My list of Whys-These are questions that I have every now and then....And the Answer to all of them seems to be the irritating "Murphy's Law"-You can add ur list too...
WHY:
1. Does my comp crash when I have a deadline to meet..
2. Do escalation mails go to the entire world and mails of appreciation(precious and rare) come to me in Isolation
3. Does the Cab either leave or gets filled just when I am about to step in
4. Do problems and fires happen at office when I am on a Vacation
5. The outgoing calls get blocked when I have a imp call to make
6. The server goes down when I am booking my flight tickets
7. Does any guy who seems remotely interesting fall in love with someone else within a week of meeting me
8. When everything seems fine-does my friend calls me up and tells me about their new job in my dream company with a dream package
Well I guess Mr Murphy was a smart person- He gave us an answer to many generic questions and thus prevented a scope of cribbing of how unfair the world is

Office Romance Nuances.........
In this day and age, most people spend as much time at work with their colleagues as they do outside of work socialising with friends. Because of this, many individuals turn to the workplace to find romance. This phenomenon is no surprise. Now, it’s almost acceptable! But don’t get bogged down if the romance is about to fizzle. Here’s how you could deal with the tough situation with dignity and grace. DO keep your relationship out of the office. Hopefully, you will have already set ground rules about what is appropriate inside the walls of your company. This means you and your partner have steered clear of public displays of affection throughout your relationship. Apply this same rule if you breakup. Don’t discuss about your failed relationship. Any display of emotional discourse between the two of you will only make you look unprofessional - and will be certain to set off the gossip mill of the company.
DON’T get nasty or resort to name calling or bad mouthing. In most breakups, one of the perks is being able to say nasty things about your ex to your friends. In a situation where the two of you share friends and colleagues, however, the rules change. The last thing your company needs is a he said, she said war going on in the office, so bite your tongue and save your criticisms for your friends outside of work. DO remember that your job is your first priority. One reason so many company executives and human resources employees shudder at the thought of interoffice relationships is the effect they have on company productivity. Breaking up does lead to an emotional upheaval, but don’t let it keep you from doing your work.
Everyone has to face a difficult personal situation and still go on with life - how you handle yours will show others how committed you are to your career and your company’s success. DON’T be harsh in the office - The tricky thing about dating a co-worker is the fact that after a breakup, you still have to see him or her during the workday. This makes office romance breakups even more difficult than others. As painful as it may be to run into your ex at the coffee machine or sit across from him or her at a monthly staff meeting, try to put your personal feelings aside and handle yourself with dignity and professionalism. DO keep your emotions to yourself. Emotions run high during breakups, but you will fare much better in the long run if you keep a lid on them in the office. DON’T play teenager relationship games. These have no place in any adult relationship, much less in the office. Most people can see right through these displays and will think less of you as a professional if you indulge in them. DO think twice about jumping into another office romance.
While office romances don’t always end up in the gutter, there are a wide range of complications that these relationships entail. Chances are you will save yourself a great deal of complications in the long run!

Provoked
Oh Yes I was.....Big Time......
And I had a very good reason for it...I wonder why he did wat he did- that is stare unabashedly at my twin assets...The bloke had come for a interview with Microsoft....For a minute I thought I was mistaken.....But of course I realized the guy was upto no good....
The interview lasted for exactly 7 mins- my shortest yet.
I got a vicious pleasure writing the Regret e-mail- sugarcoating it appropriately - telling him how we don't have a place for him.I wish I could have told him - "we need people with stronger moral fibre dude".
A passing thought came to my mind- what would have the situation been had I been interviewed by him- well I guess i would have had more freedom to slap him.
I take pride in the fact that I am a woman- Independent, Smart and Brave-I don't need a man to protect me, buy me diamonds or a house or a car- I can do that myself.
I need a man to be friends with me, to be a soulmate , to be a companion...nothing more- nothing less.I can be your Best Friend- and your Worst Enemy too-And I am a prototype -of everyone of my type...
The smile on my face is not a sign of weakness-its our strength....
Don't even try to tamper with my dignity- the last time a person tried that- a colleague- he was out of his job in less than two hours......
And that is just a mild repurcussion.......

M Boleh Toh.....
MICROSOFT aur kya:)
I have spent almost 2 years in this org-India Development Center to be precise-and it has been 2 years of hardwork, fun and loads of learning.
So what does it take to be a Microsoftian- I am not talking of the Technical Skills- you need to have a penchant for thinking out of the box all the time-creativity is a culture here , and you need to be fun loving , like to live on the edge with a sense of adeventure, take on new challenges without thinking twice and Yes most importantly live without a sense of fear- All of that and lots more.It breeds a culture that makes people responsible and accountable- you dont get to Boss around, neither do you get to live to flatter your Boss .
Live, Dream, think and grow as a professional, thats what makes a Microsoftian unique.....
This might sound like a publicity board from a HR professional.....
Actually this is a direct dil ki baat from a happy and contented employee......
I do not know what the future holds for me, I do not know if tomm is going to be good....but today I am happy and will sleep peacefully:)
