A Blog Post-3

Just now discovered that i can compose posts from my office..:).What a great relief...Using mozilla, not only can i open my blog in view mode but can also compose and post new posts....But alas!!..this discovery came a bit too late, all these days i was totally jobless but did not know about this mozilla thing...and the day i discovered this...bang!! came the strart date of a new project...Anyways, this post is solely dedicated to the fact that now during free time i would be able to write a post or 2 from office...:)

Its sunny outside and no traces of clouds...This otherwise boring office gives an awsum view of outside on rainy days. The other day clicked this pic when it was pouring heavily..

And this is how Gurigram looks like from my office window on normal no rain days....


Chalo ji..time to wind up for the day..!! cheers...

A blog post-1

1. Its already 8 minutes past 12, and i am still awake...waiting for husband dear to come back. His flight has just landed and he should be home anytime. I have been feeling really sleepy all this while, but last time when i resigned to sleep God waiting for husband ..poor chap had to come inside the house through an open accessible window as multiple phone rings and door bells failed to wake me up! So better stay awake than make him go through that circus once again...:D
2. Gurgaon weather is awesome since last 2 days, feels like i am back in Bangaluru..:)..:)..:)....
3. I am sitting at the window seat in office today..the view from here is awesome…:)

Google पे "English to Hindi Translation " छापा....तो कोई site खुल गयी, जिसमे इंग्लिश में अगर कुछ लिखो तो उसके कोर्रेस्पोंडिंग वही वाक्य हिंदी में आ जाएगा; हिंदी भाषा में फिर गूगल पे दोबारा ढूंडा और पाया की मुझे जो चाहिए वो "translation " नहीं "transliteration " है मैं जो भी इंग्लिश में लिखूं वो वैसा ही देवनागरी लिपि में आ जाए जैसे अगर " View of the town from my seat is good" translate किया जाए हिंदी में तो वो बनेगा (using the translation tool).." मेरी सीट से शहर का दृश्य बहुत अच्छा है" और अगर मैं इसी को transliterate करूँ Google transliteration की मदद से तो सीधा देवनागरी लिपि में आएगा " व्यू ऑफ़ द टाउन फ्रॉम माय सीट इस गुड"
Interesting finding...:)

My office expense policy sucks....big time!!!...
I came back from an office tour last to last week. Raised my bills and today got a mail from Finance saying:
"In the above-mentioned ER, you have claimed laundry expenses which is not in line with the expnse policy. As per policy, employees travelling for a period exceeding 5 continuous days would be reimbursed laundry expenses for the number of days exceeding five only."
Apparently i had given my clothes for laundry on the 4th day of my stay itself.....and point to be noted is that i stayed there for some 20 days altogether.
I hate such policies. You travel for office work, travel like some 60 kms per day to and fro to the client's place and then at the end of the day also keep a tab on the number of days when you become eligible for giving laundry.....a day here and there and these cost cutting morons start sending you such e-mails. Not that i am against rules, but thing is, amidst so much work..who would remember ki abhi 5 din hue hain ki nahi.......isn't that totally Insane!!!....
Added to this, you are also suppose to submit your boarding passes while claiming your taxi expenses to airport...:O. This is, when the tickets are booked by the firm itself!!. But who knows, you might call the airlines and get your destination changed..., take a vacation....and come back to claim all expenses...:D....all this...without your manager knowing anything and at the "huge" risk of loosing your job??.....
life sometimes sucks..and that is an understatement!!!

फुर्सत

आज ऑफिस में १ कांफेरेंस कॉल थी, शाम ७:३० बजे पूरी तैय्यारी के साथ कॉल का वेट किया, लॉग इन भी किया, लेकिन सामने वाली पार्टी को यू एस ऑफ़ ए में किसी अनियोजित कार्य ने घेर लिया शायद और कॉल कैंसल...:) १ दम ऐसे लगा जैसे की बचपन में बारिश वाले दिन पानी से भरी सड़कों से जूझते हुए स्कूल गए हों...और "Rainy day" घोषित हो गया हो....:)...अलौकिक आनंद की अनुभूति....:)
इसी ख़ुशी के अवसर पे ये मधुर गीत.....

वैसे इस "जैसे" के बाद कई उपमाएं लग सकती हैं.....
-जैसे ....इंजीनियरिंग में सेमेस्टर रिजल्ट आने की खबर, अफवाह साबित हो गयी हो....:D
-जैसे....CAT का इम्तिहान जो अभी अभी आप बर्बाद करके घर आये हैं वो रद्द हो गया हो....:)
-जैसे....सुबह आधा घंटा पहले आँख खुल जाए...और फिर मन प्रफुल्लित हो उठे की वाह! थोडा और सो सकते हैं....:)
-जैसे ...आपको printouts के लिए pages चाहिए हों रात के २ बजे, और कोई भला मानुस अपने A4 शीट्स लैब में ही भूल गया हो...:)
जैसे ...न जाने क्या क्या.....:)

१ मित्र ने आज अपनी पहली नौकरी से इस्तीफ़ा दिया...और उन्होंने इस "resigning" अनुभव का विवरण कुछ इस प्रकार किया ...."ऐसा लग रहा है जैसे कि किसी giant wheel में बैठ के नीचे आते समय लगता है."...:)....नई नौकरी कि आपको ढेरों बधाइयाँ... !!
खैर....ऐसा thrilling अनुभव हमें भी जल्द ही हो ...तब तक हम ऐसे "call cancel" types अनुभवों में ही खुश रहते हैं...:)

A Wednesday!

Another not so great day....I am at a client at Peenya Industrial Area....some place in a remote corner of Bangalore, its is the farthest i have travelled within Bangalore from my home, i guess in past two and a half years..!!. I have to be here by 8:30 tommorrow..:O..i am tormented at the thought of leaving home by 7:15....insane hr to start work.... The assignment is a regular one; but before coming here I was having some apprehensions regarding the scope of work, people i'll have to work with and the size of the organization. All those got washed away once i entered the building. Client is a apparel tag manufacturer, the office setup is quite small...with single washrooms on every floor. Very humble settings and simple helpful people.

I remember visiting a client with similar infrastructure in Dec 2007, small office....the kind that looks as if a residential complex has been converted into an office. Small dining area, comparitively lower roofs, and yeah not to mention a terrace where you can go for evening coffee to enjoy Bangalore weather..:)

I have noticed, that such homely set up creates a very conducive environment for me to work, and gives some kind of mental comfort....(ok, some of you who know me would say, that han tujhe lagta hoga ki are ye to ghar types hai....to din mein post lunch so jayenge aaraam se..:D ..hmm...soch ke aisa lag to nahi raha..but ho bhi sakta hai..lol)...i somehow feel that i am more productive work wise, and i kinda feel that things are in good and in favor when i am working for such small set up (only in terms of infrastructure) clients...days appear longer...:)..i guess the homely environment gives a protected kinds feeling than the huge insane jazzy corporate setup...

What else...yeah one good thing which i noticed at one of the most crowded metro stations in Delhi; that people were standing in queues while waiting for the metro to come...:)....Queues at public places in Delhi are a treat to eyes...:). here is what it looked like...but still its better than no queue at all...

Though the moment train arrived there was again hauch pauch at the train door...but still, at least its a good begining....:)

One of my best friends wedding got fixed after a series of long drawn efforts..:))...I am super happy for you babes...:)..Congrats once again...:)...
