How normal are you?



You Are 30% Normal
(Occasionally Normal)



You sure do march to your own beat...
But you're so weird, people wonder if it's a beat at all
You think on a totally different wavelength
And it's often a chore to get people to understand you

How Normal Are You?

LATE COMING TO OFFICE

Dear All,
We are constrained to inform you that there has hardly been any improvement in attendance. By 9 am today, just 50% employees had marked their attendance. The managing director has expressed his displeasure at this trend and desires that all associates be present in office by 9 am on all working days.
We would also like you to note that we have only 30 minutes for the lunch break and not one hour. All are therefore advised to adhere to the following floor-wise lunch schedule :-
Lunch timing :-
Ground floor 1:00 to 1:30

Basement, First floor 1:30 to 2:00

Good wishes
Regards

1) hmmm..I would like to know the % of employees who work well after 6pm ;-)
2) Another brilliant idea, how abt opening a dominos outlet in the office premises, that'll surely save lots of time and will increase the productivity :-P

now I'm less than 45 hours away from her :-) ....its going to be great….meeting her after 12 days.....{*}

alas... in reality, I'll be traveling with my parents and I know she won't b coming to airport..only her parents and her brother will come to receive us ...{another delay of 30mins} uhhh...anti-climax :-(
And from then script for next 32 hrs has already been written by my F-i-L, our itinerary is like Lucknow-Ayodhya-Lucknow and back to Delhi by Sunday evening, its going to be hectic; going to different temples doesn't excite me a bit but...but....nobody listens to me damn it!!!!

And dear wife has already ordered me to get the hair-cut done, and asked to wear that black cargos with that gray t-shirt..... B-(

hmmm..this is life!!!!

Time management boss, Time management, each minute is precious, do something.

Dada....seriously u need a break from both forms of cricket, step down do not ruin the career of likes of Dinesh Mongia/Hemang Badani etc.
And as a consequence of this, players like Yuvraj n Kaif can't be dropped coz of their poor performance.
Dada lead by example....step down :-P

*****

1 month 'Marriage Anniversary'?? hahahaha.....I dunno what is the correct term for completing one month of something.

Note to self :: FOCUS is the word.....just 3 books boss just 3 books, go for it. Yes....

I can count the number of times we actually met in person, even number of hours spent together can be counted easily but number of hours spent talking over phone can’t be :-).

In past 4 yrs, I tried all cellular service providers.. “Airtel”, Hutch”, “Idea”, “Dolphin/Trump” and finally settled down with Reliance….helping Anil & Mukesh in realizing DhiruBhai’s dream.

It is nothing short of a miracle; it’s something straight out of fairytales. Yes, I’m talking about my marriage; we met in yahoo chat room in the year 2001 and now after a 4yrs of long distance relationship we are happily married (so far : -P)

This feeling is something unexplainable; harder I try to pen down this…faster my mind goes blank.

There is someone up there controlling everything.

*********
Thank you YAHOO.
Thank you MTNL.
Thank you Deepesh for providing me chori-ke-Satyam-and-BSNL passwords.
Thank you Gagan for dragging me along to Lucknow much against my wishes.
Thank you Vipul for being my host @ Lucknow on my subsequent trips, for all breakfasts and dinners u made for me.
Thank you Sana, Shaila, Sara and Ghuncha.
Thank you Payal and Prachi.
Thank you IRCTC.
Thank you Jain Sahab.
…the list is endless…

...Thank you everybody for all the wishes and prayers.
