LEADing by example
Iceman: Man the fuel prices are getting higher, I will not bring my bike back here on Monday.
Team Lead (TL): Is it? Then how will you come to office?
Iceman: Figuring out a way. I'm okay walking back home, but its the morning thats the problem. I hate crowded buses and I don't want to walk in the sun.
TL : Walk? How can you walk back. Its so far!
Iceman: Its only 3 KMs.
TL: Three kilometers??? :O That is too far!!
Iceman: Relax. I'm used to running 4.5 Kilometers flat out.
TL: 4.5 Kilometers?
Iceman: Yes.
TL: Together??
I give the customary "3-second-stare" for his brain to catch up...
Iceman: No, 10 meters each day.
TL: Ahh...that anyone can do.

Kutty woman. (Say that in the tune of the song "Pretty woman" - Roy Orbison/KHNH)
You know usually everything seems to be so normal and peaceful and suddenly every now and then, unbelievable things happen and you just can't get a grip over yourself. Either the Almighty has sentenced me to spend my life amidst weirdos, or its just that I am a giant blimp on their "victim-radar".
There is this lady in the testing team, she is from Kerala (Hence the name) and has that forever scornful look on her face...

| Kutty woman |
Iceman: These TCs look okay, but please include those 3 scenarios I mentioned in the mail.
Kutty Woman (KW): Are you catholic?
Iceman: What?
KW: Are you catholic?
Iceman: What does that have to do with the TCs? Did I say something wrong?
KW (Now very irritated and with the kind of urgency a virgin man would have while chasing a naked woman just 30 seconds before the end of the world): Are you catholic?
Iceman: No man..I'm not even Christian.
KW: Do you know you are going to hell?
I was a little appalled but then composed myself...
Iceman: Oh Yes, Im the guest of honour there.
I'm still wondering who gave this missionary a job here? That lady gives me the heebie-jeebies now. Brrrrr.
Last but not the least, Mr.Playa.
Mr.Playa is this guy I had seen like all over the floor. He looks like your everyday guy. Just going about his duty. But before we get into his story, I must first tell you about some weird voices I heard in the restroom.
BTW, this must be the third story from the rest room? I must start a sub-series on the rest room rather. All the freaks seem to hold a convention there.
So I am washing my face in the rest room and I suddenly hear these stifled voices
"Come on you can do it"
"Come on...come on..."
When I look up, I find The Playa talking to his little friend from down south, encouraging him to do his thing while keeping his eyes shut hard. I think I saw him pump his fist in encouragement.
I thought this was the limits. A 30+ guy who had to work so hard to take a leak.
Have you seen the one where Joey says to Chandler how he can't go when he is nervous? Well NOW do you understand this guy's problem? He can't even go when he is calm.
