A Short Sad Story....

Message forwarded by ‘Sher’afraz.

Love means:
A guy & his girl friend were speeding at 100 kmph.
Girl: Slow down, its too scary.
Guy: No, its not. Its fun.
He asks her to hug him tight & tells her that the helmet is heavy on his head, so take it and wear it on.
The next day, it is seen in the news papers that a bike crashed into a building and out of the two, only the girl survived. The truth is that, the guy realized that the brakes had failed but he didn’t want her to know. He felt her love by getting her hug for the last time.

Flashback....

It's been atleast 2.5 years that I met my group (all members at once), i:e during the end of our graduation days. Our meetings after that never had all of us together.
Today their thoughts were haunting me as I was walking alone in the green fields near the outskirts of Bangalore city. I was supposed to visit the Global Village there (a group of 4-5 IT companies near Kengeri). The temperature and the weather were same when we used to go to picnics outside our home town. That place was just perfect for us always, to sit and chat.... eating home made food under the trees...pulling each others legs.... some serious discussions.....some fun facts...those Dil Chahta Hai, Kaante and RHTDM songs while driving...hmmmm . Kaante had been our fav movie that time.

Hey group..., I MISS U ALL A LOT...

11th December

__________11th Dec198_ is supposed to be a very important day in my history and to some of my troubled friends too...
__________It was about 10PM of 10th Dec 05.... eagerly waiting for the clock to strike 12 midnight and receive the calls from the dear ones. But the heavy dinner, drowsy eyes, tiresome day had already sung lullabies for me and made me sleep at 10.30. Had to keep the cell in the Sshhhhhh... mode, 'coz, receiving calls after 10.30 PM is not permitted in the hostel I stay... any ways i could see the missed calls in the morning. Did so and slept... as usual missing my cozy bed at home.
__________Much awaited morning came.... woke up.. hugged myself and said 'Happy B'day'. Took the cell to see for the missed calls and the messages. SURPRISES AND SURPRISES!!!!! NO MISSED CALLS, NO MESSAGES????? Naturally... got a bit upset (who does not). How could anyone forget this day? "Hota hai, hota hai...Let them take their own sweet time and call you Preeti...", Preeti said to herself. After sometime, my roomie got to know about my day. She wished me and SHE gave me some sweets and a slice of cake which she had... It was so nice of her. Later, we got to know why I wasn't getting any calls... NETWORK PROBLEM .... Should have happened only on that day or what??
__________Afternoon time, had been to another friend's room where she and her bro lived. An unforgettable moment, she took the piece of cake, placed it over a plate, gave a spoon... no no not to eat, but to cut the cake holding the spoon the other way.
She: sorry pre, knife is not to be found, and candles are not there.
Me: Its OK Sweeti.. how about torch in place of candles..
(giggles)

Cell got flodded byfriends calls, keeping some of them in waiting. later came to know that few of them had called Ash and asked 'What happened to Preeti's cell?". All she could reply was that she too had been trying to call since 12PM but couldn't get in contact.

__________After that my group called me to the palace grounds to see an event where Shaan, Alka Yagnik... performed the show. My 2 eyes and ears were not enough to see Shaan singing Tanha Dil and Bhool Ja.. my favorite songs. The crowd had gone crayz(well... it includes me too...) . That was the gift my friends gave...

The Biigggg Interview

Was on the way to a friend's place yesterday, and got to see this company again. Ok, let me tell about this.
This unwanted interview took place around a month back when it was only 5 days I had joined my present job into IT Marketing. When I was idle I had sent my resume to a MNC Co. belonging to the Finance Industry. My profile satisfied their requirement. (Statistics in Graduation & Finance in MBA…had Marketing too). I had both in my resume.

Let me make it clear to everyone. I hate finance field like anything.

Ok, let me put in Javed’s English as in ‘Salaam Namaste’.
I ........ the hates working in finance fields…..(sorry..)….eeggjhaktly…” (I have become a big fan of his unique English since then, need to take classes).

I had been seeing my dad in that field since childhood & even now…so developed an allergy towards it..allergens being the financial terms. My name was short listed for the written test. Though not interested, I gave the test, which was for one and half hour. Again my name was short-listed!!! Infact I was sure, it would be. I was given the date for the interview. I wished that shouldn’t have happened. Called up 'R', my friend, to say about this & said to him that I won't be going for it, because... not interested in that field.

