We mainly have three phases in our life when we form strong friendships……the first one happens when we are in school so they become school friends then we have college friends and ultimately office friends.
Bonds formed during these three phases , if strong remain for lifetime. But I personally believe that people we meet during our college days especially if one get’s to stay in hostel are our closest…reason being……… well they have ‘lived’ with you ….seen you through good and bad…..those our people who would know us in and out.
When in school we spend some time together but not significant enough to know the actual person…..and office well again personally finding a friend in office is rare almost impossible and if you happen to find someone …well then “lucky you!!!!!!”
So recently ….out of the blues I had this sudden urge to meet/contact all my old friends …….but I have lost touch with almost all of them and I am not feeling great about it….infact I am wondering of If i ever drop them a Hi..Hello message they would be pretty much surprised/shocked.
Well firstly for starters let me tell you I am not a very friendly person on the first glance…when I say so it doesn’t mean that “I have horns on my head and would knock you dead”…..but I am not a person who would ever approach the other person first … let say I am somewhere between shy – arrogant. Nor would I make any special effort to keep in touch..make calls drop mail etc etc…but yes once I consider a person friend that is going to be for life. I would never even say that how much would the other person mean to me because I generally assume that its quite obvious…….. I am also and impulsive idiot and have a habit of blurting the first thing that comes to my mouth…and off course my famous temper….
Given a chance I would love to change these things about myself but then its kindda late and I am kindda old now…so obviously with all the attributes mentioned above, very few people have stuck with me and if I could I would have awarded them with a bravery medal
Anyways…….i think I done enough self bashing so would take a break …ciao
PS I am super bored and have nothing much to do so you can obviously imagine my state of mind…..

So much So soon
Thru ought my adult life the only thing I have mostly importantly carved for is a “stable life “ , a life without any alterations…..but as goes the saying “Change is the ultimate constant “. The moment you think “life set hai boss” bang on….. something happens and life turns upside down….
So pplzz…I have finally decided to ditch my job for higher studies……..and trust me that’s the second biggest decision (after deciding to get married off course) I have taken.
Since the day I started working I was clear only about one thing that I wanted to do MBA….this wanting at that time was primarily because of the fact that everyone else was doing mba and technical stuff was/is not my cup of tea exactly. Hubby says , I am allergic to technology. ….but gradually when I started working I did realized that why MBA was such an important thing for me (the reasons should remain best known to me hence not blogging them down)
Nearly one year passed and I did nothing to suffice my fancy of doing MBA (I was all busy enjoying perks of being independent wink wink )….as I was about to finish one year in my project my PM ‘R’ asked me if I was interested to join the onsite team in UK… the last word of her sentence rang fire bells in my head loud enough to momentarily knock mba out of my head and I promptly said a yes :O.
Now this was a feet as I had not even completed a year in project and I got the opportunity(yeah that what it was called in those times) but the sweet story turned sour when my PM informed me after a week that my application could not be processed because of some rule change that required me to complete 1 year in the project : (ironical isn’t it) . Disappointed nevertheless disheartened my clumsy brain remembered the word MBA and rang an alarm bell again, so without any further delay I joined CAT coaching class after paying a whooping fee of 12k (well that was more than half of my salary that time )
I totally engrossed myself in CAT studies and gave away simple pleasures over weekend…… all was well for few months and comes another twist in the tale…..my PM informed me (she assumed I would still be interested which in fact was true) that I would be leaving for onsite after my visa comes and that would be after one month . Now…..you see there is something about us humans no matter how much we deny but we are lil greedy people…so my super greedy mind thought let’s take this chance “CAT to deti rahongi but bar-bar UK akele jane ko nahi milega..enjoy kar le abhi tho ....kitna aur padegi”. I then spoke to my mother who was initially quite apprehensive about her youngest and most spoiled child living alone in and alien country but after sometime even she agreed that going to onsite would do me good . Hence my CAT plans were dropped temporarily for a very long time .
Finally last yr I did gave CAT which in turn was a total disaster and now since I am pretty desperate I have decided to go ahead with the choice I have in hand so basically it has taken me six long years to get into B-school (hopefully I won’t take this much time to get out of it)
So June 30th happened to be my last working day with M….the day I resigned I was relieved and emotional at the same time…..and why not six years in one company with one project and one team is definitely a long time……….until few weeks ago I was planning to renovate my house and planning some shopping and now all plans have taken a backseat……..as me and hubby would be staying in two different cities for at least (and hopefully) 11 months.
Anyways…as papa always says all happens for good……..with this faith let me bid ciao …..have a wonderful weekend everyone ……..Enjoy!!!
