Arbit thoughts
Mez back.
you after a long long time back here.
Its been a long long time when I wrote naything about well anything.
And right now some 4767869867457 thoughts are crossing my mind about which i wanna write but i guess I will stick to my favourite thing, cribbing.
Yeah yeah, I know I know 90% of the time am ranting and raving about some or the other thing which is wrong with me or with things around me or something like that.
so why differ this time. Well this post is dedicated to all the people who, ummmm......., well you will get the picture a little later.
Well have you ever been told by a person in your your office to keep it down or your home to keep it down or even in the cafeteria to keep it down.
Well with me, its almost a daily affair.
Just now a jerk(in my office) asked me to "keep it down" (when so many other people are actually shouting at the same decibels or more. Well these are the time I really feel that the whole world is conpiring against me). Any ways so this dude in his "oh so charming" ( well that what he thinks) way told me that we have calls and its disturbing and yada yada yada.......
And its not just today that its like this I am told to keep it down at home, at cafetaria even in the bathroom.
Cummon man gimme a break. Is this some kind of "morcha" people are taking out against me.
I mean there are other people go on talk to them tell them to shut up.
Why can't people stand a girl in a good mood,rather anyone in a good moood.
Why are people so hell bent on making everyone irritated like them.
Well I think it with the fact that everyone has likes to get into majority so the good mood guys try to spread by being hilarious and loud whereas the bad mood guys try and get majority by spreading their.
Thats it!!! that's the whole idea.
So the way to beat it isnot to let the opposition get into majority ( Man!! I can solve nay bloody problem).
So from now on people might ask me to keep it down but... welll they'll see :)

A letter from Bhagat singh
When everyone in this country is thinking about their own selfish motive and propogating them shamelessly in front of the whole of 1 Billion+ population here is a letter from a great leader who not only had the guts to dream but also the determination of making those dreams a reality, not for himself but the genration to come.
The future generation of his own motherland.
This should be read to alll the CPM leaders and so called cuurent "leaders" of the country when they are making all sorts of ruckus in the parliament and not letting the country head decide in the favor of the country's welfare.
To:The Punjab Governor
Sir,
With due respect we beg to bring to your kind notice the following:
That we were sentenced to death on 7th October 1930 by a British Court, L.C.C Tribunal, constituted under the Sp. Lahore Conspiracy Case Ordinance, promulgated by the H.E. The Viceroy, the Head of the British Government of India, and that the main charge against us was that of having waged war against H.M. King George, the King of England.
The above-mentioned finding of the Court pre-supposed two things:
Firstly, that there exists a state of war between the British Nation and the Indian Nation and, secondly, that we had actually participated in that war and were therefore war prisoners.
The second pre-supposition seems to be a little bit flattering, but nevertheless it is too tempting to resist the desire of acquiescing in it.
As regards the first, we are constrained to go into some detail. Apparently there seems to be no such war as the phrase indicates. Nevertheless, please allow us to accept the validity of the pre-supposition taking it at its face value. But in order to be correctly understood we must explain it further. Let us declare that the state of war does exist and shall exist so long as the Indian toiling masses and the natural resources are being exploited by a handful of parasites. They may be purely British Capitalist or mixed British and Indian or even purely Indian.
They may be carrying on their insidious exploitation through mixed or even on purely Indian bureaucratic apparatus. All these things make no difference. No matter, if your Government tries and succeeds in winning over the leaders of the upper strata of the Indian Society through petty concessions and compromises and thereby cause a temporary demoralization in the main body of the forces. No matter, if once again the vanguard of the Indian movement, the Revolutionary Party, finds itself deserted in the thick of the war.
No matter if the leaders to whom personally we are much indebted for the sympathy and feelings they expressed for us, but nevertheless we cannot overlook the fact that they did become so callous as to ignore and not to make a mention in the peace negotiation of even the homeless, friendless and penniless of female workers who are alleged to be belonging to the vanguard and whom the leaders consider to be enemies of their utopian non-violent cult which has already become a thing of the past; the heroines who had ungrudgingly sacrificed or offered for sacrifice their husbands, brothers, and all that were nearest and dearest to them, including themselves, whom your government has declared to be outlaws. No matter, it your agents stoop so low as to fabricate baseless calumnies against their spotless characters to damage their and their party's reputation. The war shall continue.
