Abu Trip

An office trip was arranged to Mt. Abu recently in the last week of June. The agenda of the meeting was some work and some fun. It wasn’t entirely fun as well as not entirely work. The work part included setting up KRA’s for the whole year for the complete team.

The trip can be considered kind of successful where the fun part was considered. There were a huge lot of group activities and games that were arranged, but the setting up of KRA’s was actually a mess. Some person’s KRA’s weren’t discussed even once. The remaining person’s; were discussed in about half an hour. I feel like asking a question: Is it possible, feasible and correct to set up tasks and objective for the WHOLE year in half an hour? Shouldn’t some more time and thoughts be involved in the process? Even for the people whose tasks had been discussed, there is dissatisfaction. In some cases, that particular person’s views were not even asked, let alone discussed. In some other cases, the management didn’t have their own thoughts and decisions. They actually were completely depending on the person in question. How irresponsible can it get? Our bosses don’t have any clue about the work they should delegate to their team!! And then those very same bosses scream and interrogate as to why their team is sitting idle the whole time. This is INJUSTICE! If I let my thoughts loose, some very similar things and insults are gonna come up. But, then my English vocabulary will desert me for heaping up the insults.

Before beginning any kind of fun, we were promised that for each and every person of the team, their tasks and objectives will be finalized and signed. But, then I guess, promises are definitely meant to be broken. What little trust we had, has dissipated. Later on, there was a second promise given that the left over work will be completed on the next day in the office. Now, we have to see, to what extent that promise will be kept.

Seasons

Chilling bones, chattering teeth
Bluish nails cold feet
Plentiful appetite, dry skin
Comes with winter as if its kin

Barren land, falling leaves
Forming on the ground huge heaps
A little chilling, windy air
Autumn has its very own flair

Chirping birds, happy bees
Colorful flowers, glorious trees
Joyous atmosphere everyone likes
Spring brings with it, several delights

Scorching heat, relentless sun,
Trickling perspiration, on top of it a sun burn
Harried expression, parched throat
All comes along with summer soar

Humid air, loads of moisture
Muddy puddles, cleansened nature
Water logging, lightning & thunder
Monsoon’s here, have an umbrella as shelter.

The guy I liked ;)

The dazzling eyes, the velvet voice, the caring attitude, the tenderness and the fact that he can hear thoughts together form a really deadly combination. Well, I would have asked to guess the person I am talking about, but then, when no one here can get tuned to my thoughts, it will be unfair of me. I am talking about none other than Edward Cullen, the central male character of the Twilight series.

Reading about him just makes you wish!! The way he is described in the books is simply awesome. And then suddenly I realized why I was taken in by his charm. I see him through the eyes of the person who is in love with him. But, this only feels like an excuse. He is great and the way he constantly thinks whether he is selfish or not by being with the one he loves is quite alluring. To be precise, there is nothing in him that is not adorable.

After reading Midnight Sun, I felt, why hasn’t Stephenie Meyer, written a parallel draft from Edward’s perspective, for all the books. I am not implying that hearing Bella’s thoughts is in any way boring. (Bella is the protagonist of the series, from whose view point the story is told.) But that tells so much less about Edward. Its sometimes frustrating not to hear the intricate details of the Edward’s mind and his relationship with his adopted family.

I really admire the way the author has narrated. She just absorbs the readers into the fantasy world. After sometime, for me, the line started to get blurred. Oh! It’s not like I have gone mad. Just that the experience was quite different and pleasing from the usual routine. I could go on and on about Edward, even to the point of quoting his dialogues. But I guess, it would be very dull for anyone else. He is the most amazing guy I have read about. As I said, it just makes me wish!!
