A Release, A Dilemma and A Question Mark - Part III ( The Transfer at last)

Its been 2 full weeks I am home back sitting and I just felt like blogging! I really cant remember how it used to be back in mysore. Mean of me!!! I sure wish Chennai had the climate of Mysore. I cant have the cake and eat it :( So 2weeks what do i do? I go to this office of mine and keep reading loads and loads of documents and try assimilating stuff beyond my comprehension and come home late and exhausted as never before. SIGH! but this is something anticipated.

Coming back to my transfer. After such struggle and plead I get the transfer without an order. Blindly with mind full of joy I packed in 2hours and I come to chennai. Such relief coming back home. I get to work more than I used to in Mysore. Meeting new people as usual and learning more stuff than what I did in the last one year. The power of SCRATCH project is that you work more than what is required. So the release I got was too good. The Dilemma still prevails - to CAT or not to CAT! Question mark here has changed from the Transfer to Stabilization of the project to be when?

Moral of the story - I need to be released from something every time I blog here; Life is always full of Question marks and of course some Dilemma. guess i will never be short of blogging stuff with just these 3 aspects!

Amen!

A Release, A Dilemma and A Question Mark - Part II ( The Bench Break!)

No Onsite calls. Not much of FC food. No deliverables. I am in "The Bench". I am still inside the Secured Zone blogging! Past 2 days have been wonderful to me.

How long is the question now?

Getting up by 7,
lazing for half an hour with my coffee in 1 hand and the BRM in the other until 9.30;
Cooking Brunch
bathing as long as I wish to
eating slowly, enjoying every bite of it,
Swiping in by 11.30,
skipping lunch and having a light snack @ 3
Orkuting and turning back to see if anyone is watching you
readoing so many blogs and deleting those stupid forwards after reading; prev it was before reading
starting chain mails with my deal gang sans 1 out cast
opening minimum 2 chat windows 1 in office n/w 1 in client n/w
reading "The Pillars of the Earth" page by page
catching up with PM/GTM for 10minutes bt waiting for half an hour to meet them
Lazing around friend's cubicle until 6 and blogging by EOD
Dinner ending with a juice
Swiping out @ 8
going back home happily and relaxing for half an hour or strech it
opening BRM fresh without any hassle
Dozing off by 11-12

Now this is what I call "The Bench Life".

My previous post was of total confusion and here I am clear kicking off with Scenario A.

P.S. 1 of my friends here @ office says my style of writing is like Chetan Bagat! Is it ?? :-/ A compliment or the opposite?

A Release, A Dilemma and A Question Mark - Part I

I was told on Monday afternoon that I am released from the Project. It was kind of a mixed emotions. I wanted a transfer to Chennai and I get a release. So all Monday I was happy that I got released and very very worried about the transfer.
The past history makes me shiver. A person who got married asked for a transfer to Chennai and could not get one. Result?? He quit the job.Now I have a health issue, will they consider me. I am less than 1 year old in this organisation. Will they consider me valuable enough to put me in chennai?I doubt it. I have now 4 scenarios.

Scenario A : Plead, beg for a transfer and manage to go to chennai. Then I will sure be in Bench and as per original plan prepare for CAT.

Scenario B : Stay back in bench here in mysore, prepare for CAT.

Scenario C : Wait till august, quit my job, sit at home and prepare for CAT.

Scenario D : Sit here work until next may or something and get married next year this time.

I hope I dont start of with Scenario A and end with Scenario D too sooon.

Now is the question, what am i doing here? Blogging because I am absolutely jobless and I have nothing else to do. What if I am pushed out of the embassy?I dont even get to blog. But I might end up attending all the ILI sessions for nothing. SIGH I am sure scared of the Bench... :-s

God Please do consider my long time request!

What SHIVAJI Means to me??

Friday night I was asked to go for the movie, I rejected it, Saturday night I did the same! Sunday Morning I get the tickets for a 1pm show... After a fast shopping at Commercial street I and my friend run for the movie @ Koramangala!!! I was s*** scared seeing the crowd there. All the Pettai rowdies were there to watch the big hyped movie "Shivaji". I in fact begged my friend to make a move and forget watching the movie. She had to drag me literally inside the theatre... We got seats in the A/C named but not even a fan switched on theatre. Heard of sweat in Bangalore? I was sweating while watching the movie. We missed like 2minutes of the movie...

The first song started, I forgot where I was and who were around me. The sweat, the crowd, my skipped lunch makin my stomach grumbling nothing mattered to me then. 3 hours I was shouting and screaming... Alas I then decided to learn to Whistle and now I am in the process... Reserving the whistle for "Dasavatharam"... back to Shivaji.... At one point of time I felt my roots very much. The single Tamil movie maded me feel proud because its a Tamil Movie which is hyped and fussed to be shown in the state! I am proud being a tamilian....

I know Kamal fans who cant sit and watch the movie and end up cribing about the movie. Always i found going to watch a movie without reading reviews has made me see the movie in a completly different perspective. Its not a TR movie to complain after all its Rajini's movie. Someone cant be hyped so much without anything in the Hype. Shankar is a good movie maker and Rajini is a good actor. When Kamal can act reality, Rajini can act beyond reality. We dont go to movies to watch reality always there needs to be out of reality stuff. If reality is very much expected in movies, then one can sit on the road side for 3hrs and very much enjoy it rather than wasting money on theatres and cinemas.

All said I love Rajini and his movies!!! He may not be a tamilain but watching a Tamil movie in Bengalooru was sure a "Kick" aka "High" ;)

Dumb, Worst and Silly Reasons and Excuses - Why Me?

What is it with people around me? Am I proving to be "The stupidest person they know?" People give me the worst lame excuse for anything be the matter.

• Today I was asking for my advance money back and what do I get? Yeah THE DUMB EXCUSE!
• Some few months back a close friend ditched me when asked why, I get the WORST and FUNNIEST Reason on this planet.(Oct 10th)
• I ask a friend why she is not in touch with me yet again SILLY reason.
• Another one here in office: I ask for transfer because I need one for the sake of my health, I get the SILLIEST of all excuse!!!
• One of the best : Roomie's friend giving excuse to keep watching the SOAPs. The friend relates her mom's family (of many daughters) struggling to get back the share from their dad and evil son driving the friend to watch SOAPs. (Metti Oli)

Not that I dont give any excuse but I am just wondering this question :

"Why Me???"

It is past 10.30pm and I am in office! I give a dumb excuse "Got work!" ;-)
