Sleepy morning.. crazy night!
Things to avoid at a sales conference :
1)Sit behind a tall person - What's the point if you came all the way and got to hear only voices echo from 3 different speakers and a huge head with different colors is hiding your view!?
2) Forget lip balm - One of the most important things for me on ANY day.
3) Carrying a bag - Never carry a bag. Go empty handed and empty headed.
4) Forget chewing gum - a long while of silence and AC makes u wanna chew gum. So carry gum.
5) Forget a shawl - Novotel has AC blowers right above your head, so ALWAYS carry a shawl. No bag, but shawl.
6) Sit behind people with turbans - If you think changing places is ok after the first session, choose a place with no Sardar in front of you. Turbans are also equal to tall people you know.

25 random things about me
I was as usual taking my day's break by stalking people on Facebook and I came across two people's posts - 25 random things about me. I decided to list mine too. So here goes... 25 things about Pragi
1) I'm Pragathambal - though I mostly say I don't like my name - I love it! I like being called Pragi.
2) I've grown my hair to various lengths according to my mom's wishes and now I wish I hadn't.
3) I have lived away from home for most of my life and I love the independence I have. I'm never homesick, I hate that!
4) To me the most important thing is staying happy, and I try to always.
5) I love spending time with my grandparents when they are not talking about my salary or my food habits.
6) Talking of food habits, I eat a lot when I like the food. If not I waste. I've tried my best to stop wasting and I'm getting close to succeeding.
7) Over these years of school and college / friends and family - I've lost my temper and become overly patient which I now hate. I grew up trying to prove a point for everything - now I don't. I've learned to listen and I love me for that!
8) I wear Black once a week and I don't know why. I never wore pink before but now all I wanna buy is pink!
9) I sleep opposite sides on my cot - I somehow sleep better this way. I need a good conversation with someone before I go to sleep, or I cannot.
10) I'm a little fast - in everything except eating. I like to do things fast. Things that go slow don't work well with me.
11) I don't believe in horoscopes/astrology blah blah. I believe in the minute, the second. But I do make dinner plans ;)
12) I'm cranky when woken up. Very. I like sleeping till I wake myself.
13) I can stop at any paani poori waala on the road and eat. I love experimenting food from different places. My favorite so far is from Ajnabi, Fountain Plaza. :D Also, sandwich waala outside Alsamall.
14) I used to hate posing for pictures earlier, now I don't. I like having my pictures taken and I like going through them once in a while.
15) I'm super excited before my birthdays but when people ask me I hide my excitement. I love my birthdays! I sometimes have a countdown before my birthday.
16) When my laundry bag if full and my cupboard is empty - there have been instances where I took leave from college and work to wash clothes.
17) I'm a brat. Was, am, will be. I think my worst was rubbing my nanny's toothbrush on my friend's shoes when I was 12. (I think of it everyday and I feel guilty!)
18) I missed an opportunity to go to the US when I was in college. I hated myself for letting that happen. I blame myself for that though I'm not supposed to. I'm going in July 2009.
19) I eat ice cream once a week. I feel handicapped when I don't. Chocolate is a daily dose. I've passed 3 years with a resolution that I should stop eating chocolate successfully.
20) I'm used to standing in lines right from the very first boarding school I went to. So, if you see me standing behind you in any public place - That's what I'm doing.
21) I like to be left alone when I don't feel like it - but otherwise I'm the one who is speaking. Always!
22) I once dreamed that my cousin and I opening a nursery with exotic flowers and vegetables. I think of this dream once in a while.
23) I once pooped in my pants and that was the most embarrassing moment in my life ever! (I had a bad stomach!) I was 12 and that's when my nanny made fun of me and I ruined her tooth brush.
24) I thought I was a nerd in school but I wasn't. I thought I was a nerd in high school but I wasn't. I thought I was a nerd in college but I wasn't in college ever. My attendance was called Permission.
25) I love to brag about myself. Though I know I have 3 followers on this blog who know me too well. I still love to talk about myself.
There are 2 colors in my bedroom and I don't like both.
1) I'm Pragathambal - though I mostly say I don't like my name - I love it! I like being called Pragi.

How painful a 'NO' from an unknown person can be!
I somehow choose my team meetings to blog. That's when all my thoughts keep coming on the black frame under my sleepy eyes.
Two days back I was at the US consulate building for my interview. My family is traveling to the US in July for a Lions Club conference. My dad had been going through the forms and documents for over a month. It so happened that I went home 2 days before this interview day. My dad would open these papers and cross check with the checklist form the travel agent every night. I was also asked to bring my bank documents which i didn't want my parents to see. So many papers and soooo much tension. I always thought what the deal was. But it is!
My brother is completing his 12th std this year and we were all doubtful whether his would get through. Mine was not a problem as I had a letter from my company and I was pretty confident.
When we were in the line my mother and I saw a girl weeping outside the building. Probably a rejection... It was really sad to see her. Every application costs Rs 8,000. People who cannot afford it cannot keep applying!
It was sad as we went in I saw more sad faces. Our application went smooth and we were all granted visas. When we were in the line we could see that everyone before the line were with just one reaction. People after the line were of two emotions - sad and Extremely happy! I saw an equal amount of both. But as I came out I felt sad about the fact that not everyone gets what they want...and its not like they get their money back. Its sad!
Its very sad to have someone say a NO, specially someone you don't know and yet they have all the power to say a NO!

Moments when you lose the will to live...
When you are in a VC where you do not understand a thing and you feel like a loser to not contribute anything.
