And the caterpillar left its cocoon...

It is now time for this caterpillar to shed its cocoon and enter a new phase of life as a butterfly. And as this transformation takes place, my habitat has changed.

I had a wonderful time blogging here and hope my new transit also is equally exciting.... :)

Truth Triumphs

Two days back a wonderful news made my day… When I joined my current company, I was very apprehensive while joining my first project. It was a domain which I didn’t have any knowledge about and with people whom I had never interacted with. But my team leader was a very understanding person, she not only gave me time to adjust to the domain, but would patiently answer all my doubts. Even if that meant working a little late than the scheduled time… Time and again I used to badger her with questions and she would patiently explain me.. And the more she explained, the more curious I became.We shared a good camaraderie till I got transferred to another project. What I took back from my earlier project was a mentor, a person whom I could relate to, no matter what my query was, personal or professional. Never had I seen such dedication and sincerity, especially in an industry where working on weekends seemed like a sin and working beyond scheduled hours a torture. Here was a person, who didn’t work, coz she was getting paid for it, but worked coz she revered her work. It was not mere duty for her, but was passion. Her dedication and work became a milestone for people like me and a sense of threat for peers. We live in an age, where competition doesn’t mean using your abilities to its best, a sense of healthy competition is almost dead....What remains back is a puddle of dirty politics and scandals… And the same thing started showing its hood… But with truth as her tool, my friend (I have the liberty to say so) went ahead, untouched by politics and undeterred by comments…. She worked coz; she loved her work and didn’t bother about reactions… Finally, her will power and hard work was noticed and she was awarded with a performance award. The moment I saw her name in the list, tears brimmed my eyes… Here was a lesson which I needed to learn, never give up... She never expected any rewards for her work nor did she bother when she got one.. I was touched by her magnanimity when she said that the award belonged to all the three of us who worked hard as a team and not to a single individual… I wrote her a lengthy mail, appreciating her work and I got back a reply saying, what I treasure is not my award but your sentiments for me. I am happy I got this award, coz, this way I could understand ur feelings and respect for me. That is my award.. Gosh!! In this selfish world, there are still people u can look upto and revere…


A Lesson worth learning and remembering….. Truth does triumph…Proud of u my friend…

Waitin for a Better Day!!!

I just had one of those worst days when everything goes wrong. It’s a Monday evening and I am dead exhausted. All day I have just been troubleshooting and trying to bring my dead servers up. At the end of the day all my work goes to dumps, as an electrical maintainence routine starts up and all servers automatically switch off with a *pop* sound….

It took me a lot of patience to keep quiet and maintain my cool today. It becomes really irritating when people try to sit on your head when there is a problem situation. Huh!! Neither do they understand the problem nor do they help solve it, they are however gracious enough to add salt and pepper to it. At the end of the day, I do not see any valid work going down my day, it looks like 9 hours of complete wastage.. I hate it when time gets wasted and nothing fruitful comes up. There was this senior of mine at college who used to always advise me that sometimes u need to just simply do nothing and it still feels very good. Hmmm.. Maybe I should give some thought to doing *nothing*.. 

I had a wonderful weekend as promised, I didn’t get a chance to watch the movie, but watched some amazing stuff in TV.. Cooked some yummy curry and rotis.. One of those days when my dad gets astonished to see me in the kitchen…Actually shocked is the word..  Sunday was even better..I lazily slept around the whole day, read some books, listened to music….Fun!!! I was very very fresh when I came in the morning.. And there goes my freshness withering away in the server room!!!

Hmmm… Wish tomorrow would be a better time…. “A New Day will come”….

A New Day Has Come

Finally a rather busy phase comes to an end and I am free ( longing to be one) and so time to plan new stuff.... I really want to do something exciting this weekend.. Lets see, plans still under construction... And while I was busy burying myself in my monitor screen, world around me seems to have changed, for the good of course... It is finally the end of the year...Time just flew away so fast....Doesnt seem that it is already a year done....So here comes time for confessions and retrospections...Time to look back and learn all our merits and mistakes..Time to forgive and ask for forgiveness...Time to wait for a new dawn, of resolutions and promises...
*Sigh!!! Things look so blurry at the end of the year.... nevertheless, the fun part of it awaits us...so fasten ur seat belts people, here comes a new leap into a dawn of joys and promises... :)

It just seems yesterday when I came back with all my "boriya" from Pune... A final good bye to my much enjoyed *hostel* life... The past 5 years of my life have been the best and the worst part of my life... I know thats AntiThesis but a memorable experience... It was worth the risk that I took... Someday I am gonna actually put all my memorable incidents during my hostel life into words and I am gonna title it as " A Rendezvous with Life" .... Hmm..One more task attached to my TO-Do List... Thats one list, which I start making at the start of the year, and never manage to finish it... :(

I heard a very beautiful song from Con Air this week "How do I live without u".... Simply amazing.... Its been a while since I heard a real melodious song. Today I decided to tidy things up and cleared up organised all my files and folders...such a painful task...

1 more hour before I leave for a happy weekend..... Might watch Om Shanti Om with friends this week... I am a bit curious of the 70's style....

Cheers!!!
