Q1 Result 2007!!!

Foreword!!!

Well, its that time of the year when every1’s releasing their quarterly reports. So I think, why not I too??... Maybe I’ll start a trend that’ll catch on and be a start of a new revolution!!! God knows we could do with quarterly reports on the activities of politicians and cricket teams… Some accountability here could do wonders for performance, rite? So lets get on with the report…

Letter to stake holders:

Am in majet. Life is good. Forecast is positive… hope to be in majet next quarter and thereafter as well… Read further for specifics.

Index

To short for page numbers. The report is divided into three main sections… personal, professional, and social with various subsections. At the end of the report there’s the Happening in Q1 2007 and Not Happening in 2007 section, Don’t miss it!!!!

Personal:

Physical Health:
Good, no troubles in the last quarter. Need to improve physical fitness, will get down to it some day. Planning an IPO to raise funds for talwalkars.

Mental health:
No traumatic events in the past quarter. Was okay other than a few sad days, which I suppose is normal… If u aint ever sad, you wont realize the value of happiness (Wah!!!)

Love health (???, cant think of a better title)
Position vacant, still looking…
Intelligent (important), Funny (important), positive (important), super beautiful (not THAT important but would be given preference in case of tie in first three characteristics, in other words - tie breaker #1), rich (tie breaker #2) girls can apply… Hurry up, kahi ye mauka aapke haathon se nikal na jaaye!!!!

Major events:
Couple of Job changes.. (more details in professional section)… Got a new car… Dadi fell down, arm in plaster… She’s well now, although there’s still some time for the cast to come off

Professional:

Quit integrascreen following 2 mths of Notice period.. Still miss the ppl there, not so much the place, although I still have some very very good memories there!!!

Joined a new co. for a verry short time n left… Ppl were good, work was okay, pay was good…just got n offer I couldn’t pass up!!! Which brings me to.. Patni.. yes folks, am now with patni computers… business Research Analyst!! Work is damn cool, am workin on some great stuff… work pressure is okay… company is rocking too (not hard rock though…more U2/bryan Adams than Metallica/Iron maiden.. but hey, we still rock!!!)

Overall, this quarter was very good time for me professionally, I see myself staying here at patni for a long time.. :)

Social life:

Didn’t make many new friends this quarter, hard to meet existing standard you see… Been meeting Stairrorists/Integrites almost every week this quarter and almost every time is fun… There was a lull in stairrorist activities for some time but things have started happening again… High Points of the quarter would be Anand Resort/Elephanta Caves with Integra Folk n Bheja Fry/Np meets with the stairs….

Most of the folk I know seem to have had good quarters themselves (some literally have good quarters or even ‘khamba’s)… One or two ppl been sulkin around in depression… which I’ve been told is a ‘normal phase’ for almost every1 sometimes…maybe its true, but shutting ppl off for weeks, (almost 4-5 months in case of one moronic but other wise very smart person, who btw, is more kameena than me…..Sorry for drifting off here.. back to the point) doesn’t make sense, especially since me Being a person who sees even an empty glass as partially filled with water due to the water vapor content in air (slight exaggeration here)… In case you didn’t get the connection, I was saying how positive I am and others should be too….

Rest is cool…

Happening in Q1 2007…

• Bheja fry (Esp Vinay pathak)
• Anand Resort

Friendship Day e-mail :)

Hey ppl,


As you all know..or you may all not know, or some of you may know, or some of you might not have known but now know (I fall in this group), or some of you may not know at all even now (although u will if u reach till the end of the sentence), August 6th is Reportedly called ‘Friendship Day’

Apparently, this is kept on a Sunday (who keeps it is unknown, but I have a theory which is listed below)….Anyways what I wanted to say was that “Do we need a special day to celebrate friendship??” No naa…So here’s me thanking you 4 being my friend today, tomorrow, and every day for the next 365 days at the end of which, I will send this, or a similar mail to those of you are alive at that time, or to those of you whom I still consider to be my friends at that time (I’m a very forgiving person so all of u who are alive at the end of the stipulated period will probably come in this category)

It should be apparent to u by now, that right now, I don’t have any work (although I do), So some more food for thought?

what does “happy friendship day” mean? (I think this is a conspiracy by a cartel of Greeting card members to increase their sales… ) Your thoughts, views would be appreciated (possibly)….Other burning questions of the day..


why did the chicken cross the road…

Do we have any evidence that it was on the other side of the road earlier?? So how do we know that it actually crossed the road??


Have we factored subways/overhead bridges in out contemplation on this subject??


Regards,

Very cool e-mail

This is the mail..its really good..made me think (a lot!) which is rare for me...(Thank you Vishal for forwarding this mail to me :) )

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.


Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime.

Back....again??
