I Quit

Hi All,

This is January the 8th and I had to come up with this brief!
I Quit!!

Now dont worry I am not gonna leave this world..haha I know the contextual usage of "I Quit" has changed after the advent of "3 Idiots". But last week has tested my character a lot and I had to make a real hard decision of quitting from my job.

I would like to term it as an "career move" which is quite critical and I would not be able to disclose the exact reason behind this step but again this is something very important. I would have to bear the financial consequences along with the prospect of losing out on a "safe job". But this is life isn't it?

I have heard that in life one has to make some real hard decisions and this is my real life face off.

Now I can proudly call myself as an "Voluntarily Unemployed" person...HAHA

Today is my last day at this office.
I would like to thank the seniors at my company for allowing me to move out so very swiftly and easily....Also a Thanx to all my colleagues and friends here for all their support..

Thank you!

Holiday Season cum Private Bash (Dec 23rd-Jan 3rd)

Hi all,

This is January the 4th and I am back again in my office! I sure could be killed one day due to this new found passion of writing blogs in the office.

Well getting to the matter at hand...I wish the Holiday season should have stayed forever....but this is life..and it has to go on. Now I would like to draw your attention to the last 10 days of my life which have been pretty much happening by God's Grace.

December the 23rd we had this huge annual party in our office. And we had this food and a lot of music and dance to go with. Alcohol was flowing. I tried to enjoy as I do not particularly drink and rather refrain from drinking. You can call me a teetotaler if you like but I do drink occasionally. Now all my efforts to enjoy went in vain...Why??
No good girls in FCS! Remember!;)
I would not add much to this but there were a few interesting things that happened later that night.There are couple of other offices in the same "FCS House" building and this party incidently was a joint venture. So as it turns out there were actually some girls at the fcs campus..
Description: They were all average looking females and they were not many. 3 to be precise!
for the first 2 hours all the girls must have had the "day of their lives" as all eyes were fixated on them and they must have realized that they were all being fantasized simultaneously by a lot of "female companionship starved" males of the great FCS.
Well sooner the girls disappeared as there was always a danger of "fantasy turning in to reality"..haha

To my surprise the party went wild after the girls left as alcohol was always there and all FCS guys got drunk. Its amazing what alcohol can do to you. For a moment I had a feeling that I was present in a gay party or a "gay parade" . So I actually decided to hid some where and escape as soon as I get an opportunity.

Then arrived the big day!!

24th easily was the best day of year 2009. I was happy that I could finally relax. It had been a hectic year and I desperately needed some time off . So I went to meet my friend Kunal and some other friend Mr.A in CP. (Name hidden on due request of our great Mr.A) The guy likes "Dhoom 2" so this name too was requested by the great guy himself.

We were having that usual chit chat and usual eye candy sightings. And suddenly...

Well a visit to CP always turns out to be a kind of mix. And it was all the same that day. You get to see a lot of single girls but at the same time you have to bear the sights of some morons enjoying with some real babes and suddenly you wonder that you too are the biggest moron and why the heck you don't have a girl walking beside you. Anyways we had to ignore all that and we moved on along the great inner circle of CP. Now life at CP was going on smooth until my friend Kunal decided to open his mouth and put forward a dangerous proposal. We guys love visiting some kind of obscure and haunted places and we had been eying this place called Bhangarh in Rajasthan for an year.

FYI We have had some history researching about these kind of spooky places in and around Delhi and our curiosity once led us to a place in the CP area which we felt was damn strange and scary as hell. It was incredible as we realized that there were a million people in that same area and no body had this clue man! So after conquering Delhi we thought about expanding our empire. And after doing some google we were sure that there is something strange in Bhangarh. Now this plan was in pipeline from March 2009 and never actually materialized due to transport and holiday issue.

Well getting back to that great proposal and so we decided to leave on 25th.

Now Kunal has two cars a great "Hyundai Santro" and a "Vintage Maruti 800" which actually dates back to the early 90s. We(me and Mr.A) assumed that anticipating the hardships of the planned journey Kunal would apply some common sense and would bring out his best car. But how stupid we were as he turns up with his great vintage car as if we were going for a vintage car rally in CP area. Initially we decided to give it a shot and then suddenly backtracked when we reached the NH-8. There was this NFS race which was going on and Kunal's mini DTC Bus simply could not match up. So after the best day I had to see the worst on the 25th.

26th , 27th were spent verbally abusing Kunal and watching TV.

27th-31st

I could have had gone any where but one has to consider family in every matter concerned. That's life for you again! So I went on a pilgrimage with my family.
It was great...

Back to Delhi January the 1st (Happy New Year)

I went for this movie called the "3 idiots" with my friends.. Well the same me , Kunal and Mr.A. It was just the right occasion with 3 idiots themselves present for the movie called "3 idiots"..movie was f**king hilarious.. simply amazing...but I tell you that it is actually the concept itself which makes this movie so great...I noticed some where in the news paper about the filmmaker questioning the reporter "Have you read the Book?"

I actually thought that the reporter should have responded that "You must have read it and that's why the movie came out so good" well these guys sure deserve a piece of hell... and Mr.Bhagat sure deserves much greater credit and everyone of us would agree with that. He is an icon for all of us.....

Well Jan the 2nd passed and the same movie was watched again and this time with the family.
Balancing is the principle of life in my book that is...

3rd passed in the horror of 4th arriving so soon...reality of life bites again and here I am in the office again.

Happy 2010 guys!
stay tuned for more...
