afroz...Creeping Death

busy Thursday

2009-01-08T12:48:00.000-08:00

Its another day... but the same Satyam News all over. its taking all the time. BEING A HOLIDAY FOR MARKET..only its only discussion all over, but action will be seen tomo. I started my day as lazy as possible with skipping GYM section, n whole day kept myself busy with work. I m waiting for tomo to market opening time.

The bravest man in world cricket and Satyam's Raju..wht a waste

2009-01-07T12:52:00.000-08:00

Hi... i don't know why i am not able to continue this blog everyday... while everyday is not special., but somehow it is special on some body's life. Yes for a change from this year i mean Jan 2nd onwards i have a joined a Gym, and somehow i m finding 30-40 mins from my morning sleep to spend there, but today i was not in mood to go there, yes of curse reason was there, i knew somehow this day going to be special.

After getting up the first thing i searched for my tv remote control. What a day. Australian's pride in the stake, they were not in mood to give up their number-1 status in test ranking.but South Africa own the bravest man in world cricket. when he walked out at no11 position he was looking to survive 8.2 overs. How can one person can walk down with a broken hand. BRAVE MAN.. i salute.
i came to know he was at stadium without cricketing gear and he borrowed, shirts, shoes everything from Kalli's, Harris.... I salute this brave man ..Graeme Smith..u r true a leader.

Coming to other news which took all my confidence is Satyam's disaster. Raju was poster boy for so long, role model coming from not a business family, but.. n he wrote." It was like riding a tiger, not knowing how to get off without being eaten."" but in first why u were riding a tiger.. This is a fundamental issue of trust and faith which has been shaken.This is a company which is not a fly by night small company, it is listed on a global exchange, global investor.. I will need courage to work in these Indian companies now.

Could there be more companies doing these kind of thing? What are the auditors doing? How will we ever know?
i guess next will be Indiabulls, Unitech, JAYPEE GROUP..

It was a bad day for Indian IT. I spend my max time watching tv, in 2nd half i reached office n to my surprise, i got a coffee jug as new year gift.

Lazy Saturday..

2009-01-03T09:49:00.000-08:00

Being my off.. getting late n doing nothing.. nahi today i started a new stuff in my life. i joined a gym.. the 1st reason of joining there is its downstair my home.. yes haan i went for a haircut too..

First working day-2009

2009-01-02T13:01:00.000-08:00

Today being 1st working day of the year2009, i felt little special.. but reaching office..it back to same stuff, same business, same long Hrs of work. If it would have been in my mind earlier that 2nd is Friday i would have taken another Holiday.. Got a call from my friend who is leaving for Bangalore to meet, but work commitment. I m having a exam this Sunday. cfa.. lets c how i m doing.. in short its a boring long dull day...

I started my day with a cup of tea from prakash n feeling my head out of my body.. was drunk to hell last nite..don't know why i chooses to drink that much.. may be to get out from bad memories of 2008... Its a memorable year for me.I met JL, was happy like never before, n same time had fight with her, n sad like never before..
THANK GOD MY JOB IS SAFE N SECURE.. Investment wise.. portfolio big red... I m thinking to invest further in coming months in some stocks i have picked..If i will start typing abt 2008, it gonna never end i suppose....I wish n pray god to keep them happy who lost job during this credit crunch.. now satyam is in news. hope all my friends there find their job secure.
Coming to new year.. i started my day at 3 pm by visiting Sai baba's temple with a friend. n doing nothing after that. I wished JL happy new year though a text n recived her wish too through a SMS. At Bhubaneswar everyone enjoyed heavy cooking of mom...chicken biryani.. n my 2 neiece going for movie n me staying away from home had to satisfy myself with south indian platter nearby. Let s hope 2009 going to be good n pray god it brings happiness to each one of us... Happy 2009... Cheers.

