Hi Guys,
Oct 19,
I have spend more than a month in my present company and I am enjoying every moment of it. The most eventful chapter of my stay is my attempts to swing the cricket bat. I went for another session last thursday. Since it was a working day I was to reach the place at about 6:30 in the morning. And this time I did not take a bus. Instead i got a lift direct to noida. Sitting in pilot seat of a truck on an empty road is sure a great experience. The most memorable thing was the truck getting into a pothole and me almost hitting the roof.
After reaching the stadium we did some practice and for a change i did connect a couple of times. The best part was someone commenting on my footwork (I would really like to believe that there was no sarcasm intended). But then good things don't last and my magnetism worked again. The bowler's whose ego I hurt by connecting the ball had himself avenged. He threw a beauty which completly missed the bat and landed straight on my foot. So ungentlemanly tactics to get rid of a master blaster. I have a crape bandage on the foot and effectively out of practice sessions for another week but after that I will surely return with more details of my magnetism at work.
Then the group we have out here is pretty active. You hardly feel that you are working in an organization. When the entire team is in the canteen or the cafeteria invariably you have someone like the VP or the COO coming down to remind us that we have our college days behind us. Noble intentions but my feel is that these guys are going to have a hard time making us behave.
We have a yahoo group. Each one contributes. And mind you there have been very little forwards. There were some interesting events like birthday bashes and some wacky polls. There was a Chatter box poll with a certain individual(not me) winning hands down. In the Mr Smarty poll I am a close second( No kidding I really got votes besided my own). All in all we are a motley crowd of individuals from different parts of the country. I will give you the details as time goes on.
Then this time the size of the to list is quite small compared to previous instances. The reason is that I feel that each one of you would be interested in these small tit bits. I have a very hectic schedule and so do most of you. I see these mails as a means to keep in touch and to connect to all of you who have made an impact on my life. I dont want to grow old and senile like the bosses around me. I still feel that my best is yet to come and the college days and the past is nothing in comparison. And you all will be a part of the wonderful days to come. I feel strongly about it but would feel better if these efforts are reciprocated.
take care
