Let me start this writing with thanking Abhilasha for all her support and strength in this entire new project. She is being sporting enough to let me be the part of her dieting process that had started from 7 days. Today has been the second day that we have gone for the mandatory 45 min walk, which never extends beyond 20 min. accompanied by a guava and lot of talk.
The entire episode which will go down the history of our team, started with Ashwini, deciding to gym. The virus spread quickly. All in the team and ended with Abhilasha joining VLCC. Ashwini paid a good amount of cash to gym, which she hardly does. Next to hit the diet floor was Nishant with him skipping the breakfast for a cheese sandwich followed by a heavy dinner.
Joining the race was Abhilasha. Paying a huge sum of money, for not eating, as proclaimed by Harsh, on her dieting.
This was the case few days back, when all were trying to fit into her regime of dieting…..(u c, getting benefited by VLCC while only one pays).
Anyways, the situation now is that she is having her date ,oops…I mean her diet of cucumbers ,apple’s and pears, while we hog on missal pau (a maharastrian dish), lunch near Kanbay office tapari (a small shop).Meanwhile,Abhilasha is getting ready for her marriage on Feb 25th.
Way to go, baby…we will follow you soon

Archana
Archana my first room mate from my MBA days in Bangalore paid us a visit yesterday. She was visiting her friend Sophie who would soon leave to US. Archana has always said that I am quite similar to her friend Sophie (u see we shout a lot).
Going back to those days spent with Archana at Bangalore, Rajaji Nagar hostel were great. We cried, fought, watched a lot of movies together and then departed .My room was occupied by 3 beds which was shared by Archana, Pavitra and me. Pavitra eventually moved out .Joining us was Vidya a lass working as an animator. She spent only few days with us.
Coming back to Archana, she was one lady who would take all the time on earth to get along with people, but once you become a part on her life, she would treat you as there is never tomorrow.
She used to be that elder brother who always protective. She was so concerned that when I said that I was in love with my now husband, then boyfriend that we fought .I took it all wrong then, just to realise later that she just wanted to protect me from all those heart-breaks. How right she was, to say not to believe this guy with his Casanova past. But no, my “first love” was nothing in front of the good friendship. Eventually I did break with my boyfriend only to later marry him (the story soon to follow).
How to forget the days when we used to rent the DVD player and the entire hostel watch the movies like ”pyaar ke side effects”, don’t remember the name of the movie where “Tabu is raped by a ghost.”
The night spent waiting to hear the news of the birth of her first niece. How she dressed me up for that dandiya night with Meher. How she waited till late into night when I went out with my friends on the “new years eve”. How she introduced me to all those English songs .How she would constantly remind me on how to spell “environment” right? How she took care of me when I slipped the stairs from ISKON. Those days Saturday nights when we would oil each other’s hair.
How she would constantly call me to find out if am doing good after marriage, am I managing things well? Have I settled well in Pune? Still wouldn’t forget the entire space that I would take up while sleeping.
Archana thanks for visiting us. Miss you.

BANEGI APNI BAAT
Well it is long time since anything has happened around office…well office has always been bustling with activities, rather happenings…we have a people, oops should be saying employees, isn’t…anyways sab chalta hain……with there normal activities…..And I have taken the responsibility of recording the events around…so here they go……
The toppers in the list:
The item girl (IG) : She has actually taken up the job of making people around her going bonkers….you see, she is the only one who can with utmost confidence say a thing that may be wrong.
Episode 1: (at the bay)
Boss: Guys, is “xyz” a java guy.
IG (promptly): boss, he is an oracle DBA guy
We all check around and find out him to be java guy. All eyes roll towards "IG".
Boss: Miss. IG, who on earth gave you the idea that he is a java guy ?
IG: well, I just thought so. Nothing wrong is it?
Epi: 2 (at canteen)
IG: ash, please don’t laugh so loudly, so you may get fatter…
Hearing this we all laugh more loudly, also questioning her “why”?
IG: Well, you see you may swallow some air and grow fat, Never know….(rolling her eyes)….all of us split into more laughter.
Episode: 3 (at meeting)
Boss, all fuming with anger, had called out for meeting in his typical sign. Fingers pointed to the meeting room. These days, he pointing fingers at doors, giving cold shivers to all around. Well, you never know who will be jacked.
Well, coming to the point:
Scene: Boss, fuming at anger
IG: But, sir, nobody gives any right answer to any questions I ask.
Boss: who, who is that? Name it. Let me see.
IG: it’s H. He never bothers to give me any right answers.
Others just hold them tight not to give out the peels of laughter that normally accompanies them.
Well, one can just continue with her “kissa”. But since we have all other waiting in line, need to consider them.
The die-hard shopper 1:
One hungry morning, all waiting at “kaka ki tapri”
DhS1: "yaar, sabke motorcycles aa gaye, yeh bhi aaya, who bhi aaya, magar sirf samose wale ki motorcycle nahin aayi….."
The entire tapri in action…..imagining how the samosa wala would be in ninth cloud, thinking and seeing a dame thinking of her and awaiting her. Thinking, how she will sing the “yaad aa rahi hain” song for her.
Well, we have also named her samosa eating skills after being inspired from Abhay deol’s movie “9.40 ki 4 samose”
Well, for others are just busy with the holidays that are coming up.
The die-hard shopper 2 “Planning (expressions scared and happy at the same time) of her “go goa” trip to eat fishes…poor fishes….
The loving husband: Planning for both his kid and also taking classes with Ramdev Maharajah…..now, now, you should understand that “aap to kaate peete gharana ke hain, pata laga biwi inkar karde pechchaan ne se
The Funny man: too busy planning marriage, in his own world of wife, house and marriage, and secretly imagining his good days ahead. Magar, beta, bhool gaye,shaadi motichur ke laddo hain, bhai, jo kaaye pachataye…….

