They said, "if a man calls you everyday, he loves you"....
Does that also mean, that if he isn't calling me, he doesn't me love me anymore?

Jelly Belly!
The title of the post is my current state. My belly has been moving like a jelly pudding for quite some time now, and it seems to have a mind of its own. It decides to shake at its own will and pace, more so when I am in the middle of something important. I guess this is coz the little one inside the belly has developed a mind of its own now!
And it’s a weird feeling – while it is annoying to have your stomach move up and down without your control (and it hurts as well at time), it is also cute to stare at it doing its own thing!
This is the 1st time I am writing about the baby. I wonder why I haven’t written about him/her for so long – I have had him (her) for 7 months now!!! Thinking about it (though a little too late), I am at the tail end of my pregnancy and I haven’t had any time to enjoy it or think about it or day dream about how my baby would be, or what I would do when it arrives.
All I have been doing all this while is work, work and some more work and somewhere I have lost what people claim to be “the best time of your life”
And its no one’s fault but mine. Probably, I take my work too seriously… so seriously that others take it for granted. But then its not just work, I take life too seriously I guess.. Never a good thing.
Why am I thinking about it now? Coz, I have been enlightened over the weekend.
It was the valentine weekend and we had a deliverable to meet (extended deadline, after having missed 2 already). And while I was busy fretting and frowning and trying to calm an irate client, I realized that my team was busy celebrating the V-day with no access to emails!!! WOW!!!!
Whatever happened to the good old days when bosses would delegate the work and carry on with their lives, while the team would feel it’s their responsibility to deliver???
The problem is that I am not the "delegate-and-forget", but my boss is!!!! Quite a situation isn’t it?
In spite of my reputation as a task master, I still haven’t asked anyone in my team to put down their papers.. my bad.. I have tried to always give the non-performers enough time to improve and show results… But it's time for heads to roll, I guess!!! I need to put my foot down at some time – and this is the time!
If I have to slog my arse out, might as well save costs!
