Man with a Cause

Sujith M. our Director is definitely a man with a cause. He has been bitten by the Green bug. So guess what he did? He went and bought himself a cycle. So if you see traffic blocks near Edappaly Modern Bread area you know whom to blame. But jokes apart, Cycles are great way to protect Planet Earth. People often consider it as an inferior mode of transport and hesitate to use them. The world would definitely be a better place if we all rode cycles to work. You don't need a workout at the gym either!

Majesh gets new Kinetic Honda

Happy Days are Here Again for Jeevan! Jeevan, our design head had been suffering from bouts of depression lately. This was because he lost his evening ride to Kanjikuzhy Better Bakery( he has his evening snack there) as Krisnaraj's wife Radhika has a new job at the treasury. Now Krishna has to give a lift to his wife and Jeevan had lost in the bargain.

But then he found out the Majesh got a new Kinetic Honda and travels the same route. So he has a daily lift now. Poor Majesh! His chances of getting married are slim now as Jeevan will not allow it to happen anytime soon.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day IPSR! No one at IPSR seems to be celebrating except Krishnaraj, our PRO who took an extended lunch break to whisper sweet nothings into his wife's ear(Jeevan's info). And poor Sijo is changing diapers on Valentine's day. I wonder whatever happened to romance.
P.S: Krishnaraj just marched into my cubicle. Contrary to Jeevan's beliefs, Krishnaraj had gone to the dentist's for a filling. He has even shown me the bill as proof. I have added this postscipt as he threatens to sue for defamation. Pardon the mistake!

Sijo on Paternity Leave

Our Accountant Sijo is on Paternity Leave as their babysitter has quit. Just after two days of babysitting Mom Reena said that 'enough is enough.' So Sijo is pitching in while Reena comes to work. We hear Sijo is also very enthusiastic about diaper changing. We wonder whether Brijesh George(AGM, Marketing) and our CEO who all have babies at home would do the same thing. May Sijo be a role model.

Hotel Aida Website

Shina's kumbakarnaseva bags vegetables

Who thought Shina's kumbakarnaseva would turn so useful? Shina's mother in law is a very happy woman these days. Because her daughter in law has become very resourceful.

Shina sleeps daily on her bus commute. People who are not lucky enough to get a seat
put a big load of stuff on her lap. But the sleepy Shina never checks the items on her lap. When her stop comes, she jumps up as if on autopilot and dumps everything on the seat.

The other day the bus driver and conductor came in search of her. Guess Why? They wanted to return a plastic bag full of Chinese Potatoes (koorkka) which Shina left on her seat. Shina was puzzled. Actually this bag had been given by one of the bus passengers for her to hold. As usual Shina left it on the seat when her stop came. The real owner too forgot about it. Naturally, the bus conductor thought it was Shina's. Anyway ma-in-law said that there was no sense in wasting a good thing and quickly accepted it. At this rate, Shina's grocery bill is going to reduce considerably.

Krishna's Leave Day

For all those of you who were wondering why Krishna ( yeah, the same Krishna who gets IPSR Awards for Perfect Attendance and all that at the Annual Meet) was absconding from office yesterday, here is the reason. He was helping his wife Radhika join her new job. Poor Krishna had been pulling out his hair in frustration cause wife dear (whose last job term got over) was driving him mad with cries of 'What Will I do Next?'. She managed to clear a PSC Exam which she wrote sometime back. The result is a coveted job in the Treasury Department. A luxurious life of casual leaves, privilege leaves and maternity leaves await Radhika. Don't forget to get a treat from our boy!

What a relief!

Whew! What a relief! That distressing message when one logged on to Vibrant IPSR has been removed by Blogger. For some unknown reason the robots at Blogger had decided that this blog could be a potential spam blog. Now we are considered innocent. But we were very happy to see that our friends were still visiting our blog undeterred by the message. Your love counts!
