I don’t know how many of us can foresee an eventful day when we wake up early morning. I couldn’t either and hence this article comes up :-)
It was like everything had to go wrong for me right from the word ‘go’. When I was taking mummy to the hotel from the hospital, the taxi driver took a longer route and I ended up paying out of my shallow pockets. He didn’t have the necessary change to give me too. Then on my way to the office I encountered another driver who did a similar thing by taking a longer route. I guess every one was briefed about taking their passengers on a ‘joy ride’ today by the Taxi Union. By the time my day was over and I met mummy again at the room, I took another taxi ride to the station. This time the driver didn’t have even 2 rupees to pay me the extra change for Rs. 20. So I obliged by fishing out the last penny that I could find from my big bag and yet it was 50ps less which he didn’t mind :-)
Coming back home, I got a seat for a change in the 6:26 Borivli Fast and I was thrilled at this small achievement. I would be sleeping all the way to my destination, I said to myself. I was tired, frustrated, sleepy, hungry…and all that comes with the evening. But I soon discovered the worst when I almost choked and drenched in my sweat because of the lack of fresh air :-( Another addition to the list of my bad day drama.
Why did it have to rain today? whats wrong with the gods? and then there’s no time for me to wear my jacket in the rush hour and I can’t be wearing it in the locals so out I go in the rains with my umbrella and get my sleeves completely wet. I did not have to worry about my trousers since the rains took care of it quite easily. Reaching at my doorstep, I suddenly realised I had to rev up my car and I had feeling that something was wrong with the machine and my fears weren’t misplaced at all. The car’s not ‘feeling well’ and I will have to take it to the service station sooner or later. Coming home, I was happy that the tap was running with water and I quickly decided to take some hot bath and the moment I stepped inside the bathroom, it let out a few drops and mocked at me :-( I am so happy that I will end this dreadful day soon by going to bed early.
On the personal front, I feel too confused too jumbled up. I think I am looking for someone all the time. I need to see a psychiatrist before I break down completely :-(
my, my u sound mighty depressed.
oh elroy..you have no idea how it was yesterday. It was a mighty surge of depression :-(
Hello – its nice to know you can still pen a nice article when you are so depressed, so its a matter of looking at the silver lining. Good things come to those who wait and your good thing might be just round the corner for all you know.. chin up and chest out buddy!!