It may assume different shapes at different times.
It may become now open, now hidden, now purely agitational, now fierce life and death struggle. The choice of the course, whether bloody or comparatively peaceful, which it should adopt rests with you. Choose whichever you like.
But that war shall be incessantly waged without taking into consideration the petty (illegible) and the meaningless ethical ideologies. It shall be waged ever with new vigour, greater audacity and unflinching determination till the Socialist Republic is established and the present social order is completely replaced by a new social order, based on social prosperity and thus every sort of exploitation is put an end to and the humanity is ushered into the era of genuine and permanent peace. In the very near future the final battle shall be fought and final settlement arrived at.
The days of capitalist and imperialist exploitation are numbered. The war neither began with us nor is it going to end with our lives. It is the inevitable consequence of the historic events and the existing environments. Our humble sacrifices shall be only a link in the chain that has very accurately been beautified by the unparalleled sacrifice of Mr. Das and most tragic but noblest sacrifice of Comrade Bhagawati Charan and the glorious death of our dear warrior Azad.
As to the question of our fates, please allow us to say that when you have decided to put us to death, you will certainly do it. You have got the power in your hands and the power is the greatest justification in this world. We know that the maxim "Might is right" serves as your guiding motto. The whole of our trial was just a proof of that. We wanted to point out that according to the verdict of your court we had waged war and were therefore war prisoners. And we claim to be treated as such, i.e., we claim to be shot dead instead of to be hanged. It rests with you to prove that you really meant what your court has said.
We request and hope that you will very kindly order the military department to send its detachment to perform our execution.
Yours,
BHAGAT SINGH

Some arbit junk
Well its been a crazy month.
Ever since I returned from US the work has been justa bsolute crazy. working from 11 to 11 and then going back and working till 7 in the morning ( Fine it was just one day but still i worked from 11 to 11 reguarly) but I finally took out some time and bought a novel on15th august.
And that was not just any novel its was the novel by Shoba de rather "The shobha de".
The much coveted writer, The total authority on high society and page 3 fudas with a masters rather Phd on celebritieism (people who are shobha de's fan kindly stop here the next few paragraphs are no sugar for you, other can also stop here 'coz hereon are just my rantings agaisnt something. All those who wanna hear the rantings may proceed)
Anyways I bought the novel just to get a flavour of her writing and trust i8t left a reall bad taste in my mouth.
The story basically revolves around some 5 friends. one of them, who by the way is hell rich and is a great celebrity (and here we go with the whole celebrity thingy), want to meet the rest. The rest, not being in any way fond of her, still go and meet her and there starts all the drama of recollections, memories and reminiscences which none of them cherishes or relishes but yet all of them just coax each other for more.
Thats it, Yeah that the story, but the worst is not over yet. The main point is that whatever she was trying to spin there I don't no why everybody ended up in bed why each of the experience got to the same ending of bedding people, sleeping around and all that.
I mean either the "high society" has nothing else on mind or the writer herself doesnt have anything remotely to do with mind .
Cummon how predicable can she be.
Anyways after reading that novel I have sweared on aaal the bhavani maa and santoshi maa et al. that I would never ever go by the glossy page.
Some writers are good writing about celebrities' boob jobs and broken relationships on page 15 of times of India. This novel thingy, nope not for them.
Would read my good 'ol harry potter to get rid of these depression that i got after reading that novel.

What's with the guilt??
Hmmmmppphhh!!!!!
Right now am in the middle of a call (which fortunately my manger decided not to attend and so this blog was born) and all of us ( by us I mean me and all my colleagues) are totally pissed with the situation, which is due to two basic reasons.
1. We dont get an ounce of wat those firangs talk about
2. We dont care an ounce of what those firangs talk about.
So all in all we are just trying to make out what these guys are talking about and cursing our manager at regular intervals for leaving us here like this.
In the middle of all thsi I kinda had an argument with oen of my colleague and me being me said a couple of rude things and just a second later felt guilty about, which in turn made me wonder about the mechanism of guilt.
What is with guilt?
We feel guilty about doing anything that pleases us. we feel guilty about eating too much, bout playing too much, eating too good , indulging too much, roaming too much and at time we feel guilty about feeling guilty?
I mean why is anything that is even remotely close to making us happy makes us feel guilty?
May be its with how much confortable we are under our skin and how much confidence we carry with ourself.
