My favorite Day

What is the your favorite day in the week?

Well it may sound weird but I have my favorite day in week.

I like Wednesdays. Well there is no particular reason but I like the day just like that :-).

When I was in school Wednesday was the day when we could were our regular dresses to school. (Yeah... In my area not all students could afford to have two sets of school uniform. So we used to have Wednesday and Thursday off for uniform. ). So I always used to look forward to Wednesdays to wear new cloths :D
The trend continues till now. I still wear new clothes particularly on Wednesdays.

Then they used to have "Chitrahaar" on TV. Our only source of entertainment in school days.
It continued in college too. Initially, our only source of entertainment was the "Chitrahaar" on Wednesdays (and yeah "Chaayaageet" on Sundays). So we would make sure that we are in mess right around 7:30, grab our plates and find a seat near to the TV. Some gals would even grab place on floor near the TV. We wouldn;t even hesitate to climb on the mess table to get perfect view of the tiny TV set. We would sing along with all the songs. It used to be helluva fun !!! :-) And yeah .... we would even get relieved from ragging in first year as all our seniors used to be busy watching it :D.

Hmmm... So the point is

I love Wednesdays !!!

9 2 11

They are two complete strangers.
One taxi-driver and another spoiled brat… completely from different backgrounds
One is crazy with 23 jobs in 15 years, loves his wife and lies to her all the time. Hates each and everything in world… blaming people around him for the problems he has.

Other is son of filthy rich father who is all of a sudden has been dispelled him from his father's property and now he is ready to do anything to get that back.
They meet each other and what follows is the most bizarre day in their life…
They fight, curse and even try to kill each other

At the end of the day, they find each other. They are no different… And yeah… its their birthday (Yes … they share same birth date)

They are like soulmates.

Crazy isn’t it ?
But I think it is very true. You never know whom you would end up with. Sometimes you are living with yourself for years and still you don’t know who you are.

So what is this "soulmate" thingie all about?
Someone you would marry and spend all your life with (and crib all your life about it) or someone whom you would meet for fraction of a time and your whole world will change upside down. Your soulmate doesn’t have to be your opposite gender.

Who knows?
I guess not everybody is lucky enough to meet their soulmate or identify them if they really come across each other.

I am searching for mine. Its real tough task.

Where are you my soulmate ?

:)

"Hello"
"Hi. can I talk to xxxx"
"Yes speaking. may I know who is this?"
"I guess you know who am I?"
"... Yes I know. But still I want to hear from you"
"Hi. Hows you?" (Oh no ... I am in tears)
"I am great. Hows you? Kitane dino tak wait karwaya tune"
(I start crying..as usual !!! This guy always makes me cry :D )
"Ab tak roti hai. Kab sudhregi tu..."

And all the fights, bad feelings were washed with them. Its been real long since we talked. More than a year ! There was a time when he was the only person I would run to in my happiness and saddness. My all time victim for crying sessions :D.
Hmm.. My Best friend.

So good.
I was just thinking ain't I blessed with crazy bunch of people around me. One ambitious techie, one hyper active guy,one pschyco gal, one akaru designer, one dreamy mallu ... ohh yeah !!!
Why do I need to cribb about problems in life when I have these people to support me in good and bad times? They are always there to bear my gibberish talks, sudden mood variations... so many things

Well .. I am really short of words here ... :)

Saying thanks will be just stupid of me ...

Loss of concentration

So I am having this training ...
Supposed to be verry verrry important for my project. The GOD is training us.
But as usual I am off ... Either feeling sleepy or letting my thought wonder all over the world.

Well I have tried and tried real hard to increase my concentration. But most of the times I just go blank.
I hate meetings. I hate sitting at one place for more than half an hour.
My main job in our team meeting is too draw pictures. Thats the habit from childhood. My notebooks are filled more with sketches than what actually used to write in them. Back pages of the notebook full with dictation (or just few interesting words) from speaker's speech. I actually have list of words that my manger uses, noted in my notebook longer than minutes of the meeting. When all other people are listening to him religiously, I am sleeping. I try hard not to sleep or get distracted by other thoughts.

If I have to put in 'Anne of Green Gables' words, I like to imagine myself wondering in woods or walking on garden lawn barefoot or watching out of the window glasses or something interesting like that... or just throwing the speaker out of the conference room...(:D)

I don't lose my concentration when I am reading a book or listening to great piece of music, watching a beautiful picture, an animation movie or I am thinking about something really good... or anything interesting like that. Its only when I am working here. And I can't force myself to do things I don't like. I just can't.

I forget half of the things. They say I am absent minded. Sometimes I feel very ashamed of not being serious about my career, my work...blah blah. I feel lost when all the people around me talk about this code and that company and blah policy and blah strategy. But then I am not that bad at my work...not at all. I do finish my work...always in record time... I don't work extra because I don't find it interesting. It is very monotonous and boring. Well nobody has forced me into this profession. In fact I had to fight with my so-called well-wishers to let me choose engineering over medicine. At one point of time I dreamed of becoming the best software professional. But now I don't feel so !!

Is it just me or everybody has this problem ?

PS: I am writing this sitting in the training room :D
