6 things about our childhood adventure

Now that Sen has tagged me...well m writing about 6 things about our childhood ...

1)When we were kids mom used to usually treat us with home made ice cream...well she even does now (my mom is so cool even today she distributes ice cream in such a way that each one of us think we are given more than other ...hehehehe) so one day my elder sister said lets have a contest ... lets see who finishes the ice cream the fastest (wherein the person who comes first will be peacock ,second Koyal and the last one will be crow) ... my younger brother being in a real competitive spirit became peacock ...then me Koyal... We look at my sister who is nicely licking at the spoon and her plate was full of ice cream (in short woh humko jala jala kar kha rahe thi )...both me and my brother looked at her and her plate (full with ice cream) and each other and complained ... two things we learned that day ... no competition between siblings and second being the eldest has its disadvantages too... mom scolded my sister and gave me and my bro second helping of ice cream hehehehe...

2)When Dad brought our first oven ,my mom used to bake cakes ... lots of cakes... one day my brother kept asking for more and more pieces of cake ,mom was glowing with pride ("my son loves the cakes which I have baked "-mom thinking) and then he said it...."aapka cake crow logoko bahut aacha laga"... it was later we realised that he distributed the cakes to the crows and needed more pieces as there were more crows to feed...

3)We loved our magic plate... it had properties of cooling tea/milk in less time ...my sister was the one who was most obsessed with the magic plate ...it was much much later we realised that mom had coined the term magic plate so that we would drink our tea/milk without creating any scene or any fuss...

4)Well the event which I am writing now used to occur every twice a year (without fail) i.e when we were in school...I was good in drawing also I was (actually still am )very early sleeper and just before I would go to sleep my brother would come to me saying "Akka ,will u do some drawings and complete my drawing book for me?I have my exams".(that is the only time he used to call me akka).I would say sure i would do it tomorrow and he would say tomorrow 5th and -6th (ie around 10.30 am) period is my drawing exam.So i would be awake till 1. 00 am painting rainy day / Independence day/Ganesh Chaturthi /Diwali etc etc and yelling at my brother at the same time...

5)Every summer holiday we used to take out Kitchen set and cook actual food ... well it would be disaster cooking i.e imagine 8-9 yr old girls cooking along with their barbie toys ...we used to take 3 bricks and make a stove and adjust and cook ...it was so much fun...once even I took part...I was only 5 yrs old then I made RASNA (I was not allowed to use fire) ...By the time Sen and all completed their cooking .... I had already boiled my Rasna (as a fly had been swimming in it as I did not cover it)

6)When I was a kid I was a Home technical device disaster...I mean whatever I touched would stop working .Radio ,video,video games were the most frequent tools which would stop working as soon as I touched...however now things have changed ...Nowadays I (try to) fix the printer in my office without bothering the IT support .I have learnt solution to any PC or technical problem is restart your PC :-)...

Ms LM has shifted...

I am staring hard at my desktop...but out of the corner of my eye I can see them coming my way...but still I act like am engrossed in my work and am not paying any attention to them ...and then it happened ..."where are Ms LM and Ms AF? "...I look at them and say they have shifted next to the utlities room... over there (pointing at utilities room )... they say "Ohhhhhhhhhhh is it ?" and they are gone....
That was the 100th time I have repeated the same sentence in past 7-8 days...
Ms LM works in Admin and she is the sole incharge of disturbuting food coupons ...
Earlier we used to share the same bay (ie Admin and Nostro)...however 7-8 days back they moved to new bay leaving me to answer to all those poor souls with "No coupons no Food " look in their eyes...
The day they moved I was taken aback when a guy asked me for food coupons..."Do I look like a person from Admin?" I thought (but then its not his fault I dont have any board which says m not in ADMIN ...mayb he thought m in admin as we share the same bay) ... but then I told him politely "They have shifted next to the utlities room... over there" (pointing at utilities room )

