Give'em Red

I am 350 ML less today and quite lighter at heart. Medical Science says it takes us about a week to replenish it, but what difference does it make ?
The fact that it went for a cause overrides everything. And this time unlike last times,the reciever is some one known.

An Unexpected Arrival

Sitting in Winchester 10G, hearing Mr. Ramachandran in an Advanced Capital market session, when there was a buzz on my "Rarely Ringing" cellphone. I only hoped it was not a call and it was not. The cell buzzed shortly on the Silent mode and went silent. Came out for a break after about an hour later not remembering that there was an unread Message lying in my inbox.Frequent promotional SMS'es have cast a shadow on my mind which always says "Forget it, it must be one from the service provider for a new so called MONEY SAVER scheme".
It was only later in the day when the trainig session culminated that I had a look at my cell. 2 Unread Messages. As expected one was from the service provider. The other one from Rajesh - The Aamir khan of the Trio (Which trio and Why so is a rather long story).
The exact line in the message read " I am blessed with laxmi ji".
I was stunned. I always made it a point to meet him everytime I visited home. The last time was abt 6 months ago, but was not expecting this news.
Though it was always at the back of my mind that sooner or later the news will be coming. And Was I excited...aaahhhhhh.....
I feel like being there to meet him right now, but practically it will only be after a month or so.

Congrats to the Proud Parents, both being my classmates.

The Phantom Dissapointment

One of those days when nothing too disappointing happens but still at the end of the day you feel like a loser. Difficult to comprehend which moment saw the transition from a fairly upswing mood to a very uncomfortable dullness during the day. But then a few things are above human intelligence.

I am pretty sure Archimedes had a reasonably dissapointing day before the morning when he ran out of his bathtub.

Diwali Celebrations @ OFTG Hamilton

Had some good time today playing 'Secret Laxmi' (desi version of Secret Santa) and a lot of sweets and fruits at the OFTG enclosure in Lehman Hamilton Office. It was great fun with everyone guessing whose gift was brought by whom. and of course it was great fun to open a hell lot of packings to get the hidden treasure, a collection of 204 25p coins as a gift. Quite unique.
