A few golden months ... end with... THE GOLDEN HANDSHAKE !!!!

As most of u wud b aware of the recent turn of events @ my workplace ... this is related to tht..

As the news broke a few cried... mood sad .. silent... i was still quite strong.. not a single change in emotion.. it felt as if nothing as happened... but.. as i went to the cafeteria.. and saw few mates.. KD, MY, AA, JM ... jst cudnt help it.. my eyes too went wet ..

aft a few dayz .. i think abt tht event.. and tht shows ... the bond tht happened between galileoiet's was quite strong... not only fellow institute-mates got closer.. but.. the entire bunch had regardless of institutes..

Let me try and say a few words abt my experience of past few months... golden months...

to strt vth the trainin programme... was mostly interacting vth institute mates and.. few others vn there was some difficulty... used to sit besides AA... and she resembles so much similar to my closest frnds... tht was really gr8.. her mannerisms .. fetish for shoes.. et al .. quite similar..

then.. 2nd in line was KD.. the common pt being pasion for F1... and.. then slowly vth MY .. as he shifted place to closer quaters and joined in the banter and DumC ...

frm the institute frnt.. was good pals vth only JT.. and others more like classmates .. but slowly and surely v also bonded fanstatically... PP.. AK .. BD(jain partner).. YS.. RD.. LK

and.. whu can 4get NC.. the sweet sista whu used to sit beside me and talk in terrible ascent and vth various noises lik "hoooh" .. et al.. hahahaha

and the man.. THE MAN... RK ... v hav taken his case rite left and center.. but hey.. the guy had left a distinct memory abt him.. no 1 wil ever 4get... and vthout him galileo wudnt b the same place..

the fighter JM.. was a character in himself... and so were others like YB,VV,RJ,DT,DK .. quite a gang..

then passing thru various sessions of DumC, cows & bull, excell games (LK is gonna write a book, 1001 games during turbulent times) , "Challo !!" chants, and smashes ... lastly came the GOLDEN HANDSHAKE !!

hmm... but ppl... 4get everything.. v had a gr8 time.. and whu said.. v wil not hav the same again... but yeh.. tht wil b not so often though..

till the next time galileoiet's (this is a suggestion by YS.. also our grp name has also chnged ;) ) meet...

KEEP ROCKING !!!

Meter Down !!.... on Corporate life !!

yeh... ppl.. look at the time of the post... i hav reached home from work jst 15mins back !! ... and it was 5th day @ work ... also... its jst the trainin vch is goin on!!!

the trainin program @ my 1st job seems quite exhaustive... vth tht also comes the various assignments, deadlines, et al...

so 2day (10th july) .. reached office at 10.30ish.. 30mins b4 time... wanted to giv final touches to the asssignment which was due @ 11am ... then.. the normal day.. sessions.. tp... etc etc... then v get an assignment vch is due next day at abt 3pm ... but.. also the other day v hav another assigment strtin frm 11ish vch has to b done in abt an 1-2hrs... so... if it strts a few hrs here and there.. then.. basically.. 1 can miss the 3pm deadline...

this went on .. and on.. and on.... finally finished at 2.10am.. luckily next drop was at 2.15am (otherwise wud hav to wait... there is a drop every 30mins) .. reached home... 2.55ish... and.. yeh let me tell u again.. its training vch is goin on...

wot has these 1st few dayz say...

1st.. timings of being bck home go for a toss... there is only fixed punch-in time... Corporate life..

2nd.. had my lunch at 1ish... then.. a few bites here and there... load of lemon tea and water.. and... @ nite... a whole packet of Hide & seek biscuit.. wasnt hungry but didnt realise i finished the entire packet while doin my stuff.... so complete mockery of eating habits and timings.. Corporate life..

3rd... on my way back.... completely disoriented... was finding it difficult to tel the driver way to my place... in between thot... the guy had drove past ghatkopar.. and went ahead... concentration gone for a toss... Corporate life ?!?!.. dnt knw..

1 this is for sure... its METER DOWN !!!!!!!!!!!
