To well- wishers , with love

i love the way people call you when you have quit... "what do i hear, you have put in your papers, really?", "oh! what a loss to the company" and i am like yeah, i can bet all those who say this have no clue what i did all along in this company :P . Some come up to me and ask in such concerning and friendly way, as if all my important decisions in life were taken after consulting them.
And then answering the ever-inevitable question "so where are to heading to?" - i mean come on guys you know you wouldn't get an answer on that, yet they all just love asking it. What more if i do give them an answer most of them just don't really believe. And then theres more to it "yeah?" "really? " "oh, so in Delhi or somewhere else"... yeah like we are playing some 20 questions to the answer game!
So i have a solution now, for long people in my company believe, actually not believe almost swear by the fact that i am heading to X place, so X be it!!! yes guys i am heading to X!!! you guys always knew it, i was bluffing all the way.
At least this saves me the worry of remembering and repeating the same old story of how "i have a couple of options"...damn! guys but i had started loving it now. *sighs*

"The magician shows you something ordinary: a deck of cards, a bird or a man. He shows you this object. Perhaps he asks you to inspect it to see if it is indeed real, unaltered, normal. But of course… it probably isn’t. The second act is called “The Turn”. The magician takes the ordinary something and makes it do something extraordinary. Now you’re looking for the secret… but you won’t find it, because of course you’re not really looking. You don’t really want to know. You want to be fooled."

SO i heard u r leaving :P

Well, the thing that came to my mind was ppl visiting someone at the hospital, everyone asks the same qs, it wud be better if we give out leaflets with the entire story in it....

the second scenario was my bros wedding, everyone came up to me and had the same thing to say "So when r u getting married, Love marriage hi karega..."

I guess ppl feel the urge to fill in the silence.....

and btw PRESTIGE is a fab movie, u saw it on dvd kya???

who gave it to u :P