Its just about how much wrong we think we can go. The more we think we are wrong the tighter is the grip of guilt on us.
Simple correlation?
Well right now ma feeling guilty about not attending the call properly, so with a heavy heart and hand I would get back to my call.

Recent things
It's been really long since I last posted anything here.
Have been busy with work, new work, old work n all dat.
Watched harry potter the other day.
Decent movie, not as good as the other ones but still ok (was kinda expecting this since this part of the novel was not as good as the others).
The climax was amazing despite of a sad ending.
Well apart from this recently realised that am a pure harry potter fanatic and I liked harry potter (daniel radcliff basically) in most in the first part which is the sorceres stone and in books
I liked the second book the most.
Have read the book thrice already and am planning to revise the rest of the parts as well.
Apart from harry potter we shifted our office from diamond district to ecospace.
The office is amazingly beautiful with all the amenities one can wish for ( we have a McD's and baskin&robbins. Beat dat!!) but still there is something in thsi office which doesnt seem to be very appealing to me.
May be its the new place syndrom which is speaking but somehow I havent been able to give my 100% since I have come here.
The week just drives by me swooshing over my head and I am not able to complete the work I assign myself.
and the work is crazy (trust me for a change the work really is crazy)
I have decided to constantly remind myself of the work pressure so that I strat getting in pace and start working a little harder.
Anyways lets just see how things work out but there is something about this office which has negative energy or negative chi or some thing of that sort.
Well thats about it for now lets see how things shape up in the future ( now where is my crystal ball)

Audience day out
Well well well. Finally the much coveted audience day out a.k.a "the offsite" day arrived. This has been one the most talked about topic lately, after aapka soroor-The movie-The real love stpry but ofcource ( with all due respect to shree shree himesh reshamiya ji).
So we were informed about the whole thing beforehand just to avoid confusion and everyone ( rich people with cars n all) arranged for everyone else (poor people with no cars or bikes n all) to be picked.
I, on the night before was really panicky owing to my non punctual reputation and my cough and cold. But all's well that starts well, as in we were all on time( if we discount the 20 minutes delay).
So the audience ship of offsite set out in the ocean of bangalore traffic. Our destination was club cabana (reminds me of the song copa caban :D) and the traffic as usual was agonizing (despite of the fact that it was just 8 in the morning and we by the way were travelling towards the outskirts of Bangalooru)
To kill the time people suggested of watching a movie of the Flat screen touch button TV in the "LUXURY" bus (flat screen, as the TV was enclosed in a rectagular, box kinda screen and touch screen owing to the fact that it had to be touched several times before it starts).With a couple of arguments and agreements people decided to watch a mehmood's thing with all his gigs. But instead of killing time it was killing the people who were trying to watch it. and one by one people were succumbing to sleep owing to the excruciating jokes.
Finally some angels from the back of the bus suggesting of stopping te movie and finally the turmoil ended.
After some 45 minutes we reached club cabana where our breakfast wsa waiting for us.We had some sumptuos breakfast with loads of chitchat here and and people plannning bout various events. The air was so full of anticipation and people were enjoying every bit of a working day without working :) Then aparna called out to assemble to play a GAME.
Somehow I feel these team building games are to make, respectfull people, with the no nonsense written all over their face, feel foolish. And jerks like me to feel good about it :)
So we played the game of mking some device with the main power available.Somehow it felt more like a project with ajay pen and paper in his hand fishing for ideas and all of looking at him to come up with it. .
Finally we came uo with the brilliant out of the world idea of making a ancient griding thing ( wont call it a machine). When the "game" started and we did the whole thing ajay and sandy had all their nightmares come true as they were literally manhandled.
We also saw few of the good devices like one team made scissors and another one cycle.
After that Aprana gave us a update about her US visit and how there are so many new oppurtunities for everyone coming up. Everyone once again was in total awe of how in so less time our team has been ableto influence so many people sitting in US, all thanks to Aprna , Ajay and Ritin (and the SEO kids:D )
A
fter which all the kids were let loose and everyone started of with their games. Most of the guys started with cricket where Ameesh as usual, displayed his skills at bowling. A couple of others were busy with indoor games. Aparna and Divya left for playing squash and the rest of the girls got busy with chitchat or the indoor games.
