tricky Questions !!

I am back with another Questionnaire to torture my poor handful readers!!
... my friend MD it seems was toying around with the best search engine in the world (google) and as always he came out with something hopeless (this Questionnaire) ... moreover like the best thing he could ever do in his entire life.. he forwarded this to 20 of his friends including me.
Now since I am really running short of ideas to blog, I've decided to oblige him by answering this one here!! ... and ofcourse as always I TAG - Julie and Runcil.

1. If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?

Because Lust is not!!

2. When cheese gets its picture taken, what does it say?

Who cares!!

3. Why isn’t the number 11 pronounced onety one?

That sounds sad!!

4. If it’s true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the others here for?

(Sadly) To tell us what are we here for!

5. If man evolved from monkeys and apes, why do we still have monkeys and apes?

Because some still love having sex on trees!

6. If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done?

You’ve basically screwed up!

7. At a movie theater which arm rest is yours?

The one in between you and your girlfriend (or any hot chick for that matter)

8. If the FBI breaks your door down do they have to pay for it?

No. But if you ask them, they’ll make u ‘pay’ for it!

9. If pro and con are opposites, wouldn't the opposite of progress be congress?

It is … lol

10. Why is "bra" singular and "panties" plural?

To make her feel she’s wearing a little more.

5 Reasons I feel ‘wanted’ at work:-

1. When my boss especially thanks me for coming to work, giving me a big wide original smile (in his mind:- “the time difference between your actual time of duty and your actual time of arrival is increasing daily… thank god you atleast bother to show us your face everyday! I feel honored”)

2. When the people at my workplace show how much they miss me by pleading me to attend to their IT issues even after my shift gets over (they say:- “please please W!((!@M … fix this problem of ours and go…we know that only you can solve it..cz no one else will understand how you ruined it”)

3. When a hot nurse comes inside my department and thanks me in front of my boss for fixing her laptop (leaving his ass burning with jealousy. Yeah the fire down there is enough to launch him like a satellite to revolve in any of the earth’s orbits)

4. When my team, including my team leader allow me to make the shift schedules for the week (they think:- “our lives are screwed anyways, you making the shift schedules wont change anything… atleast you’ll come on time when you make your own schedule!!”)

5. When I get numerous concerned calls if I bunk office (they say:- “sale bol ke cutti le, office tere baap ka nahi hai.. paisa cut hoga!!” )

Anniversary

It has been exactly one year and 5 days since I started writing here and trust me I feel so proud to highlight the fact that I have been happily torturing my readers for more than a year now ..

When I first started [17th Jan 09] I had no clue or hope that I’ll manage to carry on for like a year.. i never believed that I can write.. i still dont... infact when I created this page, I was in two minds – a part of my head telling me that I should just delete this page and save myself from the embarrassment that ill have to face, when people see how miserably I write.. hehe but I think everyone who read my blog [some of them I had to force.. cz they were scared like hell just by hearing that I write blogs ] were kind enough to encourage me to write more…

I am grateful to everyone who read my blog during this one year… especially my followers hehe.. big thanx to Julie and Runcil.. they have always been kind and encouraging with whatever I write and have always come up with the best compliments possible .. then there are few others who follow this page secretly and give their feedback through mails or messages .. and let me just add .. the feedback from these kind of people are not always kind.. but I still like all of them and appreciate their views

During this one year I wrote 49 posts [50 actually – I deleted 1 few months ago cz of sum reaason] and I really feel great when I look at all of them] …

In all I did 8 questionnaires!!!! Wow! Although its hard to believe but seems like I’ve reveled lots about me …I really enjoyed answering few of em questions sarcastically …

It was a good feeling, trying to write down the 2 poems… I was serious very conscious while posting them, didn’t know what kinda reaction ill get…

but most of all I enjoyed writing down the 5-6 stories… I donno why but I simply love writing those twist-in-the-tail kinda things… it just gets the best out of me… I enjoy every bit of it!

Overall this journey so far and experience has been wonderful …a big thank you to everyone who read me again.. I really feel blessed when u people make some time, read my blog and give your valuable feedback… it’s very encouraging and makes my blog feel wanted and read! Recently I’ve been working and not been able to post very often but I hope to do a few posts before this month ends..

