Durga Puja and Dusehra

This is the first time in my life that I did 2 things on Dussehra: First I visited Durga Puja Pandals in Bengal Land in Delhi i.e. CR Park and I witnessed an effigy of Ravan burning!!! I had 2 days chutti in my office so I was there in my old office chatting up with others. The most funny part is that the three of us (my 2 roomies et moi) will sit besides each other in office also and have our own conversation side main, obviously the others dont seem to get what the hell is going on...nyways! Yesterday all three of us got dressed in beautiful sarees and jewellry. I with another friend went off to see some of the pujo pandals in CR park, had some bengali food and came back to office. Then in the evening we got some people from office home as in the park opposite our house the ravana and co were to be burned. We have seen the artisits working on these effigys right from scratch and it was a pleasant site to see the entire structure ready and standing. ALthough some of the fireworks were quite nice, the effigy had only niosy stuff and that was a crazy experience. Our house btw had became an open air theatre there were people on our terrace, our landlords entire family, some of their freinds whom they permitted to view the site from balcony seats!

After the entire show got over, we had our own masti what with 3 bottles of wine vanishing and jaishree going a bit crazy, it was all quite fun!! Heehee this was a dusssehra i definitely won't phorget!!

Self declared kings!!

The admin guys in my office think they are above us all lesser mortals. In any case their lunch is an elaborate affair, where even most of the senior managment will either eat at their desk or in the common canteen, these guys will have their food served by the pantry guys who will heat it, serve it and after these 'men' have eaten clean up after them. Why does all this happen you may ask, oh but for one simple reason they decide which contractor stays and which contractor goes, thats why!! And obviously they are such scums of this earth that they take complete advantage of this so called power that they have, ufffff!! Today was the limit, they are having their nawabi khana in the cafeteria and they order a sandwich from the vendor who promptly gives it to them as he serves any other of us lesser employees... the leader of this pack of wolves asks him the cost of this sandwich, 20 rupees he is informed, this man tells him that he will get only 5 rupees for this, obviously the vendor guy is a little taken aback and demands to know why?? Then mr leader of rotting fungi asks him to come on his side , opens the sandwich and demands to know why has he not put more white sauce (read mayonisse!) adn then he tells him " main tujhe batata hoon 20 rupiyee kaise miltey hain , takes out a 10 rupee note from his pocket, tears it and then says le isse lele!!!! And amazingly this guy is an ex army officer, like what to they do there now?? instead of making you a gentleman they make you an animal!!
More than anything else, i want to meet this man's wife and ask her ...why why woman why haven't you poisoned him yet??

New Interest!!

Hee hee heee..... ok so most people would know that I go to my old office on Saturdays, am still doing some stuff there and in any case it is a 2 minute walk from where i live, I have an off on saturdays and both my flat mates work there, so that is reason enough anyways. Arrey but now there is another reason...heeheehee. There is this really cute intern in my previous office, ok so first let me tell you, our office attracts law students and professionals from all across the globe because of the different work that takes place here in relation to human rights so there is always a variety of people in our office.
Anyways coming back to the case in hand...... (I wish!!). The best part is that all three of us have decided to compete so that just makes this even more fun. Anyways, dont think i stand much chance since i will get to see him once a week...hai.....
