The SHUTTLE....

I had never thought that this time when I will be back to Mum the word 'shuttle' is where my whole life will revolve. Although I have alwaz loved travelling, meeting new peole ,observing them is fun. The leobond starts her day with a shuttle ride to her office. Everyday my shuttle passes from all offices in Cap but the best part veryday the view is very new for me. I reach a bit early and wait for my shuttle to arrive at 11.15 a.m. Till it arrives I watch people passing by-some are in a hurry, some wiping the sweat and most of them over the fone...As soon as the shuttle arrives, the Leobond takes the first seat..open the book she is reading current till the shuttle starts..As soon as the shuttle starts, the little breeze wipes the sweat on your face and makes you feel relaxed and lazy. It fun to see the outside world sitting in a shuttle where everyone is running after something...The shuttle enters the Godrej complex and people start pouring in and so the seats start getting occupied. I usually see people putting on their head fones and listening to music.The question which really troubles me is: Is the journey so long?...You know that the person sitting beside you works for the same company as you do but we tend to behave like strangers...The best part is that even I have started behaving like this But today I broke my silence. The girl who sat beside me today works on the same floor as I do and she comes in the same shuttle in which I came and we see each other everyday. But today was different!!! I heard her talking to someone and saying thanks for the wishes...I knew it was her birthday so couldnt stop myself from wishing her coz thats how the Leobond is...In my opinion wishes always bless us. I finally broke my silence and broke the 'Stranger Relationship' to a known one...A face in the crowd is no more unkown!!!...Thats what life is all about...'Smile & the whole world will smile back to you'......

Game of the Warriors!!!

Aaj ho jaye thodi professional batein....The  leobond works in ERP Technology and would like to share her small small experiences....By the way...Work in every sense is important to all coz that is one's bread and butter and that is what we are living on this earth for....You know but my professional experiences are absolutely different..Like every student even I had some dreams when I was in school...Was a bit studious...doston ko lagtha tha ghumti hi nahi ...kahin jaati hi nahi...when I reached college still us kide ne saath nahi choda and that paved way to something that was a dream called MBA...U know I dont know why we are know that we are very selfish and our dreams keep changing still -Who stops Dreaming!!!...Luckily through MBA and that was the place where I got facinated with something which is termed as ERP now and then I decided that karungi to SAP mein hi kaam and point to be noted SAP ka 'S' bhi nahi pata tha...Chalo by God's grace wo bhi mil gaya and TCS gave me this oppty and I am really thankful to my firs company for this...I was happy the way professional life took off!!!But here comes the real story..The leobond did not know that SAP is like MATHS-the more different kinds of numericals you solve the better you become...The current scenario-As soon as I am in office the word -ISSUE is what I am married to...heheee....The day starts with an issue and ends with it forming a viscious circle!!!...I see all of them here and there asking each other - 'Arre yaar wo tera issue solve hua kya'....And as soon as one resolves he/she shouts as if India has won the cricket match against Pakistan and last ball pe sixer laga!!!....Anyways but I would call SAP as the Game of warriors!!!....Everyday in the morning when emails are overloaded there are forums which make the day by being the CUSTOMER SERVICE CENRES!!!..Each day a new thread is posted and the day passes searching such treads ki shayad kahin kisi ko pata ho ISSUE ka solution....hehehee

U & I : Do we actually have a story to say...

Hey...Everyday, we cross n number of people. Some we remember, some we forget...Some last forever, some for a min and some do not exist. The Leobond personally believes that people we meet, and if we keep on meeting them again must have a story with a begining & end. The end might be good which takes the relationship to the next level or ends at a bad note. There are numerous examples in our day to day life which can make us think whats stored for future!!I like to travel to many places time to time. I have many such short stories to tell. When I was in college , since my parents used to stay in Assam ,I used to travel alone to Assam by Rajdhani and the journey used to be two days long. You just cant keep mum and pass two days so I was used to talking to strangers and making friends and during this time I realised that we all actually have a story to say for everyone we meet. I just cannot forget my "Train to Hyderabad "journey whre I was going along with Tutu for MBA interview. In my compartment I met people who got admission in the same college as I did...So the journey started with a Train and the friendship story began...I am sure just like the Leobond, we all have short n crispy joyful or sorrow u decide, stories to say....

The Change which is Constant!!!

We often hear people say that "Life moves on"-Nothing is constant ....etc but one thing is for sure Change is constant!!...I mean to say change will always be there and memories will always fade in;fade out....Today is a big day for my family-bhaiya is a full fleged Doc now-Bada waala doctor-hehehe....I met my sweet heart bhabhi yesterday...Delhi is always fun with all the old friends...I see Leobond growing each and everyday and maturing in thought and action..In a few months things are constantly changing...everyday has been a new moment for me as I meet new people and new endeavor....There are few things in life which remind you of loads of pain and grief...but some years later you tend to forget everything but the pain still pinches....Leobond does not know what future stores for her but she knows one thing whatever come in life she will be strong and firm on her decisions....In Mumbai, I seriously miss few people a lot apart from my family-Lavi & Tutu....Life is full of joy with them...Have never stayed far away from them for a long time but this is again CHANGING...:(...I think loads of Change n changes mentioned...Its time to shut down my store of writing...one little thing - " Abke to bichde to kitabon mein milen, jaise sukhe hue fool kitabon mein mile"...

