a day in lyf of IT
As usual..it starts with morning alarm..i try to keep it based on my daily lyf feelings..these days i have "hum kis gali ja rahe" by atif..a few snoozes n finally gettin ready in a hurry..thinkin of unbearable heat if the ofc bus is missed..
8:15 am: i head 2 my ofc bus stop..n d sun is almost out bt still a bit of cool breeze makin lyf possible..thinking a dull and mundane day it would be…i am still confused and fighting with myself…rushing through the busy roads trying to get my ID card out of bag as i m almost close to the stop..i started waiting 4 d bus 2 come..ppl around waiting in the long queue for the pool car or one of those dull PMPML bus to arrive…people give a strange look at the messy me…i wonder..why is it always so difficult to decipher their thoughts?? what is so bloody bothering them?? i can be messy..i can drop all my things on the road…but what has that gotta do with them?? i observe tht the queue breaks as soon as a box like vehicle arrives…people stacked in it almost suffocated…the strong smell of some cheap perfume, oops!! scent, makes it all the more unbearable..i still feel myself lucky to have a company bus..
8:50 am: “God give me patience. Loads of it!”..i need at that moment..sitting in my bus stucked in a huge traffic jam..either bcoz of inefficient trffic system or the small roads..with flooded vehicles..all fighting to get ahead..d one wid bikes feel themselves king..evn can get ahead on footpath..
9:20 am: finally i reach the office elevator..boring faces like zombies with tags hanging around their neck in typically formal wear..A most virtual good morning smile on each face as it can be..n i too do it the same ways..atlast itz abt corporate..Patience is virtue, you utter as you keep staring like another zombie…
9:25: Fortunately or unfortunately..m searching for a card to swipe in..n as usual after this i finally reach my desk..i get a cup of tea and fresh water for myself..same old work…sometimes i wonder what actually i do?? what do i do to get paid?? well there is not much time to brood..i switch on your machine and start browsing through my mailbox…few familiar names appear – a few updates on work status..a few dumb instructions from boss n broadcast..friends updating their offshore stay, a couple of forwards from those lovely people who have nothing else to do in life, few twitter-facebook-orkut updates and the rest junk..n as u finish browsing mails..a few important newspaper sites..n importantly the cricket updates..i look around..the girl next to me gives a friendly glance..ah!! well, i too smile back…sky-blue and white kurti with floral design, a tiny bindi matching that..lord one gets totally stunned..n cant take eyes off..and suddenly i hear the loud voice n tht stops my day dreaming and time to get on to work...
9:35: Getting bak to work..d fone rings up..its comes from d boss…this man is powerful i think, “brawnier” than the Almighty, i think…he has it all that can take my smile away in less than a second..n my brain stops thinking anything else..actually by now it has started to spin…clockwise or anti-clockwise…that’s what i try to figure out first…
its still 9:35 in the morning..n a call from boss..i try to figure what it coul be..i sign off this article as of now n pick up the call..n what i hear is....
stay tuned for more..
