Why Are You Still Single?

I took a "Why Are You Still Single?" test at Tickle the other day, and this is my result :

You're single because you don't want to get hurt

Ever heard the expression, "Once bitten, twice shy?" You can probably relate to this, can't you? Your last relationship may have left you a little raw in emotions, and the memories are likely still fresh in your mind. Fresher than you can sometimes believe. With a hurt like that, you're probably not so eager to enter the drama again — and we can't say that we blame you. You may be so afraid of getting hurt that you take things to heart big-time when you're involved with someone — after all, you've been hurt before, why can't it happen again? You also may be guilty of comparing potential mates to your ex who may still constantly loom large in your mind.

But maybe, just maybe, it's time to check your baggage at the door and let a new person into your life with a clean slate. You have a lot to offer someone, but you can't do it when you have one foot firmly planted in the past.

I know it may sound stupid to you but sadly, I gotta agree with my result. Sometimes I feel that I have this so called "Philophobia".

Do you ever feel that when you like a certain someone but then fear and think "If I fall for him, someone will come and take him away from me again" and so I always end up having short relationship...'cos it hurts so bad. You might call me coward, stupid...and you will be right 'cos I am a coward and I dare not go through that phase again.

Topsy Turvy Land

The other night(WC final night, to be exact), I and a friend went out for a ride - just a ride. When we approached the main road, we were stopped by a police duty..asking questions like- license hai? Document hai? and to which the answers were 'yes'. Then he called my friend and later he gave 100 bucks to the police and then he let us go. I was quite pissed off by this incident..the police taking money for no particular reason..hmph...the great Delhi Police.

This very incident led me to think the poem we used to learn while in middle school -The Topsy Turvy Land. Though I coudn't recall all that in the poem, I still remember the line -

You pay for what you never get,

In Topsy Turvy Land

Might sound funny but I feel that this is what hapening now with the police out here. Come to think of it, were they able to solve the Jessica Lal's case?..and that is waht they are suppose to do. Besides, they are on duty to protect the citizen....they are the one to protect you from being robbed and not being robbed by them.

This kind of incident once happened to a person I knew very very well. They were standing on a crowded highway and were having Pizza that was when a policeman approaced them and ask all kind of questions, then later manage to take 500 bucks from them..and you knwo what that police said to them "Even if you take this matter to the headquater, I can cook up any story since you are male and female.." **whew** thats the kind of world we are living in, the Topsy Turvy World.

Oh, by the way, not a single sip of beer/wine..name it..taken.

Saved

After a fortnigh of holiday, I am now back to Delhi and back to work. I reached Delhi on Tuesday and believe it or not, immediately recieve a call from the office, **sigh**.

Anyway, the vacation was perfect, familys fine (except fopr my aunt a bit weak).

So, I joined back office on Wednesday and things were still the same.....target to be achieved...understanding issues...apologies, etc etc..all still remain the same. As I jokingly said to one of my colleagues.."The best part of the holiday was NO 'I understand your issue...' and no apologies" :).

As I have mentioned, I joined on Wednesday and as usual, worked overtime, at first the OT was till 2:30am but then increased to 4:00 am. We left office at 4:05 am and went directly for my drop. I reached home and then after passing some words with my roomie, I went to the kitchedn and started to prepare tea. Thart was when my cell rang and I was quite shock to receive a call at that hour.

When I picked up the phone, it was from office and wonder waht it was about. Then the conversation goes:

"Bte, where are you?"

then I said "Home...why? what is the natter"

Then I heard a sigh of relieg from the other end and then I again asked what that call is about. Then, they ask

"Was Prabhat in your cab?"

Again, I said "Yes" and ask the same question. That was whne they told me that the very cab that just dropped me met an accident and they couldn't contact any of the cab member at that moment.

Later, I called up Prabhat and learnt that the accident took place near the fly over, after the cab turned back. I was relieved to hear that no one was seriously injured.

Just thought of sharing this how lucky I was that night. I feel that God does look after me.

Jam

So, it's my last entry till 20th June (I guess) as I will be saying 'Bye bye' to Delhi and leave for my home sweet home **sigh**.

I am so excited.

At the same time, I am quite scared - scared that my flight will be cancelled, don't want to stuck up in Kol :)

So, some of the good news is that at least least for the next two weeks, I won't be hearing:

- This is your target for today

- You have to meet your target

- Pick mails from WSS, its going OOSL

- Log into your mirrocraft, mails in Yahoo! Locals

- No vai trong

- Not acting as if you are calm when you are burning inside (Americans surely got to my nerve sometimes)

I wish, hope and pray that everyting will be fine.

God, it's been so long....I really miss my Mom and my family.

Today

It's 7 in the morning and here I am, sitting in fron of my system, ready to work :D but since the Kana software is down, got nothing to do, I don't know how long this gonna take and so I took this opportunity to make a post.

Ace - that's the name of my new team. It's been 15 months that I have work for IBM and this is already my third team (hope its not changed again). Anyway, the reason of this new team is that, we the SmallBiz group is divided into two teams with a Technical LOB.

Sometimes I used to ask myself, 'Do I deserve this title?' I am not so confident about calling myself a Tech Support but then I the non-tech one (I once handle the non-tech part too), really bores me, it was quite boring. You don't have to use your brain, just give the faq away..easy but very boring. Then, on the tech side, I yused to say to myself 'I am not the one for this job, its not my line' when the porblems are really tough and you have to find a solution for that. Sometimes it took me 30 mins to hmadle one problem but the result of that always gave me satisfaction.

May - I feel that May is the longest and the hottest month in a year, I don't know how I get this feeling but May is not my favorite month. Can't believe that there is still one week left. Had it been other months, we will be stepping into the new month by now., **whew**. We gave our cooler a major repair and works fine now :D. The best part of this month is that it rains frequently that cools down the temperature tremendously - to 35C ha ha..this is just so wonderful. so beautiful to see that this moring (while @virgo slept away)


My tickets are booked and I'll be singing 'Bye bye bye' to Delhi on 4th June :). I am so excited to go home. funny part is that I feel that my colleagues are as excited as I am, knowing that I haven't gone home for a very long time. My much needed break finally comes. God, I am so excited. Looking forward to meet my family, my friends. Can't wait to eat the Mizo food, yummy corn...uuhhhh I am so excited.
