office politics

i am a real apolitical creature. Office politics leaves me cold. i have always tried to steer clear of it. As it is, with my outspokeness, i can never be politically correct. But i don't want to be politically correct, i just want to say what i feel instead of wrapping it up in niceties or dumping the thoughts in a corner. It is not that i am unaware of what goes on, it is just that i am not interested in it. i just want to do my job well and leave it at that. In my 6 years over here, i have never kowtowed to anyone. Yes, i am arrogant, yes, i rub up people the wrong way, i don't conform to the rules...Maybe, like my friend says, i am not professional, in the sense that i live in my own world, do my own thing...i am good at what i do and i get paid for that. And that is all that counts to me.

Why am i raving and ranting about this? Because, unwillingly, i am getting dragged into their politics.i don't want to enter their world, where i cannot say what i feel, where stupid ideas float around just because it is suggested by someone higher up. i would never survive in that environment.

No more dark thoughts. i finished one MB yesterday night! It has been ages since i read one.You know how it is, the girl as beautiful as beautiful can be, the guy so incredibly hot and rich,the fights and the last pages where all misunderstandings are wiped clear! Cheap thrills.That is what i get from MBs. i don't like the new generation of romance novels, maybe because they are so explicit. i rather dig the subtle play of words in the older ones though some ofthe love scenes (like sky exploding into a thousand peices when they climax! What!!) are definitely funny.

The song from the movie "Honeymoon private ltd" (or something like that) - "aisa mera pyar he"has been buzzing in my head and i find myself breaking into that song. There is nothing great about it but somehow... i have been driving my sis crazy singing it and dancing like KK Menon! Not a prettysight...:)
