I am back!

Hi all,

I am still alive even though my first and last blog appeared 4.5 years ago.

Something 'real filmy' happened to me 2 days back and I think I should share the experience with u. I took a flight from Calcutta to Delhi and this incident happened. I had a novel with me and I wanted to read it during the flight. I kept my boarding pass in the novel and placed it in the magazine bin in front of my seat. Then I had to find a place for my bag as no space was available in the overhead bin. I came back to my seat and found the novel missing. I looked everywhere around my seat but couldn’t find it. I thought there were only 2 possible explanations both related to my old age: Either I kept the book again in my bag without realizing or I left it in the bus between the terminal and the plane. I went and checked my bag and the novel wasn’t there.

There was a group of 5-6 people 2 rows in front of me. They were well dressed and seemed like they were on a business visit. They were laughing a lot and I was happy to see people getting along with their colleagues. Then I saw that a guy among them was holding an identical novel and I found that they were referring to the book a couple of times. I found it a bit odd but then it is a new novel & quite popular. However, I wanted to do something more than cursing myself for leaving the novel in the bus. So, after a while, when the guy was not reading the novel anymore, I went up to him and said “Can I take a look at your book please.” He handed me the novel and I pretended to read the title and all. Then I found a boarding pass inside with my name on it. I said “I think this is my boarding pass and I need it. Thanks!” I took the boarding pass and returned the novel.

I could see the guy was really embarrassed and didn’t move after that till I got off the plane. But then I had a connecting flight so I couldn’t meet him again during luggage collection.

I still believe that this guy had some good reasons for doing what he did (It was just Rs. 200 novel and one way flight ticket is around Rs. 5k). I am quite satisfied with my impromptu performance and I think I will be better next time :)

take care (of yourself and your belongings)

memoirs of a jobless loser

hi everybody...this is one of my new year resolutions..so plzz bear with me :P

So our placements started arnd a month back nd i m still jobless....this past month has been amazing in the sense that I've thought a lot, analyzed a lot, repented a lot nd have been frustrated a lot...
Now there are some characteristic qualities that I've developed in the meantime
1. I feel more comfortable chatting with other jobless losers than well-placed studs :D
2. I've become erratic...one moment I am giving a pep talk to some fellow loser nd next moment I am all sullen
3. My faith in butterfly effect has increased manifold, when I think how one phrase or one gesture during the interview completely changed my life
4. Sometimes I also get a very strong urge to use slangs..which I generally avoided so long...I think Calvin rightly said.."life's disappintments are harder to take when u dont know any swear words" :D

Among the people who know me I get 3 kinds of reactions for me being unemployed

dont care: Most easy reaction to understand....I dont care about everybody's placement I know..so I dont expect everybdy to care abt mine either

care: these are the ppl who helped me after every failed interview...nd I m really indebted to them...thank u

dont care but show that I care : these are the worst kind of ppl who do nothing but make u more frustrated....they make statements like "tujhe kya fark padta hai, tu toh app maarega" without even knowing me that well...its a request to all those guys who plan to use this phrase again... plzz I m better without them :)

I know this is my frustness talking..but hey I just completed my first blog
