Day of miserable bosses!

Went out with Ashwin,Zubin,and Gopal to Dynasty,a chinese restaurant in G.N.Chetty Road this evening.Had a nice, animated conversation about one of the bosses in office.Was laughing the entire evening as I kept hearing so many interesting stories about people's experiences with this boss.Hilarious value,but technically no great shakes!

Vidya couldn't make it to the dinner as she was chasing a mad deadline.Helped her out with a very complicated chart and finally managed to crack it!Got her beaming smile in return,which was more than enough!!!!Nothing like making somebody happy!Good,good,good! Had chilli cheese sandwich with Pranab earlier in the evening and couldn't take the spice one bit!Of course,Subhasini called in the afternoon and did all I could to cheer her up.Poor thing, was having a miserable time with her boss!Looks like it was a day of people tired of miserable bosses!!!Anyway,managed to firm up a time to meet her sometime soon! Managed to make her laugh at the end of the conversation!

That was not all.Got a call from Leena in Bombay as well.She was totally cheesed off with her work and had no inclination to work either!Sob sob sob..another person down the track driven up the pole by a boss!Oof...!Did my bit as usual to cheer her up and well,did manage to make her laugh a wee bit.Dunno if its a skill I have to cheer up these girls..but well,they sure do seem to warm up to me,and I am not complaining!

Went around Chennai in Gopal's car,picked up my bus ticket to Bangalore for the upcoming long weekend and talked till 11.30 p.m. with him.Just burst out laughing when I heard stories of client presentations,deliverables,deadlines,recruitments,promises,meetings(not turning up for them!),and the best of them all - wrong designations!!!!Hilarious...laughed my gut out!!!

All in all, a very interesting day,where people were fed up with their bosses and I did the 'pep-talk'.Good part is I got to talk to two wonderful girls and am going to meet one of them soon!!Hehehe,blame it on guy charm!
