I am out of my last relationship a long time back. Remember, I have written about a boy who is non Punjabi but after all my friend's comments and a lot of thinking I accepted his offer of marriage. I even talked about him at my home. My brothers met him, my mother met him but he bastard, he simply said with a lot of tears in his eyes. That he can not betray his parents, he can not see them crying. Although it was very painful for me but I realized my worth and I left him. No no, not with simply tears in my eyes huh, I slapped that bastard in MacD, in front of other guys. Yes, <SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings"><SPAN style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings">J</SPAN></SPAN></P><P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p> </o:p></P><P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">It was lovely. I felt very nice after slapping him, after scolding him and finally after leaving from there. He tried to contact me after that, through chat , through mail, through phone, every time what he heard from my mouth was scolding, abuses and a lot of curses for him. Then eventually, I even stopped picking his phones and blocked him from my chat. Ufff, he was such a crying personality. Only rona dhona type, uff, not doing anything, simply blaming his luck. </P><P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><o:p> </o:p></P><P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">After getting free from there, I realized importance of my life for myself only. I began concentrating on my hobbies, my friends, my books, my career, my family (with them I used to fight only because of that bastard).</P><P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><o:p> </o:p></P><P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><o:p> </o:p></P><P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Now after that m totally into enjoying my life. But sometimes I think, I should give myself more freedom, more independence, I do not want anybody's interference in my life. I want to wear whatever I want, I want to have friendship with whomever I want, I want to do whatever I want. (obviously I am a mature girl, I know which things are good and bad for me.) although , I have decided to get married, as somehow I find myself relationship addict. But , I think now I should give myself some time. Some space , some life only for me. ITS MY LIFE. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Although I and my family are still looking for good groom, but now, my attitude is totally changed. I would like to have a husband, who can understand me and respect me. Now, whenever I have to go to meet any family or boy, I do not go with attitude that they are coming to see me, but it is me, who is going to see them. And on certain things, I am very much clear and put my foot down,( Thanks to meow FM, and Anil the RJ) I know there are certain things I need and will not change for them,. Like, I will not leave my job,<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">  </SPAN>I will not compromise<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">  </SPAN>on certain things etc. </P><P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><o:p> </o:p></P><P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Now its only my life, my life and me.</P><P> </P>]]></description><pubDate>Sat, 07 Jun 2008 11:27:23 +0530</pubDate><link>http://nickychopra.rediffiland.com/blogs/2008/06/07/its-my-life-1.html</link></item><item><title>To join or not to join</title><description><![CDATA[<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Hello friends!!!!</P><P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p> </o:p></P><P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><o:p> </o:p></P><P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Finally, thanks to all my friends, I have got a job in my last company itself, which I just love.

Being a HR person, I have heard a lot about sexual harassment but I never realized, how would be feeling actually being in this .Actually, am in a kind of dilemma that is it really sexual harassment or not???<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">  </SPAN>TO KAHANI KUCH AISI HAI KI </P><P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">I am working right now in travel industry. And normally, like small companies, I have also a MD who is like king of jungle. I was feeling already very tensed initially, <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>even <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>after being for almost 15 days in the organization that I am stuck. Prior to this , I was working with an IT company and as you all may be aware that IT atmosphere is totally fundoo and free and professional, no personal wishes of MD is actually holding too much weight. But "jahan raja sirf ek hi aadmi ho to wo behcara kaya karein"</P><P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><o:p> </o:p></P><P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Initially I was feeling all this problems. Gradually things started to be smooth. MD who usually used to remain angry with all of employees, always whining and barking, now actually got smooth with me, in fact extra soft with me. He usually used to call me in his cabin and on the pretext of some work or other used to make me sit for at least half an hour, ordering tea for me, asking for personal questions and all..</P><P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Actually my would be sister in law is also working in the same company so he used to instigate me against her (and her against me, m deadly sure) like ladies. Now he is very influential person, if he talks soft with somebody then he feels lucky or at least I did. Then one fine day , while I was going home, he called me inside his cabin and asked about my number just very casually. I gave him. Next day, he asked me have u got my msg.