OFF From OFFice

No boss in the office, last day of the attachment..Why to go? Took an off..Wats wrong in that? Just like the way IMPOSSIBLE says I-M-Possible, "Office", by default, contains the word OFF !!! :p .

The staff of my PG !!!! Bugger thought I have gone to office and have forgotten to switch off the fan and he switched off the light from outside. Here I was sitting in scorching heat thinking that there is no electricity. Anyway, other one saw me and then the light was switched on.

Just enjoying my day doing nothing. :)

The Fan Saga And The Send Off Party

28-04-2010 - Story after 100 years ,"There once lived a strange creature in Bangalore city in India who switched off the fan when the people were feeling damn hot...!!!!". I am privileged to share time space with such a creature or rather I am her chronicler in this respect !!!! The stupid lady sits just next to me and the moment she enters the office, switches off the fan because SHE FEELS COLD (Thats what I remember she said)...The other day I asked to switch on the fan and she started whining 'WHYYYYYYYY ?? WHYYYYYYYYYY??? ' Damn !!!

Though AC is just above but we still need the fan, if at the slow speed, to circulate the cool.

In the evening was the send off party to one of our colleagues. Nice one, I must say. Nice ambience, good food. But I was worried about getting home because it was late in the night and I try not to travel in night in Bangalore.

Anyway, I got the bus and auto and reached home at around 11:00 pm.

29-04-2010 - In the office. Fan is already off !!! :p .. Today she apologised for switching the fan off, lol. She gave the reason that her hair will be disturbed if the fan is on. She didn't, probably, realize that her hair are tied already. No idea she has how stupid she sounded when she gave this lame excuse. Anyway, my training in this department is about to finish in another one day so why to worry?

Man Of Small Things

Well, today, I can say, I did some studies in the office. In the morning had a successful talk on Hague Convention with the boss. Later in the day had quite a confident discussion with the boss on a section of Companies Act. Colleague gave me a form to fill which I did as well.

On the way back, didn't have to wait too long for the second bus.

Lately, happiness in my life is dependent on such trifles. :)

I can say "Man Of Small Things".

Another Lazy Sunday And Boring Monday

25-04-2010 - Sundays really never have much stories to be told for the person is never out enough to have any. Just woke up late, was on internet nearly entire day surfing here and there. In the evening went out with the camera. I got some good shots and missed one. :)

That was all for sunday.

26-04-2010 - Day has just started guys. In the office. Will complete the story for the day in the evening.

Ok, formal evening bulletin now. They say 'every dog has its day'. I say today's day was a shit !!!! What with no electricity in the office post lunch (SHIT), no seat in the bus (SHIT), horrible traffic (SHIT)....So the outcome is that today's day was a COMPLETE SHIT !!!!!

Barso Re Megha-Megha !!!!

No..Aishwarya Rai didn't gimme a peck !!! I am wondering that how the requirement of a thing changes with the circumstances. It is hot and I know that the rain would be a solace but as I have a laptop with me and no conveyance, I wish it should not rain or at least when I am out.

It again rained when I was returning and bloody auto wala charged more because it was raining !!!!

Chalo no probs. I was, anyway, just wishing to get back to my PG asap.

Just about to have dinner.

Boss's Pen Fixation And Internet Trouble

Again lost a day in the etymology of my blog !!! No problem. Will make up for that. :)

23-04-2010 - The taxation department head candidly confessed that, for a pen, he either has a cap and not the body or a body and not the cap. He looked at me and asked if I had both. I did have. Suddenly, he set his eyes at the pen in my pocket, praised it and without even asking, took it from my pocket for the day and asked me to get 2 for him too. Though he would duly reimburse for that. Bought the pens for him in the evening and bought a novel for me (Seventh Secret, Irwing Wallace). Not bad. :)

I was thinking that God forbid, if he had "set his eyes" on my Sheaffer pen, I would have been ruined !!!!! :p

24-04-2010 - Woke up, tried the internet, found that it was NOT WORKING !!!! No probs. Happens at times. Tried again. Not working. A bit worried. Well, their server may have been down, I thought.

I am sitting somewhere, tried again. Again not working. Now I was mad. I tried their number and came to know that my account had actually been DISCONNECTED for the non payment of the bill !!!!!

I shouted at them for not informing before disconnecting and came to know that the information with them was partly wrong (because of their inadvertence, of course) and partly not active !!!! :p

Anyway, I made the payment and now the account is working fine. :)

Phew !!!!

Pange Par Panga

Sorry guys, my absent is marked for yesterday, I know. But can't help it. Was just pissed off at that asshole auto wala who messed up with me.

Really, auto walas of Bangalore are so Kamina a lot that National Association of Kaminas has cancelled their membership to maintain their sanctity !!!! :-/

Anyway, there was a big scene and his mobile cover also broke in a near scuffle. Good thing was that he just went away. I had taken a precaution that I did all the talking with my acquaintances around.

Today again it could be one but I just avoided that. For a change, with a jeep wala !!! :p

Now a days pangas are following me just like the way satellites follow the US Prez. Cant help.

A Down Day

The snacks of yesterday really killed me and I had to take an off from office today. I was really wishing an off but not by being sick :( . But now I am a lot better.

Again office from tomorrow...Phew !!!

Moreover there was no light nearly entire day.

