The Sword Of Cedilla

The Mighty Sword


The close-up


This is a sword. Yeah I know you can see that. But it is not just any ordinary sword. Cocooned inside a rusted scabbard at a corner in our office, especially bought from an antique shop in Thailand, the weapon belongs to Charlemagne (Charles the Great), the famed Medieval king of the Franks and first emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. And you reading this blog believe it is true?!!! :P Well the owner (one of our colleagues) believed so or something similar to this while purchasing it. But it didn’t take him long to realize that he was being thugged. Arrey he could not make out the difference between the ordinary junk and the precious one (antique)! :P

Ever since this realization of reality was made by him, the sword has found its new home in our office. And is now an essential part of our team Cedilla, giving our office a touch of royalty. Shifting from one hand to the other this sword is our stress buster at times of pressure clubbed with fun. If I say, holding a sword and faking your power is an experience out of the world then it would be an overstatement. But it certainly makes you feel powerful (momentarily though) once you get your hold on it. Perhaps that’s the reason why our boss likes to display his power by walking along with this sword at times. And when he takes his hands off it, it is we who do the honors! :)

‘Back’ing Up In The Bus


Being a backbencher is always a fun. Be it the last bench of a classroom or the end row corner seat of a movie theater, sitting at the back has its own benefits. The point is no one can watch you while you can observe each and every activity of the front. You know what I mean right? Good!


Coming ‘Back’ to the point. Was travelling in a bus few days ago when I saw this pair seated at the second last seat in front of me. Though PDA is largely a personal choice and I would not like to opine over it here. Just like any other lovebird, they too were completely lost in each other, unaware of the happenings around. Still am trying to figure out the reason behind my click, anyways it just came spontaneously giving me something to write on. Sometimes being in love makes you forget everything. And sometimes you are so much absorbed in everything else that you just forget the love. :P


P.S. I strongly condemn taking pictures of others without their knowledge or consent, provided it is harmless like the one above.

Good ‘Mourn'ing!!!

Cool breeze come uninvited from the window and whispers morning in your ears blowing a chilly kiss on the forehead…arms stretch to welcome the sweet sunshine but the feet is reluctant to step out of the warm cosy comfort of the blanket …but after much negotiations with the mind (dude u have already taken two days leave this month and you better don’t make your boss go crazy asking for more…!!!) the alarm snoozes off in support of the mind…finally the mind wins as the feet reluctantly fingers the cold calm tiles to start the journey of another working day….Wow mornings are sometimes beautiful….yeah even for lazy people like me!!! : P

Still somewhere drooping in the middle of the world of dreams and daylight…you suddenly realize the world has shrunk in size…eh?? Or perhaps it is not the world it is your eyes that have…what’s going on??!!…you splash some water to reflect the reality in the mirror….EYE FLU!!! Oh Shit!!!
