Confessions Of A Server

The following was produced by wordpress.com. Kool stuff. Gives me an idea to be more creative.

Confessions Of A Server

OH MY! Life is so unfair! What did I do wrong to be born a server in this day and age? I could have been a nice simple bicycle that people happily rode around on all day. But no, I’m stuck inside this metal case serving web pages instead. I never even see the light of day and all I can hear is the rush of the air-conditioning!
Well, no more! I’m relaxing here with a cup of tea and a biscuit until someone shows me some love and attention.

It never takes them long to fix me when I kick up a fuss so check back in a few minutes and I’ll be chugging along merrily again.!

Signed,

Attack of BSOD:Embarrassment at ATM

Posted by – March 11, 2006

This has not happend to me first time. I really have some problem with my memory. But this happened first time with critical data. The ATM Pin no.
I needed some cash. Good I have an ATM Card. From the begining of year2K, I was using ATM. My savings helped me to maintain minimum balance easily and people around me were jealous of my any time money status. So today again I reached bank, and took out my ATM card from my wallet with style. Stood in que. And as soon as my turn arrived I was using my any time money power. Inserted card. Enetered pin. Chose transaction. The machine again asked me the PIN which I promptly entered. But it was not my day. I had skipped breakfast which I rarely do. Breakfast is good for body and brain. I was confused. I again entered the pin. Again declined. Again entered and a sad smily reported me,”Your transaction has been denied.” and machine spitted a slip and my card. I was more confused. I again repeated the process and machine again did the same. After 3rd slip, I thot I must approach bank. But wait, what was I entering?
And I realised my misstake. The bank authorities explained me that I hav exceeded my number of tries for Pin no and now I must wait till 2mro.
Embarassment. Lot of embarassment.

Speechless

It has been raining in Chandigarh since morning. Being a so-so earning guy I am not in a position to get hold of a Merc SL car. I will prefer Tata Safari though. There is no vehicle that attacts me more than a Tata Safari. So I was holed in my room. Sumit with me. Hitting keyboard @35wpm and trying to pass our time so that rain stops and Sumit may leave for his place and me for dinner. My landlord called me, “Chetan, come downstairs. Dinner is ready.”
Me confused
They again repeated and this time they asked to bring sumit also.
Sumit suddenly jumped from his seat, “Man, I am leaving. My dinner is ready at my place. Vicky must be waiting.” Vicky his roommate.
But my landlords were determined. They forced both of us to sit around a dinner table and have dinner.
I felt like being at home. The same taste of cooked food. No spices. Simple. Full of desi ghee, clarified butter. Sumit said, “Yaar, mom forces me to eat ghee when am at home.”
My landlady, a 60+ lady, asked me with a scolding tone, “Why don’t you ask me for dinner? Even you don’t ask me for tea. What is your problem?”
This wasn’t enough, her husband joined her, “Son, dont feel like you are away from home.”
Suddenly, I was again at home. I can provide n number of stupid excuses but at that time I was speechless. Not a word came out. I was just trying to escape the situation.
My mom dad are like my landlords. I don’t remember how many people have eaten at our place. My parents always treated a guest as god. True to Indian saying.
Atithi devo bhava : A guest is like GOD.
My parents call this Sanskaar or good values.

Changed

2AM. Nothing.
7AM. Thundering and clouds. Its raining.
Weather in Chandigarh has suddenly changed.
Nature.
And we humans?
“Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet.” ~ Agent Smith in Matrix

Yestrday, I pressed my small team and at the end they finished the job. I rewarded them with small dinner. They thought Chetan Sir is angry on some issue. I was not. Just a normal change in behaviour. I got firm and said, “Do or die I need this job done today. I wont let you guys go home and sleep. Don’t worry about dinner. I will be the host.”
Am happy about achieving the target.
Now, another day another target.
