Comfortably Numb, how is that possible ?

I have been in a numb state and therefore the hiatus from the blog was just sitting and watching everything going by with no reactions. So ended it this weekend with guess karo ............
Shopping :)
went shopping with Shwets first for a shawl and saree for my mom then took an aunt to Nalli she wanted to pick up something and of course I bought 3 salwaar suits :) (want to goto amritsar again)
and then Sunday picked up winter ke liye shoes (3 pairs- one beige one choc brown and one white and now I shall wear them this year)
Ah ha is it nice to be back :) nothing beats worldy pleasures. thank God for that
I have that as a solution for some years (I hope).
So my plan for this winter I am going to try and wear formals everyday to work so be it western or (yes yes) sarees :) .
Kuch to life mein change ho (kyon?)

Last couple of weeks have been quite sad as the job market is going really bad and any hope of me quitting BPO or down the ganda drain.
Moreover, it is really sad to know of the employees who have been asked to leave from Amex in OZ and I really like some of them.
Two of them are like grand daddies and utterly harmlees and soooo helpful.
Poor oldies will have to look for a job :( it is the atlanta (NAHD) wala feeliong all over again.
And then there are major migration plans going on which I SIMPLY HATE to be a part of.
(like something inside me just does not let me move) to the extent that there is a IJP for my next level and I don't want to even apply for it (not that I am getting it)
My funda being ki if I hate this so much whats the point of going higher in the hierarchy and then
never be able to get rid of the tag. for a 30-40% hike in salary being hated by India and oz ops and anyways hating the job.
So I am in this state of Inertia ........................ career wise.

Went to Landsdowne with my team members last weekend.
It was awesome, they have this jungle trek and all which was fun
I went about halfway was wearing my chappals and otherwise also could not have done a trek
on the steep mountains with pine leaves (its pretty slippery) par mere team ke naujawan log gaye thei and they saw a leapords cave.
So we played badminton, cricket, water football (u get the pic), flash, dumb shell arts
antakshri & went to see the sunset all on Saturday.
Imagine how much you can do if you are not BUSY watching TV or commuting to work or working.
After an hour we were like ki time beet hi nahin raha.
No wonder bachon ke liye din itney lambey hotey hain. (Bright light )
All in all amazing go to know my team a bit better and good bonding shonding happened.

So this friday I am off to Vaishno Devi with Sunayana and will be back on sunday.
Looking forward to the trek uphill and see how bloody unhealthy I am :(
Planning to go uptill Adkuari and then take an auto to the Bhawan (yes they have autos there now)
or maybe take the chopper but it does not give me that feeling (pious /shraddha wali)
So I guess I am going to see you guys once Anssssu is here
Lets block the 30th Nov or 29 th evening.
