Chronicles of my Life !

These are the thoughts that come to my head that come across me when i WAS in the most rocking place on Earth. Mumbai. I loved Mumbai. It has got so much to do.

Day 1:
Wow! Free again! Man needs his time away from work. One definitely can’t smile at all the nagging by the boss all the time. Working in a media company is hectic-esp when ur in Mumbai. Work should be a day long contract to be renewed at the end of the expiry date. Each party should be able to pull out of the contract with one hour's advance notice. Disputes, if any should be settled in the jurisdiction of the employees’s home town.

Day 2:
Is it OK to walk nude out of the washroom when you are dripping wet to pick up the towel drying on the cupboard? Where are my ironed clothes? Where is the magic cupboard from where ironed clothes keep coming out every day? Socks? Why are they so small…can’t we have bigger socks so that they don’t get lost? What should my breakfast be?

Day 3:
The two utensils that can be used to make tea are in the sink. Can’t have tea. Is Pepsi a good supplement for tea? In NMIMS they did mention that nimbu pani, tea & lassi are Pepsi’s competitors! Ironed clothes are fast running out. Is ironing other’s clothes still a career option? Are people still doing it? Where do they stay…how do I find them? Does Just Dial have the Dhobi's no? lemme check !

Day 4:
Damn! Soap slipped and fell in the potty. I know there is unused soap in the house. But where is it? Idea…let me use the small soap I picked up from the Taj Hotel when I stayed there for three days… A year back.. Split between corn flakes & oats. Corn flakes wins because the only utensil in which oats can be cooked is in the sink.

Day 5:
Shoes are dirty. Where is the shoe brush? Can I use the tooth brush and wash it later? Who is gonna know? Where is the house key? If I didn’t bring it inside the house how did I get in? Did I leave a window open? If I left the windows open did the thieves get in before I did? Did they hide under the bed to avoid detection? And slid out of the house when I dozed off? Check if everything is in place….don’t know what is where…but my laptop is safe. They definitely didn’t walk away with the internet connection.

Day 6:
Should I take up dieting? Instead of saying I slept hungry coz there was no food it feels better to say I was dieting. On second thoughts….Is Corn Flakes a good meal for dinner? Maybe for dinner I can have corn flakes with curd. For breakfast it can be had with milk. Wow…a balanced diet.

Day 7:
There are no clean undies to wear. Wear them inside out? Will colleagues know? Not till the boss strips me pants down….and that’s not gonna happen. Some consolation that I am not superman…else dirty undies will show.

Day 8:
When the tomato sauce is over…. pizza goes well with mango pickle. Why do Indians eat pizzas with tomato sauce?

Day 9:
Started drinking a lot of water – drinking out of the 'topiya' (an odd shaped utensil) helps. All glasses in the sink. Ants on white marble floor make a good sight. But where are they all rushing? What can be the hurry in a bug’s life? Wonder if they are after a Hot Ant. They cant call her Ant-ie. Or can they?

Day 10:
Enough. I am missing my family. Independence comes with a certain amount of problems – wonder if Gandhi & Nehru also felt the same way 10 days after Indian independence?

Day 11 :
If i talk to myself, is that bad? Am i crazy? maybe i am-but is that just my feeling. I heard it in a movie that crazy people think that they are sane. I am definitely crazy then. Crazy me.
So how do i finish the presentation before the 10AM review. Should i work late? Can i charge HT for overtime? Can i say that Colaba sank for 8 hrs and that's why i wasnt able to work. Heck. Sleep.

Day 11.
Call from boss-Where is the presentation i asked you to work on.

Day 12 :
I do not want to go to office ! Mammmmmaaaaaaaaaaaaaa !!

Day 13 :
Telecaller calls. Loan waali.. Sir, may i offer you an exclusive loan for Rs 10L. It will be delivered to you in 24 hrs. Me: Ok. But my pet mouse says that i cant have it. She: Mouse Sir??!!?
Me: Why, do you have a problem with that !! Hang up before charges me for sexual harassment.

Now i do not have the patience of writing anymore. Guess i should work. Oh Gosh !!
