Privatised Sector

One thing I like about these privatised banks is, they really believe in keeping their customers happy unlike the public sector financial institutions. Had been to one of the private banks today to get a DD done for a friend of mine. She had withdrawn the amount from the ATM of the same bank and wanted a DD made out of it. The withdrawal wasn't required at all as even without the remittance, the DD could still be made. Unfortunately she did not carry the necessary documents along (check book, identity proof etc..). These documents are required if one deposits cash for DD. Somehow, we met the Manager of that branch and explained the whole situation and how urgently we needed the DD. We were lucky enough to finally get the work done. Was really happy with their customer service. Nevertheless, the usual practice followed by the private sector Organisations is, they are customer-friendly only till the individual is not a customer. The moment they manage to make the individual a customer, the level of service automatically comes down. I may be wrong here, but this is what I experienced.

Back to yet another day in the No MAN's LAND...

Here I am, back at a place that makes me feel I never belonged here. The worst phase in someone's life would definately be the last month at the workplace after putting your papers. How much I hate this! It's often considered to be the best time when you can really enjoy and be relaxed as you needn't worry about your work cause somewhere deep within you know you wouldn't be here for long and therefore you wouldn't be held responsible for something you didn't do. Maybe by the time they realise that, you would have already faded away from their memories. I still have not started feeling relaxed. I guess, I would not until I have really left this place.

On a day like today!!!

This was the song that started my day yesterday..had been for a medical checkup..Its been ages since I got up early on a Sunday morning...I had to get up and go to this hospital which is so far away from my home sweet home...how much i hate these so-called formalities that we need to fulfil prior to joining an Organisation!!Well, with my previous experience, I imagined we need to fast prior to these check ups...but once I reached the hospital, I was asked to have breakfast and come back. Well, somehow felt nice wen I gotto know I could finally feed my poor little starving tummy(I guess this again partly constituted Murphy's law, I was starving for breakfast yesterday wen I've never really felt like having breakfast ever!!) ..well, I had been with a fren of mine...this hospital is situated right next to a mega mall...we wer hunting for a decent place wer we could have a simple breakfast..but, all we found was a place that was so fancy. The song.."On a day like today" by Bryan Adams was playing in the backgroud..thot for myself..Wat a perfect day!!! I asked for the menu and and they gave me a list having tons and tons of options...phew!!!I luked at the menu and all i wanted was a simple breakfast tht cud feed my poor starving tummy and here i had some exotic delicacies, majority of which you wouldnt even think of having for breakfast!!!Well, somehow came to a conclusion on what to have for breakfast and rushed back to the hospital just to finish off the checkup.

Like majority of them, I too get shit scared just with the thought of someone poking a needle on any part of my body...i still can't believe the thought that inspite of this needle-phobia, i still managed to get a tattoo done..phew!!!Wat an experience that was..i was so adamant on having one..wen i saw the guy with his drilling equipment ready to move it on my arm, i thot THIS WAS IT..!!!well, now thats another story to be told....

Coming back to the check-up episode...there wer many otherz waiting ther jus like me and i cud see ppl patiently waiting for their turn. I was desparately waiting, trying not to think of the needles. Finally, my name was read out by the doc and he called me and asked me if i was scared. I said bravely..ME??nah not really..jus that i am not comfortable with the needles..he wud have definately made out luking at my expressions how shit scared i was jus looking at the needle...i asked the doc if i cud scream wen i was being poked and he was generous enough to respond in affirmative. Well, i told him i wud control as i dint want others outside to think i was being forcibly tortured. Once this was done, i was asked to relax my arm. Ooh..i felt so relieved that it was over...I only hope I dont have to be in such a situation again...

Lost in a world unknown to the rest!!!

It's pretty weird but I am luving it...In the midst of doing my work..listening to Pearljam at the loudest possible volume from my i-pod, it reminds me of those videos where in the singer is stationary while the rest of the world is simply moving around at a very fast pace...hmm...it's almost a similar situation, just that I am not singing here (otherz at office wud b thanking their stars for this!!!)...why is it so quiet here?Cant people shout and scream??Why shld everyone look so calm and composed even though deep within they want to scream and shout and take out all their frustrarions?

Soemtimes I wish, I had the ability to read people's minds. It would have been so kewl. Imagine a person whom you hate to the core coming and talking all sweet stuffs to you...Ah..could have had real fun then...hmm...the very thought is exciting enough..unfortunately, it cant happen...unless somone discovers a gadget for that..maybe i need to work on it...ya rit!!!

The rocking gang at 'No Man's Land'

Hey...I guess it's high time I updated everyone about the rocking gang of four at the so-called 'No Man's Land'. Well, earlier it comprised of only three members- The Crawling Chimp, The Extrovert Means and ofcourse not to forget The Lady Deathstrike!!!Phew..together they rock our world...the latest addition to the band of Rockers is a Spying Mouse. Life has been a lot more happening with the new addition...Oh boy!!!the lady deathstrike and the syping mouse are all the time thinking on how to gruel others...by the way, there are a number of ways to gruel us...one being the filling up of never ending stupid layouts with rectangluar blocks!!!(hope u know wat i mean!!).