2008-11-28T18:01:00.000-08:00

Yeh after 4 months i reached again my hometown...but this time i m not reaching my home.reached sis home n slept... in even my friend picked me up... again back to meeting old friends n driving from bhubaneswar to cuttack... remembering old days.. no time to sit n talk.. toh all talking in car itself... yes with blender's pride...reached sathpathy's place around 10 pm.. the guy who getting married was looking dark after coming from a parlour.. i don't know what pack he used.. how come he can missed.. he enjoyed his last day of free life for 1-2 hrous with me.. driving n more drinking.. driving around river side n cuttack town.. eating different stuff...yep 1 hr was full of fun.. reached bhubaneswar around 1.. n yes again this time to my bro's house.. he was sleeping... i slept on drawing room watching news channels...this time i felt i m lonely here at my hometown.. i never felt like this...it was hard for me to sleep for 1 hr also..morning 5 am, and morning chai arrived, went for a morning round with bro..reaching home n updating this blog.. no serious mail from anyone...wanted to comeback to delhi soon..

mumbai....

2008-11-27T13:16:00.000-08:00

Another day where everyone is near to TV, newspapers n Internet.. very disturbing..Another medicore day for me... I m working till 3 am at office.. i m going home at 3 then will pack my bag n take cab to Airport. for Morn Flight. Will try to keep posting from home but not sure .
While i m leaving for home, i m still worried abt some stuff here.. Wanted to speak to JL, But that seems not a good idea. Happy break for me from work, delhi..

MUMBAI UNDER SEIGE

2008-11-26T15:29:00.000-08:00

Wed-- another Ordinary day with not much happening.. reaching office late and working till late hours...Morning time receiving call from Satpathy and telling me he has canceled his bachelor party as i am still here at Delhi. Don't know how i will convince him i m reaching on Friday morning. In evening getting call from sis, her job is almost final in state govt.

While working at office during late evening, someone informed me that Mumbai under siege..encounters on.. as many 100 people died. I Don't understand all this, why this keep happening and common people suffer from all this. I still remember Rupen Katyal.. i feel many people must not be remembering his name by now. He was a honeymooner who was killed during plane hijacking by Muslim terrorists. i cried when this news reached, he was shot dead by the hijackers. My heart still bleeds for that poor man, and his parents and widow. Nobody even cared to know what they are doing now. These Terrorists must be some one's son, brother. They must understand the Koran, and should understand no where its written killing innocent people is right.
Coming to my own problem, i am unable to do the normal stuff. I should find time n meet my friend but don't know when i can.World is strange.My sis wanted to do some shopping for her, but i don't have time or i m preoccupied..Lets pray tomorrow i have a normal day.

ndtv 20 years

2008-11-25T14:42:00.000-08:00

Tues- I m returning to this after 2 days.. yes i felt like missing something when not updating... i wanted but bad medicine forced me to sleep n sleep. With this i missed a lot of stuff, we should n't fall sick , it force us to change our routine. Wanted to watch Bond, but missed...

Yes 20 years before, NDTV started its journey, with Pranoy roy coming on World This week on DD. I remember watching that pgr regularly on Friday after joining Sainik school. it was like regular affair. And the year end special Pgr i never miss. Now they are into full channels but the same passion is there. For me, NDTV is synonymous with Dr.Roy and The World This Week. TWTW and election analysis were probably the only interesting features to look out on DD. I still remember barkha taking interview of capt. Batra during kargil war n next day he died. Jessica lal case, nitish katara case.. all good work. Great team even i love watching CNBC, but sometimes i find watching ndtv profit cool. Dr. Roy gives all credit to Radhika as she started this dream n first editor.Keep rocking ndtv. JL's first job was for NDTV.

I m not sure what i m gonna do tomorrow, not in mood to go to office, yes Friday morning i will be flying to bhubaneswar.

why am i afraid?

2008-11-21T15:26:00.000-08:00

What am I scared of? do i know her or do i just think i do. why am i afraid?\
is she as indifferent,..as arrogant.. then why am i still drawn towards her.

am i really important to her as well or that i am only felling that way only because i probably want to. Last time during Aug 15th was at home. she used to wait for me. why that.
what is that holding her back? why she is confused.
some questions are never answered,some answers are lost along the way.
and some deliberately unattended to.... i have to search something..who is in pune??? suspense game.

