100th post :-) Thanking Ceremony

In all my 8 years of writing, never have I been so excited to celebrate a one-hundredth post of my blog. But Blogger’s Choice has become more than just a blog – it’s become a way of life. I hope I’ve upheld the quality of writing all through these months. There are a lot of people who are responsible for making this journey so overwhelmingly memorable. It started off as an experiment in open, creative writing, and soon became quite well-read.

I thank each and every one who indirectly has contributed to my blog.Of course my parents, sister, friends and crazy dreams.Above all, I really wanna thank those anonymous for your absolute support and mails.Sorry about not moderating few comments. Next time , try uncovering your identity. Cannot take the suspense anymore!

I’ve met some fascinating people through this space. Everyone who knows me personally, professionally and online, knows me a little better because of Blogger’s Choice. May be the sensitive part or the insane part.

Again, I declare that most of the characters in my blog are fictitious and written to expose the emotions. Not meant to hurt anyone personally. If it happened… Maaf kardo yaar!

Thanking all the initial readers of Blogger’s Choice, without whom, it wouldn’t have been possible to come this far.

Acknowledged all the major critics I’ve had on Blogger’s Choice and promise to keep the writing flowing eulogies to all you beautiful people on my blog roll.

It’s quite a nostalgic week ahead. I’m humbled. I guess I don’t really have many words to describe it

Now Blogger’s Choice is renamed as ENDLESS THOUGHTS.

Let me know if you want me to write something specific also .Sometimes emotions fall short to describe the beauty of the life.

Never thought I’d last this long!

Stats are also amazing …8K is not a bad score!

Special thanks to Vicky, Kumar, Kashyap, Raghav, Rahul, Siva, bojo and all the others who follow my blog regularly J

Another year will be over, another year will come. I hope and pray that the lights of Diwali illuminate the new chapter of our lives.

Happy Diwali!

My first day in the big corporate world

Come tomorrow and it would be your first day in office.


I greeted her thank you and got up to walk towards the exit.


Sandieee, dot 9. see ya ! Good luck :-)And welcome aboard :-)


 A volcano of emotions ranging from anxiety to happiness erupted. The first day of precursory bright future should be a great day and I can, certainly, make it the best day of life.


 . That morning was a bit different than usual, as I had my new place to attend. I woke up early, which was quite unusual especially after the long lazy days. On the first day at work, believe it or not, you’d be scrutinized by many eyes. In fact even if a soul in the office doesn’t notice you, you’ll feel like a celebrity in a room full of paparazzi. Obviously, I had to look 1 kg pretty than I looked every day. Although a lot of them may deny, I think everybody wants to look beautiful and handsome on their first day of work.


Reached the office 20 minutes earlier than the office hour. Angie entered the waiting hall after a while and greeted me. We walked up to complete the remaining formalities of joining. Unlike the way dramatized in movies, the new comer would be neither having a shower of petals or a knock on the boss in haste nor the crazy attention of the male employees. It was way too simple for me to get introduced to the team and sit at the corner cubicle allotted. I felt really awkward sitting simply doing nothing till my desktop was fixed. As I did not know anyone and there was some time left for the induction to begin, I thought of exploring my cell phone menu, and tried calling a few friends.


Later in the day, the superstar-ness in me arose. The team of 40 odd has only one girl. This probably might have charged up many single guys yet only few dared the stunt.


Was up for lunch? A tall, dark hunk looked up from his glass edged cube.


While another walks up to give a chocolate, so are few behind my desk, scaringly staring as if wanting to say something with a wooden expression as John Abhraham's .


Then enters the Ghabhar of the office somersaulting …A his chamcha .. with a box of sweets …Although looked like extra animated and bulged version of TOM AND JERRY, but they are fun watching .


What may happen, people are punctual on two things - one lunch, two to rush back home. Kinda similar it was , but now me enjoying the stardom , a tough decision to make was join whom for lunch ? Is it the mumbaikars or dilli delighters or the independent norties leagues or the telaganites or the tamil kutties or the karnatikas… man…it was as tough as to choose uday chopra or Vivek oberoi as ur date.


Finally I managed to get into a hybrid gang which more into paternity life than any. Although not all are married there or have dozen of babies but they talked like double Phd holders in it




Inevitably, on the first day,I found work very difficult or very boring. May be for the vacation or the extra celebrity status.
 I think most of the girls feel this way for the first time; they make friends as soon as they enter any place. I think they bond sooner. Few minutes later, couple of guys came and sat beside me. I need not tell you what happened next.When two meet as strangers, they either become good friends or end up as great enemies later. Fortunately, we were trying to befriend each other. Soon, chatting with people around me became easy.
 Now this ritual has always been interesting for everyone. It's something that we all are so aware of, yet my heart beat faster till I managed to give a normal introduction of mine. The introduction process ate up most of the time, and soon the ice breaking session came to an end.


I was happy with my first day. Although first days are meant to be something special, the regional gangs came up together to make it great for me . A warm welcome treat :-) 

Thank you all who made my first corporate step a memorable one :-)
