8.12.2011

I want to remember this date. 4 reasons. 

( I will come to the 1st  and important one at last) so for now : 

1. I spoke to P, a friend whom I had almost stopped talking. We were discussing about traits of men and women ( how emotional they are ). And after the brief conversation, the sentence he messaged, which I would never forget. ( It was about keeping friendship and thanking me coming into his life. First person who expressed this )

2. My first day of new job. Although I was bored to the core, ( not even having system to kill time, all uncle types err I mean all serious men, yeah all were typical professional serious type men,  who charged god knows how many bucks to smile ) But regardless of all negative impressions ( except one man, who made me smile, will talk about it later ), I want to work here. The work has challenges and seriously it tested my common sense , just for half an hour though, which seems to be dwindling day by day. ( Proof : The other day I threw the TV remote )

3. This is for someone who I (99%) think is reading this. I got over you. I was angry at you, for not being and keeping the friendship. I am hurt. But honestly, you have thought me how to hate. I wanted to master that art, to save pain. You did the trick It doesn't mean I hate you, but yeah, you are totally stranger to me now, and this I won't forget. Ever.(Coz you used to say even when I pushed you away that no matter what we will be friends FOREVER. You broke your words. And perhaps I won't forgive you for this. Never.)

4. Coming to the important part, remember I said only one man made me smile today in the office ? It was the CE of the company I work ( And he is my reporting person till God knows when ) I love him because he has shown tremendous faith on me. I felt like calling him Uncle rather than sir ( He is of my dad'age or lil younger )And briefing the process, he added training/Coaching. My jaws invisibly touched the floor. I smiled with questions in my eyes. He said : " Why you smiled ? We had agreed during your interview na that you would train us. Let us also improve our English " I was blushing ( I don't know why. And I am smiling recalling this ) That was biggest compliment someone gave me in my whole life. I would never forget this man ( He has genuine good smile, and very open mind and down to earth ). I know I am far  from training someone like him,yet the very thought instilled life in me. Till I am alive I won't forget his little gestures along that huge compliment. Sir, Thanks for trusting and introducing me as a poet to one of the AGM. It felt so proud and happy :)
