The heroes at my workplace

The cleaners: They make all the tables spick and span irrespective of what we spill on them, coffee, biryani, curd, soft drinks, and what not! Sometimes, I feel people just take the cleaners for granted, which is quite sad for a bunch of educated people like us.

The washroom cleaners: They are always there to make the room fragrant and hygienic. I really salute you guys, and I just can't imagine what the work place would become into, without you guys!

The guy who puts milk into the coffee machine: Some of the most memorable conversations happen over coffee at the coffee tables across the whole floor, and this guy goes around, and makes sure the conversations continue and everybody has something to drink. An unsung hero is this guy.

The coffee guy in the filter coffee shop: This guy keeps all his customers awake! By making them coffee of their desired strength, he keeps people alert, and the conversations flowing among friends in different companies, but same building.

The chaiwallah near the building: This is the guy who knows all the gossip and about all bosses, that is how many stories he gets to hear! But yeah, he has an important responsibility of sending employees back wide awake, and cured of their colds and headaches, at least till the next cup of chai. If this guy was not a smoker, then he also tolerates an insane amount of smoking in his vicinity.

The helpers: The men who move chairs and tables wherever necessary, so that you can have your sessions comfortably. Just tell them you need 50 chairs in this room in 15 minutes, and they would have arranged the chairs neatly in 10!

The book delivery guy: This is the guy who literally delivers packets of happiness to so many employees in our company. And he never gets to the joy on our faces, when we go to the reception to collect our books and enjoy them over a large cup of steaming hot filter coffee!

These are the people who we do not thank, nor smile at. These people work in the shadows, or when nobody is around. Without these people, the office would descend into chaos, and nobody would be willing to pour milk into the coffee machine for themselves, let alone others. Kudos to you people, you bring joy to a lot of people, irrespective of whether they appreciate you for all the hard work you do for us. I hope someone delivers you joy as well!

Movie review: English Vinglish

I might be 6 years late, but here is my review of this Bollywood movie, starring Sridevi. Directed by Gauri Shinde, this film tackles some This film is freakin' awesome! I can't believe I hadn't watched this movie before. And if you haven't watched it, I suggest you clear out your calendar for tomorrow and grab some popcorn. This is mostly a serious movie, but the lighter moments are well placed, and make great viewing. The plot, the dialogues, the screenplay, everything is perfect. This movie is worth paying big bucks to watch on the big screen, unlike me, who watched it 6 years late on a 14 inch touchscreen. Sridevi is absolutely mesmerizing. Her acting in this movie is one of the best acting performances I have ever seen. When you watch her, her struggles become yours. You feel her happiness and sadness. You want her to do well. You want her to show the world, how much she can accomplish. Anything more I say here will be spoilers for the few people w

Going home, Pune trip and more

                Hola! Long time since I wrote anything, and here I am writing two posts. With so much happening, I have barely had time to breathe, least of all write a blog. Even today I just found time, because I am in a train, bound towards Kalyan, taking me away from Hyderabad for a deserved break from the mundane.                 I had to make an extremely difficult choice, one that I did not want to nor that agrees with my nature. But facing the truth is better than being under a delusion, only to be disappointed at the end. I cannot give keyboard exam this time. L (Sobbing inside) I am just too underprepared, and frankly, I have heavier things on my plate. The teacher thought 3 months would be enough, even I felt so. But it wasn’t meant to be. The exam comes too early for me, and I, despite wanting to, cannot practice and perfect the syllabus on time to pass the exam. Accepting this is really painful for me, especially when I don’t like giving up. What other choice do I h

New year resolutions

Belated happy new year! It is the time of the year where people set goals and targets for the year. Most fall short by the first or second month. Even I do. But my last year's resolutions were actually so good, I accomplished what I set out for: learn 2 foreign languages, Italian and French. At a basic level, but yeah, enough to survive. And some other goals too, which I did achieve satisfactorily. So what next? I have some resolutions this year too! Let me share some: Get better at piano This is compulsory. No two ways about this. For the past few months, I have become a little distant from the piano. But not anymore. I already started learning a song, one that is usually on my lips! The joy I derive from playing the piano, even if for little time, is very immense. And I already feel better. There is something magical about learning music, and at any cost, I do not want to disconnect from it. Do I have a plan? Umm… no. I have a new piano on my mind, but that depen
