Me and My Resolutions

I Wish you all a very happy new year 2008. I know iam the last person on this planet to wish. Its so late that it can't even be categorized into "belated wishes" category. Saying that I was busy would be the biggest lie of the year. Woh bolthe hain na, ' likhne ka keeda ' mujhe kabhi kabhi hi kaatha hai. Without any further delay, apni aukaad pe aatha hoon.

When u wear formal dress with shirt tucked-in and a card hanging on the neck (id card), u tend to think like a professional. As a part of professionalism, u get ur career graph printed right on u r head. N use the GPS system to see if its in the right track. Hmm, I wouldn't say i have reached that state, but surely some things have rubbed onto me.

I feel like having a look at the promises i made to myself in the form of resolutions during last year and their progress.

1) " work hard, enjoy harder ". :

This is the most trickier of all. If u work hard, wherez the time for fun. I dnt knw about the first part but i have followed the second part in its true sense. We are a group of 4 morons. we manage to have a blast even at a funeral. Its been 5 months since we know each other and i think we have missed just 2 weekends. Its like we are waiting for the weekend. All in all iam having fun. Coming to the work part, during the most part of the year i was jus passing time. I desperately wanted to join a project. I guess some god heard it and he landed me into this hell. I guess i have mentioned about this project in my previous post. Its no fun trying to remember hell. My average working hours for 3 months was 14 hrs. So to talk in business terms, " my last quarter efforts meets expectations " :p . It gave me the opportunity to make new frnds, the cab drivers, the cabs in-charge, and like. The cabs in-charge is very upset when i leave the office by any chance even at 8.30 pm. So as to not to hurt his feelings and my PM's too, i dive my head into the monitor and wait for the security ppl to drag me out at night. For a change, iam loving my work. So i wud say the year went well and i score nos marginally better than dhoni's average in australia tour.

2) To eat chapattis :

Now-a-days I eat chapattis as if i was born in Punjab or any north-indian state. If u think this must be the silliest resolutions of all time, i wud say " abhi post baaki hai mere bhai ". If u still think dat its too silly, imagine the pain of a sardar ji who is made to eat idly or dosa with saamber. Kasam sardar ji pe joke marne wale ki, iske tho pure number milne chahiye mujhe.

3) To eat curd :

This gives the above resolution a run for its money. Sorry to say, but i still hate curd. Have tried it many times but failed miserably in adding it to my daily diet. Like dhoni failing in australian tour.


Hmmm so i leave it to the beloved reader to decide whether i have succeded or not. I know iam talking as if there is some reality show going on and iam part of it.


Here i come ( rather shamelessly) with another set of resolutions ( most probably to break it) for this year 2008.

1) To change the company ( jump jilani is my idol ).

2) Stop having blasts at funerals .

3) To be more technical than lalu.

4) To complete SCJP certification.

I think we should set realistic goals. Rather than being too ambitious and feeling low on confidence when failing to achieve them. 3 and 4 falls under the ambitious category. Lets hope for the best. If my mom gets to hear the forbidden words like "career graph", "professionalism", "goals" frm me, she would surely call up the psychiatrist for an appointment.

Till i get bitten by ' likhne ka keeda ', u can help my mom in suggesting a nice psychiatrist.

Signing off .....
