A 31-day month since I started posting. Nice. And Thank God It's Friday. I just get the Saturday off, but beggars have to make do with whatever they can get their hands on. From next week, I'm off on Thursdays.
Today was a good day. Tiring, but not as long. Met Ma for soup and Chilli Pork Roast. How I love the day before a holiday. The holiday itself is not as good as waiting for it to arrive. Aaah.. the joy of opekkha...
Had a very heehee-type day in office. This guy (the one who brings the biscuits) brings his whole cupboard in his bag. Yes -- the bag is actually an almari in disguise. Not only does he carry biscuits and ajwain, but also a big, fat newspaper (despite working in a media house which is overflowing with newspapers anyway... and then too... he subscribes to the competitor!!!), a big, black umbrella, an oily tiffin box, a shirt or two, pens, pencils, a folder, a packet for the tiffin box, a packet for the big, black umbrella if it gets wet in the rain (and it's summer now), and so much more. We've planned to have show-and-tell at office one of these days so that we can learn more about the portable-cupboard-cum-bag of his.
I have cracked a few good situational jokes over the last few days for a change. Usually I have a stock of PJs to harrass well-meaning people with.
Today's been a hot day, and the sudden gust of wind threatening a storm hasn't brought any rain and the city is still sultry (not in a good way). But I did see this old man very happily drinking cold Coca Cola through a white straw. It was a Kodak moment, but as usual, my camera was sitting in the drawer of my cupboard.
Ooooh... I'm listening to Marathi after ages: "Tumcha call hold var ghyunar rahet ahe. Kripya line var raha." (I'm on hold while talking to a friend from Pune... the Marathi I typed may be wrong.)
Off hold now, and on conference call with friend who's getting engaged and another who has never had even an inkling of a boyfriend. This is such fun!

you have guys who bring you biscuits?oh wow.i suddenly want to join work.not really for the biscuits.but the whole imagery of a guy virtually carrying an almirah to office everyday suddenly seemed too appealing.

but i mean....i'd like to see some like that too......
Pass on the PJs plz. My stocks are so so very depleted these dayz.
@ Onn
He brings biscuits for the whole team. And he once brought mishti doi also... and he travels by train!!
@ Coffee
Koto harrass korchish bechara meye-ta-ke :P
@ WIAN?
But my PJs are very situational. Very. Very.
Was that a pleasant feeling, hearing Marathi? I'm hoping it wasn't - have a good time away from here while it lasts :|
Hearing Marathi was a pleasant feeling actually. Very very pleasant. And it seems like I'm not going to be back there in a while... You know what they say about "absence making the heart grow fonder."