After the cricket session "the boys" spilled themselves all over the place with few on the teniss court while other on the badmiton court and few others playing squash.
Later everone was gathered to feed themselves.Lunch was good with everyone filling their plates and making it resemple to a tiny mountain :D.
After lunch we had another activity lined up and everyone after the sumptuos lunch was looking for bed rather then any activity.
With a few whines and whimpers people divided themselves into the four teams(it was one of the toughest job with people taking it as a normal counting and going beyond 4 all the time).
So with heavy feet and head (what do u expect after such a heavy lunch) we proceeded towars the dark room. But once there all the sleep was gone coz the purpose of the game was to shout ad divert the other team member who tries to make his way thorough a number of obstacles blindfolded.
All the contestant were confused and irritated with theh rest of teams shouting at them. Imran finally gave in to the temptation and took of his blindfold.Pranita finally made it and so did divya but with a lot of rule braking (which her teammates outrightly deny). Our team also won despite of Ritin's attempts to cajole abhishek (I specifically remember him whispering something into his ears :D). The show stealet was satish. I had no clue at all that he can actually be so loud.Also there was a lot of rules breaking, man-handlelling, shouting on the cordinator, threating n all that but well that he part of all the offsites.
Later everyone headed towards bowling alley and a couple of us towarsd the baddi court ( Amrit challenged us and we...err... respectfully took it......) I tried scraing him off by saying am good n all that but I guess he knows me too well to bite that bait.
So we set off towards badi court.Me and Aprna in one team and divya and amrit in other.
Aparna played quite well but I totally compesated her by playing a reall lousy game and we lost (Thanks to me...)
We tried using a coupel of permutaions and combinations like me, amrit, aparna and divya then divya and ritin then Sulogna and ritin.
But in all conditions my team lost...sniff, sniff.
On the other end of the resort people were enjoying with water, some with the pure others with a distilled version (more often known as the liquor). Owing to his recent road fiasco was enjoying later part of water and Naveen and Arjun like true friends (They really do believe in a friend in NEED is a friend in DEED).
While the rest of the gang was taking turns in somersaulting in water. The whole place was alive because of their shouting and howling.When I went there I saw a number of skimply clad guys simply enjoying themselves in water and a few grls and a life guard sitting on the hsore tottally scandalised by the view :D.
And then there was Imraan ( A very well endowed guy) sitting on a tube (which was crying for mercy under him) resembling some blue whale on vacation and creating a mini Tsunami everytime he moved(Imraan , you are my best friend, buddy)
Deepak at the other of the pool was enjoyin his daddy'd day out (Am sure he would be happy to get a real holiday :D).
After a lot of chit chat (we literally made plans of our outings till december :D) and water splashes we bade goodbye to club cabana and headed towards Bangalore......and everyone agreed for that with the fear of getting stuck in traffic (yeah with bangalore people, getting stuck in traffic is the ultimate threat for getting anything done).
So turned our ship and were on our way when someone thought of having a little talent show of the newbies.
Everyone gave a performance with Fiza stealing the show. Ameesh and Imrann stood a close second with their almost breathtaking performances(almost, 'coz we survived that!!)
Then the old Naveen (yeah that how Naveen kumar is adressed these days owing to a new naveen entry in the team,Poor chap!!!) wsa asked to sing something. All sorts of request were flying in the air, from shakira's song to kannada song.
After some time we came to know that Naveen had already sung and finished the song, which we were totally unaware of (I think he was using some ultrasonic sound waves!!).
At the end of this audience idol show we started the evergreen antakshari. It was one of the most enjoyable part of the whole trip where the true talent of sachin, Fiza, Ameesh, Imraaan,Aparana and amrit came out.
The best part was angry young man avtaar of Amrit (phew! all of us had a mimni stroke because of that)
Well we enjoyed throughly thoughout the whole days, thansk to ajay and aparna and most importnatly AOL (You should never forget the one provide the moolah:D)
So we were informed about the whole thing beforehand just to avoid confusion and everyone ( rich people with cars n all) arranged for everyone else (poor people with no cars or bikes n all) to be picked.
I, on the night before was really panicky owing to my non punctual reputation and my cough and cold. But all's well that starts well, as in we were all on time( if we discount the 20 minutes delay).
