The 6th Sense.


Extra-sensory perception is nothing but the 6th Sense.
Some ppl are blessed with this perception.

There is a particular category of ppl (in Bangalore particularly) 
who possess this acumen.

This category is very often called "Bai" / "Amma" / "Maid".
:)

They possess a supernatural power to predict / perceive when the load factor for daily chores is about to get high.

We have guest visiting us almost every second weekend. These maids somehow find an excuse to take a couple of days / week off.

My in-laws and an infant (cute/sweet/charming) nephew have given us company for this week. Some how (once again - Somehow) our cook got the vibes and she took the week off.
We made it a point that we will not mention / talk in front of her. But then too.. 

Our maid who does daily morning cleaning has a daughter who is supposed to get engaged.
Gone for two days.
Wow.. 

I truly believe.. this prodigious category of ppl should be recruited by the defense / military and possibly all intelligence divisions to foresee crime (pun intended).

So what if it's Friday

There are days / times when you get up in morning with a heavy head after just about 4 hours of night sleep (Working late hours). Don't feel like doing anything.. talking to anyone.. don't feel like working.

But it's Friday yar.. SO what?
If I have a foul mood, then how does it matter it's Friday or Monday or Tue?
Why do ppl keep saying.. It's okay boss, its Friday chill, relax.

Friday doesn't allow me to relax when I have P0 (highest priority) work to finish with a bad bad mood.
That's when I say - So bloody what if it's Friday.

i10 on its way..

Woppie.. 

After test driving atleast a dozen cars. Rejecting half a dozen within first 5 mins.. 

Rejecting rest after couple of days, we booked an i10 today.

 

Getting the delivery soon.. 

 

The most interesting event of the day.

We told the sales person in the showroom that we are interested in booking two i10's today (one for me and one for sis). 

The words had just come out and there was tea + water in front of us.

The head of sales person joined us (for tea.. ha ha ha).

All of sudden there is a finance guy standing there.

We started negotiating on the price.. The good thing was uniformity in information.

Everyone of them (including the finance guy.. don’t know why is he talking ) said that there cannot

be any concession on the Ex-showroom price.

 

I folded my sleeves and came down to accessories.

Greedy me started with 2 central remote locking, 2 cig lighters, set of seat cover and sun films (for each car).

It is unbelievable that after one and a half hour, they agreed to it.

 

We had filled forms for one of the i10's and I was about to start, I get a call from my friend.

After a much elaborated discussion with him and couple of calls to my dad, I decided to post pone

grand event of purchasing two cars. We settled for one (for now).

 

Now.. back to the heated environment in the showroom, atleast 14 eyes were on me. (I count 4 eyes for ppl who wear glasses) :D

I some how had to hide/run/squeal away from the situation.. I just announced very boldly - 

"My dad has asked me to postpone the purchase of second car".

 

That’s it. Cups removed, glass of water evaporated, everybody got busy with their work.

Just one sales person standing with us doing all the formalities....

 

No doubt money gets great attention.. It’s okay.. attention or no attention.. we have an i10 on our way :)

Disconnected

At times it’s good to be disconnected from gadgets, cell phones, emails, blogs, traffic, almost everything.

The world seems totally different (not necessarily quiet and peaceful though).

 

It was during the first week of May that felt totally in a different world.

A trip to my hometown. The sizzling heat (45 degrees) was enough to bake an egg in SUN.

Without switching on my Laptop, I survived for a whole week. My God!! Now I think I have been missing it.

 

A 5 hr train journey (before taking a flight back to Bangalore) made me wonder the numerous “Disconnection".

 

1. Disconnected - from the hyped "IT" world

2. Disconnected - from the Bangalore's traffic

3. Disconnected - from the fake socializing smiles

 

Even though I don't talk much (gossip) with folks back in hometown, I always feel connected.

I don't feel the need of chatting, talking over phone, etc to be connected. It’s the understanding that matters and makes the connection.

 

A week off from office made me feel Disconnected, even from my colleagues.

Strange??? Yes, for the first time in last 3 years, it did.

When I joined back, I felt a void space within my team. I felt disconnected from work.

WHY????? No clue.

 

Catching up with work, emails, office stuff is giving me the vibes back.

2 days.. I have tried to bridge the so called gap (void space as I feel). Don't know how long will it take to hit back.

 

Why do ppl need to behave like smart assess? 

 

It’s really sad for a foodie like me to eat lunch silently. Staring at faces / other tables.

It’s so boring.
