Luckily or unluckily my PL had assigned no work for me till 11.30am yesterday, so there I was... reading all the mails which my friends had forwarded and few company internal mails :)
I was in the “think out of the box” mood…. So, it was easy for me to solve few math riddles and which my friends had sent in the mails.
I read few company internal mails… First was from the HR and the second was from Internal service provider…
Happened to read one of the mails from HR which introduced us to the three newly appointed Business experts… I had no interest in knowing them, as I knew I would never be directly reporting to them :) Still, I read it for the heck of knowing who they are…
I don’t know if I can call that mail funny or the way I interpreted sounded funny to me! Anyway, let me tell u…..
The common details what was given abt all the three hifi techies were: University in which they completed Masters; Their total experience as business experts; Their re-allocation to other state in US; and about their family…
Since the last point was of no importance to us, I was wondering why someone would mention such details!! I felt few sentences funny…to mention a few:
“… will be relocating to California with her husband, son and their three dogs.”
“… is the proud parent of three girls and is a native of Washington DC”
“… recently married this past April and has adopted a retired racing greyhound named Aries”
Now, let me tell u my interpretation from these statements…
First one is ruled out from all the guys list as she is married and the last part is a warning!! Beware of dogs!!
Second one, he has three daughters… Hmmm… he has enough… now start thinking...
Third person is a victim of late marriage was the impression.. For all those who don’t know abt the lovely greyhound….well, it’s a breed of dog!! :)

In the second mail, there was a cooking contest sponsored by Gemini cooking oil. The subject of the mail was “Do u have a KILLER recipe”!!
The obvious answer was Yes!! In fact, most of us who are new to cooking will have a doubt in the corner of their mind about the result of their experiment. Anyway, getting back to the mail, it said “win exciting goody bags” i-e if the recipe is short listed… I was thinking about the plight about the person who is going to taste the Killer recipes…lol!!
I have got strict orders from mom to test my recipes before serving others… So, quickly I realized that my recipe won’t be considered :( as I cook only vegetables which are edible and non poisonous :) (That’s why I am still alive….)

By the time I could jump to other mails, my PL was back to his seat… This obviously meant that he had plans to load me with work which I was waiting for since 3 hr! My intuition said me that this 3 hrs is going to be compensated in the later part of the day :(… Yet another long day was welcomed with a smile and a sad heart:) :(

@Suresh
Well... I had joined as a fresher:) So, we dint get introduced the way these Business experts who have 15+ exp got:)

I dont agree that girls need time till they get married to master the art of cooking as they can always try their pre-marital cooking on their pets!! lol!!!
