Another day drifting by..........

Alright now, the day here started on a very dismal note. I mean, waking up at 7:30 am is not cool at all, but then had no options. You see, the maid turns up at 8:00, and I have to leave by 8:30, 'coz work start from 9:00. Not done at all!! Anyhow, there I was drowsy and cursing my mobile for shrieking out loud (the damn thing has 3 alarms, and smarty pants yours truly had set them at an interval of 15 royal minutes, huh!!), since 7:00 am. Good thing Neal, couldn't hear it from his room (or may be he was too lazy!!). So, Up and about I make it to the wash basin and go about the morning rituals. So far so good. "What's so special?", you might ask. Nothing, nothing as of now!! With maid supposed to turn up in a few more minutes, I'm for the bath. No time to get some hot water, have to rely on the almost ice-cold water. Happily crooning away (that's not a habit, had to forget about the chill!!), the water runs out me, with the soap buds playing hid seek on my face. I managed to get things done with whatever little was around. And then I realise the reason, some smart ass last night had left the kitchen tap open, so drippy boy had gone on and tried to fill up the sink, it failed so tried even harder forgetting the fact, it doesn't have a never ending supply of water and there are other taps too, who rely on the same source. So, finally there's no water drippy boy failed in its mission. No wonder, the bratty steel was looking a bit dull in the morning.

So, having dealt with the morning accidents, I drove off for work, when on the way I came across this fella or rather a cab driver who seemed to have stepped out for a morning stroll with his car. Wonder whether he was showing his car around the place, "Look there sonny boy, that's where you find good eggs. 26 rupees to a dozen.", "That shopkeeper son is a might crook I tell you, he'll always try to rip you off. Avoid him!!", and god knows what not!! Well, it's really ok, but not at 9:00 am when the world does step out for go to work. And if you've got a car honking right behind you, you move aside. I frankly, have no idea, whether sensibility dawned on him or was mere chance I saw him drifting to the left, that was my chance and I sped. I happened to glance at the rear-view mirror and realised there were about 4 more fellas right behind me, all heaving a sigh of relief. I've got his number (the cab's license plate duh!!), next time I see that cab on the street, I'm not driving!!! hmpf!!!

At work, things have been pretty quiet. Deadlines met, things on schedule, nothing to jangle the nerves to be honest. Boring!! So, I resort to my favorite pastime now, blog reading. I started playing hop-skotch around here, and visited a good deal of them. One of then written by Scout, got me thinking (Read it here). It's about just how unsatisfied one with his/her professional life. And frankly, me being one of them I could feel exactly what she was talking about. I mean, am good at what I do, but I no longer enjoy it. At times I wonder why I drifted into the technical world. Societal pressure?? Parental expectations?? Peer pressure?? Or fear of taking the road less travelled?? I revel in challenges. Challenge my skill and you'll find a genius at work, else you got your everyday Jack next to you!! But then, somethings are going right for me (my personal life), just hafta align my professional life with it and well... I can breathe easy... a lot easy!! It's hard work, and that's why am still here coding and talking to clients. Seriously, money matters!!!

And finally, at the fag end of the day Tapan manages to crack me up. Just dropped in there, to check for the odd post that he puts up there, and came across this one, where he talks about a train ride of his mother , in which a hilarious encounter between mama and some youngsters is discussed. Left me smiling. Read it here.

Alright now, I've bored you fellas enough, get back to your stuff. Honestly!! You guys up for reading any and every rant or what??? :) lol...

Confused Gyaan:

There'll always be strings attached to you. You can break away and try to be yourself or you can loosen them and still try to be yourself. Which one is better?? :)

Ciao!!! Take care people....
