Different Strokes - I:

13/09/08 :

Its 2.20 a.m and m jus not feelin sleepy…(recollectin the day’s happenin as m listenin to Sinbad the Sailor)…...probably coz I got up quite late (arnd 11 a.m) ..had taken half day (intendin to reach office in the second half) since it was Onam and Mom wanted me to stay bak for lunch as Dad had also taken an off….After a grt lunch (I don remember wen was the last tym I had rice et home), left for office at around 2 p.m,,,,,stopped on the way at ICICI bank Prabhadevi to transfer share to a frends account which was pendin at my end since few months now….(hey dude, finally done that n apologies for the delay) n also said a hi to a frend who s workin ther….thou durin our conversation I thought she luked a little lost…. Probably thinking abt work (felt gud m not the only one whos lost..…lolzzz)….
Well, incidentally, couple of frenz hav been askin me wen r u writin ur next post n I was like I don hav any topic to write….n now dat m not not feelin sleepy ..jus thought I ll write sum recent experiences/ incidents which I remember………..

The Farewell Treat:
The buoy (Ramaiy) is leavin the team, so a farewell party frm him for 2day, thou I thought ideally we shud be da ones givin him a treat….but instead we got him a gift….so I guess twas ok….Went to Gallops at mahalaxmi race course….gud fud…reasonable rate…I liked the place n the time spent there…thou I guess der was a moment wen boss was makin fun of a farewell mail dat buoy had sent to the big boss n I felt quite bad for him n thought that was not required…..but neways he took it quite sportingly at that point of tym…..n buoy thanx for the treat , rather treats ( I guess he has given da maximum treats in group…oops we ll miss dat now)…..n wish u all the best for a bright future ahead….thou ther wer tyms wen I felt quite irritated wit him, but it was fun with him bein around,,,the team will miss u buoy……

Jai Jai Maharashtra Majha………

Incident 1 : A frend tol me “hey did u see…deloitte is written in marathi as well”. Apparently they hav been given a notice to display the name in Marathi by….i don think I need to specify name here…its obvious….that day wen I was standin at the bus stop I observed dat…thought twas quite strange…A day later wen I was travellin to office, I suddenly noticed from Prabhadevi onwards, each and every store (from Subway to US Pizza to a general store) had their display name in Marathi…I jus fail to understand the reason behind it…..what are people tryin to prove by doin this? Are they really tryin to display their strength and presence in Mumbai? I have no clue…..mebbe my knowledge is limited on all these topics but wud like to hear from anyone who can answer y so much fuss is being created ,even the entire jaya bachchan episode…neways jus thought to myself “Jai Jai Maharashtra Majha, Garza Maharashtra Majha”

Incident 2: It was the first visarjan I think and on my way back from office…at Worli Naka ther was this procession goin on with dhol, drums etc…on the right side and on the left side ther was a large group of Muslims offerin their prayers….n neither parties had any problems whatsoever wit each others religion….N again I jus said to myself “ Jai Jai Maharshtra Majha” Wen a common man understands and demonstrates that ppl from different religions, regions, cultures can co-exist in harmony, then y are ther riots in the name of religion and region??? Again…no clue……

The Lift at Nehru Centre:

It was a Saturday and I was thru wit the day’s work….The lift which stops on almost all floors was not workin …so I had to go to the 14th floor (I was on 11 th floor) to take the lift …..As I entered the lift ther was a guy n 2 gals in the lift (visitors I presumed as the guy inquired abt the offices on all floors)……then the gal asked “ Does this lift stop only on 1st, 2nd, 14th floor??” I said “Yes”…n then she remarked “ Ohh….thats sad…so it means if sum1 is on the 6th floor he wud have to climb to the 14th floor to take the lift”…..n I replied “ Nopes….if sum1 is on the 6th floor, he wud rather walk it down”…..n Thankfully she realized wat she said n thn replied “yeah obviously” anyways jus to make her feel a little better abt all the poor 6th floor guys I said “ Thers actually a lift on the opposite side which stops on almost all floors but unfortunately is not workin rgt now”

Its 3.20 now and I gotta go n sleep…thou not feelin sleepy et all…but neways wil giv it a try,,,,,will continue with the random thoughts later………….
