Usually its supposed to be one of the better days in the week but this Friday sucked big time. Reason: I just cant remember exactly but im sure it sucked !
Workwise, I was almost jobless…almost..but then it was not to be. This was the weekend day by day
Monday: there were no blues at all…not on this Monday especially since I was just back after writing my CATR exams which indeed made me surprisingly happy. Who knows … u guys mite sent ur resumes to me some day :p. jokes apart…I was pretty excited coz of an event that was supposed to happen the next day. It was a part of the 25th year celebrations. I’ll tell u more on that on Tuesday J. Comin back to Monday, it started well with a wonderful plate of idli sambaar and vada(donno what u call a vada in hindi…#@#$). At office I was welcomed by some work in microsoft technologies like excel n powerpoint. At around 1700hrs that day I left my desk. We had practice for the function tomorrow. Practice sessions have been real fun. It’s a nice group…like most groups there are assholes, sweethearts,cute faces and then chill buddies too. The practice went upto 0300hrs Tuesday morning.
Tuesday: it started of by us practising. Slowly the tension was growing into the group and people started takin out their frustrations. It was fun in a way…fun as in when we see something that we did expect and it was happening in a very smooth manner. As the time went by, there were some people getting real bossy and some totally getting angry n aggressive on those bossy ones. It seemed that few of us wanted to be in the front row of the dance but they were not getting ample oppurtunities. Some even threatened to backout form the dance…some did and so it was a tense beginning to the final day. I guess I forgot to mention the size of the group. It was about 20 finally. It started out with around 32J and so one can imagine the banter and the gossip mongering and the back scratching that would have and did happen :p as ususal I got to meet a set of people and needless to say I could stretch my list of unique homosapiens a little more J.
About the event: it was the beginning of the 25th year celebrations in pune. And there is a cultural group called Abhivyakti here whose members are the above mentioned group. Now we were practising for this event for the last 3 months…I know that’s surprising…the thing was that the actual ocassion for the dance was not the 25th year celebration. It was to be much much before but it kept getting postponed. Neways it was finally looped in for the 25th year celebs.
Needless to say the event was a real nice one. Not much issues in the execution. Everyone were basking in its glory for a couple of days after that too…u know the usual stuff…u get recognised in the foodcourt or on ur way to the bank or some crap like that. Make su feel special. So that was a good experience.
At this point I shud say that the only reason I actually became a part of that group and stuck till the end was because of one cute face in that group. Raher let me put it this way. There was one face that pulle dme initially to the group and then that face became real close and then we were around 4-5 people in the group who gelled real well. So there…
Wednesday: Pass. It was bad .dont want to remember. Work was really buggin me and I was too tired. Saw Don at office for sometime. Actually till the Kaike paan banaraswala song got over.
Thursday: screw it. There was one silver lining that day. There was a live show by Shaan at infy as a part of the 25th year celbs. It was awesome man. I reiterate the fact that this guy has some talent in him. Like he sang continous for about 3-4 hrs without even havin a soda in between man.atleast I dint c him having one. And the songs were fabulous. At the end I got to shake hands with shaan…big deal J The above mentioned group went out together for Thursday. I indulged in some totally harmless healthy organic flirting …that’s how the day ended !
Friday: I was happy it was a the beginning of the end of the week. Also it was an onsite holiday ..thnx to thanksgiving. So there was supposed to be no work at all. But hell was I wrong. At this point I have to mention that my current PM is a lady(no offence ladies but this one is indeed a unique one!!) who tries very hard. Its not a bad trait nut then again it doesn’t make sense following the white book of rules everytime a situation arises. There is always ‘another way out’. Since it was thanksgiving at onsite, we cud not call up neone there and so our lady started using her head. Again no offence ladies but using a ladies imagination to create a few bottlenecks that could pop up in her imaginative crisis situations was a little too much for me and the rest of the team. Rest of the team here refers to just another guy. We are just 3 of us nowJ It sure was a small but definitely unhappy family. Unfortunaltely for me it is this lady to whom I have submitted my appraisal forms and so I was kinda bound by it as the results have not yet come. Going by this ladies imaginative capabilities I dint want to imagine where I would end up in case I messed with her in the last hour.
Here this lady was making scenario after scenario just when she suddenly had an appointment with the doctor. God bless medicine. Donno how this scenario popped up but the whole team was thankful for it J so she left early and so we were instructed to do som KM(knowledge management) activities. It sure was fun from there.
Saturday: dint have much plans but then again got an invite to go for this party - annual day @ Kanbay. Well..even though small in numbers when compared to infy, Kanbay sure has its good resources…if u know what I mean. I was all excited but then again as soon as I was about to indulge in some KM activities at the party(it was an open air location…), the rain gods interfered. But heck…the people there were already either too much into the party or toom drunk to realise this. They were still dancing away the nite on the floor in the rain. But that dint last long too. The rains got really violent. It would be unfair if I don’t mention that fact that the rains did result in some interesting sights for sore eyes.
It was just around 2100hrs and it was a Saturday nite and so it was too early to call it a nite. Now me n a friend of mine (whose invite I had for the party) thought of hangin out at some club here in pune. So needless to say we left that place n landed up at Le Meridian. It has a club called Scream(its not the heppest of clubs but then at times it did turn ot be one!) that nite there was a belly dancer in the house. Never seen one live n so we thought we’ll make merry there. The belly dance was cute and bloody flexible. We just dance the nite away.
Sunday: No idea when Sunday started. Was not in my senses.woke up late in the afternoon. Called up some cute faces and buddies. That was it.
