makes life very boring...!! I didnt realize that a month had slipped by, with unfinished drafts piling on...none of it even close to completion and hence unworthy of being called a post!
I tried my hand at topics that, apparently, seemed to interest me...But, continuity and cogency betrayed me and I ended up having unfinished postings on a good number of these 'interesting' topics..!
I dont want to sound boring but the fact was that I HAD work!! Now that is a joke to all my roomies who have, by now, come to the conclusion that being vetti means being me! It was clearly evident that night,when I reached home, too tired to even utter a word..'What's wrong?!' they all screamed in unison...'Work..! pretty tough it was..! my mentor's given me a deadline to meet..' I sounded helpless...'that happens when you work once in a while..you know..' It wasnt imagination..I surely saw a wicked smile lighting their faces..!
Later next morning, I explained to them, HOW I work..little by little everyday, with enough time to do all the things that an intern HAS to do..! The problem comes when you dont do the other things and just your project!!! (Nothing can be more depressing! )
They werent ready to buy my story...'What I do in a day is equal to what you do in a month..' said J..'I have to attend meetings, have to reply to emails, be always at my desk just in case a customer calls and I have to fix bugs in someone else's code..' Well..what J has probably (intentionally) forgotten to mention, is that, J has lots of 'Days' at office..They call it 'Colour Day', this day and that day...and for everything she has to shop..as she comes home late and as her team-mates also have to shop, they all go for shopping during office hours...so, when they are going out..why not have lunch outside?! So, J n J's team will then decide on where to go, when to go and all that...! They're normally given only a 'short notice' for these 'days'..(so what it's one of these 'days' all the time..?!!)
That was 100% utilization of one day to prepare for the next 'day'! On the 'day', obviously, the whole office (am sure it's only J and her team although she never says so..) is in enthu mood...(c'mon,it's 'the day'!) and so work takes a back seat..!
If it's not one of the 'days'...J is either taking out her boss from the US (and his wife) to Commercial Street, or going to that wonderful movie being screened at PVR (Gold Class) or accompanying one(at times all) of us to do our 'petty-shopping'!
I wonder why J's visting card says..'Technical Engineer'....
This post is fully/partly/not at all fiction...not intended to directly/indirectly hurt anybody's (J's in particular) feelings...!!!

Well! It is quite clear that J is a very smart young lady.. I mean, how many of us can actually use the resources at office to go shopping and celebrating and partying... But PVR Gold Class is an amazing streak of resourcefulness... I am sure u envy her. (After all- J also stands for Jealousy ;))
No no no..! it's not envy..admiration u could say! ;-)
