journeys could be intersting .........

Train journeys aren’t as boring as I thought it would be ,….. realized that they can be interesting too .. I had a different experience this time when I traveled … When I boarded the train I thought that it would be a boring 14 hour journey all alone !! L so I had equipped myself with a magazine and a book to help me pass my time … I sat on my seat and checked my co passengers … mine was the side berth .. I saw that the compartment was already occupied by ppl … on elderly couple… a middle aged couple with their 8-9 year old son and then a bachelor in late 30s …. Ok was a bit relieved that I had some families traveling in my compartment and not a bunch of idiotic nuisance people !! I settle down with a book and a pack of chips within 15 min after the train started moving … I could hear some talks like “what time do u sleep?” …” will it stop at ..station “ etc among my co passengers …. Then that bachelor guy (BG) asked me “madam is that book that interesting ? “ Me: Not really BG: But

Bomb scare

New place new exp … new incidents … Here is one which happened last night ……….. My roomie in the hostel is a trainee …so she studies late night and sometimes all night so … I generally ask her to take the keys with her when I sleep so that I don’t have to get up when she comes …I was sleeping last night.. and then in the middle of the night I heard the bell ring I was like “she will get in“ and slept off .. matte ring … I woke up by then third ring … grrrrrrrrrrr … I switched on the light n went to open the door expecting my roomie to be there and opened the door …I see 2 security guards standing … I was surprised … here is the conv between me and them … Security: madam aapka koi bag kho gaya hai kya Me : nahi … Security : koi purse ya kuch Me : nahi bhai sab theek hai Security: yeh room 433 hi hai na Me: (grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr) haaaaaaaaaaaan Security : tho fir yeh (showing me a piece of paper ) kaun hai ? Me: achcha who yahin rehti hai ... that’s the second person in the r

hmm ... ways of people !!

Here is one more interesting incident which happened on Sunday. This just shows what all kinds of people will be there: We plan to visit some historic places on Sunday …we decide that we have lunch and then leave for the fort … we order meals … meals include … soup papad ..sweet and then the thali …soup arrives … we start having ..paapad also arrives …both are damn hungry so we start having … fast fast ,,… by the time we are mid way thru my team mate gets a call and all I hear from the conv is “hey don’t worry “ …”we will take care” …”give me her number”… “ no problem” ,..then phone cut ..then I get to know that one of our team mates sis has got bitten by a dog and then she is feeling dizzy and so our team mate wanted us to go n take her to the doc … we left the lunch half way thru … my team mate is all the more tensed and then we call that sis and ask her for address … take an auto to the address she mentioned which happened to be wrong ..she gave the name of the area and a hotel as a

Silence Kills ..................... :(

Always wonder …whats the worst treatment one can receive when one is at a wrong end ….. Ya … I got it ….Be silent !!!! That’s the worst treatment …just don’t tell anything … keep silent …. And the silence creates and uneasiness ..Man that uneasiness is killing … U ask the person … whats wrong …reply u get is “ nothing’s wrong !” “ Then why are you silent ? “ …. “ just like that !! “ …. Now the silence leaves you wonder what could be wrong !! whats happened ?? and whats behind the person’s silence … You think 100s of things what could have happened … or what could have triggered the silence … N here you go suddenly u realise that something what you told would have hurt the person !! now that words spoken cant be taken back u tend to ask is it whats hurt the other person …. Noooooo just no response …. You really donno what to do …. You are scraed to tell anything to that person coz that person might get offended again !! now what do u do … u also go into a semi silent mode …. And her

Being Professional...............

Hmm …. How feasible it it to be a professional at work …. ?? Do we really want something like that where it is “ no strings attached “ !!! May be I have never faced such a situation !! where people just do their work and ask u for the status of your work and leave ….may b it’s the way they work … cant really blame …may be they don’t want to bring personal things at work ! quite possible … but even if they are the people u know ??? don’t you feel that you should ask if they want some help when you know that they are in trouble ?? or is it that you should just be inconsiderate and go ahead and load them with more work ??? May be if we put ourselves in their shoes we would know better … may b all they are concerned is what needs to be done …. Uffff…...whatever that’s now I really cant comment …forget it ….. But …would have like if it was a bit informal in some situations and people cared for their colleagues too !!

