My first blood donation.....

I donated blood today. Its the first time i am donating blood. You dont feel the pain at all, just a little bit of weakness. I think everyone of us should voluntarily donate blood.

Seeing my personality, he first checked my weight and then told me to eat something. After we returned , the person at the blood donation centre asked me where i was working etc.., just to take my eyes from the injection. That reminded of my childhood, when doctor used keep talking to us before giving injection. The blood pouch is kept at a place where i cant see ( thats because some people faint seeing their own blood)

Anyway, the other good things about blood donation apart from that it saves someone's life is:

1. Can go home early for a couple of days sighting weakness. (My boss doesn't my blog even after repeated requests, so no worries)
2. Eat and drink (juice ofcourse) before and after donation.


Seriously, i am really feeling great this day...

Sania Mania...............

The lastest pin up gal of Indian sports was in Bangalore for the Bangalore Open. And how could i miss an opportunity to see her ? Me along with two of my colleagues Ganesh and Ramesh where there at the KSLTA tennis stadium on VALENTINE DAY to see her. (I hope that the word in Capital Letters stresses why we choose that day) and then there was Dilip Shenoy (in pic) to accompany us. Dilip was there at 3pm, the first person to reach the stadium (even before the players) was treated with puffs and tea by the ticket vendor, we were told.

We three reached at 5.30pm straight from our office. (needless to say leaving pending work behind) Sania's match had not yet begun. We were lucky to get the front seats. Since we reached there from office, we could not bring huge Sania posters. Who was the opponent ? I dont know. Nor was I interested in scores. We were there just to WATCH HER, play ofcourse.

Coming to the match, she hit the ball really hard. She's a bit too erratic which along poor serves are her handicap, which fails her against good opponents. Actually we were lucky, she lost in singles the very next day. Frankly, All 4 of us were not interested in her playing style as much as watching her. She did lot of nakhras like throwing rackets.

Coming to the true point, she is damn beautiful. Perhaps more beautiful than she looks on screen. A great day and A Valentine Day worth remembering !!!!

THE 10K......

Well done BSE. I never thought I would see 10K so soon. If things happen is such fast time then i think i need to make a posting every month on Sensex scaling a new high.

The greatest thing this time was that i was actually on the trading terminal to watch that magical figure myself. Thanks to my office which posted me to Goa Branch as a stop gap arrangement. But the saddest thing was i was all alone in the office to see such a landmark event.

I must admit it seems that working in Stock Market related job is the next big thing after IT related job these days. Keep going ahead BSE, I love u.......
