My babblings expressed. Read at your own risk.
I was on my way from Mumbai to Bangalore on 2nd of June after an official training there. My ticket was booked in Kingfisher Airlines for this.
Generally people get excited when they hear about Kingfisher Airlines, the reason being you see a lot of beautiful young women dressed in short red dresses who of course are the flight attendants with that particular airlines. The hype about this was so much that I too was personally very much interested in boarding the flight.
I was right in time in reaching the airport and so was in a little hurry. I wanted to take the boarding pass quickly and proceed for check-in and so was hurrying though the process of baggage scanning. Then one employee of the airlines came near me and proceeded giving me the boarding pass. (The carry around boarding pass vending machines have made the queues shorter and the process faster, now a days).
I wasn't expecting any surprises with him as they can only ask queries about your first or last names and may be about the baggage which we are carrying. But this guy's question to me was "Sir, do you really think India is actually incredible?"
I was shocked, literally. It took a moment for me to understand why he posed that question. Well, it’s all because of my T-shirt; it had the wordings "Incredible India" written in big bold letters in that.
So it was a comment on my T-shirt. Ok, I take that. I smiled him back. That was a good remark and a nice exclamation. I liked the way he made his statement that he is actually taking good care of me noticing everything about be. But hey wait, he is not done yet. He asked me the same thing again.
Ok, so it was not a remark, it was a question itself. Now, I need to give an answer. What should I say? A Yes or a No? Either way, he would surely ask my justification for my answer since he will definitely want to prolong the conversation. And that’s exactly what I want to avoid at that eleventh hour.
I replied, "In a few ways, yes". He seemed to be a little surprised at my answer. His face clearly conveyed his disappointment for not being able to pose the readymade question which he already had for me. And in that quick few seconds when he was thinking about his possible next question, I asked him to excuse me and escaped an unneeded conversation.
I would not blame him; it was part of his job to do that talking. He must have been having specific instructions from the airline's authorities for interacting with the customers closely. And that’s what this particular Airline is famous for as well. But this guy just went short of questions at that time and to add to his trouble, caught a guy who is not interested to talk too. Poor him. But a good try from him to impress the customer. Good luck next time, buddy. Cheers!
I got a beautiful gift from a friend of mine today. For a while she has been talking about giving me a gift and even asked me my house address. I was expecting something via courier but she really surprised me with this one.
She has been long known to me being my highschool batch mate. But then we lost touch. Cought her up recently in Orkut and then we started talking and chatting. It didn't take long before we could get in real close. And within a month of acquaintance, she said I'll miss you when she heard I'm leaving for US. That was indeed a compliment and yes, I'll miss her too.
This is one of the best gifts I ever got. Not because the poem is good or because it is written on me; but because the words came from the heart. Obviously I'm flattered. Sometimes it feels too good to be me. ![]()
Time caught on the ancient wheel of change
Spins round and round nothing is strange
Sun that set may rise again,
Clouds cluttered above may wither away and rain.
Treasured memmories always a gain ;
To every mind engulfed in pain
Time will not be ours for ever
Come dear,be friends for ever
Destiny may take thy part
Bonds once made never break apart
Orkutting my time in the net
To meet friends who were once very best
My eyes caught a man in beard
Who looked different from the herd.
I geared up my search engines
To identify the man in jeans;
Calm and cool by all means.
Put my grey cells on test
To know the man very best
Who looked cool from the rest
A classy guy with real zest
Now the moment came
I jogeed down the momory lane
But my attempt in vain.
Failing myself in this venture
Found alas ! he works in Acccenture.
Bingo!here i go.....
Knew a guy in Accenture ,
Who had a spirit of adventure
Is he...Is he...
Gee....Now i know this figure
Who was clever for sure
A computer geek!
Who grew slim by week.
Gilmpses of him blinked in memory,
That was sinking in a hurry
But I was in Joyful merry
Because i identified this jerry.
He was no longer a myth
He is "Sree (The Great )jith"
He was one of those few
For whom everything went effortlesly right.
Quick juggler with numbers
Often made his friends dumber.
Genius Einstenian in everyway,
Whose talents won him higher pay.
Nothing more to write my friend
Here is wishing you success till end.
May god bless you in excess
Rewards,fame and success.
