Aa gale lag ja!!

My colleagues turned their heads and stared at me in disbelief. Some smiled others gaped… I was the centre of attraction.

By now u must have guessed agar Meet ye keh rahi hai to kuch to locha hai… Me, the centre of attraction! Ha ha

Well who doesn’t like to be the centre of attraction but at this moment it was actually not so likable. I wished I could hide myself in some remote part of the world, so remote that I could have actually run in to Osama. Hell I was embarrassed!

But thankfully for me (as well as Osama… what a coincidence two of the most powerful ppl in this world share rhyming names) the hell didn’t last long. Phew. So what’s all this about??

Well one of my colleague had asked me which movie is the song “tera mujhse hai pehle ka nata koi…” from. I, being forever in super excited and super loud mode, blurted out “Aa Gale Lag Jaa”.

Thanks to my extra sonic pitch the words echoed in the entire marketing department which at that very selected moment also had people from the other departments… A GOOD 15 HEADS TURNED (including a majority of 12- 13 amused men). Jinxed!!

2 minutes of silence for my virtual suicide and then all broke out laughing. I bet if they had remained silent for some more time I would have got a gud guided tour of hell. Newayz the jinx was broken and I was alive laughing at my self… (An after effect of the jinx I guess!)

I’m sure ek ya do ladke zaroor disappointed honge…(reminds me of the A R Rehman song which has ppl giving free hugs! Sorry guys I can’t get down to such charity!)

Waise I guess it was not as bad as I think (atleast no body actually came to claim a hug). That way my office ppl are great fun. atleast I cn definitely say tht 4 marketing department (where I work as content writer) and R&D department (where I have my other foot being the technical writer) You see I’m multifunctional.

But seriously working in your home town has its own joys. Not that I don’t miss the fun of working in a big city in a cool communications company. Not that I don’t miss all those exciting assignments and fun office environment not to forget all the cool places to hang out and all the fun I had with my cousin. But yeah seeing mom so happy and having my family, my room, my bed to go home to after work is truly a blissful feeling. What else I’ve got my Mom and Dad’s complete attention and they pampering me in all possible ways. (I must stop before I make my brother jealous…Miss u bhaiya! Love you)

Most importantly I’m back working in a position matching my job profile and not in an anveyi company. The best about the office is I have some really fun colleagues who don’t let me go home without having had a gud laugh (thanks to their hilarious talks and great sense of humor)! Yeah there are some people who love to indulge in office politics and meaningless petty gossip but we find some fun in that too. It’s been great so far and I wish it remains so ahead. I too am getting an attitude makeover for a more positive one. I hope I could bring Chetna out here. I miss her terribly and I’m sure she’ll restore her cheerful nature in good company. I hope the point is taken Chetu dear!!

I’m loving spending some great quality time with my mom after being away so long first in Ahmedabad and then B’lore. A time I’ll forever cherish.

Mom too is back in action after her surgery and I’m doing as much as I can to help her. SRK’s got his shoulder mended and must be at his home taking rest. Good for him, seeing the amount of time he’s spent in pain. I wish him a speedy recovery. Loved him in ‘Billu’ n eagerly waiting for “My Name is Khan” (Isn’t that too obvious Meet…what else can ppl expect from you). Even my office ppl know about my SRK mania.

Ok ok I’ll cut my SRK fantasy trip here!

That’s all for my account till now. I really wish I can get back to blogging as frequently as possible. Till then Ciao, loads of love and God bless

Shruti I hope I’ve put my thinking to some if not enough gud use!

Signing off with a promise for better blog (called chittha in Hindi … chit+ thanda wala th+ aa) post next time (plz don’t kill me if I don’t put up with the expectations which m sure kuch zyada nahi hongi) and a request

Keep Blah Blahing… Keep smiling and Keep living life to the fullest

(Ye to teen ho gaye… but all are simple enuf and equally important!!)

Please pray for SRK’s speedy recovery!! (Ok… ok… sorry last one plzzz!)

God Bless.
