the time spend at home so far has been really good...training started here on a decent note...for some duration of the training i have to go to a place called Rithala...which is outer Delhi and like almost 40kms away from home...so i use the Delhi metro for travelling half the distance :) and it is an amazing ride...i believe as good as the ride in the metro/underground trains of singapore and co..

i ended up donating blood for one of my colleagues dad...as his dad had undergone a surgery...so it felt good to help out someone...

also saw presentation given by an army major to a grp of employees of my company..and wow..it was amazing...just as a piece of information...a lot of corporate entities in india now have sessions by army people on leadership/motivation and co...because so far the indian army has been rated as one of the most successful organizations in the country...

I also met about 10 of my school friends last sunday at Priyas...and it was a nice get together afte a long long time...some of my friends are going to US for their higher studies...so it was nice to sit..talk..n gossip about what all has been going on in our lives for the last few yrs...

this is it for now.....

hope u all having a good time...

cheers!!

the trust vote

Tomorrow the Govt of India faces a trust vote in the parliament for going ahead with the nuclear deal with the US....

For those of you who arent aware of what a trust vote is..it means the govt has to prove a 50% + majority in the Parliament to stay in power or India heads for another round of elections soon....

I was watching TV on sunday and the news channels were all abuzz with the 123 agreements, the IAEA safeguards draft agreement, the Hyde Act etc....and then they went on to interview the youth of the nation to hear their views on the nuclear deal and related stuff...

so the news channel reporter went to all these hip n happening places to meet with these cool looking dudes and dudettes and asked them....

Reporter : Are you aware of the nuclear deal...
Cool dude (wearing shades): What nuclear deal??? (The reporter should ve slapped him there)

Reporter : What is the NPT...
Cool dudette: Nuclear...no...Non..proli....profoli.....whats the word?? (No comments)...

Reporter : Do you know what the Hyde Act is??
Group of girls: NO...we dont read newspaper...

Reporter: Are you aware of IAEA??
Cool Dude: No...what is it???

Reporter: Do you know what the 123 agreement is??
Cool Dude 3: thinks for 5mins...stares here n there...we supply uranium....(no comments again)...


cheers to the enlightened youth of this country!!!!

It’s all in the SMS

As published in all leading dailies in India...

Txt appeal: It’s all in the SMS

London: Here’s a little tip for men: It’s not your chat up lines that will make the ladies flock to your side, but your texting prowess. According to a new poll, men whose texts are both witty and wise are the one most likely to get the thumbs up from those lovely ladies. And if you think that this is all hogwash, well then you better think again for as it turns out, more than three in four women are likely to judge a man character simply by the way he sends his text messages.
This in turn, is due to the fact that almost nine in 10 girls prefer to swap texts than talk on the phone after exchanging numbers with men they’re interested in, reports the Daily Star.
Researchers have identified four different styles of texting, from the slightly raunchy “Russell Brand”, and the gushing “Words-Worth”, to the short and sweet “Bond”, and the childish “Symbol Simon”. Three out of four women said the style their suitor adopted when communicating by text would play an important role in determining how they saw him.
Just over a third men, 34%, said they opted for the “Russell Brand”, sending witty, medium-length texts with a flirtatious use of innuendo.
Two thirds of women, 68%, said they would respond best to this style, provided it did not stray from flirty to dirty, which would turn 23% of them off.
A quarter of men opted instead for the ‘Bond’ — short, sweet and to the point, with no emotional giveaways. More than half of women, 56%, said they were neither shaken or stirred by this style, judging the man behind them to be unimaginative or lacking in personality.
Almost one in five men, 19%, went for the “Symbol Simon”, although 63% of women dismissed the use of abbreviated text language such as CU L8R as “childish” and “silly”. One third of them opted instead for the romantic “Words-Worth”, the overtly-romantic, lyrical style used by around 20% of men. On the other hand, 58% of women would see the man behind these texts as “desperate” or “needy”.

If the manmade spelling or grammatical errors in his text message, regardless of style, he would be chalked up as either lazy or less intelligent by 41% of women. Females, on the other hand, labour over their missives. More than three quarters, 76%, said they spent 15 minutes or more on a text and 38% said they would run it past their female friends before sending it.

The women taking part in the survey also confirmed what many men have long suspected: 63% deliberately delayed their response to a text for up to two hours in a bid not to appear needy.

