Couple of Pages from a Fool’s Diary

Reminder Ting...in my Office mail box...Mail from my friend reminding me that today is last date for the submitting the Final soft copy of Dissertation for completing my Masters. 

Shaks....yaar..


AGAIN...missed the last line in schedule mail, which was sent earlier. I know you are curious 2 Know what went missing last time...even if ur not ...I have decided to tell you...Last time I have missed my mid-sem presentation date.... I was around all day..going..around the office but never went in to present my Dissertation for Mid Sem evaluation ....Later sorted it out with few apology mails.


Looked at my mail box again "Submit soft copy EOD by today... EOD-End of the day...EOD-End of the day.... Voice inside told me.. arey still 6 hours more for End of the day... but i have shift till 10.30PM it will be 11.30 by the time I reach home...


How..How..How


Looked at my manager, he was busy...then I looked at him again..... now a more close up shot.....the way in the cameraman zooms in to faces of daily soaps... (I hate Daily soaps).Sir, I have 2 leave early... (Probably...only time sir is added to your mangers name...is while asking for leave) another close up shot... His eyes went closer and then the reply came "Y". Conveyed him the fact that I am standing on the edge of soup bowl...if he does not let me go... I will be in soup... He said "go ahead" as if he gave me 100% hike...Gave the shift updates to my colleague. Started & finished planning how I will be doing this and by the time I reached ground floor..


Coming out of office... Realized my pocket is left with only 20Rs after eating up Birayni in the food republic... aaaaah... I thought...ok no worries.... lets walk up to the road and take shared auto... got in to a auto... it started raining slightly and the moment I got down from the auto at Ameerpet it started raining heavily so ran in to a bus stop...


Auto Auto......I was shouting from the bus stop at ameerpet a place 2 Km from my house. Considering that, I will pay him by taking money from home....one guy stopped. I ran in towards the auto......"Till ESI". i said...two stops form here.....normally it charges...20Rs.. He said NO... as if he was hunting for a bigger prey... I was almost wet and came back running to bus stop...again...


Auto Auto..... Another recap... "Till ESI"... he said 100 rupees.....what non-sense...are you gone mad it is two stops from here not even 2km..I said...Go to hell... (Water was dripping on to my face from the little hair... I had left with... I was feeling like one of the main protagonist in the daily soaps... who looks as if whole world's problem is on his shoulder...)


I ran back to a travels shop.... next to bus stop... to avoid glares of people who does not know. That I am on critical mission....


Shop owner was furious and was shouting on people coming in for shelter. This guy’s concentration was mostly on people who looked poor... (home less) as they wont be his future customer...i cursed whole system being  selfish... money oriented... and the autowala's for using the "Chance pe Dance" strategy....there is nothing called humanity. Then a Auto stopped "Till ESI"... he said 60 rupees... bugger asking 3 times... I said 40 as the Dissertation soft copy was on the Line....... finally fixed it for 50 rupees and came home....


Thank God..! I have worked on it last weekend it self... just had to organize things in an order....these word Reports. Indexes...Page numbers...Done... finished and sent it by 11.45. and went to bed with an expression of achievement on my face....and looking on events of the today(Mail,EOD,Rain,Autowala's,shopowner) how screwed.. it got. but ended well...


"We all get in small obstacles in life...on daily basis. It is our Will to achieve our goal...will keep us on the path which lead us to the success"   
                                                                       


oooww hang on....what non-sense...i don’t want give these inspirational touchy things....and End..blogs with inspiration quotes from philosphers...... My blogs are not preachy... preachy...


Oh come on yaar...! Its okey... it happens. It happens with everyone. There is no need to curse society, autowala's, shop owner’s.... No need to feel bad or inspire...take resolutions...out of One or Two bad days...


The best things you can do is luk back.... laugh it off with few friends as i did...and get up late next morning.. When its bright and sunny not Raining...


Next day:


Oh god...I am late...    Auto Auto......"Till Ameerpet..." He said. No.... and started moving... after few sec's.. Auto stopped... I went nearer... autowala said...come till Main road...I have school kids to pickup.. So I cant drop you at "Ameerpet".okey...after getting down i offered him 10rs..He gave me 5rs back...looking at my strange expression..He gave me a smile and told me.. "Saab ..zarurath se zyada paise hazam nahi hothe"(means.. Sir, we wont be able to digest more than we actually require...)


HA..AH New bright sunny day....another entiry in to a diary.........

  1. Amazing write-up again! Your sense of humour hits the chord of the voice box (larynx) in the mouth of the reader, which makes us LOL... Felt as if the scene is running on my screen!! You write exactly the way you speak, and this makes the narration interesting.

    Keep writing. I would personally like to see a finer finishing touch in the next ones; as a professional writer ;-)

  3. The finest point in this blog is the Title...Its apt.In the title itself u told that the reader is going to read "nonsense" and u succeeded. The narration is good but there is no point to narrate.I was able to see the scene but there was no use of watching it.The blog completely misses the basic emotions which u maintained in ur earlier blog.

    I would like to call it as " Sadiq ki Aag"

  4. The title made the expectations on content average and i find it above average after reading it. This means tile is very good and content is average.

    So, very good + average = Good
