Tina Fey

Well this certainly is the topic I’ve always tried to avoid writing about… But after three Season’s of “30 Rock” and numerous youtube videos, I just couldn’t resist to confess my lurrrv for Tina Fey.

.

.

I know she’s 15 years older than me, but did that stopped Melania Knauss from marrying Donald Trump or Jesus Luz form Dating Madonna ….   Niiiyyooooo  !!!

.

So don’t give me that title of yours “Lover of the elderly”… ( Yes! Saurabh this was for you )

.

BTW its not the age, its the the mixture of intelligence, wit, nerdiness, sarcasm, enchanting smile or just the weird geeky attraction towards the female in “black plastic-rimmed glasses”. But it sure makes her a geek goddess ….

And, one more thing, I don’t like Megan Fox …

Here, I said it, the unspeakable.  I’ve broke the foxy charm, she’s nothing but a man in female disguise … If u don’t believe me Google it….

PS : – And I am not being sarcastic.

PS : — For all the females out there waiting to catch this fish, here’s a tip … visit your optometrist… ASAP

PS : — A reminder, I was still serious about the thing for Tina Fey.

Least we can do

It was another rainy Sunday afternoon; no one was home except a lethargic person deep in sleep (that would be me).

Doorbell rang

#pause

Rang again

I lifted my body off the bed; cursing the visitor I opened the door…

There were two guys, mid twenty, with folders in their hands and smile on their face. They were about to leave when I opened the door (Damn! Bad timing).

I thought they were neighbors, since we had never interacted, I asked to come in.

Well, as it turned out soon, they were wipro employees, volunteering for CRY.

Now, it doesn’t take a genius to understand why they were here.

Before I go further, let me state a fact – “I m really bad at saying no, usually I can’t, specially to strangers”

So, they explained me the donation thing and all, and as I saw in the paper the donation amount was mentioned, reluctantly I chose the minimum amount, that was Rs. 1200.

Wrote them a cheque, filled the form, dedicated it to mom (they had some) and done.

Then they went to the next house and I was left cursing myself for giving donation after a salary reduction.

I got over the regret in few days, till today when came across this video through Facebook

And then this post,

We see things around us, think to do something and after some time just forget. That’s what happens almost all the time.

Well, then I received an email from CRY, to thank me for the gesture. And for the first time, I was glad that I wrote that cheque.

I really appreciate the work pulkit and samvedana guys are doing. I know most of us don’t have that much time or/and dedication to put in so much effort.

This is the LEAST WE CAN DO.

Met Creativity at meetings

Well, It’s been more than an year since I entered the corporate world. One most important thing I learned is, how to pretend you are interested in what ever they are talking bout in the meetings, coz you can’t sleep.

Doodling is the best way to show that you are listening and top of that actually scribing that in your note book …

I too started off with doodling … but out of ideas i started sketching my colleges’ faces. Surprisingly some of them turned out pretty well, it was actually looking like them …

Most of my readers, since don’t know them personally may not appreciate it. but that doesn’t stop me from self-praising…

PS : Increased the contrast using picasa … so images might appear little F***D up.

Three things you should know to survive in corporate world

1. Don’t always accept your mistakes.

2. Keep the record of all the conversation you have with your colleagues.

3. Don’t ever cover up for others.

OR

simply … do opposite of what I do… !!

The Grassy BC … !!

You must have come across this old saying ….

Grass is always greener on the other side

Well, Few weeks ago, our very own  Hah!B33t had this status msg ….

the greenness of grass g(x) = a(x-t)^2, x being the absolute distance of the grass from the observer, t being the threshold for the ‘other side’, a is a positive constant

And it triggered the other’s status message updates …

ankit.iiit : where xactly is this other side… ? towards the left, right, front or back ?

sbadrinath : Why are we so obsessed with the bloody grass anyway?  Why dont we talk about how watery the lake is or how cloudy the clouds are?

sankalp.mulye : ♫ How does the greenness matter if you are going to smoke it away?

akash.iiit : duniya ki saari ghaas ek jhopde mein…..

jaiswal.ankur : ass and gr”ass” cant be friends

n finally

supreeth.achar :  Stay off the grass.

Poison @ Hyderabad

To all the people who think night life in Hyderabad sucks, I have just one thing to offer them POISON. The latest addition to the Night clubs in Hyderabad. Located in newly constructed Shangrilla Plaza at Road no. 2 Banjara Hills, is definitely up to the standard set by its sisters in Mumbai and Goa.

Recently the launch of this DJ Aqeel ‘s 3^rd nightclub of its kind was in news. As per the review of WOW! Hyderabad, it looked really promising, so thought of checking it out this Sunday night.

