Lately I have been meeting many people...Socialising..Partying and generally at work...And I realised that all of us have these mottos or words which we like to say...Like our personal trademark.

Here's a list of a few of them:

Anil Sanjivan (The BOSS)- Those monkeys will never understand

Sudipta Dhruva (The Creative Head) - Heyy Sweeetiieee (She'll extend the hey...for all its worth)

Saritaa Joshi - (The other Boss)- Acha sun baby..Mera ek kaam karde

Neha Kandalgaonkar (The colleague whom u can gossip with)- Cartoon u are

Viren D'silva (The client whom u've been rude to on the very first day) - It's a bloody 12 rupee set or babe, can u please send me that email

Ankit Fadia - (The guy with whom you check the credibilty of 500 rupee notes) - Basically, it's like or Bahut simple hain

Chirag Makwana - (The idiot with whom u have fun in office) - English mein sunne ke liye "ek Dabaiaye" or "Good morning sir, main MNRE quiz ki taraf se bol raha hoon, kya main principle se baat kar sakta hoon"

Anand - (The "Stud" peon)"Ha madam" (In complete angry young man ishtlye)

Atul Shah - (The accounts guy)- Chirag, please pass my printouts na

Anusree Bonnerjee - (The events head with huge eyes) - It doesn't fit into my costings

Simran Puri - (The funny colleague) - Nahi sir, my name is not Chandan it is Simran, S-I-M-R-A-N Puri.Ha..Kamina

Kapil Daryani (The bouncer friend)- Chepli...Dekh Rucha

Lagna Das - (The hilarious career frd cum soulmate) - Ugh, bastard, bastard, bastard

THE SHORTEST PITCH EVER

It's strange when u receive the rewards of doing a job well..especially when u least expect it. The shock, surprise and the sudden rush of pleasure where you can actually feel the emotions racing across your face is a thrilling experience. underlying all this is the little voice of fear that all this is actually a joke and you may not be the winner after all. and believe me, this adds to your giddiness. You dont know whether to grin or to stay silent and the result is that you're sort of stuck halfway between the two. So your smile ends up looking like a grimace and you look like you want to go a pee..badly.

On the other hand, you learn something new everyday if only you keep your minds open. Now I have been credited with having a very closed and narrow mind. So I'm trying to broaden my horizons. I feel like writing right now and so I am. But not what my boss told me to write..I'm writing what i feel like writing in this case - my blog. A good job yesterday doesn't constitute a good job tomorrow. And you needn't be dependent on the good jobdone yesterday. Play everyday like it's your last day and set a new target for every single day. Fact of life. This is what Rafael Nadal does. And all of the above was quoted by my boss last tuesday.

Lets see what else - yes, the greatest tragedies in life make you strong and motivate you to perform better, all your anger, your sense of betrayal, your loss combines to form this one hammer which you hit every time on the flatboard of your life. Till your mind and your heart work in tandem and there's no room for mistakes. Funny how i've pushed and pushed myself harder and harder but i cant seem to recall that right now. I dont even know wether i workd this hard to deserve this. and i havent got the time to think back about what i EXACTLY did.

Sometimes - Life just gives you rewards that are long overdue. But hey, do you hear me complaining?
