"NO WATER"

There will be a few who will instantly relate to the title of this post; others will need to go through the trouble of reading this entire post.

There is this thing, very unique to my current office (actually there are many, but this one tops the list). The AC will never work in some parts of the building, suffocating you to death. At times, it can get so uncomfortable that I feel like I am sitting inside the boss’s cabin and its appraisal time. And mind you, the AC works just fine, at places (read ‘cabins’) where it matters!!
The heat forces you to gulp gallons of water (is that a polite way of letting me know that my skin doesn’t look radiant anymore and I need to start the ‘water therapy’????!!!!)

AND after you have stored enough water in your belly, to embarrass a camel; you will encounter the “no water” sign-board outside the loo!

I sometimes feel that the McDanolds outside the office bribes our house-keeping to ensure that there are regular visitors to their outlet. (More often than not, you will end up buying something out of courtesy, if you visit them for reasons stated above!!).

I often wonder if this is a trait unique to my office building, or does it have anything to do with the global problem of depleting natural resources!

Need I say anything about my current mood / state???

I am pink!!

I came across Rayshma's post My dil goes bluu..
Needless to say, I follow her blog very very closely. The post tempted me to take a test myself! And I must admit that I cannot deny the below findings.


Your Heart Is Pink

In relationships, you like to play innocent - even though you aren't.
Each time you fall in love, it's like falling for the first time.

Your flirting style: Coy

Your lucky first date: Picnic in the park

Your dream lover: Is both caring and dominant

What you bring to relationships: Romance



I would especially agree to the last statement - what I bring to the relationship - ROMANCE. I just hope that the right people are reading this post!!!

Thats MY money!!!!



This is a picture of the pavement outside mahalaxmi station.

This pavement is built by the Mumbai goverment using MY tax money, for MY convenience so that I walk on it and can avoid the risk of being run-over by speeding traffic.

I take this road every day to and from office, and it KILLS me EVERYTIME to see my hard earned money being put to this use. The slums are coming up on this pavement growing like wild fire adding new inhabitants with each hour, while I still have to walk on the road and dodge the vehicles who speed up the moment they see someone walking down the road - as if to emphasize that roads are meant for vehicles and pavements are for pedestrians!!!!
