Wonderful and spiritual weekend !!! :)

Hey there...
How are you all ha?? I know many of you were waiting for my update on my blog, right?? So here i am, back with a bang, after a wonderful and the most spiritual weekend.
After a long week of five days, I was damn tired but somewhere very anxious and excited for my weekend. I already had plans for this weekend since last two weeks (I know you are getting excited too for the same and you all want to know what it was :D) But, let me tell you it was up to the mark or i must say more than that.
Actually, it started when my mother's Reiki master, who gave her treatment on one of her illness asked me about learning Reiki (Yesssssss, i was desperately waiting for him to ask me this) and I immediately said yes, without even asking for anything. He told me that the seminar will be held on 11th for two days and I got the reservation done for the same with my brother. I was so relaxed as it was my weekend on 11th and I can enjoy and learn it thoroughly.
We were supposed to reach by 1pm on Saturday, we were all prepared. I went to temple for seeking blessings from God and had a wonderful and shantibhara darshan with my special one ;-). After that I went back home, to make the necessary preparations for the seminar. As usual, I was 10 minutes late for the same but didnt made any difference, as the Master was already waiting for us to reach.
The seminar started with introduction of everyone, there were 4 of us. One was housewife, who was worried about her children's future, one was a retired Bank officer and then there were we two. It was a class with almost all the age group people. We were told about the history of Reiki, I tell you it was unbelievable, the stories we heard were awesome, magical ... sigh!! There were so many stories that we heard and it was hard to believe on them, but when we experienced Reiki inside us, it was just MAGICAL :) :) seriously.
There are 3 levels in Reiki, level 1- beginner, level 2 - more advanced one and the last is the Master degree. I got my level 1 completed yesterday and I tell you I am feeling awesome. I have the energy to feel it, to heal myself, my thoughts, my pain and I can pass the same energy to someone in need just by a touch.... Isn't it a wonderful experience. I just have one word to say that it is Miraculous!!!
We were given initiation by our Master, it means that our pores and the blockages for the energy to pass were opened and were taught about it on the first day. After that we were given a printed file for the same and were told that we will experience it on our-self and on others tomorrow, which grew my level of excitement ( I tell you, that I was not able to sleep for the whole night :D)
Finally, it was Sunday. We reached on time even though it was Mother's Day, but we managed to reach on time ( will discuss the story of Mother's day later). And once all got settled down, we started our meditation (was waiting for the master to say about start giving reiki to yourself). After meditation and some discussions we were told to concentrate and start giving it and experiencing it on yourself as per the indications in the video and the chakras. I must tell you that it was just a heavenly experience WOWWWW :). Once we were done after expeiriencing it on our-self, we were instructed it to give it to each other. I was excited and nicely gave it to my partner over there and she enjoyed it. She said that she was able to feel the warmth and felt relaxed, woopyyyyy i passed the level 1. Thanks to my Master and my concentration too (being a little mean).
Guys, you can also experience the same. It is just awesome, miraculous, magical............. so on :)
Coming to Mother's day, I tried to bake a cake which unfortunately turned out to be a disaster, but wait I cooked Biryani which was finger licking good, seriously it was damn tasty :)

Let me know your experiences about weekend and what all you think about reiki. :)

What a day- office, cleaning, bandwala, head.... Meetings. Huh!!

Yesterday was the day, when I suddenly started feeling low and I didn't even wished to talk to anyone and suddenly I felt like sharing and no one was around. It thus happens with me sometimes, I suddenly feel to go to my world of thoughts, feelings where there is no entry to anyone. But, am all in good energies and positive today.

It's a tradition ( yes, you can say that) in our company, to be present there in the meeting, even if you are in any corner of the world, on Thursdays ( hey, but I don't like to be there much, as sometimes I feel am bored with the discussion around, it becomes hard to catch the fundas going above your head...). Yesterday, I was feeling low, not at all in mood to do work, I think this early morning shift has started showing its side effects :D sigh!

