But it did make an interesting read - at no point did I feel "Omg what is this guy trying to pull??" ONCC was more of absurdity than fantasy.<BR/><BR/>@viewer - Good canteen food exists??? Really? In all my years of eating in hostels/work I've never seen them. :-( <BR/>And yeah that's exactly what I am trying to say - Tupperware or some other flat things that will fit into your bag are ok.jananihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08516521723511389037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12326794.post-1133296466119011262005-11-29T12:34:00.000-08:002005-11-29T12:34:00.000-08:00Well there is no match to a home cooked food.... t...Well there is no match to a home cooked food.... this come from a person who has lived most of her life eating various cateen food - all types of them , good one , bad one , worst one , non edibile ones, posh ones, exotic ones. But none stand a chance to home cooked food. Given an option I would love to take dabbas to office .. surely a good decent tiffin carrier with a decent enough tiffin carrier bag.Viewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08195324348366770975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12326794.post-1133290479141325232005-11-29T10:54:00.000-08:002005-11-29T10:54:00.000-08:00jumped from casablanca's blog...err.... makes sens...jumped from casablanca's blog...<BR/>err.... makes sense mostly, except that plastic footwear could actually do with elucidation...<BR/>@last post: i was personally pretty disappointed with FPS... thought it was majorly over-hyped(just an opinion, in case u r a fan!!) ... and am even more disappointed to hear this reportLancelothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15403517628137397686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12326794.post-1133258221961122142005-11-29T01:57:00.000-08:002005-11-29T01:57:00.000-08:00I am still waiting for updates on the list ;)I am still waiting for updates on the list ;)Casablancahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05077029132861679984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12326794.post-1133188613215053032005-11-28T06:36:00.000-08:002005-11-28T06:36:00.000-08:00@totti - Laughed at your defense? :-) @harini - Se...@totti - Laughed at your defense? :-) <BR/><BR/>@harini - See, this is the big bad world of MNCs! :-)<BR/><BR/>@bala - C'mon college is different from work.

And you've got a point alright - plastic is better than leather. <BR/><BR/>@mukund - :-) Read my post carefully - it's taking water home from work that bothers me. And dabbas are out - really!

If that is not the case and if you have to buy one to survive the day, then I feel there is nothing uncool in carrying a bottle of water from home. Remember old saying "little drops make a mighty ocean" :) these drops of water could be your monthly savings :)<BR/><BR/>Home-made food is really a good break sometimes to save yourself from the commercial office lunch. People suffering from this mania will not find it uncool to carry a dabba (be it in whatever way) to office.<BR/><BR/>Anyway this is your list of uncool things ... just happens that two of them are not in my list.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12326794.post-1133035202167736052005-11-26T12:00:00.000-08:002005-11-26T12:00:00.000-08:00If the plastic footwear runs smooth without making...If the plastic footwear runs smooth without making much noise, why should that be frowned upon?

Flat and fits into your bag easily. When I say hook, I mean exactly that - not the usual handle. <BR/><BR/>When you are at a meeting and the person next to you has her leg on her leg and is swinging it, you must be blind if you don't notice her footwear. I know you aren't Poirot or Holmes, but surely you must notice if you are the average human. <BR/><BR/>Obviously it is perfectly ok to be uncool. Like I said in my post, you need to be cool only if you want to be in my good books.jananihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08516521723511389037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12326794.post-1132821596926321542005-11-24T00:39:00.000-08:002005-11-24T00:39:00.000-08:00Who wears plastic footwear to work??????*shivers i...Who wears plastic footwear to work??????<BR/><BR/>*shivers in horror*<BR/><BR/>*looks at her own classy shoes and calms down a little*Casablancahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05077029132861679984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12326794.post-1132810218350601522005-11-23T21:30:00.000-08:002005-11-23T21:30:00.000-08:00@jinguchakka - Handbags are another pet peeve of m...@jinguchakka - Handbags are another pet peeve of mine!

Filling bottles work is disgusting even in once water starved Chennai.<BR/>2. Hook is okay, I guess as long as you don't hang a lunch box in it. One never knows. GF's handbag may need that hook, while she has her arms around you.<BR/>3. Team meetings are themselves yucky things. Many a time I have felt that I am living in a Dilbert strip.<BR/>4. Plastic footwear??? I guess you must be referring to some female. :-) Yeah, I agree with you.Jinguchakkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320357777240725294noreply@blogger.com
