Dear Blog

Dear not-so-active-blog,


Long time huh?!

 

Well, I was busy switching jobs,winning beauty pageants,oversleeping in trains,buses and chennai share autos,devising algos for ant behavior and group formation and never ending kadalai(read as threats and drama queen acts) with dell,bluedart and photon plus customer care...

Oh! I turned 24!!,it seems big and every enkamma,appalamma and venkata rao asks me about marriage plans now.

Most of the friends are busy shedding off their single status and being competitive person that i am, I dint want to to be left behind in the race.So i went ahead and fell head over heels in love with java.

My 7 year love-hate relationship with chennai is going to end very shortly and I am not as happy as i thought i would be.I am going to miss the cosuins who are a decade younger to me,yet give me company for ogling at cute guy posters,the paati in bus who sings Jinta Ta Ta for her scene putting toddler grand son,the adyar- guindy share auto which has the latest magazines,newpapers and a mini DVD player which plays all cute FB videos,mornings in Besi beach,friends i made here, vetha kozhambu,walking down the LB road to murugan library and chips shop,jigarthanda at Murugan idli joint in besi,29C,23C ,49M,my aunt's food and last but not the least,my house in vananthurai.For the first time in life I am not very excited about MOVING ON...

I started my 4th F.R.I.E.N.D.S marathon and this time I actually noticed their jewelery and phoebe has got an awesome collection...my mother will be shocked if she hears this...not because i missed them the last three times,because I am noticing jewelery finally...

I bought hitchhikers guide galaxy on flipkart and read it while traveling to office everyday in 29 C.there were days when i giggled so much in the bus and attracted the attention of maamis around.However I made mistake watching Eclipse and newmoon at a stretch after that and ended up dreaming about Edward cullen in a spaceship irritating the shit out of everyone..I hate that guy..i'ld prefer cedrick driggory any day...but my 15 year old cousins thinks he is not as manly as edward cullen..ugh kids these days!

ummm hmmm...now that we are done catching up,I ll go enjoy the drizzle on office terrace.

Sincerely,
I have loads to write,but not sure where to start.

P.S:if you are in mood for little punctuation exercise,Please go ahead ,edit the post and drop me a mail :P

Work and ThermoD

Curious Brain : wonder y it takes such a STRONG will to "get to work" ...and absolutely NOTHING to "get away" from it!! :O

Funny Face : getting away from work is a spontaneous and entropy increasing process,so it doesnt require any ext force! ,whereas working n using brain is a non-spontaneous and entropy reducing....so u need a strong force for this process to kickstart n go on..

Curious Brain : :bow

Of emotions

Its strange how two opposite emotions dont cancel out each other and how they happily co-exist only to drive you crazy. :|

And I thought I can relate everything in life to Laws of science -:|

Askers n Guessers

Some people ask for what they want even if they think the answer might be no and other people don't ask for anything unless they know the answer will be yes. 


The first category are the Askers and later category are the Guessers!


How I wish our customers are guessers,Managers are askers when it comes to the customers and guessers when it comes to us.
How I wish I am an asker.
How I wish I can say NO to all the askers in the world without feeling guilty about it *sigh* *sigh*


P.S : I know all I do  these days is Whine and Dine .....Though the former didnt change any dimension of my life,the later did help me grow in XY plane with change in 4th dimension. I am not so stuck after all *wink*
Note to self:Weekend work is hazardous to health..Health of my blog readers by the way

Ladies Specialists

I saw a sign board in a very busy shop in T.Nagar saying

"Ladies Specialists

Delivery  in 2 hours"

I just couldn't make out why they would have such a thing in a textile shop.So I thought I should ask the aunt of mine for she has been around in this place for  a decade and a half  and a regular loyal visitor of this shop(and also age,wisdom,grey cells blah like that).

Me(to aunt,showing the signboard): Why do they have a maternity ward here and how come they sound so  confident about the 2 hour thing? Isnt there a lot of uncertainty involved there to come up with exact figures?

Aunt(Cursing Inheritance,eugenetics, and genetic defects**):You might want to stop looking at the board and see whats right below it !

On looking down,I saw a bunch of tailors working with jet speed to DELIVER dresses on time :-|

** This is an excuse i give to my aunt when I end up in such situations.I know my ancestors must be cursing me from their graves for this

Me,Mr.Bean and Dr.Albert Einstein

I think I  have a Mr.Bean's gene which gets turned on at very inappropriate times and when that happens I out do inspector clouseau from Pink panther in making a laughing stock of myself.

Today is one of those days on which people around me were destined to laugh their heads off and I was the chosen one by GOD to fulfill this for I have the so called very very special Mr.Bean gene.

So when I went around asking for SE charger ,a colleague asked me take it from her desk.I saw the charger plugged in with the switch on and I remembered one of those lessons granny taught me as a kid,"Dont ever pull off the plug and when switch is ON".Being the obedient grand daughter I am,I turned off switch and took the charger to my desk.

Five minutes later I have the colleague screaming on voip, 'Dude!Why did you turn off my system?! I dint save anything! Do you know how to restore data from notepad?'.


The other day I saw a switchboard in office with only one switch , in a very  humanly noticeable place and accessible place(which implies nothing disastrous could happen even if people like me start fidgeting with it) .Being the curious brain  that I am ,I wanted to know what the switch was for.But I dint want to look like a fool asking such silly questions to colleagues(Office decorum and all u c :P) .So I decided to turn it off and see the changes in time-space continuum and come up with an answer myself.I turned it off and the only difference and disturbance in the space  is the propagating sound waves(read as swear words) originating from a colleague behind me.

Apparently its him the Mr.Bean in me decided to take revenge on.Yes I switched off his system when he was in middle of fixing some critical issue :-|

I wouldn't be surprised if the HR passes a circular saying "Beware of people who go around turning off systems without any prior notice.Please bear with us till we have these people psychoanalyzed.Inconvenience highly  regretted "

By the way I also have an Einstein gene which has been dormant ever since I started breathing!

Speaking of  DORMANT genes,I also have a set of neurons which have been dormant for the last six years.I dont think they are ever going to get fired.I probably need a neuron transplantation (dont know if that can be done though) .

P.S:Went to IPL yesterday.It was like a test match,But I enjoyed irritating the friends by supporting the team they were against.And the fun part was the team I supported won
I tried very hard to not to act cool in this post .
Cool btw is being sarcastic and geeky :P(People who dint know this ,Please go out more  and update yourself  with latest trends*wink*)
