Weekend at Blu O and the "real" thing

This weeked was much better.Yuvraaj Nopany ,a college buddy who shares with me a disappointment we both will never forget,and I decided to go to out together and do some bowling.We decide to go to Blu O, the biggest bowling alley in the country and the only alley with 24 lanes.Situated in Ambience Mall, which also happens to have superlative records of some sorts ,it has a pub,a cool sitting area and a serves international cuisines. Took a DTC from Karol Bagh and reached the place.

The place totally rocked.I mean I havent seen hot chicks in numbers like these.Nopany and I were "looking around", if you know what that means.As usual ,this place was very expensive. Suryansh ,my cousin, said he has been here before for a birthday party.a birthday party here??? I mean , even a breezer costs some 200 bucks, and a birthday???.....Rich people

Nopany and I started imagining a place like this in Kgp. The only spoiler being the long queues for the bowling thing. So we thought ,lets just check this place out and later forgot about bowling.It was too expensive anyways. We later went to the PVR Gold Class and watched a pathetic film.I dont remember the name.It was some bullshit about apocalypse and things like that.We both were laughing at the climax ,apparently a very serious and sad moment in the film.

The next day, Vishnu and Prachi left.I was supposed to do their work.Prachi's work was essentially to write and send footers, a cross promo ,ESPN does with each sport update it sends.I was now handling it.But the work hardly required at max 10 mins.Wonder,how she passed her time.Vishnu gave me a basic idea of how to upload pictures in the WAP sites image gallery.It was only later that I realised that he told me virtually nothing, as I took 3-4 days to understand the nitty gritties, a lesson learnt -noone gives you the details, everyonez here to impress, and as a replacement your doing a good job would take away some credit from his efficiency.Anyways, the image galleries are working now.

I met another intern called Kosal, from MICA. He is the guy who inspired me to listen to music in the office. He hated Vishnu's habit of staying late.He said, Vishnu stayed late because he started working late.Our boss likes people staying late in the office anyways. I was doing both ,Vishnu's and Prachi's work and still had so much time left.I am not praising my efficiency here, neither am I commenting on their efficiency. I am pointing to the habit of staying late in the office just to impress your boss and to have the free dinner and the free ride home. Kosal said he had been a victim of a similar practice at the place he worked before. What this practice did was ,it forced people who had a life outside office to sit in the office and do no/very little work. I found Kosal's point of view very logical and resolved to leave the office on time if I had no work.

Sent my first footers. Mr Indraneel said they were good and I was like so happy that day- my first compliment :) .

On wednesday, Mr Indraneel said, "Dekho partner, aaj raat rukna padega". I had no work anyways.Even Kosal was staying back. Had some work and after all of us were done with the work, Mr Indraneel took us out for dinner to Pind baluchi, a good restaurant I was told. They were playing 80s rock ,just the kinds I listen to.And everyone was going- This dude has a rock band as well, and I almost raised my hand to wave at my new fans, a total "Thank you Thank you ,it was not possible without you guys, muhhaaa, muhhaaa" kinda moment.

There was this lady in the team as well.I hadnt seen her before.Her name is Soumya, an erstwhile TV reporter for Sahara and now the Producer of Mobile ESPN. She was pissed off for some reason.Learnt later , that she was forced to have dinner, she wanted to leave early.She had some occassion in her family. As my uncle says, THATS CORPORATE LIFE
