The day I threw water on a girl

This is incident happened in the cafeteria where I am working. Well, I just had joined my project and was having lunch with my friends. I finished my lunch earlier than them and while they were at it, I waited for them to finish their lunch. I held a glass of (what else) water in my hand.

As I was waiting, I saw this girl from my office (she had given me training) coming and I sat leaning back on the chair with my legs crossed looking at her. And then suddenly it happened. For some reason I started getting a feeling that I was sinking. And yes, it was happening. The right back leg of the chair started going down. The chair was going down , I was trying to get up, the chair was going down, I was trying to get up... And it continued till I was down on the floor with a very awkard posture. More than the fact that I had gone down, I was more concerned with my embarassment. You don't see people going down like that always, and believe me you won't like it happening to you. My friends saw me going down (slowly of course- maybe they were shocked to help me immediately) and rushed to pick me up from the floor (sorry chair). The entire cafeteria was abuzz (with some having their on their theories).

After all these happened, I started hearing some girl saying "Shit", "Shit". Now in all these confusion I didnot know I had thrown the water from my glass on her ( I was struggling for balance you see). That was the height. Falling down and then turning around to find a girl irritated. Luckily for me, she turned out to be quite nice and politely asked me what had happend (as if I knew what happened) and just smiled at me. That saved the day.


I told my friends that it was better they finshed their lunch while I waited outside...better for me.

Another adventure in Hyderabad.

Enjoy the adventure...

Well here is an adeveture story....

I and one of my friends had just finished our MCAD (Microsoft Certified Application Developer, yea folks I am now Microsoft Certified.. :)) exam, and well the next thing to do was to chill out. So we opted for one of the obvious choices- watching a movie. The show was supposed to start at 9:45 pm according to some of our friends ( we came to know later it was a wrong assumption, movie was at 10). We coolly decided to have our dinner and leave at 9 pm (by the way the movie was Rocky Balboa, or Rocky Six). It was another matter we all started at 9:30 pm (yea tensions began-we might be late). There were 8 of us and the decision was to hire an auto...

Now one of my friends, he is one of the best bargainers you'll see... He bargained so nicely that instead of us going in 2 ricks, we all travelled on a single one. Imagine 9 ppl (include the driver please if you have counted only 8) in a single ricd- 3 at the front and 6 at the back. Well none of us had this experiece before and we were like on top of the world doing something so adventurous.

So finally we reached the theatre, got the tickets and went in. Now, the theatre was all empty- somewhere around 20 people. You might be thinking the story ends here. Well think again. We bought tickets for the wrong movie! The problem was, a single compound had two theatres and we went to the wrong one. So it was a mad dash to cancel our tickets and then to the other theatre. Finally, we had our tickets and saw the movie, again with a small audience.

And yea we came back in a single rick....