Outcome is that though it was an off day, it was a pain in the a@#. :p

Ram In The Grounds Of Tiger

Nothing philosophical guys. Ram (I am Aries) and Tiger (2010 is the year of golden tiger). Today was a good day for me, a happening which is like the arrival of Halley's Comet - once in 75 years :p.

Managed to pull off the office assignment well.

Moved outta office at 9 pm only to find that the snacks I had in the evening didn't go well with me. Damn, not feeling well right now.

Another assignment waiting to go up my a@# tomorrow.

Dreams

How better the life would have been folks if the dreams were to be a reality and wishes were to come true. Not all but, at least, the small ones, capable enough to keep the smile on the lips every time. But No!!!! Even the sweetest and the purest of the dreams have, rather than a truth, a reservoir of pain in them.

Just feeling low.

And why do the low moments always come when you have fucking office work to complete ?!? :-/

Really Nice Weekend

Blasts in Bangalore. TV was on nearly entire day but I came to know about the blasts from a friend who called up in ask if I were alright ... GEEZZZZ :p .

Attacks in Mumbai, I moved out and had drinks with my friends and got fired by Ma. Blasts in Bangalore, I again had a drink and moved even a step further ... Even watched a movie. If Ma comes to know, she will blast me off !!!!! But it was a really nice company I was with. Really enjoyed a lot.

Also, I bought a FERRARI !!!!!!!!!! You don't believe me, right? OK, not a car, just a deo. But it is, after all, a FERRARI, ain't it? And like other FERRARI "memorabilia", for this one also a fortune had to be shelled out, but worth it. And moreover, this was the only one in their stable I could afford right now or probably a perfume next month till I graduate to the REAL FERRARI ;-). Lets see.

Bosseria

New disease, in fact, highly communicable. Symptoms are when someone tries to bully you unnecessarily, gives u shit work just for the heck of giving. Commonly found in the associates of any firm.

High placed people in the firm also get afflicted by it ( as I said it is communicable ). My boss today gave me the work of which I know just a l'il for the weekend which means that my weekend is gone.

But the positive part, of course is that I will be getting something to learn, though at the cost of my holidays.

Lets see.

Daily Life

Same ol' life folks, nothing new. PG to office, office to PG. In office, trying to get some work from my boss. Hope it works positive in the end.

For my colleague though, today was a one of a kind day and, that too, in a screw up manner. Poor chap wanted to have some money from the ATM. We moved out for the cash. He tried out in his own bank but the ATM was not working and then in another ATM where, again, it didn't work. The boy was shocked to see in the end that in toto, 2ooo bucks were washed off his account as he entered the amount of Rs 1,000 every time in both the ATMs. Cash was not given but withdrawal shown.

We will be meeting the litigation partner tomorrow and will try to get things right. Lets see.

God Of Small Things

In Bangalore, right now, small things are such a pleasure as life is damn busy. On that parameter, today morning was terrific. I got the bus on time, I got the seat in the bus, it dropped me on time and today was relatively free as I didn't ask for work today and my boss didn't give me one today.

Only problem was of the rain. It rained quite well today. Because of that, there was and is no electricity and the battery is about to die out.

Mosquitoes need to talk to me.

Light Or No Light, That Is The Question !!!!

Indian government has different fundas altogether. Climate in which we need maximum electricity, we have maximum power cuts. It is same all over the country and Bangalore is no exception.

Lately, power cut is increasing everyday. Situations are worse in my office building because all windows are closed and our invertor is totally OFFICIAL in temperament !!!!!!!! This is justified by the fact that for the son of a b@#$h, the only thing that matters is that computers should be working....ACs, of course, dont work, fans dont work, even light in the bathroom does not work !!!!! :-/

U can imagine the way we have to use the loo !!!! They may be thinking of making us the SHARP SHOOTERS, but I have always been interested in using the Cheat Codes. I take my mobile in and use its light "effectively". :p

Day Of The Dragon

Bangalore's public conveyance seems to be having an enmity with me. When I move out comparatively later (which is, in any circumstance, one hour before the office time), the bus gets so late that other day it took 1 hr 45 mins for a journey which, in normal circumstances, does not take more than 30 mins !!!!

I have started moving even earlier so the bus dropped me at the spot at 8:50 in the morning..... :-/

Then there was a confusion with the boss over an issue.

Then there was a seminar in the evening of which I didnt get a thing for it was accountancy oriented.

BTW, I apologised to my boss for the confusion so that was kinda solved.

Phew ... Watching Quantum Of Solace right now.

Sunday Morning Saga

5:50 in the morning. Woke to the wild beating of the drums only to find that there was no electricity at the same. And what a beating that!!!! Sky was about to fall. But who was I to complain. These buggers were determined not to let even Almighty sleep in peace. Now that was some start of a Sunday. But could they deter me ??? No !!! Under protest, I slept till 10:00 AM.

Ok, there was a festival, I agree, but...??? Jane do.

This brought to mind a scene I saw in Banares which actually sent a chill down my spine.

Otherwise a regular sunday...Lazying around with a bit of office work here and there.

C ya..More to Come (MTC)

Starting Of A Blog

Hi everyone,

So, finally, I decided to start my blog. Well, no inspiration from Mr Bachchan or Mr Aamir Khan for that, :p.

I will be spilling beans, or let us say, pouring my heart out on my blog.
