The day I give you my name...

Just a passing short poem...

The day I give you my name
Things might not remain the same
It will change the rules of the game
And for that my dear, no one is to blame.

I will be more responsible, more caring
I will be protective, more daring
For the courage that in me you bring
Will make sure that I always honor that ring

The life will be such, such will be the trend
That I always earn more that you spend
You will know me more, better and new
In this journey that together we continue

People who will bear the brunt of this
Will be friends of mine, who I will surely miss
But they will I'm sure, understand
That more than friendship, its you that I cherish...

In all these years , a thing I've learned
Give more respect to earn some more
My love for you will always rise
To that I hope there is no price.. :-P

There are some things however that I do expect
For me, my parents the love, the respect
I will ensure that you have the time of your life
When you some day in future you become my wife....

Although this entire poem is kinda lame...
But the day when I give you my name
Things just won't be the same...

Report kaad...

The following is an excerpt from actual mail conversation between 2 colleagues. All characters mentioned in the mail are absolutely real and have stark similarities to some people somewhere...


Dear Anshumaan,

The day is almost gone,
Last month’s production is what I need,
And subsidiaries of mine pay me no heed,
Someone told that there is MD report,
That is fun to read and a cause they support..
Magadi, GCIP and India reports are a bliss
BMGL MD report is what I miss…
The months in question are November, December and Jan…
Pls give me those reports Mr.Anshumaan… :)

PS: Get me included in the mailing list next time you get the BMGL MD report.

Regards,

G

In these 2 years...

It will be almost two years since I left the world of education and took the first steps towards the corporate life. Every manager does dream of such a life after completing their B-School education. In the job like mine, I cannot truly claim that there has been an expectation mismatch too. I like my work and I like the people around me...
However there is a void of some kind, which reminds me again and again that I am not here for the purpose I am fulfilling these days. I seriously don't know what I am going to do in the future. Its too blurred to become a reality some day. Hence I am taking it one day at a time. So I can even claim that I am living in "Today" if one wants to put it in decent words.
Its definitely not the money that is causing this void. Money is a by-product they say, and seriously speaking, I care the least about it now. I keep on doing different things these days right from participating in a Marathon to crazy late night drives to just watching drama to random cruises off Mumbai to giving endless gyaan sessions to people to just reading anything on the Internet, just to find that right fit, the right fit of what I want to do. Some cues I have, but nothing concrete as of now.
I am neither happy, nor am I sad with the things happening around me. I am just emotionless towards all worldly actions. Reason for same is not very clear. Somehow I don't want to react to anything. Everything is acceptable. This is lethal,crazy some may call it, but its true and I have no good reason to not accept it. This constancy in life is getting to me.
Some friends suggest that marriage is an answer. Believe me its not a quarter lif crisis.But they should realize that marriage brings nothing but another constant in life, which is not what I want.
I want something different, that I haven't been able to find till now. I want to break this cycle of "The usual". I don't want the usual hangouts, the usual work, the usual jokes, the usual gossip, the usual dinners, the usual talk or the usual life which is as of date.
Normalcy too soon is not what I desire. After knowing many people over the last 2 years, finally I want to know myself. I want spend time with myself. I want to see my actions through my eyes. I don't want to be emotionless anymore and neither do I want to learn from other people's experiences. I want an experience of my own, something unique, something strange, something that means nothing to others...
I hope I find it soon... :-)
