Nazia's life...her own way!

Good morning World!

Feeling blessed on a Sunday morning. Reason? 

You.

I was inundated with pings yesterday, with only one question. “Nazia, where is your Saturday morning blog?”, “Why didn’t you write today?” J

Finally at the fag-end of the day, I had to put up an explanation as my status update on FB, narrating why I couldn’t write J Nonetheless, I am really overwhelmed with the response my blog has been getting lately. Some of my besties have confided in me that, its become an integral part of their weekend now, kind of a ritual…wake up late on sat, log in to the net and read my blog with their refreshing cuppa! J This is how they kick start their rocking weekend! So thrilled to be part of all your lives, not physically but yet through a very profound medium…through words! Let me borrow Ronan Keating’s lines here, to express myself… “Its only words….words are all I have…to take your heart away!”

I am not sure, how many of you have browsed through the Sunday column titled, “Single girl in a city” on TOI. That column (Now defunct) was the inspiration behind this blog of mine, specially the decision to blog on Saturdays only. (That was by design not by default). And that is exactly where the similarity ends. In that column the girl is a model in Mumbai, its about her life and daily happenings.  My job might not be as glamorous and happening as that, but its definitely more satisfying and involves multidimensional shades of different personalities. I take great pride in the fact that I have influenced (unintentionally, of course) some of my closest friends to get into HR profession J. Now even my roomie is all set to tread on the road not taken! J So it goes without saying, that I love my job and am extremely passionate about it. I face this oft-repeated question, “Nazia, why do you always end up bringing your organization/job related stuff into your blogs?” How can I NOT? Tell me? I live, eat and breathe my work, my org, my profession. And I feel, this commitment really helps me to excel at my work. Doing my work half-heartedly, has never been my prerogative. If I am doing something, I give it my 200% and if possible more. I would be completing 3 years at Infy on 27^th July. 5 individual awards, 4 team awards. And yes, I am not ashamed to say, “Yeh dil maange more!” J Yes, I yearn for more…lots more J

Ok, now that I have laid the doubts of my loving critics to rest, let me discuss about the movie, Spidey. J

I am a complete movie buff. I enjoy all kinds of movies, especially in theatres. Spidey was one of the best that I have watched in recent times. The protagonist is definitely a notch better than the earlier chocolate boyish, Peter. And more believable. The girl is mesmerizingly beautiful! With those huge saucer like ocean blue eyes, how can you not fall in love! J Special effects simply mind blowing and loved the naughty last line of the movie, “Promises are meant to be broken” Youngsters these days, want to keep life simple, make promises…break it too as per their convenience. Now that might open up issues of ethics etc, but frankly speaking…who has got the time? More so, when the promise you made it to, is dead. (Father of the girl).

My beloved critics have raised one more point. That I need it to keep it short. So closing this at 600 words. J

Love you all, stay cool and yes…keep it simple!

Cheers!