Another Thursday..

2008-11-20T15:35:00.000-08:00

Thu... Another average day with not much to write.. yes last nite it rained making the weather very pleasant n i slept long hours.. Reaching office and work starting with meeting with SDL. Yes i m not working much...nifty reaching 2500 mark again.. am i caring.. not much... i wish i shd do some research n start investing again catching some fallen stocks.. but its better not to step into sinking ship... but warren buffet.. his theory sell when everyone buys n n buy when every one sells. but it doesn't hold always true.
Coming back some news disturbed me while going through paper... young nokia engg. caked to death at gurgaon.. he dies after choking during a pastry binging dare with his colleagues. What is his age..22, wht a life wasted.
A former beauty queen of Meerut killing her parents...again may be disturbed childhood...Why parents are not taking care of their kids. U can't blame always on children. I have seen people coming from smaller cities to metros to work, n they give attention to some wrong doings. here i feel the importance of parents. They should give proper teaching to their kids, should keep in touch with their kids. Now days communication is so easy.. everywhere network, cell phone.
I m out from my home long time. but my parents always give me a call asking what i m doing before they go to sleep. Its not about phone call but communication.

While coming to end of the day.. received one piece of information on my mail which is vital but that gives me pain as well.. I m thinking of taking leave tomorrow and spending another lazy day doing nothing. Its true JL.. I m a vella insan. Yes my friend wants me to reach on 26th Nov at bhubaneswar to attend his bachelor party ... but i m reaching on 27th.. if i say so now, he gonna kill me... But i m sure when we sit we go back to our old days n we enjoy some special drinks.
Hope to meet a lot of guys from my school this time, it gonna unofficial OBA( Old Boys Associa.) of our school.Every year 2nd Sunday in December this official OBA happens n old students comes with thier family and enjoy whole day in school, lunch, play a game of cricket with current school team or basketball, dance, drink n go back.. I m sure i will attend Official OBA soon n meeting some school teachers.. and visiting my hostel..

m wondering if m really bzy or jst......!!!!

2008-11-19T15:15:00.000-08:00

No the title m wondering if m really bzy or jst......!!!!....its not mine. This is tag line of one of my friend in a social networking site. I m these days free like anything. doing some stupid work at work n at home sleeping like anything. But my friend says she is too busy in her work and i m the vella insan . i know i m a failure these days.
I m going to walk out there alone,taking guard and waiting for the next ball. all i need is my mind. to learn from my mistake. things i have to learn, things life has to teach me.

coming to day.. a normal day .... and to me if i m not doing something best, then the day is bad for me.. i suppose after long i will not be meeting my this month production target as i m very careful about quality. Our's annual appraisal cycle will start from December which means they will look for data from Nov to Nov.
My friend reached Bhubaneswar from dubai today for his marriage. spoke to him and It takes me to my memory line of Sainik School, and our house Gomati. Time do n't stop for anybody and this guy gonna start a new life in short time. During school time i m lucky to have that group with me satpathy bro's( two identical twins, and it took me 1 year to differentiate those two) , and Kustav,Sunil. kawnal.. i will write abt my school days..Sathpathy bros were junior to me. i will try to copy paste one testimonial written by satpathy abt me... i feel so great reading that, when i m sad i read that always..
Testimonial wriiten by satpathy for me-
To write a testimonial abt Afrozbhai is a huge task. I am reminded of one saying by the Great George Bernard Shaw "U have to meet the English Governess in order to discover why Britain is great". Thats the case. Few words cant describe him. Got to meet him n u will love him. I know him since school days. Even we shared same Daru bottle when we started drinking. Have got loads of memories. He was the GURU of our group in school. He is a friend, philosopher n guide to our entire friend circle till date. The ideal Munnabhai of our school who left lots of Circuits to miss him when he left school. I still miss those days n crave to goback to those days. I only wish i had a timemechine. I learnt to see dreams from him n still chaseing my dreams...He is a all season friend. u can go to him with probs n he will see u through. Only one thing to sum up abt him "Perfections are very hard to improve......"

