The Month That was...

A quick background about my last month or so and I'll jump right into the highlights....Have been shuttling up and down to Bangalore on account of this giant sized project we are doing for a biggggggggg infra company here.. During the week in Blore and come home for weekends...

1) Getting to Blore is a fuckin bitch now...wat with the new airport in Devanahalli now...it takes me 2.5 hours to get from the airport to my office. Considerin the actual flight time is only 30minutes....its a royal pain in the ass!!!! And with Shatabdi in full demand now...Enduring the traffic is the only option I have.

2) All is not lost though..Im earnin tons of miles...well..ok maybe not...its only 350 odd kms....but multiply that by 2 (round trip) and one trip a week...i guess im good.

3) This one is my favourite...On one of the flights I took comin in to Blore..the flight was manned by ALL GUYS!!!! Yayyyyyyy...Each one was hotter than the other...sighhh..Now that's wat i call Eye-Candy....A delight to the eyes early in the mornin..unlike the regular female air hostesses who wear like a ton of make up and some of them actually look a bit scary with so much eye-shadow...
So I cheaply kept calling them one after the other on some lame excuse or the other......First I needed water..then I needed the paper..Then I needed a magazine... you get the drift :)

4)The place where they have put me up is really nice..Its a service appartment in a nice posh locality in Indranagar...and the place serves some sexed out breakfast... :)

5) Actual work sucks - We start really early like 8in the morn..and work till like 12in the night...and we're workin non-stop inbetween...often without dinner..and a hungry and stressed me I can tell u is definetly not a happy me! This place is full of politics also...the dirty kind..and as consultants we're always getting sucked into... :(

6)Oooooh..one aspect of work which I should mention...So I was assigned to this one group within the company..the toughest group..Up until now they had been giving us a lot of trouble nad were generally acting all asshole like...and to be honest I was very surprised that I was given tat particular group to handle..since I was brought into the project at a fairly late stage and some of my colleagues had been on the project from the start..and a few of them were fairly senior to me too...so I was feelin all self important and my ego was all raised. When I went for my first meeting with the group...I was introduced as the consultant from Chennai brought into help out on the project...The guy got full excited..."You're from Chennai Huh???Very Good Very Good..You're Tamilian huh??Very Good Very Good". The meeting went very well...and they gave us all what we were sitting on their ass for like a month with no issues...So I went back to office feeling even more self-important and generally happy on wat a great job I'd done..I told my colleagues that all work over..and that they were very excited I was Tamilian....My boss's immediate reply was "Why the hell do u think we sent u!!!!!"
Damn...Ego and all came crashing.... :(

7)Last week I was sooo sick of work and just needed a break...Since the whole team was working very hard...there was no way in hell I had the guts to say..boss I;m done..cant take this shit no more..im leaving....yeah..im chicken like that..so i came up with this elaborate lie...told my boss my granny who lives in blore is super pissed with me cos I;ve been up and down to blore sooo many times and not once I;d visited her...she creating a big ruckus and had called my dad and complained to him..and that my mom and dad are super pissed with me cos I'm putting work over family...okay..not the best lie...but my brain was fried already....this was the most creative I could get...who's complainin..it worked....I left at 9:30pm...That was early for me,,,Asked the auto guy to drive like a mad man...reahced hotel.got dressed up and proceeded to party. :)woooooooo hooooo....

8)I;ve had a chance to meet up with my friends every week and go partyin..I dont party in Madras too much..Reason being...I invariably run into someone my brother/father/mother knows..and its always promptly reported back to them..Not that my parents dont mind me parting once in a while..But they dont like it when ppl come and tell me they spotted me here at 11in the night...so I prefer not to go...
Bangalore - I have no suxh qualms..No one knows me or my family..and I can drink and party my ass off..Went to some awesome places here though the 11:30PM rule here sucks...

9)Yesterday we had a working lunch with the client...A medium size board room filled with abt 20 fifty plus yr old men ..They served us idli and vadai for lunch..wat the fuck..who serves idli vadai for lunch..pretty soon...the board room was smelling like shatabdi train...also..vadai tends to give gas...paavam....one of the mamas sittin in front of me couldnt deal with it and actually lifted one of his butt cheeks and proceeded to let a couple rip....anyone who knows me can vouch I cannot control my laughter..and I can never not laugh at kusus..So I politely excused myself from the meeting..went to the loo and laughed my ass off!

10)I now catch a lot of my US friends online since Ive been keepin crazy hours...I was chattin with one of my good friends and I was ranting and raving on abt how much I hate this assignment...and how I feel like quitting and how we hardly get food and that I;m sooo hungry...generaly wallowing in self pity..and as friends...my only expectation from you is to shut up and listen to me rant and rave...instead I was given advice on how I should sit in the corner..centre myself and take deep calming breaths..and that I should eat somethin which gives me strength like nuts or energy bars...what the fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think the air in US makes them deranged and causes them to say things that would warrant them getting beaten up in India had they said them here...As Indians we dont eat nuts to give strength..we eat kadalai or put kadalai..and if someone saw me sitting in the corner and take deep calm breaths..they'd think im standing in the corner to fart!!!!

Cant think of anythin else interestin...or worthwhile mentioning...So will end here by sayin that...Though I bitch and cuss every single day abt Blore, abt the traffic abt my client and my work..I;m secretly enjoying every second of it..though I dont want it to last much longer...
