What is this hullaboo about the April Fool’s day?? Do we really need a day to celebrate as fool’s day.Look around you and u will find innumerable fools.You might urself be one.I think we all have been displaying the characteristics of a fool at some point of life or another.No body is perfect.Or perfectly intelligent.Our ignorance over some matter that our counterparts know can make us sound as fools in front of them.And a fool will always be a fool till he starts finding out wat cn make him sound not as a fool(a tough task though).
For me everyday can be celebrated as an april fool’s day as I don’t miss on a single opportunity to befool my frnd’s around(rat,nidsi and shini know this d best) and since every dog has its day so I give my bless my poor frnd’s wid some really golden opportunities to befool me too.(see,I do that knowingly,My sixth sense is sharp enough to identify that they are befooling me,but still I don’t pretend that I know their tricks….just to make them live wid the happy illusion that they cud befool ME!!!...:))
For our family this April Fool’s Day has more significance than any other family.Not that my parent’s also like befooling people.I am more than enough to do so on everyone’s behalf..and neither do they get befooled on this day , as again I get befooled on everyone’s behalf all 365 days(see how generous I am but like I said…I do that just for my wonderful frnds’ sake…just to make them feel accomplished!!)so they don’t have any history of befoolrey. While I have all my accounts full.
It is my sister’s birthday.”DD” I fondly call her.My mother says wen she was born d doctor said to my father that a fool was born…fool=”phool”=flower, mind it. So she is the most beautiful flower of our family. A flower with great personality, a face full of dignity and poise(that I yearn for…blame my parents ,for their biasness).very talented. Laughs wid me for hours for no good reason.Gets me really good presents.caals me wenever I gv her a missed call.Has done my homework in d past.Helped me find my school diary,my notebooks (which were right there in my bag,but still I cudnt find them,and wud cry like hell) Did my home work ,which said “Write a 1000 times ‘I WILL NOT TALK IN THE CLASS’, I WILL DO MY HOMEWORK ON TIME’, I WILL NOT BREAK DISCIPLINE’ and many other similar stupid phrases” …and getting such a punishment-cum-homework wud have killed me to death if DD wasn’t there. So I wud cry,and she wud do my homework.(dat doesn’t make me sound spoilt….does it??).
And yeah, has a very good handwriting. which I don’t find gud at all,as its flawless,neat,clear and is almost as exact replica of that of my father’s ,and due to which I have had immense thrashings from my parents as wenever they opened my notebooks they cudnt grasp even a word of my writing …which I ,with due respect ,call modern handwriting.And like modern art is difficult to apprehend so is modern handwriting. So I guess they are not blessed with that vision to understand Modern (handwriting and art).to tell d truth ,even I am not blessed with that vision…as I myself cud not understand my own modern art. So that gave them another reason for violence.And I think,violence yields nothing but is a wastage of ur energy ,which shud rather be conserved, as my handwriting is still the same,no thrashing or scolding could take away the God’s gift of creating modern art from my soul.(Oh God forgive them, coz they call this my obstinacy and still have no respect for my modern art.. Even Galileo faced a lot of resistance from the lesser blessed ones before his talent cud finally be recognized.Same wid Einstein.).Nyways…Love u Mum nd Dad…for trying to make me like u wanted and wasting ur energies over me and still accepting me the way I am.
DD’s birthday had always been a difficult day before Orkut and Facebook came into picture where she cud declare to the world that Yes!! Her birthday is on 1st of April. As kids we used to often face trouble in making other kids trust us wid her bday thing. And to add to it,even after inviting them with proper invitation cards,they wud still not come wid the fear that we might be taking mickey out of them, or might have made a plan to conduct an en masse befoolery session!!! Is that possible for a common man to do!!But still at the time of party, we wud have to often go again and convince them that Yes it was her birthday…it was an ordeal.People are so scared of getting befooled…and in other ways have so minimal risk taking tendencies.And then they wud finally come..and we wud finally cut the cake…and I wud finally get to eat it..yummy!!!(all b’day pics of childhood whether it was my bday pic or my sister’s…have my eyes stuck on the cake…which I find quite amusing as even in one pic wen I must have been 6 months old,I have myself staring at the cake and drooling as if I understood wat it tasted like or was born to gobble it only…and if permitted.. wud have attacked on it like a hungry little monster).
So this day has always been a day of showing courage, honing your convincing capabilities, and a day of perseverance and patience for us all. And I hope after all these years of such April Fool’s Day…DD is getting to enjoy some really fun-filled birthdays and may get a hundred more birthdays to enjoy.Thanx to all her frnds and yeah,orkut and facebook too. HAPPY BIRTHDAY “DD”.

A Renewable Resource
(my humble apologies for anyone who got hurt because of wat i wrote...trust me i had no intentns of doing so..dis was supposed to be just plain humor but i kno i shud have been a bit more thoughtful.. a thousand apologies from the bottom of my heart..hope u like dis one :))
Its been just 2 months.And i feel Burdened and bored.Burdened not with work actually.Thanx to my ignorance and lack of education on the technology.. that i am being treated the way i am now.so what is actually the burden and boredom all about.
