Secret Santa

Santa Claus, the legendary patron saint of children; an imaginary being who is thought to bring presents to children at Christmas. I had never ever met him before or had even received gifts on Christmas, coz my parents say I am a Hindu.

Last week in my office they had arranges a game called as Secret Santa. In this game everyone is a Santa for someone else.

In the starting I had no interest in playing the game. But on day one for my surprise, I had received a letter from my Santa, that moment I had the joy of my life. Then I decided to play it, coz I was a secret Santa for another person. I sent him secret mails and then gave him a gift on Friday. He was really happy. I never expected any gifts from my Santa.

On Friday I returned back from lunch. I was amazed to see gifts at my chair. Everyone got normal gifts, but mine was a very special one. There was a gift and a hug packet of chips. Many got chocolates but me chips. I showed everyone the gift with full of joy, coz I love to be different and my Santa knew exactly what to do to make me look different. I have become a bit known in my floor now, all thanks to my Santa.

At the end of the day the secret was revealed. My secret Santa was Shanmuga. I was really happy and had already guessed that my secret Santa knew me very well. 'Thanks a lot Shanm, coz you made my day'.

Well my secret Santa did not get his gift, instead he lost his mug... ;)

One shouldn't...

Image
 (Part - 1) One shouldn't get up before the sunrise. One shouldn't take bath in a hurry thinking about missing the office shuttle. One shouldn't hog up breakfast just for the sake of eating. One shouldn't arrive at office when the maids are cleaning. One shouldn't work like a ass every single minute of the work-day. One shouldn't have lunch all alone and run back to the cubicle.     One shouldn't wait for the clock to strike 5, to get out of a cage (I mean cubicle). One shouldn't travel for more than two hours, just to reach home. One shouldn't have all evening spent in a bus full of idiots. One shouldn't worry about work even after reaching home. One shouldn't just always eat the perfect diet meals, watching lame TV shows. One shouldn't go to bed always thinking about the next day. (Part - 2) One shouldn't wait for a weekend to have something called fun.   One shouldn't always travel to only two places in...

Journey Back Home 1

14th Aug 2008, I left my office at 8:30:10 PM. It was raining heavily, and heard that there was very very heavy traffic jam on the way. So I thought that it would take at least 2:30 hrs to reach home. So did my normal jobs which I do everyday in the bus. At 10:11:25 PM the bus crossed corporation, towards majestic. Well, that's where every thing stopped. The traffic was so much that the bus just moved 10-15 mtrs in some 1 hr. Now I came to know that my friend was also in the same bus. And due to this traffic jam, I made some new friends in the bus. AT 11:22:50 PM; me, my friend and other new friends decide to step out of the bus and walk till we find some clear road and then get an auto and head home. We were out of the bus and started walking, but on the way we came to know that there was traffic jam even for walking! It was really bad walking (jumping around) on the stagnant water on the road sides. The footpaths were crowded with people and autos. After we walked a bit, for our ...

An Oath!!!

The definition of oath is "A solemn, formal declaration or promise to fulfill a pledge, often calling on God, a god, or a sacred object as witness". Oath must be taken by a person who has self control and good determination, so that it can be fulfilled. I have no self control or good determination, but still I took this oath yesterday 13-Feb-2009. Every time some one sees me coding or feels my coding skills, the first question that I have been asked is " Are you a Comp Sc. student? ". My answer would always be " No, I am an Electrical student. ", they would be astonished to hear it. This whole concept drives me crazy. So on 13-Feb-2009 when I had a bit of spare time to think, these thoughts came into my mind. This was like a spark which made me take this oath. Now as all of you readers as my witness, I take this oath " I will prove to this world that I am no less than a Comp Sc. student ". By fulfilling my pledge, I will prove that any non Comp S...
