I have to resort to this, coz I can't seem to conjure up anything of my own...

Caution: E-mail forward ahead...(Thanks Sadiya)

In a trial, a southern small town prosecuting attorney called his first Witness to the stand - a grandmotherly, elderly woman. He approached her and asked "Mrs. Jones, do you know me?"

She responded "Why, yes I do know you, Mr. Williams. I've known
you since you were a young boy, and frankly, you've been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you're a big shot when you haven't the brains to realize you never will amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you."

The lawyer was stunned. Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked "Mrs. Jones, do you know the defence attorney?"

She again replied "Why yes, I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster, too. He's lazy, bigoted, and he has a drinking problem. He can't build a normal relationship with anyone and his law practice is one of the worst in the entire state. Not to mention he cheated on his wife with three different women. Yes, I know him." The defence attorney almost died!

At this point, the judge brought the courtroom to silence, called both counsellors to the bench, and in a very quiet voice, said...
"If either of you bastards asks her if she knows me, you'll be jailed for contempt."

A touching song with a great message from Lee Ann Womack

Hope You Dance

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder,
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger,
May you never take one single breath for granted,
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed,
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

I hope you dance....i hope you dance.

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance,
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin’ might mean takin’ chances but they’re worth takin’,
Lovin’ might be a mistake but it’s worth makin’,
Don’t let some hell bent heart leave you bitter,
When you come close to sellin’ out reconsider,
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

I hope you dance....i hope you dance.
I hope you dance....i hope you dance.
(time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along,
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone.)

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

Dance....i hope you dance.
I hope you dance....i hope you dance.
I hope you dance....i hope you dance..
(time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone)

5 Years… and counting!!!
Monday, June 26, 2006
25th June, It’s been 5 years since I have been working with NLG (Phew, that’s a long time!) this is quite a BIG achievement for me considering my short span of attention (Pats on my back)

Without sounding toooo gushy, a lil thanks to all those who helped me see thru’ these years:
Lynda: Thanks for taking care of me, sorting me out when necessary and for all the chocolate slices to cheer me up when I am feeling a bit down… you are simply the best. Thanks for always being there.
Shane: You are the BEST BOSS anyone could wish for, Thanks for believing that I’m good at whatever I do (I believe u too :))… I am gonna miss you when you move into the Fluffy Zone.
Jon: Aaah what can I say… You are a gem of a person.. Always try being like you but I just can’t (hard abandoning my evil self). Thanks for putting up with all my tantrums and my mood swings.
And the Big Guy (Dave) who makes me feel so spesh, like the second best thing that has happened to NLG (the first one being himself, of course!!)

And last but not the least,
Venu: Thanks for all the support through the years without which I could not have made it. THANK YOU!!


Book I am currently reading: Angels and Demons by Dan Brown

Song Playing: Ya Ali from Gangster, it ROCKS!!

Concert @ Chaucer
Friday, June 23, 2006


Last night we have been to the Concert in Chaucer School, it kicked off at 7.00pm in the school hall and went on till 9.00pm.

It was amazing to see all the tiny tots up on the stage showing off their skills with great confidence and enthusiasm. Well-done lads n’ lass’!! Keep it up…
Anu had performed Cow Pats, he was looking gorgeous as a kiwi farmer in his gumboots, singlet and his shorts, as usual he was at his best smiling and showing off… God bless you Sweetheart…

Amidst all the beaming proud parents cheering and clapping, the show was all in all a winner.

Aisa bhi Hota hai!!

One day Lord Shiva decided to visit the earth and try some alcohol.

So he changed his get-up and went to a bar in Delhi and asked the
bartender: "What all do u have".

Bartender: "We have whisky, rum, vodka, gin, beer etc etc.".

Lord Shiva: "Let's try whisky first, give me 5 bottles of whisky".

After having 5 bottles of whisky, Lord Shiva decided to try Rum.

Bartender was shocked:"Who is this man, after having 5 bottles of
whisky, he is still on his feet".

After having 5 bottles of Rum, Shiva decided to have beer. After
Having 40 bottles of beer, he asked the bartender for Gin.

Bartender couldn't stop himself asking him: "Sir, who are you?? I’ve seen people getting drunk after having 4 glasses of whisky, and you've almost had 50 bottles and you are still on your feet, who are you"???

Lord Shiva: "VATS, Hum Bhagwaan Shiv hain".

Bartender: AB CHADHI ISKO!!!

Hum hain iss pal yahan,
Jaane ho kal kahan..
An awesome song from Javed Akhtar and Musical whiz A R Rehman!!!..

Julienne Cowan, our HR Manager had enough of us (can’t blame her really) and decided to bid us farewell this Friday 23rd June, to pursue further opportunities.. She has been admirably filling the role for the past 16 months on a contract and has done a fantastic job. Apparently she is planning on taking a break (well deserved, may I add) and also will be working on getting her sense of humour back, (well..that should tell us all about a HR job)

Although there is an official “So long Folks” afternoon tea on Friday, she has been very sweet by taking us (only the OPS team) out for lunch to GPK’s on Ponsonby Rd, yumm…the food was just divine… Thanks Julienne!! (yawn & yawn) I feel sleepy now....

Personally, I am going to miss all the looong emails and her abundant energy in the office, but on a positive note we got a cute looking guy, Carl Cheater as her replacement :)

Wishing her all the best in the future endeavours..

Debut Blog..
Saturday, June 17, 2006
Alright!! After lots of haans and naas and great deal of confusion, me decided to follow the brotherhood and start blogging!! Waise tho, not a person with a great flair for writing, but all one can do is try, so here I come!!

hmmm..what does one post in their first blog? for one who never had difficulty dishing out crap, it is ironical that I am kinda stuck with what to put in here. so I'll start with why I am here, I decided to give blogging a shot when a friend of mine suggested, "why don't you start blogging?" and I said to meself "why the hell not!". and here I am... Though suffering from a temporary relapse of words shortage... I thought I will start blogging today.

My blog will be more like a journal - work schedule/ personal / social responsiblities permitting - to record a few moments of my life, so that years later, they might revive memories..hopefully all good ones. So, if you have just stumbled across this blog, welcome aboard and I hope you enjoy the ride!

Music of the moment : Chand Sifarish from Fanaa, initially wasn't a striker.... but guess its kinda growing on me, been listening for almost the whole day, go figure!!

Pearl of wisdom : Man Plans...God Laughs.. (sounds quite philosophical nai, I know)

Book I am currently reading : Die Trying by Lee Child (If you r after some action, this one is for you)
