It's new year...2007 and I dont feel too different..So what did I exactly party about?
Maybe the fact that finally the torturous never ending 2006 was finally over, and hope that the change in digit from 6 to 7 would actually bring something atleast resembling good luck..
Normally each year has ups and downs, but '06 was the only year where I went so downhill, that it is hilarious. A lot of stuff I'd rather not say(to keep the reader from comitting suicide) happened and in general I was waiting endlessly for December...
Well as things go, come december and I was finally hopeful that the saga of my endless accelerated drive down the slope was finally braking to a halt, when someone up there decided that No, she needs one more tiny reminder about her year being crappy...and on 30th december, when I was so close to stepping into a bright sunny year, someone flicked my beautiful newly replaced(the replaced thing is another story altogether) mobile phone....and I spent one entire harrowing day trying to get myself into the elite circle of mobile people again.
Well, whats the point of this post....nothing, except that though the incident is nothing compared to what's been going on in '06... it's significance is what matters....after all someone else had the Last Laugh....

December Blues..
I have started living life in slots of hours instead of by day and night. Which is pretty boring because all my days have merged into this one long day, and have no clue whether it is 8 am or 8pm...except for the fact that it is dark outside...which is a pretty primitive way to find out whether I should sleep or wake up.
The same with food...I feel hungy at unearthly hours, like 3 in the night(judged by the darkness levels I assume its night), and then I eat whatever I see first..again back to stone age I think..
Anyway, it is that time of the year when I miss my family the most..Christmas and New Year..and I already am deep down under the blues though it's still time.
Well,I miss Christmas not because I am waiting for a red nose on reindeers (I think he needs to get a car or a helicopter and go on a diet, but I'm digressing here) but because I miss all the glitter on the roads and the malls, and the amazing shopping we used to do ofcourse.
We normally celebrate New Year's with wine and a full blown feast, and the last I heard the bubbly has already arrived in a certain home at Parle.
In fact this has almost been a ritual and most of these years, after or during the feast my friend used to land up at my place, we would reminisce about life and cut cake in the terrace at the stroke of midnight under the breathtaking canopy of beautiful firecrackers.
Well, this is a depressing column that I've written and I know that the usual sarcasm is noticeably absent, but then restricting a girl from shopping in December is not a very nice thing to do is it?
'Tis the season for lights, trees and holiday cheer!!!

Stuck in my head
I love this song, and it suits my mood just right these days….
Time after Time
Lyin’ in my bed I hear the clock tick and I think of you
caught up in circles confusion is nothing new
flashbacks warm nights almost left behind
suitcase of memories time after
Sometimes you picture me I’m walkin’ too far ahead you're calling to me I can’t hear what you’ve said
Then you say go slow I fall behind the second hand unwinds
If you’re lost you can look and you will find me time after time If you fall I will catch you I’ll be waiting time after time
After my picture fades and darkness has turned to gray
watching through windows you're wondering if I’m ok
secrets stolen from deep inside the drum beats out of time
If you’re lost you can look and you will find me
time after time
If you fall I will catch you I’ll be waiting
time after time

Face Off
The war has begun....between me and Corp Fin.....and right now I'm definitely not on the winning side..
Today's paper felt like one of our Karate camps, a brave face and a sinking heart at the sight of the morning jog trail...
I have no knack for this,I mean I'm neither a CA nor gifted with the brains of Einstein(though I doubt he would have grasped it either). I've realised one thing that hard core techies at heart are not meant for understanding the vagaries of money. We see only two cash flows, either a green one if in IT or in pennies if in research.
So where's the incentive for us to discount anything at all? I have lived for most part of my life without calculating NPVs of companies I worked for, and I don't think I did real bad there, so why should I want to divide everything in sight with powers of some mean little discount number?
But then that's something I cant do much about, and I have to learn to live with Corp Fin,the brigt side being, its only two more weeks, and after 2 weeks I'm going to make double sure that I forget every darned thing about it, after all my peace of my mind is the only thing around here that deserves a huge NPV...
