A new beginning

In old ages there were People who gave up food, Life pleasure
for Immaterial pursuits... they were called saints then...
Today we call them "Office Executives"


After the 3 days hence I will be part of the same tribe. Happy in its nonchalant ways of life, where one forgets that work is supposed to liberate (arbeit macht frei- german idiom) rather enslave us into modern day. Anyways its not that intimidating too.

I have heard stories from my friends about how work is, but actually that makes me skeptical because this is a free advice and as it is with free advice, any 2 advices are never the same. some are best modest to say- "work is good and worthwhile" (worthwhile of what??..you do get paid..huh??), some overtly exaggerated " that's the best thing to happen to me". I hope his boss was listening to this...sincerely.:-P

Coming back to the topic, work has its own advantage too. After one full month of hiatus, I will be pushed into regulars 9 to whenever-your-boss-call-the-day time slot. Call me a hypocrite, but I do enjoy plucking a few strings of stressful work. It gives me options to do the same work differently. My only compliant is it should not be too routine to become a regular feature. innovation, after all, is worth only till next date.

my work should offer me mobility. I like moving around in office, talking and meeting new people. more like a "social catalyst". off what i heard in shapr contrast- Modern day offices are filled with loners busy with making people more lonely so that they get company (cruel irony, trust me offices are filled with ironies). I just fear that esprit-de-corps, (of what all the hoopla is all about) it might turn out to be an empty preposition . for my part of the bargain, I am ready to scale down my sociali-Zing.

Atlast, in some context my job is mobile. i.e it has location beyond Mumbai. so I am a little worried about how will I do in alien lands. but as my friend reassuringly said, whats life without a little challenge. Probably he does not know the locations i have on my transfer card-
-Shirwal
-Dahej
-Bhagwanpur
-Mohali

coming to think of it, I think I must take a little chance with my luck. unknown places can offer unknown pleasantries too. and Mohali has a Scenic climate and "Oye-Hoye Beautiful" punjabi Peeepals too!!..very endearing ones..

So Finally. Armed with all the Stocks a modern stationery mart can provide, informed of all risk and eventualities , Beaming to the ends with self confidence (or the atleast faking it), HR-Professional Vineet Kamat is finally ready to take his Bosses first order...Adios folks..here I go.

will tell you what was it all about in next blog

A great evening

'Best things happen they don't occur as planned"

Perhaps yesterday my fate read this somewhere, It was supposed to be another evening as is any other evening...(you know those same old, same old evenings). An unexpected call from a distant uncle to join him for a "high tea" was otherwise not a bad option. considering i m only fukat in evenings

anyways, the high tea was fabulous, no sorry the milkshake was great, and the other servings too. the best part was the conversations. right from Special Pani of pani puri and the killing of OBL, to the changing trends in marriage. It was a treat of sorts..

As if this was not enough, A coincidence call from a friend when I was just passing by from his lane. this was enough for me to take a U turn and go back to his place. Having visited him after long time, I could not resist saying no to have dinner at his place. I was hence served exclusive dinner which was just to tasty to described. the best part of it was the talk we 2 friends had.

After it all ended, i was already 10 PM. Conversations stopped only because of limitation of time, rather than anything else. I drove home with this thought in my mind. despite all planning, the best thing happened unplanned.

Blogging Season 2.0

I know my blogs are not very famous, so me restarting is not going to attract a lot of attention still. while advising my friend to take interest in blogging. I had to perform my part of promise.

Some one advised me to countinue blogging and hence the attempt.
