Of the weekend when I was a kid again

I took the Friday off as I wanted to visit my Maasi and Naani in Meerut and boy was it the best leave I have ever taken!! The day started delightfully as I had SG's company on my bus ride to Meerut and it only got better from then. After a hearty lunch, which was specially prepared for me :) by my Maasi, it was time to relax. A mind-numbingly peaceful half an hour in the sunfed lawn at my Maasi's place felt so great that it brought a tear of joy to my bored-with-the-sight-of-computer-eyes. Pure ecstasy. Not to mention seeing my Naani after nearly 2 yrs was worth the visit alone.

Saturday was equally awesome as me Maasi and cousin went to see Yamla Pagla Deewana (hilarious!!). Guess Sunny Deol can even beat Rajnikanth when it comes to unreal action sequences!!

I was the youngest kid in Meerut, which made me feel wonderful. Guess that is why people need time off from work. To relax and come back happier.

As I got back home on Sunday, something even better was waiting, a game of FOOTBALL!! My first foray onto an actual pitch in nearly 7 months resulted in 3 assists and 4 goals!!

All in all it was a weekend like no other as I felt like a child again. The child who used to love going to Meerut and who used to play everyday during his vacations.

Felt wonderful. Felt delighted. Felt being a kid again. And simply loved it :D

Priceless is too small a word

There are good office days, there are bad office days and then there are days when it just doesn’t matter anymore. But there are also days where a few great moments blind everything out else in life, office or not. Just had those few great moments of my office life today. 

Sometimes you need to work overtime at office due to too much work. Ironically, that's when it hits me that that there's more to office than work. The people around me are simply awesome and it because of them that I can pull it off. Friday the 14th was a day that had everything - am email asking me to work on the weekend (and the cribbing that followed :p), an office lunch, some lovely ppl  walking up to my seat to chat :), and an email from my manager letting me know of a (female) neighbor :D coming to sit next to me next week.

But it all just fades in comparison to an impromptou photo session that captured my best time of the day - the post-lunch gupshup :) I know all too well that I will be working on the weekend. But I know what will get me through it.

So here's a big hug going out to the Ze Gang!!!

I wanna shriek

Something happened last week that reminded me of Kay Kay MenonÅ› loud shriek in Gulaal. He uses it to clear his system. I want to do that too. So here goes nothing:


AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
