Release Racket
Scene 1:
She knows that she has to spare half an hour more for getting dressed up traditionally, if she decides to dress up. It was decided by colleague friends. There was a Diwali lunch arranged by non-cafeteria people (Thank God!!)
Midnight phone call from overseas for an hour and half, she doesn't want to wake up at 7 today, and also previous day swimming- another excuse to sleep longer. Waking up at 8 means, 9:30 at work! 9:30 is too late for the release today, but what the hell!
Scene 2:
Everyone is hovering over via all possible communication avenues, what is happening, what is left to be done, how much testing is done, what labels have been tested etc. She finds testing a mindless job! She kind of felt proud in passing the testing job to subordinates, it's their learning, and three's a company too! on the D-Day 3's a company finds out that the latest labels highly needed to be tested have some critical changes! This needs to be dug down, a laborious job, but has to be done! Someone wants her to close inspections for prev day release, someone wahts her to look at the change requests, in the middle of the her release racket! And the documentation work is still pending! and guess what, everyone else started at 11, for the Diwali lunch!
Scene 3:
Hurriedly she arrives, handling high heal pumps and a long walk(!!), a small car ride with her colleague and even longer walk(!!!!). A rare scene was in act- chit-chatting, casually mingling with work people! The work here has no space for casual casualities here when you join a group well known to be the busiest in the company. Being a center of attention is a piece of cake for her! The FOBs in the company were on a roll.
N: btw, it is A's birthday today!
Everyone: "Happy Birthday", "wish you Happiest Birthday"... Hap. B'day... B'day..
A: "Thank you".. "Thank you...".. "TY.."
N to everyone: " Did you know, he was born on the day Ravan was killed?"
Everyone: "Oh Really? That is Dussera!"
Everyone: "Hmmm, Diwali is the day Ram had entered Ayodhya, and Dussera is the day Ram had killed Ravan!"
N to A: "Don't worry A..., actually, you are making very good progress every year, your b'day's almost there, just a day before Diwali this time!"
N: "Good Job A...!"
Everyone had a good laugh.
"Say Cheese" here and there.
Scene 4:
She had to rush back for the royal finale! Prepare FAQs, a user manual, coordinate subordinates and resolve any issues they are having while testing.
AND, IT WAS OVER, FINALLY! And she, who likes to plan things ahead, had not even thougth what she'd do on friday evening! A friday date with self had been very relaxing, get unwound, have dinner, wish Diwali overseas, watch movie, and dream about the unusual Diwali celebration next day - Hiking, witnessing nature's the most beautiful colorful incarnation! I will cover this next episode of be-with-nature trip in my little sequel later:)

The Fifth Mountain:
These are my favorites what Paulo has put in words in this book:
"everything will happen as was written by the lord." replied the prophet.
'there are moments in when tribulations occur in our lives, and we cannot avoid them. but they are there for some reason."
"what reason?"
"that is a question we cannot answer before, or even during, the trials. only when we have overcome them do we understand why they were there."
"i am afraid," the boy said insistently.
"that proves that you find joy in living. it's normal to feel fear at certain moments."
"why does he who made the world prefer to use tragedy to write the book of fate?"
"thou knowest not whereof thou speakest," the angel replied. "there is no tragedy, only the unavoidable. everything hath its reason for being: thou needest only distinguish what is temporary from what is lasting."
"what is temporary?" asked Elijah.
"The Unavoidable."
"and what is lasting?"
"The Lessons of the Unavoidable."
"Fear exists until the moment when the unavoidable happens," he told Elijah. "After that, we must waste none of our energy on it."
"If you have a past that dissatisfies you, forget it now," he went on. "Imagine a new story of your life, and believe in it. Concentrate only on those moments in which you achieved what you desired, and this strength will help you to accomplish what you want."

I DID IT!!!
I did tandem sky diving on Saunday!!
it was AMAZING!!
One mile of free fall in the air at the speed of 120 mph !!!
It was just AWSOME, I'm gonna do it again..
I was not nervous or feared at all, just the first moment when the instructor opened cessna's door and asked me to peak out without holding anything, I overcame my resistance, and then I was all ready to fall :)
Have video taken, just have to figure out how to capture pics out of it..
will post pictures after I figure it out :)
