Dusk

End of another year. Time surely flies. Everything is moving so fast that everything around me is changing, and the sad thing is even people are changing. :(

2009 – What a year! Dawn of 2009 got me a job and the dusk is leaving me unemployed – well for now. Wondering why? Hmmm… Because my company is closing, Kind of like, going into hibernation till it recovers from recession.

So today, on my last day here, I am writing my last blog about PT. Kind of like a pensieve to memories in PT. OOPS! I guess I have to explain what a pensieve is “A Pensieve is a stone receptacle used to store and review memories” There, that is a pensieve. :)

Back to my memories – I will always remember the first time I had to search for my boss’s home to attend the interview. The roads were so confusing. My first day of work – December 4th 2008 - I was expecting an elderly lady to be my colleague, but it turned out to be a girl like me, dare I say, Just like me. Swathi. May be because we were the only two people in the company or maybe we just liked each other’s enthusiasm to learn and work, we became close. And the friendship remains till today :) Next our first project, it was just 20 lines of code and yet we took a month to complete it. LOL. Next, I became a workaholic. I have spent up to 12 hours in this office. Will never forget those days. 

And some of the things like,

• The day my classmate became my second colleague - Vaish 
• The day I received my first call from the client – Man! I was so nervous. 
• My first team member – again my another classmate – Sumana
• The day Swathi fell from her chair. It was hilarious.LOL. Two of the five legs of the rotating chair were broken. 
• The day Swathi left – I had a minor operation [leg]. I couldn’t walk and I was coming to office with daddy. On her last working day – I stood near the gate, with the bandage in my leg and said a horrible broken bye and jumped into the car and went away. :(
• Days when I have been alone at office.
• The way I have abused/scolded my boss.
• The way he has abused/scolded me. 
• Our office balcony.
• Our first “team” lunch.
• The day I received my appraisal letter.
• The day I was locked up by mistake in the office. – First it was hilarious then it became irritating. I had to wait for such a long time for somebody to come and open the locks for me. 
• The movies which I have watched at office. The tension of being caught.
• Then playing Farmville, Mafia wars, café world etc, etc, etc games in facebook.
• Some of the GTalk chats that I had. 

All in all, I had a great time here. True, the last month has been very frustrating. Yet, I learned a lot here. I enjoyed a lot. My first company and I’m emotionally attached to it. :) 

2009 has been the most unexpected year. Who thought my first company would close down and I would lose my job and not just job, I am about to lose people too. :( It’s another long story, may be, some other time. If I feel up to it. 

So now waiting for start of another year, waiting for new things, new job, etc. And this time my resolution is ready (You will hear about it later). And I am happy to say, I have followed my 2008’s resolution for 2 years, and I continue to follow it.

Until next time. Goodbye.

Expressing ourselves properly

Imagine a situation where you are going to meet a much awaited friend of yours after a long time. What is normally expected at these situations? Hmm… May be a “Hi, How are you?” or at least a “Hi”. You won’t believe what I said, “Were you walking behind me all the time?” Was that even necessary? Ahhhh… And as soon as I said that I kicked myself. But it was too late, the damage was already done. So even if your iffy for a jiffy, you better shut the heck up, or you are bound to blurt out something that you will regret for the rest of your life.

I thought I was the only person to tell inappropriate and absolutely unnecessary things at the most important situations. But, here is one more example.
So, I come to my friend’s place, after almost three to four hours of being a pillion rider in a bike. Completely exhausted. And the first thing she asks me is “What’s wrong with your hair?” I know I looked perfect for those ads where people get shocked and their hair stands up straight, but still, that was not the question that I was expecting :) . In those three to four hours, I never looked at myself in the mirror, why? Because I knew I would be looking like that :D still, it isn’t right to ask that first right? That question could have waited till after “How was your day?”

And of all the people, my mom shocked me a lot when she asked me the same question. So, I came home, with my hair still looking horrible, but I also had cold and a high fever to match that. And she had also made me wait for an hour on the door step when I had fever and I was shivering by the time she came home. Still, the first thing she asked was about my hair. Can you believe that?

Anyways, I guess people do care about hair than people themselves. ;) Still, it will be nice to tell proper things at the proper time. In short, we have to express ourselves properly rather than messing up the whole thing.

Haven’t we all experienced these kinds of situations at one point or another? Ponder over it.

Till then, Take care. Bye

Glitters and Drizzles

Mysore city - A city of Glitters and Drizzles from atop Chamundi hills. Especially today as it was raining which later turned into beautiful drizzling. And driving in that rain up the hill - We enjoyed a lot :)

I had forgotten how it feels to be absolutely light and happy. Lately it had been only work, work and some more work. So enjoyed a lot actually.

Spent some time on the steps. It was drizzling and some of you may know, the view of Mysore city from the steps, which is at the back of the temple is so good. But today the drizzling made it special. The whole of Mysore city looked as if its made of gold... Everybody says "All that glitters is not gold" But I say Mysore is Gold. Looked like a city of gold.

