My Thoughts Keyboarded

Go Green , Butteryfly park - Bali I wish you were here with me, in my cubical to watch the rain, through the windows. The heavy rain is accompanied by wind blowing it in all directions. It as if she is determined to reach every nook and corner for drenching it. Rain is special to each of us, because its life in action. It’s God herself, manifesting right in front of our eyes, feeding (us) her children. I brought a framed blue butterfly, like in the picture , FYI they are not killed for this Eating by the rice fields of Bali was so addicting, that we spent good two hours relaxing in the restaurant, and then walking around its neighborhood. Later we slept our way to Butterfly Park. Actually the driver decided to stop there because we had sometime to kill before the sunset watch in an iconic place. But it turned out to be very interesting. The baby butterflies inside the shelter We walked around the park, which had so many differen...

Our company has announced that there won’t be a increment this year. We had 5% salary cut last year and this year’s no increment deal is keeping our salary lower than it used to be 2 years back. You may think I am cribbing about the job I have when people lose jobs. That's the ideal way of looking at it but, the situation here is different. On the Ubud Palace wall, Bali For the last two years the company made profits quarter after quarter, management have cut costs in everything and even brought another big company, double the size of our employees.

I just found out that I can use my blog to copy an “error code and URL “from my test computers to my main computer within seconds. Something to cheer on a Monday ;) We have in total three prizes for our story contest , one for the winner and two consolations due to high recommendation from would-be and suggestions from some of you. My honey (doesn’t know any of you) liked everyones story and took much time to come up with decision. First consolation prize goes to Rachana Shakyawar from humming today . The reason I was told for choosing this is “creatively woven using all ten pictures” Second consolation prize goes to Savitha from A traveller one among the few . The reason I was told was “The story sees death not as an ending but part of the journey” Rachana and Savi, I am still in the process of finishing your prizes. Because the paintings are personalized I started my work only last night, after the winners were picked. So bear with me a day or two and I would publish it. ...

TGIF! Thanks a lot for pitching in your stories. I am overwhelmed by your response.

Today there is an IT exhibition happening, sponsored and conducted by management of the client I am working for. There are many stalls, where we could win gifts and numerous prizes through lucky draw. Not sure they are ediable but they defn look christmasy, Berries by roadside , Koln Germany As usual I did not win anything. while friends have grabbed bag full of goodies (even IPod, hard disks and play stations) and all I manage to get was a table top calendar,and a pen that doesn’t even write! Nightingale fountain, Koln I feel like a boy who did not receive gifts from Santa, wondering whether I was not good enough to deserve one. Casinos, lotteries and even “one dollar soft toy pick” machines are adamant to make ...