10:29 am (in office)

I’ve been spending all my time at work since a week now, and am really missing this page! .. for those of you who don’t know (didn’t receive my overjoyed msg) I managed to seize a place in one of the best IT companies I know- CMS. I work at their Godrej site at vikhroli.

Its fun, an excellent learning experience and really amazing to start with a company like CMS right away!!

The Godrej compound here is very large; it consists of several companies including TCS and Accenture. However we (CMS) provide our IT services only to Godrej.

Now Godrej has many buildings here all across the compound, its like small departments spread all over the compound – we (CMS employees) refer to them as ‘plants’ … lol yeah they are our plants. :-) In the beginning of the day- at reporting time- each of us [engineers] are assigned a plant and that’s our plant for the day. (I’ve been amongst the lucky few to get the same plant right from when I joined.) We go to our respective plants mostly along with a senior engineer, and start solving the user’s hardware/networking quarries. Some times we just sit in the AC and wait for a problem to occur, may be wait for a user to complain that his/her system is angry and has started disobeying orders!

Life is not easy here … we come across weird PC problems… but the people here are very nice, mostly IT freaks! I used to think I was the ‘only lonely’ one… but after coming here my soul is at peace, I realize there are lots of mad people like me living around me!!

Slowly I am liking it here – this office atmosphere was alien to me, everyone here talks Ubuntu, internet, network, users and user profiles, backup-restore, emails, wi-fi, etc …

Putting myself in this mode was quite a task, for someone like me who is always awake till 2 in the morning- getting up at 6:45, getting ready within an hour and catching a 8:00 train from CST was as equal to impossible… the starting 2 nights I didn’t sleep only, afraid that I might not wake up on time… but now the story is different, my schedule has changed 360°, I sleep by 11:30 - 12:00, have started skipping TV and long hours on the net- yahoo chats and random nonsense posts I used to do in boredom –

Oh have I started cribbing already? Lol … we’ll am not, just showing off ::winks::

Today I was free most of the day so I decided to pen this post down … its not a very bright idea to write in office.. people keep pepping into your book trying to figure out what network configuration your writing … but I so wanted to blog … I wish I get more free time to complete my incomplete posts! .. Couple of them are incomplete since October.

Moral of the story: working is fun… but tiring!

New template!

I was constantly hunting for a new cool blog template… not that I didn’t like my old one…its just that I wanted give my blog a different and yet a very stylish look…something that would send new, good, positive vibes to me and my readers.
I guess I’ve finally found one, this template has everything I was looking for, it allows me to customize my widgets and keep as many as I want; moreover it gives all of them a unique look.
Besides letting me retain my old sidebar with a different look, the template has a lot more to offer.

*Search: it’s placed right on the top and any of my posts can be searched by their name (although the –home, about & archives don’t work)
*The diary look of the post section gives it an interestingly realistic feel (that’s one of the main reasons why I selected it), Every time I see it I feel like writing something in it.
*My sidebar is divided into 3 parts each having every different and yet related themes. When any widget is added in any of the parts, it inherits the theme of that particular part!

-‘Recent post’ is the 1st part on my side bar, dressed in yellow and attached to the diary with a U clip, it lists the recent 15 posts
-‘Categories’ makes the middle section of my sidebar and is the second part, that is nailed on the diary by a paper pin, it has a background of a grey paper and looks really classy…it arranges all my posts on the basis of the label tagged on them! recent comments and the followers widget placed in that section of the sidebar inherit its properties.
-The 3rd part is a black and white section, the bottom part of the sidebar… its called ‘Friends and Links’ which carries the about me and my blog list widget! it has a scribbled look (this part appears nicely in IE)


Overall I am kinda satisfied with this template… hope you’ll like it too :-)

..on a rainy day...

When the dark clouds cover the earth

When the rain pours down with thunder

When the aroma of clay fills the air

When the chill breeze beings to wonder

When students get offs from their ABC

and the others cant stop cursing the BMC

When the rails and the roads go for a toss

When news becomes more important than big boss

When couples flood Bandstand and Marine Drive

While others come to take a glimpse of the high tide

Some feast on their corn, some feast their eyes on each other

Some prefer bhajias and chai, some just a chat together

When rainbows and singing birds light up the dull day

When bright colorful umbrellas highlight the way

When the weather turns so pleasant …so lovely

I lie flat in my bed .....I yawn ...I feel so sleepy
