Excerpts from DEAR DIARY...


I am rudely awakened at 6:33 AM to Mai’s voice shouting “DID YOU SWITCH ON THE WATER????” Apparently, Bangalore had some water problem and our tank had run dry. So there is a mad rush for us girls to get ready for office. I try to go back to sleep again but there is just way too much noise! At one point, I am so frustrated that I felt like crying. I had crashed at 3AM the previous night and wanted to sleep in but I couldn’t. Then RR comes to my room asking if she could take bath in our loo and I very grumpily agree that she can do whatever she wants as long as I can get some sleep! I know, so bad na. If you’re in my place, then you’ll know.

---

Finally managed to get myself out of the house in time for my late shuttle. I am still mostly sleep walking. Anyways, reached office and quickly got to work doing a lot of odd end stuff that needed my attention.

---

I am fasting. The last sensible meal I had was the previous day’s lunch. My mind is playing games with me and my tummy was his co-conspirator. OK, I have no idea why I just referred to my mind as a “HIM”. Weird huh? Maybe I should take some stupid FB quiz about my brain.

---

Oooh…FB! I haven’t logged in for a while. Well, important things shouldn’t be left undone. Hmm…nothing great. No one writes on my wall and I don’t get stupid “fraandship” requests anymore. Should I be happy or sad?

---

OK…my mind and tummy won. I make plans with Mai for dinner after my puja at the temple and her guitar class with her weird-young-teacher.

---

I am blog-hopping. Read a lot of Entha Hotness. No, no, no…it is NOT some porn blog. It’s this really wild and funny dame who writes about such hilarious things that sounds like most of us when we talk to ourselves in our mind. Wat? You don’t do that? Huh! OK…I talk to myself a lot and I feel kindred reading her blog.

---

VJ comes online. He finds our chats very amusing nowadays as I’ve started swearing a lot. Only in special characters though. He keeps encouraging me to swear more and lose the special characters. (Note to self: Beware! Don’t listen to VJ.) Anyways, we had this conversation about how weird our lives are and how I make HIS life weirder. Go to hell, I say! Huh!

---

AJ is having a lot of morning sickness. Poor AJ! I wish I could do something for her. So I accompany her to the coffee corner and try to make her eat 3 dosas that her mom had packed for her. I make a bad choice and take some badam milk from the counter. Really bad choice. The milk stinks and the powder makes it stink even more. And it definitely didn’t help that AJ was right next to me downing her yummy home-made lunch of dosas with sambhar and chutney. Aaargh! I wish I could eat. :( I am so very very very sorry Pillaiyarappa. :( I am a very good girl. I dint mean to think like that. :(

---

Hmmm…I just realize I haven’t done any work after 1:00 PM and its almost 3. And I also forgot to log in for an info-session. Rolu is making eyes at me to login before anyone notices. So I dial in like a good team player and put the phone on mute. Entha Hotness and the screen-share of the info-session are vying for space in my chotu monitor :P

---

It’s almost 4 and my mentor calls me for a short sync. I asked for the sync the previous day and remembered that I really had something important to clarify with her.

---

I am back after around 30 mins. Felt nice making my mind work for a change. I guess it’s because my mentor is great. I really like her. Though, I can’t believe she is a Virgo. I’ve never really liked Virgo’s before.

---

It’s almost 4:30 PM. Another 30 mins and I need to run for my bus. I decide to work on two action items from my sync and dutifully shoot out some emails. I’m listening to that song from Omkara. That lori thing that Ajay Devgan sings. It’s kinda cute.

---

YAWN! Almost 5...and A’s voice over the music to ask about some issue is slightly irritating me. Actually, no highly irritating me. I reply as calmly as possible and get back to my mails.

---

I decide to finally pack up. Since AJ took the day off after lunch, there really is no one to say BYE to. I walk by my mentor’s desk with a small bye and amble along to my bus. It’s almost empty and I choose my fav seat and settle down with my radio.

---(PTO)---

I have so many other things to write…but WORD tells me I am in “PAGE: 3 of 3” so I think I should save it for another post. Do come back! The next one is funny, I promise. Really.
