23

Nah.. Its not any movie in the making.

My day began in the theatre- Sathyam to be precise. When i booked the tickets for night show I was thinking if it was be a wrong show to have booked. Was wondering if I would end up disturbing the people around with the calls that I'd receive at midnight for my B'day. But then, not many called. Got to watch the movie peacefully only to be reminded later that not many remembered my birthday :(

After all it's just another day. My folks have never given special importance to these kinda occasions. My dad shies to wish me..lol- cute. I don't think he did .. not that it mattered the least to me. I love him. Wore a kurta which was waiting for it's turn for inauguration. One of my dear friends had come home to wish me. I gobbled some rice and drove to office. I have this weird embarrassment when people wish me on my birthday. I either end up wishing them the same :) or stand still at a loss for words with a horribly plastic smile. Thanks to my company's online portal for making it as public as possible forcing tons of asinine expressions.

I was glued to the phone, receiving calls from people who on any other day would not qualify as anything more than a faintly remembered acquaintance. People count keeps increasing every year and the time that i get to talk to or spend with my dear ones keeps decreasing. My dearest friend met me in the noon. Spent a couple of minutes in front of the office. A hug , a wish and then a bye.

Back to desk. My college mate cum colleague did make my day interesting with his surprise black forest and some printed matter that has always been and hopefully will not continue to be anathema to me.

Before I realized I was 23 , I stepped into 24. . . 3 dots and time is flying by.

Get smart - Well I'm already

Hilarious is not the word.
Ideal beginning to the weekend. A must watch if you haven't already. 21 is next on the cards.


Till then.

Will my skin gloo?

Mama says 5 litres of water a day keeps the skin glowing. I do not know if my skin will glow, but 2 litres down and this is my 7th visit to the loo.

Rise and Fall

Unbearable pain. Trying to force its way out. But the world within is too dark and deadly. No space, No room. Constant grind. Constant input. The Unwanted get expelled right away. Only the fittest survive. It's blood shed around here. Now and then a solid metallic knock and a blinding ray of light. It's the halo of wisdom.

No sooner did my wisdom tooth rise than the dentist fixed the date for its removal. Yet another discovery - My teeth structure is devoid of the second molars. An average human is supposed to have 2 molars and the third one being the wisdom tooth. I became a subject of experiment at the clinic today when the doctor discovered this strange dental formation. My life is never short of surprises-usually on the mental front, this time on the dental.

Cheers!!!

Alma mater turns lucky for the wrong reasons

Its KKR vs RR.

Irevna arranged a bulk booking for the Chennai vs Rjasthan IPL match (May 24th). I blocked 4 against my name . The company arranged for a lucky draw whereby ten names would be picked for 1 free ticket/ name. Its not just a simple lot system. They had framed certain metrics based on the KKR vs RR match such as -
- Total number of catches in the match x 2
- Highest strike rate /5
- Total number of extras etc etc....
There were totally 73 irevnites who had booked tickets against their names. Ten lucky ones to get a ticket free. And to my sheer disbelief three of them turned out to be BIMites.

Gnanasundaram (thanks to yousuf pathan's strike rate), Arun sai (BIM 21) for extras and my serial number was 14 : 7 catches in the match so 7x2=14 . Lol. isn't that cool. I get my ticket sponsored and gotta pay only for the remaining 3 that i booked for my folks. And the lazy Nano and Sai get their sole ticket sponsored.

So who is luckier. They or i ???? Now thats a million dollar question. :D

Adventures of me post baptism

Long time.Hope life's treating you well. My training period is over and I was proved wrong in assuming that training is honeymoon period. Was made to slog a bit. Got a project with -------------. My analyst is ---------. Looks like a chink. He gave a stinker feedback of my sample report. So used to being appreciated for most of the works done hitherto, this came as a not so welcome shock to my ego. 'Welcome to Corporate world'. Was reminded of P.Sudarshan (PAPC). For a moment I thought I should leave the company and start my own business. Glad he decided to continue with me. He thinks I'll improve down the line. Let him think. He believes my summers in Infra sector will help me track the construction and Infrastructure industry in---------------. LOL. Somebody should take the initiative to enlighten the world as to what we MBA s doing during our course and summers. Anyways, now I have to build a model for the top 3 engg design companies in -------------- should see the mails we write – "Hope you are doing good… Looking forward to work with you…. Hope it'll be a learning experience…. I would love to take up extra responsibilities.. Hope I am not disturbing you.. When can I call you…" !@#!@$@!#$. Working with Indians is much simpler. They may not respect you but at least you know they are not happy when they say – YOU LADY… Look what you've done!!!.

Let's move on to the lighter side. Am driving my car all around the city now. Was proud of my driving skills and maneuvering ability TILL THIS MORNING. One half naked cyclist caused a big scratch mark on my black carL. Once I knew that the car hit him I kept moving … hence a long strait white color mark. L This happened on Doraisamy subway. Tnagar (one of the busiest areas… for those who do not know). This man then parks his Ferrari right in front of my car…in the middle of the road… and starts shouting "Naaaye.. unakku ottaa theryiyaadu… Adichitu nee maatuku poittee irukka.. Naaaye..!@#$$!$ !@#$!@#$#@$ " . NO TRANSLATION FOR THOSE WHO DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS.

I kept mum. What else could I do? Daddy says "The onus is always on the bigger vehicle" Tatas should make cars smaller than cycles. Am starting to learn things the harder way. : P

That was not quite the lighter side.

Saw the first Chennai match in Chepauk stadium. Chennai vs Mumbai. A group of 15 BIMites.. BIM 22 and 21. Going for the match on 24^th vs Rajasthan Royals. Irevna is booking tickets. Had an induction party in Raintree Hotel. 23rd I have a team Party at The Accord. So life's not all that bad for me. Took Nano & Shilpi for a drive to Praggy's house to collect our sweatshirts. Hit Abhi;s place on the way back. Not much of BIM meets but for these. Bala came to our office. Thankfully it was lunch time and not many people were there. He missed a good sight. The girls here are quite pretty.

RK is not happy with the money and he is looking at something really BIG (I meant an entrepreneurship venture GUYS). So his day goes away in Dabbawala thoughts. In fact he disappears after lunch. Busy with business deals. : P. Nano comes and leaves as he likes. Shilpi studies for her CFA. Ulti is busy in the next building. When asked as to what he was doing this is what he had to say "Research on option pricing formula assuming non-gaussian distribution without dynamic hedging and analyzing volatility models under conditionally heteroskedastic stochastic processes". In short.. Googling. I actually thought he was was doing that. ITS ULTI AND HE IS CAPABLE OF It

Gotta go now. FavORITE show on TV.
