Howling Nights and beaten days - TOI

Just read the article written by a Journalist in TOI .I personally worked in a multinational call center 2 years ago !!!!!!!! it was my first job. I had gone for interviews all across bombay and yes secured many offer letters but the salary was something i really wasnt agreeging to. Now i have sobbered a lot.You all know how you feel as soon as your out of college.I wanted a descent job with a nice pay package that was the criteria "PAY PACKAGE" .Being a girl trust me it was so damn difficult for me to make my Dad understand why i wanted to do this job especially if you have a Dad who doesnt care how much money a job gets you.Finally i started working the NIGHT SHIFTS.The first 6 weeks went in training .We were taught all the tricks and trades of the process.The security level was to be taken care of since our so called clients from across the globe were very scared of identity theft.The daily routine was obviously like Lucky nights you wake up and days you sleep ! on the day off as well you would be so stressed out that you would just crash into the bed.
Nights passed by the routine became the same !!!!!!!!!
But all this while what i didnt realise was that there was this other world other than the one during the day !The people workign during the night have hardly any contact with the ones working during the day.Eventually you form a family of your own !!!!
You have so many people who are sailing in the same boat that you have been sailing into .
You tend to get " Bonded"
bonded since they are the only humans that you are in touch with .
Not all customers are nice to you you get so many callers who abuse you may be for your race ,for stealign employment from their sons / daughters, for being an Indian.
The one thing that i was really proud of was the fact that we were never asked to put an ascent and no pseudo names for us as well .Our process heads didnt believe in that concept for some reason And something in me made me feel proud for the same !!!!!!!!!!!
As much as we detested the fact that we had to work in the night it definatly had its own perks ..........After shifts the roads would be completly empty we would just ride the bike through jsut to get the wind running between our hair.Have a nice cutting chai from the fello who would be standign below the building carrying the tea in a steel vessel on his cycle .He would provide for cigretts and biscuts and other small items.He was the most wanted fella during our breaks coz of the lack of shops around at that deadly hour of the night .
Many friends of mine found their life partners while working .They are setteled now with babies n all !Initially the bosses were dead against couples or spouses workign in the same process , they were councelled to either change process or change the companies !
But eventually i guess they settled with the idea !
After nearly a year and a half i descided to spread my wings and move on leav my life as an owl and " move to something stabler in life" as my folks kept saying.Hehehehehehehe...finally i did .But i miss all that i did then especially the fact that i dont get open roads any more alwyaz get stuck in traffic.Dont have the pleasure of having a cutting T in the middle of the chilly night.

Well all good times have to come to an end i guess .....................

Motherhood

The other day a very dear friend of mine delivered a baby ! A very sweet pink looking human.She had the most beautiful fingers and feet i have ever seen. Very small and very delicate. As i saw my friend struggle to hold the new life in her arms she seem to be completly lost as to how to handle the new being.The condition was like wise with her husband as well. He was shit scared ! My friend being just 2 years elder to me obviously the next thought that came to my mind was that now very soon im going to be the next one ! The though of marriage freeks me out so you can imagine wat this thought did to me.I went bezerk ......... Just imagine a new life in your hands you can make it or you can break it ! till the child is not matured enough to think right from wrong hes your toy!!!!!!!!!!! even a single wrong thought can make a big difference to his life.......................
Not that im scared of responsibilities but the though just scares me off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now with work i really never get the time for myself once i have a baby ohhhhhhh.......its just going to get messy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I dont know im still so scared with the thought !
The irony of life is that its the most joyful moment as well !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love

Came to office today after a long time ! had a nice weekend with my fella !
Hes such a darling i must say always wanting to see me happy !
I just love that guy hes as crazy as im !n a bit more shy from the world than im !
The sight when he feels shy is soooooo amazing that it just turns me so damn on ! hahahahhhha
hes my darling !
but office sucks big time !
im like completly love struck ,just hate moving away from him !
the time i need to get out of his car is the most painful coz im not going to see him till the next day.
Ouchhhh! just the thought hurts !
I just hate moments without him , i know im completly in love and its a passing phase but im enjoying every moment.
Love the way he holds my hand.
Love just leaning against him and talking endlessly
Love just looking into his eyes
Love the way he smiles when i meet him
Love the hugs i get from him
Love just sitting on his lap and hugging him
Love him !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Never intended to write this but dont know the loves just in the air i guess

Sucking collegues

I have this amazing office i work in .Absolutely secure in every way .Its so safe that you can leave precious things anywhere and no one will even touch it. By accident i went ahead and left my cell phone today in the ladies loo and the next thing i know its mssing ! This wld hav been the second cell that i lost the thought justfreeked me out man ! I asked the house keepers who named Mansi and Vaidehi(my collegues) who had come to that place after me ! the next thing i do is obviously ask them ! and they plainly denied it !I had my heart in my mouth i was like doomed to iternity coz i was sure i wasnt getting a cell again ma folks wld have grounded me big time ! then finally Vaidehi can with the cell phone i was so damn pissed on that woman ! I never ment to yell at her but it just happened that my voice got raised ! All this fiasco happenes and my boss never even bothered checking if i have found my cell back again and who had taken it andplayed the prank ! Dont know y but she just doesnt seem to notice me in this organisation !
The only thing that got me pissed is the fact that after repetedly asking the two women they never bothered answering the truth couldnt they see how worried i was ?????????????
and as far as my boss is concered i realy dont know y she behaves so funny she never wants to look into my problems ! AHHHHHHH.................................
THE DAY IS GONE SO GUESS I SHLD FORGET WAT HAS HAPPEEND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fire in Schradder Duncan

Today around 8:45 am there was a lot of smoke coming into my house.The early morning tender air was today a complete killer.There was a fire behind the Schradder Duncan company( i stay bang next to it).Since the company has recently sold its land to a builder , and if you have noticed the vegetation in that area i naturally assumed that they were trying to get rid of all that greenery by burning them. this fire went on for an hour.After which i suddenly heard the sciren of the fire brigrade. And lol the next thing i know is they have come to extinguish the fire next to my place.I was really amazed at this taking into consideration that the people at the company being so close to the fire never realised it was an accidental fire and that the fire brigade was just a 1 min drive from my place and they took an amazing one hour to reach the spot.
This made me start thinking how safe am i incase of a natural disaster? with all the people trying to do different things to keep themselves safe from natural disasters such a tiny incident made my mind working !
But a good thing that i did was finally got a sweing kit for stiching a nice picture.Its a swan that im going to make i plan to gift it to my Dad on his b'day so let see how sucessful im.

Hapy Feet

The other day i went to watch Happy Feet ! its an amazing movie ! Loved the cuteness in the animals shown and the character Loveless was amazing ! hmmm never knew such an animal existed .but it was cute ! its a movie for every age from the adult point of view i guess it gives a nice message that even a single person can make so much of a difference.The message was put through so efficiently !

I'm really crazy to do crochet and tatting and stuff now i want to start with cross stitches. I have seen quite a few things that can be done ! they look so amazing !

And the best part is that im working today ! my guy has just come back after enjoying his weekend at lonavala and im stuck in ma office working i so much missed being with him !
Thinking abt changes the only change that has come abt is the fact the the regular pani puri wala has increased his rate per plate by INR 3/ -. earlier it was INR 15/- and now its INR 18/- it seems that everything else just increases except for my salary ! Upraisals are over lets see wat my company has to give !
