NEXT BEST THING-SIME UPDATES!

Last blog written in May huh! That’s a long time just like the last post written after a long break. Today just dropping by to give some updates though frankly speaking I am just documenting things as not many follow my blog,, (are you serious? Yes) and many of my blog followers already know all the details about me nyways. Look at the number of comments received since last year,, and this one for my blogging inspiration Ms Shruti, ur last comment was posted one year ago :(. An special award for posting comments goes to Meggs :).
I need to keep posting things and hope some comments will come this time. Ok so here is the gist of how my days have been ever since my last post in May. I joined Krishna Maruti on June 1 and things have been good. Spent my first month reading some half written policies and some good books. And I should not forget to mention the most important thing I did during that time,, dozing :D. That seems good enough work for the month and even better when after dozing for a month you get a hand full of pocket money (call it salary).Next good thing is that I have bought an acoustic guitar, which I term as the first good thing bought from my first salary. Wow! It’s a cute and interesting thing; I have learned some chords as of now and still trying to steal some time from my busy schedule to practice it. My music teacher is a foreigner, Mike Herbert. Why are you looking amazed? Yes he is a good guitarist. Actually there is this online site where I have got my email id registered and it is from here that I get some video lessons which can be downloaded. Mike's way of marketing his products (guitar learning videos) is really very cool. I have received a free set of some beginner videos and I receive a personalized kind of an e mail every 3 or 4 days where Mike (in real it is an automatically generated e mail) asks about my practice and if my fingers are hurting or not etc etc. So in all I am learning something if not nothing.Next interesting event was my Bday. Was it really interesting? No,,ooo,,ooo. All day I was in office and phone calls kept on coming at least once in one hour. The office ppl came to know about the bdday thing and there they were asking for treat. And you know how these office treats can be fatal to your pocket. In the evening one of our Senior Manager managed to get hold of 7-8 pastries, all egg less coz my immediate boss couldn't have eggs wala pastry on Tuesday. We ended up having some puff pastry which had layers (no cake/bread inside) like a Pattie with cream all over. Friends I must confess it was pathetic! Each pastry was of 50 bucks :O and no one liked it. In the evening I went to Pizza Hut with my room mates and had some pizzas after a long time. Initially in IMI it was a normal thing to be in such outlet and have a pizza. I was missing my IMI days when in amphi some one used to arrange for the cake and candles and cold drinks and what not. And then the halla gulla at 12 and then the most awaited and threatful budday bumps :D. For those who do not know how it feels like; it seems as if after giving sweet food (cake) to the goat (almost me) the goat is then taken in an open area and offered at the mercy of a bunch of people to carry on the ceremony further. And finally the goat is left with a sweet pain: P. Now the sad part of the story- the day ended with some VIP very important person forgetting to wish me. I think I need to make a complaint register for her. But I have to give a benefit of 'no doubt' i.e. I knew she had forgotten the date. Next best thing was the last Saturday when I met some of my long lost friends. Met Amit, Jaya, Jeetu, and my no doubt friend ;). Ok on a serious note, I got a bit worried that day and so I decided to directly go to Delhi. On Sunday I had the GAIL exam and I stayed at Amit's room. And guess what I visited Ms Shrooti's house for the first time. Do saal me to kabhi Madame ne bulaya nahi, I thought that I should myself give an attendance :D (Just kidding :P). I had a very good weekend after a long time. Next best thing is about a news I have got today which is still in process, fingers crossed. Hope things go well :) Not mentioning here, so ask me personally. And it is not just related to me :). Guess what !! Next best thing?? I am feeling sleepy,,, and that the only thing I am good at,, so just good night :D and God bless!