On a Dark …Silent night ….

It was dark … it was silent …. And it was scary ….. It was The NIGHT !!! With only the faint rays of the street light trying to rush into the room with from the small space left uncovered by the window … Whole world trying to sleep … or rather gone off to sleep …. Coming back after having a tough day at work …. 2 friends decide to have a quick dinner and sleep ….. They prepare a single course dinner and have it with the highest speed possible and slip into their beds … the moment they hit the bed they are asleep … Suddenly after couple of hours of sleep one of then wakes up hearing the knock at the door … now knowing what to do wakes up the friend … both of them … now thinking that the owner would have come to collect the rent… murmuring to themselves scolding the owner.. have a look at the time … GOSH its 1 a.m …now they know for sure its not the owner … For the first time they ran out of ideas and the knock gets worse …. At that moment …1000s of thoughts rush into their bra

Meet up for Coffee

Image
Coffee ...the word itself gives a refreshing feeling ... probably all coffee lovers feel the same !! I do agree with the Coffee Day quote ... "lots of things can happen over a coffee" .... When we say "Lets meet up for coffee" or "lets talk it over at coffee" it just means that lets have a nice chat when we meet up ... generally an invitation for coffee indiates we want to have a good chat with the other person ....when 2 friends sit over coffee they can go on and on with non stop talks about the happenings in their life ... meeting up for Coffee could be for apologising for something ..solving some problem ... or just some general gupshups ... share some happy moments ... or sometimes just sit silent and feel each others company !! isnt it amazing when u think how things can change by meeting over coffee? may b some misunderstandings will b cleared or may be some bonds get strengthened ... some problems soved .. ur feelings get revealed ... hmm ... etc et

Be Urself !!

Someone imitating the other … or may b some one trying to talk like someone ..behave like someone … or fake that they like something when they actually hate that !!Why do people try to ape other people ? or why do they try to fake? Is it so difficult to be one self ?? I don’t think so … its kind of easy ..but only thing is we cant please others if we go in our own way…but then when we ourselves are not happy then whats the need to keep someone happy if that person is some third person ??? Are we happy when we aren’t ourselves?? Probably if we look at the momentary happiness then may b we would be happy but then … long term I don’t think so… Or…. may b if the person concerned is someone very dear to us then its ok faking to keep that person happy … again a nother concern is if the person is dear to us and soo close to us then that person would never expect us to fake … isn’t it ?? Then why do we fake ourselves ? Some of the reasons which I thought of for faking ourselves are: just to sh

Donno y ....

Donno y .. this is one thing which is the reply to many of the questions asked ... guess i use it a lot ... like "donno y but feeling down".."donno y but it isnt working" ..."donno y she didnt like it ".."donno y they dont understand" etc etc ... But i always keep wondering is it really that i donno the reason for it or i just cant get them to my mind !! in fact i just cant get the reason for why my mood changes ... why i remain silent ..or why i feel good ... so i just say donno y but this is what i feel ... y is that sometimes without hving any reason u feel good? n same way without hving any reason u feel bad?? i keep scratching my head to find reply but in vain ... guess something running at the back of mind makes this happen might not be something related to present situation!! but y is that i dont get the reason when i think of it ??

Small pleasures in life !!

Its the small small things which we enjoy the max ...and these things cannot be bought with money ...... feels so good when u think back about them ... some of the things that give me a tickle whenever i think of them: preparing tea or coffee at 2 a.m during exam study holidays (that too black coffe and black tea most of the times )...take the tea and go to the terrace wth a friend just with an intension to freshen up so that we can sit and study the rest of the night ...and then end up talking till 5 a.m about all the things under sun ... then last mein late realisation that neither did we sleep nor did we study !! get a hand written letter from a friend !! get wet in the rain and on top of that to avoid catching cold drink tea in a road side shop take a lift in a lorry ...after waiting fro around 15 in for bus small small treats without any reason ... where in we wud share the pastries and pizzas ... playing with ur kitten loong loong talks with ur best pal !! chatting through chits
