10 seconds


Today I realized how seconds make a difference in a one’s life. Those 10 seconds that stopped me at the light. Between those 10 seconds the 1st car made a wrong judgment and got hit by a truck. Those 10 seconds the second car never thought he could make it but narrowly escaped when the truck and the 1 st car curled up like twins behind his car. Those 10 seconds where the 3rd car thought he was safe but experienced close to death. The only common thing between all of us was that we were colleagues at work. Hope all get better soon from injuries and after shock

The Corporate War


It has always been a fist fight between managers and engineers. Prolonged denial of projects by management has become the tradition in corporate world. $$ decides whether prioritizing or dismissal of it. In spite of having folks who have inhabited years in my position put me in the hot spot to drag it to completion. All that was on my mind when I entered into the dimmed conference hall with the big heads seated, was not whether I can or cannot, but it was how and when. Optimistically I started off, with a good note and I found the response very approachable. Now it makes me wonder what made them approve. Is it a fresh face to the flock, a female or is it my individual approach. Well at this point just felt like I deserved a pat for myself .

Hate to say this but " Good bye to all and will miss all of you !!!"

With a Blink of my eye,
I stand here empty and hollow,
Hearing the echoes of mirth,
With different faces from past three years

Merciless time truly is a master
Turns my present to past
Cascaded emotions spread the warmth
Of my tear of farewell on my skin.

Good bye Friends, Good bye Syracuse
May the future awaits and destiny bind us again

Last road trip along East Coast

Unsullied fall wind, meandering roads, roasted and butter dipped leaves camouflaging among the green mountains is a portrait that will never fade away from my memory. It is fascinating how nature is guileless and expressive through seasonal changes which decipher my ambiguity on creation. In retrospect, my thoughts vacillates back and forth through time with incessant and myriad of road trips that I have taken on this same route for the past 5 years. With a huge sigh this trip adds an end note to it. The faint silence I experienced during this trip was filled with mixed emotions, the love I had for the east and the animosity to let go few acquaintances. But as always, good times are remembered and hopefully welcome the better ones in future.

Thank u FG’s for making this trip special

Longest weekend ever

Though it’s quintessential of me walking into my cube on a Monday morning with droopy eyes and reluctant morning wishes to everyone. This weekend has taken it to a next level where I felt I was sedated. Yes this has been my longest weekend with deprived dosage of my beauty sleep. Farewell dinners, gets togethers, bday parties and sleepless nights of debating on rational conversations, truce and confessions. Guess I am now an official member of trust at the 309’s.

For every new line I draw
My prudence is challenged
For every new line I cross
My prejudice is questioned
For all the lines I have drawn
My trust is ensured.

Goodbyes and farewells

I realized bidding farewell is the most convoluted feeling, not only with loved ones but even with the ones known for a short term. Today is one such day where I witnessed the gang of 8…with loaded memories, heart filled gifts and forlorn sighs let go of their beloved one. It deemed to me that good bye is the only word that is tagged with multitude of emotions. Well all goodbyes need not be the end but a beginning to a limpid and lasting relationship.

The Knot

It has been a week since I had “THE KNOT” tied. Officially I take in a new last name of the person whom I will be sharing an eternal relationship. Connecting myself with the new ambience I am gradually plummeting into the role that I will maneuver. Having lived a self absorbed slipshod life for the past 4 years, time has now taken a toll for a turnover for me to be the meticulous grafter who implants and restores when needed. Watching the world scurry through time where life any minute is capricious, I believe my lucky stars will conspire to focus on my new expedition ahead.

Guitar heroes


“Better late than never” laks and I were resolute to give it our shot in fitting ourselves with a horde of amateur guitarists. The kick start was almost a fistic struggle with grimaces on pains, hardened finger tips, and frustrations on strumming the same strings one by one every day. The raucous noises when striking the wrong chords and the giggles with the missing note is yet the fun part of our learning curve. Well the first step is taken . Lets keep our vatic hopes of becoming the guitar heroes animate
