Funny Side Up...

201 : TOW The Puncture..... There are many things happening around me that i could have written about in my blog regularly.... but being derived from the base class ' LAZY ', there isn't a data member ' m_ExtraWork ' in my class.....That kept me away from blogging for almost a year.... What then prompted me to override 'void Relax() ' with ' void Blog() '???It was this exceptionally funny incident that took place yesterday, 23rd August, involving Vishal . On Sat. 23rd Aug, me n Vishal started at 7.00 am towards Kothrud, to play cricket with office colleagues.... As we were passing the new stadium for the Commonwealth Youth Games (CYG) on the highway, Vishal's bike got punctured....I got off and Vishal decided to return and get Minal's Scooty. As I waited, Vishal called me and said he had found a tyre repair shop not far from where we were, and was getting the puncture removed. Since I was getting bored, I decided to go there myself.......

I am back....after almost 11 months, I decided to restart the task of writing about petty things in life....things about which other people won't even give a tiny rats ass.....but hell...who cares???I like banging my fingers on the keyboard, and I am gonna do it fairly frequently now..... so...prepare for the second season of Funny Days.... I'll try to make them Funnier Days..... :D

104 - TOW The Workaholic Me Well, the title to the post (and also my orkut display name) is justified by the fact that i posting here after a gap of more than 1 month.... In my last post, i mentioned my schedule.....well, soon after i posted it, my timetable went for a toss...training began to get extended, tests started becoming exceedingly tough.....no gym, swimming pool seemed non-existent and tennis was out of question.... My primary goal was redefined....going back to the basics....FOOD, CLOTHING AND SHELTER.... If this goes on, pretty soon i mite end up like this.... I made it a point to hv a heavy breakfast, coz lunch time was as fickle as the Indian cricket team's form....1.30...2...2.30....sumtimes no lunch at all...just a sandwich....I even had tough time finding some moments to grab a cup of coffee(yes...even though its free, i didnt drink much...)...and dinner was just like a midnight snack.... Here, I can't resist quoting a dialog from Andaz Apna Apna..... "A...

103 - The One With My Routine Every1 who understands cricket , would know that after the initial jittery start, once the batsman is set, he can play a very long innings in the middle....For me, this was only partially correct...It seemed that i was into my groove right from the beginning...Immediately from the 2nd day, i had started Gym, n had begun to plan my days ahead... Here's what i came up with...my schedule... I report to work daily at 9.45..(yaa...late as usual...)undergo training as decided....hv lunch at 1.30,...then again training, then get free at 6.30 pm.... Ofcourse..the training comes with a couple of nice coffee breaks....After that, on Mon-Wed-Fri, i workout in the gym.... on other days, i do Cardio or swimming....Weekends i hv decided to keep for relaxing or visiting home @ Mumbai...apart fm that, after I get home, theres hardly nething to do except watch TV, Orkutting or writing such silly posts.... So, lets c how much of my routine i stick to in the coming days...

102 - The One Where My Training Begins (Music.... Long Frame shot of GEOMETRIC, pan in.... Abhijit walking in.... Music....) My second day started in the least unexpected way.... I had decided that I'd join the company Gym that day, so had packed in soame workout clothes n sport shoes for myself...so me n Vishal had decided that we'd take the Scooty , n store the stuff in its bootspace , but to our dismay...(actually, dis is July)...the scooter was badly punctured....so we were delayed a bit....but we switched to Vishal's bike n scooted off to work... Vishal dropped me off, and I reached just on time.... My schedule was 9.30 to 6.30 training, with a lunch break in between. I thought it was gonna be really hectic n taxing ...especially coz i had a gr8 track record of attending college with similar timings...n trust me, when i did attend, i felt like i was getting tortured...(i hope my profs. dont read this...). My training in the first week was supposed to be on C++, n...

101 - The One About My First Day... (Before u start, i would like to mention that this is a hybrid post between F.R.I.E.N.D.S . and Scrubs , title is like the former, while i m visualizing myself as if i m narrating this in a Voiceover , just like J.D . of Scrubs ...) Monday, 23rd July, 2007, a major landmark in my life.... its my first day of professional life...I joined GEOMETRIC SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS LTD.......... ( dont get surprised...i was supposed to join TCS on 8 th Aug, but this offer came up n was difficult to say 'no' to...)..Many of my friends know i always wanted to join GSSL ... n so, there I was, being a part of my dream company as a fresher...... My first day was quite an experience in itself....I was required to report @ the Agra Fort Bldg..(yea, these ppl @ Geometric hv got strange nomenclature...gets even bizarre ahead...) at 9.30 am. After signing in at the reception, I waited for the recruitment manager to show up. The receptionist informed him abt my a...

Friday saw the release of Harry Potter's 5th movie, The Order of Phoenix...Rated as perhaps one of the best adaptation of a book into a movie, The Harry Potter series has taken the world by storm...but for me, I have never been intrigued by the notion... I havn't read a single Harry Potter book, nor hv seen any of its previous movies....But that was all about to change.... coz Minal got us tickets to watch the 5th movie....@ Pune's E-Square... For Vishal, he had a general background of the story of Harry Potter.... Aakash n Minal, both avid Potter fans, had dragged him to previous 2 movies..... n now it was my turn... So Aakash n Minal gave me a general outline of the story n whats been cooking in wizard land..... I got hooked on to the concept, and so was watching the movie with some interest, with Aakash helping me fill in the blanks... I also came to know how much ppl love their young wizard boy... The theatre was filled with applauses n whistles when something happen...
