The realization hit me like a meteor. (Not that a meteor has ever hit me, nice things these meteors are) The work that I found boring and not stimulating; work that brought tears of sadness in my eyes and made me kneel down and cry. I have fallen for this work.
How and when it happened I can’t say, the process has been gradual. The Alchemist says if you really want something the whole universe conspires to make your wish come true. In my case it was just the MSEB* that had to be put in action to fulfil my subconscious wish. Consciously I have never wanted to fall for my job.
One fine day the MSEB decided to cut power for an hour or two every evening. The power would go off every evening and we would be plunged into darkness. We have backup power for the computers so work had to be continued in spite of no light. The beauty of working with just the faint light from the computer piercing through the velvety darkness spread in the office has to be experienced to be felt and appreciated.
Once the darkness fell I would be oblivious to my surrounding and just work and work. My colleagues were baffled to see this change in me. A girl who would do anything to get away from doing something constructive in the office had judiciously started paying attention to the much-neglected computer.
This continued for sometime and with each passing day I grew more loving and patient towards people around me. Oblivious I had been but not so much that I could work without able to see the keyboard or knowing what my hands would hit next. So one fine evening I lit a candle, and during that candle light work session I realised that I was besotted with my work. And thus started my rendezvous with my job.

experienced candle light dinner a few times..even studied in a candle light..but this candle light work is something new to me!
lolz i too wish that something like this happens with me too, coz i generally run away from anything remotely resembling work,coming my way.
But my office is sadly completely backed up even the lights :(, so this thing can't happen to me !! Also for ppl like me who do timepass mainly sitting on the computer are not affected by their surroundings :)
PS: thx 4 being "lost in matrix" ;)

Hmm... somebody giving orders to aliens and all... for you... nice nice...very nice.
Remember who lit the candle for you first?... someone who loves holding hands with you... someone who loves your hands... he he he... aren't u besotted with him too *innocent expression* ?

:)
DJ- do that it is great fun
Seema - huh?????????????????????
Is this some kind of an embarass bhagya drive?
Its called shaking hands Ganju and not holding hands. Its a normal practise among cultured societies. From where u come ofcourse u wouldnt know.
ME.. - I am sure u got better things to do than pay attention to what Ganju says.
>doesnt take me too much trouble to be lost in the matrix or otherwise.
ya getting lost doesnt require much trouble !! trouble is required in getting out :)
well, throw in a little bit of candle light and women will fall in love with anything... even their work.
aiyla.. abhi chupp baithna hi achcha hoga.. seema, tu bhi kalti le le kuch der ke liye..
