Thanks Sri
Some borrowed lines for today 

"Living In The Moment"

If this life is one act
Why do we lay all these traps?
We put them right in our path
When we just wanna be free

I will not waste my days
Making up all kinds of ways
To worry about all the things
That will not happen to me

So I just let go of what I know I don't know
And I know I'll only do this by
Living in the moment
Living our life
Easy and breezy
With peace in my mind
With peace in my heart
Peace in my soul
Wherever I'm going, I'm already home
Living in the moment

I'm letting myself off the hook for things I've done
I let my past go past
And now I'm having more fun
I'm letting go of the thoughts
That do not make me strong
And I believe this way can be the same for everyone

And if I fall asleep
I know you'll be the one who'll always remind me
To live in the moment
To live my life
Easy and breezy
With peace in my mind
With peace in my heart
Got peace in my soul
Wherever I'm going, I'm already home

I can't walk through life facing backwards
I have tried
I tried more than once to just make sure
And I was denied the future I'd been searching for
But I spun around and hurt no more
By living in the moment
Living my life
Easy and breezy
With peace in my mind
With peace in my heart
Got peace in my soul
Wherever I'm going, I'm already home

I'm living in the moment
I'm living my life
Just taking it easy
With peace in my mind
Got peace in my heart
Got peace in my soul
Oh, wherever I'm going, I'm already home

I'm living in the moment
I'm living my life
Oh, easy and breezy
With peace in my mind
Peace in my heart
Peace in my soul
Wherever I'm going, I'm already home
I'm living in the moment

"Brownies were a Mr B and me thing"😭


By PM Thursday, she mustered enough courage to ping Ritu for a 1:1
She couldnt put a finger on it, she didnt know she was nervous because Ritu was unappreciative and
critical, or she came across as nervous and unsure that made Ritu the way she was

I AM SLOWLY LOSING MY SELF CONFIDENCE
AND WILL SOON TURN INTO CHANCHAL
PANIC AND AXIETY RIDDEN
AT LEAST SHE IS SLEEPING WITH A MARRIED MAN AND HAS SOMETHING TO FEAR

WHAT DO I HAVE TO FEAR?

ARGHHH!!!
WHAT A MESS

"Hey Ritu, can we chat?" she pinged and hit enter furiously

She didnt hear from her for 22 minutes

She came on with a Hi! II? How can I help"

OH PLEASE THATS SUCH A CLICHED LINE
LIKE YOU WOULD REALLY LOAN ME 3 LAKHS IF I ASKED U RIGHT NOW?
PHONY!!!
PO DI!!
She scolded her in her head


"Umm.. I was hoping we can get on the phone"

"Uh oh! Is this bad?" Ritu tried to joke

AYYYO!!!
U ARE NOT FUNNY DO NOT JOKE
JUST MAKES ME MORE PISSED UNINTENTIONALLY

"Nothing actually, just touching base?"

"Oh? Can we talk in an hour?"

SO U EXPECT ME TO BE ONLINE AND WORKING AT 7 PM?
I BETTER BE ONLINE AND WORKING AT 7 PM

She pinged II at 7:40 PM
After Rakshasan pinged her to check when she was returning, he was planning a trip to Beeji's

"I am so behind on my Punjabi lessons" she texted

"I could give u a quick lesson before we go" he sent a devil

"Needaane? Onn kitta lessons eduthunda, beeji will disown me (U? IF I TAKE LESSONS FROM YOU)
He sent a half smile

HE PROBABLY HAS A BUNCH OF WORDS HE USES WHEN HE MAKES LOVE

I KNOW... UMM... MOST... WELL... SOME... OK FINE... A FEW

"I am waiting for my boss da" she texted

"Thx" he said

"How is Dad?  Do u know?" she she asked

"Fine... why?" he asked

"Nothing" she shook her head

she wondered where the negotiations were at... uneasy and nervous


Ritu called at 7:40

Sorry... u know how meetings with Bally and Mr B are like" she chuckled

AYYO!!!
I KNOW WHAT THEY ARE LIKE
I USED TO BE "THERE"
IN SPECTRUM
NOT A COOLIE, DEPLOYING
I WOULD GO GRAB A COFFEE WITH BALLY AND MR B AFTER THE MEETING AND MR B WOULD BUY ME A BROWNIE

"Mr B and I went down for coffee, and one thing led to another" Ritu subtly bragged

AND WHAT?
DID U END UP IN BED TOGETHER?
ARGHHH!!!
SORRY!!
I DONT NEED TO KNOW RITU

"Daily Perk brownies are really good" Ritu said

"OH SO! HE BOUGHT "YOU" BROWNIES TOO?
WHAT ABOUT ME?
BROWNIES WERE A MR B AND ME THING
NO LONGER?
THANKS MS MADAAN
AYYO!!!
THOSE SUBTLE INFORMAL FRIENDSHIPS ARE "IT"
I  WAS TOLD

GUESS NOT...
BIG BOSSES  DO WHATEVER IS POLITICALLY EXPEDIENT?
NIIICE
#TEARSANGERJEALOUSY

"Any way, kya baat karna tha tumhe?"


