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!

| 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!
