There has been many instances we use to hear, when we were in college, from our seniors that college is good, there is lots of politics and partiallity at work. Then we used to think that why the hell they are saying that i have seen at almost all TV channels that indian corporates this and that.
Well i got that experience myslef last friday. This is Appraisal time in our company and as expected ppl are giving tough time to the mangers, however what came to me as a result of my appraisal is totall shock. I have been rated among the top performers, inspite of this i am denied promotion, instead another guy (at the same level as i am ) got the promo. On being asked at what counts i fell short to get the promo, i was given answers like
1. It was a random decision (bill shit)
2. he had done some extra curricular activities (is this college/ school and are there grades for that if there are why i was not told)
3. i have no answer (now ur getting to the point)

Well thats it i knew the answer buggers are being partial. That was not all he tried all the tricks including threatening to keep my mouth shut....well on Monday (yesterday) i met SPM (his baap) and as expected he is his Baap all managerial funde and crap but i did not budge and he gave me "suggestions", "advices" and in the end reluctantly admitted his mistake (though not openly but in carefully crafted words).
This mrng i got a mail that i have another meeting regarding my performance evaluation..Boss that is closed why u want to get screwed by me again ... he he will update it later.

Update Finally i had another meeting with my PM and he reminded me of u have worked on this this this (saale pehle yaad nahin aaya kya?) Then he said i have confidence in u and stuff. ... (ha ha i am listening) then he said I AM SORRY (u shud be u !@#$%)

i don't wanna go back

It happens everytime when i come home and have to leave for work after a "short" vaccation. Well this time its no different...all i wanna say is Mamma, I don't wanna go. I know i have cribbed a lot abt Delhi's pathetically hot weather, and today was no different and i am exhausted after the days' out meeting frens and shopping, however it is this part of my vaccation that i hate the most, when i have to pack again and head back. I will miss Aloo Paratha, Palak (I am not mentioning Rajma Chawal :) ). But what the hell i will be back again in 5 months time.
All i can think now is i will be back in 5 months time .. and have Parathas :)

whts Cookin?

There are 2 things which i never dreamt i will be ever able to do in my life. The first one is Dancing and the other one is cooking. All my frens have learned to cook in college (Hostel) however i preferred to sleep empty stomach rather than trying my hand at cooking (yea yea i knew to make Maggi but thts not what i count in cooking). Last month while i was in Delhi, i danced ( yea danced like hell ) after all it was my cousins' marriage. After coming back to Blore i thought .. What the heck? i did the Dance, i cook too!... with that feeling i had hit the kitchen floor a fortnight ago and thought of making "Poha". I got all the ingredients and veges cut i heated some oil and started putting the ingredients as instructed by my Mom over phone earlier in the mrng. All Well .. till now, then disaster struck...i had to add a tinge of Dhaniya Powder...so i looked over the shelf and to my amazement there were three little jars filled with identical greenish-brown powder....i opened all three of them and poked my nose over each one of them to make out which is Dhaniya Powder, in doing so i got more confused and went by my instincts (meanwhile the other ingredients were on gas and were burning.. lol) chose one and added to the pan. Satisfied that nthing is spoiled and the Poha is done ...i took it off the flame and transferred to a plate....First bite and i realized that i have added Jeera Powder instead of Dhaniya Powder.. haha .. and yes i had Jeera Poha on that "eventful" Sunday. However last week i had made Chicken Curry ...well not all by myself i called my fren over and man it was awesome to taste :)
