Excitement - Day!!:D

...

Finally...A day when the super-excited cherub in me, somehow showed up (surprisingly)..for the first time @aapice:P:D...


The Laddoo story:

My day had a 'shubh aarambh' (ditto translation: lucky start), when a cab mate of mine offered me a laddoo (a prasadam for Mahashivrathri!), early in the morning.:) [Receiving a prasadam of Lord Shiva, itself was enough to make me smile for the rest of the day!]. He'd got it from his native village, and it was home made (n that made it even more special)..

When I tried breaking the laddoo for distributing it, I discovered that it was as hard as a rock :-/ .. tried applying my strength on it but it was too hard for me to break. Gave a male colleague, to try his hands at it. No luck!!

Fun began with the 'who-breaks-the-laddoo' challenge on the floor:D! A guy from the other team (towards the right of my cubicle) tried, gave up at the first attempt. Another one gave up by simply looking at the first guy losing it all!:D. Now the challenge was thrown on the team towards the left of my cubicle (the team consisting of all big bhaiyyas). Nix bhai volunteered to break it...After 3 attempts,  he managed to soften the laddoo a bit, but could not smash it:D:P..n now felt too weak to attempt on it anymore..Gave up..and gave it to his colleague who was sitting right opposite to him (cz i prompted him to do so..just for fun:P)...Finally...the laddoo get smashed into pieces..and the winner is. '.....'...(i dunno the name of the bhaiyya who broke the laddoo:):)..but thanks to him:P).Felt happy to see the the laddoo getting distributed to almost 20-25 people (including the guys who attempted breaking it, as well as the winning team). Finally, I saw an old  '16-nincompoops-sharing-half-a-laddoo' kind of a day repeating (after a looong time)..in my second company:):)..the laddoo-breaking challenge and the hullabaloo of watching people making attempts one by one, and then then the distribution..made monday look lively on the floor..!!

After that bit of fun...everyone got back to work....

The LapTop Story:


The floor again got calm, silent (of course, with a bit of energy), and everyone got busy with their tasks. "Hi"...wished my Tl..who had just arrived, and then continued to do my work. It was again mum..a typical 'office' scenario. with everyone busy into their respective system monitors. all calm and quiet.

"Surprise...", comes a voice from my right; and I see a brand new laptop at my desk, and TL standing next to me waiting to see my reaction!! [I have been pestering my boss to get me a laptop, and expected to get it by the end of the month]. And getting it so early, plus a brand new one - was sufficient to again open up the fountain of excitement in me!!And the next half an hour made our cubicle the noisiest on the floor, with  me laughing out loud trying to contain my joy, and the rest having fun looking at me that excited! The josh got me sso out-of-my-mind, that when my boss asked  me to mail the system serial number to her, I send her a mail like this,

*****

"Hi Boss,

Per your request, the serial number of my laptop is _____ [and i gloriously type the system 'model number'  instead of the 'serial number']

Regards,
[signature]

*****
...that made the atmosphere in my cubicle more energetic and exciting..with all of us rofl'ing at my mail.!!:D:D..yeah...the mail which i'd  just sent, looked more like me boasting at my  boss 'look! I got a better laptop than you!':D:$..of course, the mail contained no relevant info..everyone had known the model number of my laptop by then:D..

..the excitement did not go down, and i kept constantly smiling looking at my new laptop in the afternoon, till lunch..till almost the end...


The Pending chocolates:


Was still basking in the state of super-excitedness that I was in, perhaps for the first time in my new office!..It was 20 more minutes to go, before my log-out time. 'Yaaron..jee bhar k jee le pal, lagta hai aaj kal..daur apna aayega' , rang my phone.

'chollu pa' -in my palakkadu accent.

'romba busy oo? come to the food world fast', it was Veeru, another friend from the 'laddoo-breaking-winner-team'. I had won a challenge against him (for the India-England match), and 2 chocolates were pending:D.

[have been pestering this guy for the chocolates since the match, and this guy gets only 'this day' to get me the chocolates!] A day when i am already so hyper!!....with the few minutes that i got before log out, i summarized the entire day's story to him (without bothering if he was listening or not:D:D)..

..and then after logging out, while walking on the way towards the exit; I see bade bhaiyya's face (whose presence on the floor always makes me feel good)...

Hoo...my team has now got a story to narrate, to the evening shift guys...B-)

........*****.......

....With a rock-solid laddoo, 2 silk chocolates and a brand new lappy - all packed in one day...i feeeel like the queeeen of the werld......


.....excitement ka tadka itna lag gaya, k i am still smiling.. thinking about today's day at office.::):):):):) it was a day of its kind..March 7th, 2011! - The 'Excitement Day' - a day long awaited for a long time.specially in my life, otherwise filled with 'nothingness' since few months!.insha allah, the same mood persists on the floor...atleast, for as long as I am here...

"bachpana karo, chalta hai.." B-)

Cheers,
