Some more popularity for me...Creativity Counts..

Few days back there was an internal product launch and they put a campaign online. I was roaming here and there inside the company intranet and I thought to put some time on the campaign site. I created some funny thought bubbles and published them. And yo, yesterday.. I got a mail from my colleague that it got published to the world wide community... again.. a proud moment. Apart from normal glitches, the current project is going super smooth ... I will say unbelievably smooth. And this so much doesn't look like the normal pre-February time for me. I guess Zwap's theory has stopped working on me ;)

Back to Hell... Back to Normal Life..

Yes... again after a long time, this time.. I will try to blog everyday, lets hope it turns out to be kewl this time. Today, I had a pretty busy day apart from my regular project I worked on some extra stuff too. As usual I cant say no.. and If I like working with that person then definitely there will not be a No. Still things were in control. I also bashed the bugger(The one that has made my life like a hell - A living example of non-professionalism known as Anakonda:P). I came late as I wanted to fix certain stuff then spend some time surfing/chatting and went to bed...

Damn It... I won it..

Hmmm....I do not live life king size but..I thought if I don't blog about this today and at this time and from this place(Right Here... Right Now... :P) then I will be doing an injustice to myself.

So as per my style, instead of blogging after a long period of time I am doing it right away...

I joined this company last year and as soon as I joined, I was lucky enough to attend an annual company meeting at Bangalore. That was awesome fun attending it. There was an annual award ceremony was going on and I was sitting in the crowd and I was thinking that when I will get this..maybe next year...? and Voilaa.. maybe I am too lucky or maybe I am blessed(I like the letter part). And voila.. today I got it.. I am here in a beautiful city called Bangkok and...today in afternoon session of the company meeting, I won an award for innovation(It was a team effort and.. from a huge team four people were chosen to represent the entire team and luckily I was one of them...). And the moment came... I was so happy.. and anxious too.. I wanted to speak something... but my mind was not in the state of saying anything so KS did the honour. He mentioned each and every member of the team and gave due credit. It was really a great experience, when I was a kid, I was used to win various awards - elocution, science quiz, essay writing, drawing etc but then it was on a very small scale and those were not my basic skill set while this one was on a larger ground and I really enjoyed the moment. Anywayz.. the moments.. passed by.. and.. here I am ... its almost 1 AM here and I am really tired and I don't know what I am writing but still... I am happy today and I thank everybody who played direct/indirect role to make me reach here...I think I should stop now....there is one more post...keep watching...

I wish I would have told her... - Touched my heart...

10th Grade

As I sat there in English class, I stared at the girl next to me. She was my so-called "best friend". I stared at her long, silky hair. I wished she were mine, but she didn't notice me like that. And I knew it. Afterclass she walked up to me and asked me for the notes she had missed the day before, and I handed them to her. She said "thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I wanted to tell her. I wanted her to know that I don't want to be just friends. I love her, but I'm just too shy. And I don't know why...

11th Grade

The phone rang. It was her on the other end. She was in tears, mumbling on and on about how her love had broke her heart. She asked me to come over because she didn't want to be alone, so I did. As I sat next to her on the sofa, I stared at her soft eyes, wishing she was mine. After 2 hours, a Drew Barrymore movie, and three bags of chips, she decided to go to sleep. She looked at me, said "thanks," and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her. I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends. I love her, but I'm just too shy. And I don't know why...

12th Grade

The day before prom she walked to my locker. "My date is sick," she said. He's not going to go. Well, I didn't have a date and in 7th grade we made a promise that if neither of us had dates we would go together just as "best friends," so we did. Prom night after everything was over I was standing at her front door step. I stared at her. She smiled at me and stared at me with her crystal eyes. I want her to be mine, but she doesn't think of me like that, and I know it. Then she said, "I had the best time, thanks!" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her. I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends. I love her, but I'm just too shy. And I don't know why...

Graduation Day

A day passed. A week passed. A month passed. Before I could blink, it was graduation day. I watched as her perfect body floated like an angel up on stage to get her diploma. I wanted her to be mine, but she didn't notice me like that, and I knew it. Before everyone went home, she came to me in her smock and hat, and she cried as I hugged her. Then, she lifted her head from my shoulder and said, "You're my best friend, thanks!" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her. I want her toknow that I don't want to be just friends. I love her, but I'm just too shy. And I don't know why...

A Few Years Later

Now, I sit in the pews of the church. She is getting married, now. I watched her say, "I do" and drive off to her new life, married to another man. I wanted her to be mine but she didn't see me like that, and I knew it. But before she drove away, she came to me and said, "You came!" She said, "thanks!" and kissed me on the cheek. I want to tell her. I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends. I love her, but I'm just too shy. And I don't know why...