So the audience ship of offsite set out in the ocean of bangalore traffic. Our destination was club cabana (reminds me of the song copa caban :D) and the traffic as usual was agonizing (despite of the fact that it was just 8 in the morning and we by the way were travelling towards the outskirts of Bangalooru)
To kill the time people suggested of watching a movie of the Flat screen touch button TV in the "LUXURY" bus (flat screen, as the TV was enclosed in a rectagular, box kinda screen and touch screen owing to the fact that it had to be touched several times before it starts).With a couple of arguments and agreements people decided to watch a mehmood's thing with all his gigs. But instead of killing time it was killing the people who were trying to watch it. and one by one people were succumbing to sleep owing to the excruciating jokes.
Finally some angels from the back of the bus suggesting of stopping te movie and finally the turmoil ended.
After some 45 minutes we reached club cabana where our breakfast wsa waiting for us.We had some sumptuos breakfast with loads of chitchat here and and people plannning bout various events. The air was so full of anticipation and people were enjoying every bit of a working day without working :) Then aparna called out to assemble to play a GAME.
Somehow I feel these team building games are to make, respectfull people, with the no nonsense written all over their face, feel foolish. And jerks like me to feel good about it :)
So we played the game of mking some device with the main power available.Somehow it felt more like a project with ajay pen and paper in his hand fishing for ideas and all of looking at him to come up with it. .
Finally we came uo with the brilliant out of the world idea of making a ancient griding thing ( wont call it a machine). When the "game" started and we did the whole thing ajay and sandy had all their nightmares come true as they were literally manhandled.
We also saw few of the good devices like one team made scissors and another one cycle.
After that Aprana gave us a update about her US visit and how there are so many new oppurtunities for everyone coming up. Everyone once again was in total awe of how in so less time our team has been ableto influence so many people sitting in US, all thanks to Aprna , Ajay and Ritin (and the SEO kids:D )
A
fter which all the kids were let loose and everyone started of with their games. Most of the guys started with cricket where Ameesh as usual, displayed his skills at bowling. A couple of others were busy with indoor games. Aparna and Divya left for playing squash and the rest of the girls got busy with chitchat or the indoor games.
After the cricket session "the boys" spilled themselves all over the place with few on the teniss court while other on the badmiton court and few others playing squash.
Later everone was gathered to feed themselves.Lunch was good with everyone filling their plates and making it resemple to a tiny mountain :D.
After lunch we had another activity lined up and everyone after the sumptuos lunch was looking for bed rather then any activity.
With a few whines and whimpers people divided themselves into the four teams(it was one of the toughest job with people taking it as a normal counting and going beyond 4 all the time).
So with heavy feet and head (what do u expect after such a heavy lunch) we proceeded towars the dark room. But once there all the sleep was gone coz the purpose of the game was to shout ad divert the other team member who tries to make his way thorough a number of obstacles blindfolded.
All the contestant were confused and irritated with theh rest of teams shouting at them. Imran finally gave in to the temptation and took of his blindfold.Pranita finally made it and so did divya but with a lot of rule braking (which her teammates outrightly deny). Our team also won despite of Ritin's attempts to cajole abhishek (I specifically remember him whispering something into his ears :D). The show stealet was satish. I had no clue at all that he can actually be so loud.Also there was a lot of rules breaking, man-handlelling, shouting on the cordinator, threating n all that but well that he part of all the offsites.
Later everyone headed towards bowling alley and a couple of us towarsd the baddi court ( Amrit challenged us and we...err... respectfully took it......) I tried scraing him off by saying am good n all that but I guess he knows me too well to bite that bait.
So we set off towards badi court.Me and Aprna in one team and divya and amrit in other.
Aparna played quite well but I totally compesated her by playing a reall lousy game and we lost (Thanks to me...)
We tried using a coupel of permutaions and combinations like me, amrit, aparna and divya then divya and ritin then Sulogna and ritin.
But in all conditions my team lost...sniff, sniff.
On the other end of the resort people were enjoying with water, some with the pure others with a distilled version (more often known as the liquor). Owing to his recent road fiasco was enjoying later part of water and Naveen and Arjun like true friends (They really do believe in a friend in NEED is a friend in DEED).
While the rest of the gang was taking turns in somersaulting in water. The whole place was alive because of their shouting and howling.When I went there I saw a number of skimply clad guys simply enjoying themselves in water and a few grls and a life guard sitting on the hsore tottally scandalised by the view :D.
