Go yonder to the ‘ills,
To smell the fresh air,
My lungs, me love to fills,
Neither the dew, nor dusk,
Nor the tea with rusk,
Puts my thoughts,
Onto paying my bills.
For I am now,
Sitting at my desk,
Wondering how,
My weekend went,
But the task at hand, surviving with the band,
Of so called company frills!

I remember times when we used to see some serials that talk about animals, particularly monkeys, they used to show that monkeys, when they get agitated, they shriek… and a lot at that.

now, I think I found our link to our hairy, tailed, social predecessors.

its our security guards.
sometimes, I guess I can just stand back and marvel at the way they behave when the busses are coming in. The cacophony of the whistles, gives the exact semblance to the screeching of the monkeys in the cage…. khhheee .. kheee,,,, khee hhheeek hsskhskhehkekekeke ..

I guess roughly translates to…. “Hey dudes, check out that couple walking towards us, maybe we should act like them, …. no, why should we… look at those poor souls, trapped in a cage… not free like us…. noo… soo sad… HEY.. YOU TWO… HEY… COME HERE… YOU WANT SOME SNACKY SNACKY?… HEY…. they are not paying attention, … obviously Moron,,… Only I, the smartest monkey around here.. Can talk… “Human”….. eeehhhmm… HEY, you foul smelling, ignoramus, potatohead, strange skined moron… get your ass here, before come there and make you…..

and from past experience… we just hear it as….. kkkhhheeee heeeeekkkhehe ekhekheeeheek ehekehekeheeeee ekheeeeeeeekeh ekhkee……
then, we as humans go, hmmm.. look at those cute monkeys, imagine if we could understand what they are saying. Lets take a picture…

well, the security guards, are just the same. The monkeys in the cage… the difference is…
monkeys who have the brains, don’t have whistles, and I cant say the same for us homosapiens.

I have tried taxing my brains to wondering, why… WHY in the name do they whistle so so very often…. and I have come to just one conclusion.
its a male ego thing. “he who whistles the loudest at the biggest bus, is the bravest. Well.. alas… all is woe!!

In my draw!

one of the things that they teach you in b-school is that the best place to find information is by the water cooler.
well, they teach you wrong. the only thing i find next to my watercooler is:
a) empty cans.
b) full cans.
c) a tub,
d) a sponge.
e) a bucket
and f) the water cooler itself.
and not to forget the fire exinguisher.
which i feel is rather redundant cause there is water and a bucket right there, why would someone want a fire exinguisher. this is all part of a large conspiracy by one of the large software companies to brain feed us with utter bunkum. who needs a fire extinguiser anyways? considering that a building is upto the hilt in firefighting equipment.

anywyas, who uses one. has anyone not heard of running away? the alarms are shrill enough to wake the dead, the living and the sleeping so i really feel they have done due diligance by ….. hang on… or….
what if these are empty…. hang on!
.
.
.
.
.
.
(that signifies time has gone by).
ok, these suckers are heavy, i dont think i am going to attempt to fire one of these to actually see if they have “stuff in them”. what do you call it? fuel to fight fire?…. hmmm. dont think so, what if someone goes to “refuel” this suckers, and does literly that….
dangerously disastrous!

hmmmm.!
anyways, i got to get back to intellectually challenging things like staring at my screen appearing to be attemtpin to be doing work… but shh! i would not tell anyone that i am not! guess its nice to be in a company that has like a gazziliion people. no one knows, and no one cares!
🙂

the attack of the keyboard!

ineveitiably, there are bound to be a group of people in any organization who belive that their job is bring out the dirt of their companies.
well, im not one of them, so if you were expecting me to throw mud on “my beloved company” you are wrong. speaking of mud throwing, me thinks there is a rather sultry tone to it. WOW. As in Women on Wrestling or something to that effect, not too sure of what the “O” in the WOW is there for. i guess thats like a lot of things in life. you dont know why its there. there used to be a reason for stuff, thats why it was invented, but somewhere along the line, you loose the meaning of it, and then its just done. i would say its similar to getting up in the morning. why does one need to get up in the morning? i mean, why is the morning set as time the sun rises. why are we conditioned to behave the we are behaving? well, yeah, see, i told you, i dont have much work to do. i just come to office, space out, and when i actually do work, its for a rather short time. eveyrone around me is so busy, its nice to be able to just chill out and ….jsut chill out. period.

