Last Wednesday…
Strange things are happening to me these days.
Worked late on Wednesday as Thursday (2nd Oct.) was a national holiday. It was around 2 AM when I got the signal to go home. Hastily packed my stuff and proceeded to open the door. My access card was found nowhere. I remembered opening the door half an hour before, using the card. It was on the desk few minutes before I went to the washroom. I checked my bag, pockets and even went to the loo to check. Nowhere to be found.
Extremely tired and angry I shouted at the cleaner who was sleeping in the waiting area. Asked him to find it as soon as possible. The poor guy had no idea of what I was asking for. I called the security guard to help me find the card. The guard asked me to recheck my bag just in case…
I rechecked it again..and to my horror it was there. I said “no” just to avoid embarrassment and resumed the search operation. Felt guilty for my behaviour. After some time I let them go saying that I must have forgotten it in the boss’s cabin. Cunningly swiped my card unnoticed to them and asked the guard to open the gate for me.
I was smiling from inside but pretended to be serious.
Hari Puttar was a disappointment. A pathetic copy of Home Alone 1.
Watching a lot of movies these days. Old, new, war, animated, comedy, romance, thriller… Watched 4 Korean movies at one go. “A moment to remember“, “Joint Security Area“, “The Classic” and “My Sassy Girl“. All of them were very good, JSA in particular.

Yesterday..
My personal computer crashed again; I was planning to watch some skin flick. Frustrated, I banged on the CPU and now it even ceases to boot from the CD. I’m very happy now, atleast I can sleep in peace.
I went for a ride with my friend. His second hand Lambretta was almost flying at 80-90KMpH. We headed for Darya Ganj to buy some second hand Asterix comics. Instead bought some old Amar Chitra Kathas. We visited the famed “Karims” at the Jama Masjid premises in the evening. I ate like anything, now I know why people love the Karims. I love the Karims too.
I was very busy eating the kebabs then somebody called my name. I even turned around but wasnt able find any familiar face. I ignored it for the second time. Now for the third time the same voice came again, and somebody even patted me on the back. I don’t remember anything after that.
The empty glass on the table smashed to the floor as I kicked the table. I woke up with great pain as I hurt my little toe. Danny was knocking at my door.
Went to the ATM. No balance updates… wat the &@*%ing hell ..Where’s my salary ? Somebody PLZ HELP ME. I have a date on Tuesday.
