I had started around 8:30 from office, with a faint hope that I could be counted among those hallowed lucky drivers who consider themselves intelligent enough to avoid peak hour traffic on Mumbai roads. But as usual, I was proved wrong. It was a real bad traffic that evening. It took me an hour to reach Bandra Bridge and I was yet to do the regular ‘bumper to bumper crawl’ till the airport. One hour and fifty minutes later when I was at Malad signal, trying to change the CD, the incident happened. The pale green Hyundai...

I completed 1 year in the present organization. Last year 01 Dec when I joined, “Employee learning day” was being celebrated through quiz and other activities involving employees. This year alongwith the quiz, there was a competition on creative writing. The underlying theme was to bring out the imaginative person within. There were two topics to choose from, a funny/ silly incident in life OR the Cinderella story told by the ugly sisters. I had too many funny/ silly incidents in life and it was grossly...

The dim light hanging from the gazebo emphasized nothing but darkness. I could see her eyes, looking nowhere. I noticed she had a beauty spot below her lower lip on the left. The water in the swimming pool was dark, still and unwillingly reflecting the lights on the garden around. The guest rooms around the garden stood like mourning confidants, with a vow to stand by her. The painted glass of the dining hall windows was shining like tears. It was a dark & silent evening. I tried to converse, but did not know what to speak. Her father built this...

Am enjoying the new atmosphere at work, the drive to work, but not the drive back home. The people and the working environment are altogether different from what I have been into all these years. It’s a new experience. Most of my colleagues are highly qualified from great Institutions, sharp, intelligent and young. Was happy to note most of them are drinkers and generally good-humored. They work hard during work hours and change to a complete party animal in the evening. I found my buddy in Aniket, a big time OM drinker and a jolly good...

Its like two sides of a coin. High respect when shattered by distrust, transforms to enormous disgust, hatred and repulsion. Root of anger is always fear. An agnry man is afarid, he is weak. Eventually his fear will destroy him. Devil is in my side. Let God save the weaker soul. http://flyingelephant.blogdrive.com/comments?id=17 http://flyingelephant.blogdrive.com/archive/15.html Thu, 02 Nov 2006 07:20:28 GMT Off late, I remember this song of Bob Dylan. Come gather 'round people Wherever you roam And admit that the waters Around you have grown And accept it that soon You'll be drenched to the bone. If your time to you Is worth savin' Then you better start swimmin' Or you'll sink like a stone For the times they are a-changin'....... Two years back I landed in Mumbai with a vision. After two years I have lost faith on the same, which has compelled me to change. I am leaving this job. I don't want to look back, just go ahead. And junk the emotional garbage.I had taken a decision two year ago,...

Thanks, they have not deactivated my account or it has not been plagiarized. I got little dejected with life and work after landing in Mumbai. I actually thought I will never ever be able to write here again and eventually almost forgot that I had a blog. Probably, I have lost all my blogger friends in the last two years, who used to comment on my silly posts. I just hope they come back to me. Life is a nice surprise always and I am back now. Lets me try to stop and think about the change happened in last two years. Quite a bit f change- I have...

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf...

My present life does not allow me to surf, chat, blog. I am missing my blogger friends, while I am away from the blog world. I am in the real world and reality bites. I start my day at 7:00 AM rush to the railway station in 10 mins in my bike, then climb the stairs of the overbridge in 3minutes to catch the 7:24 Churchgate fast. I f I miss that I am screwed for the rest of the day. This is Bombay. Run. Run. Run. I can’t drive to office all the 40 kms more due to my back pain while driving in a snails speed on my way back home than the reason I...

The distance between the two cities is only 960 kilometres. I need an increment ! http://flyingelephant.blogdrive.com/comments?id=11
