heya ppl.. getting back to office after diwali holidays dosnt feel dat gr8 eh? well value wat u have..coz there are ppl yearning to start working!! daaaats me.yup m still awaiting my joining in hcl..sigh! its kinda funny the fact that evry odr person has SOME information regarding the company, which they treasure thinking theyre the only ones with the info..while those who make em up n pass em on to odrs laugh over it n themseleves treasure some info made up in turn by somone els...its a vicious circle..but u do get to hear a lot of crap..n my favourite are the ones where the guy who himself dosnt have a job, not even an offer boasts out loud - mera bhai hai iss company mein..wo hi sambhaalta hai sab kuch and makes u feel that hes d only guy on earth who cn gt ur work done n u will owe ur life to him in return..yawn..get a life ppl!!
Nyhow..these days r being a little tough on me..since i dont have the one person in my life that evryone loves..trust me... evryone!! A wife loves him so much n so does the husband.. she waits for him more eagerly than her own husband..yea u guessed it - domestic help..since i m livin alone..(yippie.. but it has its pros n cons..) so i had a guy named karan who used to work since when my family used to live where i am still present..but my dad shifted his job so i was left here n wid him to take care of my household chores..n he did a marvellous job i must say..never scared of the amount of work..alwz happy by himself singing his folk tunes..n driving me nuts coz they used to go on 24-7 Non Stop..literally..n included a variety of ppl from the autoo wala to the rickshaw wala..n god knws who..! all said n done he was a great help..but recently my mausi ji had a few health problems n since her help was out on leave so i was happy to be able to help her in any way possible..so i sent this guy there..n now m doing much of the stuff myself..which i alwz like to do but was losing touch..the rest of the cleaning n all is done by a maid whom i call in frequently..so i m managing evrythng well.
my mom keeps asking me on ISD as to wat i will be eating n when my joining is beginning, to either of which i have no clue watsoever..!! lol.. but i have now learned that theres more to a sandwhich which ur 'help' brings to u all tasty lukin n ready to eat..thers a lot of cutting, slicing, garnishing, putting together etc..although i can cook..no i mean i can cook not jus bread but lots of odr stuff like dal n rice..n even vegetables..eggs..biryani too..!! mny odr things.. i can throw the chapattis in the air n still be able to catch them when they come down.. ;P dats nt wat i m doin rgt nw ..but i can..so my eating pattern is kinda going wayward but i m happy to be able to help my mausi who has alwzzzz given us kids soooo much love n oh such great food!!! she rocks...no srsly shes the best cook i knw..theres alwz somthing new n tasty cookin up in her kitchen..well its heavy too..n we do tend to put on weight if we visit her place like i did dis diwali..n i had a rockking time..wid my Bhatiji-anika shes jus a 3 yr old..n we've had like an instant connection since when she was born..she loves playin wid me..n shes the cutest thing i knw!
these days r like the testing times..the waiting period..n evry time i spend its like - ur nt doing nything ur not earning only spending!! i cud write a song wid such lyrics..nywz so to gt over the shame of spending m working at an event management company..life is unpredictable..hope my joining comes soon..els i mgt do ab mba in all this time..hehe.. i have learned a lot bout managing stuff in real life..i mgt as well learn bout corporate management..LBS here i come.. Lokhandwala Business School..!!

My Marketing Experience..
Hey all..as if nyone actually reads my blog!! lol..
i hear that no matter how gud a product is..it dosnt sell unless backed by an excellent marketing strategy..be it the young minded cool Axe effect ADs..or the dobara mat poochna mint..! i love the creativity involved in these things n i feel i wana be a part of it too..but ones crazy colg ideas mgt sound funny bt pbbly dont have the selling point in em.
Nywz i wanted to share my marketing experience.. of when i usually go to buy some vegetables in the weekly "Mangal Bazaar"..As soon as i enter the road alongside which the market forms - thela by thela - in the evenin.. i find cars jam packed n no parking nywhr near bt luckily someones early enuf to be leaving his space for me..After alot of honking n swearing i gt my luxurious car in it..From there starts a battle for finding the cheapest yet the highest quality veggies..So i venture alongwid my friend cum housekeeper who helps me differentiate between the methiss n the palakss..The first few moments i spend there r jus aimlessly wandering about.. finding prices n nt buying.. jus to let the sellers knw dat - i m a regular here buddy dnt try to fool me..!!But they r more regular than me..so they alwz exaggerate the price according to the person asking for it..n i try overhearing prices so dat i knw wat they actually are b4 jumping in to buy some..
so i go over to the tamatar wala n ask the price of the tomatoes in a way as if it was my family that started growing these shiny red overtly expensive(nowadays) veggies..hearing the price i make the - oh so expensive face- n move on...even though i buy them at the same price from anodr guy later..Then i find the leafy vegetables wala..n quietly pikup a bundle of...ahem...umm..well..this is methi rgt?? i ask my partner secretly n upon his confirmatn proudly ask hw much is this methi for..n buy half a kilo for watevr price..All this time while ur buying stuff.. there are all kinds n varieties of insects who love to play in ur hair or evn in ur shirt..dey are pbbly the only non discriminating species who bother evyrone alike..n u have to reach down ur shirt trying to get rid of dem when the nearby lady gives u the dirrttyy luk n turns away..Later after hassling ppl over reducing the prices of diff vegetables n having brought most of em..i realise its been over half an hour..So i quickly recount the stuff n chk if nythngs left thereaftr i ask my partner to wait in the car wid the big bag full of polybags which by d way i m totally against..so dat i go n get some healthy fruits..
Buying the fruits is the part i like to do..theres less variety n its easy to buy n ppl dnt fool u much with fruits..So i buy some bananas n apples..n to my surprise i even saw pineapples which arent a common sight here..so i try some before buying it..then the pineapple guy takes nodr quarter hour to carefully peel n then cut it into nice tasty luking pieces..finally i frantically search for the car..which i 4gt aftr all the running around bt evn aftr finally entering my car i have to make my way n swim thru the latecomers while listnin to - the road to nowhere..!!
