How the people in my shuttle got offended indirectly (or directly) by me

Today was one such day, when few of my shuttle (cab) mates got indirectly offended because of what I said to my friend over the telephone.

One of my friend works for a company which is a few kilometres from my workplace. He too travels to office by shuttle. Incidentally, at Silkboard junction, his shuttle came and stopped exactly behind my shuttle. He called to me just to confirm it was my shuttle which was standing in front of his.

As we were casually conversing, I asked him, if he was still in the same company. The last time I spoke to him, he had intended to shift to a different workplace.

On hearing this two other shuttle mates expressed their displeasure. They felt offended because they thought they had completed 7 years in the same organization. [ I never say its bad to complete 7 years in one organization, its good.. but not all five fingers are same ]

I had a hard time convincing them that one person's food is another person's poison. .But yeh.. in the end I could still feel they were offended..

Never mind, I cannot take back my words.. just have to be more careful in future.

Cheers,

Planning a trek the next weekend 7 July 2012

Hey there, found some time to write.. I am quite excited.. I am planning to register for a trek to Kodachadri the next weekend. Many people have told me against it, since it will be raining. But since I have lost the last 2-3 months working on weekends, I want to make full use of this opportunity.

And doing a monsoon trek would be a different thing in itself. I know path would be slippery and full of leeches.. but I would like to experience the same first hand..

As of now quite keen on joining.. I have started to do morning walks for the couple of days. .Walking should not come to me as a surprise package on the day of the trek.

Cheers,
