Unfortunate incident

It just happened around a week back and I came to know about it today. Incidentally there was a snake bite, which happened close to my house, (same road I feel) around 8pm in the night.

Not sure venomous or non venomous, but one thing's for sure. There s this new apparent threat while walking in the dark. And considering power cuts do tend to happen, I better keep both my eyes open.

November Rain

Not much blogging in the month of November.

Well...literally littered around for the whole month reading a single book - Straight from the Gut, by Jack and what I can say is, I cant remember or recollect so many facts / figures / dates / people / companies that the book churns out. Its been difficult to digest. Thats the truth.

Not sure which book I will read next.

Well... I always admire the group pravsworld for their amazing work. They just pep me up everytime, with their wonderful inspirational emails.

Got this one a day before. I kept on wondering whether to agree with this or not.

" People know you by what you do".. I just kept on thinking..

Let me interpret this from professional perspective (by means of work/job).

If I lose my job, how will people know me?

I do not know the answer.. I feel, if I lose my job and incapable to find another job, I think most people would distance away from me. The only 2 places where I would be welcomed would be :
1. House.
2. Gym.

I think @ these two places people know me not by what I do.. Yes. At gym, no one knows whats my profession is (apart from the trainer)...

By the way let me stop being so negative and inconclusive about job security.. Its not gonna take me anywhere after all... Apart from this nothing much to post about...

Cheers...

Arvind's wedding...

On Nov 10 , 2008, I had been to Arvind's wedding. The wedding was rocking.. Arvind s a lucky guy. Here 's wishing him all the best..

The wedding was the prime thing. But apart from that, I did meet a lot of my Wipro and Target friends. The list was huge. 20 odd guys with whom I had worked with, meeting them after 7 or 8 odd months was kind of a good feeling.

Rare are such occasions.. But I was lucky to spot one of them and cash in.. Let me post a pic of me over there, in the coming days..

Cheers..

I am a relieved man today..

I made a comeback @ the gym today, almost a month after I had left going to the gym owing to some stupid reasons. Due to the power cuts, now I have to time my entry and exit to the gym properly.

Whatever may be the case, I can say, a donkey (issue) is off my back.. [Weird way of putting it.]

Whats so special about today? Generally I do plan such comebacks esp on Saturday. I do owe a lot, to Lord Shani, so thought Saturday is the best day.

Ahhhh... B'day bash @ workplace

It happened so, I celebrated my 25 yrs of existence, sometime during last month end. Generally I used to keep a low profile about my birthday, if not my age, at almost all my workplaces (4 workplaces to be more precise).

But for the last 3 years not many people knew when's my birthday. But this time @ Honeywell, the lid just blew off. Yes. On my birthday, in fact my name was put up on the display board at the reception. So this had to happen. I ended up cutting a cake.

Yes, I did cut a cake today, 4 November, but more than cutting the cake and eating it, I enjoyed something more, which happened in one of our meeting rooms. I was not the only one about to cut the cake, but Devender also. But the occasion/session had a special twist.

Mr Aneesh, my team member came up with the idea of writing Happy Birthday on the glass board in one of the meeting rooms. Along with it he sketched my friend and me. Me with my trademark mustache and hairdo.

It did not stop there, from there on he went ahead to sketch different stuffs which were characteristic of that person. Finally every other person in the meeting room, started drawing caricatures on the board. And also added a baseline / punchline to each caricature..
[ Mine - the punchline read - " I want to go home ". Along with it there was another pic which depicted a bed. It had a punchline " Relaxation Room "].

Awesome, sometimes you may be at the recieving end of a comedy/ gimmick, but it indeed feels great. [To know what other people really think of you].

It was just the right dose of fun. I will surely put up few pics of it, once I go to the office tomorrow.

PS ::: Thank you guys, it indeed was, very very very special...
PPS:: Thanks god, for keeping me alive and kicking for 25 years, not sure how many b'days will i celebrate in future... (keeping my fingers crossed.)
