One Night @ the Call Centre...

We hadn't heard from each other for a while, both of us busy on our respective jobs. One fine day as I was whiling my time surfing the net in the office, having stepped in early, she called me up. After exchanging pleasantries, she told me she was reading, "One Night @ the Call Centre" and had called me up to let me know. She still remembered my desire to read the book which I had disclosed to her almost a year back. Wow! what a memory...along with the information that she had the book came the reluctance to lend it to me as she too had borrowed it. It took me another 2 minutes to coax her to lend me the book to which she finally agreed. Is there a better telemarketeer around? After about a week's wait, the book was finally in my hands. I didn't know what to expect but my desire to read the book was totally based on the fact that I belong to the "Call centre" industry and I expected to somehow relate the story to myself. I finished it in 5 days and I mus

A dreadful month.....

If I bragged about all my achievements and glories in the month of Sep, then its only fair that I talk about the very next month, coz Oct '07 too was an unforgettable one but for all the wrong reasons. Well, I honestly feel that if one is eager enough to talk about their glories or achievements then he/she should have the guts to be able to talk about failures too because failures and successes go hand in hand. Well I will save both your time and the details coz there are very few people who would be interested in someone else's problems as each one of us have more than enough to handle our own. On the professional front, it definitely wasn't a month even worth talking about. On the personal front, I had to take some steps that I wasn't and am not yet sure of. I will let time be the judge. Though I knew that it was coming along I guess I wasn't ready to walk the dreaded path. No matter what the ultimate outcome, one thing I am sure about is, I am not going to regret

Offbeat...

What is life? Wikipedia defines it as: "Life is a condition that distinguishes organisms from inorganic objects, i.e. non-life, and dead organisms, being manifested by growth through metabolism, reproduction, and the power of adaptation to environment through changes originating internally." How I wish it could be that simple. I believe this is unarguably, the most discussed topic that we've ever come across. Many writers, poets, authors have written or spoken about it. In fact, each individual has his/her own perspective towards it. The difference is some put their views in words, some talk about it and some just act on it. For me, life's been a huge roller coaster ride with all those highs and lows. Sometimes its been a great fun and I've wished the moment never ended. There have been moments when I wished that the clock would just stop ticking but time and tide waits for none. On the other hand, more often than not, life's been so dreadful, I've been en

Sep '07 - A month that was....

Here I am, back again as promised, with something worthwhile to write about....finally. The past month was very exciting. To say that it was a wonderful month would definitely be an understatement. The very first day of the month was a cracker to begin with as I and Roshan, did a record daily billing. So, we had to celebrate and yes we did, of course with our own Royal Stag. Its like You, Me and Our Royal Stag... That was only the beginning and mom not being around only helped us. So, there we were, billing like as if there was no tomorrow and the moment the shift ended at 10, we used to run to Grand and purchase our daily quota of R.S. and snacks. There was also Roshan's tragic incident where a Sonofabitch stole his Prepaid card along with the pin number and was literally living off it. Well, its totally his fault and can't really blame anyone else coz who in their right mind would keep an ATM card and the paper with pin number together under the pillow, specially when you liv

Time Flies!!

Ohh...my gosh!!! Time really flies....the last post I published was 2 yrs back...can you believe it? I had even forgotten about this blog thing. Today being a Saturday, I usually don't have much to do so I was just whiling my time away when I came across a blog. Then, I realized I too had created one some time back. I had forgotten the login details and url but I could pull it back up, thanks to blogspot, it indeed is very user friendly. Back to myself now, looking back, these 2 yrs have been quite eventful. Though am still working in the same place but a lot has changed. Shifted to a new building, away from the hustle and bustle of Thamel. wServe has grown leaps and bounds now, still remember those days when I started the campaign with just 4 people. Now we have almost 200 people and everyone dialing for wServe. Moreover, we have started UK too. There have been ups and downs but looking back, there have been more successes than failures and that's exactly what's kept me go
