Today is the last day of 2009 and I would like to cherish the moments of 2009.
I am in a account for hardly 1.5 years. In these days I learnt many from the people whom I'm working with. First one year there was no meaning to my growth, but still those were butterfly days to me. Where I enjoyed a lot with my friends. That was a beautiful gang. The gang with a 80's born. Thank god we are not related to a same project. We sent times together at lunch break. That was only moment I wanted to come in my day every now and then:)Wow! that was beautiful days in my life. Where I laughed to my stomach ache.:)
Let me go to my work first.
Initially, I did not recognise that I am working with a wonderful team mates. But at the end of 2008 December I realized their importance. I am not talking about their technical skills, but about their beautiful human skills.
There are few more people whom I would like to recollect at this moment. My past team mates at offshore is a youth team. Where every one of us are in the same year of experience( 2.5yrs and we all are campus recruit). Each and everyone in the team are very talented. I never seen one single soul being rude at any occasion.
My room mates ( hostel and at home) - there are really wonderful and I have no words to say about them.I hardly spend few hours at home(in Chennai). And in that few hours, I had a feel that I am living with my family.
Friends - Time spent and spending with friends are always a wonderful moment at any time in life. I have many good friends and few are very close to my heart. Abi and Seetha who know me for many years better than my any other friends. Seetha and I know each other from our school days. She was my neighbour, then we were rivals and later best friends. She got married an year before. Now she is an expectant mother :)
Abi - was my school mate and area mate initially. Later my classmate and best friend too. This year we both almost sailed in same boat. Faced similar problems in life. Whenever I call her to share my pains, she will be facing the same problem that I want to share with her. Wish her, this new year should be a wonderful year!
Family - I would really thank my sister who takes most of the responsibility at home since am away from them. She takes care of my mother's health and share many of my mother's load. I wish in my next birth we should be again born as sisters to our parents. She does many part time work. Before I started to earn, she started earning.
Finally, I thank my parents for all their support in each and every step I take in my life.
2009 was a wonderful year which taught me many wonderful things in this world. I like to thank each and everyone who came into my life as friends,those whom I met for a certain period, those whom I worked with me, those who are working with me , my friends, my relatives and my family.
Thank God for all the moments I faced. Each moment taught a value.
Wishing everyone a very Happy and a Prosperous New Year!

Coffee
That was a fine evening. Of course the best evening
in my life when I think through . I was sitting alone at the corner table in the coffee shop looking into the menu card. Suddenly, a voice “Excuse me”. I lifted my head to see the person of the voice. “Hi. If you don’t mind can I sit here” the voice said. I was looking around to see whether there is any table to occupy. But it was a coffee shop with hardly four tables where 3 are already occupied by young lovers. So with a wild look I said ‘yes’. He sat opposite to me. The waiter came and I ordered for CAFFE CARAMEL and he ordered for CAFFE AMERICANO with milk. You know what happened? Poor waiter has given us the right orderJ. “Anything else madam? ” No, thank you - my reply “Sir ?” No- he replied. “So can I get the bill?” the waiter said. And we both together said ‘yes’. In another 5mins the waiter came with bill. And you know what? He gave us a single bill. Oops!! Here the headache started… He saw the bill it was Rs.77 for his CAFFE AMERICANO and Rs.72 for my CAFFE CARAMEL. Fate started playing here J. Poor guy he had coffee without checking his wallet. And Now he had only 50 rupee in his pocket where all are 10’s. “Bill Gates family man. hmmm” silly guy. He did not have a penny more than that.
Now its my turn. Sir (our hero) turned to me and asked me if I don’t mind whether I could pay the bill. I was stunned for a while even the waiter puzzled. Waiter in his mind (Poor man do not know how to date!!!) and moved from our table. I couldn’t understand what he meant by the way. And finally, the unrevealed truth came into the daylight. He apologized and told me that he had only 50 rupee in his pocket It is his mistake that he did not check his wallet before coming there. He is such an absent minded guy. He requested me to pay the bill then.
I was totally numb. I dint knew him before. Such a strange figure, wack. Okay, god wants me to give money to an educated beggar for that day . I decided to pay his bill also. When I was about to leave the coffee shop, I felt somebody was calling me. It’s none other than our educated beggar. Yes, that’s how I call him. He came near me and said “Thank you!” and gave me the 50rupee he had for him. I got the money and I moved a step. Again he stopped me and asked for my name.
