D' ART UNKNOWN

The topic seems a little abstract right??? Well, may be....But read on to know more and clarify it too...

Tringggggggggggggggggg......Bleeeppppppppppppppppppppppp........Thadaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa....

I mean what not....These are some of the hideous ring tones I get to listen to...Oh My GOd!!!!! Did I just say hideous.... Understatement..... They are awful, detestable, loathsome.....

Technology is indeed a boon... At times a bane....Cell Phones!!!!! Buzz word from the last 5 - 6 years but gaining high level market in the last 2 - 3 years.... Every Tom, Dick & Harry possess one... And the tones their phone rings in , is grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.....Nerve racking.....Especially, Hello,,, Hello,,,, And then a few more crappy words come out.. I mean for crying out loud, a Hello at the top of your voice even before you call..... Man, utter nuisance... ( A few turkeys in my office too, have this MIND BLOWING ring tone...)

Anyways, boon or bane discussion later on.. Let me stop meandering like a lost brook......

My phone as a rule is never in the loud mode from the day I have come to possess this awesome little pocket sized, at times nuisance.... Never ever....I just hate it... So what if my phone is silent, unfortunately the phone possesser isn't... So there goes!!!!!

When I get a call, OH MY GOD!!!!!! My voice can never ever be low.. You guys got it right... I am not one of those SOFT SPOKEN GURLS at all.. Either ways, very true..... But it is not meant to be deciphered that I scream to the top of my voice... Irrespective of knowing the Decibel level.....

I try hard to whisper, but either that other person is so tuned to my voice that they won't understand...or I land up going back to my own pitch....Old habits die hard types... Right???

Now what actually this entire preamble is leading to is a very nice incident I came across just last evening....

I got into my second bus well within 6:30 P:M yesterday, one of those really lucky times.....I was busy reading a book... There is this lass who gets into the bus 3 mins later... She sits next to me... I saw she had plugged in her ear phone... Well, what is so umcommon... (Now let me tell you one more thing about cell phones... MUSIC, by default a major bless... Unless its not for public entertainment....But there will be a few who love to entertain the rest...SOCIAL SERVICE TO THE MANKIND... MAN.. KIND.. Now the MAN part is comprehended, but KIND... UNKIND at times.....)...

Now, this girl sat and I went back to reading my book...After sometime I got a call, spoke and hung up.. Now let's not discuss the pitch....Then I just turned to see the girl next to me... PHEW!!!!!! I would have died out a major cardiac arrest.. Yes, you got it write, no more blogs, motivations, entertainment from me.. What a loss.....Well, to my utter astonishment, I realise that this girl has been yanking on the phone from the time she has got into the bus....My GOD!!!! And the best part is I, sitting right next to her haven't got a single word to listen too.. Yes, not even an alphabet....

I was so stunned that I am pondering even now as to how a few poeple are blessed with this wonderful talent of 'SPEAKING SOFTLY', which I so far am UNKNOWN OF....

Hats off to this girl... If I ever meet again, I will for sure post a blog on the tips of SPEAKING SOFTLY... Now not related to SOFT SKILLS at all...

Watch out this space till then folks!!!!!

MOTIVE.... NATION......

NOW, NOW, NOW.....MOTIVATION, typically H.R terminology....Well, I still go on with it...





Motivation is a big push in life... It is needed at so many levels in an individual.... Don't you think so....Or is there someone who agrees to disagree... ( If so, go take a hike..)


Coming back, every small thing needs a lillte bit of that extra push at times, either an external force or an internal drive that emerges strongly that the gates flood open...


Now was that too much....Wasn't it??? ( What bro???? Wadya say???)....





Lets take the dreaded Class X Board Exams... Now who says motivation is not required to take you through a good grade.....Right???





Or say Class XII exams.....That great MOTIVATION may lead one to the IIT's...Most prestigious colleges.....





Well, I should say I am pretty good at motivating people...





Let me proudly justify my above statement..





Just three days back, my best friend, who got married last year, came to me... Of course, she has too....We stuck from the last ten years.....Now let me tell you further..





She has one helluva of a time in a day... Trying hard to balance both professional as well as personal fronts... ( I am sure, she will strike a cordial balance soon....)





She used to cook earlier, waking up at 4 in the morning...Pack and leave to work...





These days she is finding hard to do that... So that poor girl is having food at work.. Well, cant't eat put daily right??? I mean I cant' at all...





So she pings me and asked me what to do... Me being Me... Went on to give her all the advice possible...





Imagine the mind blowing results... This lass has started waking up early again in the morning and started cookin and packing in time......





So what more do I say???? My Motivation WORKS.... Right Gurl???

Gurl... I'm sure your reward is on the way.....Go girl go.....





