Its true that the blunders just happens.. And most times it happens unknowingly unless someone is very specific on screwing others life!!
It was in the noon when a lady walked up to us from blue while my teammate and I were seriously working... She just asked may i know who is Prathima...
Before even i could say its me, my team mate enthusiatically said her name.. This put the stranger in confusion coz my team mate's name resembled my name and has only 1 letter which is different...
Lady: errr......i am now confused by the names.. i assume the manager asked me to meet prathima..
Team mate: Its ok... We both can give you the same info so its ok to talk to any one of us..
Me: Still smiling... What’s your name?? New member to our team??
Lady: yeah, myself Smitha and Yeah, new to this team..:)
Me: Oh cool, welcome.. get on board :)
Team mate: Nice :) Experienced?? Which technology?
Lady: Yeah... was working on XYZ company till date..
Me and team mate: Cool, nice :)
Lady: So can you tell me abt this prjt?? May be i will try to get to know a bit..
Me: Hmm... whole of this floor works for the same prjt.. and our team stretches till (pointing at few cubilces) there..
And then a bit of blablabla just to give her some rough idea abt the client..
Team mate: (Got fully charged by our client's name).. Umm... and u knw what... there is No good things to tell abt our client.. No guddy bags.. No that..No this... Nothing!! Dabba prjt!!
Me: (got influenced) ya ya.. True.. (Added all the humming needed to keep my team mate talking and assured that what ever she utters is true)
And we giggled for some time as that was our usual fun time.....
We then asked the lady to join us to collect the FREE coupons allotted to women as part of "Celebrating women’s day" in ground floor...
Team mate: In this project there is no hope of getting coupons, so let’s collect the coupons sponsored by the cmpny!!
All the 3 rushed to the door..
Next scene -> Ground floor:
No coupons were left as we were late..
Me: Ohhhh!! This sucks!! We dint get even this!! Time kharab chal raha hai shaayad!!
Lady: That’s ok.. Next time :)
Me and team mate: Oh god!! This cmpny cannot get more coupons is it!! Sick ppl!!
Next scene -> Next day :
A mail popped into our mail box from our manager which said "Kindly come to Meeting room to invite the new TL Ms.Smitha"
Me and team mate: Almost slipped from the seat!! Jaws sagging!! Shocked!! Cold fingers!! and the voice in unison, "She was our TL" oops!!!!! We are dead today.. We might get thrown out of this project to have praised abt all the bad points of this client!!
Gosh, we asked only her technology and never thought who the hell she was!!
Next scene -> Meeting room:
TL: Smiling :)
We: Confused, regretful, sorry, run-away mood...Still smiling :) :) Lol!!!!! One hell of a blunder!!!!

Thats the beauty of life! Hope you both have a good time with your new TL.
Nice to see you here again after quite some time :o)
Heleloooo..
Nice 1.. As usual. i n''''joyed.. as i use to njoy our lunch time chit chat when u were in iGATE.. :)
Hahah I remember, talking shit about my TL in the washroom, totally pissed off and I didn't know she was peeing in one of the toilets. She comes and tells the same in the meeting, quite with a red face :P
And I was like wtf.
The best part was she didn't know who it was because of the rapid flow of water at the sink maybe? :P
Yeah rite, my friend and I were like rofling at the fact at the later part of the day.
So blunders do happen. Especially, when not needed.
Nice post!
Blunders happen everytime... some silly... some costly...
@ Prashanth: The TL still reminds us abt our convo with her and we have a round of laughter :)
@ Pragya: Hey sweetie :) Long time.. No see!..
How are you??
@ Esther: welcome to my blog :)
Its very true that the washrooms are the most dangerous place for gossips and complaints... My TL had called for 1:1 connect session after she had heard few of my friends speaking fowl abt her at washrooms ;)
@ Suresh : Yeah..few blunders just spoils the essence of friendship..