Aha! for what ? . He said that it was me who saved him so he wants to show me his gratitude. I was cool and replied him “It’s a matter of Rs27 which I don’t mind”. But he was not ready to leave me without knowing my name. Alas I introduced myself as “Sathya”. But even then he was not interested in me going away from him. Again he asked for my number. Now he tried to lure me. (My inner voice, Aha he started to flirt Sathya. Escape!!!) Started asking for my contact number. (Man, its my mistake that I paid your bill). Anyway even I liked the way he flirts. My number **********.
Then he introduced himself as Srivatsan and gave me his contact number. He promised me that he will repay me by that evening.
It was a Sunday evening. You know what there are many lovely evenings in my life J . Yes, second best evening I would say. I went to beach all alone. That was a nice breeze and lovely tides. But I didn’t understand that they both were about to tell me something and they passed me without uttering that secret. There were so many people in the beach and me one among them who sat alone and admiring the mother nature. Suddenly, my mobile phone rang. It was an unknown number blinking on the phone screen. I attended the call and said “Hello”. The voice at the other end said ‘Hi’. I couldn’t recognize the owner of the voice. I asked ‘who is this?’. The voice replied ‘hey miss! You forgot me ??’ Still I couldn’t recognize. You know who was that? It was my ‘educated beggar’ Sri J Later the voice said ‘Am Srivatsan. Remember ? Coffee shop, CAFFE AMERICANO, Rs27. At least now??’ God. The moment he said ‘Srivatsan’ I understood. But still being a girlJ…. Then I slowly reacted with a big pause ‘Oh! Yeah’.
All those days I was thinking about him and that was the only name I knew in those time. You don’t believe me, it was love at first sight. Till those days I did not believe in Love, especially Love at First Sight. But Sri changed my view. And to Sri Am not the first love J Alright, let me tell you what happened then.
We both greeted each other and he asked whether I could meet him that evening in beach. Hmmm bad guy. I was taken aback for a while. This guy he always give me some kind of shocks. I asked him was he really crazy. But my beggar said no he wants to repay my 27rupee that’s why he called me. God he was really insane. Then I replied politely ‘sorry Sri, it’s not possible for me to meet you now’. He asked why?
I told him that I was busy with my office work. Here I was trapped. Yes, when I was telling him these stories I felt an image was standing in front of me. All of a sudden my pulse rate went to its peak. You don’t believe it was my sweet idiot Sri !!!!!!!!!
I didn’t know how to react then. You must have seen my grin then. Oh! Even I couldn’t digest it now.
We both sat down and he started to talk about the coffee shop incident. I didn’t know how I spent 2 hrs with him at beach on that evening. Suddenly my phone rang. It was my mom. Now it struck me that it was 9:30 p.m. This guy he really made me mad. Then we both realized it was too late and we left.
That week went in messages and late evening calls. Not only that week, few months went like that. The next Sunday of the month came. It was my b’day. That day he called by 4 in the evening and said he wants to meet me. You know what the reason he gave for the meeting??? Rs27 J
I smiled inside. My wish was to meet him and hear him flatter. So I accepted his invitation. The place he called me was the same old coffee shop where I met him first. He told me that he will meet me there at 7 pm and I been to the shop 30min before our schedule.
The moment I entered the shop I saw him at the same table where we met and he was with a bouquet of flowers. That was a very big surprise to me. I moved to that table in a bewildered state. With a smile on his face he wished me ‘Happy Birthday’ and gave me the bouquet. I was dumbstruck. Before I could recollect what has happened, he said he wanted to pay all my bills throughout his life-time. Me dumbo gal did not understand that he indirectly proposed meJ
The clock ticks 5(in the evening). I am having the last sip of my coffee at balcony. I hear the door bell ringing. Ashwin opened the door and he shouted that grandpa got chocolates for him and his lovely sister Akshara. It’s our 60th wedding anniversary and Sri had got me a bouquet of rosesJ

Music
Life can not be imagined without music. Whether one love music or not, but music is a part and parcel in everyone's life.When we cry there is a music, when we laugh there is a music tuned by our organs. It gives pleasure,joy and what not ?
It gave me an immense pleasure during a period in my life. Later, I couldn't enjoy its essense.
