It just gets better n better........

after the unfortunate incidents in Bangalore for the folks of certain industry. I recollect vaguely about an idiom that speaks of making the best of an adverse situation. Well never could I do that nor seen many do the same. But the folks I mentioned have nearly managed it(pun not intended). They will get CISF guarding their offices!!! Instead of taking measures to ensure proper coordination between intelligence branches of states, the Govt. has come up with this. The rules will be bent, cough..cough rules will be amended to accommodate the provision.

Now what will be next on the cards?? Total levy on the meagre taxes that they pay, paving way for increased revenues for the companies and pint-sized increase in salaries of the slaves that they employee. I have a better suggestion, controlling the Rupee and Dollar exchange rates, for that matter all the currencies these guys deal with, and making sure Rupee will be in a better depreciated state than it is already. And the people who lead these companies will speak how they are the sole reason for growth in revenues and recognition. It is time that people stop talking only about how our political system and politicians are, corruption is, and limiting their extensive purview of knowledge to these.

Every day is a new day.....Well!!!!

Right from my childhood I heard that 'every day is a new day'...'don't remember the past, think of what needs to be done now', etc, etc and when speaking of remembering past experiences(that might be so good that one ends up being stalked by those memories all the time) never did I give thought to any of those statements, cause I love remembering every thing that I was involved in. My philosophy is 'when I have plenty to learn from why should I forget'(well learning can be postponed, right! so, I do it all the time). Now when it comes to my job, every other day you come across people with different attitudes, different comprehending capabilities. It took me a while to get myself acquainted with the job and handling people. And believed I devised a way to do my job. Time and again(that would be every 2 hours or so) the 'way' had to be abandoned, and a new way was to be searched.

Ever fell and landed on your chest, ever been punched so hard that air is knocked outta your lungs? For a while you try to breath, and you can't, all you can do is have visions of the life spent and you wait for the 'tunnel' and the 'bright light'. The first issue did that to me(and the afore mentioned did that too), I couldn't do anything for a while, only difference is that instead of 'tunnel and light' concept, the 'U r fired' concept was playing in my head. Somehow, managed that issue, lesson to be learnt was 'do not expect'. The place where the 'lessons learnt' are stored seems to have a backdoor. So, took me as much as 2 weeks to realise the 'do not expect' lesson properly. Well now that I am lil older and have lesser distractions, realisations dawn upon me and seem to have an effect on me, or am I being made to believe that. This 'positive attitude' and 'optimistic outlook' things fool you into believing what actually aint existing!! As of now, every day is new, every issue is new, one ol thing would be to try and make some use of good ol brain. ;)

Its "A for ˈa-pəl " not "A for Aa-pill"

Thats what you are made to learn after you enter a BPO MNC(read as BPOs, whose presence covers the vast expanses of two countries, sometimes only one country), at least for the mortals who can't speak english the american way...oops can't speak with a 'neutral accent'. The story doesn't end with Ah-pill, but ends with Z (not ZED, its ZEE) for Zee-bra.


My mom used to say 'it was tough getting you to speak let alone reciting the rhymes or alphabets". I used to think "how smart am I to have reached schooling without doing any of that!". Later on I got to know there existed something called 'promotion'.

One fine day I found myself singing "A B C D E F G.... Z", against my wishes. I was doing that in a training institute, where I was sent to learn speaking english the propah way, cause the BPO that recruited me realised I lacked the neutral accent. In ischool I missed on the classes of grammar and always felt that a heavenly force saved me from those. When grammar classes began in the institute, I realised that hand aint protecting me no more. I did everything that I skipped at school, be it talking on a topic without giving much thought to what comes out of the mouth(some call it extempore), arguing wildly about points that make no sense at all and many such extra-curricular activities.

Contrary to the script.....I actually learnt a few things in the training, eventually forgot them soon enough, cause as they could do a harmful thing of helping me out someday. By the end of those eventful days..realisation dawned upon me that 'kuch paane ke liye kuch khona padtha hai'. Learnt the actual meaning of the phrase, but not the lesson.

*Realisations and Morals will be a regular feature :p.

**I love Bpos..now, all ye perverted souls don't start thinking otherwise.

Christening....

I Anirudh Manohar Priyadarshi...

very humble...
educated...
well-groomed...
witty...

I can go on and on and on about my qualities. And I am very smart...intelligent. Awrite...enough of the looks, I admit that not one of the said qualities do I possess.

I laze...wonder all the tym what went wong!! busy concocting stories to save my #@$. Never get tired of football, lying around (pun intended). Lately found my lost confidence, cause I realised lying with a straight face is not that big a thing. And I promised God that I will pray to him regularly, but I don't do it until my bike starts skidding....I wonder why! I find it hard to wish people on their b'days, greet people. And wonder why do people make such a big fuss out of it!! I suppose its got something to do with attention. I'l talk of attention in detail some other time.

All in all I am a human who errs more than often. Well if you are wondering how did it dawn upon me, I'd say 'cometh the hour...cometh the man'

muhahahaha
