Two weeks that went by…………………..

……………was probably one of the most productive and satisfying periods of my life!!!!

Firstly, I got a job and that too without giving any interview. Which was actually very good coz writing my CV was proving to be very depressing!!!!!
I suddenly realized that I didn’t have any talent in me!!!!!!!!
But then I found a way around this feeling………it simply meant that I had not thought enough of my talents…….. hey I can totally gossip, I can absolutely convince confused people about things that they reassurance about, I can actually do many things that I thought that should not be mentioned in my CV but then a royal peep into other people’s CV taught me the basic rules of boasting in a CV!!!!!!!
And I can now proudly say that I have totally learned and mastered the art!!! Lol…

Secondly, I had a very beautiful realization!!!!!!!
Just 2 weeks in office has taught me sooooo much that I feel those 5 years in college has been wasted. Well not wasted exactly, coz I made gr8 friends, I have some of the best memories of sooooo many incredible incidences……………and the list will go on…. but the list comprises of mainly many personal and social experiences…………….academically zero!!!!!!!
This might be a little exaggeration ………but then this exact sentiment was echoed by one of my professors when I was in college………so I don’t think that later on I would actually want to change my statement!!!!!

Thirdly, I made a record of eating ice cream!!!!!!!
On my b’day my bosses ordered for boxes of ice cream. And since they didn’t no what flavor I liked they ordered one box of their choice and another box of chocolate almond!!!!!!!!!!!
So after lunch 5 of us took charge of the ice cream and eat more ice-cream than our lunch!!!!!! With a totally full stomach, and no 1 in a mood to work we had a gala time later…par afsos….. a deadline had to be caught-up with and work had to be resumed!!!!!!

It was soooo cool to be working on my b’day!!!! I had absolutely no problems!!!!!!! And if I get paid for my work………..it would really be fantastic month for me!!!!
[This business abt not being paid for work is what us architects face all our lives, so there is absolutely no need for anybody to get scandalized!!! We all eventually learn to live with scarcity of money and constant cribbing……heheheheheh……..hard facts of my life………]

And yes……………MY BLOG JUST TURNED 1………………my baby is 1 year old… I still can’t believe it…………..
All in all life seems to be treating me very well!!!! And with this festive season of
Diwali, how in the world can anyone feel depressed!!!!


YA……….but just 1 complain………..dnt light crackers which create tooo much of air, sound and paper pollution!!!!!

Its really bad coz I have just realized that my windowsill has a thin layer of dust collected on it………….and, which I suspect, is the residue of the gunpowder used in crackers. PLZ stop this noise. Take an oath, as some of the schools have made their students undertake it, that I would not light crackers in any form, instead would donate the money to the needy!!!!!!!!!

Now that would be a good way to start a New YEAR!!!!!

Happy Diwali and a Prosperous New Year!!!!!!

Matchsticks and 3-year olds!!!

How can you explain the sight of a 3-year old girl with a matchbox and happily lighting matches one-by-one, waiting patiently till each matchstick had burnt out till the end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am still shocked!!!!! I had gone for a walk in the evening because it was so pleasant out-sides, but the effect turned out to be more unpleasant than ever!

Matchboxes are definitely not toys and are NEVER to be given to kids. But here was this sight, which so shocked me that I almost stood there and ended up shamelessly staring at her!!!!!

As I got over the sight I was looking around if she was accompanied by anyone. And then I spotted her…………………….her mother happily leaning on the gate and chatting in a very embarrassingly loud voice with god-only-knows-whom!!!! I seriously felt like screaming and asking that stupid woman whether she was aware with what her kid was up to!!!!

Careless women!!!!

And here is the best part……………….that little girl had such a flawless action of lighting the matchstick that you could obviously conclude that this action was regularly performed by her. To top it all she was practically throwing lighted matchsticks on road, which was liberally littered with dry leaves and paper or all the stuff, which could have easily caught fire!!

I can’t understand how could anyone allow such profanity to happen. Simply shows the lack of civic-sense in that so-called adult who obviously looked like her mother!!!!!!! The sight was so disturbing that my entire evening was practically ruined by this thought. Besides the thoughts about how efficient the girl was with lighting the matchsticks, another thought suddenly surfaced.

Last year, I happened to watch a particular episode of the Oprah Winfrey Show, which highlighted the bride-burning phenomenon in India. And they showed many clips of women in hospital beds, moaning in pain and I should think practically waiting and hoping to die!!!

The sight and the cause of their state were extremely disturbing to watch. And yesterday all of a sudden that very particular episode, complete with all the visuals and sounds [that too in minute detail] were replayed in my mind!!!!!!!!

I can’t think of a direct connection with between these two incidents, but maybe the direct relation of flame and carelessness put such thoughts in my head. Another disturbing thought put in my head, which lasted till I forced myself to stop thinking and sleep.

I sincerely hope that such acts of carelessness are never repeated. Because, god-forbid, if anything goes wrong the whole family would have to face a serious trauma besides the injured person!! And here I am not even talking about the amount of physical pain! And even if people are not bothered about such acts……….I hope that I would henceforth learn to ignore such things. To simply keep my sanity safe and sound.
