oooohhhh baby!

I don't know what it is about babies...and on a totally different subject...I don't know what it is about the cute relaionship "baby" talk. I must say though...I've begun to find it so funny how we do "baby" one another..once the much puppy sets in ..on...shall we say a relationship. I almost feel bad for that cute adorable baby in the cerelac commercial..or the one in the jhonson's baby commercials...because while they're obviously cute...again..in a totally different way,..the fact is we tend to call both the infants...and the.. uhh, shall we say...our honry lil partners...the exact same thing! "Hey baby, Good mornning baby..."...and the more Joey.. "how ya doing..baby" kinda gag. And if our lil' infant in the midst of all this realised that unfortunately...he and our ."other grown baby" are refered to as the same thing...lets just say..those diapers would be a lot more loaded out of....

There are somethings that people say that stick with you. A quote you might have read in a book, a line in a movie...or just a random statement in a conversation....but sometimes you tend to take one random thought...and make it your own... I don't even remember where I got mine from...but "You don't have to love people...just to be nice to 'em"...was something I made my own. And thats helped me build bridges, make friends, love what I do....and look forward to social engagements night after night.. Frankly, I don't adore half the people I know, I cant possible be in love with everyone I meet on the job, and no not all my colege buddies are to die for...but being nice has always been a good habbit. At first one fakes it, then one makes it a habbit..and now I think this doze of congeiniality has....

The ironies of life!

"No....I don't play holi..." i kept telling myself, even when I had water splashed over me..."No i don't play holi," i kept telling myself even after one cute kid after another would come and rub color all over my face and hair.....and "no I don't play holi," i kept telling myself...secretly enjoying all the colors, the splashes the enthusiasm around as we were doing our morning live telecast for Holi. I was tired! We had shot all night for the holi special..where we had a blast shooting qawalli and bluff master sequences....but we wrapped up at 5......took a nap on the couch for about a half hour...and we were out in the wee hours of the morning....to do our morning live! At that point, belive it or not...I wanted my face to be absolutly covered in color so you couldnt see those tired eyes....and that inner wish....

Join the hugga'thon!

You know you're in the right work place when you walk into the building and you're not just going to be meeting colleagues.....but meeting friends. And that's where the huggathin begins! everyone loves a big warm hug! And of course since we need to comply with international laws on hugging...we all make sure we exchange some body heat when we first see each other... Although I must confess when George Koshy came back from his bird flu stories......I was a lil' weary...now normally we're all very fond of george you know...he's this sweet guy..who's got this energy about himself.....but a slight bird flu scare is no match for year round charisma of course! Other than that ...I particularly enjoy meeting up with the news desk ....especially when I'm seeing them if they've been on the night shift for a week...We don't tend to cross paths often....

The clock is ticking....

The clock is ticking....really...and faster than you'd imagine. so one second you're this 16 year old guy who walks into the bombay times office in three fourths and gets a job...and bam! ...in what seems like just an hour later you're this 21 year old who works...i mean works now...not so much as a thing on the side with college....i mean work as in for a living! I mean office isnt a place i come for the free food..or to hang out...or to just be able to say things like "im going to work"......now i come to office to actually...WORK. How uncool! I can't say I don't enjoy what i do....coz the fact is i love it....but sometimes i hate it when i think..."This is ALL I do". I mean over the past 6 years work has always been one of the things that i enjoyed. So there was....