P.S: Sharp motivating skills .....Motivating is done absolutely free of cost!!!!!!

JUST A SMILE AWAY

AS IT IS SAID, " A SMILE CAN PUT ALL THINGS STRAIGHT".....or " A smile confuses an approaching frown".....

Anyways let me spin my tale on a SMILE....

Each day, as I've mentioned in my earlier blog, I try hard to leave home at 8:30 a:m.... Yes, you got it right, try hard.....

Anyways I leave home at about 8:30 a:m, hurriedly rushing towards the stop to catch a bus... ( At times, I'll be lucky if I don get a Volvo.....Obviously saves me the cost apart from my bus pass cost, OVERHEADS saved....)

I usually will be reading my bro's msgs which he would have left loads for me to read and MISS him more...:) or I will be listening to music....or Messaging of course!!! ( How could I miss that essential part of my life.....)

After a walk a few seconds from my house, I see this girl walking in the opposite direction towards me... She has the usual way of walking, with her hands folded. come rain, sunshine etc, this girl never wears a Cardigan.. Never ever....I call this girl my INDICATOR!!!!!

Yes Indicator, because when I see her I know I'm early... And I secretlt praise myself( Well done babe!!!!) Yeah, yeah , yeah , for those of you smirking, it ain't a great achievement, but for me it is.......

This Indicator , as I said earlier, walks in the opposite direction. Initially, we used to just see each other and pass off... Nothing more, nothing less.....As the days passed, I guess my face kinda got familiar to her.... Then she used to see me and I used to see her, and pass on....

Nowadays, yes nowadays, it is so happening that we both smile at each other when we pass....SMILE , yes a smile...Doesn't cost anything you see.....Let's see when we talk to each other....

It actually feels nice to get a warm smile from an unknwon acquaintance on your way to work.....

Way to go my Indicator!!!!!!

As of now this is my SMILING PAL who is 'Just smile away'!!!!!! ( And according to my Bro, Just A Smile Away, becomes Just a Mile Away!!!!)......

ALL IN AN EVENING

PART III

MY CONCLUDING PART...WILL KEEP IT SIMPLE & SWEET & SHORT..

6:05 p:m : Rushing towards the bus stop, tugging my Ramya along... Wishing we get an empty bus to sit and go..

6:10 p:m : Shit, that bus was so damn empty, why the hell didn't that guy stop... God, we have wait now.. Usual ramblings.....

6:15 p:m : The sight of an empty bus is like an Oasis in the Desert.....

6:30 p:m : Chuggs along to reach majestic...Man what an unwelcoming sight....Ghastly...

6:42 p:m : Standing and cribbing away to glory... Obviously no bus...

7:45 p:m : Finally reach the destination from where my mum picks me up//

7:50 p:m : See my book guy is there, if yes, pick up a few books and reach back home...

Rest I need not go on.. Not required to know everything..

That is it for now....

ALL IN AN AFTERNOON

NOW FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO WONT FOLLOW THIS BLOG, GO TAKE A HIKE...

PART - II
ALL IN THE AFTERNOON

Let me continue from where I stopped....

9: 45 a:m : Awesome.. I made it.. That is the feeling I get when I reach office....

9:50 a:m : Busy checking mails.. Yes you bet, mails... ( GMAILS)....

10: oo a:m: What is the hurry man?? Anyways I have to check, loads of mails will be awaiting in my Inobx...

Let me skip the rest... Goes on in work....

1:30 p:m : I' m so famished... Lunch time..

2:00 p:m : Back to work..

Then goes on...

6:00 p:m : Me out of office..

That is it for now...

Until next time...

ALL IN A MORNING

ALL IN A DAY is heard, but ALL IN A MORNING.....It will come out in three parts...

PART - I --> YES, IT'S MY MORNINGS.....

THIS IS HOW I START MY DAY....READ ON...

7:30 a:m : Oh Shit!!! Oh Shit!!! Its already 7:30...God not again.. I'm late.......Each day i decide to wake up at 7:00 but Me being Me....I rush down stairs...

8:00 a:m : Running around the whole house, telling my mum that I am late..

Usual scenario....My mum will agree for sure...

8:20 a:m : Trying to stuff something into my mouth or my mum shoving it down my throat... Eventually I manage to gobble up something...

8:32 a:m : I try hard to scoot from home to the bus stop...... I manage 9 out of 10 times.....the other time it gets 8:35 a:m......

8:38 a:m : God!! Please let that darned VOLVO be there, I can't go standing else... Please , please, please... Praying hard on my way as I have no time at home.....:)

Effective utilization of time on the road you see... I'm sure you'll agree, " WALK WHEN YOU TALK, TALK WHEN YOU WALK"....same application in my case, minus the phone....

