Tedhhi Baat. All Bakwas.

• I have ended some 'Friendships' 9 year long ones, if I may use the word in a non scandalous way . I know it's cruel, callous and insensitive in a way, but I need to end what's not working out, at least for me. It was draining me out and leading down an alley which had an end more dead than Abraham Lincoln is. I know I am being bad by cutting off from it . Makes me a not-so-nice guy. But if you want to save the baby from hepatitis, you need to stick a needle in his bottoms . And for the record , I tried to keep it alive all these days even if they never deserved it nor did I ever needed them.

• Have become incredibly assertive at work. Am shooting off mails which rattle up people the way a rattlesnake in your soup would rattle you. Got into a sharp debate with our purchasing manager last week .Took apart an office boy who was taking his time checking if my courier had come in. Planned to kill my driver, I am tired of people walking all over me , and I am letting them know I don't like it . And bad news for them, I am liking letting them know .


• I am transforming into a workaholic. The types who can’t remember at 4pm what they had lunch at lunch break. From last two months the time sheet shows a 16 Hrs work for me every day. Last week’s whole nights I sat with my boss for a tender. Then the other guys insisted that I get a girlfriend. Not that I want to be on the cover of Time. But I like working.

• I regret not helping a kid who wanted help with her school farewell speech . I said I will help out , then totally lost track of that . If they had a record for the number of promises broken, my picture would be in the Guinness Book. Front cover. Full color.

• I think I should stop bugging Suruchi the RJ of radio4. Heard her saying something about telephone bombs on the show lately. But kya karun can’t resist calling her after listening her phrase “Tension Nako jee”. 


• I love my family more than anything and will stab for them. A female receptionist at my office called me a mama's boy when she heard me saying "missing you, Bou" on phone . I said "Yeah , I am a mama's boy . I love my mom. And I totally understand it if people from your side of the world (KERLA) eat their mothers , but we dont .We love them all our lives." I actually said that. If you ever needed to understand what a stunned woman looks like, you should have been there .


• Why does everybody in the conference room laugh when the big boss cracks an intended joke? I did not find it funny. A funeral is funnier than his joke was. But the guy on my left slapped the table twice and roared. Another one could not stop giggling for a complete forty second. I mean, was it in the terms and agreement when they joined?

• Some time ago, a friend of mine, who seems to be a male from what I know of him, commented on face book that I am a lovable person. I still have not decided if that is to be classified as a compliment or a gayish attempt at molestation.

• Five years since the college. And I am almost into the habit of thinking in bullets. I think you have an idea of that.
