Hasta Manana till we meet again..


Cheesy line from an all time favourite song of mine.. Parting from people we have grown used to is always a challenging task.. While my line of work gives me the opportunity to work in different offices and with different people, it also forces me out of my comfort zone with every transfer that comes my way..

In the past one year I've had the opportunity to work in a branch that can be called as one of the busiest offices in the city and by default I've had to handle a section that I didn't know the A, B, C of.. But this experience has taught me a lot.. It has put me in situations where I've had no choice but to pull up my socks and get to work.. Ive been stretched to my limits on days and I've been able to work in a way that even I never knew I was capable of.. All this is because of the people I've worked with.. Colleagues and customers alike.. The thing about working in a bank is, it probably is one of the few professions that provides us the opportunity to get to work with so many different people during the span of our career.. And when we spend most of our waking hours at our work place the people we work with become our family.. Not taking away anything from my real family and close friends.. While I have cribbed endlessly about work and people in general (And God knows I have cribbed soooooooooooooo much.. My husband, parents and friends will vouch for that) today when I have been relieved from this office, I'm left with an empty feeling.. I won't be working with those ppl again.. We won't share jokes/food.. I won't get to pick up petty fights only to forget our differences the next minute and get to work.. I won't get to learn from these people.. Some of whose experience is greater than my age.. These are the people I'm leaving behind as I step into a new office tomorrow and get to handle a new section.. Something I know nothing of right now..

So, as I bid farewell to the office that has been my home away from home for the past 1 year 26 days, I acknowledge and appreciate all the support that has been extended to me during this time..

Someone has rightly said.. We meet to depart and we depart to meet again.. So until we meet again.. Here's wishing u all the very best that life has to offer.. And I will miss you guys..

Happy Birthday Mummy :-)

Today would've been Mummy's 64th birthday had she been here with us.. However like she said, it's always the best people that get called to heaven early on.. So she's celebrating her birthday in heaven along with my brother..  My Mummy was a wonderful woman who enjoyed the simple pleasures of life.. a homecooked meal, reading books, stitching, embroidery, knitting and she loved tea and had endless cups of tea in a day..  She was an excellent cook and enjoyed cooking for her family.. Even when she made normal stuff like maggi it tasted just out of this world..  So I inherited none of her homely' hobbies, but I inherited her love for books.. She was a well read woman and had an excellent memory.. And she was an excellent teacher and was well respected and loved by all her students.. She was strict with me and my brother.. More so with me.. She had high expectations of me and growing up I had very little margin for error.. I used to resent it that she was so strict and...

Types of friends we all have.. (A friendship day special post)

First of all, a very happy Friendship day to all of you.. I think you have read enough quotes and seen enough reels depicting the importance of friends/friendship in our lives so I won't give you any more 'gyan' on the subject.. But the occasion calls for a customary blog post so I decided to pen down a few thoughts.. I've come a long way from being that naive girl who believed that 'Friendship is forever'.. "Friends forever" is something I scoff at now.. that's probably the cynic in me speaking.. But I've also come to realise that people come into your life at the exact point in time when you need them.. These people turn into friends and then long after they're gone still stay in your life albeit just as memories, but not without leaving a lasting impression on you..   Today I take this opportunity to thank all these different types of friends (some of who are still in my life and some who are not) who decided to adopt me as their friend ...

RAAZ PICHLE JANAM KA

A popular channel is telecasting a prog wherein a person is helped, to find out the reason for his/her problems by going into his/her past life through hypnosis. i was told about the concept of the programme by a colleague. even though i hadnt watched the programme just the description of the programme sent shivers down my spine.. although when i actually watched the programme i was bitterly disappointed. the programme was exactly how she described.. the person being taken back into his past to try and locate that particular instant in his life that left a lasting impact on the person.. The plot till here is ok.. but i just dont seem to understand how an incident can have a lasting impact so deep that it penetrates through the future births of the person too.. a little over the top i should say.. The concept of re birth has been debated over the years.. a lot of research too has gone into this field.. and a whole lot of people can vouch for the fact that sucha thing does exist.. i resp...
