rest and evening planned for a movie " Kya Kool hain hum" starring Tushar kapoor, ritesh, Neha dhupia and Esha Koprikar. I wanted to watch this movie as the trailors were good but found that very few halls were playing it and all of them were farrrrrr from my place. Evening came to know that 'Radha Krishna" a theater near to our place, was playing the same movie. About this theater i had a good feedback. So booked the niteshow tickets as we were late for the evening show.

Show started at 9.30 p.m. I was very excited for this movie..but as soon as i entered the hall my excitement vanished. Big old fans (fan as pankha not as fan following ) in hall instead of AC, Pathetic crowd and watelse to describe? My seat was in the middle column and that too in the last row...so no air at all..no ventilation. Show started and i was involved in the movie. After an hour i started sweating. i was not able to breath properly and moreover had a throat infection. God it was unbearable. I was just waiting for the movie to get over. Passing the time in that hall was just a nightmare. I have never seen such a pathetic hall in my life.


Oh Cinema Hall...for those who dont know...

I saw cinema hall for the first time when i was doing my final year of graduation. Before that i never got a chance to see what a hall was like. I always used to ask my mom dad, brother, cousins and friends abt their experiences in hall, how does it look like, how many ppl can sit together etc etc...so ignorant i was...whenever i wanted to see a movie dad used to get the cassette at home and i was forced to watch at home coz theaters used to be lousy and crowd used to be cheap in those areas. How desperate i was for a movie hall.

My first movie on the hall was " Yaadein" not to mention that i did not like the movie and the place where i saw this movie was sonepat, and my uncle's family (tauji) took me there. Second movie which i saw was again a big flop (some madhuri dixits movie...gosh i dont remenber the title also). Third movie was " TUM BIN" which i went with my hostel mates illegally. It was a sad movie and i filled a bucket there ;) Reems was sitting next to me. I hope she doesnt remember that now ;) After coming to blore i have seen so many movies that i dont remember the count also. Just wanted to see all the possible halls. What i could not see in 20 yrs i saw in 2 yrs :)

Finally i met him yesterday

Yesterday i was too tired to go to office so took an off. Afternoon when i got up i was feeling little better. So i gave a call to someone whom i am seeing continously for two and half years. He is so nice. So caring. The way he talks and explain..
well i just love the way he carries himself..the way he deals with others. After coming to bangalore he is the only one i keep thinking abt day and nite..while eating..while sleeping..in the morning..in the afternoon...He is always busy but every time i call him i have to remind him abt our meeting.

I dressed myself as it was an important date. I called him up. He was busy. But i insisted him to meet. I was dying for this day. After two and half years i wanted to enjoy. Wanted to comeout of the same dull meetings. So he agreed. I went to see him but was stopped by a receptionist. She asked me if i had an appointment coz the person doesnt entertain anyone without an appointment. I smiled and told her just tell him i am here. She sent a person to see if he was in his room. The person came back and told me that he is in library studying something, so asked me to wait in a waiting room. I was sitting there with couple of people. I was just thinking abt myself. How will it be. My heart was pounding. i just closed my eyes. when i opened i saw him in the other room. I just stood up and went and made myself comfortable in the long chair which is always relaxing and where i sit everytime i go. He smiled and asked what happened. Well i just wanted to tell him this. How will he react. Hope he will take it cooly.

I replied " I am leaving...gng to delhi" waited for him to say something. He observed me " when are u coming back?" " no idea..may be a month" i replied. He finally asked me " Are u sure u want to do it" i was nervous.

Yes pls do it, cud not hide my excitement. "Fine" he said. He went inside. Opened an almirah got something in his hand, came closer to me. God i was so nervous. He took those braces out. ;) yes i was talking abt my dentist dumb guys!!! he is a decent person :). It was no doubt painful. It started bleeding. He finished and told me to come next week. coz i have to get that glue removed from my teeth. I thanked him for it. Two and half years with braces...none of my classmates remember seeing me without them. I came to blore and within days i was at my dentists place.

Yesterday i saw my face in mirror to see the change. I did not know whether its good or bad but definitly its different. After coming from dentist i went to chemist shop to buy a normal brush...yes had a different kind of brush for all these years. Then came to a grocery store for purchasing things but back of my mind i was searching for something. Something i did not taste in 2.5 yrs.

I found it on the counter itself. A new brand in the market. Yes i bought chewing gums. That was a strict no for me for 2.5 yrs. I picked up "orbit" which is a new brand and calorieless and also prevents tooth decay (thats written on the pack) and guess what? i had some 5 peices yesterday...nite also was chewing and then slept. Midnite when i was turning otherside i realised that i forgot to spit that. Went and spit that and slept again.

Morning when i came most of the ppl cud not realised the change. waise i hardly open my mouth as for me my comp ..my work and my friends (reema, crab) who are online are enough. I hate indulging in gossips here. Few of them noticed when i was having lunch...lied to my mom when she called up yesterday enquiring abt my braces " she asked me if i removed it or not...i told her no because i want to give her a surprise. She yelled at me and i enjoyed it. she asked me reason for not removing it and this is what i told her " The Doctor is very young. He is from kerala. His wife delivered a baby. So he has gone to his hometown for a month. nobody else can remove this as i m under his treatment ;) " I wanted to record the yelling ..he he
