Owner's pride.. Neighbour's envy

I did not feel sad on the last day of my school or my first college for +2 and neither when I graduated from my engineering college. Though I very much miss those days now, I felt extremely happy that time as I was entering a new phase of my life.

When one thing ends, it is surely the beginning of another

Call me stone-hearted but I never felt the urge to cry coz I knew my friends would be just round the corner and might be a call or mail-distance long from me but here with me on this very planet (sad thing that I am not much friendly with aliens). A girl from my company group got engaged and it was her last working week with us in the previous week. So since a fortnight, there were various sessions in the company; crying sessions, photo and video sessions etc. (Vaibhav I got myself a youtube account but couldn’t upload any previous videos :() I won’t go into details coz she reads this blog more religiously than I update it :P. But if I were to stop coming here from tomorrow I would be the happiest person in this world (apart from my colleagues I bet :D). The pics below were not from these sessions but are more than a month old. The one below was taken after I bought the C&H book. Thanks to V and P for renting their stuffed lion and panda for the pic. I had told my friend who clicked this pic to keep only the book and the two toys only in the frame but some people don’t understand what they are told. Anyways, zoom into the whiteboard if you can and read it. By the way I finished that book like this kid here.. he he.

Okk.. the above call-distance away sentence is making me feel guilty now coz I am at the receiving end of a variety of expletives since 1-1 n ½ month now. My mobile is refusing to come out of the dandiya night hangover. First it broke free from the trad costume pocket and went flying between cars on the Mhatre bridge. 2-3 visits to the service centre and applying my gujju and marwari speaking skills I bargained and bargained and got the screen fixed. Then after a few days suddenly it started behaving erratically and since then I can’t receive/make any calls and messages. It shows full network coverage all the while but on dialing the number The user is out of coverage area or The number is switched off is what one can hear. The cost of replacing some stupid IC in it is the amount for which this mobile can be sold back. Frankly speaking I am extremely jealous and in complete awe of people who say (and really do) that they talk on phone for hours coz my maximum time on phone ranges upto a maximum 4-5 mins. I hate talking on phone so I am not missing the mobile much but yes I sure miss messaging. Anyways, my friend’s dad was scheduled to go to China next week and I was planning to get a mobile from there but now I have dropped that idea and buying a new one around next week here itself.

Best of luck to all the CAT aspirants over the country for tomorrow’s big Sunday. I am also taking that test but I haven’t prepared anything so I am totally relaxed and planning to give it next year. On other thoughts, will I be able to repeat this feat? But no it was in company and this one is on national level. Fixed then, next year. Have a great weekend!
