Am I A Temple Bell??

The past few days have been like a nightmare. I Guess it was the last Friday the 13^th‘s effect working its charms on my life. There is Confusion and Chaos all around me and everyone is trying to push my buttons and ring me like a Temple Bell!

There is Chaos in office, with a stream of Never-ending work, for the non completion of which I get to hear loads of Gyaan every day! Imagine no Client Visits for 4 months and then you get 4 in one month besides other piling work to be completed. My mistake #1 was to mention that people think that it takes them three reminders to get me to do anything… I am being constantly reminded of this day in and day out at office… People I am not that bad! Please spare the Torture…

On the other hand My mum has gone on some groom hunting spree for me, sending me names and numbers of Guys in consideration. I hate this, Please God Save me! This isn’t half as interesting as a proper shopping spree. I get nervous breakdowns, cold sweats and Goosebumps. And on a completely different note I have been called a person befitting the profession of a Radio Jockey, because I just love to spread the word around. But then people I was always like this, what were you expecting out of me… be a little realistic about your expectations from me.

And I am now also the proud owner of new timepiece marvel… The latest addition to my morning alarm systems – “The Landlord 2000”. The USP of this system is that it will always ring before your actual alarm does, and will ask you to fill up water and take a bath, at times ranging between 6:30 AM to 7:30 AM, and guess what? There is NO snooze button… if u happen to miss the alarm, there will be SMS alerts for the same (Just when I thought that SMS alerts were the specialty of ICICI Bank or were used for cricket scores). The only way to get rid of the alerts is a Verbal Response “Yes! Will DO!” (I was born to fill up water at wee hours, thanks for making my dream come true!)

I think I am in some dream sequence... Coz my oh so ordinary life was never so helter-skelter!

At times I think that it is not people who bring trouble to me, they only suggest, it is I who walk head on into those troubles. For Example, Kartik just suggested in the passing yesterday that how would it feel if we walked to office from home and then climbed stairs to the 6^th floor, where our office is. Now that was just something he was wondering about, It was I, who with all my imbecility, made the mistake of trying his. The 3Km walk was fine, then came the stairs

1rst Floor: Oh this isn’t as difficult as it seemed

2^nd Floor: I climbed 2 floors , that’s it??! This isn’t going to be easy…

3^rd Floor: I feel like Edmund Hillary NOW! Will this Conquest of Everest ever end?

4^th Floor: I want to Kill Kartik, for suggesting this

5^th Floor: I’m Falling Apart, I’m Barely Breathing. But I’m holding on, I’m Barely holding on to you…

6^th Floor: Kill ME!

On entering the office I could see the stars, the moon, I had been transported to some alien galaxy. This couldn’t be earth and definitely not my office! All of Newton’s laws of Motion have failed me. I think I will get nightmares of a never-ending loops of stairs which I will never be able to climb, for the next few days.

The only Good that came out of this week was the news of our dear friend Barun getting fixed up for marriage with Ms. Amrita Singh (Not The actor). I suggested he change his name to Saif now… Well I would like to congratulate him and wish him all the best for his future endeavors. And as for me, I hope these days of chaotic confusion end soon!
