My Prayer!!!

Where am I?

When I came back to office last week, after my short trip home, my supervisor had news for me.

“Ure being shifted to KT office….U’ll have to move out this week itself!”

Wow!!! I din want him to see how relieved I was….KT office!!!! Hardly a minute walk from my apartment [well that is exactly why v decided to take it. Hoping they’d shift us thr]……No more traveling….no more waking up early….I was thrilled!!!

Oh so I forgot to ask him why….”Why is that? all of us are moving out?”

“No u’ve been allotted to a new project!!” (puzzled)

What!!!! I’ve been mapped to a new project? without me being informed? God, I’ve been gone for juz 2 days n look wat happened! why din anyone tell me? Or was it coz my mailbox was full of forwards I mite have missed out such an imp mail?

“Huh!!! Sorry I din know that….I wasn’t informed”

“Din u check ur mails?”

“Well I did….lemme check again….”

And together v went thru d entire mails…..Nope….nothing to be seen…..

“Maybe they’ll inform u today”

Oh yes they did…..within an hour I got the transfer mail n towards d end of d day I got clearance from every department…..Ok am all set to move now…..Hopefully from tomorrow onwards I don’t have to worry about being late for bus :-)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day…..So I’ve told everyone am moving…..am pretty excited……sad too for leaving all my friends here……

Everyone started noticing d change in my display id….it says KT instead of AMB now [denotes which office I am located]…..queries about my new project n when I got shifted……

“Well I don’t know anything about d project yet….n no I’ve not shifted….am still here….it’s juz that my location’s been changed”

“So when are u moving?”

“Not sure about that….waiting for the mail :-)”

“Good luck!!”

“Thanks”

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Next day n I still haven’t moved yet

“Where are you now?”

“Am still here at AMB office”

“But your display shows ure at KT”

“Yeah I know!”

“Well start packing”

“mmmmm”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Next week

“Not moved yet?”

“No”

Well am still at d same office…..same bay…..using the same machine

Oh n by d way my new supervisor’s on leave….So I can’t be moving unless I get an approval from her…..

So when am I moving? Well that’s tough to answer…..

To conclude am virtually at one place but physically at another….huh!!!!

Now that’s what I call dual existence :-)

Eragon err....dragons!

What is life without fantasies??!!! Weird the tales maybe, but they take us to an entirely different world….Last day it was Eragon that engulfed me into the fantasy land…..

It is the story of Eragon, a farm boy who finds a dragon egg while hunting in the woods and later becomes a dragon rider. The slimy baby dragon was looking sooooo cute and even more magnificent when it grew…. Dragons, elves, an evil King, a sorcerer, an adventurous journey, and finally a war between good and evil, it had all the ingredients for a perfect tale…..I wonder how I could have missed the book…..But it is even more wonderful when you’re watching the entire thing with no clue as to what happens next…….

Everyone seemed to be enjoying it, esp. the kids behind me, who couldn’t keep their mouths shut, ruining all the suspense. Apart from the complaining of my friend for having dragged him for a movie for kids, I thoroughly enjoyed Eragon’s journey. Well I’ll tell what’s next!! Grab a copy of “Eldest” from someone and start the adventure all over again!!!!!

Clouds

I looked out of my aircraft window

watching the city grow smaller

Up n up we went, into the puffy kingdom

I looked at the white bundles,

changing their shapes and constantly shifting

“Cauliflowers”, I told my mom,

to which she just smiled…

“No, dragons they are!!!”

with whiskers n horns n wings to fly

am not afraid I did tell her

he’s still smiling at me!

Flowers n whales n teddy I saw

And horses n Knights I showed my mom

Castles, so big n pink they were

and dreamed to be a princess there…

I wished to sleep in a bed of clouds

Hiding inside them, never to be found…

I smiled at my dreams as a kid

wondering if it was still possible…

I looked again at the fluffy whites

hoping to spot the same dragon again

I looked n looked for my pink castle

And the garden I simply adored

But all I could see was plain white clouds

Yes, now they are just clouds to me…

I failed to see my old friends in them

And as I looked at the white bundles again,

changing their shapes and constantly shifting,

I wished to be a kid again…..

Just another day...

Just another day at office…’twas like any other day…I had nothing to do today than going thru d documents that is due to b completed next week….N since am going home day after, I din feel like reading d boring stuff (well boring it wud b since I’d been doing nothing else for d past few days) I felt a lot lonely today, coz both the bays next to me had no movement…Both my friends had taken a week off n was now home…Must be sleeping all day long….Or maybe watching tv or just relaxing…N me? Stuck in office for another few more hours….

Now today was one of those days I really missed a3’s mails…Usually she bombarded all our mailboxes with loads of forwarded mails…It gets annoying at times, when you find so many of them…Rest of the days u wish d frequency wud b a bit high so u could keep urself occupied with d silly stuff…..There have been days when I’ve asked her to fill up my mailbox…..Now since she’s not here my outlook does not have anything to offer :-( Until now I’ve received nothing but a “Calvin” strip from Mr. know-it-all….That guy has been trying to make me like Calvin for too long….I always enjoy that part of our fight…..Hmmmm….not bad though :P

Nothing to do…Nothing to do….I simply refuse to read one more single line from that stupid document…OOPS!!!! That’s why they pay me…..Sorry it’s not stupid :-)

And so I decided to mail Ams…Now that’s what I usually do when I feel bored….I either mail my college friends….Or we just start a hilarious conversation through the communicator….Me, a3,MM n sometimes paappan too….Now that two are missing, it wouldn’t be as usual

Ams hasn’t been mailing me for quite some time now….Neither is she picking up the phone when I call….Hmmm I don’t understand.....How can she be so busy?? All my friend’s been telling me I send them too big mails they don’t have time to read the entire thing n reply back….Well it doesn’t take that much time to type things, does it? Lazy people!!!!

Anyway I asked her if she was still alive. N what a surprise!! She replied….She asked me what I’d bring for her when I come back from home….She wanted halwa n asked me not to open it from the mess hall…I was to bring it up directly to our room….All of a sudden I started remembering my college days….

College wasn’t so hip n happening for me….But I simply enjoyed those days at hostel….Everything was so different then….I remember the times when someone returned back from home n opened d home-made food or sweets or anything at all….All hands wud be on it together…..N it never mattered if one was hungry or not…..Fighting for it was the best part….This was exactly what ams was talking about…Whenever I went home I brought the special halwa of my place….N each time ams wud be d first one to taste it….V’d cut it n save some pieces for us roomies before calling d others….

The long chats during meals….irritating our matron n getting quick pinches from her at times….the roll calls along with matron’s scolding….the way v cud just keep on talking about anything n nothing v talked ever mattered to us…..teasings…..combined study on d eve of exams…..Missing all of it!!!!

Feels to be back in LH now….Just for a day maybe….Just like old times….Away from work….Away from all worries n tensions….Back in my room…..Curled up in my bed as usual……Reading my book n listening to my favourite playlist…..Watching the changing scenes of my screen-saver with ams until someone calls us crazy :-) ……Waiting for repi n TR to call us for lunch……Yes back at 303 where life was just care-free…..

I find myself thinking about all this, even though my eyes are on my computer screen, pretending as usual, to read that document…..Atleast my mind wud be occupied for the remaining 2 hours at office :-) ……

Thanks ams!!!
