Chulbul Pandey

I happened to see this movie - Dabang!!! it was actually dabang :D

The whole movie was salu dominated and i guess the actress who made her debut did not get enough screen space. Salu's dialogues as usual were heavy and fun to hear. One thing i like about typical salu movie is you can leave your brain back home and proceed for his movies.

Mallika's munni badnaam hui was a hit number and which u just cant let got out of your mind...what a hilarious song...I was so impressed with chulbul uff salu's performance that i have named a manager as chulbul pandey and now my whole team refers to him with the same name. (including my bosses). Thankfully he doesnt know what is he known as else i am sure he will throw me out for all this :D

Trip to Yercaud

returned from the team outing from a place called Yercaud. Yercaud is in Tamil Nadu and is a hill top. Weather has to be good due to its altitude but the best part is the kind of resorts available and the view that you get. I did  not do much of exploring as was anyways tired of looking at hills and their view points.

Team outing had lot of booze, bon fire and obviously floor breaking dance by some guys who were completely sloshed in drinks, i m sure no one can identify the composition! People go crazy when they actually drink..i used to think that most of the guys will act mature when females are around but guess i was wrong. U get to see the hidden talent in all those shy guys who otherwise do not open their mouth in corporate life. Eye opener for sure.

Overall it was a fun trip and definitely a break from the stress ful life..wish to write more but somethings remain beautiful if they arent expressed. 

Life in a meeting room

You start your day and rush with your backpack to office to join a meeting which has anyways started 10 mins earlier (meeting is on time but ofcourse you are not!) and then mumble to the colleague sitting next to you to understand the context of last 10 minutes. The colleague feeling disturbed but sympathizing with you with either softly tell u coming close to your ear ensuring he is not watched or scribble on a notepad placed infront of him.

By the time you get the context you are generally asked for your inputs and you dont know what to say so you begin with clearing your throat or start with a big "ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm" to initiate thoughts which anyways arent important and will breif what others actually know!

Once done, you thank god that nobody noticed your stupidity and you want meeting to be concluded so that you can catch up for a tea, but to your disappointment the moderator will apologise for stretching the meeting for next half an hr ruining your tea/coffee plans. Only mercy moderator will have is to provide you a cup of coffee by ordering the same in the meeting room. something better than nothing right?

Post your first meeting you realise that there are lot of mails that require your action and you run fast to your desk in order to reply back and be called "prompt" in replies. Someone made an SLA of replying in 24 hrs time so they have to stick to it now....

you see some reminder making a noise and coming with a orange color and sitting on your task bar but so engrossed in work that you just think that orange is a close color of task bar blue. By the time you pay attention to the orange you realise -  " shucks i was supposed to be on time for another meeting".

The fight of landing on a different floor with a different meeting room ambience and name you make yourself comfortable and talk to yourself "hope noone realised how i forgot reading about the agenda of this meeting" Meeting goes on and on and the time is reminded to you not by watch by the growling sound of your stomach! Lunch time and none of them are bothered; either ppl diet to be on size zero or they had something before getting in the room,  you can just speculate these.

As always meeting runs late leading to a stomach noise which can  heard on the room top by the food serving vendor...you get rid of the meeting, run and catch on the most exciting menu of the vendor which more or less looks like same on 22 days of a month. (+- 5% variation in color of rice).


and life continues in meeting rooms post lunch as well....
