Team Formal Dinner

Went to team formal dinner last night. It was on a short notice. Thought it will be a very informal dinner with some hahas and hehes but turned out to be opposite. It was a very formal dinner with high management people. AK couldnt make it since he already had plans with his TK. I Dropped AK and TKto Natick mall on my way to Paparazzi. I was fortunate to get a seat next to Bill and Evan, atleast had people to talk to. The bread (complimentary) is the best part of the meal in all the italian restaurents. Sometimes I just wanna go there and have just beer and that complimentary bread. No item on the menu was as delicious as the complimentary bread. I guess at paparazzi they just serve the complimentary bread once. But I wanted to have another piece of that. I asked the waiter to get me another bread. He said he will but he didnt and also ignored me for the rest of the evening. Such was my temptation for the bread that I called another waiter and asked him to get me another bread. Everybody at the table laughed. But I was too enamored by the taste of the bread to care. Finally got my bread.

To make the occassion even more formal UDay got up and asked everybody to get up and introduce him/herself. There were about 22 people and it took about 15 mins. Some people cracked some jokes (which I didnt get because they werent loud enough).

I ordered a chicken dish which was the special of the day. It turned out to be a disappointment, too blend for somebody like me who is in love with butter chicken and tandoori chicken and stuff. I could hardly finish half of that with the help of 2 glasses of wine. By that time Paul was a little buzz. He came over and asked us to eat (and drink) as much as we can because somebodyelse is paying. I tried my best.

The dinner ended at 9:30. I headed straight to home. Picked Lactaid milk on my way, thought will have it before I hit the bed. When I reached home I found my new external hard disk was delivered. Tried to set it up but was too buzz with the wine. After 15 mins I crashed in the bed dumping my diet plan (the compulsory protien shake before sleep).

FInally got the name

After thinking hard for 2 and half hours I finally have to settle down with this name for my blog. I think I have shun work enough today. Its 3:14 PM and I think I should get back to work. Currently working on probabaly most unhappening part of my project. But thats not excuse enough to not finish my tasks. Went and spoke to my TL. He gave me something to work on. Should be a 4-5 hrs task, but it has already been 2 hrs and I havent even started yet. Would like to avoid distractions and focus on work for the rest of the (working) day.
