Somethings

Was just going through my earlier post about just random thoughts coming into my head and putting it down. It does make for interesting reading! mind you.

You might have found me ranting and raving about inane posts of people on their blogs; it IS fun reading it! Fact is - i had fun reading my own account.

My shoes - they are white. As in - shiny white. And i like to keep them that way. These are white sports shoes and not leather or other such horrible material so - please keep Jeetendra out of the picture...

Yeah, so my shoes - they are white in color; and i like to wear them to work; because they are comfortable. I get panicky only when it starts to rain, coz then ull have to wash them, because they ll get all dirty. Really an exercise in futility. Because they ll get dirty again. So ill wash again.

Caught in a vicious circle eh?

A guy at work - he just wont use his brains when he is working. Gets my goat every time. On an average through the day, i have to lose my cool with him at least twice. And its not music to anyone ears when I'm angry. I try to control profanities exiting my mouth because it is an IT company; they generally do that there because of all the women around. Only at such times i fervently wished i was in a manufacturing company. Over there; profanity; is the norm. If you are reprimanding a person otherwise, it wont be deemed as communication, rather; they will call you a 'Ch*****' behind your back!

Get my point...?

The posting options on blogger has a monetize tab at the end of the dashboard...what I'm wishing is my bank account should have a tab like that as well. I press ' monetize' and million is added to the account. even if it is make believe. Maybe it can be just given by the banks as an amusement or something.

I 'AM' sleepy now.

THE bossman

Hello! boss man here

Yes! i have been moved up the pecking order for the current project that i am into. So, now i head a team of 5 people obviously excluding me.

And it feels like I'm in the thick of things. Its a different high to order people around and them coming to me to ask for this or that :D

But at the same time it does feel like a responsibility that one has to shoulder to move around.

Also, i may have realised that i tend to turn into a control freak as i move into this role.

I am hoping to turn that around and loosen up more to the role thereby settle into a more comfortable last/second last week of the project.

Trivia

While i was going to write this post, i just managed to catch a glimpse of the number of posts that i have written. Its at 92, that's pretty interesting by way of trivia. Doesn't matter to us as much in life though. I have noticed people write the most trivial details of their lives and others read and comment on that. I find this strange because of the fact, that in this fast paced world, where information is everything, people still indulge in these trivial pursuits.

I have come across numerous blogs where there are just updates, not very unlike the status updates on their face book pages. Only more elaborate. Morning i was in the coffee shops, spotted this cute guy (obviously a girls blog!) and then went out with the girls in the evening. Ah! shopping is so much fun.

Comment: So true!

Why do people insist on using Blogs as a medium to market themselves, wait - not market, make a godforsaken reality show of their lives. You tube is better medium for Christs sake! And, where do people find these profound comments by way of answering or agreeing.

So that explains my endeavour to write about the bile that just arose out of nowhere.. instead of the poems that you find on my blog. If you can call them poems...more like haiku's...

I have been meaning to write a short story for a long time now. I have written three stories and a novel as well, which is-to date incomplete. It is loosely based on my life with a lot of creative leverage thrown in for good measure.

Although the stories are complete. and they read well mind you. Sent some to a friend of mine and she thought i wrote well - but could use some work.

If it was veiled attempt to tell me that my writing sucked, i would prefer to ignore it!

Another trivial update of my life is that the curtains that hang from my windows and the color of the walls do not match. is that problem somewhere in vaastu? can some one help?

i mean, OK-this is what i thought, I'd bring in yellow and green curtains so that the room would be kinda bright and stuff, but it was a complete mismatch with the walls that are creamish pink. It is horrible when you do think about it but not that bad when you actually put it up!

Its always better to make lists when sorting things out is what my 3rd grade teacher told me. So two issues that are hounding me...well not hounding, but a slight prick..

1. My incomplete novel and my short stories

2. My mismatched curtains.

Netra

The eyes have it

they always do

expressive and intense

soft yet sharp

fixing me in a stare -

but not exactly

piercing through to me

searching for something

a truth perhaps

grow wide at a realisation

laugh accompanied by a twinkle

they confirm what they seek

those eyes

they speak...

Afterglow

Lights reflecting on the calm waters

rippling with the slight wind of the Caribbean

shimmering in the wake of a boat

returning to the harbour

meeting several of its moored kin

the breeze ruffles my hair

as the sharp salty smell catches my breath

the lighthouse searches for the lost

its beam stabbing into the grey

as the light catches my face for an instant

recognises the calmness

and stays in on the afterglow of the twilight
