Communication - Although all of us have been communicating with others since our infancy, the process of transmitting information from an individual (or group) to another is a very complex process. So here is a blog for everyone...just ramble on!

Why is it that I end up with weirdoes as friends?



F gets up in the morning, hurries through her shower and heads for work. Half way through she realises that she has forgotten to eat her breakfast and has also forgotten to comb her hair. So standing at the door of a Virar local, she requests a girl standing next to her to catch her bag while she combs her hair, only to realize after a few brush strokes that her hair is blowing away with the wind and are getting entangled!



The second one, let's call her 'A'. She is best known as 'The-always-late' employee. No matter how hard she tries, she just can't get to work (or anywhere else) on time. She gets into work only to find out that her Project Leader (PL) has asked her to shift on a desk right opposit him, everytime she gets up he can see the PL head on. Thankfully, for her, if the PL stands up, he only gets to see 'A's face and not the so-many IE windows. And morever her office filters have blocked all websites except for Yahoo! and Rediff, in the name of religion or society and lifestyles!!!



She goes to the neighbouring floor to speak to her friends about her exacerbated situation. Just as she is about to leave, she sees his PL coming from the opposite direction. She pretends to discuss the project specs and waits for the PL to get into the elevator. And as soon as she sees her PL going, she exclaims out loud "Gaya Idiot, he is a real pain-in-the ass", only to find her Project Manager standing behind her!



This is as unfair as life gets!



Later in the afternoon she is introduced to a new colleague 'S' who happened to be her classmate in the 10th standard. Her travail increased twice as much when she was told that 'S' was not allocated any project and which would happen only in three weeks, and till that time 'S' would sit next to her all the time. Now with 'S' around her frequency of opening Internet Explorer has gone drastically down. She is forced to work while 'S' just stares at the screen.



So at the end of the day she prays to Lord to give her patience and a constipation pill, so that she can mix it with 'S's lunch.



Today morning, she is again late for work. She sleeps in the train and travles all the way to Churchgate instead of getting down at Bandra. Reason - All work and no time pass makes 'A' tired and a dull gurl!



'F' and 'A', my life is so colourful and facetious with the two of you!

  1. We're all weirdoes. Never trust the people who want to be normal.

  2. I always arrive late at the office, but I make up for it by leaving early.
