Some frnds are so good and kind and sweet.....and like a fool I don't call them up or mail them....and always remain engrossed in my work.....
You realise this when the people with whom you remain in touch more seem to become the opposite....and then suddenly you start realising the importance of those good-sweet frnds.
anywayz, now its not very late to realise such a thing.
current mood: State of Realisation....:P

“A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world.”
“The greatest sweetener of human life is Friendship. To raise this to the highest pitch of enjoyment, is a secret which but few discover.”
“Life is a bridge. Cross over it, but build no house on it.”
“True friendship is like sound health, the value of it is seldom known until it be lost.”
“There are chapters in every life which are seldom read and certainly not aloud.”
“Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow; Don't walk behind me, I may not lead; Walk beside me, and just be my friend.”
“The game of life is a game of boomerangs. Our thoughts, deeds and words return to us sooner or later with astounding accuracy.”
“A friend hears the song in my heart and sings it to me when my memory fails.”
“The greatest good you can do for another is not just to share your riches but to reveal to him his own.”
“It is not the years in your life but the life in your years that counts!”
“Perhaps the most delightful friendships are those in which there is much agreement, much disputation, and yet more personal liking.”
“What is a friend? I will tell you… it is someone with whom you dare to be yourself.”
“After all, life is really simple; we ourselves create the circumstances that complicate it.”
“The finest lives in my opinion are the common model, without miracle and without extravagance.”
“Not all of us have to possess earthshaking talent. Just common sense and love will do.”

Have been listening to this song since early in the morning....why not pen it down as well?....and even dedicate it to S....
I know you've heard these words a hundred other times before
And you've been hurt and so your heart has chose to close the door
Love broke your heart and brought you lies
Look in my eyes
You'll see a love that's deep and true
Tender and strong and all for you
You can trust this love
Honest, that's the honest truth
From the heart
I'm giving you everything, everything
From the heart
I promise you that I'll be there
I'll be there to love you
From the soul
I'm showing you all I feel, all I feel is
From the heart, from the heart
I will protect you and respect you and be all you need
And when you reach for love you'll only need to reach for me
These arms will never let you down
They're staying around
I'll walk with you through every storm
I'll keep you safe, I'll keep you warm
And you'll have no doubt
You're the one I'm living for.
I'll provide the love you need
Just trust my touch
Believe in me
I'll never make you cry
Givin' all I got with all I got inside.
HAPPY HOLI!!
current mood: cheerful

9:46 am - celebration Time....:D
|
Today calls for two celebrations! :D
Firstly, I am celebrating the first year completion of my dear blog. The blog that has fetched me a lot of lovely lovely sweet sweet friends! When I get back to all my previous posts, I can clearly see the waves of my moods. Sometimes up and sometimes down. The gradually growing affection towards my co-bloggers. Starting off with one comment here and there to buckets full of love and kindness and care.
I guess it’s the right time for me to explicitly put down a few things.
Starting off with the most dearest hugs to Ferz , khushee and Saru , my first friends on blogs. I remember those days when Pulkit, Mayank and myself used to sit at adjacent terminals at college and blog the whole day! :D Well, very happy to have such lovely friendship!
And here come the four musketeers! The most sweetest (err…grammatical mistake of using double superlatives??!! Lol!!) and most dearest – Richie, Neha, Cheetu, and Appu. They the sweetest group of ppl I have ever met….and me running out of words to describe their kind and loving nature… and I don’t have a dictionary nearby! :P
Hugs and kisses to you people too!
Hmm…the very dynamic Shobs! The person who pops out of the blue from the sky with a “hie” during chat. Lol!! Great to have a friend like you who always shares feelings!… Yep….my good friend Pooja. Hey Poo, hope to meet you soon haan!
And yea yea yea……all dynamic and energetic footballer Anant! I guess we must meet up soon….And one more thing: don’t dare to lift ur office phone when I call up. I mean I missed the chance of listening to some other voice!! Ahem!! Ahem!! Lol!!
The list is increasing and increasing….a BIG THANX to Ridhish, Babs, Laks, Rash,Vidz, Ms.Doodle…for keeping my blog blooming! :D If I have missed out some names, then forgive me…I am actually digging my heart for the names….u see u people are very deep inside my heart! :D
Secondly, its my Bday today! :D :D
Took a day off from work. Me gonna have a lot of sweets! :D
I wish I cud cut cake and blow candles and play with balloons…..but alas! my mom says that I am grown up now! :((…..Lol!!….I am atleast happy that I am the youngest on the floor at office! :D Atleast this make me feel that I am still young! ;) hehhehe…
PS: I may seem a bit childish….though once in a while chalta hai yaar! :P
current mood: happy
current music: Socho ki jheelon ka sheher ho....

