Perception!


Krithi and Shwetha, very close cousins, are doing their usual catchup at the end of their week.

Krithi: “Hello Shweth! How was your week?”

Shwetha : “Long and no time to breath re. But then since I want to wind up by next week to come there, am not complaining. You tell me how are things there? Vacations started for Ritu right? Went out?”

Krithi : “Nah! Nothing new from my end. Same old stuffs. Ya her vacations started but Ritu has a lot of homework so finishing that fast before her favorite aunt comes home. So we hardly get time to go out. “

Shwetha – “haha, super! Ya ask her to keep whole time free for me! Ok tell what’s the latest gossip at your apartment that I should be looking at when I come there? :D. “

Krithi: “Oh yes, listen! I told you right? Mr Mukherjee and his wife had moved out. Someone new has arrived. OMG! She is full of attitude. You remember how sweet Mrs Mukherjee used to be. I used to leave Ritu with them when I go to market.

This new girl seems like a model or actor or someone from those kind of industry. She hardly talks to anyone here. Mrs Sharma tried to strike a conversation with her but she bluntly snubbed her with a one word reply. Baap re! How rude! She has tattoos and pierced so many studs. Can you believe? And her dresses. Don't even get there. She wears such revealing clothes. I don't understand how girls can wear such skimpy clothes and walk around like it is swimming pool everywhere.

I'm trying my best to keep Ritu away from her. I don't want Ritu to get influenced by such girls. Won't the parents or siblings of these girls tell anything? Had I been her sister I would have given her nice and tight. All guys ‘in this apartment are now swarming near her house to get a glimpse of her. Aur Kya! Free show for them *giggles* She has no timings. Comes and leaves as she pleases.

It's just a week and I hear so many friends chatter and laugh in her place most of the time.. It's like she is always having a party. *whispers* I'm sure she drinks. I'm very worried already with Ritu in the house. I'm asking Shiv to talk the association people about this but he is hesitating. Sigh! Whatever said and done, I'm definitely going to keep distance from her.. Also would never let Ritu interact with her. You will see all these yourself when you come here next week!”

Krithi : “haha breathe breathe. She sounds like a total bitch! Cool, I will come and see all the drama myself! See you next week!!”

Next Week

Shwetha is hanging out with Krithi in the apartment pool and already tired of the multiple people coming out and trying to talk to her. Guys were brazenly checking her out which she hated. She hated socializing especially where all these neighbors were nosy and only wanted to know, why she hadn’t gotten married yet like Krithi! Did she have a boyfriend? And did she go and party daily because she wore sleeveless tops and shorts. She was wondering how she could escape all that when Krithi nudged her.

Krithi: “hey, look there, The new madam is coming this side. Notice how she will look around as if we are mere mortals and walk off. “

Shwetha turned around, to look at the “madam”. The new girl looked around and sensing the kind of people around, just walked off. For a second their eyes met and Krithi could sense the same tiredness of socializing that she had.

Krithi – “Did you see? Such a bitch. What’s her problem, she cannot even talk to us here. “

Shwetha looked back at the retreating girl envying her and shook her head murmuring, “definitely, not a bitch”.

Twins!!

This is one of the most standard conversations that I’ve had with a new person (NP). Soundarya – Hi, I am Soundarya. NP – Hi. I am so-so. Soundarya – How are you? NP – Am good. You? What do you do? …. …. NP – You’ve Siblings? Soundarya – Yes, 2 Brothers. NP – Elder? Soundarya – 1 elder and another Twin. NP –Whaaaaaaaaaatttttttttt??? :o Soundarya – Yeah. I’ve a twin brother. NP – Do you look alike? Who’s elder? What’s he doing? How come he’s far away? I heard twins have same kind of feelings and that they are very close and inseparable.Do you both like same kind of food? Do you both wear same color clothes?and the list of questions goes on and on..… Well I have sort of condensed this conversation. It always amuses me to see the reaction the new person always gives when he/she comes to know that I am a twin. And the kind of questions they ask is dubious. Each time As I answer them and tell them we are just like any other brother-sister, the d...

The First Few Days In Cognizant

So Finally I joined Cognizant!! *Cheers* *Claps* *Laughs* Thank You, Thank You!!! :) I know for long time that I’ve been telling people that I’ll be joining Cognizant, but then I myself didn’t have any clue as to when! And now two weeks have passed. So how has been my time there?? Well …Really good… Lots of things have been happening. First and foremost is my laziness vanishing!! One year of vettiness(joblessness) has made me more than ever lazy(more lazy than I was before: :P). So now I have a nice schedule which keeps me busy! Secondly I have been meeting new people. I’ve to say that all the people in my batch are really friendly and nice. All of us are students of 2008 passed out batches but then seem like still college student! So we all are experiencing this transformation of college to corporate environment. Well cognizant campus itself is pretty good. Have been to two places and liked it. The environment and atmosphere and the p...

In the End, We all are same

W ho am I? Who are you? Who are the people surrounding us? When I say people, I mean parents, relatives, friends, crowd in the bus you travel, or the shopkeeper from whom you buy your dresses, or the maid who comes to your house etc. This is not a philosophical question or anything to do with philosophy. Of late, this question has been in my mind after observing a few things. Oh yes, I’ve been so jobless that I actually have started observing things ;) We all are so engrossed in our work, personal commitments, social life etc that we tend to overlook simple things in life. The purpose of life!! The other day, I was talking to my brother in Skype and my grandfather came. When he saw my brother in computer screen, he became so happy. As he cannot hear properly he’s not able to converse with any one in phone and seeing my brother like this made him so happy. He, like a small kid, told every one who came to ou...
