I was sleeping well yesterday night, until that pricky noise woke me up. And all that the noise, which incidentally was coming in from my head, just said... "Bast&&# you havnt blogged since eternity" and well It was right.

Ahh.. so just came online to shut up that voice, till it comes back next!

No cartoon today

There will be no cartoon today, and I guess for a few days to come.
Today is my last day in Bangalore, and in my present company. Today is the last day I'd be working as well, at least for 2 years. And today might be the last day I called myself being one from IT.
I sure am sad about it all, and hence no cartoon. In your own interest.
Amen

25...

2008-05-27T11:36:00.007+05:30

Yup, am 25. And no wonder this has been one of my best(est) birthday's ever! Well, by God's grace, the whole year has been wonderfully good, ManU winning the EPL, ManU winning the CL, and yeah, ok, I go through a pretty decent college for doing an MBA. And I was thinking, well, this Birthday can never be as exciting as the other things, and so I was waiting for the numerous calls that I was supposed to attend.
But then, a few of my friends conspired, and as the clock struck the change of day, well, I have a big bunch of roses (well they were 25 in number), a damn sexy cake, and few other treaties at the table.

However the problem here was that it was only upon counting the number of roses, that I did come to know that I was 25, all this while I was thinking I just turned 24. #@@#$

But whatever, this was a damn good Surprise! I wish I had more of those Lacrimal glands, for then I sure would have cried ;-)

List of people who SANG the whole BDay song for me
1) Pooja and Priyank - Thanks guys, you rock. @Priyank, am coming from your side in the marriage
2) Neha -You obviously are such a sweetheart ;-) Thanks
3) Soumya - Yaar.. now you sang it the best, without doubt. Thanks a ton
4) Mukta Didi - Thanks a ton didi, you rock (Did I hear, "Tell me something new"??)

12 AM, Sachin and Nishit (Neha was the conspirator!)

Office 1: Platform Team

Office 2: Altus Committee

Update 11:58:
Just back from Purple Haze. Went there with my roomies one of whom is the most handsome IT Engineer in India (Ashish) who blogs here and can be contacted here. Had an awesome time. The best was a song by Parikrama. Man, they just rock!
Ashish specially went there and convinced the DJ to play Stairway to Heaven by Led Zep, as a tribute to our friendship. Ashish, u just rock man. ;-)

Thank you guys.. It was the best ever Bday.. THE BEST!
Am feeling so sad of leaving Bangalore now, I swear I do!

Update 12:00
