The irony of client visit

Yesterday : The team was abuzz and running around busy and serious , making preparations for the client visit tomorrow . Right from setting up sign boards & posters to cleaning up our desks , almost everyone was busy doing something . Around 7 p.m , a new mail notification with a critical symbol , started blinking at us from our monitors . It was from our project manager , asking us to come by 9 am tomorrow ( which is almost an hour earlier than our usual time ) , well - groomed . Today : Today we all gathered in the office by around 8 - which is actually the in-time for the first bus , the next one is only at 10 , so we could afford to miss the first one . After breakfast and some usual chit-chat to ward off the sleep still clinging on to our eyes , we started our work and simultaneously awaiting the client visit to our workplace . The clock was ticking and there was no sign any whites , even after lunch . Anxious and irritated we sat still waiting wondering , " Even

The Temptation and the new friend

  Temptation is  quite a hard thing to resist . It was right there in front of my eyes , settled beautifully under a tree . In the only place , that could offer a cold breeze among the others where sun reigns and takes fun in making us sweat and run towards shade , it stays , adding an eerie feel to the spot . I wanted to go and touch it , may be play with it , but was worried about what people might think or say . It is certainly not the thing a grown-up like me would do . So with all my might , I tried to push the thought to the back of my head . It was hard , to try not to do something that you desperately wanted to do and that too , everyday - Blimey !!! Its hard . But today , I couldn't . I decided that I shall do it today , strolled towards it slowing looking around making note of what all is happening around me , and if there would be any potential stalkers or if anyone would actually be interested in what I'm gonna do .  The spot is at the left corner of a west-fac

The Amazing Mr.Holmes

Dear me !! This modern Mr.Holmes is just fascinating . I have always been a fan of the crime and mystery solving lot . But this one, is way beyond everything . I took a special interest in TV series when all the Jick , Jack and Jones of my college talked about FRIENDS , non-stop . Their long talks about the series drove me nuts and yes i wanted to bring something against it . After a humongous  task of reading the reviews and finding the download links , i chose to start Fringe . I was sure it had the juice and yes it did . And very soon , I created a fringe sensation in my college . Ya ! You could say im proud of it , heads high - if you would prefer to call it that way . After meeting the notorious Mr.Castle and the splendid Mentalist - Mr.Jane and his friend Red John (very interesting chap ), i had the opportunity to meet Mr.Holmes . I was initially alarmed of the duration , which is 1.30 for an episode , but it seriously is worth it . Ok . This Sherlock initially loo

When it all ends

  Blood splashed over his face as his sword sliced a head off its body . Breathing heavily and gasping for air , he felt like he was on flames . His magnificent strength can take more lives . He was just getting started . Everything  around him was red . Rejoicing the end of one of his enemies , he marched forward with his sword held high . Many came running towards him , only to taste the essence of his blade . An arrow brushed past his hair . He turned back and threw his sword which landed on his skull . He went back and pulled his sword , leaving a big gash in his head , blood gushing out . He stood there , watching the light leave his eyes . He despised these spineless backstabbers . Circled by a group of archers , he stood there motionless . He looked around and his lips curled up to a big grin , on seeing the fear in their eyes and the sweat trickling down their heads . In just a flash , he split  his sword , revealing a double blade and he was waiting for them to make the firs

Times to Keep

  A sense of urgency suddenly flooded me , it usually does this time of the evening . I looked at my watch . It was 6.30 . "6.30 !!!???!! Already !! " , I gasped . I still had so much to do , so much to finish . But still  I can't hold my feet in the office after 7 , 7.10 maximum . So I rushed up , finished as much as I could and rushed out of my desk , texting  : " wru ? I'll be out in a min " . I was near the door , when I mobile beeped with the txt msg , " Im out . you come out soon . " When I opened the door , there he was - Siva , sitting on the stone bench smiling warmly as always  . After an apology for making him wait , we dashed down the subway to the parking area , which is the easiest access for all the buildings in the complex . "Gunda !!! Née overa vela seiyura da ippo .. Suthama seri illa " , complained shiva . This was an usual statement . After a blunt reply as always , our conversation moved on to other topics ,