Power of Internet

2008-11-18T14:57:00.000-08:00

Tuesday-i skipped writing blog on Monday.. This blog is like my tour dairy .... Getting up with the news that citi, hsbc, dunlop all cutting jobs as if there is no tomorrow. Thank god i m in a safe place, in between we are getting email from our CEO.. all okie... and in fact now again they started hiring again. Bad news investor are asking yahoo ceo to step down. What is his fault when yahoo can not compete with Google. While browsing news channel, there is one piece of news on NDTV... Obama has addressed abt reform at YOUTUBE... yes that's why i m choosing the power of Internet as title. I m thinking he has the right attitude and knows where to strike. But its too early to say anything.. let see how he leading us after Jan20 th..

In evening my cellphone kissed the floor from my hand in a force which forced its battery to come out and getting auto formatting, which means i m getting all contacts and my msgs gone. I will never use a pda again. it sucks big time. i m losing all the msgs of JL. i have taken backup for contacts in my home laptop, but that was long time. i dont know how many new numbers i will be unable to contact again....

Another Sunday

2008-11-16T22:59:00.000-08:00

Sunday.. I m writing this on Monday noon for sunday...sUNDAY...its another dull day.. as usual getting up with newspaper and a cup of chai and watching TV. In Even went for movie..Dostana with a friend.. yeah funny n time pass for once.. Popcorn n masala corn with Pepsi is better than movie...Returned to watch final of ICL then big boss and n slept before writing my blog.....

Saturday n my Judgement-II

2008-11-15T11:15:00.000-08:00

Saturday is one fav. among IT people..In fear of going to office on Saturday i worked late nite last nite at office and almost finished one assignment. Thank god these MNC have flexi timings...As usual day time i slept like as if there is no day...nothing great abt rest of the day except i got a hair cut and a new style again.haan i visited my fav place when i am alone and had my cup of tea. Night time sis calling n leting me know the phase is not good for me as per astro people.. I Laugh n thinking ki i m already on bad phase....
My Judgement...
1- I judge people who don't leave tips for waiters in restaurants,and/or think they have right to speak badly with them. I also judge waiters who don't serve with pleasant expressions. and are rude and still expects tips.
2-I judge people who thinks it's cool to not to watch movies. i have a relative who prides himself at the fact that he hasn't watched a single film in 10 years. really?? how cool is that??
3-I judge people who aren't aware of popular culture- films,books,television.....to not know what Woodstock was ,or what Kumar Gaurav's first film was, or how Hum Apke Hai Kaun changed the movie watching experience ,Who Pran Kumar Sharma is, What Amar Chitra Katha is all about or who Byomkesh Bakshi is...I just don't get any of this. Its all around us. All this stuff you have to try and find about, or read about or in any way try and get into. Its all popular culture.
My room mate is one kinda i feel like to kick him for this as he thinks working for a big MNC allow himself to skip all these, where as i like JL maximum as she knows almost all thing around us more than me.I feel in current affairs i m good, then jL is better.

