My Work Place

The last one year has probably been the best of times for me. Lots of memorable moments which I will cherish for the rest of my life.. Well.. about me.. I am a 22 year old, simple female(atleast not too complicated, thats how my profile in orkut will look to you.) I have been working in a software company ever since I got out of college and I should say that life has been a bliss.. (so far:-)).. Though there is nothing so interesting about the kind of work in a software industry(atleast I dont find any), I have found some great people to work with, good money, some kind of an independance and beyond all this, the most important stuff--- Three great friends..

I used to have(and still have), two great friends from college, and when I got out of college, I thought that good times have come to an end, atleast as far as friendship is concerned. Cus, I was under an impression that at a work place you are supposed to behave quite professionally and you ought to keep a distance with your colleagues, cus in a work environment everybody is selfish and is bothered only about his or her ambitions, interests and recognition. But for me, things have been quite different.. So many good things have come my way--good name, recognition and on the lighter side, fun and money..

I have three great pals at my work place and I am sure they will stay with me through thick and thin.. Either it be break fast, lunch or tea(Thats the only free time you have in a software company unless you are on bench), we have it together and spend most of our time bitching about dumb collegues, irritating PMs or horrible work. When you have nice people around you, everything looks good. In case you have had a bad day at work and dont even wanna look back at how it was, and your friend calls and asks you'Enna machi, semma rodaa?".. and after you tell him or her how bad your day was, and they say"dont worry machi, freeya vidu", you seriously feel a lot better. Happiness in life is all about having such machis around and putting some mokkais(A mokkai technically speaking, means nothing more than a worst PJ!) and if you are lucky enough to have a few machis around you like me, life as a sofware engineer cant be that boring actually!

In the month of romance, with just a few more hours left for the V-Day, shopping malls across the world have been flooded with impressive cards and beautiful gifts. A V-Day is a very beautiful concept. A day which is dedicated for love, without which neither you nor I exist. Love is Life, Love is everything, Love is what makes life meaningful. But too bad that our lives have become so fast paced today that we actually need a day to remind us of the importance of love, which after water should be the elixir of life. Since it is for a good cause, the commercialisation of V-Day is also acceptable to a great extent. Cus, though love blossoms in the heart and bla bla, at times you have to be materialistic. Nothing wrong about it rite... As long as you are making somebody happy..
Whats gaining even more popularity these days , is the concept of anti valentine cards. I got a forwarded email from a friend last week and thats when i got to see an anti-valentine card. The card read " Loving you, has screwed up my life.." and there was another one which read "Roses are red,Bullets are lead,Take me back now or get shot in the head". It was very funny to see a forward like that..But jokes apart, I wonder where the world is heading to.. Somebody out there has real outaa box thinking. But should we commercialise such a concept? Looks like people have started to find a business opportunity in every simple thing that we value and respect. But have we become so heartless that we have started commercialising and strategising our thoughts that might hurt somebody somewhere, who probably does not deserve this kinda treatment?.. At this rate, two generations from now, we would be celebrating an anti valentines day.. Why are we so money minded? The world has become a mad man's place, it has gone crazy.. No place for feelings or emotions, jus money, more money, more and more money...
