Toilet Papers are back

Welcome to the toilets of corporates with fresh toilet papers. Surprised????!!! If you are working for any of the MNC or tech company, Call center, BPO, you would catch my line. The first thing affected in the companies during recession-cost cutting are toilet papers. I still remember this article in TOI . I was surprised. Next morning when I checked in my office toilet, it was true. It was reduced. Before they used to keep one back up in every toilet. When I saw forget about backup, though it was finished it was not changed. Coming weeks I got an internal mail stating that its not the cost but its all about saving nature(it was about reducing the paper usage in office-including toilets). Come on!!!! Give me a break. Dimag ki batthi tabi jalnaa tha kya. What a soft way to tell that we are running out of money.

Anyways.. Now things are coming back on track. Last week I was surprised when I saw there were two toilet paper backups in every toilet. I was surprised again!!! trees grown up in last one year suddenly????!!! And now we can use more paper in toilet(lol). I guess trees will again disapear in next recession(lol again). So better we start jumping to other trees I mean other company and earn some bucks before next eclipse.

Elevators... Dont make it boring journey

I still remember how excited I was when I stepped into an elevator for the first time. I was 8. Simply me and my bro were using the lift to move from G to Top floor and vice-versa. Nearly 5 times we did it like that. It was in Mysore. That excitement was there in me till I was 13. But then I realized its nothing but a Car which travels vertically.

Now a days I travel more than 6 times in my office. And I hate it sometimes. Since its so boring. Since I work in top floor of the tower, I have to sendoff every one and invite too. When people occupy the lift, and when it starts moving, it seems like am in a funeral, complete silence. And people look funnier, because the mirror kind of surface inside, its a lil bent, and looks like a laughing mirror. Can see myself like a joker.

When we reach every floor, ppl waitin outside look like, they are waiting us to hunt down. And anger in their red faces(read my last blog) , it seems like they want to take it on us. Sometimes though it is full, they want to make some space n come inside. Swalpa adust madi(kindly adjust). If all are guys inside and a beautiful girl is ready at door, then automatically the space is created. If its fat big man, dark, curly hairs, then the space available will also be covered before he enters.

Elevator seems to be too interesting when a beautiful girl and a handsome boy is inside. That too from ground floor to top floor. And we feel like the elevator keeps going and going forever. And if it is a gang of guys and a single girl inside, we guys will keep signaling each other. Ankonh aankon mey ishara(How is she?Beautiful macha[Dude]).

So next time when u get into elevator, don't make it boring. See that you take the one where there is beautiful girl. ;)... keep smiling...

Anger in Red Faces....

The day after Holi, I could see a lot of Red faces in my office. I could see the anger behind those red faces. Reason.... Layoffs, Recessions, inflation bla bla.... every one knows this.... But when I saw these people that day, I could feel the anger. The eyes, the look.... And for some there was fear in their eyes about their jobs...

This time Holi dint bring real smiles in most of the people's faces. We may think its as usual. But No, this time It was quite different. Though there are a lot of laughter programmes in TV, most of the people have forgot to laugh form heart. The fear of bills, may be its of Credit card or a mobile, it makes them to keep thinking about their money. And if they get a news the employees being targeted for the loss in market, then the anger with fear will fill their face most of the times. No-where they will be comfortable. Neither in home, nor in office, nor with frens.

Yes its difficult. But we should try to find out the joy in small things, may be a kid playing bindas in its world. Lets not forget that there will be solutions for all the problems. Lets enjoy when there is opportunity. Lets not worry much about the problems. At the same time lets not completely forget them.

Keep smiling....

Fools will be always phools(Flowers)

We get fooled one or the other way daily. But there are some people who always get fooled. You may remember atul's character in Dilli-6. People try to fool these innocent people just for the fun of it. But if we give it a thought, these kind of "fools"  have a heart like that of a "Phool" (flower) which is beautiful. They do not know how to fool others and at times they may not be aware that they are being fooled.

Its not totally wrong to make fun of them, as long as they enjoy it too. But, at times, they may get hurt. At first they may try to isolate themselves. Or things can get worse and they may hurt themselves.
Especially Dyslexic children may go thru this. It is the parents' duty to see what their kid is going thru in his/her life. And for the grown ups, its better to confide in a close friend or in extreme cases, even consult a psychiatrist.
Lets not hurt anyone by making them and object of laughter. 

Dont forget "There is a LIMIT for everything".

Maintaining Money...

Every one is getting enough salary... But why most of us tell we are lil bit tight this month, I mean the dialogues, "Dude not this month, I need to pay my Credit Card", "Two months EMI pending, Cant we execute this plan after two months", "This month end salary, will surely go for tour to that place".

Some serious problem with maintaining our balance sheets. The economic crisis had already started effecting your balance sheets. Most of us try to fulfill the thirst to buy the stuffs which we used to dream when we were using papa's paise. So first 6 months after joining the first job, we will spend all the money in these.

By this time we will get a Credit Card, may be two or three. There is a proverb, maintaining credit card is not easy. Coz Banks will show the only positive side. Once you start paying you will do all the trail and errors, and bank will start getting the profits by our silly mistakes. So next six months you will spend time and money in understanding the Credit card problems. By this time, the banks will start tempting you to take the personal loans, otherwise you will be tempted to take a vehicle loan. Arey everyone come to office by car why not me Bhaad mey jaaye global warming. Let me survive attitude will creep inside you.

And If you are popular enough in your relatives and friends that you earn so and so much of money, you get calls from from a friend or relative who never bothered about you when you were not earning.

Lo Bhai... If this keeps going like this, when will you get time to save money. Govt knows all these, so they forcefully ask you to invest in mutual funds to save tax, at least let a small part of your money be safe for next two three years.

Lets learn to save money. So that the dialogues which I told in the beginning will be just for the sake to escape for the people who always ask you money.

Search for smile.. Before u break...

When we are depressed, low, angry on anyone we need something to look at which will make you to bring back the smile. It may be a flower, a kid, a poor man working hard for his daily bread(am not making fun, but I get a smile as I feel like god takes care of everyone). I used to search for all these around me when I used to go low.

But I never observed that I got a small toy with me which can make me smile. Recently I was too low and just took my bike key out of my pocket... and I just smiled. It was joker's small replica, which always smiles.

Friends... We need not to search for peace or relief some times. It will be with us always. Its upto us to identify and enjoy it. May be small or big, it will bring a smile on your face always.

Friends... start searching it now.... or else you will be completely broken.
