A Day "Trying A Living"


12:00 AM - busy with thought trafficking till I snore away into eternity. snore!! nope.. sail!

7:30 AM -
kkeeekkk keeeekkk ||3||
there goes my alarm
tuppp!
7:45 AM
waking up is like a crossing a bengLoor road.
look right, look left... look right, look left.....grrrr...
zzzzzzz..... doze off again!

8:00 AM -zzzzz
8:40 AM -ZZZZZZZZZ

9:00 AM - aaaaaaaavh!!! what the heck, the alarm did not ring at all!!?
9:30 AM - all made up to be a bridegroom... to office.. but wait!! where are the first grains for my tummy.
9:40 AM
Where's the bowl! Huh! nobody washed it yesterday!!! daaa!
Lshlllllll!!!! .... ooooooooo.. so colD. Wash the bowl.
eek out some milk from that huge can. GOK how long it has been since it came out of cow's udders! Place it in oven.
beeeep! reminds me what I had done 45 secs ago.
turn over some frosty flakes,(picked up this unwanted breakfast practice, in this TryingALiving Place of mine)
gulpp....gulppp.
raavNana hoTTege aar kaasina majjige....(translates to Ravana's stomach 6 pence buttermilk; now what this means!)
9:50 AM - all set. now run. Have to make it under 9 mins today to the office! 10 AM report goes for a toss!!
9:52 AM
outside the apartments area. I am not feeling something in my pocket!.. Am feeling light!! aaaah! it's my ID card.
About turn. Run back to my place. hop skip and jump to my room over the strategically placed carpets to save the bigger carpet from getting dirty. Take the ID. Triple jump again.
9:54 AM - Back on my way..
9:55 AM
My hands are feeling light!!.. My BIG watch! forget it. I am not going back! In fact, have already forgotten.
start running

10:04 AM
Flash my badge on the office door, which remains open during business hours.
I bang into the second door; hey!! this is where I need to flash my badge! zzzkk.. zzzk..beep....
10:05 AM
On my seat. Dump the lappy aside, boot up the sleek new osx box and peek into those three 30 inch Cinema Displays!. Gaawd! I wish I had (16:9)X3 vision!
Have to settle with quadra vision I have got. quadra vision!!? Just realized it, it's not on my nose! Forgot my spectacles at home!!!
10:06 AM - Run a few scripts, Voila!! report's done in 8 mins.
10:14 AM - Whoooosh.. mail goes and rumbles up few many inboxes before making it's way to sanitized TRASH.
10:16 AM - Start fiddling with the sleek box developed by apple for telecommunication!

11:30 AM - Realize that there is nothing that I can learn from that device.

12:30 PM - Realize that there is nothing that the device can learn from me.
12:31 PM - Sashay around the 5 1/2 foot cubicles, trying to catch a sneak preview of what others are doing! being tall has its advantages!
12:32 PM -
After cutting exactly 2 corners of cubicles, walk into serene place, where the only sound is....arrrrrrrrrrr....tak..tak..arrrrrr... that's the 9 ft coke dispenser which dispenses every possible aerated drink I have ever heard. There's a button for a Lemonade too! Ignoring the distraction, walk towards that coffee dispenser. Dole out 1 large cup, add some diabetic sugar.
12:35 PM - Few attractive structures pass by. Try not to stare at them! Without my quadra vision, hard to make out if they have pimples or dimples! I make way back to my box.
12:40 PM - The brown liquid has wetted the oesophagus awaiting it's union with mild Hcl in my tummy.
12:41 PM - few stares at the waaaaydd screens.
12:42 PM - Start trying some new tricks on OSX.
12:57 PM - But the stupid OS doesn't understand the trick at all! So give it up.
12:58 PM -
a friend pings me.. Hi Harsha. After a long time. Where are you? What are you doing at this hour!?
And just then.. TING! Report at 1 PM.
reply back.. "Me doing fine. howdee... in office now... I'm busy at the moment. I will ping you back". an one liner!


