Wanted : Psychedelic-Coloured Pyjamas
So we're already into January 4th 2009. The first four days of this year have turned out to be so full of office work that I've left the motorbike in the parking lot and taken a cab to head back home instead, for it is too dark, too late and too dangerous to head out on a motorbike at the unGodly times that I exit from the office. Why not my [...]
“Geographies” and “Based Out Of”
Ever since I joined work four years ago, I've heard the following two expressions being used in a manner that I find weird / counter-intuitive compared to how I'd heard them being used conventionally on previous occasions. The first one is the usage of the term 'Geography' as a noun to refer to a particular region of the world. I'd remained [...]
Make Laziness Official
If you're human, you'd have been affected by laziness, and this overwhelming feeling of inertia would have prompted you to not do anything that you are / were supposed to, or to procrastinate until such time that the feeling disappears. It is perfectly normal to be lazy, but somehow it is not looked upon as a desirable trait when you're a [...]
Much Ado about Leave
For four years now, since I have commenced life as a working professional, the subject of leave is a very touchy one, so far as broaching the same with one's managers is concerned. I have noticed that while I can talk about any leave plans I have with some manager that I have already worked with for a few months, if I have to inform a manager [...]
Wanted : LOL Code Developers
It was a fateful day sometime in the early part of this year when Tharunya sent me a link to this popular internet meme called the LOLcats. I found it quite absurdly funny, and thereafter, forwarded the link from this meme to a few of my friends, who, I was certain hadn't seen it before. In turn, on receiving that link and having seen it, I was [...]
LOL Speak v/s Tech Speak
With the popularization of the infectiously absurd but funny internet meme, the LOL Cats, LOL speak is now among the in-things in the present day pop culture lingo, in line with 'RESTECP' as said by Sacha Baron Cohen in 'Ali G InDaHouse' and 'All your base are belong to us', from the Jap game 'Zero-Wing'. I confess to cheaply conforming to LOL [...]
Voter’s ID Mayhem
I am now the proud owner of two voter's ID cards, no less. Make that three, but I am in possession of only two. How and why this happened is what the rest of the post will tell you, with some additional irrelevant details, as usual. The first time I got my voter's ID was when I turned 18 and was gung-ho about getting the indelible ink put on my [...]
Ramzan and the Call Center Employee
A few people I know - colleagues, friends, colleagues AND friends are fasting through the month of Ramzan as is expected by their religious credo and have hence experienced a shift in their eating habits by gorging food like crazy if they can during the time between sun-down and sun-rise and not having any grub at other times. This is one of the [...]
