my work timings are difficult to judge, my ex-PM Suri had given up on me. He never knew if I was coming to office in evening or at night. He just mailed me in case he did want to reach me :). Though the shift timings are from 3pm to 11pm or 11pm to 7am and i usually ended up coming in at 5pm to 2am or 9pm to 6am. I just got used to it and folks around me too :) ....Yes, working in support project :(
Having thought about leaving early, i ended up coming in before 4pm and attended the meeting too. It was pretty long but there was something else that delayed me in starting my work when I realized that my last date in project has been extended, promised to client (not sure which Mother ka promise they took !) that I will be continuing in this project for next 15 days... for a moment, I could see my mom calling up my PM and giving them a piece of her mind ! (she has been lately putting up an Oscar winning performance of Durga from Karan Arjun movie !... "Mere bete aayenge!" ... more than 6 months since bro & I have met up and we had a family reunion)...
To my surprise my vacation was not cancelled, I was just needed to provide consulting services and this extension ensured my emailid stayed active along with server access. This was due to apparent discussion of my PM with MamB & MaC yesterday which ended up quite dramatically !!! ..
The second surprise of the day was my application for a Bangalore project getting approved and I needed to speak to a delivery manager and discuss about the project details and kind of client interview I can expect. The project is for a Financial company and it would be good to get selected in case they are using any Automation tools like QTP. It would be good boost to my career to shift to Finance domain with some automation experience but yes, personally I would miss Hyd..miss you dear!.. so fond memories !
The work started at 6pm and it was more of investigating than consulting. If I ended up working with these circus clowns for another month, I will end up being the greatest Dad in the world. My level of patience will increase ten folds and I won't care a damn if my kid is shouting on top of his lungs, crying till your ears starts bleeding, or even peeing on you (my well trained kid will not pee on me :P).... When you are learning to start riding a bike, the first things you need to know where the breaks, clutch and gears are... the High-Low beam light switches are not important !!!. It was going beyond my patience limits - after investigating and providing them with inputs it take some balls to ignore me and trying to further investigate !!! ..and on my behalf, its not my ego that is coming in between here but the seriousness of this issue and a long list of pending issues and work. Further investigating is good and i will definitely appreciate going beyond what i could investigate, provided you had nothing more to do... there are another 10 issues left pending while we go on digging deeper into black hole !!! .... and after all this ..its gets escalated to engineering team ... take that for your efforts !!! --|--
During all this melodrama I was informed about the plan to reach my friend's house at 12 and joined in the game. It was 4 of us initially and Rado going in for cake, Basanti/Me for flowers and Kau with her dramatic entry/acts... Had a curd rice dinner (stomach upset since few days, quite possible due to insomnia !) and till 10pm seemed like everything was going as per plan. We gathered at 11:50pm near the house and later showed correctly at 12 !!.. and Yes...that was a pleasant SURPRISE !!! .. The look on their faces was just purrfect ! .. Happy B'day , cake cutting , eating, chit chats, gossips, jokes (Dharamji has a good sense of humor !).. will surely miss them in Hyderabad - they are the only inspiration i get to get married... perfect lovebirds !
yeah, quite a Surprise Surprise Surprise day ! ... and remarkably all were sweet, pleasant and memorable...
a person who loves, who cares,
who sees a person’s need and fills it,
who encourages and lifts people up,
who spends energy on others
rather than herself,
someone who touches each life she enters,
and makes a difference in the world,
because ripples of kindness flow outward
as each person you have touched, touches others.
Your birthday deserves to be a national holiday,
because you are a special treasure
for all that you’ve done.
May the love you have shown to others
return to you, multiplied.
I wish you the happiest of birthdays,
and many, many more,
so that others have time to appreciate you
as much as I do.
