An educated aam aadmi ....Part1

I remember the day when i lost my first job..
Its was start of Jan,09 ,a chilly time in Allahabad,though few rounds of occasional health drinks(marketed by the name of McDowell No1 rum) and a heater in my 12by7 hostel room obviated any climatic adversities .
Those days recession was in its worst phase .Sensex had already lost it senses.Some guy who headed a big company(ironically whose english meaning is "truth") pleaded guilty for "lying" about the companys' revenue.Some "brothers" of Lehmann family got broke and companies were firing people in numbers that can only be compared to number of products the Bacchan Trio(Baap beta aur bahu) advertise for.
There were no jobs in the market whatsoever(except the hoax "client of Fortune 500" ones which were just made up by the naukri's and mosters') Anyhow lets get back to the story...
So it was on 16 Jan,i have already had my dinner and was enjoying a chitchat with p@ks(a very good friend who always has some engaging story to tell)when i logged on my email account to find "regarding joining"
and a click later i was apprised with "will like to deffer the joining till next year".I read the mail a number of times the letters didn't budge .Then i went on to consult a few cigarettes and in clouds of smoke, fast forwarded to the times ahead which promised to be horrifying enough to send chills down my spine(and it had nothing to do with the weather mind u).Leaving the college without a job!!Later i gave myself a boost which i generally do (and most of the people find me obnoxious for that)thinking "chaloo beyy...itney chu(beep) ki job lag gyi hai to mere ko to bahut kuch aata hai kahin na kahin to nikaal hi loonga".
I tried to stabilize a bit by taking myself to the gate,a place about 1 km from our hostel which promises 24 hr-tea and sutta service.
It was already 2 in the morning and only few metres away from the hostel i could feel the chilly wind piercing through the thick armour of warm clothing that i have trapped myself in.I reached there in few minutes only to find chotu(usual designation for children working in shops) sitting there near the stove.I ordered "chotu ek special aur ek gold flake dena"
he replied"eespecial nahi hai sir banata hoon"
Then i went on to sit on the wooden bench which gets very cold at night and one has to take an instantaneous decision on whether he wants to give his bottom the sudden gush of cold .
I found a person in his early forties sitting there.He had blank eyes,uncombed blackish white hair,and a thin empty face with a withered skin .Overall he appeared to me as leftover of the recession hit global economy.We shared a look and then i sat there looking on the road crowded by rocketing trucks.Few minutes later he croaks
"Aaj thandi bahut hai sir"
Usual north Indian style to start conversation...either weather or Mayawati...


DEC17,09 10:10 p.m. Real time
Got to go....will continue very soon....

Tiger in the Woods.....Really !!!

Everybody has something to say about Tiger...Let me also have a say(as i say so !!)
As it goes Tiger is going to appear on cover page of a Sport magazine along with Obama.The magazine will hit the stands in Jan,and its already in print.The cover page says ,guess what,"Ten tips that Obama can take from Tiger".Probably they are gonna add golf somewhere.

But in this furor where everybody is pointing towards woods haven't we forgotten something.He has excelled in a sport in such a way that even a person who does not how scoring in golf is done knows that Woods plays Golf(I am not commenting on u).No person is beyond sport but this guy is an exception.People lose interest,the TRP dwindles down if Tiger is not playing.....
Everybody has vices and so does he.I remember an intellectual commenting that "first time in his life Tiger is not in control"
Well i believe he is.He new that this is gonna happen one day or the other but at that time as well he did what he wanted and now when he is taking break he is doing what he wants !!This is what that is implied when we say being "in control".
After he accepted to so called "acts of transgressions"people have been keeping the counts of his mistress's like a child in LKG(one ... two...ten,hell its in two digits now)For intrested readers see the complete listing here

If you leave his vices behind you will find a person who has always been in the driver seat of his life(of course wearing a seat belt)..and i think who can play a role model for many who have never been focused to there life aims and never pushed themselves to achieve excellence in there career or lives.

I admire him to an extent as "he is all but human"

my first pen stains....About me

Dec 16 8:30 a.m..i come to my office for my daily 8:30-5:30.
With my training still going on there is no deadline i have to meet.I had already prepared my work plan or IDP(individual devlopmnt plan as they say)and the driving motto is" some work and more play".We have to abide by the rules....

So everything except the pay is quite cool here for me.

8:35 a.m
I log on my computer .Check my emails ,nthin exciting there. Then the usual economic times . Though i am immune to fluctuations in gross product index or crr of SBI as the case with " aam janta" is but it surely gives me glory of being a corporate intelligent amidst amateurs (non eco-times readers) when ,with an solemn look and a borrowed cadence from Amartya Sen i explain them the intricacies of the world economy based on my battered knowledge !!

9 a.m wat to do wat to do.......chalo coffee.....
someday u want to enjoy coffee alone talking to you .its one of those days
so i slipped out....
9:20 a.m with a deadly combo of cigarette and coffee i am standing outside my office building thinking about thinking something !!! still blank....

9:45 still nothing ...
lets go to google..
lets do something new .......bloggs
everybody is writing blogs... wats that....
search somethin...
after some careless steering through the searchs' i found myself
staring at "create a blog". And now i m here writing my first post(Hope it does not sucks !!).Till this point it appears to be intresting let see how it is ahead......
It feels like....
"
I ll let myself have what i owe ...
some letters, some words and some thoughts to flow...
and let them flow and bridge the gap that lies between me and my-self"
"
I ll try my best to express myself ,my ideas, fantacies and my realty in best way i can....
