  • Freaky Friday

    i had promised myself that i wouldnt give this blog a ‘my diary’ feel, but have to chronicle this, so it can serve as a benchmark for later days –
    it all started with D preponing the weekend laziness and saying that she would go to office late . me having built a system of timelines, even this tiny aberration was enough to cause a bug in my system, due to which i got delayed too, a marginal 15 minutes, but delayed nevertheless. during travel time to office, i cajoled my system into a feel good mood.
    less than a kilometer from the office, the kiney decides to prepone the weekend laziness and refuses to respond to auto start, kick start or any bludy start, all this only 4 days after a full servicing.i started dragging it (hate leaving it) , saw a closed workshop on the way, and finally reached an open one a kilometre later (in a direction away from the office). Got the kiney repaired in one hour, and gotto watch a Sony Playstation go through a cleaning session with an equipment they usually use to check tyre pressure…i swear!!
    cajoled my system into feeling good again, only to promptly crash into an auto that turned without a signal… the traffic policeman also supported me, but couldnt get the auto guy to pay for the broken helmet visor, rear view mirror and the mental trauma…only solace was that i changed his relationship with his mom, sister (if he has one) etc…. forever, hopefully..grrrr
    got to office, the comp system hung twice before realising it was only a friday and not the weekend… had almost brought my system into normal mode when a colleague literally marched by and insisted he wouldnt stop till i marched with him, the excuse being that i would forget marching (the last time i marched was in std xii).. the logic that there was no reason for me to remember it anyways, did not appeal to him…..that is the last thing i remember on friday, my system hung!!
    P.S just in case you though it was over, i got a message at 10 pm on saturday to let me know that i’d have to grace the office with my presence on sunday.
    until next time, drive safe….

  • One of Those Days

    i hate ‘one of those days’ and i hate when it happens on a monday, so god is in one of his perverse pleasure moods today and i feel like asking ‘why does it always rain on me’…. i had to drag my kinetic for a km, to the mechanic, because the damn thing wouldnt start!! and ergo, i got to the office half an hour late, just on the day my COO had come all the way from Washington to see his India office..grrr, fortunately that hasnt had too many ramifications….and i got a mail from those indiatimes guys that there is a monsoon discount, and one of the books i had been looking for was available at 25% off…now normally, that would make me a happy man, but not when i had bought it one week back!!saw the reloaded version of the matrix (the sixth according to the architect), and liked it, it wasnt loaded with philosophy as many people claimed it to be….the idea that caught me was the one the Oracle said …..that its more to do with why we make certain choices than the choices itself..that made me think a lot…but this one takes the cake…hehe…
    “Your life is the sum of a remainder of an unbalanced equation inherent to the programming of the matrix. You are the eventuality of an anomaly, which despite my sincerest efforts I have been unable to eliminate from what is otherwise a harmony of mathematical precision. While it remains a burden assiduously avoided, it is not unexpected, and thus not beyond a measure of control. Which has led you, inexorably, here.””…quadruple quotes coz its so loaded…lots of people are back …..michelle, simon, welcome back guys!!and now for
