Today ShivSena leaders told that naming the Bandra-Worli sealink after Rajiv Gandhi is a great idea as the link is to be used by all Indians and not just Maharashtrians.

Karnataka Govt announced today that they will honour the Cauvery water tribunal award even if monsoon fails.

Times of India decided to publish more news and less of "views" as filling up the paper with socialite photos is demeaning and insulting to the readers.

Tamil "comedian" Vadivelu announced that he will not do "banana skin" slapstick routines as tamilians are sick of juvenile fratboyish "comedies"

Day broke.

Load of crap! - Out of context!

These days I am fully dunked in jargonese - jargons and officialese, a heady mix indeed!
I am just giving some samples below, plain english and what it gets transformed into.


I don't have enough time - I don't have the bandwidth.

We'll use the information - We'll leverage the material

2 people are needed for this work - 2 resources are needed for this assignment/project

Tell what you have understood - Prepare a functional appreciation document

Prepare a PPT - Prepare a deck

:-)

Thinking aloud!

Does sending personal mails through office mail ID amount to using office stationery?

Does blogging from office system tantamount to diverting office resources to personal work?

Illegal or unethical?

As my guru ordered!

"If I should meet thee
After long years,
How should I greet thee?—
With silence and tears."

Over the months, I have neglected my blog. This year has seen me move cities and jobs.

Whenever I check my blog, increasingly sparing as the days pass, guilt engulfs me. Sometimes I have thought of taking down my blog. But that is the only evidence I have of my writing skills, or the lack of them. So I decide to let it be.
And today I had further push to continue where I left.
So I am writing about writing to give me a start.
All I hope is I become prolific as I was.

Why this happens to me?

I tend to change my desktop pictures often. Looking at them is a nice change from doing important tasks like orkut-surfing, chatting and checking mails for the nth time.

Rarely, I allow salacious pictures to decorate my desktop. The rarest of the rare times I have them, my friends who happen to be girls use my system.

Hurt hurting hurt

Something that hurts, happens.
Down with depression.
As if personal pain was not enough, office irritations rub it in.
There comes a stage when you go numb and nothing matters to you, atleast you think so.
Then something worse happens to someone your friend. The thorns which had you as pin cushion get thrown off. A fury at what happened to your friend alone simmers.
It's not that something good has to occur for you to forget your worries. Sometimes closed ones' misfortune can make you forget yours.
Unfortunate but true.

River struggles; A dam cracks.

Some hesitation.
A shyness to come back to what I left.
New found friends left behind.
Hectic schedule. A mere excuse?
Why the block with so much to unlock?
I wish to write.
To put down what all I sight.
Feeling guilty hasn't helped a bit.
Still I wish an old fire be lit.
I hope I blog again.
Come back to live in the world of my choice.
To live in the world of my choice
As I exist in the world I am in.
I am getting a life.
