Change is good.
How do you feel after a tough day at appice? (Office)
You are tired, your senses are down and eyelids are drooping, right?
Last night, I was having a simple chat with my ex Manager. This was in the cab and we were discussing cricket, Tamil movies, (though I hardly know how to speak the language, I surprised him with my knowledge of movies) politics, Abhishek and hordes of other stuff. Suddenly out of the blue he says:
Ex: You have a blog, right?
Me:
Me:
Me:
Me:
(Silence)
I was too stunned to speak. How the. ... Who the...?
A colleague who was sitting next to me thought that I had fallen asleep and so gave me a nudge. Little did he know that I was staring at my ex-manager, with my mouth wide open.
Me: Err... How do you know?
Ex: (With a smile) Try guessing.
Me: (I hate guessing, but fortunately I am good at it. I start racking my brains, its very small and compact, I meant my brain and so I found the answer.) Renith.
Ex: Yes.
(Renith was the first person to comment on my blog and maintains a Photography site. (Check it out http://photomaze.com). An ex-colleague , a superb photographer, who has won lots of awards , was on radio and thinks he’s Bangalore’s Papparazzi.He promised to take me along on his next model shoot , of course as a light boy. I think the " blog topic" came up a year ago and Renith had nonchalantly mentioned that I had a blog. )
A few other people, who were eavesdropping, turned to me and asked me:
They : What's a log?
Me: A log is a big piece of wood. Did you know as we speak some guy in Brazil is cutting a tree to make toothpicks? (Vc shakes his head; damn I should have been an actor).
They :( Confused) No not log, Blog... yeah what's a blog?
Me: A blog. Oh a blog. .... Wow check that superbike ( of course it had a hmmmmm hmm chick). I'm sure its a Ducati never seen one in this area.
(Everyone turns around to take a look at the Ducati). The conversation soon turns towards Moto GP, Valentino Rossi ,Marco Melandri and Max Biaggi .
I give a sly smile; maybe I should write a book titled " How to change topics in 2 minutes “.