Since that day I have been answering all the people with "No coupons no Food " look they have shifted next to the utlities room... over there (pointing at utilities room )
I even tried few techniques like staring at the pc so that they don't come near me, sometimes getting up from my place or getting engrossed in reading some hardcopies of some files I dont need in first place or acting like I have not seen or heard them ... I even told Ms LM to send a general e-mail to all the people in the floor (we have around 900 people working in our floor) about them moving to a new bay (but she didnt send one ...I dont know why)
The people with "No coupons no Food " look would think its my duty to reply them and would go without saying thank u or anything ... those good souls who did I used to sliently say (taraki karoge)
When I am not around the same procedure was followed with our other team members ...we were really bugged ...somtimes i really enjoyed it though ...we would look at the people walk all the way 4-5 bays ahead/back us 2-3 times before coming to us asking for Ms LM... or use terms like aur ek bakara/bhatki aa gaya ... My manager used to pull our legs by saying why dont u guys actually take the responsibilty of disturbuting Food coupons and laugh at his own PJ(POOR JOKE)
And then one day I had it ...this guy came and asked for Ms.LM I replied him politely and the next moment I started working on something...my colleague saw what I was doing started laughing ...she said "u cant b serious ... this is not ur job"... but I had no option took a print out and pasted the printout on Ms LM ex-WS(work station)...the print out in BIG BOLD letters read
"Dear All,
Ms LM and Ms AF have shifted to near WS no 000 near the utlilites room"
The printout looked good and I was proud of it ...to add more art to it my colleague TS even drew an arrow pointing the utlitlies room (i felt so good i was tempted to write Script by DIV Art by TS ) ...and now we were waiting for some one to come ....pls come and read it ... but no one came (same thing happens when u need an auto u will never find one and when u dont need any 10-12 will be dancing in front of u) and then he came ...looked around saw my printout and went staright to Ms LM....we were thrilled "Mission Accomplished"... we all said Taraki karoge (to the guy silently)
So when we all were in our good mood ,a batch of 2-3 more people came ...read the printout ...we were all beaming with pride ...she looked at me asked "where is the Utlilites room?"

:-(

As for me I had no option but to say "They have shifted next to the utlities room... over there" (pointing at utilities room )

Gone in 60 secs...

Ok ...after reading Sen's Mr Briefed and Vin's Mr Red eyes post now I am inspired to write my story which starts and ends in 60 secs :0)... This incident took place 2 yrs back...
Day 1 (2 yrs ago)
My mom tells me someone will come to see you in the office ...your cousin called blah blah ...(why office ?I think ... so that the entire office will know I have an alliance ... of course that's why ... and they get one more chance to pull my leg ...ok so this is my first official proposal...meaning meeting someone in person...) I just nod my head and say ok...
Day 15 (2 years ago)
Today come what may I have to finish the reporting in an hour which has to go to the top mgmt...and this stupid cold ...I cant breathe properly..I have been working hard on this report for the past 4-5 days no proper meal ,no sleep and at any cost this report should go,plus I have my routine work...but i know i can handle this .
Just then my super boss passes by (back of my mind I can hear the JAWS music ie when the shark arrives ...yes that music comes to my mind automatically whenever she is around..."U remember right" she tells me ...the music getting louder... "yes mam...it will be on your table soon" I say in a croacky voice ...shit this cold ...
My phone rings... the security ..."Madam aapko S bahar bula rahe hai? " ..I say Ok... S from Audit and compliancewala... what work does he have ...did I not submit any report...does he have any problem with draft report ...
I come out and look around ...no sign of S... I ask security ...he replies points at a person "ji yeah S"...I look around to see a well dressed guy,neatly combed hair with tie and all ...
Count down start 60secs...
I go ahead ..He says "Hi m S ...hope u were informed about me" ... i stare at him blankly ... "I think your cousin must have spoken about me coming to meet u"... flash back to day one mom saying something about meeting...office...alliance...
45 secs "Ohhh yeah !!!I reply in croacky voice ... (I forgot ...shit ...)
40 Secs "Ok !!!He says I had some work nearby ... so came around...so can we go around for lunch now "
30 secs " Actually no I have some important work and its not possible" I reply in croacky voice ...
He looks at me ...I know m not dressed for the ocassion and he looking at me, is not making this any easier...m not prepared for this....and icing on the cake... my big red nose thanx to the cold...
10 secs ...Ok I will give you a call...bye ...
3...2...1...0 he is gone...

I head straight to the ladies room...on the way met my colleague asking "who was that?" loudly on purpose...I smile saying he wanted me to open an account in his bank...
Once in the ladies room...shiviring ...what happened just now....
First I clean my nose so that I can breathe... then look at myself in the fulllength mirror... look at me...I m a total mess... my hair tied into a knot... wearing a dress which is not altered ... no sign of make up...

I go to my desk... and call home... my mom yelling at me ..."what is wrong with ur cell...is it not working ...I have been trying to get in touch with u...blah blah blah... I look around ... JAWS talking to someone and i can hear the music loud and clear.... (my report ...it has to go...) "Ok Mom will call you soon...by the way S was here the guy about who cousin was talking about... meeting was ok...he said he would call me ( atleast this will stop the yelling for sometime...I really feel bad for her... she has high hopes...)

Present Day
And for the record still not received that call...

INTRODUCTION

Hello...welcome to my Blog ... I am Div here... and many might be confused as to what paccashanna is? Well it is "pacca shanna" (meaning oversmart - its a pet name forced on me) and here is the story how I was titled the same .
When I was 3-4 yrs old ,I went to my cousins house and learned few words (pacca shanna being one of them) and when I returned home I would only answer by saying "pacca shanna" and hence rest is history ...So many years have passed but nobody forgets...
Since past few days my sister and friends are really making me nuts ie create a blog and write stuff ...I tried to resist but alas!!!So here I am... trying my hand in writing...people bear with me..."woh kya hai ki is field mein nayee hoon":)