</P><P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">I = No,</P><P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">MD= but I<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">  </SPAN>have sent u one msg when I was watching my favourite program and I wanted you to watch that. </P><P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">I= ok sir, please do it again. </P><P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><o:p> </o:p></P><P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">I was feeling odd , Md is messaging me just to tell about a program. Anyways, then he has instructed me to send him<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">  </SPAN>a message to confirm this is the<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">  </SPAN>correct number , I has given to him.</P><P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">I just sent a very casual msg. unexpectedly, I got a reply of the same. Then he started sending me msg. and now calling me also, just casually, then one day he said, " Hey, Nicky, I got a business deal. You are lucky for me" I felt very good. He invited me for treat. And me , EKDUM GADHI HU MAIN, I accepted. He brought one of his fine car and that day no driver with him. Very casually he said make sure nobody see me when you are coming with me. So just like thieves, I went and he went to a restaurant with me I was not feeling at all, that my MD is sitting with me. I liked it thinking MD is my friend. But things took a new turn. He stated telling me about all his ex girlfriends, his current girlfriends (He is married with 2 girls almost similar to my age, and he is 46 years) all the stuff I did not want to know. He tried to know about my bfs etc. but I did not tell as I was not having anybody till then.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">  </SPAN>So our friendship started and went on and on. But now he starting treating my possessively. One day he made a great fuss, because he has seen me with one of my friend eating and going to my home. Whatever I do, it is none of his business, my personal life is totally out of view of my professional life. But<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">  </SPAN>my colleagues , each and every body is just so idiot (can I say bastard) that they have problem with each and every girl. Every girl is seeing with bad eyes and is labeled as bad character.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">  </SPAN></P><P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><o:p> </o:p></P><P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">So he got so possessive, that he actually sent me a good burning message saying that "I am a leo , a lion<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">  </SPAN>I don't, want my friends to be shared with anybody else( like m a bloody his keep , whom he has bought for himself only, how can he even talk like this, I am not his bloody property) he just sent me such rubbish messages and even ask one of my colleague to make me understand that I should not talk to boys , and I should fully concentrate on my career only. I was so afraid then actually I understood what is going on in his mind, and I became cautious. I just made excused whenever he used to ask me to go with him. It made him more furious. Now he also understood somewhat that what is going on in my mind, beside , I liked one of my colleague and we are very much friendly with each other. He understood that i may leave him anytime. </P><P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><o:p> </o:p></P><P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">It is so shit yar, that I considered him totally as a friend only, I never hence accepted his gifts also , but he made me accept his 2-3 gifts, which are now causing problem in my home, as my mom keeps asking about that, I don't why this happens. Na chahte hue bhi aisi problems aa hi jati hai ladkiyon ke sath. </P><P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><o:p> </o:p></P><P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">He even does not understand that there is a huge gap between me and him , he is like my father. My life is totally stuck buddies. Now when he has actually understood that am not interested in him. So he does not talk nicely me, keeps looking for smallest to smallest mistakes in my work, does not even say me to sit when I have any work with him. I stand for normally half an hour. It really pinches, but I do not know what to do, I can not say yes to him. Though he never actually said<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">  </SPAN>about sexually favour, but these days he even started sending my Non veg messages and started telling non veg talks also. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P><P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><o:p> </o:p></P><P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">I don't know , what to do, how to save my job or how to save my self respect. Because saving both of them does not seem possible now. O GOD! HELP ME, </P><P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Finding a good HR job is also not so easy now. </P><P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><o:p> </o:p></P><P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Viase my question from you is that is it also a sexual harassment ?????????</P><br><img src="http://ri.rediffiland.com/homepimages/home8/379/34871866afc1f417fde6c5ad6888f04e/homep/images/1199882161">]]></description><pubDate>Wed, 09 Jan 2008 18:04:21 +0530</pubDate><link>http://nickychopra.rediffiland.com/blogs/2008/01/09/DILEMMA.html</link></item></channel></rss>
