Killing a Conversation

Modern day technology has so much to offer for people who want to stay connected. Not bound by time limit not by accessibility. Internet has brought upon a boom into the communication between people. Its pretty easy today to stay on communication with friends, family your near and dear ones. All this could only infer that there will be endless conversations for minutes, hours and much more. We all today do have such experience at least once when we are involved into long conversations and we enjoy having it without noticing time and duration of the chat conversation. The clock keeps ticking and so does the chat messages. We have been into these chats and texts so much today that we just keep on doing it all the time. So, the time you get to have a conversation has increased drastically but this does not increase the content we share. Gone are the days when you used to have quick conversations just to share what we meant to share. Today, its all whooshed out of the window, today conversations are more related to just a pass time. Conversations today majorly has only repetitive questions asking about what the day had in it for the participants and and peculiar term without, I am pretty confused which category the word should be put to? a question, an answer, an expression or what on earth is it? "hmm" that the culprit am talking about. It just amazes me when I look back at few of my own conversation and find almost all 20-30 appearances of this word in a chat of say 150-200 texts. It just drives me crazy. I don't really know why this word is being so popularly used by everyone in every situation, no matter what the question is. Damn man am I an alien or what? Is it that am the only one who hates this word on this earth? May be yes. In my perspective the culprit is a conversation "killer" at least as I see it. I feel that the person who uses this word is least interested to converse with you. It makes me feel like running behind a train leaving a station. Not a great illustration I suppose but I think I have put my mind into words understandable enough. This phrase is a great way to kill a conversation esp. when you are talking to me because there is no definite reply to this text. You think all around and manage to type the same text back in reply. I feel its stupid to keep sending texts to each other that too this word. Yuck, its horrible.

Happy 2nd first Day at HCL ;)

When I first came to know that I was doing to step into the boot of an employee very soon, I was preparing myself for a life completely different to what I was living. A new beginning from the end of student life, a life with financial freedom (although Dad never said “No” to my demands, but own earning is a different level of financial freedom) added responsibility of being an employee of an MNC. I was very certain of being relocated from Hyderabad. Had my bags up and ready for a journey to a new place with a new life style waiting to be discovered. As expected was called to Bangalore (now Bengaluru) and I set out planning a life in the traffic and all the rush of high class social and corporate living beings of IT Capital of India. Day 1: went on with never ending sequence of signatures. Day 2: a boring yet energetic half day.   Day 3: very excitedly I reached office and was having a nice time cracking jokes and making friends. As if somebody cursed the largest laughter in t...

Life as an Employee

Its been almost 2 years since I have been part of the group of "Employee" stepped from the sneakers of "Student". Seems like a long time ago since I have been part of this group. Life was much more spontaneous and fun filled with no state of complete awareness of plans after an hour in the day. Simply put, things have changed. For good or bad I am now accustomed to a routine of walking in and out of office with decreasing the fun by a bit everyday I do so. Times have been difficult to cope with, broke down a few times but as they say "Time heals all", I was able to get back in shape though each time a little lesser than before. All the high stake passions have settled into a well laid out blanket of dust all around my days now. I walk out each morning watching children play, I keep thinking when did I change into this office going routinely boring guy? Perhaps I was asleep when I was being pushed by life into this mold and just woke up to realize that its...

r0mance of rAin and hYderaBad

Its been raining since the last five days in Hyderabad like anything.Rains are often the most unexpected in Hyderabad even in season.Such is the unexpectedness of rain.Driving in rain with coldest of water droplets coming down from heaven touching your face and palms. You feel warmer inside and chilled out outside.Every droplet of water bring a fresh fragrance of nature's beauty. The best part of rain has always been the aroma of soil that gets stuck to your olfactory organs and you won't come out of it.Had a pretty ordinary day at college drove onto the streets with a heavy drizzle on and somehow after going halfway to home felt spending some time all alone with the refreshing nature and find some peace and that proved to be a very nice and memorable decision I made in some time recently. Went on to drive past the silent Hussain Sagar lake. The necklace road was so mesmerizing in the view that I couldn't just drive past it.I parked my vehicle and got down removed my shoes...
