maria maria

maria sharapova was here at south seaport at tennis ball's throw distance from my work place. the tennis star was here to launch a diamond studded cannon camera that is worth $10000.

got to drool at the her from a close span of 10 ft.

damn! i did not have a camera with me, and could manage couple of low resolution shots with the phone camera. i must start having a camera at my workplace.

how good is a bum ?

the other day, my counterpart in a downstream system was explaining a new requirement to me over phone, "assume i am a bum, i should have access to ... ."

i put the phone on mute, and started laughing.

that day i came to know of the fact that a business-unit-manager, in short, is a bum.

i wondered what sort of jokes/humor would be passed around by the sub-ordinates and the superiors about the bums. my mind raced, and came up with a few funny sequences. here is one of them!

a business-unit-manager calls up support team, and says "hi! i am a bum, and i am not able to see the trade."

the smart support guy, who knows that manager does not have permissions to see the trade, replies, "of course! you will not be able to."

"why?"

"because you are a bum."