William Ostrom of enquiry service 118118, which carried out the poll, said: “Paying attention to texting is important for single men as women place so much importance on it. “Texting has reached an incredible 15 million a day in the UK because it is less pressurised than a phone call, and allows people to have more control over what they say.” AGENCIES

Now all you guys tell me, does it really happen the same way here too??

the lonely airport road

the road to the old airport was deserted....the old airport..once the hub of activity in the city was all quiet...just like an graveyard...lost and forgotten....the new airport was now the upcoming part of the city...build to perfection..nearing almost all international standards...it was the pride of the city...

the pride of the old airport was almost fading away with no one walking the roads that led to the arrival and departure terminals...but in all this...it was one of the quietest place just a step away from the shimmering main road...a nice place to go and walk in the morning and evening...a nice place to sit in the green lawns and just get lost in your thoughts...a nice place to walk hand in hand with your loved ones.....

unlike his daily routine...today he came for the jogging a bit early...probably about 30mins early....the road was deserted...with just a few people lazing around here n there in the lawns surrounding the road...he started with the brisk walk....he walked the first lap pretty fast...he knew soon he would have to start the jogging....so on the second lap he started jogging....halfway through the lap he saw a girl also there doing a brisk walk...he could just see her from the corner of the eye as he had almost crossed her by the time he had noticed her....at the half way mark he turned around to see who she was.....so he jogged down slowly to catch a glimpse...but she was walking on the other side of the road....so he jogged faster to complete this lap and catch her on the next lap....

this time he slowed down his pace....he planned to cross her when she was under the street light so that he could get a good look at her....as he neared her...he saw her...she was just amazing...her hair..which was open...shinning black under the soft light of the neon light...kept coming in front of her face..but didnt bother her..as she neared the streetlight ...he saw her face...so soft and cute...and yet so simple...a bead of sweat just went down from her forehead as they crossed each other....he looked back....she just kept walking....he sped up...completed the lap and turned back again so that he could get a look at her again...

he turned and slowed down...this time he jogged back on the same side of the road...she had already started her walk back after completing her lap...he slowly jogged towards her so that the timing would be perfect when they cross each other under the street light..as they neared each other...she looked up...he was already looking at her..while jogging at his slowest...she saw him looking at her...he was taken aback...so he tried to look away...but then he saw her smile...and he looked at her again...she was smiling as she crossed him...he smiled back and kept jogging...

he sped up...he was smiling...he was happy...maybe he could see her smile again...he completed the lap and turned back....she hadnt turned back...she kept walking and turned into the colony gate...he saw her turn...he looked down..but he knew he had to complete the lap...so he slowly jogged to the end of the lonely road...as soon as he reached there...he took a deep breath and then when he turned...what he saw..made him smile...she was standing at the gate..she smiled...he was short of breath after the jogs..but managed to smile back...she turned and walked back home with a small dance step...he smiled and started walking back home...he knew he would see her tomorrow again...atleast he was hoping and praying he would....

the lonely airport road...wasnt lonely anymore :)

this is a pure piece of fiction

busy week so far

been some while since i updated the blog...its been a pretty hectic week....first i had to fly down to mumbai for a training review with the national sales head for my division..whicht went off pretty good..so far the top management was happy with my work....

met up engineering friend in mumbai and went off to have a few drinks...went off to this hotel called Bawa international to booze...it was good...the best part was roaming around in mumbai on my friends bike..although it had rained heavily in the morning and almost all of mumbai was at standstill...the next evening i met up with some of my mba friends in mumbai...and we all went out to have diner/drinks at apna dhaba in andheri east...btw that is the name of the restaurant..it felt good to be with friends after a long time....

next day i flew back to hyderabad aboard a Jet airways flight...and it was pretty interesting toward the end of the flight...i was on the last seat of the flight and when it landed, all the passengers had to deplane from the aero bridge in the front, the airhostesses standing at the rear exit started bitching about some other airhostess and it was pretty loud....all passengers in the last row could hear what was going on and it was pretty funny...as i thought i would be the last to deplane..i would tell the air hostess to be a little discreet about the bitching :D..but then the rear exit was opened up and my plan went awry..lol...

once back in Hyderabad, my colleague told me that we were going to Tirupati the same evening for conducting interviews the next day...so at 6pm i was in a train to Tirupati.. The train reached at 7am next day...and me and my colleague checked into the hotel...and rested for a while before the process started...the interview process was for sales executives and there was quite a crowd wanting to apply...so by 11 the process started..and for the first time in my life i was conducting gds and interviews for people..i mean more often than not i was the participant till date..so it was kinda weird..but good weird...we finished the interviews by 2.30pm..went back to the hotel...and relaxed for a while...the train back to Hyderabad was at 6pm...

reached back hyderabad at 7am today...went to the Guest house...slept for an hour and now i am back at work and blogging...lol

hope u all enjoying urself..cheers!!
