Historic moments caught on camera


On weekends, when you go to the office and discover you have nothing great to do, so you decide to check out the girls' restroom [Historical Significance: Entered a girl's restroom for the first time after puberty]



You spot this prehistoric, decrepit bar. People coming out of it and lying on the road. You are totally excited and add it to the "must
visit spots" in Bangalore [Historical Significance: Your favorite brand of vodka is nowhere to be seen in this desi bar :(]




Though this chick doesn't look slick and sexy in this pic, she actually was! What's more! we stalked her from Garuda Mall to Brigade road! [Historical Significance: Stalked a chick for about half a mile and managed to click a photo too :P]



It's drizzling, so you open your umbrella. A gust of wind comes and takes the wind out of your umbrella! Now that your umbrella has ditched you, it starts raining heavily :( [Historical Significance: Mother nature bitchslapping you. Caught on camera :D]



Caught on camera! what interns are upto :P
[Historical Significance: Mondays are boring 'coz you don't wanna come out of the weekend mode. Fridays don't see any work 'coz you are too excited to slip into the weekend mode.But wednesdays exhibit the eternally strong laziness and bc tendencies in all of us! :D]

An ode to Kothari Complex

When we came to Bangalore, we first went to this place called Kothari Complex. We decided to settle at some other place, but our friend Venkat still stays there.

This poem is dedicated to Venkat. He rocks.......... {warning - might be explicit}

Kothari, Kothari, Kothari
why so totally awry?
a pro will definitely come
and then she will "come"!!!
till then... don't worry :)

cya!

HR Managers - A non-objective classification

I've had my mind on writing this post for sometime and now that it has been over a month since I joined the internship program, I can base these facts somewhat well. :P

Before I begin, some things -

Non-objective... but why?
The facts have been created and not discovered :P + this discussion assumes that we are talking only 'bout the ladies... :D

a) Pr Type -
- They come to the office dressed in skirts (mostly in light colors) and dark top (I've seen several shades of red go well with the skirts.)

- Generally have straight hair, maybe last moment use of hair straightening irons or something...

- These people represent the global face of the company and are mostly found introducing the companies, giving out press details, etc.

- Hard to spot them in cafeteria, recreation centers, gyms and lounges because they are either out or have everything on their desk. Lunch, coffee, documents, anything!

b) Sh Type -
- Generally dressed in sleeveless kurtis. Have an awesome face, come with nice, sophisticated bags and all. Great accessories to complement their looks.

- Their hairstyle is bad, lazily put together with a clip or something. But have these awesome glasses. Like the ones Preity Zinta wears in Kal ho na ho.

- They come to the office with the Let-us-get-it-done attitude. Though it's us who actually do everything in the end :(

- Work really hard and are sometimes seen discussing their work place problems and pressures of working hard all day long.

c) An Type -
- Among all the types these are the oldest of all.

- Come dressed in saris, they look stunning. Stunning as in a respectful way, 'coz they are in the higher rungs of the company.

- Mostly very serious, they have a weird sense of humor and tend to crack these very silly jokes which put you in a dilemma - should I laugh or not?

d) Sa Type -
- Most beautiful of all (seriously!!!) They come to the office in these formal shirts and trousers.

- Have great english. Talk 'bout things other than work too.

- Actively involved in discussions. Have an active presence in social networking sites like Facebook and all.

- The worst part is that they give you loads of work and you never realize it until you get back to your desk. It's like "haste haste kaam de diya aur tumhe pata hi nahi chala tumhara kab kat gaya :P"

e) Me Type -
- Among all the HR managers, the most informally dressed. They come to the office in tops, jeans, converse style shoes.

- They are seen running around taking printouts, following their seniors and all that stuff.

- The best part is you can always go out for lunch with them, though the only problem is that by the time you go there, someone else would have done it... :(

- seen in malls during the weekends where you can always stop by and have a quick hi-hello-bye-see you act.



Hopefully this list is not gonna be exhaustive.............. :)

ciao!

Read on to get a clearer picture

History is the fiction we invent to persuade ourselves that events are knowable and that life has order and direction. That's why events are always reinterpreted when values change. We need new versions of history to allow for our current prejudices.

Life is like topography, Hobbes. There are summits of happiness and success.Flat stretches of boring routine... And valleys of frustration and failure.
- calvin

I used to hate writing assignments, but now I enjoy them. I realized that the purpose of writing is to inflate weak ideas, obscure poor reasoning, and inhibit clarity. With a little practice, writing can be an intimidating and impenetrable fog!

BBC, here we come!

Hey there! For all those depsos who are bored in the city which offers the best nightlife... here's BBC - Bored Bangaloreans' Club. With a slew of activities lined up every weekend, we are sure you'll find yourself in the thick of things and what's more! you'll say goodbye to our club in no time... So! what are you waiting for?? Apply straight away to get out as fast as possible.

Just to set the ball rolling, here's a rough idea of things to come

1. Bungee Jumping at MG Road

2. Stand very close to the VIP stand in the cricket stadium and shout - "Katrina you're so hot but you're also so dumb!!" :P

3. Just like they did in Eurotrip, get a bus full of Liverpool fans (not Manchester Utd. :D) and become rowdies.

4. Get a camera in a room, dump all the people there and play some elimination games, with lots of politics.

Some of the things we are definitely NOT going to do -

1. Watch OC or Gossip Girl in the weekends and drool over their lifestyles

2. Drink vodka all saturday night and wakeup with a hangover on sunday and do nothing

3. Watch Manchester Utd. Vs. Chelsea shitting it out in the Champions League final.

4. Watch a Deccan Chargers match.

5. Going to Cafe Coffee Day just because you don't have anywhere else to go!


Here's hoping people join this club and have loadsa fun....................................................

till then,
ciao!

In a far away

land (where things were still as sane as we think they are in the fairy tales) there was a boy who played pool a lot. But then he used to work in a company where there were deadlines. So he decided to do the worst. He decided to stay in the office late night and play pool but then compilcations arose. His productivity fell. His attitude took a blow and his credibility went for a toss!! man... in no time he was in the same world as us. Screwed up!! Today he feels guilty but there is no place for remorse in the world. Even in harry potter's world, what great did snape get with his remorse?? Try as hard as you may, you can never think of a reason which can justify the rationale behind things as they happen in this world... :(

Off to Bangalore!!

Oops! or rather Bengaluru. Totally excited. Though not so 'bout most of the things one might expect but 'bout the scope of things I'd be trying out there. Have some major plans. Maybe some people might join me there too :P My train would be arriving Bangalore at around 10:30 in the morning and most prolly my bro will pick me up. My agenda for the first day is already chalked out --

a. Go to The Forum. It's just a kilometer and a half from my bro's place and is totally awesome!!

b. Maybe scout for a place of stay for the next 2.5 months... yeah! 2.5 months!! that means my summer hols are gone though... :(

c. Chill maaro!! :P