I told my boss, that I am going early today (gave no reasons for the same) and he being a good boss, didn't even questioned me for the same ( I was looking for such kind of boss from long time. You know, I have started falling in love with this office, its the coolest kind of office I have ever seen. You get all the freedom over here and you even get your own space. Lovely naa!!!). I left 2 hours before my usual time to leave, and started my bike and swished to home, as I was missing my bed and room desperately to sleep over (Awww, I miss my sleeping till late morning, until Mom prepares the breakfast and I immediately wake up after sniffing the breakfast, Ohhh that's an exotic feeling... I have already mentioned that I love the parathas she makes. Awesome!!!)

Coming back to Thursday, I left early from office and reached home within 15 mins, it usually takes 20-25 minutes, but as I was bored and wanted to reach as soon as possible, I was speedy enough to reach in 15 minutes. As I reached, I saw mom making lunch and I was eagerly waiting for some Garma- Garam Khana :P. I quickly got freshen up and went on table to have lunch and as soon as I finished my lunch, I thought of going to bed and have some nap ( in summer don't you feel the same, bolo bolo) and here is the start of something quirky. As i laid down, Mom came and my intuitions were already signing me towards some unexpected works, but i tried to ignore it... but, failed to do it, huh!! Mom asked me to clean all the stuff and mess around with the stuff which she brought while shopping in the great shopping place MUMBAI (hey, all the girls round there don't you enjoy shopping in Amchi Mumbai :D) and with all the force I woke up and cleaned the mess which take me around 2 hours, and its was 3.30 already and I told mom, that am going for some sleep and I also want to attend the weekly meeting in office at 6, so thats all for now.

Wow!!! finally time to take a nap, isnt it? As I laid down and was about to sleep, I started hearing a sound, which was of some band baaja, arrrgggggggghhhhh!! I hate this while sleeping. I looked out from the window and saw there was some wedding function in the nearby wedding hall, I rolled up eyes furiously, I mean WTH, why always me??? Somehow I managed to cuddle and tuck myself in bed, but was not able to tolerate that sound and I woke and went to read something. As I started reading some of the books, my head starting shooting, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr this pain in head, because I was not able to sleep, uhuuhuhuhuhu :( :(.

I left the book and started to get ready for the meeting, with all my queries and stuff. Came to office and as I saw the meeting had already started, so I stood near the end of the SUPPORT BAY ( yes, its a standing meeting, where we all discuss what all issues we faced and requirements... EVERYTHING). I was happy that today atleast I don't have to attend the whole meeting because half of the meeting was already finished (wowwwww) I was the last in queue to ask my queries from support team, as my number came I asked my queries and gave some suggestions from clients. The meeting lasted for around 20 minutes after i joined, somewhere i was happy that atleast this was the good thing that happened to me :) seriously. I left the office after meeting and again swished to home, as some of my favorite daily soaps where waiting for me and tea time with mom was also waiting for me... but yes, this was not the end actually.
There is a second tradition too, in my life that every evening I and my man meet each other for atleast 20 mins so that we can see, talk and share what all happened in the whole day, but as it was not my day, we didn't meet. He was busy in some household function, so he didn't came (no issues, can understand :)). So, i directly went home, enjoyed some of my favorite daily soaps and this is how my day ended.

Let me know your bad days, boring days... how do you enjoy meetings and everything :) :)

Monday Blues.... and ME!!!

"Wake up, will you. Getting late for office." Mom said, sitting near my bed and worried about me getting late for office, on the first day of the week... the most hated day MONDAY.

I still imagine, how wonderful will it be if Monday doesn't comes and I can sleep for about more 2 hours than usual.

"Shut that alarm, I still want to sleep." I said to her, making childish faces with a voice of a innocent baby. ( I think so, that I really talk like an innocent baby while waking up, but my mom thinks I am not at all an innocent baby... HAHAHAHA I am not at all innocent sometimes :))

It was already 5:15 am, and I was told to reach office by 6:00 am as the shift had changed and I hate this shift, because of this I don't get to sleep as much I want and even it makes hard for me to watch my favorite television soaps, which I like a lot and I go to my imaginary world of fantasies while watching these serials.

