Why are mondays so depressing?
Come mondays and I start feeling the blues. Feel like quitting work and going back to the 'stay-at-home' days.
Is it the same for everyone?
Fridays are so much fun when there is not a great deal of work. You happily embrace the coming weekend with loads and loads of plans. Weekends come and go - without you realizing that it is gone to come back again after a long 5 days.
I have already started waiting for the coming weekend which is going to be a long one (monday being a holiday for us!).
Hope this week goes by without too much fuss at work.
Happy Working

Tring Tring
Have we ever thought how important phones have become in our lives? It is one simple call that can make or break a relationship, do some good or bad to you, declare failure or success, blurt out some very good and some very bad news and many more.
The phone has become such an inseperable part of our life. A day without the cell phone seems so very IMPOSSIBLE!
Some unforgettable calls that I received over the years (in no particular order) -
The phone has become such an inseperable part of our life. A day without the cell phone seems so very IMPOSSIBLE!
Some unforgettable calls that I received over the years (in no particular order) -
- My marriage date was fixed over a phone! Well, it was atleast consented by both of us (my better half (B) and myself) over the phone!
- My sister's Intermediate results were out on her cell phone.
- Long chats and talks over the phone when B and I were away which really got us together, after a 3-day stint ( he came, he saw, he married)!
- Inteview call from the HR of the company for which I am currently working.
- B calling me up to set up a plan for the evening - dinner, followed by a movie (the second part after the dinner - totally unexpected)!
- Call from my boss asking me to come to office over the weekend!
- Call from my boss telling me that one of our team members is in the ICU.
- Call from B letting me know that he might have to go to the US for a short stint.
- Recipe exchange over the phone between my mom and me; between my MIL and me.
- Calls which are not intended for you - wrong numbers (really irritating)!
- Home Loan calls - pestering you to take one!
- Credit Card calls - Offering to give you one!
- Invitation for a party/marriage/get-together!
- Call from my dad saying one of cousins is no more.
- Call from my mom saying one of dad's sisters is no more.
- Call from my aunt saying the marriage of her son has been fixed after an eternal wait!
Well I cant think of any more for now.
Getting a call now!

Prince and Princess
Long long time ago, there was a boy (a prince) and girl (a princess) ruling a city somewhere in the south east part of India. They went to the same school, same college, had some common relatives but had never met! Destiny brought them together one fine day.
What followed was a series of eventful events (not sure whether this is a right usage, but anyways sounds exactly what I wanted it to). The girl was shown the photo of the boy and the boy was shown the photo of the girl. Thanks to the not-so-photogenic faces, they instantly disliked each other. But because of parental interference (and thank God for that!), decided to meet and sort it out.
The girl was in her college almost done with her studies, decided to take a plunge into the big world of management. CAT - the mother of all MBA exams was in her hit list. The boy had finished his Bachelors in the city which he ruled, pursued higher studies, landed in a well paid job and was now ready for matrimony!
Thursday
The D day when the boy and the girl were supposed had come. The girl called up some of her close friends and asked them to disturb her around the time when the boy is around. Came the boy with his mother. The girl and her sister took some quick peeps through one of the windows. The sister labeled his as a school boy. After the intial introduction, there was no stopping them! They liked each other instantly and talked non stop. Her parents and his mom had to intervene to stop their never ending conversation!
After the boy left, the girl was asked her opinion - No Answer.
Boy was asked his opinion - No Answer.
Friday
An early morning call broke the peaceful atmosphere at home. The boy had given his anwser in an affirmative. The girl made her parents day with a single nod. Girl's mom and dad went to the boy's home to settle a marriage date. Started pouring heavily outside. Came another call, now this time breaking the sounds of the rain falling on the roof. The boy was at the other end asking the girl if it was OK with her to marry him before he leaves to the US (which was in a week!). The girl gave away to the orator skills of the boy. Her parents came back home to burst the news to the girl that the D day was going to be MONDAY.
One phone on each hand, everybody at her home started making calls, calling relatives, friends to be part of the occassion. After quite a few yells and cries, everybody digested the fact that the girl was really getting married in a couple of days.
SATURDAY
Shopping day. Loads of shopping . Loads of calls. Loads of fun. Loads of work.
SUNDAY
All the guests started pouring in one by one. Poor souls couldnt manage to get reservation in the train, so came standing, some settling with already filled up berths, some tired. But everybody who mattered to the girl came in. Life couldnt have been much faster. Days were just rolling. In another day the girl would leave her parents home forever for the boy whom she had met just a few days back.
MONDAY
The boy and the girl tied the holy knot to be with each other for the rest of their lives.
Sad parents of the girl couldnt imagine that their little princess really got married. And for the girl, it was a lot of fun going through the whole process.
Here comes the big blow. The boy is leaving on a WEDNESDAY, back to the US.
TUESDAY
The girl and boy spent some time together amidst a bunch of relatives with prying eyes on this day. They got to know each other a little bit more than before.
WEDNESDAY
Boy, girl, now prince and princess and his mother (their mother now) flew to the place from where he was to take off. Bid farewell.
Girl got her visa in a few days. Joined him in the US within a month. And they lived happily ever after.
Couldnt have been a better fairy tale than this one.