I guess we need to create the heriocs of something. let see, the heriocs of Werty. Why WERTY? well, in the keyboard, there is QWERTY, so a person with a name called QWERTY sounds rather QWERT-y, so WERTY sounds a cooler, funkier name.
The series is named The Adventures of WERTY.
Yeah, i think i will write something like that. the advantage is that Werty can take flight in imaginations, and not worry of the shackles of everyday life. 🙂 i likes.

well folks, stay tuned for the ADVENTURES OF WERTY.

: ) all discussions postponed to lunch. Those in aye vote now.

You have been compramised.

The strawberry patch changes to chocolate and others to lure more people in.

If you have been able to fight the force and come out victorious, we will have the coffee initiation ceremony to re-instate you in the ranks lieutenant.

Banzaiiii!

But since we have lost another to the fight! I guess we will let the force reign over this time.
It may have won the battle… but we the coffee drinkers will win the war.

The question you have to ask yourself is,
Are the buildings actually there.
And why is it 14 steps? That is the number we created.
What is time?
Why coffee?

Madan,

Coffee?

Regards,

Just got news that a classmate of mine passed over.
when one hears news like this, it does leave you a bit shocked.
I have realised that these are the times that you do the most amount of thinking.
I knew him. cant say i knew him really well. but yes, he was a classmate. he was also the very first person i came to know in my class. the day i joined he gave me a ride to the bus stop.
its really sad though. but then you wonder, what can you do?
sometimes you are in shock. But about what?
I guess death is about space. 1 less person in the earth. but where do they go? thats what gets one thinking. these are the terms “ever again” which get people jolted.
It gives people cold feet during weddings “you cant look at another person….. EVER AGAIN”…. not that i am equating the two, but yeah, I guess you can do the math.

I am relativly new at blogging, and have wondered, what are the uses of this? expression is one way of….. expression.
its gets things out. talking about things that gnaw on your mind.
Now do you want to forget such incidences, you do need to move on in life right?once in a while i guess one will feel bad about the gravity of the situation, but…. what does one do?

Sometimes, you really wonder. What makes a person tick? what is that one thing that really excites you, and what sets your pace? sometimes its work, soemtimes its thoughts, sometimes its just…. nothing. :-).

this new year resolution,
reason out.
analyse thoughts.
be happy.

getting upset over events and persons gets one nowhere. think about what your going to think. i guess this will increase your thinking time more, and doing time less, but its a sure way to do the thing, right time first time. i guess that would be a better mantra to live by.
life i guess buzzez past… bbbzzzzzz bzzzzzzzz….bzzzzzzz. the time you stop to think and wonder what is happening, bbbzzzzzzz… bzzzzzzzz…bzzzzzzzz more of life has gone. so now you as yourself the universal “Truth” question. What are you doing?
If you stand by a busy highway to figure out what you are doing, more and more of life flows past. but if you are in the highway, you could get lost and head somewhere else.
moral… keep an eye on the road signs. constantly keep checks and balances.

know where you want to go. know not how to get there, cause that is the path of life.
I would rather walk the path of life, with soemone i cherish, to be with me.
its like, if i dont work hard, the path is that through a forest, filled with adventure, excitement, but painful and makes me a better person. at times i need to be able to find the road. the road is a nice well laid six lane highway, with lights to guide me through the night and stops with motels and diners. now if i work hard to make sure i get onto the highway, my life will be smooth, but does that make me a better person. what about the path i had to take to get to that highway. some are born on the highway. i will make my way to that highway. i know it. i will be where i want to be. i am going to go places. I know that. i dont need to worry about anything. i dont know where to start, but i do know that i will not let myself be pushed into the sidelines. i will have what i want, my desires will sort themselves out.

There seems to be a constant chatter of people around me. No distinct voices, just a general chatter. Some women giggling, their high pitched giggles break through the general rhythm of male voices. Sitting inside a male dominated department, there is a resounding peace that echoes from the voice of the fairer sex. There is no point trying to pay attention to what is being said at all times, people are generally talking to each other in sentences that make you think, god, I thought sound traveled fast.
Well, what is the point of these notes? Well, its generally nothing. When one tries and grasps whats happening around oneself, one generally tends to get lost. Sitting inside a multi million dollar company, where the constant war-cry is “time is money”, one cant afford to sit and think. Espically if one’s work involves dredging through purchase orders and doing nothing. What is the meaning of all of this? Am I supposed to figure out that there is some greater good, or this is going to be a learning path to something greater for me? The way I see it, this time when I am not filling up “my bandwidth” gives me the best time to think about alternatives
