Third time unlucky !!!

 ”To err is human,To forgive divine,
And the error of repeating the audacity is mine

I have blogged about how one of my innocuous comment on someone’s haircut had the potential of serious
repercussions and how i had averted an embarassing situation.Close shave

count=1

“Learn from ur mistake” is one thing i have not taken very kindly to.

It actually happened that a senior person was sitting next to me discussing a project and then he got a
call on his mobile which he attended to . I overheard it was some lady talking in a US accent. So this guy
excuses himself and goes out of my “hearing range” .Impulsively, I type on my messenger window to my
colleague

“Abbey isse kisi phirang ka phone aya hai,interview de raha hai, lagta hai naukari chor dega”

and before i could press enter , a perfunctorily glance on the chat window scared the hell out of me.
I was typing all this to this very person ,who had gone to attend to his call.But thankfully,I was saved
the embarassment.

At that very moment , I decided to create a separate group of all the senior ppl in the office so that
even unconsicously I don’t give them “a piece of my mind”. So I added my VP etc. and decorated them on my
messenger under the title ‘BADE LOG’ so that they get the respect due to them.

But as luck would have it.I saw my colleague coming out of my VP’s cabin. To get a first hand account of the
office rumour ,impatiently i wrote

“kya baat kar aaye XXXXXXXX se “

and the unaware “subject” of the conversation became the unintended recipient of the message. Before I could have
realised the “bullet had been fired”.The chill through my spine, the trepidation forced me to write .

“sorry wrong window”

With the holi season coming around i thought , i should write

burra na mano holi hai

But i held on my horses to prevent further damage.

count=3

I knew i had screwed big time and so removed all those ppl whom i can unknowingly offend and so my messenger
friend’s list is left with no one but me …

PS: An interesting incident.

One of my friend got a missed call from his manager,so he saved his number under the title “GANJU”
but instead of saving his number he actually sent him a message “GANJU” and while he sat there totally
unaware of all this ,his manager came to him and showed him the message and this person actually laughed
on his face ,but he was not that fortuitous and his manager had the last laugh on his appraisal.