8:40 a:m : If the RED VOLVO is standing, nothing pleases me more in this world... Man , I made it.. I beam as if I have won the OSCAR.... May be some day I will.....:)

Hop in and sit in my usual place... Open a book and start......

8:45 a:m : WOW!!! The bus starts.....What a joutney.. No one dancing on my head, no one stamping my foot, tugging my hair or clothes... It feels I'm on cloud nine...

9:25 a:m : Shit man!! Shit.. Haven't reached majestic yet!! What the hell, even after paying this guy is slow ...What fate!!!

9:30 a:m : Oh man at last I see the familiar sight, buses choc o block... All honking in vain.....Me first, me first... But alas, the wait besets....

9:31 a:m : Finally I hop down... Well it doesnt end here... I run again to catch another freaking bus....

This scenario may not be new, but this is how it works for me each morning....

Until next time, keep waiting for the rest.....

SILENCE AT TIMES

THIS BY FAR IS THE MOST UNBELIEVABLE!!!! GOTTA BELIEVE IT THOUGH....

"SILENCE" - The very GOLDEN word was alien to me till a little while ago.. My friends and brother for sure will agree on this.. My mouth never shuts as long as I am awake.. Thank God, I do not talk in my sleep, else my poor jaws would go take a hike by now....

Anyways, the inference is that I am a very talkative person... then why SILENCE.. The most dreaded word in my dictionary....I must admit I am a poor listener.. I have to talk, very rarely do I allow my opponents to talk... Battle won always...

But these days, yes these days I am learning to be SILENT... Can you beat it???? No ways!!! Oh MA GOD... ( My pals will have a cardiac arrest or their brains will sleep...) Yes, I'm learning a new art these days, " THE ART OF BEING SILENT"---- FOR ATLEAST A WHILE....

I somehow keep my mouth shut in office and do not talk much.. Actually feels good.. I always knew that SILENCE and ME are poles apart, but I was mistaken... Highly mistaken...

I can also remain silent if I wish too....

Man, ain't i glad to discover this new potential in Me...I need an award if there is any...( Well, the silent ones will for sure get mad at me...)

Anyways what I wanted to say is that even I can be silent.

P.S: Feeling is very good at times, as it avoids all the unwanted talks. Lets see how long it lasts...

A DIFFERENCE

This blog of mine may seem different, but I'm sure it won't go unread....

6'o clock each evening I leave office, hoping against hopes that I needn't have to travel via Majectic. (I'm sure all BMTC commuters would agree with me and understand the pain of travelling in a bus firstly & secondly via majectic...). Each day no different at all.. I leave office, catch two buses to reach home via the dreaded majestic.. ( My pals who call me at 6 to give me company, will know the real essence of ma cribbings...)

So, here I was three days back leaving office again at 6 in the evening. At least then I manage barely to reach home by 8:45... Phew!!! what a journey... Courtesy: Traffic Jams....for making it so simple.... Anyways, I rushed out of office and my pace increased to reach the bus stop... I caught a bus to majestic... Reached the wonderful place at about 6:30 P:M. I was tierd to the core.. Exhausted completely... I had to wait for sometime before I got my next bus.. Wow!! I mean what luck... Travelling via majestic is by itself a lovely plum cake and if you need to wait there then its the best cream topping on the CAKE... Most of the days I manage to top off the cream, but this day was one of those lucky days when the cream didn't want to bear the idea of separation from the cake..So they united, AT MY COST!!!! How marvellous!!!

Well, that is my idea of travellin via majestic & waiting there for the next change...

Before I digress any further, let me verily continue what the intent of this blog was....

I finally managed to get into the next bus at 7:00 P;M. The most pleasurable half hour wait...

Then comes the actual part of eating the cake, getting into the bus.. Its very simple.. you see it depicts "SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST"!!!! Apt for me at the moment.. I used all my strength and got into the bus and landed myself witha seat to sit.. I am good at it..

The bus started after fifteen more minutes.. Oh it was the best feeling in the world...

Moving bus, window seat... what more a luxury to devour the cake....A cherry on top, or chocolate sauce when you get a seat...That completes my cake...(Let that watery topping not drip on ma blog, for those cake lovers....:) )

Here I was loving the fact that I managed a seat snd was lookin out of the window..

What do you think I should see? ( Hold those imaginations right away... I don't want those wild horses galloping in the race....)

Our bus was just about leaving majestic. I turned to see a VOLVO next to our bus. In that bus I se this two couples. So what!!! Read on....

This girl is happily sleeping on the guy's shoulder, blissfully ignorant about the cake or the cream or the cherry theory!!! She is sleeping away to glory and that poor guy's hand was her pillow... And the same case with the couple in front of them ...

Some poeple have all the luck in the world!!!! And here I am bragging about my evening adventures......

Need I say more.....
