Self Appraisal

It's time for Appraisals and promotions in the office and even I am expecting a hike...but this isn't a post about all that...To me appraisal means growing by learning new each day and personal job satisfaction that comes from working both hard and smart... 

Here's an inspiring story sent to me by one of my colleagues...Hope it peps up your Spirit as it does mine...Enjoy!

A little boy went to a telephone booth which was at the cash counter of a  store and dialed a number.
The store-owner observed and listened to the conversation:

Boy                : "Lady, Can you give me the job of cutting your lawn?

Woman         : (at the other end of the phone line) "I  already have someone to cut my lawn."

Boy                : "Lady, I will cut your lawn for half the price than the person who cuts your lawn now."

Woman         : I'm very satisfied with the person who is  presently cutting my lawn.

Boy                : (with more perseverance) "Lady, I'll even sweep the floor  and the stairs of your house for free.

Woman         : No, thank you. 

With a smile on his face, the little  boy replaced the receiver. The store-owner, who was listening to all this,  walked over to the boy.

Store Owner       : "Son... I like  your attitude; I like that positive spirit and would like to offer you a  job."

Boy                      : "No thanks,

Store Owner       :  But you were really pleading for one.

Boy                      : No Sir, I was just  checking my performance at the job I already have. I am the one who is  working for that lady I was talking to!" 

 

         This is called
        "Self  Appraisal"

Why Always me???

It's often that I write cribbing about the past...But Not Anymore...I have made a "NEW beginning"....And entered the new phase which is Me Being Independent in Life...I am being more responsible than ever, getting stronger and have realized that I am strong enough to make a living alone...In fact, now I feel...I don't need anyone in Life...(enjoying my SIngleton to the MAX)...With each experience I am learning not to Trust Others easily...so, after long...Here's are few updates...

#UPDATE 1 - Office Party

Office parties can be real boring if you're ALone (Irony)...but, until u know how to some have fun...

Ever imagined dancing in a party alone???? Drinking and feeling as if you're are flying??? Entering other people gang on dance floor and your boss pulling you back??? Slipping in the pub and not knowing who helped you in getting up???? And worst, you puking in the washroom and your colleagues trying to FIND you??? (I have a Cell-Phone though)

Well, the recent Office Party was like this... I really had some good time at PARTY and later my colleagues had a good time laughing at me...lolz...Don't know why it's always me???

#UPDATE 2 - Where I discovered a Jerk

I wanna trash HIM really HARD...Don't understand why people take me for granted...I am BINDAS doesn't mean I am AVAILABLE...Yesterday, something happened that I never imagined in wildest of my fantasies...How could he?? I was shocked seeing someone I Respected behaving like that...I kept on asking you might be kidding and he kept on denying...and proving himself to be a real JERK...A Real PERVY...I respected him for his maturity...but not ANYMORE.... I feel so Sorry for that disturbed (DESPERATE) SOUL...knocking the Wrong Door...And have a WORD of ADVICE for HIM:

Better go to a WHORE House....asking or I would say BEGGING to be "Physically Intimate" and spoiling FRIENDSHIPS....STAY AWAY...BASTARD....

Don't understand "Why it's Always me?"

Random Thoughts!

Sitting in the Office... I am getting a little bored... yeah! I have completed all the assignments... waiting for something new... I was talking to a friend online who like me has gone through a really bad phase of a relationship...

Ya Know! I can very much understand her feelings coz we're kinda sailing in the same boat... She told me that she fine! Not good and waiting for that someone special to fill her life with happiness again...

To this I replied is that "someone special" really important in life... Probably you can have a good life even if he/she's not around. You have all the Freedom...No one to hold you back... you have rich time... every moment to spare on you...do whatever you want to...go wherever you feel like....

No Irritating phone calls... And best of all you have time to get closer to your family (whom who have kinda ignored a lot)...

Probably I am right... Probably I am wrong... But this is how I feel right now...Do tell me how you feel... In Other Words baby

"I AM REALLY ENJOYING MY SINGLETON"

There is something else that I would Love to Share:

We Work for a Better Tomorrow, but when "TOMORROW" comes, instead of Enjoying, we again think of a better tomorrow. So let Us have a better "TODAY"....

Keeping Busy???????

Keeping Busy can be harder at times! I know there's lot of work to be done... But there's always an emptiness that surrounds me... I feel like getting away from hustle bustle of the daily life...sitting lonely in lush green environs and listening to those nice...slow...romantic songs...

Working in a corporate world sucks! Believe me! There is nothing much to do except that usual, boring work assignments...Not much except the buildings and the same boring faces to stare at...even the smile on their face is so mechanical...it feels like I have been sentenced to the same routine...Ah! which I am so used to now...

At times, I feel running away...To escape boredom I have started some practicing some new tactics:

1) Writing idiotic, silly posts like this;

2) Listening to songs on my most cherished Sony Ericsson W350i phone. Which I use more for sharing music than receiving calls... There is no one to call this poor baby!

