Promotion

Haha...
Feels good to be back in work again!!
Sitting here and dream how i spend this big fat salary!! hehe
It comes flashing all these!!

Diamonds and fast cars
Enough money to burn
I got my head in the clouds
I got these thoughts to churn
Got my feet in the sand
I got a house on the hill
I got a headache like a mother
Twice the price of my thrills
An it's a cold day, it's a continental drift
I said this traffic is hell
Can you give me a lift?
And I'll try to paint a story
Got your pictures to tell
Yeah you got to make a living
With what you bring yourself to sell
I got my camera back from customs
Got my law fees up to date
Hell they must have seen me comin'
Ain't this life so great
Yeah, well I'm a frequent
Gold and caviar
Now why ain't you pour my apathy
I'd have all my bases covered
If I could teach my hands to see
I said your laundry could use washing
We'll hang it up all over town
'Till your life's all nice and crisp!! Boy!!.....

"What??? Francis!! Dreaming again!"
The sharp voice woke me up! What the...
I leaned forward and pull a paper which contained the reports I'm due to submit!
While she was reading I was adjusting my comfy chair! Another 20minutes for relaxing!
She was popping her eyes! I was guessing she didn't believe what she was reading!
Asking me to meet me in her bay she left.

Ummn!! I won't be going until this dream break is over! My comfy chair creaked a bit with my leaning! I closed my eyes again when the phone in my desk rang. It was her asking me to meet instantly! I stood up and rub my face and pull my shirt together, locked my workstation and went to meet her.

Ahem!
I was called in. She looked serious.
This was a moment in my life!
My report had me in....
Whoa!! I was a new TL and that even within a very short span of 3and half months of service beating all odds of impossibilities! Over riding more experienced guys and more eligible guys!
So, more service and extra working hours and of extra pay and responsibilities!
What counts told me for my promo was my........etc...praises etc

Thanks, Praise looks good on me!

Too fast that Day!!!

It was during Christmas time that I had a visit by another Army Officer (from the Armored Division). His name was Xavier, one of my closest colleague from home. He was one step senior to me in school.

It was the funniest moment in terms of an auto ride. Xavier knows very well how to ride (of all automobile, even auto rickshaw)
We were out in Elliot's Beach one evening. Me, Xavier and one mutual friend Tluanga. We were riding a horse and had a good race! One bad thing about me is that I always wins a race! Dude Xavier was really scared!:( We entertain ourselves whatever fun possible was there. We spend around two hours and after that walked towards the road for an auto.

Now the fun start. we got our rickshaw and the driver was......
I had a number of auto rickshaw rides in and around Chennai and none drive that much fast even in the height of our hurry!

Tluanga was sitting in the other rod fenced side and Xavier sat in the middle. I peeped from the back to see the speedometre. It touch 60 miles per hour when i saw but i knew we were sometimes higher than that! Now that Xavier started holding and speak to the rickshaw man asking him to slow down but we don't want it coz we feels nice! He now said he had known how an auto can easily met with an accident but we are not listening! The driver again resume his race, he almost collide everytime when reaching a traffic and there will be always shouts from other vehicles. Cars and bikes are no match to our auto that day. what a Driver! Upon reaching our stop we were speechless!! we asked the driver his address and his mobile no. We two of us want to ride again someday in that same auto-rickshaw!!

Army do like this!!??

Its great having lots of friends who served in the Army!

Was visited by a friend from the Indian Army at this day (i rather not mentioned!).

Upon returning from our late night movies we three friends were in haste for our meals! Was so damn hungry that i feel i could gobble up a sheep!

Time is now 11:30 and there was a problem! My guest, The Army guy was in a mood to walk and scolded the auto man who in his anger made us get out! what the heck! The guy said he wanna throw up! (the creep consumed before we had entered the theater and gave a nice slip to those gatekeepers no so nice for a guy of such a prestigious post but in the Army he is my friend).
Weirdo!! continued saying he wanna walk naked but fortunately that was a joke and he didn't go for it! hmmn... Our other friend who had known him for the first time was asking if he got any problem.

We were walking and I knew that two of us were sulking! we were wide awoke! Hoping that no cops around!
Tired and with an empty stomach we were on our way reaching.
On reaching near Nungambakkam Railway Station we took the subway and when were out of the steps and as we were walking past the station entrance there was a tussle happening inside. Our wearily drunken friend saw that and he drag us towards the dark shades nearby! His eyes tells something and he pointed us what he had seen!! Hmmn...

Now there was a tussle between two lady and two men, one probably a cop. Our friend now started decorating his face with the dirts he reached by his hands. "Stop it Dude, we don't want any trouble and give us none" we whispered into his ears. "I'm not for any trouble, Just getting ready in case" He said.

We watched the events that was happening.
The two ladies were bargaining the auto man and they took the auto and now were out of sight!
The other man too happened to be an auto driver.
We too retreat with a new beautiful face and a much more awoke guy with us.