Later, A roasted corn in my hand + The view point on the way down = Awesome.
We spent a lot of time there.

Well, that's it... I just felt like preserving this memory. So that whenever i re-read my posts, I can recall this moment...

Until next time - Chao.

Alone at office

Alone at office. Alone at office. Alone at office.

Sounds like i am lying... But its true. Even i should have taken leave today. I am so bored. I haven't talked in 6 hours. Feels like i am going to forget how to talk.

So what does one do when they are alone at office??? I don't think anyone has experienced this to tell me what they do. Anyways... I am sitting and listening to music, singing along with it and i even put a step or two when my favorite song came. Then back to boring work (for 5 minutes). Then again playing in facebook, orkut etc etc websites. Now i am hoping that my boss does not come across this blog. Oh boy, I don't learn from my mistakes do I?? I was in deep trouble a year back for doing the similar thing. Posted a stupid thing in someones scrap book. Whew. Horrible times. I still bang my head for that.

So the reason for writing this is mainly because, I dont know what to else to do??? :) Like the most famous saying - "When in rome, do as romans do" I say

"When bored, Write something in your blog"

Let me get back to work...

Chao.

In the memory of Guddu

This article is in the name of my very very short-lived Pet. I know its weird for people who know me - Because "My" and "pet" are the two most unlikeliest words that will come in one sentence from me. I am girl who used to stand far way from a puppy or a kitten staring at it as if it would come and eat me. But now, Things have changed. My views have changed.

Wondering how?

Well, we found a kitten one day on out roof - in a pot. It must have been 15days old or less. It was so small it looked like a small mouse. So small, tiny and fragile. We knew the mother had abandoned the baby. So we took him in. Cared for him. Fed him every few hours. But still he dint make it. We must have looked after him for 3-4 days. But those 3-4 days changed me a lot. Pets are major stress busters. Anyways, So I wanna dedicate next few words to Guddu.

You will always be remembered as the smallest baby of the house, The one who changed me a lot. The one who bought joy into all our lives. I know you used to love keeping your little pink nose in between two fingers. And I will tell you now even though i have told this many times "It was very cute". And i just want to tell you that, You are loved and remembered even today.

Cheers.

Can't live without you baby....

Let me just start by saying...

"Its You, Its just You on my mind... Always...
I just cannot stop thinking about you,
You bring smile to my face,
Not to mention the occasional frown,
There is nothing else that i can think about, Other than you,
You have become MyWorld."

Stop.... Hold on... Don't say at last yet...
Don't let your imagination run wild...
I am just talking about my work ;)
And thats what happens if you spend 10 to 12 hours at work... :)

He he he... I know... I know... You must be thinking i am crazy...
But.... Thats my life...

Hmmm... I just wanted to do something today... So I just blogged ;)
I just want to know what you were thinking while you were reading it...
So let me know...
I will be waiting...

Work. Wierd. Mind

Somebody asked me recently... "What are you doing now?" I proudly replied [With my head held high] Working. You won't believe the next question they asked- "Where??? Infosys???" What.... Is that the only company around? Is that the only company which has a name? I will never understand these people... But still I answered them to their face "No... Priya Technologies" There were so confused... They were thinking which company is this??? Why is she telling it as if it's a huge company??? Anyways, they stopped talking about that because they could not tell anything else to me. But the end of this topic started a new embarrassing, irritating topic, which left me red faced because of anger and embarrassment. Anyways today if you ask me... "How is my work???" You will definitely hear these two words-"Terrific... But Hectic". Well that's about my work...

Haven't we all said this sentence - "Its my wish... Meri marzi" Till recently i dint know the responsibility that comes with that sentence. As my company is a startup company, and my boss is in Bangalore, the whole responsibility of the project falls on our head. I had started to hate the whole freedom... Now, I got used to the freedom.... And even like the freedom... It's just weird that the idea of freedom at college is different from the actual freedom. I don't know how many other ideas of our college life is going to change... hmmm... This makes me think about so many other ideas of my childhood, College days, etc, etc, etc.... Are they all going to be different??? I guess nobody can answer that... Only time will answer it...

Mind... My Mind... My unbelievable mind.... I can write a big novel about my mind... It thinks about things which i can't believe it still thinks... Too complicated to discuss that... What i wanted to ask was... Don't you think my blog is actually weird... Haven't you ever wondered... "Who is she actually talking to???" I have so many sentences which are like.. "Don't you think so??" "I know you are wondering..." Why i am asking is... I was going through my own blog... Then only one question hit my mind... "Who am i actually talking to???" "Do i actually have some virtual person in mind while i am writing these article???" Who am i exactly talking to??? If somebody can answer these questions for me.... I will be very happy :)

I almost forgot... A new year started... Its a new beginning... I wish each and every person... A Happy New Year... All the best for everybody's new beginning, new start, new hope, new dream... Have a happy and successful year :) And i wish to have the same thing too...