We reached Shangrilla plaza at 9:30 PM, and it took 10 more minutes to reach the 7^th floor. First reaction was its ok, although the scent they had used was a bit irritating. The bouncers here were human looking, not giants like Zouk has.

Now, May be we were lucky or may be it’s their policy, but we got entry without paying the cover charges. As soon as you enter you’ll see lounge area in your left, with a soft music and great ambiance it’s idle to have chit-chat with friends over few drinks.

But our destination was little further in, the disc …

Now, what makes this place different from other’s …

1. Largest dance floor compared to any of the discs I have been to.

2. Many screens including a projector all playing F-TV.

3. Techno and Trans music, which poison is famous for.

4. Pure bollywood mix from 10:30 onwards for insane dancing.

5. And of course the awesome crowd including many celebrities.

Since, the place has just opened they didn’t have menu cards so ordering was a bit problematic. There was time when server got us really irritated coz everything we think of ordering is what they don’t have.

After 10 the place becomes really crowded, although no one started dancing till we led the way . The DJ was awesome and disc lights were adding the feel. We started at 10:30 with two and when we left the dance floor it was near 12 and there were more than 30 people on the floor.

Apart from the Disc there’s a VIP purple room also, which is only for the members are the membership cost is around 1.5 lac per month(according to WOW!).

And yah! forgot mention about the paparazzi es which were continuously clicking pictures of starts and popular personalities, although I didn’t recognize any of them!!

Well, that was one night well spend … finally I’ve started liking Hyderabad.

PS:- One thing I hate bout Hyderabad is they close down all the discs at 12 PM.

PS: — If you are not into dancing and only interested in dancing, love rock and watch sports a lot, then try Xtreme-sports in front of city center, Banjara-hills.

PS:— I m not going to write what the next post is going to be about, coz I never finish those posts.

PS:—- Didn’t sleep properly for past 3 nights, thanks IIIT for all those night out training.

PS:—– After all these months, I would still rate dancing in OBH ground with 300 ppl over any of the discs.

PS:—— Makes me nostalgic.

PS:——- BBYE … !!

A little more than normal person

When I was a kid … I heard story of a spider, which was trying to knit a net … “TRYING” … was not able to succeed though, because of the dripping water from the water tank above. But it never lost hope… and kept on trying until the tank got empty and ultimately it succeeds.

The story was supposed to inspire people to stay optimistic and keep the hard work on and one day they’ll achieve what they set out for. But hardly 2-3 among the class of 100 can do so, when things just seems to go worse day by day … one day or another everyone lose hope, cries and curse god or the destiny.

 

But I’ve seen an exception; that same skinny guy who was obsessed with IIT in his first year at IIIT. I remember him hiding behind me in physics and English lecture working on some JEE problem. Remember him eating only two puffs for lunch coz he don’t want to spend 17 bucks on proper food. He never bought books for himself, not even if it isn’t available at library. Just to save few bucks. But … Destiny …!! He didn’t get through … and irony … the friend he uses to study with did.

 

He was hard working … worked really hard … got himself an internship in Germany … But unfortunate again … short of funds … dream remained dream.

 

But, Spider can’t quit can it … gave GRE, scored 1380… and applied for his dream colleges…

 

Meanwhile came the Placements … the job fair … everyone expected him to win the biggest teddy… But ill-fate again, after scoring maximum marks in written exam, adobe and other vision companies kicked him coz he was an ECE student. A much above average guy landed up at below average paying job.

 

Still optimistic … tried off campus, had a promising interview with Sarnoff … boy! They were impressed … ready to wait for his feedbacks from the colleges to come … and if … he couldn’t get through he can join them.

 

So finally things worked out … … No! … They didn’t …

 

Got rejected from all the 10 colleges … … And the backup job … well! They had no vacancy any more …

 

So, what now … probably … will be the part of corporate world then … but … this one was different … he called up MD of the company… told him that he wants to do Phd ultimately and sooner or later he’ll leave the job…

 

And he made a one last try at college he thought would be too good for him and the prof he thought out of his bound. But he applied …

 

That was the time the leaking water tank got empty

He got a project at IIT Chennai with good stipend. And that’s not it … got a mail from the prof from Imperial college asking for a phone interview… he did well as always…

 

Got mail from the company he was placed in saying … he can join them whenever he feels like; they’ll welcome him with open hands.

 

And …… Finally …… Got a confirmation mail from the Imperial College …… saying that he is selected for fully funded Phd. (Given that two of his reference letter didn’t reach them)

 

This may look like a geeky version of the spider tale … most of the kids and adults will definitely find it boring … but to people like me it is one inspiring story of a little more than normal person.