Nomadic Leobond!!!

People say that life moves on with time...But the Leobond believes, in Mumbai, life moves on with travel...hehhee..I was born in Allahabad, brought up in West Bengal/Assam;studied in Delhi/NCR and working in Mumbai....The leobond in short loves to travel and life is really taken me to many places and I love to meet new people....Life should be adventurous not monotonous....It is usually said that a person's first job is very close to their heart so it is the same for me...I still remember my joining office in TCS Thane...Then I got shifted to Andheri the very next day and two years of my life in Mumbai was fun travelling in autos...Alas!!!I never knew any bus number...not even trying to see...That really bad and here I would like to mention that the leobond is very bad with navigation-infact tooooooooooo poor....Since I am back to Mumbai, but this time a different part-my office is in Navi Mumbai so I need to travel everyday a lot which I really love to...But the worst part when I am coming back I can never properly locate my house :( :(....Yesterday was pathetic ...I took a bus ticket 4r one location and reached the other and the bus conductor did not even say anything :(:(....Everyday the autowaala (a new one offcourse) laughs and must be thinking what a Passenger!!!....Travelling is fun...One thing which I dont understand, how can people put their headfones on when de just need to travel for even 20 mins....There is so much to see outside and everyday I guess is a new experience...new people...but its fun....:)..:)...

Do we really believe in First Impressions!!!

In our life, we meet so many people...some we forget ...some we remember....When we meet someone many of us become judgmental...Does this happen with the Leobond also???I guess no....When it comes to people of my age I think we all might be good or bad...Every human being on this earth is the same with 206 bones,2 ears, one mouth...etc etc...Its the quality in us which makes us good or bad.....I get hurt when some yells on me and become happy when someone praises me...Its the same with all of us...We are the same and it hardly matters... We all get one life ...coz punar janam concept I donno...Its important to make others happy rather than being selfish...Such one type of person I met yesterday....A person whoo with  takes life as it comes and believes in helping with open arms...That is what makes him great in my eyes...I admire every such human being on this earth with their little smile bring smile on other sad faces... The Leobond wants to learn this art as she is growing up coz I believe in "Live & let Live" but with a sweet SMILE...:):)....

So fas so Good.....

7th May really proved to be a good day for...After coming to Mumbai,this was the first day when I was tension free and I actually feel -Allz well that ends well...I shifted to my new house...The most important thing was the landlady settling down things smoothly...I cant really express in words how homesick and lonely i felt in this one month and realised how much I wanted my Mom to be here....Alas!!! somethings are fated and I believe that nomatter how strong we all pretend to be ,at the back of our minds we are all too weak to handle everything in a new environment...Office was as usual a bit more hectic and thankfully did not have a fight with anyone ...hehhee.... I was back to Bandra with my pal...I was happy to be with her coz i know she will go back soon to Delhi soon...One more thing, my BUDDY is no longer angry with me so no more guilty feelings...hehhee...Its a too hot morning to write all this...Haven't planned anything for the day....Offcourse movies and shopping are there on the list!!! Had lovely chicken last night ...

Defeat of truth and trust in this nonsensical society....

Satyamec Jayate holds no value in today's world...Incidences in life keep provong this. I blame myself responsible for all this...But somehow I feel too helpless....Let the leobond describe why she feels so defeated....
INCIDENCE :
I rented a house in Airoli, my friend had searched that for me. Here in Mumbai, need to pay huge deposit & brokerage to the person who acts as a mediator for geting the house rented and deal closed between the landlord and the tenant.
As per the agreement on stamp paper I paid a brokerage of XX amount and got the house. In order to vacate the house, a notice of 1 month should be given prior to vacating the house. after 15 days, the landlady calls and says she wants me to vacate the house and I am shelterless again...The broker's contact are lost...He does not even bother to answer the call. In such a circumstance my brokerage has gone waste & I am homeless. My situation is no less than a defeated warrior at this point because I cannot fight back this injustice..I feel defeated coz I am unable to fight for my own cause and my own hard earned moner and on top of that the landlady tells me that if she is suppose to take out my brokerage from my brokers pockets...
Bravo!!!....Wow I am so damn helpless!!! Want to do something for myself and fight this back so that noone has the right to cheat anyone in near future but I am left alone!!!....

My inner concience tells me to fight but am I really so helpless!!!!!....
Any kind of breach of trust is unforgivable and such people should be penalised for all such causes!!!