As per them, the whole world sits jobless like them and we have all teh time in the world for all their crap. Somebody..help them!!!They need Psychiatrists..anybody who could volunteer??Pls...

A Boring day at work

Wat a boring day..I am yawning like crazy...I guess someone is thinking abot me a lot..wonder who??Ya..ther are quite a few to think now..as I gave my resignation today...phew..i never knew a piece of paper could bring in so much of happiness...

Why are we never happy with our work??We are always looking for something better..therz jus no stability with anything..be it at work or personal life..we all look for changes around us..but, y dont we get a simple thing in our head straight..that its not the outside that requires the change..but, we gotta change ourselves!!!Only then would things seem to REALLY get better...think bot it!

Football?

Gosh!!!I wonder wats the big deal with this game??Every Tom, Dick and Bihari seems to be talking abot the game these daz..even though they wud have hardly watched a single game...I don understand wats the issue??Ok..a game is afteralll just a game..u neednt consider it a matter of life n' death! I see such weird ppl at times who are bent upon talking bot the game simply for the heck of it n' all i feel like doing is...telling them..BUZZ OFF dude!!!
Seeing this Worldcup fever spread like crazy..I have decided to have a club 'THE ANTI-FootBALL' club...this is for all those who agree with my above comments.. The motive of having such a club is mainly to filter out the genuine football lovers....anyone..wanna join??

Dreams-real yet so unreal!

Dreams are so different from the reality,
if dreams can be so peaceful and calm
why cant I sleep forever?
What is the need to search outside,
when you know U are complete from within?

Untitled

When the journey seems to be long,
and noone is around..
When everything seems to be fake,
and no decisions left to make..
You will see me right beside you,
can't assure to be of any significance
But my comforting presence, you will always find...

New day has come!!!

I am happy...infact I feel, I am on cloud nine!!! It's been a constant struggle from some time now..time wen i felt life was leading nowher..everyday was jus a struggle and nothing else..the tendency of life to get lost in the midst of the ever-increasing crowd...

But today, I know what the literal meaning of the phrase 'Therz a silver lining on every darkening clowd' symbolises!!!I dont know what life has for me in the future..but, I can atleast feel happy with the present...three cheers!!!!

Staring eyes!!!

I feel funny today...HAve ya ever tried wearing formals with a pair of jogging shoes??Guess wat??I have done that..infact I have them on now...Gosh!!!Wat an emabarrasment...it's ok if u r stuck sitting in ur cubicle all day long having ur feet hidden under the desk...but, how do u keep away from the stares wen u r moving around?Luckily it's still not been noticed at the place I work..but, i cudnt help avoiding those stares that i got from ppl while i was away for lunch at the mall...gosh..!!!Why cant people understand...being 'kewl' is actually being DIFF!!!

Life...a struggle to live!!

Life has always been a struggle..and it continues to be one...a struggle to live..a struggle to move on with things..but will this struggle ever end?We all have to go thru our share of sorrows..and ofcourse, our share of happiness as well (even though at times, it may seem to be an imaginary part of a complex function!).

Every single day reminds you of the number of years you still have with you...all the unexpected circumstances that you will need to encounter in the long years yet to come..If only I knew wen would this journey come to an end!

Discovering the 'Cook' within ME!

Oh Boy!!!Am I proud of myself or what!!!After so many months of leaving behind my culinary skills, I had actually started to think, I wudnt be able to cook a decent meal for myself unless I actually spend some time in the kitchen...but today, I was completely surprised to prove all my pre-conceived notions wrong!!Made amazing alu parathas...so heavenly!!!Feel sad for all those who were deprived of the heavenly bliss of enjoying my parathas:-))

On a day like today....

Volla!!!Its weekend..time u look forward to for all the wonderful things that u cudnt accomplish during the weekdaz, especially wen u r at work and something aint happening the way it should, all u think of is...to take a long break from everything around..but due to your negligible quantity of offs remaining, u gotta think of an alternative and thats wen u compromise with the cuming weekend!

I get extremely excited about the weekends..esp on Friday evenings...if u look at me, u will definately wonder..wat on Earth has happened to this gal??Has she won a jackpot or something for her to look thsi happy??Hmm...I am sure most of us feel the same...We are never happy with the kinda work we do..nor are we happy with the environment in office...It's sometimes real fun to hear wat ppl have to say bot their office and not to forget their office colleagues...I cud write a book on it..naming it 'Office- A NO MAN'S LAND' ..

Talking bot office...well, again ther are so many kinds of species found in every single office...the first kind and ofcourse the most commonly found species..are those who believe in making their presence felt..i wud call them the over-enthu characters...these are the ones who would want to get involved in every single matter around them, whether its related to them or not...!!!It's bettter to keep urself away from these kinds..they can get a bit dangerous at times...

The next kind of species are those whom i wud categorise as 'the cribbers' hehe..now these are the ones who end up cribbing abot everything around them.bot their colleagues, their work, the office environment, their systems, to the extent of even cribbing bot the office boy....we all crib at some point or the other...but this variety of species is so used to cribbing that it kinda becomes an obsession and even if something gud happens, they wud still end up cribbing abot it...i wud again advise u to stay away from these..coz cribbing at times can get contagious!