Finally, I woke up and took a bath in hurry as I was already too late. I had a swollen face because of Sunday trip to MUMBAI, wowwwww it was so fun :). Mom made some breakfast for me, her most famous Parathas which she forces us to eat in the morning so that we can have a heavy breakfast and she won't be worried about our hunger as we have eaten her big Paratha with full of ghee ...... yummy!!! I like to eat it with Kairi ka achaar, which she makes.... It’s so damn tasty and yummy :) :)

So, coming back to Monday Blues, I started my day at around 5:30 am, tried to reach office by 6:00 am but as usual I was 10 minutes late... isn't this a regular sign for Monday blues, sigh! 

I came in the office and there was no one in such a big premises, only one guy from other department and as I have already mentioned in my earlier post that I am a new joiner, so was bit scared or you can say tensed about handling the chats and tickets from our clients all alone for one hour as the other colleague in my department was about to come at 7:00am... and I made the blunder of the day... Yes, finally because of my dreams, fantasy world and still stuck in Sunday memories, I made a blunder. 

Well, we are talking so much of Sunday memories; let me tell you that what I did this weekend. Actually, I went out for a movie on Saturday, it was nice movie though but a horror flick and horror is never my cup of tea, I just can't take horror movies but as he forced and I was also excited to watch it, so finally we went for that movie and enjoyed, you can say it was a nice movie in all. On Sunday morning, my family planned a trip to Mumbai, as my father had a flight to Delhi from Mumbai for some wedding ceremony, we all planned to do trip over there and it was only 3 of us Me, Mom and my brother, and I tell you we enjoyed a lot.

We dropped father at airport and then went ahead with our plans, we went over Worli Sea Link, Siddhivinayak Temple and we did someeeeeee shopping, it’s by nature if there are two females then they are about shop, aren't they!! (Need your comments on this )

After, all this we returned back at around 11:00AM, had some stuff for dinner and went to sleep as had to wake up early in the morning..... Coming back to Monday blunder, let me tell you it was all because of this overly enjoyed trip, seriously!

I was feeling so lazy and saw two tickets in the queue (client's email with their query and problems are called as tickets) and thought of replying, as all of a sudden I started feeling that I was a master in this and this led to a blunder. I opened the tickets and as we are only able to reply one ticket at a time, I prepared both the replies in notepad and pasted it in the reply section and clicked on Send, instead of taking some time to read the reply for tickets I blindly clicked on Send button. 

What I did was I jumbled up the replies for two tickets and I realized it after sending the replies and this made an issue in the office, I felt a little bad and said to myself that how can I do this and I started imagining the consequences of it. Actually, each reply we send for tickets is being emailed to everyone in the department, so I knew that I was in big trouble. Everyone saw the reply and started telling me, lecturing me.... ufff!!! I started feeling again the center of attraction, how can I do this, huh!!! It was all okay with our boss, he didn't mind it at all, he explained me properly and I was relaxed. Thank God! That it didn't create a big issue. But, I think it was all Sunday and Mumbai's fault HAHAHHAHAHAH, exactly as I was in their world whole weekend and Monday morning, right? :)

This was my experience on Monday.... Monday Blues :)

Let me know your story on the same, let’s discuss and find out some solution for such blues and blunders! :)

I met a FATHER today...

Today, while returning to office after having lunch... Yes I do go out for lunch as I mentioned am new joiner and have no good friends here, so I go out for lunch with one of my good friend from my last office and we meet near a ground and have lunch and enjoy that time. At least at that time, I get some fresh air which is good for my heart and brain to think :)

So, while I was parking my vehicle in the parking of my office, I heard a voice calling me. It was an old man's voice, strong with full of emotions, as if that voice wanted to ask something and after parking I turned to see who it was. As I looked behind, I saw an old man, nearly around his 50's with a thick grey mustache, half bald, wheatish color and wearing some dull grey color shirt and pant, was looking at me with full of questions in his eyes and was desperate to talk to me.

