Transition

Came home to give a send off to Dad and Mom to the US of A...They plan to be with my sister & brother-in-law to welcome my little nephew …This requires a special mention because he will be the lone male in a house full of daughters & granddaughters…a much coveted position …even though my mother showers all her love to all her granddaughters equally...there would be something extra this time …wish I were there to see & analyze this particular phenomenon of a male charm in its raw form…and of course to spoil him thoroughly from my end too… There is something very special about being an aunt or Chithi (Tamil) meaning small mom – Mausi/Maasi (Hindi) Maa Jaisi meaning like mom …you get the privilege of observing the evolution of life right from the womb …feel the kicks of the tiny tyrant as if it were happening to yourself without the pain that goes with it…and the ultimate bliss of holding a small human being in your hands…and the wonderful protective feeling you develop for th

It was great coming to a spanking new office ... got to sit in the topmost floor... Really very spacious compared to the older office.... and very colourful (well not much of colour in the photo below) The earlier office was smaller..but more cosier with dim lighting (actually there was no lighting at our bay) ... there are some things that we will surely miss.. like the visits during the breaks to 'Omjee sweets' for that wonderful mouth watering 'Ghajar ka Halwa' :-( and the compulsory 'Pakode' that we used to bring back for the unfortunate folks slogging back in the office ....

But I guess I just have to be content with 'Chocolate chip muffins ' ( he he he .. ;-)) And hoping that the cobwebs of dirty politics , distrust & ego

Found Annie's Post & was disturbed by what she had written about her experiences of harassment from the opposite sex. Truly saddening that similar things have happened to most of the people (even guys) who have commented on her post ...

Today my all time colleague & best friend of 3 years (exact to the date) left for her home town leaving the company both of us joined together...It hasn't registered yet that she will not be back after a week (as it seems to be right now) .. Her bed is still the way it used to be (maybe a bit neater now ;-) ) ... She was a rock solid presence & will continue to be the same in my life ... I cannot write more because it seems a bit unfair to fit whatever has happened between us & what we mean to each other in this one post ... and maybe I will never be able to do it owing to the tears that never seem to stop ( do not worry pulu... But true to what you said I could not resist this chance of putting up this post .. wink .. wink) Signing off Sundari
