Mumbai.

sss

There’s something for everybody here!

Personally the city engulfed me with a sense of belongingness that I’d never felt even in the city i grew up in (Kolkata - the snooze town!).

i HATE being sick. i HATE any sort of physical pain or discomfort. Then why am i having this nasty bout of cold. Why, oh why, why why !!!!

So a few days back one of my colleagues had run out of cash and dropped into the nearest SBI ATM, which was closed for lunch hour !!! Yes, an ATM in Park Street, Kolkata was closed so that the guard and his buddies could have a comfortable meal away from the scorching heat into the air-conditioned box.

So when i ran out of cash at work today, didn’t bother to visit the SBI ATM (as it was my and their lunch hour!). After a lot of hunting found an Oriental Bank ATM at the other end of the street only to be turned away as some time consuming repair work was on.

After a lot of enquiry found a Vijaya Bank ATM in an obscure part of the street. Yes, it didn’t work either! No other ATM to be found anywhere near.

And i returned back to work cashless and bewildered. Easy cash ain’t so easy!                  

Chanting in my mind: “nothing tastes as good as skinny feels”

Am not entirely convinced though. What joy there is in life without tasty fattening food. I miss the days i didn’t have to worry about anything i ate. Damn you office to make me eat the whole day (mostly chocolates!) just to keep myself awake and alert! 

Seems like a lost battle of will already!

Wanting something badly enough should be enough to make it happen. Cosmic conspiracy, perhaps? I know i could do with one.

And things falling into place isn’t enough, they crash into place every once in a while! 

So excited for the grand-folks to be back!

Home was eerily quiet of late. ‘Shanti’ is not really my thing, like to be in the midst of the hustle and ‘hulla’. Its really tough to see some action when there are only 2 people living together. More people with translates into more drama and more ‘raunak’!  

Home will feel more like Home now :)

How could i be happily devoted to a job which requires me to sit, and sit quietly at that, in one place for hours at a stretch.

But like all not-so-happy experiences, its rich on learning.

So I trade enthusiasm for paycheck wisdom.

I pretty much had the worst Monday ever. Whole day bitterly regretted over-sleeping the previous day. My (in)efficiency and (un)productivity hit an all-time low as I yawned through the day to a blasting headache with a frown fixed upon my sleepy face.

What a day at spa doesn’t do, a fully nonsense conversation can do!

Having a really long talk which didn’t make any sense at all is all i needed to shake off the Monday blues and get set for the remaining week days and the pitless pile of work!

But then again, it’s hardly a surprise! 

“If you’ve got to be a bear, be a grizzly!”

So excited to be blogging again!!

Thanks to Guddi!! I wonder if weren’t for him would i be totally handicapped (or ignorant) or would i make more effort (and be smarter)!

Anyway, always happy to discover new things and until the novelty wears off get used to it!
