Happy Friendship Day-2

Happy Friendship Day!!!!!

Well!! A second part or rather a second post on same topic Friendship is always the best thing that can happen in your life.

This time I will tell about new bunch of friends who became my best buddies I ever had No, I have not forgotten my old buddies, its just that I want to thank them

Almost an year and half before, I came to stay as a PG(paying guest) at a house near my office. The very same day, a tall but timid girl almost at the age of my sister, Preethi, joined as PG and both of us were is same room. There were 3 in our room. The other roomie was old grumpy female. Preethi was homesick, volatile but innocent. I have always seen her has a kid as she is young(NOT that I am old). We teamed up against our other roomie and we became good close friends. She is innocent, loving, yet short tempered sometimes. I admire the way she loves her brother, Prasanth. Prashanth a lovable, caring and responsible brother. Love you Preethi for everything you do and especially the way you are.

In another room there were 2 girls, Hridya and Preeja. Both warned us about our other roomie. And me and preethi always went to their room. Ate with them, went out with them, watched movies together, went to temples together. I never knew when I became close to Hridya and Preeja.

Me and Preeja used to talk for hours and hours.  She looks like a introvert to most, but she is not. She is a girl who cares and loves people near to her extravagantly. A person with heart of gold. Her respect towards her parents is admirable. I respect her for how she carefully sacrifices for the people whom she loves. An admirable person she is. Love you for that dear…

Hridya… A person who was deeply in love. She knows how to maintain each and every relations. A good planner, yet humorous, a kiddo sometimes, beautiful,  a person with immense determination. I love to go shopping with her.  She is everybody’s best friend. A good listener. Love you dear for all those little things you do to show that you care.

Me and preethi changed our room after fighting with our roomie. And one day, a girl came to our room, carrying her 2 big suitcases. She had only one thing to say “njan kalayanam kazhichu vegam povum”(I will get married soon and go from here). Archana. She passed on positive energy to each and every one who talked to her. She has  very good humor sense which we call pj(poor jokes). A person who loves everybody near her. Adorable. Loving and caring and hardworking. Love you honey for all you pjs and for what you are.

We five have shared everything together, did almost everything together. We have same wavelength and frequency. I never thought I would be close to anybody like this, but they showed me, girls are the bestest friends a girl can have. We discussed everything under the sun and beyond that. You make me smile each day.  I have had lifetime’s fun with you guys. Love you guys. You are the best… Ummmaaaahhhhh…

Happy friendship day to everyone who have a friend

An interview that nearly killed me!!!!

Now don’t think that I am desperately looking for a job change.. By chance I got an opportunity to attend an interview of an email giant. The company who started free email service. People who are into server side administration or much into internet must have guessed by now which company I am talking about. But let me call it y company. Another clue!!!

Lets us stick to the topic. I forwarded my resume to a friend of mine who works there. And they did call me. I was shocked that they called me. I first thought they would have rejected my resume. They fixed the first interview after a week. And emailed me the topics to study. I called up my friend and asked him what are the things to study and other details of the interview. It was like I have to study the whole linux in a week. Okay!!! now u can guess how much tension a girl like me would have had.

First day was fine, I made a timetable to study. Got the links, tutorials, books, notes… actually each and everything I can get hands on. More like if a URL had the word “linux” in it, I will book mark it. Ready… set…go…

Second day, I was overwhelmed by the amount of study materials. It was a whole lot of stuff. You won’t believe it, but my desktop literally was full of notes containing links, bed full of books and paper..  Okay, organizing time. Arranged everything. Prepared a syllabus and took a mental note of things to study. And my precious 2 days went by.

On third day, I started studying and realized that I am in middle of no where. Lot to study and no time left. I tried studying a few. And obviously I went deep into topics which are not much important. So there was very little I studied/

4th and 5th day went by so soon that I didn’t even know. I should mention my loss of apatite during this time. Adding to it, my stomach was upset (I think bcz I fed it too little? no idea). It meant I couldn’t sit in front of book much but was sitting somewhere else most of the time.

Now on the last day of the week I was tensed, upset, volatile and weak. Nothing much went into my head. Tired and weary I slept off.

The D-day. It was like death day… I was in the peak of tension. And they called me up. Can you believe, I said “Oh my God” in between the conversation with the interviewer. I still feel I messed the interview. He asked me a few questions, most of them I know, but couldn’t answer because I went blank. At the end, he asked me, “Do you have any questions?”. And I said no. He wouldn’t have expected such a dump answer, but he explained me the working and to which post they are conducting the interview etc.

At last he said he will call and hung up the phone leaving a question mark??????????

It was not a surprise that I got back my apatite and my stomach was fine, soon after the interview.

 

confessions of a shopoholic

No, not a movie this time yeah, the title is a movie’s name. I am talking about myself. Its my best friend’s marriage on November 29the 2010. I did 2 week long shopping for her wedding. Took a dress, matching accessories, casuals, gifts for her and more..

I didn’t even have plans to go for any shopping. I was planning to get just a gift for her. Then another friend of mine who is tying knots this January had some shopping. I just went with her to help her.

First we went to “Goodwill”, Cochin. Hridya had to get ear rings, bangles, jewellery stuffs. I, who had no plans to do any shopping, was just looking around. Then I saw it. Shiny little thing. A black stone surrounded with white stones. A cute little pendent. I loved the look of it. And I knew it will suit my new salwar which I will be wearing for Priayanka’s wedding. But I do have another chain which I can wear. I asked the sales man “how much does it cost?”
The price was higher than I expected. But still I got it.
Now my friend Hridya moved to hair accessories section. There I saw a matching hair clip. I added that too to my list. Then again a ear-ring. It didn’t end there. Got bangles, bracelets, anklet……
Hridya took me along with her to get cosmetics too. I know you won’t believe if I say I don’t use any cosmetics. But I got it for myself.
Well!! she had to get new pair of sandals for her marriage. As you have expected I got one for myself. I already had new sandals.
The next one was with another friend of mine Archana. She tried on a dress but it looked better on me. Guess what!!! It was in my shopping bag when we came out of that shop.
I had to get a gift for Priayanka. I got myself another dress while shopping for her
Now this is what I call shopolism.. I need to put an end to this. I am not gonna go for shopping for unnecessary things from now on.
