I AM ALIVE!

Every time I looked at the calendar I was happy, seeing the weekend coming closer. Two consecutive off days! There were so many things pending.

Though I was expecting my new work profile to be consuming, but I never thought it would be so overriding. In spite of all my efforts throughout the past fortnight, I failed to manage time to blog.

So, first thing I would do is to visit my favourite blogs and if possible post something, I decided. There were two tags from Jac and Aquamarine pending (almost for a month). I managed to sit and finished writing thems. But, thanks to many technical difficulties posting them remained to be a reality.

Here comes another weekend and with a little time to spare, trying to post them.

Here's the tag from Jac

Busy cracking formulas and theories of mathematics.

Five snacks you enjoy

Five songs to which you know all the lyrics

Five things you would do if you were a millionaire
Millionire! Wow. What can a self-concerned man like me usually do when he has money to spend? Fulfill all personal needs like buying gadgets that supposedly make life efficient, easire and comfortable.

Hey, its been a long time since I visited you. What does this "new work profile" refer to? A promotion or a job switch? :)
BTW, fun to know that you like both Sarabhai Vs. Sarabhai and Dil Kya Chahata Hai! :D

SAYONARA!

"Yuji San! Are you happy?" asks Frank. (San is the Japanese equivalent of Mr.). Yuji looks at the space in front in a meditative mood (as if he is trying to work out whether he is happy or not). Then he draws a typical big Japanese smile on his face that reflects extreme happiness and shake head heavily, "Yes, Yes"(the second yes to confirm the first yes). This would set all five of us into a roaring laughter. This was the second time I met with Frank. He is 67 and a manager of a European auto giant. He works till 2 O'clock in the night (!) and gets up at 6 in the morning. In spite of that I have never seen him dozing off on a ride as long as four hours. I also have never heard him raising his voice to express dissatisfaction. His silence was enough to set all of us into motion to correct what ever mistake made or occurred. However his voice shakes everything around when he is happy, when he laughs. Yuji is an engineer. As it happens with almost all Japanese, Yu...

I AM WATCHING YOU...

It's the talk of the office now. We are uneasy, working under the ever-inspecting eyes of the cameras installed at the corners of the office floors. Bloody intruders! “What they are trying to convey?" "Simply that you are under scanner. So you are to ensure that you are maintaining the decorum of the office." "But was that not the way things were going in the office before? I have never heard some one doing something unwarranted in the office space." "Why have you forgotten that walls elevators were converted to graffiti boards?" "Some one with a freaky mind must have done that but that does not mean that you will indict every one for that incident." "Why do not you just ignore them? If you are doing nothing that is questionable, why should you bother about those cameras? You will just get familiar to it in a few days." Logically it's true. Unless you are not wrong, you need not worry about the laws and restrictions. But ho...
