Aditi: pata nahin aunty yeh college ke paanch saal kaise nikal gaye?

Mom: beta phone par
----
Aditi: Amit mein yahan 2 min baith jaaoon?

Amit: Tera ghar hai, tere bumga hain baith ja

ROTFL!!!

other good thing about this movie is they have chosen amazing location probably the best use of the Maharashtra :) I have been to place where the group takes lift on a truck :)

I know I am plagirising the dialogues out of a movie without permission, but this is ok who knows which movie :P

Anyways South Africa drubs England again I like this.

Work is on but at snails pace, need to speed up Quick with patience.

6 months abstinence had its effect :) Who cares Do I need a reason? :P

Gyaan

dena is one such thing which I like :P. Now a days even the boss is also not spared leave aside other colleagues.

Making a few quick one short term decisions which could have long term implications.

"Recovery" is on, settling some old scores. Given the Huge Target and several constraints have to do things here and there.

Do work and think aloud & big.

Today the 20th July

nothing special about this one, except for today is rg's bday. It started as it does on every week day alarm, snooze, snooze and stop. Finally I got up & got ready. packed the bag went through the checklist, most importantly today I packed my lunch :D. Oh yes lunch cooked by yours truly. Was lucky got a taxi pretty soon who as usual charged me from 6AED instead of 3, doesn't matter as long as you are not baked in natural oven.

In the office it was freezing cold couldn't do much with the centralized AC as the switch/temperature control will be activated later. The nuances of moving into a building still undergoing finishing touches. Where there is a will there is a way. Open the two big windows and one door thats it natural heat will make it pleasent. So by 1 it was ok to sit down. Well today was a email day wrote and wrote n number of emails. Beacuse I didnt looked into my office emails over the weekend!!! (Good Job... Keep it up) so 3 days work in a day. Another hazard of moving in quickly in a new building. Everybody comes in to sell something or other people from stationary, computer accessories and even Hotels!!! good excuse is the key decision maker is not here so give me yor card I will ask him to call you once he comes back.

Lots happening in Jaipur. Dad is to move to some other place transfer etc.... people read a lot into many different things. Our tenant in jaipur somehow scared with this :P Its 8:30 and I am done with dinner and finishing the blog too. I think you can not ask for anything beter :P

Cheers mate!!

Good Luck to me.

Indulgence!!!

What else it could be.

Alone in Dubai at home (my boss has gone to India-Singapore trip for 10 days). Cooking the best possible North Indian stuff.... Dal Tadka :P It is one of my top preparations
to date. Eat this with Arabian Bread or our Own plain dosa :P.

But the real Indulgence is Pineapple pastry and the Blackforest Pastry. Top it up with the Raj Kachori at Bikanervala all these spiced up with Bikaneri Bhujia. Good Old mango juice is always there. What else you can ask for. Muwaaaaahhhh. When I was in Bombay we (Myself & Mr. Sharma, Mandawar waale) had Paani poori or Gol gappe after a very long time.

Well my Bombay trip was the foodie trip. Amars- Mango Shake, Classic- Dahi poori, Naturals- Ice cream and Paani Poori at one of those restaurants opp Naturals And finally the MEETHA PAAN in HN near these rest's. Didn't do specials in Jaipur except for my mom made lovely food.

I am a foodie. Sometime I will put this as tag line "Hum kamate kyon hai? Khane ke liye"

I am alone feeling very lonely today :( reading Da Vinci Code is further worsening the case. Around 11:15 somebody rang the bell at the door and I was scared to..... as who could be at this ugodly hour but didn't answered and through the glass saw a delivery man but didn't opened sp that delivery man (shabbily dressed) went away. I am still scared.

Nothing is going my way and I am making it worse for my self. Searing heat in Dubai. I am spending almost 1 hr plus in Sun at 11:00 in afternoon to search for a taxi. :( Someday things will change and for those I will have to change.

Change in travel plans. all trips now shifted to August.

Cheers

Jaane tu Ya Jaane Na.....

After a long time I am watching a movie.... I liked the smile on the face of Aditi when she says I broke up with Sushant. That simply explains...... or rather put together my old theory!!! :)

anyways let me continue with the movie.... it is interesting though a plot tried to put differently but nice. Paresh Rawal is too cool...

But how could they do this.... something better could have been done I cannot think of it but......

anyways I need observation and loads of luck!!

Music: Old Songs: my middle school days

Product of Environment

I don't want to be the product of environment rather my environment be my product. But these days the reverse is happening. my actions are shaped by the environment. My reactions knowingly or unknowingly bear an influence of the sourroundings or environment I have been living/working in (read as working in). I think I need a break from this quick change in the activities which I do (Read Home-office-Home or Travel-meeting-work-travel). Need to get involved in something different. Lets see next Wednesday I have second driving license test and if I get this time I plan to drive around Dubai whole of Fridays & Saturdays and at least explore UAE.

Anyways news from the office is I made the record again lets see for how long it holds.... at least a month. Tomorrow for sure 6 o'clock I will leave the office and will do something (may be gym or read a novel or screening).

Went to India last week. I will rate this as the worst trip back home (even those two month , during college days, stay was much better...). The flights I had booked for Jaipur-Mumbai and back were canceled and then a day before when I was supposed to leave the things went in other direction as much as they could seeking a good lot help from me. Some discussions and then I missed the flight, I was sleeping in the business class lounge, paid 200AED for next flight. Again some discussions and lots of heat being generated here and there with no mistake of mine. Just that nothing was in my hand I was a mere puppet of my environment. I tried to do my best but people don't understand. Sometimes reasoning doesn't work and you suffer unnecessarily.

Communication the key aspect was missing and lots of resistance had its effect. And everybody made best of this opportunity to make most of it and poor me was at the receiving end. The chain reaction effect of this was seen the whole week, how much I tried to extinguish the fire but nothing helped and finally I gave in. Now I don't know how things are going to shape up.

Actually sometimes you give the gyaan someone and at othertimes the same someone gives the same gyaan back :). Had long talks with Sharad over coffee etc...... and met him after almost a year.

Couldn't see Ms. Shah this time and many others whom I had promised to meet. As a wise investor met the concerned people. Went to Naturals @HN and as usual paid for the ice-cream remembered Pranav when I saw the Great Punjab on the otherside of road.

Well all said and done I have put my pitch and now have to do lots of ground work and take help from many others and put in the best, rest is all.......

Wish me luck for many things..... and I need a lots.

Cheers
Tyson
