Yeah..!!!! Finally after almost 1.5 yrs of endless struggle I have some vela time to myself :-)
In normal IT world this time is called "Bench Time" but my organisation has an entirely innovative name for it..."BEACH" ....it took me a while to make peace with this word...the first few times I heard it,thought I'd mistakenly heard it as such ...
So Beach time or "On the Beach" is the time when you are rolled off the responsibilties of a never-ending project (I can blabber endlessly on how outrageous this project was but let's not get into it now).
There's this endless toil & hardwork u've put in for months together & u get so much involved in it that u literally start seeing the biz codes in vehicle number plates...spend sleepless nights & weekends trying to get things together to come outta the "GO-NO GO" phase wen one mrng u r jus kicked off....Gosh it hurts... !!!
Atleast I had my ego bruised a bit ..thn there's more to it..u get nasty reminders & emails...pls log u r time by eod to update ur resume, ppl are after u for documents & last but not the least..."vacate ur place email"
This is wen the word beach makes complete sense as u r literally stripped off ..u have no place, no responsibilties...no work....
But look at the positive side..it took me 10 mins to take the anger & frustration out & it was an amazing feeling..I felt like a free bird...this burden that I carried on my head for so long was just gone...!!!
I had so many things to think about..the first thing I did was book my tkts...break time..time to go home...
(Home is word IT ppl use for their hometown...no wonder where we live "ghar/home" is where ur parents stay & u visit ..best destination to get recharged)
So I had this fun filled trip home ,caught up the dandiya fever & came back a refreshed person ...
The past few weeks have been good given the rigorous routine I have had from past 1 yr..was 200% occupied with setting up both home & data ...;-)
This is something that goes more with the word beach...now that the picnic's gonna be over,
"I'm gonna miss this beach!!"

I smiled reading 'dandiya'. home comes first and dancing close second. Especially with people who are jst as bad as dancers as you are.. :)
