I had lot of sweets, of different variety and from different places... Below is the list of sweets i had today...

The day started with the Plum cake from Prabitha. She got that from Coimbatore as she went home for Christmas. First i had only one piece, as there was only few pieces and have to distribute to many people. but even after everyone has got their share, some of them are left alone. As i'm a strong supporter of the principle "Taste... but dont waste...", I went for the rescue and had all the remaining pieces...

Next is from Jai Kumar, a sweet called "Peda"... Its a special sweet made only in karnataka, not the ordinary peda which we can get from Adayar Ananda bhavan... It was so sweet than the previous two sweets.. so i had only two... but later, my friend ramesh gave me half peda, as he was not able to eat the whole sweet...

The fourth kind of sweet is from Ramesh... He got some sweets called "Kaja" from his home town (in Andhra Pradesh). Its a kind of sweet which can be found only in that state. It had honey like sweet syrup stuffed inside... Actually he got that yesterday and i also had some three sweets yesterday. But there was one full box left. Whatelse, I went for the rescue again. Even after my efforts, there are still some sweets left.

Next is from Praphul, my DBA team mate... I dont know the sweet name(so sad :-/)... He actually got that for his engagement last weekend in kerala. It was really superb, but i had only two...

Next is some kind of cake gave by Mathew George. I think its another variety of plum cake... This time also i had only one, as he got only few pieces...

Finally (the day is not yet over... still some 6 hours left), i had a piece of chocolate given by Tushar Kanwar... Actually, Tushar gave it to Nirmal... Since nirmal couldnt eat that chocolate, he gave it to me...

And i also had some pineapple cream biscuits in-between, at our pantry when i went for drinking coffee...

As you read,, i had variety of sweets and that too from different places like coimbatore, andra,kerala, karnataka...

I thank all my friends(who gave me sweets)...

I will wrap this up with those two words...

Here are some rules of the road, which i read from an article and thought that it will be useful, for that most joyous of holiday happenings: The Office Holiday Party.

1. Watch the Alcohol! :::::::: Rule number one for a smooth holiday party is to limit your alcohol intake. Each of us knows our tolerance. The holiday party can be especially dangerous because drinks are often free and the point of the party is to celebrate -- and let off a little steam. While it may be tempting to indulge on the company dollar with the people you spend so much of your time with, resist the urge. Alcohol makes emotions and opinions flow more freely. Liquid confidence can be a culprit in all sorts of choices you'll regret later -- telling your boss what you really think of him or taking a secret crush to the next level. To prevent disaster, decide beforehand how much you will drink and stick to it. Alternate wine or drinks with water. And don't skip the food. If food is minimal or not provided, grab a granola bar and glass of skim milk beforehand.It sounds cliché, but it's amazing how many people let alcohol get the best of them at these events! Exercising self-control at a holiday work party will pay dividends for the entire year to come. Throwing caution to the wind will get you a new reputation as "Make-out Molly" or "Nauseous Nancy" until you get another job. Is it worth it?
   
2. Dress with A Sense of Work in Mind ::::::::: Your party attire should be in line with what you wear to work. Some businesses are casual and employees don't have to think much of what they wear. Others are more strict, so after-hours clothes can be a bit more relaxed, but not too revealing. If your coworkers have never seen you in open-toed shoes or bare legs, pass on the short dress or cleavage-baring shirt. Keep it professional. Wear your sexy-somethings to other holiday events with your friends and partner!A good rule of thumb is to ask yourself: Would I be comfortable wearing this if something unexpectedly came up at the office? If the answer is no, change your outfit.
   
3. Don't Be a Brownnoser :::::::: No one likes a brownnoser and if you spend your night chasing around the boss or other high-level executives, your stock with your fellow colleagues is going to drop precipitously. Be polite and say hello. But spend your time with the people you actually know and enjoy and depend on at work. This is your time to celebrate your accomplishments with each other. Be sure to thank the person who organized the holiday party, too.
   
4. Mingle! :::::::::: Instead of trying to further your career, take the holiday party as an opportunity to get to know some peers. Work the room. Strike up conversations with some unknowns.
   
5. Consider Your Date Wisely ::::::::: If you're allowed to bring a date, and you should certainly check the policy beforehand, remember that he or she will reflect on you as much as you do. Significant others' behavior, drinking, dress, and social skills all matter. Make sure your date is on the same page as you. Also, be sure to include your date in conversations and introductions so they feel included. Otherwise, go stag.