10:24 pm - A Major Major Major Incident…
|
A major major major incident happened today. It seems as if I create history wherever I go. And today I created one.
It all dates back to Saturday when I was not well and yet came to office because we had Software Quality Assurance (SQA) Sampling to be done on our software. By around 2pm, I felt extremely giddy and nauseated. So, I told my team leader and I left office. I reached home and slept. By around 5pm, my colleague S who was at office at that time, called me up and asked me if I would be interested in going for a dinner with the European tourists whom we had met at Jaisalmer. I thought for a while and answered yes.
Now comes the worst part. There were a lot of people standing near the cubicle of my Project Leader and doing some TP. This guy S coolly walked down and said: “Can you guys suggested any good pubs?” And the crowd asked him back: “With whom are you going with?” He said “Ganesh”.
Well, this kicked off a major issue. I had taken leave inspite of SQA Sampling and now everyone came to know that we were supposed to go to a pub. There is nothing uncommon about going to a pub. But, taking leave because I wasn’t well and then being branded as going to pub, is horrible! Especially during a critical part of the project release! Everyone started discussing the same issue and the whole floor was filled with my name (I heard this from some one). I was unwell that day and just went to a dinner and NOT at all to a pub.
Today morning when I came to office, everyone was asking me the same thing and pulling my leg about this. My project leader and project manager too came to know about this and all of a sudden I was branded as the most irresponsible guy in the company.
I tried to remain silent at my desk as far as possible. The morning went by and even the afternoon. But, at around 5 pm, I was talking to one of my friends. My ex-team leader M called me. Along with him were two more team leaders. He too started pulling my leg. I got real real real hot. I blasted him left-right-center at one go. He was shocked to death. So were the other two team leaders. I told him on the face that he is a coward because if he had guts he would made fun of me on my face rather than making fun when I was away on Saturday. He then apologized to me a lot.
Then my project leader called me to his cabin and told me that I have been allotted a new team to work for the new release. I accepted it and went to discuss the project details with the other members.
I came back to my seat and felt real real horrible. I badly needed a break. While I was sitting at my seat and closing my eyes, my present team leader approached me. She was very kind to me. She said that she understands that it feels very bad when a person is talked about in the wrong sense inspite of he putting in a lot of effort. I told her that there is no professionalism in this office and that personal and business lives are mixed. There should be some line drawn so that people keep up the limit. She said that she knows that I am very capable and that I must not worry about what others think.
Well, after that I went and spoke to my Project Leader that I am not in a good state of mind and I can’t work tomorrow. He spoke to my team leader and then took me to a room. He then assured me that these things will not happen and we must try to put an end to personal leg pulling.
Then I came back, said thanks to my team leader and came back home. Tomorrow I am going to stay at home and take rest. Hopefully things will be fine when I get back the day after.
Even though all that happened shouldn’t have happened, but I guess it had to happen. It atleast made people think that they are going beyond limits in discussing personal issues in an official environment. Also, the team leaders would be a bit more conscious before talking to me, especially after I blasted my ex-team leader. This incident has also given a direct message to my project leader that people are frustrated and things have to change.
Well, I seem to spearhead something or the other every time. Even in college and now at work-place!

1:20 am - Hugs...
|
It's wondrous what a hug can do.
A hug can cheer you when you're blue
A hug can say, "I love you so,"
Or, "I hate to see you go."
A hug is "Welcome back again."
And "Great to see you! Where 'er you been?"
A hug can soothe a small child's pain
And bring a rainbow after rain.
The hug, there's just no doubt about it
We scarcely could survive without it!
A hug delights and warms and charms;
It must be why God gave us arms
Hugs are great for fathers and mothers,
Sweet for sisters, swell for brothers;
And chances are your favorite aunts
love them more than potted plants.
Kittens crave them, puppies love them,
Heads of states are not above them.
A hug can break the language barrier
And make your travel so much merrier.
No need to fret about your store of 'em;
The more you give, the more there are of 'em.
So stretch those arms without delay
And give someone a hug today!
current mood: peaceful
current music: Tumse milna, baatein karna...Tere Naam

11:05 pm - A day off atlast!
|
Got a day off after so many days! My previous holiday was on 7th Feb. So, obviously I was a lazy couch today. Got up at around 10am. Had my breakfast and went to the hair-styling saloon. Slept a lot in the afternoon. Got up by around 5:30pm and went for a stroll. Bought some biscuits packets and soup packets and Mentos and other commodities. I keep these stuffs in my cupboard at office so that I can keep munching something when I am hungry during late nights (or rather early mornings!) By the time I got back home, my parents had returned from their trip to Mangalore. We talked a lot (after all I hardly get time to talk to anyone at home due to my sick working hours at my company). I checked my mails. Had a mail from my project leader congratulating all of us for the project release. Ha ha ha…what an irony! We slog day-in and day-out for this. I neither feel happy nor proud about doing so much work and getting a new version of our product released. I have decided to write NONE in the Achievements Section of my appraisal report this time because its not an achievement to slog and get a project going at the cost of losing personal happiness and pleasures. Let me see who will question me this time.
Anywayz, had sweet corn soup and a lovely dinner with my parents! :D My dad was telling about donating all the old clothes and furniture and books to orphanages and old-age homes. I think it’s a great idea. I gave a suggestion to order for a mini-truck and load it with all unused things and donate them to some worth-while place. :D :D
Had a SMS chat with few of my friends.
Now, time to sleep! Yawn. Good nite! :D

