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...
