Long time ... No girls !!!

Just the other day I was thinking to myself - "Its been a really really long while hasn't it...."

If you're wondering - what am I referring too ... I was talking about - "Since I met some happening female!"

The last time I hung out with some cool chicks was when I was working for Wipro, Chennai. Yes ... Chennai. I has a couple of friends there who were nice to hang out with. Although these babes were no where near "HOT" - they had sweet demeanours and their mind-set and attitudes were definitely hip!

When I left Chennai for Bangalore - one of the things in my mind was - "Man ... There are a lot of hot babes in Bangalore - probably even more than there are "girls" in Chennai... I'm going to have a field day flirting with them!!!"
And now, close to a year after I landed here, the number of girls I've become friends with (read as whose phone numbers I have) = 1.
(She and I were working on the same project for a bit, and I had to siphon her number from our company's employee details portal so that I could inform her about a team meeting we were having ... Pathetic isn't it ... Well ... Guess what - I know!!!)


The story begins with my entry into NITC (National Institute of Technology, Calicut) - where all the brainy, albeit ugly, girls come to study. To add to agony, I was pursuing a degree in Mechanical Engg - a branch of study no girl ever takes. 4 years of that, and a placement in a software company, and I thought things are going to get brighter for me.

But heck - It just wasn't destined to be so. I ended up getting posted at Chennai. Paaandi land, as it is famously known, is (in)famous for the "deep fried" girls and their conservative attitudes.
I got a taste of just how "oven baked" these girls can get on day 1 of my landing in Chennai. But, the conservative attitudes - well ... That was something I learnt a couple of weeks later - the HARD WAY that too !!! (Well ... I tried to ask a certain girl at work out for a couple of drinks!!! The contemptuous looks and embers sparkling in her eyes after I had made that proposition would scare the shit out SATAN!).

But, justice be done, I met some really swell people during my stay there. Sujatha, Gayathri, Anjana, Anupama - you folks rock... I wouldn't have made it through my tenure there in Chennai and Wipro without you folks and those loooooooooooooong coffee breaks we used to have!!!

Then, as every IT professional with over 1+ yrs of work ex does, I decided to switch companies. And since my work location was Bangalore, I thought "Man ... God is finally warming upto me!"

And guess what - Yet again - I end up in an all boys team!!!

It leaves me thinking - "WHY ME ?????"