The Conversation

2008-11-14T14:29:00.000-08:00

There are some people whom you can connect to instantly, who have known you over a protracted period of time. they have been source to your aspirations, what you wanted to become,what you have become and what you might become in future. its amazing how incredibly light and refreshing it feels to talk to those precious few. How relaxed you feel talking abt ups and down abt your life.
I have one person in that league, to whom i refer JL here in my blog. We had a falling apart due to an unfortunate misunderstandings and for some of my stupidity.and had not been in contact for a while. but this silence was proving too uncomfortable for me. I mean here was a person with whom i was best of friends just couple of months before,sharing lots of fun filled memories, but the past few days it was practically as if we didn't exist for each other any more. I belief that friends are greatest asset that one can have and one can do his utmost to keep hold these precious possessions.
I returned after a long a shift from work and was unable to do anything at home. I thought let me give a call to JL.. asking how she is doing in her professional life and if she gonna watch today's cricket match... But to my utter disbelieve the conversation was not pleasant. I never expected something and tht wht happened. I lost my head i suppose.. n it was really bad on my part.. Instead of doing some good, my call turned out to be a bad one turning me into a villian kinda situation. I don't know why i loose my cool so early and we both were ..as if small kids. it was so bad. The conversation which i wanted to be small n nice turned out to be long n ugly one.
But i m sure JL knows i don't want all these stuff... and i felt like kicking myself.. It was bad beginning to my day and i m sure how she must have felt coz of my stupidity. And i keep on doing the stupid works. god save me.
Bad beginning means.. i kept on thinking whole day... after reaching office i tried to keep myself busy with work but there also i couldn't find peace. on process one of my friend invited me for a trip to bharatpur which i declined coz of work n my mental status...I don't know how i will let Jl know how i m feeling at thsi point of time. i don't have anything except a big sorry.. GOD please give me strength to bring happiness among my people..

I Judge People-I

2008-11-13T15:45:00.000-08:00

Thu--- again same..any ordinary day... reached office late...spoke to few friends, at home.. did some work. Its little tough time at office... Starting a new work from tomorrow. Seems to be i can handle to new work.
From few days thinking to call JL.. but somehow was not able to gather my courage today also. Don't know how things must be going there.

Coming to general thing.. let me put one of my observation......
I judge people who doesn't reply to SMS and very proud of the fact that , they don't like text messages. What's there to like or not like about technology.. It makes life easier, its a excellent way to communicate and i also noticed you can know how the person 's mind from the way he types SMS. u can judge either person is witty or boring.. once i had a fight with my Ex-boss, he wanted people to call him up when they take casual leaves, but i prefer the text message. Its better way as other person choose his or her time to read n reply. i Have a friend to whom i always communicate with sms..
I feel this SMS thing is the best thing happened in last decade
But some people take advantages of sms thing. One of my fav. football player Christian Ronaldo... he took the easy way with help of this technology to dump his girl friend Via SMS.
This is coward thing. He may be a star but one should have courage to face and should end relationship after speaking face to face... People should understand other's feelings.

Every month i pay my NETWORK provider extra 79 bucks to change my sms plan to 20 paisa per SMS. cheers..

insomnia

2008-11-12T12:29:00.000-08:00

This is the best time to try to write a blog....midnight(1.30 am), insomnia,wasted day,another wasted day in the making..its a big of struggle for me anyways, but i m trying at least once more time...
' blog is for yourself'..why should i care if others read it or not, i just have to write it....

Anyways, it has not been a good day..in fact plain boring stuff. got some escalation work to do at work. n i am not good at those. n i have no energy left to learn old stuff which i studied and never used in our work. In our field we just learn easy way n make macros which makes our life easy doing all our work while we browse n check mails.

I really wish i could have a physically active lifestyle forever. could i find a profession which would seek manual labor.. Sitting in front of the laptop bothers me now, irritates me and i really wish i can find a out of this. looking at the screen for 10-12 hrs gives me pain, but this i choosed when i landed up with a job after college instead of doing MBA. During college time i used to be gang leader of my team, in fact i decides everything that time for my group. At what time to go to college, what class to attend, What time to go for our usual evening chai session to a famous tea stall in front a women college. Before our final year i took my group to TIME center for MBA preparation. Made them to go for MBA as that will take us long, inspired them, i still remember those days.. But i left them early n choosed to grab a job first. but i kept them motivating. n max of my team completed their MBA.
If i can change time, i will love to go back to past. coming out from a military school n i have this regret , i never went to study at a regular college( i mean general college where they teach plain graduation courses like BA, BSC, BCOM).. i landed up at a professional college, but we had our share of fun. Sometime we went for semester exams without knowing subject But to my luck i never got a back paper except one in my 1st semester. The paper was basic or digital electronics , n that was the paper which i studied n was not able to clear. I feel i was more active then, every one knew my kinetic Honda. among seniors n juniors also our batch was quite famous. It make me laugh now also when i remember our college fest which my team was instrumental in organizing in a star hotel and the sponsor amount which came to our pocket, and many memorable things linked to that. That famous singer she stopped singing at stage and finally i stopped the event... but that was my mistake as i took Silu's friends to dance on stage when she was singing...But all gave me respect and credit as made that event possible in short time.
My English is not good or i cant add masala else i would have written a book in line with Chetan bhagat 's Five point someone... yes me and my group scored around 70 percent always somehow and that is secret how we managed. so it would have been more than 7 point someone.

