Being on bench

From my engg days i heard about BENCH concept in IT firms.... one of my friend used to think that bench people are get different treatment...they are actully made to seat on BENCH without computer.... as if waiting line .... Then we knew that it's not so.... you get cubical...you get a Desk, your desktop....internet....Phone....and most importantly your salary is also same.... .everything is there.....only thing missing is work.....
When I knew about this i was like WOW..... then I came to know people who crib about Bench and I used to feel how stupid they are..... why can't they enjoy life....I was like hope i get bench in my job....but to my luck or unluck....from first day after training i was placed in Project....rather they were waiting for me to come out of training.... And then onwards.... I was billing to same client....getting something or other in project....got a chance to attend different trainings but not a single day with BENCH.... There were lows and High's ... But even in low...there were many things lined up.... and we knew that we have to do it today or tomorrow......
In high peak of project I used to feel why I can't be on Bench for some time... I need a break... i will do many useful things... I will have fun... Will read forward mails...will write blogs...and what not...just give me a break...
And today here I am....this is my 3rd day on bench.... and trust me it is very boring...you login to gmail...see there is only two mails....one is some ad and other one friend request on Hi5 or similar like that....No need of checking your Outbox....Login to Orkut....No scraps for you...ok for change change profile picture...done...now what...see if any upcoming bdays...ohhh yes there is one...drop a scrap... Now what.... In my company we don't have to report anyone ...when we are on bench,...There is something called Firm activity....doing other things for firm than proj...Checked with few people if I can participate in any... I got one hr activity to do ...You won't believe How happy I was.... being in Mumbai.... Away from Family...can't do much except sleeping by coming late or going early to flat....
So I am exploring all different thing one can do.... this is one of the attempt for same.... :)
Thanks for your time.....

Wedding bells

Hey there,

Since childhood i used to wonder how will i feel when i will get married to some one.....when i will know that this is person i am going to spend my rest of life with....he is one i was waiting till now...but you know now after knowing all that also I don't know how it feels... seriously...when i started to write blog on how it feels , i am not able to go further than it is mixed feeling. It is excitement as well as anxiousness..... specially in arrange marriages.

I feel that is all about acceptance, I wonder on this magic of arrange marriage.... You don't know a person...you meet him for some time...may be an hour or two ( In my case i got 2 ) and then you have to make decision if you want to spend your entire life with him....once you take this decision ...life becomes really easy... you don't have to judge that person any more neither see any negative qualities....all that you can see is your life partner.......Do we ever think why my mom or Dad is like this .... we can't find any bad qualities in our siblings....We just love our brothers and sisters because they are our bros and sis........ We never get a thought that my parents are not so good looking.........so this arrange marriage also is same........At least in my case it is like that...... Just an acceptance that matches are made in heaven.... and trusting that wonder makes you feel happy..........
For all those who are afraid of arrange marriage ( like I was ) .... don't worry.......... It works :)..........
