hungry and angry

Yeah its 4:20 and I am stuck here in the train.. huh ?.. arey Mumbai rains remember? … (in half an hour everything gets flooded) … left office at 2:55 to be precise .. yes Saturday afternoon – half day at office and I had lots of plans… I thought I’ll reach home by 4.. then eat and go out with friends.. may b a 6 o’clock show (I hate love stories – yeah although the reviews say that the movie sucks .. I’d still go.. cz the promos look nice) … OR may be I would get a comp for my client who is after me to get him a system…and I always turn him down cz I am busy working…. Today was a nice day to oblige him… Or if nothing else … I would take a nice nap till 7 and then watch the match …Argentina VS Germany!!!! but you see I am stuck here in the train, hoping to reach home in the first place..(leave aside enjoying the half day!!)

Some passengers traveling along with me in my compartment have already hopped out of the train and started walking along the tracks…seems like they’ll reach before me!! … but every time I think about following their footsteps this stupid train moves a little and then halts again crushing all my hopes!

I am bored!!!

I tried calling a few of my friends for time pass! But most of them are already happily sitting at home, have finished with their lunch and power nap and are enjoying sipping their tea at the moment!! … my ass was burning with jealousy so I disconnected the call :P called a few others who are stuck in the rains somewhere like me and felt better… on the other hand there are these bunch of people who are massaging – where have you reached? Had your lunch?? .. you know there is a high tide at 5….Sion station is totally flooded ! its on the news! … I went out for lunch you know :) ? .. do call me when you reach home!! - this does not make me feel any better .. infact it teases me more!!

Ufff!! Poor me! I had just 8 Parle G biscuits and a cup of milk for breakfast… :( I really hate the government for this! .. WTF! How can they let the trains and the commuters go for a toss like this every year??? Isn’t there a solution?? My pork is waiting for me at home and I am here sitting like a fool in this train totally hungry having no clue when this fucking train is going to move!

Speaking about the government… why the fuck is it declared Mumbai band on Monday?? Why are the taxi and auto drivers allowed to go on strike anytime out of the blue> taking the public for a long indefinite ride??? And if they go on strike why are their terms and conditions always accepted without strict action taken against them?? (which actually gives them the confidence to go on strike whenever they like without any fear) why does the common man have to suffer all the time because of the loose administration of our leaders? … every year there is a taxi, auto or BEST strike… every year there are floods in the monsoons (specially in the areas where the BMC boasts to have done a good job to take care of water logging and floods). ….

Its 4:44 and I have just moved 1 station ahead! …..

I cant write anymore… will plug in the earphones in my ears and listen to waka waka and dream about Shakira shaking everything she has .. :):)

PS:- I reached home at 6:15 (i.e: more than 3 hrs to reach marine lines from hiranandani ... i normally cover that distance in not more than 1 hr 15 mins)

Browserwala lafda!! :(

I have been blogging for quite some time now.. and have always done it using Mozila Firefox. Recently as I was going through my blog in office (where we use Internet Explorer) .. I've found out that my blogs dont appear the way I have written them in Firefox. This is not a miracle !! :).. its as normal thingy as different browsers have a list of different features and protocols... the only dissapointment is inspite of being in the IT field for many years Ive noticed this now :).. lol...

My recent posts - puppies show the first two pics together and the other two pics together fater a big gap in IE, where as i have posted all the four pics together with the same gap of space..

'On the ladies seat' which is another post of mine that has lots of smilies, reveal the repective HTML codes for every smilie.. :(.. (which is not the case in Firefox)...

Now the nightmare is i cant change/ correct either of them (i tried but ended up deleating the text and also messing the font up) nor i have the balls to inspect the other posts now as I am sure most of them will differ from the original (on firefox)...
So now the question is what to do now? ... :) ...
Answer: :) for now I request all my readers to use firefox ... lol .. untill i find a way to sort this yaar ;) ... dont worry, i surelly work something out :)..

please bear with me!! :)
:P

ofcourse if anyone of you has a solution to this plz let me know!!

puppies

HHmmm... As I was returning home from work today i came across these two little black puppies ... who looked really cute and very hungry (maybe i probably felt the latter cz I was hungry too ) ....

oh just realized my template matches ;)

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!
