Nothings on a Friday afternoon...

'Akhiyon main tu bas jaa,akhiyan mein bandh karloo' (roughly translates to 'Dwell in my eyes and let me close them' - gawd translating Hindi to English sucks! ) from the movie 'Chandni' is playing on my comp right,I get lost into my world,you can see me lying carelessly in my chair now,a typical post-lunch posture.I glance around for diversion,my eyes drift to those pieces of beauty on my board-I can see myself in Edinburgh,around lakes and mountains of Scotland,there I go again!!...no I don't need to get emotional now,so I glance away,everything is boring today at work..most of my friends gone - some gone away, some did not turn up,some quit! Oh yes, I always have my company's "social mailing list" for interesting stuff,can always go there and get a good laugh or two. I open my inbox and look for funny,interesting,weird things my colleagues have to say.. one thing that holds my attention is a thread on how unhappy people are with the lunch served at the cafeteria.. happens all the time.. people are obsessed with food..the curry is not fine, the vegetables are dry, the pakoras are oily,the list goes on..I find these things damn funny..there is talk of a food committee which has been going on ever since the Big Bang happened :-) otherwise some general stuff...I need to get back to work,one last glance at picture perfect postcards from Scotland and I go back.. back to my world of business applications and plsql code..
'kismat se tum hamko mileho, kaise chodenge...yeh haaath hum na chodenge..',a melody from Pukaar(2000) of Anil Kapoor,Madhuri fame plays now. A R Rahman knows how to make filmy tunes from a carnatic raga like 'Abheri' the best!!
