new plans

Making plans to make plans for the new .But fear that the same story that repeat every year would happen all over again ...
Promise
Remember the promise till end of month one
Try to keep up till 45 days ...
lose badly in that endeavor
then ...
sulk a few more days ...
make a valiant effort to revive the effort...
And then lose again ..
BTW its lucky that there are so many days that can be considered as the first one..
1. New Year (Gregorian Calendar)
2. New Year ( Hindu Calendar)
3. Bday (some calendar ..even chinese)
So luckily enuf by the time the first round of disappointments settle in ...
the next day one comes up ..
So I get back to planning........

A Happy New Year and happy resolutions are on their way ... Brace yourself [;)]

Comic Sans

I donot what is wrong.
Either the whole worlds gone crazy or people just refuse to laugh at my serious attempts of improvised humour (ya ya thats the name I give to all those PJs)

Wanna cite two examples that took place in the last few days:

I work in an IT company and do expect people around me to atleast make an effort to understand this joke

Example 1
----------
The original joke was narrated by a Delhiite who thinks he is the dood :
Once a smart S/W engineer and his Project Manager were traveling towards
Ooty in a train. Just Opposite to their seat, a beautiful girl was
sitting along with her grand ma. With in some time, Eye-Eye interactions
started between Our S/W engineer & that girl. After some minutes, train
started moving in to a tunnel and it was very dark.

Suddenly, every body heard a Kiss sound followed by a sound of slapping.
Every body remained silent, when the train came out of the tunnel.

Grand ma thought that," The Guy is a rogue; how dare he is? He has
kissed my grand daughter! But my Grand daughter is genuine; she
immediately slapped that guy."

PM thought that,"I can't believe that this guy has kissed that girl! But
it is unfair that she slapped me by mistake"

That girl thought that,"I feel happy, when that guy kissed me, but I
feel sorry that my grand ma has slapped him".

Finally, do u know what our clever S/W engineer thought?

" This one minute in my life is wonderful, It hardly comes...because, at
a time I have kissed a girl and also I have slapped my PM."

So the other southie dude replied to all in Pure Rajnikanth style :
"
Definitely, that smart s/w engineer cannot be from Punjab/Delhi.
"
This one left a bad taste in my mouth but what was to follow was even worser.
The dood replied :
Yaa the smart engineer someone who is from Punjab/Delhi will not only slap the manager but also all the Mallus around

This is when I conked out and out of my pure frustration was born a pearl which was very unassuming and subtle :

I just replied

Example 2
----------
This one is short and sweet but requires minimal knowledge of Marathi
----
Ravan : Mai bhiksha de

Lady : ghya swami

Ravan : rekha olandun ikade ye (She crosses)

Ravan : HaHaHa mi Bhikshuk nahi !! Ravan aahe !!

Lady: Mi pan Seeta nahi, kamavali bai aahe!! Ha Ha Ha....
----

I thought it lacked a punch and sm1 replied saying this was an old one and wasnt funny anymore ..
So I decided to let them into another dimension of this humorus joke
And I replied
But did you know why the Kaam waali baai cross the line

.

.

.
.

.Because her name was Rekha


Dunno but both these gems left the people in the mailing list speechless and since then i have stopped recieving such comic (sic)sans PJs

The return to/from Moscow

Just trying to fill up for the long hiatus from this place..
Not much to report ..this one was a drab...Ghar se office office se ghar ..boss ka darr ..ghar ka dar...bass itne mein nikal gaya
Lets see and hope the next trip to wherever and whenever it is ...is more fruitful than this one

Moscow

1 month and not many places visited …leaves me with kind of guilt

The guilt of not having done justice to this gr8 city.

The next time I go I would want to do all of the following:

1. Visit the Red Square at night
2. Go around Moscow at night (God give me the strength and courage to do so)
3. Maybe get a few more gifts this time around to all appropriate people only.
4. Visit all museums with a proper person who can provide me a background to what I am seeing.
5. And try to search for vegetarian food in Moscow.

And take lots of pics of each of the places I visit. …Kinda do justice to my N73.

Maybe I do vvisit this place once again

If I don’t whoever does ……Just one word of caution ..The city is dangerous but not as dangerous as ppl make it sound

Why?

An old draft being posted

after 200 days of working .....I suddenly have a huge doubt .....what exactly am I supposed to do right ?
I have felt for the past 22 years that a 9 to 6 job is the easiest thing in the world ...All you got to do is to drag your sick ass down to the office at 9 and drag it back home at 6 . Atleast ma dad made it look easy ..You might bring work home sometimes but its a passing phase maybe a week or at max 2. Now when I am on the other side of the fence goin to school seems so damn easy ..You have fixed deadlines and if you don't meet them the max that may go wrong is that you affect your grades...maybe get a punishment..Here you have deadlines which shift faster that the quicksand and all the time you are in this hole full of shit ... Missing a deadline is as big a crime as wearing shoes to the temple..Nobody says a thing until you reach the sanctum sanctorum and then you are kicked out....Same is the case here ....when you are neck deep in quicksand they find you as a stepping stone to the other side ....the scapegoat ...

Maybe it is actually easy to do it but it depends on whether you got it all right in the first place...
You must know where to and where not to open your mouth????