Coming to the next character type..these are the so-called 'gossip mongers' or in simpler terms...'the gossipers'....lol...we are all aware of this variety..they are found everywere...independant of the place or the country!This again cud be categorised further...as 'salty gossipers' (yuck??) and the 'spicy gossipers'...salty ones are those who do justice to their behaviour..as in it's jus the trasfer of data from one person to another without involving any pre-existing data stored in the brain!They are harmless ppl...but the other category..spicy gossipers are those creative ppl who believe in activating their creative minds to the data inputted in their brains..mix it with a lot of non-existant data..and then transfer the new set of spicy data to the other person....u gotta be really careful bot these...wen i talk bot them, i constantly get this saying at the back of my mind..'luks can be deceptive'..yup..dont go by the way a person of this species looks...dont get carried away by their innocence...!!These can prove to get really really dangerous!!!

The next species...well, i think i shld stop here...i guess i am getting carried away...it's so difficult to put a break wen u have so many words to put in here....:-)

Youth of the Nation..

Nah..I am not gonna talk about POD now..It's jus that ther are a few issues that kinda concern me..an issue that tops my list is about the Youth of our country..i am sure most of us have given it a thot..but has anybody ever done something abot it??Well, i guess we all think of so many things that we want to do for others, but due to lack of time or patience or anything for that matter, we somehow dont get to fulfil wat we wish for...isnt it??

Wat is the future?Nobody knows..but if things continue this way I am sure, i definately can predict it aint gonna be safe anymore..all I see around is a brooding dark world...and i am not being a pessimist here by saying all this!!!I only wish and pray for drastic changes..and hope I do something about this and not just keep hoping like the rest!!!

Amidst the never changing RED LIGHT!!

Now this is something that really really irritates me...how wud ya feel if u wanted to get to a place asap and u r on ur way to ur destination and u c the green light at the junction from a distance that kinda brings that sense of relief within..but all of a sudden..wen u nearing it, the green changes to red..now thats wat i call 'testing ur patience' situation!!!!

Here I am....

It's been a coupla daz since I caught up with my blog..well, I guess it's high time..especially when a fren of urs tells ya..hey gal...I am fed up seeing the 666 post on ur blog..cmon man..its high time u get some thing else ther..hehe..this is dedicated fer u man..hope atleast u dont get confused now!!!

Time jus flies..and every attempt to catch up with so many things left undone simply fails!Wonder wats the solution for it...this is the time wen it makes me think, i need to be a bit more organised now..ya rit!!!!I have been thinking of this from day ONE, but it's never happened..u think it's that easy to bring in a change after u r so used to living a diffrent life for the last 22 years???

666-The Number of the BEAST!!!

Hey!!!Guess wat's the date today??6th June 2006...6/6/06...couldnt have missed an opportunity to note this down..feel a bit devilish today, wonder y;-))!Nevermind!It's usually so difficult to find time to write thinsg here, but then its always fun to do it...look at me!I am in office now..was keying in today's date in one of my applications and bOOM...all of a sudden got this thot...ok ok now will get back to my work..befor my manager throws me out..hehe

A Stranger within ME

Herez an original:

Amidst people I have lost my own identity,
I search for my individuality,
but by the end of the day,
I seem to be a stranger to myself!

Life of a wannabe...

Well, now i am no different from anyone else wen i say i wanna be this..i wanna be that!We all have dreams, its jus that a few of them work towards achieving them while the rest go to sleep!I cant classify myself in any of thees two categories, coz in some way or the other, i belong to the both!One of the most bizzare dreams I have had so far is the one wer i am performing in front of a huge audience...maybe in front of a crowd of thousands...hmm...alas!it's gonna remian only a dream..now this is wen i feel i belong to the latter category:-)

Guns n' Roses - AXL rulz!

Now, does that ring a bell??Well, this is one of those maiden rock bands that i started listening to...have always been a music frreak!!!!!Still cant believe those initial few days wen my world used to revolve around the so-called "pop" bands...but, things r a lot more different now. My music taste slowly started inclining towards rock music..and now its jus this genre of music for me..

U'd be certainly wondering why on Earth do i have a weird username as MYAXL..hmm..now therz a story behind that as well..i have always been crazy bot AXL ROSE from GNR...the first ever song i listened to by that band was November Rain. The moment i listened to it, i fell in luv with the band. I had a different opinion of the singer tho..as the singer sounded a lot more old, and then a day came, wen i gotto to see Axl in the video Sweet Child of Mine..whoa!!!I was rather shocked...that was the day n' today is the day...the intensity of feelings towards him still remains to be same.Strange isnt it??

4th June 2006

It's never too late...luking at this world of blogs, i feel i am the last one to discover this place...but like i said before..it's never too late!!It's been a busy day from morning..feel this is the best way to end a busy day..by jotting down the whole day's activities...afterall life shouldn't let you miss out on a few beautiful things that you forgot to observe due to time constraints..
