The recession has cost many their jobs dearly and its been a dark cloud chasing many IT professionals. Though, I had thought that my team was spared from it but lately it claimed the job of a close collegue of mine. A very happening and cheerful friend of mine. He always advices me on career and office life. How many things we have discussed together. So many jokes... a lot of time I wud join him to the smoke stand though I dont smoke myself but jus to keep him company at the risk of being a passive smoker... still, it was worth it. He told me last monday that he wud be given the pink slip. We had the air that sum1 wud be layed off in our process this year... poor him.
I am gonna miss him. Gud thing is that he got a job in mumbai and will shift there next month.
A real fun loving person who smilis even at the adverse circumstances. He tells me " Mudit no matter bad a shit, life offers u to chew on... never stop smiling and being happy. There is always another opportunity awaits to welcome you."
A guy, notorious for talking too much about his wife and family. People disliked 1 thing about him that is his too much friendliness with the collegues. He calls his male collegues "dada, chahca etc." and his female collegues " ji, behan etc.". I do remember a lot of times people bitchin abt him and back bititng him, making fun of his obese physique and calling him a luckless flirt etc. in his absence
I am sure they all gonna miss him. hehehe
Talking about people leaving. There is sum1 else who left the job on the 18th of June(last thursday). One secret here....
When I joined this company I had a crush on a cute gal. I realized that she had one on me... we started to talk but coz of sum1 who knew both of us we developed sum misunderstandings. Then a battle of egos that lasted over a year which never allowed me to talk to her ever since she didnt greet me one day coz sum friend of hers told sum crap to her about me...(long story). Months later when I cut off from her totally she tried to talk to me a few times in last 6 months but I acted so stuck up and always curbed her initiatives to have a conversation.
A few weeks ago she came across me at the cafe gates that I had opend for myself. She was there on the other side with her bunch of friends. I allowed them to go through as an act of gentleman's curtsy. She slowed behind her rushing friends, looked at me and said thanks in a very soft voice but I moved on like an arrogant pig giving a very "I dont give a shit to u" look to her.
Feel like, I should have atleast given her a smile and "u r welcome" note but...
Perhaps, that was the last time she said anything to me. 3 weeks later I came to knw she was leaving the job from a close friend of mine who was also her friend. Inspite of our like for eachother we never talked. The reason was me. I think I mind too many small things too quickly and never take initative to resolve those... but wat to do? She is a goner now. I learnt that she moved to Mumbai for further studies in meadia and ads. Gud for her... None the less she was one of the cutest gurls I ever talked to. However, a lot of my guy friends seemed to disagree. They always said "dude, Jenny is too thin and her skin is too pale. How come u like her over many others?" Well, I liked her eyes.. hazle and so enchanting... enuf said.
A lot of people are leaving these days. Dont know why?
Another friend of mine left Bangalore on the same day... the 18th of june (last thursday). She and I have known eachother for about 2 years. She calls me a "bad boy" and inspite of all my attempts to be gud she doesnt change her perception of mine. She always said that she admired me for some reasons but never told me exactly what were those reasons. It is gonna be a mystry now. She has moved back to her hometown and she said she wud come to Bangalore to meet with me and insisted me to find time for her wenever she wud come without makin any excuses for my unavailibility. hehe.... I know that these are jus words.
Anyways, I am sure she can never forget this "heartless, untiring strong guy" who was too rough with her... as she says. No matter wat she does but I will always be a part of her unforgetable memories...
Came to work on my bike and left work early with her on thursday to drop her to a bus-stand later that night where she had to catch a Volvo to her hometown. Spent a few hours with her at her house talkin and discussin things.
I hope she has a bright and successful future ahead. She is relly such a sweet gal. A topper through her career and a very sensative person.... enuf said.
My dad lost his cell again. He called me from a new number explained me how from others mistake he lost his cell again ;) hehe... He has this amazing ability to find a way to lump the matter on the others head.... My mom wud agree with me for sure ;) hehe... I miss 'em all so freakin much.
Had a blast today coz my roomate had successfully cleared a cisco certification exam that will help him take a long stride in his career. So, weekend was busy partying out with my roomates.
A new day to begin with tomorrow... There is no count of people who hate Mondays. Of course its the heaviest and the laziest day of the week unless its the payday or its a bank holiday ;).
