Treat Mania!!!

Today, I hogged!

After a long time I have eaten more than I should or can.

A friendly batter and have ended up with an over stuffed tummy and drowsiness.
I have only one wish. To curdle up in a bed & sleep.
Yes, I also wish that I had eaten less. But, what is done is done.

It started as a friendly leg pulling of a colleague in office while wishing him on his anniversary.
It went forward with a promise that he would treat us to lunch.

(Un)fortunately I didn't take him seriously and ate my tiffin as soon as it was lunch hour not to forget that I had eaten a Samosa earlier in the morning i.e. after coming to office and today wonders of wonder had even had breakfast in the morning before leaving for work!

So, here it was an array of irresistible food items spread across for us to enjoy.
We did full Justice to the food and enjoyed every bit of it. We even reordered a specific delicacy and wrapped it up with sweets.

Considering the amount of intake of food, I guess my current situation was inevitable.

I am looking for the first opportunity to slip out of office and go home and drift into sweet slumber.

Life Goes On!!!

Yes no matter what Life goes on..
I'm sounding philosophical....

But what to do.. an incident today made me think like this..

We keep talking about our job and better pay packages. But, people have more in life to look at and bear.

The dhaba wala near my office in Okhla is a person who believes in simple living and high thinking, ie when it comes to his business. He serves only thali and rice plate.

Today, like any other day, I along with my colleagues walked out of office to have Lunch at the Dhaba. From a distance we could see unusually heavy crowd. We learned that the MCD team has come over to clean the encroached areas.

We still walked up to the Dhaba wala and was told very calmly by him "Bus 15 min". On probing further we were told that they were intimated yesterday itself to expect a raid today. So, they had already packed most of their stuff in advance and that the MCD vehicle would go in 15 min max and they would serve food then. He also told very matter of factly that they send the monthly 'Kharcha Pani' to the concerned official and there was nothing to worry about.

The whole attitude and his reactions were making it clear that he is used to such things and they are part of the business.

His reactions could be equated to our month end stress of closing!

As promised after about 20 mins all did become 'NORMAL' again and people were having there lunch as if nothing had happened...

Back With My Scooter

In my last post I had shared my experience of dancing while driving.

The new experience makes me laugh and thank God at the same time.
Well, not so long ago as always I was getting ready to leave for home.

So as usual after collecting my stuff which include a bag, an empty tiffin, the helmet, the jacket, then connected the mobile to the hands free, switched on the FM, wore my anti-glare, located the scooters key (phew!) and walked out.

As soon as I walked out of the building I saw two of my colleagues coming back from a meeting and after exchanging good byes we continued our respective task, I started walking to the parking and they puffing there already lite cigarettes.

Again, as always I placed the tiffin and then my bag in the front carrier of my scooter, unlocked the scooter, wore the helmet, pulled it off stand, turned it in the direction of the road, put the stand back, kick started it, boarded it and when I was about to put it in gear I saw another of my colleague joining the earlier ones. He was standing at the corner of the road and my naughty self was in mood of full action.
The scooter moved and I stopped it right in front of my colleague trying to make him edgy by racing the accelerator and making the scooter move forward a notch and then stopping it again.
Soon I decided to let go (after all it was my petrol which was burning!). After another round of good byes I started off.

The scooter lunged forward and before I could realise I along with my scooter was on the ground.
The first instinct was to get up and hope no one has seen me fall...

Unfortunately I saw not just my colleagues but security guards, drivers and other people present there run towards me.

The colleague whom I was troubling reached me first and help me remove my helmet and assess the damage. Nothing much was evident that time.

Now the million dollar question... How did it happen?
I don't know.
My colleagues.. don't know. They heard a loud bang and saw me flat on the ground.

The line "Humpty Dumpty had a great fall" came to my mind and seemed so apt.
I started laughing and my colleagues joined me.

I suddenly remembered to access the damage done to my scooter and was hurt to see what had happened.

Anyways when I reached home I realised the full impact of the fall as my both palms, knees and stomach were paining. My right hand had suffered the biggest blow and was scratched from the elbow to the palm with blood oozing out nicely.

A freak accident, but a thought which came to my mind seconds after the fall was Thank You God for this and not something bigger!

Well the physical damage I suffered has almost healed but till date I don't know how it happened.
