Just A Thought!

"Good Things Happen To Good People!!"

I have always been a staunch believer of this funda ! Recent events, over the past few months are shaking it !

Is it really true?

Just Books(5)

Finished reading " Its Not About the Bike - Lance Armstrong".

I would surely recommend the book, Its a good and fast read. Even though it dwells on what most would think a depressing subject. A man's fight against cancer. It is well written, fast pased and gives only so much gyan as is needed to put a point across. No endless text of medical terms and same time gives a glimspe into the exciting world of champion ship cycling.

Picked up ''Yes Prime Minister" - This one has been on my shelf forever now, Inspite of being such a big fan of "Yes Minister" I dont know why this one is still unread :o)

Dummies Guide To Road Crossing !

1) 6 of them Stand in a line holding hands. Giggle and chitt chat and look at each other and everyother place other than the road and the traffic, Wait for a lull in the traffic flow

2) Shout !.. Heeeey cooooome... let all hell break loose... 3 of them pull each other in all directions.and somehow reach the center of the road.

3) Look back at the rest and giggle a little more, wwwwhaat ya, why dint u come..Hey You let go of my hand I dint want to go !!!..All 6 shouting! no one listening. More giggling and finger pointing from the other end.

4) The other three who dint start the journey to the centre of the road, Kind of pissed. you are such a thing i tell u.. why did u leave my hand.. go ya !

5) Another lull in the traffic, 3 holding hands at the divider, 3 holding hands at the starting porint. Another bout of giggling and chaos... The 3 who could have crossed the full road and reached the other end, decide to undo the mistake and scoot right back to the starting point again. But as tragedy will have it, the other 3 who were scared to reach till the divider make it this time, So there you are ! exchange of positions. The 3 form the divider are back to starting point and the other 3 are at the divider

6) Uncontrolled gigglging fit.

7)finger pointing, giggling... a bit of swearing also i guess.

8) Now finally clear instructions from a leader of sorts ! Wait right there ok. We are coming. 3 from starting point, now reach the divider

9) The leaders command did not work, and the 3 cross over and do not wait at the divider

10) And....Finally the other 3 also scramble to the other side ; All 6 of them do a kind of Jig. Well Deserved of course, mission Impossible was accomplished was'nt it !

And in 10 easy steps ; A gang of school girls cross the road at Cunningham Road !

Amusing Conversations(2)

Main aur Meri Unnati Aksar Yeh Baatein Karte Hai.... :o)

When i went to my Bro's house the other day, She was not at home. She was down playing with other kids. She came home at about 7.45. Now i know that she has a deadline of 8 PM to get back in after the play session. Heres what happened.

Me: OH wow ! you came early today?
She: hmmm..
Me: You came early because i have come no? You came home to see me ?? !!! :o)
She: No..... Mommy has made Chicken so i came early !

So much for my high hopes !

Within 5 minutes, I gave her the customary Gems packet.

She: Thank you Chachu !
Me: What !!! You said Thank you ????? Very Good girl.
She: You should say welcome ! not good girl. You dont know anything.
Me: Ok Welcome Good girl :o) Good you finally learnt to say thank you !
She: Yes ! My teacher has told, if someone gives chocolate to you, you should say thank you.
Me: Oye Natak ! I have been teaching this to you for past 2 years, you could not listen to me eh ?
She: Are you my teacher? Why should i listen to what you say?

So Much for my high Hopes !

After a while, When me and bro were sipping beers, she came by and asked for a papad from my plate. I gave it to her, and....

Me: Oye ! you did not say thank you.
She: Why should i say thank you? This is not chocolate !
Me: You have a horrible Teacher !!!!!

What is it ? Am i Dumb or is she smart :o)

F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

I am an absolute self-confessed FRIENDS Fan. I wish there was a channel that aired just this 24*7 ! My remote will never be used :o)

I took this supposedly really tough FRIENDS quiz today and scored 8! not bad at all, when it said that the average score till date is 6. Do try it out and let me know that you scored less than me :0)

Heres the link : http://www.allthetests.com/quiz26/quiz/1244148778/Friends-Seasons-questions

And the below video is of my most favorite scene from FRIENDS. I can laugh at this one as many times as i see it.

Fresh @ Work

Everyone is a fresher sometime or the other in his/her career ; I do not clearly remeber my days, Sigh ! they were so long back !! But now in my current tenure i have had some interesting conversations with the freshers who either joined my team or i crossed paths with in some course of work ! Here goes.... Dont laugh ! they are not dumb people. They are the future of my company :)

Fresher( joined only about 2 weeks) : Sir, In the Leave system, It is not showing any data for me, we dont have Sick leaves ?
Me: Is it ? I am not sure, probably they havent updated the system yet for you, check with HR.
Fresher( Some time later in the day): Sir, i checked with them, they say it will be updated only next week.
Me: Great ! so problem solved ? Chill !
Fresher: Sir, What should i do if i have to fall sick on this friday ? Before they update the systems?
Me: I assume you want to take a leave on friday ; And to take a leave you dont have to actually fall sick everytime ok ?

[For the super intelligent people who read this, Sick/Casual leave are not differentiated in our leave policy]

Fresher: Santosh, you are a Manager right?
Me: I guess so ! you want to double check ?
Fresher: No, I just wanted to know what work you do.
Me: Ah ! Now that really makes me think
Fresher: Whenever you are on your seat, you have Outlook Or Excel or Powerpoint open on your laptop, Whenever you are not on your seat you are either talking to someone or on phone conference calls. Is this work ?
Me: Please dont go tell all this to my manager ok ? :-)
Fresher: When do you work?
Me: Oye ! this is my work yaar !
Fresher: Very simple no?

I am still wondering if he was genuinely asking out of curiosity and surprice or was being sarcastic !

I got sick of accepting awards without writing anyting ; So this post is to Thank Jyoti for all the awards given to an undeserving blogger :-)

Joke Hai !... Please say LOL :)


Heard this from someone today. Not sure if this true, but sounds quite possible !

This long strech of road in whitefield hosts a number of IT and ITES office campuses, SAP, Igate, Perot, TCS, and of course my own Tesco. So There is this guy who's friend had to go to Igate for some work, and got down from the Volvo in front of the SAP campus. He had no clue where the Igate office is so walked up the the SAP security guy for directions

Guy : Sir, Where is Igate?

Security : What ?

Guy: Igate, Where is Igate ?

Security : We have only A gate and B gate, There is no I gate !!!

Take It Easy....It Is Really Easy !

I have been away from my blog,and it shows! I was staring at the screen for a good 20 minutes to decide on the title for this post, and in hay days the title was the simplest part! I almost gave up and closed the window, but then settled for the same title for the post as i have for my blog. And it seemed fit to what this garbled post will contain.

To sum up the last 2 months. They were anything but easy, In fact they were the most difficult two months of my life. But as the dictum of my life, "This too shall Pass". It did pass, and thankfully for the better and in my favour.

So! That brings me back to all you good people with a promise to be regular ! Hopefully you dint shrug reading this :-)

Now to add some flavor to a bland post...

A corridor conversation in office..

Guy: Hey.. long time...
Me: Ya! been a while... All's well?
Guy: Yup ! how about you.
Me: Been Good ! How come on this floor today?
Guy: I have a meeting With Su in the room over there.
Me: Meeting with who?
Guy: Su Su ! Got a meeting with her.
Me: Ya: Arent you heading to a wrong room to meet Su su ??

And ! Back with a Bang :-)

PS: No i was not Pinkslipped.
