I love strawberries.......

Going to a shopping mall and coming back empty handed...Thats what happens on a weekend...Gopalan Arcade is just 3 kms away from where I stay....Since I dont have any classes on weekends,this is the only way to kill time...there are 4 of us..we wont miss a chance to visit this mall....Last Saturday also we were there...But this time,I didnt return empty handed...

We were checking the new samples that were there in the STAR bazaar....I was busy advising my friends not to buy any products...To support my arguments, I took a packet of tamarind..MRP was 63 Indian rupees...I said-"See...This is something that we get for free at our place...We can even see our people even wasting it...Now here,these people are charging 63 rupees for it...Why should one buy it"...To strengthen my arguments , I took another packet of Strawberries..And when I turned it upside down to check the MRP, the whole thing fell down and soon people around me were playing football with strawberries....I looked around for my friends..But they were not there.....With utmost patience,I found out every piece of it..when I was about to place it back on the stands, one of the employees came ..With a smile in my face, I said--"Bhaiyya..kisi ne giraaya tha...." He said..."Makane...Ee kali ennodu venda..Maryadakku sadhanathinte vila thannittu poykko".......the girls who were near me started laughing...I dont know how Kannadigas understand Malayalam.

I said : Chetta,..Ithu pack cheytholu....De appurathu irikunna aaa imported Fuji aaple um koodi Oru kilo eduthekku...Fruits kazhikkuanthu aarogyathinu nallathaanu..Athu potte....chetante naadu evide enna paranje?,,,

He was not interested....He packed all those things and gave me a bill of 200 rs....Still the girls were laughing....As I got out of the bazaar,, i saw my friends waiting outside...One asked : Where were you? We were looking for you....Ah..You bought things....What happened?......

Mallanmaar..Nambaane kollilla....With that in my mind I said....I read somewhere in the paper that its good to have a strawberry and an apple daily....you people should also try.......


PS:I wanted to post something and what else would I post while eating this imported FUJI apple..,

Eesomisihaaykku stuthi aayi irikatte!

I am part of 3-4 communities in my company, of which I work as the operations manager of WP .Daily we send two words which are not so common in English to all those who have subscribed to the community daily mailer. We also conduct quiz competitions . One such event is the subject of this topic.

K and I were busy preparing the questions. We were organizing this event for the newly joined batch.

One evening, when we were almost done with the questions..

K: Dude, What about the prizes? Shall we put some money from our pocket for the prizes?
I No way.. The company doesn’t pay us well. Now you want me to spend on something unnecessary .
K: But it’s a competition and so we have to …..

I: As you know , even though our community is the largest and the most active community in the company, we don’t get any funding from the company. So if we have to give away prizes , we ll have to find our own ways
K: We ll ask the boss,the head of this community.
I: Nice. for once , you used your brain.

We sent a mail asking his help in resolving this problem

Now this boss ---One of the coolest guys around, involves in each and every activity within the company, Even though his proficiency in English is below par, he somehow managed to become the head of this community.

He replied back immediately saying that we would have to talk to the person who is in charge of the new joinees. We wrote a mail to a lady who managed the day to day activities of the new joinees. She asked us to discuss the issue with a lady , who assisted her .

Now this assistant and me had passed out from the same college. To be frank , she is gorgeous! Only problem is that she is a”haaalelooya” type..I vividly remember one of those times , when I tried to start a conversation her. I asked her some thing then And she started singing something like karthaavu….ivan….nallathu..etc etc….I didn’t get the answer ,but I confirmed, she is a crack .(She reminds me of Inzamam Ul Huq)

As our boss is a panchaaara , he sent her mail regarding the issue..K and I were in the loop.

Hi …….,

For the quiz event , we want to make sure that the campus welfare fund is utilized to buy the prizes. K,H and me want to “bang” you on this………………………………........................

Regards,
P
(I am pretty sure that the mistake was unintentional)

------***-----------

Even though P made the mistake ( he still doesn’t know about the difference between the words ) , I was the one who had to suffer . Before the event ,whenever she saw me , she used to smile. .After the event,she murmurs something which I am sure is from the holy book of Malayalam theris and not from Bible


PS: No wonder , why he is the boss and I am the Operations manager!!!!!!

Adventures with passwords

In a corporate office, where we have to work as a team , where we have to give up our personal space and have to work together as a unit, you should keep passwords which make some sense or rather you should nt keep “PGP encrypted" passwords(if u know what i mean).....


The day started on a good note. People started appreciating my work. Got to know a lot of other people in the workplace :D.As I had finished all the work that were assigned to me, I thought f having some fun .Made fun of colleagues, chatted with many at the same time abt the same thing, but different versions :P etc etc...Then came the “Katrina”. Manager pressed the alarm button. And we all were in the conference room with in 10 minutes. He started by saying that we are doing good , but still we needed to stretch ourselves so that the release would happen on 22nd.Now we clearly understood what he meant by that !! We need to stay back till midnight to finish the work. Still I wasnt worried coz I knew there was nothing much I could do.

Evening 4, i was assigned this task which needed me, my time and my machine. And the third thing in the list is protected by my password.(keep in mind pgp encrypted)...While doing the task, we had some issues, and it was becoming too dark. The project mates were kind enough to let me go at 9 pm..Without any second thoughts, i accepted the offer.

00 00 am.I got a call from my team mate..
Dude..I need your password..Its urgent. We need to fix this problem urgently or the release would be delayed by one more week.
Me:Ok, dude! It is *********...
Other end:Wait, madam , can u note it down..***,**
Thats when the thunderstorm hit me..The girl team mate was still there....Oh..****...What would she think
Me:Dude, you don’t have to tell her ..You can type it..
Other end...Why?Coz she is sitting on ur system right now.And phone is in loud speaker mode!!!
Me:WTF!!!!!

At 2 :30 i got the msg, we finished the work successfully..Jai bolo team ki......

Next day in the morning.....I changed my password!!!I changed it to a much more decent one! :d
And again in the after noon, while iwas attending some function, i got a msg from the girl team mate...Dude, your ******* password is not working...pls send us the new pw!!! Urgent!!!!!