Following was the conversation I had with him:

Man: Tai ( it means a girl in Marathi language) is it a call center, you working in?
Me (a bit confused about what to answer to his question): Yes..... ahh no, its a software company.
Man: Do you have any openings over here?
(I started imagining him sitting beside me and doing chat with our clients)
Suddenly, he asked me again the question.
Me: Yes we do, but.....
(He immediately answered, as if he judged my face)
Man: My daughter had submitted her resume, but didn't received a call, so....
Me: Oh! she may receive it in one or two days or else she could directly come as walk-in for interview
Man: Oh... okay, will talk to her and send her once.
And the man went smilingly, but his behavior and concern about his daughter raised so many questions in my brain.

Today, in India where at one side you meet people who don't want a girl child, girls are aborted, killed, thrown away, left at roadside etc... you meet a father who wants his daughter to grow up her career and do something in her life.
I too belong  to a family from North- India, wherein my Grandmother always wanted a grandson from my Mother, she did ignored my elder sister same issue as she was a girl and even ignored me as I was the second girl. But suddenly, she started loving me, because as per her thinking I was very SHUBH, because after my birth my brother was born, isn't it something very orthodox, but yes, I do miss my DADI sometimes, as she used to pamper me a lot :)
But, yes my Mother didn't make us think like that, she always treated us equally and gave all her love.
But, after seeing and meeting a Father like I met today, I seriously feel that the Girl is seriously lucky to have a father like him, but I can bet on this that he must be thinking that 'He is a lucky father, that he has a daughter like her'.
So, I think we have different thinking's and mindsets, but I seriously think that Father like this, can change the world and make a girl child to feel proud of hersel.
My best wishes to that father and his daughter! :)

HERE I AM... THIS ME!!!!

I still imagine, whether I can be a good blogger or not, but I think I can try this out!!!

Today, while going through sooooooo much of blogs and sharing and alllllll the list goes on, I thought of writing a blog too, offcourse it lightens your heart and you feel relaxed, right???

So, let me start my first story or a blog as an introduction, so that you people out there can know 'HERE I AM... THIS ME!!!!
I am normal Tech, in a so Great company, newly joined and as you know the new joiner are always the center of attraction in the Company. Whenever you stand, sit, talk, drink water (yes, rightly read drink water) all the eyes are upto you. I still imagine that am I doing something unusual by drinking water (please let me know on this) :)
The office is so silent, that even if u drop a pin you can hear the sound it makes... finally I understood the meaning of what my school teacher used to say in class, PIN DROP SILENCE!!! So, even when I am typing now this blog, I can see from the eyes at my back, someone is peeping in my screen (yes, I do have eyes at my back of head, everyone has it... don't you feel from your consciousness).
To break this silence in me, which is creating a new home in my heart SILENCE I always put my Headphones so that I can hear some crazy Radio Stations and enjoy some Desi music, you know what BOLLYWOOD Music always rocks, yes it does try it out. It does makes me feel homely and I can sit back and relax while doing my work. Yes, I enjoy my work too, with music and the eyes around me, sometimes I feel like a STAR, as all EYES or on you my girl :)
Don't you think, that I am just going on with the silence in the company . So, basically let me come again to my introduction. I am DIVYA, a happy go lucky girl as said by some of my friends. I am a normal not so HI-FI girl, who has simple dreams that every normal girl has, but I do have some abnormal dreams too(which will be discussed in the upcoming blogs from me). I do have a life partner, not married but HEY WE ARE COMMITTED!!! for life and all janam janam ka vadas and fundas. I have a family, small sweet family and even his family is sweet and small. I just want to explore my world and carve my future.
Hey... I think everyone is again staring at me.... let me check out on them and one day I think i will be forced to ask them, DON'T YOU ALL SPEAK, or only use your eyes.

So, everyone reading this do let me know your experiences being a new joiner in a company, bad or good, nice or so so, or same as me being the center of attraction. Waiting for your stories on this!!!
