miss you dear..

October 2006 month is going to be special in one way. It will be officially the last month in Infosys and hence my last salary from Infosys. I still cant believe that such a day has come. I still remember the day I got placed in infy and made the plan of what I would do with my First Salary. Well a part of it did come true. I used to have a sony ericson T 100 phone. A phone that was almost scratched at every possible place. My first and the big plan was to get the phone changed. It took me nearly a year to do that and the new phone I got a new phone as a gift from my bro. Else I guess I would have stuck to that old and dear phone of mine.

 

This new one that I have is a motorazor V3. Looks amazing with a 64k display flap type and VGA camera with 4x optical zoom. But do I like it. No I don’t think so. Every time this phone rings I am scared to look at the phone thinking it to be my PL or PM asking about the “status update of the customizable Functional Gap in Finacle to be delivered by EOD”. Every time I get a sms its from HUTCH asking me to set a telugu song as my caller tune. In simple words I am least bothered about my phone and as far as possible I try to stay away from it. On top of all this I end up paying 1500 every month for a service I neither like nor use.  I don’t even remember my number and I ve stored it as “Mine” in my own sim. No .. this is not the phone I wanted to buy with my first salary.

 

That T100 was a part of me at those times. I used to have it even in the toilets and under my pillow. Even when someone asks me my number today I end up saying 9894141326. An Airtel pre paid sim card loaded with unlimited free international sms. I made a lot of friends .. full night kadalai sessions .. in simple words .. I expressed myself. If anything could be called my personal diary then it was my phone. The forward messages.. The missed call pranks.. Those anonymous chats… The 10 rupee recharge cards.. ( the monthly recharge of 330 was something my uncle did for me…). More than that I call it a lucky phone. Have ended up getting so many appreciation messages in that phone. So many sweet sms from so many sweet people.

 

Now plans with the last salary. I will buy that sim again back home and use this V3 like my T100 for sometime...  coz I MISS YOU DEAR…

The papers..

The papers – A modern day non technical software terminology which means you have just resigned the job. Everyone believes in my company or in most of the companies that there will be a day when he will put his papers. Well in my case it was a little bit different. I have put 4 papers already. The first was for my friend who wanted to escape this place to get into another under the pretext of doing higher studies. The second did the same but told the truth that he was joining another company. I don’t understand why people speak the truth to their PM. For him I would say the girl who marries him is lucky coz if he is capable of telling the truth to his manager then no wonder he can tell the same to her. The third was for another guy who has no idea what he is up to next but leaves coz of frustration. The fourth of course was for me.

 

Putting the papers is so much easier than writing a love letter. You are sure to get a YES as the answer and manager cant ask you to stay back. That’s one reason why I love putting the papers.

 

I have always wanted to build on my writing skills. This was one of my passions rite from my college days. So I ended up writing love letters for all my friends in college. I have always heard people say that writing a love letter is one of the toughest things to do while penning down your thoughts. Thus I ended up taking the domain of “love” as my field of interest. I even remember writing love letters for a bottle of beer in the house of lords ( the most expensive bar in Coimbatore) or a grill chicken with egg noodles. Those were the heights of luxury for me at that time. Well In a short span of time I became such an expert that I could write a letter at a single go. No scratches.. no paper tearing business. Please don’t ask me what happened to all those love issues. Everyone who used my letters had a miserable experience falling and failing in love and till date no one has blamed the letters I had written for what had happened to them. Some people even got me a beer after all ended up badly to celebrate in the Devdas style.

 

And now all my skills are bein used to put papers.. make huge worthless documents.. send senseless emails.. Well theres one thing I still want to do.. write a letter to the one I love.. wanna know how it feels when u do it for yourself. I am sure that day will come.. till then keep reading my blog..
