what kind of self respecting blogger writes posts 6 months apart???
Me!!! :)
this is the new policy....no apologies...just brazen self promotion...
i'm still holding on to the job!! rather...they have failed in all attempts to make me let go :) o yes...the going has been good...
and the train journeys....oh...they warm my heart and make my day...not necessarily in that order...
the bheed in the evening trains is incredible...as is the frequency of guys getting in the ladies compartment and then getting a piece(s) of abt 50 random minds....
the men of course...rise to the ...er...challenge....and retort with gems like..
"am i hurting u?!! huh? huh? am i physically or emotionally hurting you?? am i using cheap-like words? huh? huh madam?"
(the huh huh syndrome)
"see maaydam ok?...u should not be talking like this like this with me okay? u are all educated and i am also educated, working as sofware engineer in xxxx company okay?"
umm...yes...ookaaay....but then o-ye-educated-software-engineer surely u can read the signs outside the compartment?
and of course the clincher...
"i am with my misej...how can i leave her alone here?"
well sir...with around 100 women to protect and guard her....we assure u...she will be perfectly safe...pliss to step out.
much entertainment daily...and cheap too...just 340 Rs for 3 months ka season pass!!

travel travails
long time since last post....rather...long time since i got all that mean feedback for the last post....i admit it was not upto standard
well..i was kinda busy...u know the kinda busy when ppl uproot themselves from current surrounding and plonk in a new one?
yup...i changed jobs.
kinda long overdue...
the new place is nice...very organised...and work sounds interesting.
but...place is also deathly quiet....normally
one of the neighbours plays bhajans on the comp. ALL THE TIME.
i am sorely tempted to write abt work and the ppl at work....actually...dying to do that...but the risk of those same ppl at work readingwhat i write is too big a one to take. especially since i put my blog link on orkut...like a fool. which of course i have removed now..so i desist.
yeah yeah...am a fraidy cat...but hey...i need this job :)
due to some special connections with my stars...my current place of work is abt 26km from home.
so i takes the train to work.
before that an auto to the station from home. and a shuttle after the train to work.
i like to spread the goodwill...
the train is surprisingly convinient to travel..but the frequency is hopeless.
lots of interesting ppl on the train.one guy i was sitting next to once...was boring the skullbones off his friend...who i fervently pray...was not his gf. he had a tiny list in his hand....ostensibly of things he wants to do in this lifetime. since he wanted to talk abt EACH one of them in painful detail...i had no choice.
ppl...i was NOT eavesdropping. plz note.
anyways...a few from his list
"do good work" (is there any definition for that ...really?)
"eat good food daily...not from cafeteria" (cafeteria...r u listening??)
"go for hillstation vacation every year"
"learn to play musical instrument"
"sleep in good hotel....." dont even ask me what he meant by that last one.
not one "go bungee jumping" or "get a tattoo" type desire.
sad life.
had my b'day last wk. husband got me TWO calvin and hobbes :)))))))))))) yayyy!!
and a wickedly delicious darrrrrrrk chocolate cake
yum yum yummmmm
the airconditioner here replicates the tundra region.
am shivering....and forever calling the maintainance guys to turn it off.
till some moron complains its too hot. and then the cycle starts all over again.

in search of my millions
i havent updated this blog in a lonnnnnnng time....so long ..that certain ppl have started doubting my seriousness in starting this thing at all.
so here i am to silence the doubters...and to make the pt ..that....of course i am lazy in updating this!!!...this is my special brand of being unpredictable. hah!
today's fortune for me on orkut is "You will inherit a large sum of money". yayyyy!!
well its 10 pm already...but in case anyone is thinking on those lines..please know...i dont mind AT ALL.
came back to home country couple of months ago.. being back home is pure bliss. being on bench was pure pain.
but who wants to talk abt work? not me surely.
moved into our new home...so lots of procastinating, dusting, sorting, disposing, packing, unpacking, being delirously proud of our decorating skills...annnnnd...putting lots and lots of stuff onto the lofts.
there is so much that i have to say abt lofts..... from their marvelous "i-can-hide-every-piece-of-junk-u-own" features....to being the perfect excuse for not finding important stuff "arey..its in that suitcase in the loft...that loft in the bathroom" .
no one will ever ask u for that offending item again.
did i mention the "perfect place for hiding old stuff mom wants u to throw away" feature?
when i used to live in a township in the jungles of orissa...lofts were owned by the lizards....so i have this slight paranoia abt climbing onto any loft anywhere. only slight..
anyways...koffee with karan is on again. save the srk episode...everthing else has been so yawn inducing. where are the senses of humours?
