Awesome.. No?

It's an awesome feeling when...

...You know people need you more than you need them but they will still pretend they're doing you a favour! You can see that look on their faces when you say you're not going to be there any more. That's when they wince and act like little puppies who've been devoid of any affection. They beg you to stay, you feel sad for them but you know you've got to go. Only, only if they'd not tried to be so cool!

...When someone who seems absolutely fancy to a whole bunch of mediocre people is insecure by your presence. They have this crazy need of TRYING to put you down. You know they're insecure coz anything you've done - they did it 700 years ago and 2000 times better. The moment you say something, they'll say "in my opinion..", except that you said 2+2 is 4!

...When people are not even convinced of what they believe in and yet they try to preach to you as if it were the gospel. It's just fun to sit back (preferably with a cold beer) and watch them rant on. Sooner or later they WILL contradict themselves and that's when you say, "But, I thought you said..." then sit back again and watch them trying to tell you why they were right both times even though what the said was different as day and night (get lots more of the cold ones!)

AWESOME!! Observe and see how good this feels!

HA!

3 Months, 3 Cities & 3 Jobs

March – Pune, EXL
April – Bombay, Maersk
May – Bangalore, Firstsource

I feel like a psychopath job hopper!

But I’ll be back in Bombay in July (hopefully). Living out of a suitcase sucks big time!

P.S. I'm also having to use G-Talk as an official communicator. Looks like facebook may not be far off. Seems Social networking/chatting will have the last laugh (sigh!).

The Lord Giveth..

She got into the bus - this gorgeous creation of God. As she walked down the aisle trying to find her seat I hoped she would be somewhere close to me.

Then she walked straight up to me (I was sitting to her right - which is an important detail at this stage) and said "You're on my seat". NOOOO!! I hurriedly pulled out my ticket and was sure that I was on the right seat (and did not want to argue with her either). My courageous side took over and I told her "No, this one is mine".

She turned her head and looked straight down the aisle and pointing to the guy sitting to my left, she said, "I'm talking to him"

She was cock-eyed!! Damn!

Our parallel lives

I started writing this post yesterday. Then I stopped, knowing how meaningless it is now. Today, I found it in my drafts and thought what the hell...

(Slightly edited version from the original)

I know this person who has always had this strangely parallel life to my own. When I achieved something, so did she. When she came up with a surprise, mine was already a day older. I got my first meaningful promotion and she got hers 15 days later.

No, it's not worth a discussion or a post.

Strangely, we're both from Pune, and right now in two different cities and will move to two absolutely different cities in less than 2 weeks (for a somewhat similar job).

I like not to think about things that are termed coincedental, but this has happened far too many times now.

P.S. I'm taking bets for tomorrow. Liverpool Vs. Chelsea. Liverpool wins 1-0. I must be really brave to believe in this and even so to fucking post it.
GO REDS!