My group- though group was big i will give u 3 name at this point...Silu, Satya and Ohidi.
All have different characters, Silu small guy but kinda like my brother.. we had similar kinda passions, Satya most regular n little studious with big specs and his style of driving was fun. Ohidi the big, hunk looks, Yamaha bike but with no brain. At this point of time all we 4 are at different stage of our life. Last time i spoke to silu, he is with ICFAI, bhubaneswar after leaving reliance communication. Satya after doing MBA ,working with a bank, i m not sure, we both in same city but no time for each other. Last time he came to meet me 3 years back when i was sick and ohidi left his 1st job after finishing MBA. Last news abut him, confused n searching a job..He dared to date one of my friend and i never spoke to that friend again. enough for now.

perfect finish

2008-11-11T12:44:00.000-08:00

Tuesday--- i hate people who don't love their work and thinks its okie not to be passionate abt wht u spend life doing , its simple as at the end of the day u r getting paid for it... why i m telling this coz now i hate myself. Somehow i m not enjoying my work and its reflecting everywhere in my life.. one management rule which is imp is never mix personal life with professional. once u mix , u r screwed n i feel i m in tht position only. Al these i knew but somehow i m not moving. i m at same position where i hav been standing on Sept 24th.
Again very ordinary day n nothing great to write about.. Now days information is so cheap, U get information which u doesn't want to hear also. receives some info, which hurting me, but i cant help myself also, Same stuff office, work, rest other stuff. For first time in my life i m not enjoying what i enjoy most....
back to sports, yesterday i missed a "PERFECT FINISH". Yes its strange we will not see DADA anymore on cricket field. There can not be a better way to finish. We Indians used to visit abroad,play good cricket with skilled players, bring crowds to stadium, does everything tht is so good and loose the series and come back.
Then one era started under DADA, He made us believe we can beat them in their own country. He is royal, how can one forgot how he refused to carry drinks to field being 12th man.
n famous lords balcony giving fitting reply to Fredi.. Yes Andrew is now in India to play a series..
I still remember when he was dropped after greg's spat , the way he returned to team, in between that commercial add( Bhule toh nahi,)... Even his personal life also grace, the way he handled his marriage with Dona. i still feels he is GOD OF OFF- SIDE.

coming back to tennis, last ATP tournament of the year is going on at china. Yes Nadal is not around this time with knee problem n going to miss Davis cup final as well. I Love to watch Federer over Nadal where as JL simply loves Nadal. Here i shd put in a few words of honor for rafel nadal. it is often difficult for me to convince JL and other people that i m Federer's supporter and not Nadal's. I have given all the Nadal all the credit for all the matches he has won so far n even got up to clap when he thrassed Fererer in french open final 2008. Once JL Replied to my sms tht i will die if i will see the muscles of Nadal.. tht made me laugh like anything. I Want federer to back to number 1 soon.

