Rocky Balboa

Yeah, after one year from the release of the movie, i watched the movie yesterday, overall movie was good, good to see Stallone boxing and this cool accent.

I liked the conversation between Rocky and this son, when Rocky decides to fight again and his son doesn't want him to fight. Dialogues said by Rocky towards the end of the conversation are truly inspiring words of wisdom and r fact of life. Watch the movie below...

500 Roses

this is about my one of a kind valentines day experience.
i remember, i did delivery boy job/help for my friend who was in US at that time.

the story goes like this, 3 yrs back, one of my friend who was in US, he wanted me to deliver 500 roses to his girl-friend who stays in hyderabad. imagine how would i take/carry 500 roses to his girl friends place! on top of it where should i order 500 roses!

i had to contact 15-20 florist shops to order 500 roses, no person was ready to take up the order for 500 roses, that too on valentines day!!, coz there's a lot of demand for roses on that day.

finally one lady florist agreed to take the order after a lot of request/begging :-)) i ordered for the roses 2 days before the valentines day, so the day came, i went to florist shop to pick up the roses, the shop was full of people buying flowers, it was a awkward situation for me, everybody was looking at me, some were laughing, some were looking at me with there mouths open wide...some were looking at me with a strange face...

so many roses!! it actually took 3 people to carefully load them into a auto rickshaw... even the rickshaw guy was smiling at me sarcastically, i got the roses loaded in auto rickshaw, there no place left for me to sit inside the auto, so i had to escort the roses/auto on my bike...at last i was off from the florist shop to delivery the roses.

the next challenge was finding her place, it was some interior place on other side of the city, it was really difficult to find her place , it took me 3 hrs to just find her residence address... i was thinking to give up, but there was no way i could take those 500 roses back home... :-)) and besides, it was friendship that made finish the job on hand...yeah one more thing, i had to buy a greeting card also for her n write some romantic stuff on it behalf of my friend, of course the matter was sent me by my friend thru email.

and finally when i found her address/place, to my surprise, she stays in a working women's hostel kinda place, its a 2 stored independent house. when i landed up in that place with 500 roses, some 100 female eyes where giving me a piercing & curious looks, who is this fool with some many flowers :-))) then i asked one of the girl to call my friends girl friend n dumped those 500 roses at her place n said these r sent by uday (my friend) to U...after that, i just ran from that awkward spot...

yes, people out of friendship, do such things/helps :-))

When and Why does a person change his job?

when n why does a person change his job? i was asking this question to myself.. i was actually, was contemplating on changing my present job...

probably a person changes his job, when he is not satisfied/saturated with his present job, a pestering boss, ur colleagues are bunch of cunning people or fools, u work hard but still ur not recognized for ur work or u r not been given importance etc,..

yesterday, i completed 5 Years working for the present company, after 5 yrs of loyalty, commitment & hard work my counter parts in US, don't seem to be really happy...of course some of them are bunch of assholes, they don't even bother to drop a one liner email wish... this made me think, did i shamelessly worked for the same company for 5 long yrs...was this a mistake!!

of course first 3-4 yrs where good after that it was okay, but last 6 months were pretty boring & testing...we had to merge with a new company, there was this management change n all sorts of things where happening...

in these 5 yrs, i got appreciated for my work, won design awards, best performer award & some sports prizes too.. during this time, i dealt with all sorts of people. . . some really good people i fact some of them are now friends, some cunning people, some boss ass lic*ing people, n besides these, i had one of kind boss to deal with...

my overall experience in this present comapany is a mixed experience, i wouldn't say it was smooth journey... but analyzing things happening around me, the question still remains should i or shouldn't i change my job?