Funeral

Years passed, and I looked down at the coffin of the girl who used to be my best friend." At the service they read a diary entry she had wrote in her high school years. This is what it read: I stare at him wishing he were mine. But he doesn't notice me like that, and I know it. I want to tell him. I want him to know that I don't want to be just friends. I love him, but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.

I wish he would tell me he loved me... I wish I would have done that too... I thought to myself, and I cried.

I bought my first Digital Still Cam

WOW.... tired... totally... didn't sleep last night... and.. didn't sleep the whole day.. actually.. since last few days... I am not sleeping well...LOL... this has been happening since a long long time... sleepless nights.. since I've come to Hyderabad. Anyways in the evening, everyone was interested in going to Ahmedabad to check out some jewellery exhibition and I said wow... free ride to Ahmedabad and I wont have to drive... so I jumped in. I set up a quick meeting with Rikin and we decided to meet near to Fun Republic. I dropped all the family members at Rajpath Club and rushed to FR ... though its only two minutes drive... I like to do it... drive like nuts in Ahmedabad...:P and reached FR. Within few minutes Rikin was there and then we started hunting.. yeah I was looking for a decent digital cam and then.. I immediately calle up Pradeep for more information as I am no more...the information keeper about digital cams. He suggested to go for DSC W70. So we looked in two-three stores while talkin about my new job and his new job at ESS and lot of all stuff. But we could not find a single store selling any DSC W100 and I was running out of time as I needed the cam for tomorrow's celebration. Atlast Rikin left and I went to Rajpath to get everybody and so we can go home to Gandhinagar. On our way I saw Sony World on S.G. Highway and my father stopped the car. After spending some time looking at other options, I finalized for Sony DSC W100 for a handsome amount. Anywayz we came back after getting some other stuff for myself.

After coming back to Gandhinagar we decided to go back to Ahmedabad and get kites so I headed back to Ahmedabad. I called Chirag and Roank to come so we can go and buy kites together. Again it was fun, it was so crowded even at midnight that we could hardly manage to reach our car after buying kites. Now I look forward to tomorrow... the big day... my first Uttarayan after we moved to Gandhinagar. I will sure put some pics once I get some free time...

LOL.. Going back to home...

I know... I am not being my self anymore, I am changing... they are positive ofcourse, but they are killing me... slowly... one by one... they are fading all away... my rage.. my passion to hunt my foes.. my anger that has been my driving force... my hatred that has been my life line.. and in this phase... strangely... I miss my family.. my friends... and Ahmedabad keeps calling me... Ahmedabad... as I am writing.. I felt something.. that raised inside... for a second... maybe a thunderstorm of feelings that came along with the name Ahmedabad... there are so many memories woven with this name... this polluted... crowded.. dirty city...where I was used to race against time on a scooter to reach college...where my heart missed a beat when I saw a cute face on my first day at college.. where I felt the first raindrops and complained to god why I am alone.. where I got some of my best friends... where I learnt things that helped me to survive the world outside... where I was used to feel like a king ... where I travelled in overcrowded bus no. 50... where my father taught me some of the best lessons of my life.. where I learnt that you will not get everything you want in your life.. where I... naaah let me stop here... it can go on and on...I am happy... today... I was there in Ahmedabad... just 15 days back.. and now I am getting a chance... again.. to go back... today is Friday... and tomorrow is my flight.. as usual early morning spicejet flight that takes me home in exactly..1.30Hrs. I am so excited.. I just don't have words...lets see...

Oh My God!!! I got a Passport!!!!

I know... I know how lame it sounds... but you know its... fun... after lotsa hassle.. I have got it at last... today I flied from HYD to AHM in the early morning Spice Jet flight(Yeah.. that's cheap too...) and then I reached AHM on time... as usual I drived back to home... it feels so nice when I get to drive. One thing I miss after coming to HYD is driving my car though its a pretty old one(7 n half year to be specific) its amazing when it comes to pleasure part of driving. Anywayz I did some time pass as usual... went to see Team ESS members and took enough care to not to mess like last time when I booked the ticket for the next day. Anywayz we reached to Passport office in time and then started the long wait..... it was nothing special.. but had to wait... wait.. n wait.. and luckily... I got it.... I missed some procedure(Dont you think that I am the king of 'I Mess it all' region?) and so ended up at the end of the game. I was the last one to get Passport on that day. Anywayz! I took it ... bought some sweets for my friends in HYD and flied... as usual the flight was late and had to wait a lot.. but it is ok... today was my day... I cleared a big hurdle... ie to get the Passport. Now I have one more challenge, I need to get US Visa. Let's see when I get it.
