A threat or a benchmark?

As I tread past the months and days one by one, I can feel the pressure...of the impending 2009..

Its already Mid of 2007...and yet...we are back to where we started from...or maybe even a few steps back...

Will we as an entity be able to see the dawn of 2009.. or will we be looking at the clock as it slowly takes us into the new year of 2009...or maybe the "2009" importance itself will be erazed out of our minds .........without leaving any traces as we become more and more engrossed in our daily transactions...

It is yet to be seen....and experienced...

The intial 2009 year that started as a benchmark.....now looms on my head as a THREAT...

Why...do I feel so uneasy when I think of this 2009....I am unable to find an answer.....

It wasnt supposed to give me this impendign doom feeling...or was it?

A Meeting that Turned Ugly...

Had never imagined an inter-departmental meeting can turn into such a nasty exchange of words and feelings...

Even diplomacy and political correctness was forgotten!!

How could a simple knowledge transfer meeting get to this level...when some people had to quieten others...(that's a different thought that i was also among the one who had to be shooed.... :-))

Though it was feeling very disgusting during the ugly repartee but afterwards...I was thinking it was kinda funny how mature, sensible guys who excel in their jobs and control huge teams...were down to this level of throwing their snobbish attitudes around...and the others instead of being sensible enough to ignore and give diplomatic remarks were showing bare hurt feelings and trying to walk out!

Out of the seven people in the room...I wonder how many had a high pulse and blood pressure level at that instant! At least five, I am sure did...counting myself!

All for what???????

Poor OCD

This weekend passed by in shopping and more shopping!

New furniture for my room, a pair of jeans, a pair of PINK trousers, a number of T-shirts, shoes.....I went berserk shopping!

Most things were unnecessary but i kept picking up and trying and then ultimately buying...

All the time, I kept blaming on the OCD...and buying more and more..and spending more and more...

And when thinking later...i was not even feeling depressed!

Then if it was not OCD...what possessed me that prompted such a moronic behaviour???

Still pondering...

But the clothes do look good on me! ;-)

Ego Boost?

A glance, a smile and there goes the adrenaline flying!

I must be getting really old to get so excited about these little things!

Sitting in the cafe, having a cold coffee and lapping away the gossip in the tabloid..i noticed this man sitting on the table diagonally behind me with a laptop...

The first thing I noticed about him was his dark curly hair...now i have always had this thing about CURLY hair!!!!!

And as i was noticing him, he looked back...that should have been the stop ..but no...though i looked away.. i am sure he must have noticed the twinkle in my eye!

Anyways...a friend's call came through and as I was talking on the phone and he typing on the laptop...we kept looking at each other and managed to convey the message that WE are noticing one another...

It was childish...something that used to happen in late school and early college...but I had this sense of deja vu and kept on exchanging looks and knowing smiles and pretending to be just looking without any intention...

Ultimately the time came to leave and I knew he was waiting for a signal or a word but I controlled myself, and thought...GET OVER THIS SILLINESS and GET GOING...

As i drove away...I could see him saluting me standing by the side of the road...

An ego booster DOES help MAKE your DAY! :-)

Alvida.....

Alvida...alvida...ab kehna aur kya...jab tune kah diya...alvida...

How well i can associate with these words and verses...

As if they were written just for me...