Had a lovely night out. No! Not at office! But on the 24th floor of the Public Utility Building on MG road. There is a restaurant there. And with whom was I there? With Mr.Peter, the European tourist whom I had met at Jaisalmer. Along with him was with Mr. Micheal Trough, an American tourist.
It was a great evening. Had drinks and dinner sitting next to a window and taking the night aerial view of Bangalore.
It feels so great to keep in touch with some one whom you meet suddenly out of the blue! Wow! That really feels great! I had met Peter on the way to the Thar desert at Jaisalmer. He came down to Bangalore yesterday and gave me a call. And yipeee….today we met up! Kewl!

1:53 am
|
Well, yesterday night I left at 12:30am. The car had been waiting down for long. Got into it. Was real real tired. Usually the driver is a real talkative guy and keeps on telling something or other about Bangalore or Mysore. But, yesterday he too seemed to be too tired and kept quite all long the journey. He was playing songs.
My head was spinning. May be because of over work.This is the 19th or 20th continous day when I am slogging. Including Sats and Suns.
I kept my eyes closed and was leaning back.I felt as if I was in a weird world. As if everything is going round and round. My eyes suddenly opened. For about 5-6 seconds I wasnt able to recollect where am I! Then again I closed my eyes and leaned back. Ultimately when I reached home, the driver woke me up. I saw that there were tears in my eyes and my shirt collar was wet with tears. Gosh! I don't remember what had happened in the meantime. Can't recollect anything...what was I thinking all this while! Just got down from the car as if nothing had happened and enetered home.Weird!
Anywayz, I am back to work today as usual! :D
current mood: Feeling like an alcoholic!

10:33 am - Secretive Admirer!!
|
Probably I am displaying more-and-more of my displeasure and uneasiness at office day-by-day.
This is the 18th consecutive day I have been literally slogging with just 3-4 hours of
sleep every night. My head is breaking at this moment. Feeling giddy. I have been asked to
stay back tonight too for setting up the oracle schema for testing. So, I am the
'chosen one'! Phew!
Anywayz, no point cribbing about the same old thing. I wanted to post a funny incident
since many days. Now since many of the packages are invalid on our Oracle schema, I have
got sometime to write out something.
Remember that post where I had written about the Lucky Ali show I had visited along with
Amit and Anant? Yep! That post! Anywayz, the significance of that post shall be known soon.
During October last year, I started getting many SMSs from an unknown number. I usually
don't care about such SMSs and emails and I delete them outright(afterall there are
better things to do than to read them!) The frequency of such SMSs started increasing.
Those were like: "HI!"
"How are you?"
"Are you busy?"
"Why don't you reply? Why are you breaking my heart?"
And during Diwali, when I was in Mumbai, I got a SMS wishing me Happy Diwali.
And got many such SMSs. I never ever bothered to reply to any of them. Once I had
replied saying "Who?". And I got a reply "Someone Special!"
I hate such things. If a person wants to say something, then he/she must come in front
and say directly. No point being so secretive or afraid.
Then I was very busy in my last project release and never bothered to reply to any SMS,
though they kept on coming frequently (something like 10-15 per day!)
I got three picture-SMSs on New Year's Eve and VDay too!
And this went on till one day in early this month, I again replied "Who?" The reply I got
was "Call me up!"
Huh? Then I said lets break the ice. I called up. The voice was of a gal. From the voice you
could make out that her age is something between 20-25.Or may be 18-25.I said "Its me the
person whom you keep sending SMSs." She said "Do you remember me? Or my voice?"
That was a shocking question.
"What kind of a question is that?"
"I am Mansi.Remember now?"
"Nopes"
"The gal who gave you the ticket for the Lucky Ali show"
"Oh yea"
Then I remembered that I had met and talked to her at the entrance of Palace Grounds, where
the show was held. You can read about that conversation in one of my posts. It happened
in sometime around Sep or Oct.
She said "We should meet."
"Meet? Well, Ok"
I met her last week. The first thing she said was "Sorry for those SMSs. Was just playing
a prank with you. You had given me your no# when you had ordered for the show tickets."
LOL!! This is such a funny incident. What a way to meet!! Secretively send SMSs for almost 4-5 months
and then suddenly tell who you are and then meet!! LOL!

9:55 pm - A Direct Remark...
|
On Sunday night, it was around 11pm when I left office (yea, I have work on Sundays too!). There was only one car Indica booked by the Admin department and there were nearly 20 of us in the office waiting to go home. We were contemplating on this, when my team leader gave a suggestion that we should call up the Admin Head (who was at home) and ask for more cars (The Admin was on leave). It suddenly came out from my mouth "The Admin and HR are the two useless entities in this company!"...And everyone turned at me. I just shrugged and said "Whatever is true has to be said!"....LOL!!