His lovely pair of beautiful eyes….they are so beautiful she exclaims!!!! His eye-lashes, oh…so graceful!!!! Hey, weren’t’ we discussing about what to gift him on his birthday…I think we should get him this lovely light –coloured shirt. This will suit his fair complexion. And yes. Please get the size 42...I mean don’t laugh at me like that…it would surely suit him well!!!!
Hearing this entire team is rolling out with laughter…Ash, was crying!!!You see “kushi ke assoo”.”
Niraj asked her,”Shalaka , what do you think we should call him”. Pat came the reply,” SEXY SAM”!!!! Sexy sam, absolutely…..pearls of laughter in the cafeteria.
“Haan, aur nahin to kya!!!! Kitne sexy dikhte hain. Arre, sexy also means beautiful yaar.”
Shalaka, did you re-worked the database. If you can’t please tell me, I will.” roared, SEXY SAM.
Awakened suddenly from the illusion, she resumed her work on the database.
Smiling, she starts humming.

Office, Office!!!
Well now bored of sitting in office. It is not the same place with loads of work around as it was initially. Now the work is minimal and we get lot of free time. So thought of writing about the place from where I work., rather people with whom I work.
So, here they go…..
The die-hard shoppers
Shopper No.1
Right now getting some training from “gonchu looking lady”. A die-hard shopper, she knows which shop, place, time does a sale happens and she has to be compulsorily be there. She can shop till she is dead and still gather the strength to come alive and go shopping. Beyond shopping she can imitate people so well that you can split into laughter just seeing her doing so. Again a think that she can hog on is chicken in any form.
Shopper No.2
Die-hard yes, she shops till she is broke and then starts fresh again when the month begins. Quite a sweet lady who now is trying to her wits end to reduce. Gymming her latest hobby, besides plunging happily into upteem number of vodka. She can be on anytime of the day as she claims…no no…don’t get the thing that she is a “die –hard on the rocks”..she is die-hard shopper that’s it.
The man with extra funny bone
He can handle any situation and crack the most hilarious pj .His brain works overtime to find new “PJ”. There was a time when I thought we should trecord his “PJ”.Jokes apart , on avery serious note he is the only one who can tolerate and give weirdest of idea any time . His right brain works wonder while talking to the “item lady” of the team. (read about her as she follows)
He calls The die hard shopper the “Yamraj of chicken.”
Mr.Homemaker
The all time wife- lover. He can sings sagas about his wife . But should say she is an amazing cook .The team pounces on his “dabba” especially when his wife cooks it. Again a person who needs to hit gym very badly but very happy with the way he is .
“The item girl”
Well not to be taking in its literal sense. Item girl because she can do certain things which nobody in their wildest of dreams cannot imagine doing. Like writing out the funniest letters to everyone around, blaring loudly the name of the AVP to find out who he is….
I mean she is full time on and can give you one of the worlds best news about anything ..ranging from food to cineme. Take examples….the Chinese food contains “earthworm powder”…gosh!!! Would you want to taste it again.
The comeback –Kid.
She held this long fight and came back successfully…no idea as to how things went about, she was all gleaming with joy the day she entered back to office.
A lady who can take a trip of anyone around, guys be careful…quite forgetful though hasn’t got the book she promises everyday to bring. But can rattle off stories about the lady currently visitng her home.Poor she , has to listen to all the “gyan” of this so called”I am happy though-behenji lady”.
So, here they go…..
