Sometimes even small things suck!

You can only sip from a cup full of tea but sometimes a cup full of tea can suck also. If you are leading a team and people look upon you as their lead, then even small things can matter sometimes. For ex. what will you think if the leader of the team is served with a cup of tea and then after 10 minutes tea for everyone follows? It is mere symbolic but in one way reflects the personality.

Blogger has lost its colours - An update!

It sometimes helps to be an engineer. You can think about troubleshooting things which have no concern for you or should not have concern for you. But an engineer will remain an engineer and anywhich which does not concern needs to be troubleshooted :)

As I was writing my last blog, the colours on the heading came. Troubleshooting it a little further suggests that when I click on "Publish Post" blogger is first giving an error while posting. Also it removes the colours from the post heading. Then when I publish again after painting it back in colours, the colours stay.

Blogger guys, if this helps, then solve it! I am using Opera by the way these days.

Blogger has lost its colours

I have been noticing for the past few posts that Blogger guys seem to have lost the colours. Everything is black or white for them these days. I used to mark all the headings of my blogs in Bold + Red. I still continue to do the same but the geeks at blogger.com have changed.

How the water department works in Delhi?

I went to pay me water bill (it is the only one left where I still have to go, stand in a line, swear at the heat, pay 10 Rs. extra everytime hoping that not many people are interested in paying the bill after due date only to be disappointed). This is how the department works:

Step I) You give the bill along with the money to a person sitting at the counter in Window One
Step II) The person returns you the remaining cash and passes the bill to a person sitting on his right
Step III) The person on the right makes an entry in the register and passes the bill to the person on his right
Step IV) The person on the right stamps the bill and looks for a person on this right

Oops. Thank God there is no person on his right. So devoid of any choices in life, he follows the last option. He passes the stamped bill to the customer waiting on Window Two.

I think there is only one week in two months where those three persons think it is worth living a life and they want to make the most of it. Who hates attention?

Anyways, from the window outside they look like the three monkeys of "Bura mat suno, bura mat dekho, bura mat karo" fame.

One Night @ The Call Center

In the earlier post "The Three Mistakes of My Life", I had put some paisas on the cost of One Night @ Call Center. And yes, it is Rs. 95. Good that these guys are not getting affected by inflation worries and have kept the price the same. The main reason for it could be that Chetan Bhagats fan following is increasing at a rapid pace and so more quantity helps in more profit at the same cost price.

I have read more than half of it in the past 2 days and Chetan Bhagat certainly has the knack of keeping you glued with his simple way of telling the story.

But it is not One Night @ Call Center with all the dates at different places in NCR for Mr. Shyam.
