Officespace

Well.....there is not much of the above in my office!!!!but then life seemed to be straight out of the movie for the first one month or so......Go to office.....ask the manager if there is any work(which obviously was getting erased from the dictionary bit by bit) and then browse endlessly until the network administrator decides that you've had too much fun!!!!and then it is time for the next quest......a website that sustains your interest for a week after which most probably it would fall into the eyes of the EVIL system administrators........We've been told that since the time we've joined the office is the closing of the previous financial we would be swatting flies and taking tea, coffee, fresh air, fag breaks each of which would have to be longer than the intermittent time spent within the office premises.....Well.....I think that the financial year is just one big April fool joke that is going to give us a fairly long hangover.......of intellectual stagnation........Nobody would mind it as long as they continue to be a cost to the company!!!!........And every project(it is a different matter that it is only two)that ive been assigned to has been postponed making me jump around like a jamboree jitterbug but just without the jamboree and the bug but lots of jitters......

And then came the d-day....."Pack your bags" says the manager......it sounded to me like the orders from the general preparing for war(overdose of movies and well lack of cerebral activity had redefined the reference framework of space and time)....Finally, it was the day the new kid on the block was looking forward to.....until when he is about to book the flight tickets when .....kabaam.....the general informs you will have to wait.....meanwhile......the kids senses numb even more by the time he is deported to some place where the Hotel's name was KaalaSagar!!!(or was it kalasagar) and all he could get to do was do some shopping in the auto ancillary and pharma industries surrounding him.....(soon there was to be a need for pharma products but thankfully did not have to buy in bulk from the nearby factories)......

Bombay Blues

It is not important whether you fall or not.It is important how fast you can rise back.And Mumbai has done it time and again.The bomb blasts in mumbai hit it where it would hurt the most - the railway system.But life is coming back to normal.And the human side of the supposedly "rudest city in india" is endearing to one and all.And a very strong message has been sent out by not declaring a holiday.Hats off to the mumbai spirit.Life continues to inspire.......

BACK AM I !!!!

Well......This is life v2.0 .And it has been a complete joyride.After a period of intense intellectual stagnation, life took a twist(errr) and i ended up with a few pimples on my face after the sleepless 3 weeks in a timewarp which left me shuttling between customer's office and a hotel room only....Parkinson's Law says "Work expands to fill time". After my first assignment, i strongly believe that even time can expand to finish work.I know I know.A bschool passout cribbing about meeting deadlines, it should be a thing that comes naturally to him......hey.....the exceptions prove the rule........Anyways.....coming to my job, in a nutshell, i have to observe the way a company functions and start finding fault with it.....and i get paid for complaining!!!!And when you feel that you have woken up on the wrong side of the bed, you can make these guys have a bad hair day......and in the process get paid for it.....having a senior helps as it shows your assertiveness.....Talk about having a cake and eating it too.....
