Today, 18th Aug'10, we complete 2 years at Morgan Stanley. We had joined on 18th Aug'08 as grads, not knowing each other, and today, we sit at Gari's place, celebrating 2 years at Morgan Stanley, and of our friendship.
But this post is not to describe our celebrations, but to appreciate the efforts of my friend, who made this celebration more memorable, at least for me. Today, I learnt a good lesson of life, a few people have to give up their enjoyment, and put in hard work (read "a lot" of hard work), just to make sure other people enjoy. Today, I was standing on the non-enjoying part (well, for today, the non-enjoying part was preparing food for 10 people) looking at the other enjoying side (this part being listening to songs and singing them aloud =)), and I wondered, I am usually on the other side, enjoying, oblivious of the efforts and hard work taken, so that we can enjoy =). Some people would have argued that it was needless to take such efforts, that we could have just ordered in, but it is so not true (Well, there is hardly any substitute to our Gari's cooking =D)
So Gari, this post is dedicated to you, for all your efforts you have taken today and in the past for feeding us with good edible food =). I really appreciate your efforts, and I am sure there is hardly anyone else who would not. And finally, I do appreciate Sweta and Anchal for helping in food preparations (well, this for Anchal is with a heavy heart, because there is this concept of inertia associated with her, which will need a altogether separate blog to explain =P)
P.S. @Others: The purpose of this blog was just to appreciate Gari, and not to offend anyone. If anyone is hurt, please comment here, and Gari will take care of you =P (on a serious note, it was unintential)

Thanks! It means a lot :)
Awesm..Three cheers to you Gari :)
Three cheers for Gari and hats off to her efforts !!
woooooww...thanks a lot !
Me and Priya were returning home discussing this thing only. It is really hard to willfully leave the comfortness and do the work so that your friends can enjoy. I guess Gari and Dhawal understand it better (and now Priya too :) ).
But I think this is the way we live, you do something for your friends and friends do something for you in return. This results into much stronger bonding that we will remember for ages...
Cheers for our group!! :)
@Gari: Anytime =)
@Jeet: Tu kise thanks bol raha hai =P