"Umm... just work stuff"

"Dont tell me the code is failing in Amritsar

ONN VAILA NALLADE VARAADA DI?
(Wont u ever say a nice thing?)


"No no... everything is good, systems are new, tests are running great
Install is later tomorrow or Monday

"Niiice II... Great"


"Hey BTW Ritu I was hoping, I can check out early tomorrow, my (STOPPED JUST BEFORE SHE SAID HUSBAND) agent tells me there is a flight to Delhi at 3, I am hoping to take that"

"Oh?"

"U know, Ive been gone a week, the baby apparently is refusing to eat, he is on strike"

"speaking of strike I hear Excelsior went on strike" Ritu informed, coolly

IT JUST PISSED II OFF

"Mr B was saying will we ever see what the whole install looks like" Ritu cracked a joke in extremely poor taste


"I dont think its priority right now for Mr Bhalla" "U know... I AM GUESSING" II found herself being a lil too shrill towards teh end


"Oh ya ya... u are right... SW is probably the least of his worries

"So NEWAY... my nephew is apparently sulking, demanding, asking for me" II laughed, forcefully, as she lied

"But u just said u might deploy tomorrow?" Ritu appeared "confused"

"Umm... ya... Ashwini's nerds are here" II joked

"Ya but they are not deployment u know, they are just "install & test" Ritu said firmly

"Right... hmm.. u are right" II was devastated

"Ya head out ASAP in the evening" Ritu said cheerfully

"Sure will!!" II said hanging up

True... she should seriously  give it some thought
Yes some managers are definitely tougher. Plus II is no superwoman, she hasnt "coded" in a while, she is filling in for Ashwini as she does her own job also. She is out of state. There is a new baby at home. Her best friend of sorts Akka is not talking to her


Her father in law's company is in crisis. She is no soap bahu to take that on, but she is worried at not being able to contribute even emotionally towards that cause
Her husband lives overseas, and will be gone in 10 days

Its just everyday issues that happen with many 25+ year olds. We cannot get all we want in life. Sometimes the things we want the most we dont get. She was obsessed with career, she refused to marry a "US guy" and now her Delhi position is so lack luster and stressful😭

Alright..! Just this morning I was thinking about II's emotional security in context to dude...it was looking like she is no more doubtful about dude running out of her life someday
All that emotional insecurity seems like directed towards the job
Must mean a lot if things for II
- a punch in the gut and she must have the same feeling she had when dude called everybody for lunch at his place and skipped II

- must be feeling like a labour of no worth being exploited to full potential and given back no rewards 

- the feeling when u are proud about your performance and somebody tells u it was filled with loop holes 

Dam I feel for II...that's the cruel way world is 
Filled with running into a wall and hitting on your nose when u think it's the next lane if u take that turn 

Loved her anger and protective stature when Ritu made fun of excelsior or mentioned the strike - hey u whoever u are stay off it its my dad's company style 👏

Looking forward to Punjabi lessons 😛

Out of all this commotion at her work. Hopefully there will come a day when II stands up and says chuck it...I don't deserve being tread like this and I have a bloody better life ahead and quit KPMG and find a better place 
Being obsessed with the job and being religious about the company is is a good thing until u get the same value in return
When somebody takes advantage of your love for the firm u must slowly let yourself out and find a different gid to pray for

Thank You Nisha.
Hope II gives a though and quits. I really want her to now.

She couldnt put a finger on it, she didnt know she was nervous because Ritu was unappreciative and 
critical, or she came across as nervous and unsure that made Ritu the way she was

I AM SLOWLY LOSING MY SELF CONFIDENCE.

This is real bad and might actually get worse and affect her work.

Namratha

We often tell ourselves "BAS WOH JOB MIL JAAYE. The BEST commute, I will be home early, take care of my kids. I dont have to deal with the train wreck of a boss in this job. It pays more, and the benefits are better. MY LIFE IS GOING TO BE OH SO PERFECT"

And then, we find its not what it was projected to be, might be it was partly our over enthusiasm, or our extreme disillusionment with the current role

Just when we think "Life will be perfect in everyway" Life demands TREMENDOUS sacrifices from us