3) Strolling in the office premises in the evenings with my best friend and bitching about everything (believe me I can even bitch about myself)...

4) And the best of all... Going to washroom to dance every time I feel like jumping on a peppy number... Ya know I love dancing...

And, like always... Thanks gain for tolerating me... happy weekend... And "Don't Drink and Drive"... But DO VOTE!!!

BLACKMAILING: WHO THE heck ARE you??????

Since, I don't want to use his real name. This post is dedicated to Mr. X (a 'super-idiot', 'moron' and an ass****) who takes too much pleasure delving into my personal life.

It all started with something I thought was 'leg-pulling' by a friend who commented on post saying 'I know that Gye he hehehh.... and I am going to reveal his name to every body....'. Taking it lightly, I went on replying 'Thank you so much Dear! It'll be a Great Help... Lolz'. The comment was by a name and when I checked on the person was not a blogger and had just registered recently. This didn't bothered me much.

Returning home the same evening, I got a text message from a co-worker saying 'Oye tu ne new boy friend bana liya in such an such department'... I was taken aback for a while and couldn't understand what's happening... Then, I realized that the person had asked me for my blog address few days ago and has been reading my posts thoroughly...

That's so cheap, disgusting???? I felt like slapping left him right on his face (he would have got a tight one if he wud have been in the same cab)... Why is he so bothered about 'what going on in my life'...

And by the way Mr. X, who the hell are you??? I give a damn to you to your way too cheap mentality... Here's something specially CHOSEN ONE for you:

I am Getting Bored...So Bored

There is so much I have worked on...And there is so much to be still worked upon. My job is getting monotonous...with no change on the daily schedule...Sleep...Wake-up...Get ready...get picked by the irritating cab driver who plays those typical "ashiqui" songs. Reach office before the stipulated time...I don't know why we are allowed to go home...the office people should make rat holes for us - the poor workers...

In Office...Turn-On the computer and do same old stuff...time for lunch...get back to work again...time of tea-break...get back to work again...time for dinner...rush for sending the daily report...sign-off...get in the same irritating cab...reach home...and...sleep...

And the Vicious Circle goes-on...

The only respite is the two days off on weekends...Lovely...lovely weekends...two days when I feel so free...

Sometimes I feel like quitting...but the lazy cat inside me is used to this boring routine now...After all my job has given so much to me...respect, love of such nice colleagues and yes money for pursuing my most cherished thingy "shopping"

So...Happy Weekends to all of you...And once again take a lot of rest...Muuuaaah :)

There is so much in life...Until we Realize

This post is about "eternal cribbers" like me who never realize what they have in life...Today I read this great post by QM much about the same thing...

As a child I never realized what I have...despite so much tension between my parents...I had such a loving grandfather...whom I lost when I was just eight years old....Despite all tensions...Life went On...I never had good friends around...until today when I realized my younger sister has always been a true friend...she would go to any extent to protect me and fight people who would try to hurt me...

Feeling lonely...I felt for a person who turned me against my well-wishers...I would not make any friends...Will go to any extent to be with him (bunked college, kept myself free all the time so I could meet him)...But, that's past now...And after all what happened I have realized that, there's is so much beautiful in life until we realize. We can spend entire life cribbing, longing for what we don't have, running after what we want to be and not realizing that life is too short to live...live every moment...past is history, future is yet to come...so why not live in present and make the most of it....

• Thanks to my parents for everything they have given me...
• Thanks to my sister for all her love, care and support...
• Thanks to my friends...
• Thanks to almighty; and
• Thank you all for tolerating and reading this non-sense post :P

And yes, realization doesn't means you have to practice yoga and meditation for hours...

Memories of the Corbett Trip...

Last Year the office people had planned a trip to the Jim Corbett National Park...Here are some of the some of the best pics of that trip (I know Ann will be jealous, coz I am the attempt to post them)

Day I

Reached the hotel room after that long, tiring Bus Journey..Thanks to the Bus Driver who took that "extra-long route."

Caption: Posing in front of the hotel room (don't pay attention to the background)

Caption: Me and Ann posing in the river

Day II

Heading for the Safari. Early Morning 6 a.m. (Don't look at pyjamas)

That's all folks...

Weekends...I Hate Them

You might me wondering..'Look at this silly girl who doesn't like weekends'. But, that's not true really...Indeed I too Love my share of privacy and free time...But, because of the break-up of my long relationship I don't really feel like moving out anymore...This weekend was a little too boring...I had three long days to go...On Friday I took an Off because of the terrible tooth-ache (my wisdom teeth is sprouting out).

Also, the plan to go out with friends was somehow cancelled and I had to spend time at home (my mother asking me learn cooking and other household chores...no, not again). On Sunday, I went out with my mother for shopping...which used to be my favorite past time...Not anymore...May be I will develop that passion again...Let's see...

I am back in Office and it's feeling great getting back to work again....I Love my Job, my Office and my colleagues.. They are super-fantastic and have made work more fun for me...
