Anything good about being bad?

Aaj team walon( some ppl) ko .. thoda hadkaya...

not feeling good about it--- But the seriousless of a few things just doesnt seem to sink in when you tell it -'sweatly'...

yaar... I dont feel good about being bad..though for the good... hopefully, this isnt for good!!!

Visual Treats.. is what I call it!

just coming from dhoom2...well, the moovie could as well have been named hrithik!!!

he was goooohhhoooood!... every inch!... the guy totally stole the show!!

Daniel Craig(Casino royale) last week and now Hrithik.... been a good dosage of visual treats lately....:)

Is Time the ans?

This week was one of my most craziest weeks! Handling 30 member team is no joke! I have come to respect a PMs role much more than ever!

From assigning defects to keeping tab on quality of deliverable to meeting number needs to coordinating multi-dc initiatives to kick-off of bday celebrations at project to getting tickets for the team for some god damn IBU-level sponsored moovie to attending to leave approvals to handling health issues of teams mates to -to handling teh sheer volume of mails( ordinary day min 25 CCs, 10 Tos, 35 Group- ALL important)--to handling onsite oppurtunity cribs to keeping up the team moral---- i've done it all! it seems never ending!

Its tough to believe-- but, I have gotten into a listening mode-- I seldom speak!(REALLY!) The minute I enter L4N, I stop talking!... i get into the loop of endless listening! I now understand why Ramchand seemed so grumpy all the time!

All this week, I have been telling my self-- "Next week... All will be well"...
I dont think, i have waited so hard for some one at the project to return back...

I hope Next week will be different, I hope I will get time for shamshad, I hope I will make it to teh gym, I hope I start talking normal...

It isnt that the things have been all that gloomy, there are tonns of bright things that have happened tooo. The Team structure, the defect turn around, KM@project as well as KM@AllState and KM at IHL... throwball everyday... sound sleep( coz am so dead by the time i reach home, i just drop dead on my bed!)... Big Boss all most everyday...

havent been able to make it to Kmukh since the last 3 weeks--- Momz coming to Mang tomorrow--- Also, IHL is sponsoring Dhoom2!

Again, somehow feel like i am just flowing with teh flow-- and the flow is a li'l toooo Forceful for me to enjoy it---
Seems like I Cant get a grip of things.. get the feeling of being gripped by something!
Seems like nothingz in my control... Am controlled by something too overpowering...
Seems like I dont understand life...sometimes!

Well, like aish mentioned in her interview-- "Life never promised to be any different...."

But.. on a positive , the feeling of disorientation( that i mentioned in my previous post) has dissppeared...

May be "Time" is the answer! May be I just need to patiently wait for another -"Day after tomorrow"

The Day after Tomorrow...

The day turned out to be better than it seemed when it began...
Woke up to cancel plans of travelling home-- wasnt feeling at the top of my spirit...well, you can imagine how one feels at the tail-end of flu-attack..the relief of recovering is shadowed by the effect of medicines( that not only fight the bacteria/virus but also your morale)...and to top it all -my stomach was behaving funny too...( musta been lastnight's onion rings)

Hadnt it been for puneet's call, i would have successfully exceuted my plans of sulking all day at home (Watching TV also seems a luxury these days, since my flatmates have this new found affiliation to all TAM channels...screw you SUN TV!!!!)Anyways, once at office, realized my embassy m/c had been shifted to my new place... I like my new location!Had to come down to 3N1 to check Infy mails-- (damn the ODC model!!!!).. And then, time just flew...

it was 2.30pm-- and Puneet and I were at the dhaba searching for something new in the menu!.. well, therez not much scope there! settled for almost the regular!
it was 4.00pm-- and pavana and I were at teh baddy court...Jeetu joined and we had a game-- pavana and I, lost to jeetu 15-13-- Of course Jeetu cheated!-- how else could 2 smart ladies end up on teh losing side!
it was 6.00pm-- and i was at teh gym-- after a pretty long time-- Felt good!
its 8.00pm now and I am finally Blogging-- though about the silly general li'l nothings ...

a li'l about my new project:
New technology, new system, new hardware...and 30 ppl to manage!-- its total chaos and scary so far!Just 2 days back got to assosiate faces to the names that I have been assigning work to...Lots to do... in all areas...
Its scary.. but i'll manage...:)
a li'l about some other general li'l somethingz:
1. Shifted to a new room and have a new roomie now- Swati-- I like her..:) We have some similar taste when it comes to watching TV..
2. Rahul left for milwaukee. Lunch group will never be the same! And mobile phone seems useless!
3. On a fight with neetu-- that'll take a while to resolve...

Sigh!!!

Suddenly feels like-- I am having to start life all over again! strangely drained... strangely disoriented... strangely pessimistic.. strangely blank!

But, Things will brighten up!.. I know!.. if not tomorrow, the Day after tomorrow...

Am tired...

am blue...

Out of one.. and into another

Out of one ODC model and into another...
Out of NM and into AllState..

I am sure its going to be fun... lotta scope for a lotta stuff!!!
This IS going to be one helluva ride!!!!

BTW, I love my new project...

Lady with the Bow

Trad Day.. yet another

( IHL was no where in picture)

Madikeri on Suvarna Karnataka!