2008-11-10T00:26:00.000-08:00

Sunday...after couple of days i missed updating this blog same day. sunday.. for all its a holiday n they do all kinda of their own work.. but to me... now days i hate reaching sunday.. again as usual i m getting up late.. and sunday 1st thing i do is grabbing delhi times with morning cup of tea. Yes Bejan Daruwala's zodiac column.. within no second i finished reading Libra n mine saggi.. both the sign i read number of times every sunday making me mentally prepared for coming week. I have this habit from my school days Reading Sunday's column. i knew its not true but i have this habit. i m gonna do tht if i m turning 80 also.
Watching little bit of cricket n wht a person i am, i m going back to sleep again on a sunday noon.
My friend wanted me to watch a play, but i m not remembering when last time i hav been to a play.. i m saying sorry. in fact was waiting for my school mate who is coming from dubai.
Taking a walk in even to my fav place, when i m alone n confused, i jus reach there, hav a cup of tea or coffee n try searching everything i m doing. i m finding very difficult in this phase of my life. i m really getting mad.
Start calling every one from home to friends. again bad news.. My friend at banaglore gonna loose job at GS. Who thought lehman bro, GS, ML will be in this position, in fact we all thought GS gonna sail through but they are cutting jobs .. I m sure my friend gonna find something best.
while my day was coming to end, was happy to find a call from a friend who is not well. toh i reached with medicine. at least at the end of the day i m doing something good.

3 drinks ahead..

2008-11-08T11:04:00.000-08:00

Saturday...There is nothing great to write abt me or abt the day..Getting up quite late..directly switching on the tv to see the progress of Australian cricket score..I cant do anything till i get my first cup of tea..newspaper...I m jus passing time. Some days before was so happy.I dont know where it all went wrong. I wish JL 'd get back being my best-est friend. lunch consist of Maggie n chai. In even i knew man-utd playing Arsenal..but dont know why i m not getting tht pleasure watching my fav team playing. or enthusiasm??
I still remember updating JL abt score during matches. it was so lively. went to orissa bhawan to meet mr. IAS half way the march, after coming checked online man-utd lost the match 2-1.
i m not calling home.something strange thing happening inside me.. n i m not helping myself. dinner consist of roti, dal n panner sabzi prepared by prakash. n i m back to my laptop.
is it the way to spend a day. I did nothing constructive. i m jus wasting my time.
Yes why the title is 3 drinks ahead... Was randomly surfing wen i came across a blog , n tht was eye catching. the blog is three drinks ahead.
this humphrey bogart quote " the world is three drinks behind". is quite famous and i love to read good quotes. once i asked JL if she like as well her reply was if someone use those quotes in right time, it is best. I still remember tht JL.
if every one in the world wld take 3 drinks , we wld hav no trouble.If stalin,truman and everybody else in the world had three drinks right now, we'd loosed up and wouldn't need the united nations.
coming to the blog. i keep on reading this blog. dont know much abt the person, yes she is from meerut n into media or films. god bless u.

Being Benched-V(Friday)

2008-11-07T13:38:00.000-08:00

Friday- Don't feel like going to office but have a few chores , missed the cab, late breakfast at home. watching Sourav batting in his last test, reaching office late noon in radio taxi. they charge like anything..

Chai break..Ask around if there is something I can do. I sometimes end up doing bits of coding or design- for credit, of course. It all reflects in my bonus. Sometimes I get some coding work or design work.. sometimes I don't... I make sure they give me credit and it adds up to my increment and bonus.
lunch with a mate in pantry watching cricket and market closing with mitali mukherjee. market closing green.
Play Age of Empires ( A computer game series made by Ensemble Studios) for a while.
Review some documents. work on a proposal.
even meetings, conference. call to home, n friend to Dubai. one is coming this Sunday, my friend wanted to send one perfume for JL. advised him she will be angry.he is sending me a fcuk tee with a teasing line... Wanna Happy..Sleep with me...(creepy..)
Make my friend to speak to his family.. friends here in india.. surprised to receive a call from upadhaya.. he was here at IIT,Delhi. now at Calcutta. During our school times. he was one all rounder.. studies, sports. n all other stuff.. spoke to him for long time.. How we bunk to watch cricket matches, getting up at 3 am morning to watch US open and Australian open in TV.
He used to give me tough fight in quiz competition as we both belongs to different houses.