Well boredom is something that most homo-sapiens and yeah the more observant ones like me(common i am not blowing my trumpet today atleast) are prone to.we get used to our sorroundings and adapt so well in them that any new place seems more like a native place to us. (once a journey of 11 hours by bus took 27 hours due to traffic tht ultimately i was getting nostalgic when i finally reached my destination and felt as if i was born in the bus itself.well Charles darwin must have had me in mind when he wrote his theory of evolution.okay so coming back to the main topic befor i get diverted and forget wat i was actually talking about.....
i am bored of the perenially similar tasting coffee,same tea bags waali chai,same maggi soup,(nd now i have even shifted to drinking powdered milk..(okay..i know i am behaving voracious but i attribute this to my habit of being hungry all-time after spending 6 years in a hostel where people are perenially hunger-struck..:D)and that too in just a short span of two months.to tell u the truth...i dont like changes either..but seriously i wud prefer if my life ends in a more sumptuous and delicious way.
i currently belong to that breed of species who are better known as trainees.But i am sure soon my status will be updated and upgraded.So dis is just a passing phase.
what is this final semester training all about?a trainee belongs to that breed of graduates...
1) who is undergoing the burden of completion of her course so tht she cn attain her degree.
2) the completion of the course is only possible if she completes her final semester training more often named industrial training.
(you do get a look and a rather great feel of the industry that ur degree will get u into after u attain it).
this breed has many sub-categories further.
The first category states trainees are in respectable terms social workers.ahem ahem...conditions apply here...this definition is for those trainees who are well aware or atleast have a bit of knowledge of the technology they will be working on or rather doing social service on.like my frnd "NP" who unfortunately knew .net (like me).she has to work till 8 in the evening and that too for free(money cant buy everything but yeah this charity can get her a good certificate).can u just imagine.So for anybody of u out there thinking tht charity never paid off well!!! Brush away such thots.I guess trainees are the best and the cheapest resource any firm can get. kudos to NP.
The second category of this breed: the one who gets paid.You do the work.you get paid.more like a give and take situation.give every drop of your blood to the big vampire.
another category states gimme money and let me have fun.that is no work and still u get paid.that is the power of a really powerful contact and a real trainee.No work and more money can make jack feel like a king.
yet another category is that of a student-cum-trainee..pay the firm u r learning “the tenets of how industry works like” from.
and the final and the most interesting,dangerous and difficult to identify category (they are monsters in disguise..more like viruses who can eat up ur brain till it becomes empty (hahah) and still behave as if they r the most innocent ones on d face of the earth all ready steady to eat ur brain every day except wen u r lucky enough to have them on leave):
if u belong to this breed then u r likely to show the following charatersitics :
u neither know the technology you will be working on.U stay on the mercy of the people around who will sort of waste their precious time teaching u the technology ,answering ur dumb questions ,trying to enlighten u over the subjects and trying to make u feel better abt ur situation by saying ofetne “even we knew nothing like u wen we came here” probably thinking tht their saying so will make the matter better,everytime u face a problem u can always bug them wid ur probems and they are ready to lend a helping hand and u will find urslf lucky everytime to get ur problems solved wid d speed of light..but sometimes wen u face a problem..u will have a million thoughts attacking ur mind whether u shud disturb the busy bees or not.In d early days ur conscience will try to stop u from buzzing them again n again..but sooner u start avoiding the voice(actually the howling nd growling) of ur conscience and simply ignoring the noise it makes inside u wenever u r about to disturb them or in appropriate words try to remove the clouds of ignorance from ur brains. and thus u become so brazen to ping them wid ur problems on the ip messenger too...let them breathe man!!! they deserve their space too...(but they are the only straw to clutch in that huge world)
but despite all these bouts of embarrassments and jerks to self-esteem u become so shameless(yeah time makes u strong and practice evn more stronger) that u stop realizing that u might be pestering a poor employee who has a deadline to achieve and yet get constant motivation too by their polite demeanour (which is actually known as being modest in the bible of etiquettes and u take advantage of tht too) from ur preys.(i.e. the poor employees who are friendly enough to make u feel comfortable).
This category is weak at showing professionalism too.(common..get professional babe….even the toilette papers today call themselves professional..Kimberly Clark Professional).So that is kind of even more embarrassing.
well this category is the most dangerous too.as during team meeting this category has to respond about their work to the person higher in the hierarchy..who is actually kind enough to pay attention to u,take complte responsibility that this category does not waste time and learn something better and be a resource.And is really really keen on improving u and making u a more polished person than lettin u stay as indisciplined s u were in college.(yeah acept it u r indisciplined).
Any work-done is actually equivalent to almost a miniature sized work (that cud be very well completed in half d day for whch u take the whole day's time..and thus make ful utilisation of ur day indeed)that is even more embarrasing.so basically such a category is an absolute toddler in the industry which means that they are a liability.This category has a long way to go before they start acting professional,learn to control their ever-contagious laughters ,be serious(for which there is actually no need as somedody says its beter to stay as u r and enjoy work and life but trust me i think i need some discipline..hehehe..u dnt kno tht!!hehehe)and till the time they turn into a resource it will be time for good-byes and yeah thanx givings too.
but like every coin..dis one has two sides too.This phase of ur life will definitely teach u the tenets of how industry works,how a team works and will definitely teach u stuff tht wll be the frst step of the ladder u have to ultimately climb.Knowledge is a bonus too.And friends are an even more rewarding bonus.thanx to all who will make it possible and yeah thanx for tolerating such ignorance too.
