INTRODUCTION

one of the formal definitions of the above word is " formally making a person known to another or to the public".
Nowhere in the list of definitions did it say TORTURE.
yep thats what it is, when you have to introduce urself to almost 100 ppl from different depts. As if thats not bad enough i wasn't allowed to say my name, i had to give clues and ppl had to guess.
God's nectar, and starts with the first letter of the alphabet.
Can anyone get more clear about it???
i doubt it.
and ppl i had assigned to guessin my name, made me wait for a few more torturous moments before they finally helped me out of my misery.
Yes i can be thankful that i wasn't asked questions. But i'm not feeling very optimistic rite now. Its like getting a finger cut off, and instead of crying in pain u thank god ur other fingers are intact. (OK well i am exaggeratin a bit, but u get the point... if u don't, call me and we'll discuss).
My view to all this, if u're interested is that i am an interesting person(even if i have to say so myself ;) ) and everyone else around me is interesting in their own ways too. so why does anyone feel the need to force us into intros??
yea so a 100 odd ppl in the co now know my name? do i know any of theirs??(apart from the ones i knew before)................ NO
So what was the big point??
except i think that it gave some ppl a gr8 deal of pleasure.
Not that i'm complaining.
HA HA

Man i always thought the world was small, but just how small??

Really Really Small. Believe me.

in the last 2 weeks i have met, recieved mails, or chatted with a whole load people who i lost touch with for yrs....

and get this
we found that we have a whole load of common friends/ colleagues. i caught up with 2 guys from my primary school, a girl from my 10th std, 2 guys from college, a girl who is the sister of my college classmate.
for five yrs after my 10th i didn't stay in touch with my classmates except a few(for many reasons). but now we are all on orkut so whether ppl like it or not everyone has a medium of contact.
a colleague of mine from infy is here at de shaw...
and a couple more.
