I.M.

Those in the corporate world would be very familiar with the IM. Its the internal chat messenger installed for employees to be able to talk within the company. The main purpose of an IM is to be able to get official work done, helping in cutting cost on expensive conference calls and meetings.

For me and my good friend at work the IM has an absolutely different purpose. 80% of out conversation during the day happens on the internal chat..reason being?? We sit at different locations :( We do hope and wonder if could somehow be able to sit together and work.. that would mean someone sacrificing their job profile (which of course is a crazy thing to ask :P)

So what do we do?? We make most of it by having absolutely hilarious conversations online.. I think we could probably get these conversations published and come out with a great book;) At the end of the day I am grateful for technology and whoever it was that had the bright idea to invent this.It definitely motivates me to go to work ;)

The Child Within

Today after a long long time I had fun. I am not talking about the usual  weekend unwinding. The joy of doing things that give you simple pleasures in life. This is the  first time I had gone for a CSR activity in my company. I was not sure how I was gonna be of any use as I am not super creative and we were going for a clay modelling workshop with the orphans at a school.

I realized you don't need to have skills to go help, you just need to be willing to go. These kids were happy just to see us and play simple games. We did make some stuff out of the clay.They were not great but we had a whole lot of fun doing it!

It was good to take a break and get out of our closed cubicles, and do something for others. It also made me realize how blessed I am, and that I need to stop complaining about trivial things. So I did take part in making something ( my friend made it and we painted it ;) 

Here are the masterpieces!!! ;)

The Manhattan Project

“This time-lapse production has been a wild and exhilarating ride, with a lot of physical work lugging my 120-130 pounds of gear around all of Manhattan. I bent (broke) some laws and made a ton of friends. Thank you all for your support and please feel free to help out a starving artist and share this video with the world.” -Cameron Michael

Birthday Celebrations!!!!

Today I met my ex colleagues and good friends.We had a good time celebrating 2 birthdays :) Here are a few clicks from the day!

My "Precious"

I love finger rings. I have 4 of them. 2 thumb rings and 2 normal ones. I am not into fancy ones.. just the junk jewellery :) My sister just bears with my idiosyncrasies and can never figure out how I wear so many of them...all the time.

So just to prove how much I love them, I will share this incident that happened the other day at work. I make my usual trip to the washroom, and after I clean up I hear a weird "clink" sound. I could not figure out what it was till i noticed one of my thumb rings went missing. It was not on the floor and I hoped that it would not be in the place that I thought it fell..Yup your thinking right, it fell in the commode :( I could not just leave it there...

I did spend the next ten mins washing my hand real hard and applied all the sanitizer I could.