1:00 PM - This time, I will try to 'whoosh' the mail under 10 mins.
1:10 PM - Whoosh!. Birth of an email message.10 seconds later. Death of a clone of that mail.
1:11 PM - Blogs...ain't they interesting! Yeah.. exactly the way, an ant following another to the anthill becomes the most intriguing, interesting, fascinating just at the time of examination!
start exploring them.

2:00 PM - Realize that blogs are not that boring...and get inspired to use my writing skills.
2:01 PM - Writing skills are not helping much. Let me try typing skills.
2:05 PM - Fought with an anti-thought and lost the battle. the anti-thought said "good typing skills will not make a good blog". I decide to restart the battle after the one with the rumbling rats in my stomach. Hcl is ineffective.
2:10 PM - On the way home.
2:20 PM - See a BIG snail crossing the pavement. Should I wait for it to cross.
2:21 PM - Decide to help it cross. But then I placed that snail too away on the other side of the pavement. Bring it to the edge of the pavement.
Feeling happy that I have saved a life which otherwise could be stamped to death, march towards my home as though I am driving an AlfaRomeo to heaven where Morgan Freeman is totalling up my good deeds. Chitragupt is on leave!
2:25 PM - Home. Hey where's the key. I forgot that one too! Hoping against hope, shout at the door and ring the bell. boy-a-boy! my roomie is just about to leave.
2:30 PM - scavenged through the left overs of yesterday. didn't feel a thing..

3:30 PM - Do not feel like going back to office. Watch the amazing videos from ON DEMAND TV section.
3:50 PM - Lightning struck my memory and the 4PM report came out!. 10 more mins. Start running towards the office. No. I did not forget to lock the door.

4:02 PM In the office.
4:12 PM.. another whoosh!
4:13 PM - browsy fingers..
4:20 PM - Drowsy eyes. Time for coffee. I saved that coffee cup for another serving. coffee served.
4:29 PM - Caffeine starts reacting Hcl to form HydroCaffiene with the by-product of Chlorine gas.
4:30 PM - Burp!! Stinks!
4:31 PM - There's someone parking an amazing bicycle which I can see through the blinds. Admire it for another 2 mins.
4:35 PM - pull out my bookmarks. look for the feedback, review on the bikes I have chosen! And especially that fit my budget, since no salary last month. Thanks to some bureaucracy and my idiocracy.

5:40 PM - My shortlisted choice of bikes remain the same except that few more are shortlisted. Now it's my longlist of bikes.
5:41 PM - A wide angled stare at the displays. I remember that battle of blogs and start flexing my fingers again on the keyboard.

6:00 PM - Hey Harsha. u der. ? with big round eyes, this IM reminds me of "I will ping you back". Start a few pleasantries and tell her it's time for my pastries and sign off at 6:30 PM
6:31 PM - Take a longer route to convince myself that I am still physical about my life.
6:50 PM - reach home, sweating & stinking in spite of the colder sun.

7:00 PM - Chai ready by roomie. help in the formation of Hydrochailine in my tummy.
7:10 PM - Pull out the lappy, ask my roomies the songs they like. Challenge my song collection, if it's not there start downloading. (I am still not able to figure out where to get "Punjabi Mc-Billie Jean Remix" in it's mp3 format)

8:30 PM - Drawing Hall is golden. admire it for some time.
8:45 PM - I request the sun to go to the other part of the world. Sun obliges.
8:50 PM .. 'Arrey.. khaane ke liye kya banaaye?'
'sabji dekho'
'aloo gobi banaayenge'
main sprouted moong ka kosambri banaaoonga!
8:52 PM: Khachak khachak..

9:00 PM : Aloo done. Pyaaz done... khachak! poked my loving knife into the other hand. That's the 4th one in a week.
I retire from khachakking!
9:20 PM: kitchen consultancy started.
9:30 PM: aaloo gobi done. Chapati banaalo..
9:45 PM: Burp....
9:50 PM: arrey. I did not watch a movie today. Pull out a movie from my big collection, running shortest length.

11:10 PM: huh! aaawsum movie maga...have to write it onto the DVD.
11:15PM: Clicked on shutdown computer, Dring... someone pings me. haay helloo done. Then the battle of blogs resurfaces.
11:59 PM: Blog posted. Blogambo khush hua!
