Bench is fun

It’s all at leisure,
Doing everything with pleasure,
No hurry to take the morning call,
No worry about the deadlines that make you fall.

Come to office at the time you please,
Play that match, or watch it at ease,
Read e-books, burst bubbles,
Play word games, throw out rubbles.

Freshen your mind,
Give it some peace,
Go for that run,
Everyone needs such a release.

Experiment on that dish,
Cook veggies or fry some fish,
Love what you do, even if you do just nothing,
Pamper yourself, for work isn’t everything.

Comb that hair; look at your face,
Try different ways of tying your shoe lace.
Watch movies; sing songs,
Life will just flow along..

Hang out in food courts with your fellow mates,
Visit the pantry at regular rates,
Have fun, enjoy the natural beauty,
You never know when you’ll have to be back on your duty!

Made my day!!

It was a normal working day.. a Monday! K Din want to come to office, din want to get ready, din want to take tht same road to office again, din want to work, hush! But had to! K Anyways, there was something more to add to this day. . We were expecting our onsite pm at our odc. Since we had had a very good time with him in our first project, we freshers were lil bit eager to meet him. But I did not remember this on Monday. His coming, going, talks, whatever had gone in the background. I entered the main gate, lots of employees rushing in, checking in themselves, and their baggage, I was one of them. Suddenly I hear a friendly call, shouting out my name. I look around to find this guest – my first pm, and wow, it was indeed a very pleasant surprise! J J It was nice.. awesome meeting! ;-)

Confirmed.. and now on..

I got my new year gift from my company. Confirmation letter:) Seems like a good start. Also, I’ll be getting paid a bit more. I can use it as travel allowance :P
"Wanna go home, wanna go home.." this attitude of mine is changing. Coz now-a-days, m experiencing a strong feeling of "Home is where the heart is" type. And work is attracting me now.
As a trend, almost everyone sends out a mail bidding farewell to all colleagues and friends while leaving the company. I got two such mails today – one from my dear friend, another from an acquaintance. First I read my friend’s mail. Most part of it was like a letter, a conversation - direct from the heart. The other mail was a complete copy paste, with extracts taken from older mails, clearly noticeable, making me feel so ***! What’s the point in doing something just because you have to!!! (But you know what… both the mails had one common sentence… the one describing our training days at mysore… with perfectly identical wordings. How can two people think so similar? Huh! Both have copied this from another common old mail :P )
Even I used to copy paste when there was redundant work. But after getting a good firing, for my own good, my attitude has changed. "Original" – this is on my mind now! And hopefully remains forever.
So, confirmed now! This means I can choose my ways towards redesigning my career, and m working on it. Happy! :)

Haunted by boredom.

I'm bored to the core.. donno from where it all came, but it's with me today.. ALL DAY!
GTH man, jus get out. But its not going. This morning, I woke up with a heavy head, did something for 2 mins, n went back to sleep. Then woke up again after a lil less than an hour, started getting ready to go to office. Everything moved slowly, I din progress a bit.
Kya yaar... pata nahi wts going on!
I'm not working the least bit. Got late to office, Talked to my best fren on the way, continued, n then reached finally reached my cubicle. Trying to read some scripts since morning, but in vain. Then I decided to pass some time until evening, put on my ear phones, n without my knowledge I started humming 'more than a friend'. My lead, n a colleague, sitting in the neighouring left n right cubes stood at once gesturing me to soften down. I was so embarressed..that too deeply! ummmmmmm! I jus pulled out my ear plugs, tried to hide my face. OMG!
*(&X(%X^Z** ........ dinno wt to do!
Jus then I got a ping for a team discussion. Right timing, we were all distracted from my topic.
Chalo, that was good enough to get me out of the embarressed mood.
btw: small boss jus peeped in, and he has told me the next time post, write 'My lead is handsome' and I won’t do tht :P

Funtoosh

I jus over heard big boss saying.. "at the detailed level, make the detail design as detailed as possible" LOL :D

Funtoosh

I jus over-heard my small boss call up my actual boss...saying "hi..." n the actual boss says... "hey...what is up?"
lol, I can't stop laughing :D

Finding some free time, is a must.

Okay.. Even with this huge amount of work
- daily onsite meetings, trying hard to understand what they are speaking about, then humming some a yes(most frequently) or a no(rarely)
- updates with team mates, my immediate boss(small boss), onsite head(better boss) , and how could I forget – apna local SPM(the actual boss, who, I usually forget – exists, and can have extreme impact on my grades/other benefits etc),
- colleagues, waiting impatiently for the daily coffee breaks, which have become compulsorily two per day,
- chatting, with my best friend/ sometimes friends, and sometimes a good long call ;-)
- a good long lunch break, n the exciting discussion on the menu when there is a food fest announced by the canteen committee :D and a further analysis on how it all looked and tasted,
- later in the afternoon, feeling drowsy, yet trying hard to understand what task I’ve got to do :
- n then re-discussing the already discussed stuff :) n trying to prepare some document :)
I’ve started ‘chit chatting’ with a neighbouring friend. This afternoon, post lunch, it went out of bounds – we were trying out ‘talking tom’, an application in her iphone. It recognizes your voice and repeats all that you say. And I was having a weirdly funny conversation. But it was fun! I had a wonderful time. And after some time, one colleague, sitting 2 cubicles away pings me asking, "What are you doing?".
I said, "Just having some fun"
"You are not supposed to do this. You are disturbing our Proj group"
"Well, sorry for that"
So, looks like, I’ve got lots of free time, isn’t it?

look at him

If you are NOT IN INFY, u gotta be in some neat n clean place ABROAD. Well, that’s the trend these days, I see. I say this because, their albums in picasa or elsewhere, unless it is a friend’s or relative’s wedding, contain pics taken at some nice, neat n clean location. I can only relate this to INFOSYS, because of the long hours I have to spend here. I see lush green lawns, beautifully architecture buildings, n people, sometimes lots, sometimes few, but nothing new! Well well well, there is one new person I happen to come across in lifts, at the coffee pantry - a lil often in the last few days. :) he’s smart, handsome, n his height is also appropriate ;-) and.. he roams alone! :) But he’s got a ring on his ring finger, right hand. Well, does that mean he’s already hooked up?

At the office

I’m in office; Supposed to be working. Servers are running damn slowly, making me also sleepy. Client website (having the same icons, which I have to open a million times because of our super slow connectivity links), times-of-india (for some out of office refreshment), igoogle page done with errors(to see weather reports, and to play hangman), and some random links are open in internet explorer. Office Communicator is open, with three conversation windows. These were started as soon as I had logged in. The server is still slow. But it’s running. Even m running into sleep mode.. hmm.. gudnite.. .. .. *PING* I’ve been assigned another task. *WAKE UP*, *WAKE UP*.. have some water.. the bottle’s empty, need to fill it now.. hush! :)

I don’t want to work as usual. So, first I come in late, act as if working, (work a bit to avoid feeling guilty), have coffee, tea, snacks, play, n rest, chat with friends, curse the servers, n those who play lazy, those who get the benefits of our hard work! **#&%$^#^#^%%^** huh! Forget them!
It is a Sunday! Enjoy! :)