“Have you gone crazy?? How can u afford to ignore such a big Company & that too an initial package of 2.5- 3 lakhs?? Listen to me, you go & give the interview.. that’s it…
For the respect I have for him, I decided to attend it. Took the leave for half day from my work, waited for an hour, then came my turn. There were 2 interviewers, one, a beautiful young lady and the other a gentleman. They welcomed me with sweet smiles. Finally had a SEAT, on which I never wished to be on. They first made me feel comfortable… as it happens in every interview. After the basic questions were over…..
Interviewer1: Ok Preeti… now shall we proceed with the technical questions of finance??
My heart sank…missed a beat… what all…I very well knew what questions they would be…really..
Interviewer2: What is Capital Budgeting?
I knew the answer to it, and so answered it Jhat Se…(felt amazed at myself for answering it).
I1: What is depreciation?
Wonders and Wonders!!!! Answered this too…
I2: There are 4 methods in depreciation, what are they?
Me: errrrr…. I don’t remember them…(yes, how could I, it was almost one and a half year that I read about it..)
I1: Ok Preeti… try to answer at least two ….
It seemed to me like, if I don’t answer her questions…the company would stop functioning..
Some more questions like liquidity ratio..that ratio..this ratio…forwards, futures, options were fired at me. I answered some and skipped some. That chap even asked me about costing and taxation, which was out of my reach, ‘coz never had that subjects.
After some ‘err…’s & ‘sorry ma’am’, THEY ACCEPTED THE DEFEAT…
I1: Ok Preeti, are you comfortable with marketing?
Me: (happily…) yes ma’am…very much…
They asked 4-6 questions and I answered all of them.
From the time I had sat on that chair, I was looking as to when I will leave it.
“Ok Preeti”, she said, “ if your name is short listed again, you need to come once again…..for the HR interview.
I very well knew that I wouldn’t get selected, because the company doesn’t want to get into losses..
Thanking them, I was out of the “DEN” in a few minutes, didn’t wished to look back, but did so, ‘coz the building was magnificent.

All About Boys and Gals

I found this forwarded message very interesting, and I am sure its very TRUE

All about a Girl:

When she is quiet, millions of things are running in her mind.
When she is not arguing, she is thinking deeply.
When she stares at you, she is wondering why you are lying.
When she calls you everyday, she is seeking your attention.
When she sms you everyday, she wants you to reply atleast once.
When she says "I Love You", she means it.
When she says "I Miss You", no one in this world can miss you more than her.


All about a Boy :
When he is quiet, he is bored.
When he is not arguing, he is fast asleep.
When he stares at u, he is wondering what the hell u r talking about.
when he sms's u everyday, he knows he is not getting charged.
when he says "I Miss You", there must be nothing good no tv.
when he says "I Love You", he has no idea what he is talking about. ( so much true....)

My First Salary

It’s not even a month now, since I joined my first JOB. Couldn’t go to my parents during Dashera . So thought of going for Deepavali, which falls on 30th (exactly a month after the date of joining), after taking my first salary.
But the problem is that the payment will be made only in the first week. Mean to say, I had to go empty handed. My plan is to give the whole of my first salary to my parents. Me and ‘A’ had a plan and I decided to follow it. She was willing to give me the amount equal to my salary, so that I give it to my parents saying it is mine. That was a good idea, because, I am not sure when again I will be going to my native. Its 15 hours journey from B’lore. Yes this is what I am going to do. The money what I will be giving doesn’t make any difference to my parents(nor do they need it), but its every parent’s expectation that matters.

Meeting with MCC Group, PREVIOUSLY "THE INNOCENT ONES"

It’s almost a year now, that our MCC School (Mount Carmel Convent School) Group in YahooGroups was created.
Owner of the group being Mr. Pradeep, the All rounder, currently running a good business in Hyderabad. Members being the school classmates of both the sections.
Last year, we had managed to get in contact with few of them. Pradeep had tried a lot to arrange a meeting so that all of us could meet on Deepavali, may be in our school.. But in vain….. all of us had our own work and probs. But this time he is again putting too much of efforts so that we all meet, along with the newly joined members.
Hope this time it will be a success. I am definitely going to my place- my cute township, and meet all of them for the first time after a period of 8 years!!! For me its not at all difficult to recognize my sweet, innocent looking classmates, ‘coz I had been seeing our group photo atleast once in a month. I really had been missing them from years.
Looking forward to have a great time with them.
