17/12

Arun read the letter once again to confirm it was true, and so it was. It was not shocking news to him that he was terminated from work.

Just then, his mobile phone began to ring. He answered the call to find out that it was his colleague Imran, and learnt that Imran too had received the termination letter. Arun soon found out that many others of his colleagues were also fired from work. But none of them were sad or disappointed about losing their job. Earning lakhs of Rupees every month, they had already made a fortune. Moreover, many of them were promised a handsome amount if they let go off their jobs.

Bharath Airliners were now facing an acute shortage of pilots. They couldn’t continue with their old pilots, who went on strike every now and then. And thus the decision to terminate those staffs that were on strike, despite the warning notice, was issued. The airways now had to recruit at least one hundred and fifty new pilots so that the charts were not disrupted to a great extent.

“Yes, fifty-two it is”, said Aslam over the phone, very delighted.

“I think it is time then”, was the reply, in a commanding tone.

“Yes Sir. We are prepared. Just give us a date”, Aslam asked, a little nervous.

“17^th… 17^th of December”, came the reply.

“So shall it be”, ensured Aslam.

10:15 hours, 17th December

Breaking news: 38 planes of Bharath Airways have crashed into various locations across India. As per initial reports, at least 6400 people were on the 38 aeroplanes. From what it looks like, it seems to be a very well planned and executed terrorist operation.

The only terrorist who was caught alive after the 17/12 incident is still awaiting his fate behind bars.

And thus, all thanks to Munni, the seeds that would grow out to be a very strong friendship (or even more?) were sown.

The screen showed “Jasmine Mysore calling”.

I felt like I was staring at the screen for ages. I was unable to decide whether to tap the red button or the green one. “Take life as it comes!” My policy!

Me: Yeah, if possible v’l meet. Wil call u 2moro.

Jasmine: Okays, gud night.

Me: Good night. Take care.

And that was the end of the day.

Train Gain

After deciding on how to write this article up, I was confused as to what would be an appropriate heading? I had two options, Train Gain and Train Pain. I finally decided I would go by the Gainers’ side!

If it all whilst reading this article, you feel that I am being sarcastic, doubt not, for I intend all offence!

And we walked in opposite directions.

“Turn back and call her now” I thought to myself.

Many people entered the bus, but none of them were to sit beside me. And enter!

“Yippee...!”

Emily, Meera and I planned to go home on the 7th of May, 2010. It was for the first time, since I joined as a trainee at Infosys Mysore, three months ago, that I was going home. A friend, Jayaram would book the tickets for Emily and Meera. The two of them would be going on one bus to their hometown in Thodupuzha and me on another to Kannur.

The Kick-Off

I wanted to start blogging with a very good post. For two to three days I was thinking of an appropriate topic to write about. That is what delayed the posting of Home SWEETEST Home. And at last I got a topic to write on. What better topic other than “My Parents and Family” would one get to start off? Yes, I will be writing about my parents and my family in this post.

Home SWEETEST Home

I started posting Home SWEETEST Home on May 10th, 2010 on the InfyBlogs. It is the same Home SWEETEST Home that I would be posting here with a more enriched content. Prior to posting Home SWEETEST Home, I had posted an intro on InfyBlogs, and same goes below:

Home Sweet Home

Renovated

OK. So I guess this is it.

Changed the name of this blog to "BlackBOOK". This is the same name of the blog that I own in Infosys.

When I created this blog space on September 13, 2009, I actually didn't even know what a blog meant. Since then this is the 3rd post on the blog.

Now, thanks to InfyBlogs, I have learnt what is blogging and what all to blog about.

Hopefully, from today on, I can post regularly on the BlackBOOK, much like the original BlackBOOK on InfyBlogs.

Highly appreciate your comments/suggestions/complaints on each blog post starting today.
