"Where were you going? You seemed in a hurry. You jumped in front of my bike and the brake failed. It wouldn't have happened if the brake hadn't given away. I had the bike serviced just a few days ago. These mechanics.... huh ."
"Can you give a 100 rupees?"
"Err.. . yeah...... why?"
Stare1 ("What the....?"Straight into the eyes).
Stare2 ("Don't you know?").
Stare3 ("Give them to me now, and thats an order.").
I gave her a 100 Rs note. With a passing victory glance, she got into an auto and disappeared into the city.
I stood for a few seconds cursing myself for having lost a mindbattle to a girl again.
Again? Yes again. Many had already taken advantage of this guy's soft nature.
I reached office late. Messed up big time in my appraisal discussion(I called the boss a lazy guy who put all responsibility on me. He had discussed that taking more responsibility would help me go up. Ha ha, as if I agree.. ). Postponed my birthday party for the umpteenth time(They said they don't want it anymore!Cool then....!!) Did no work all day and stared at my office crush for just long enough for her to realise this and give me a "You're dead!" look(another moral loss!).
I lost all the games to Sagar in Urban Assault(was killed everytime), and failed to greet any of the senior guys on the floor.
Went home late, after being caught up in heavy traffic which had come to a STOP due to some jerks fighting it out at the center of the road after having already hit each other with their cars.
Found out Mom and Dad had gone out for a dinner plus second show outing and told the watchman to tell me to eat out.(I forgot my mobile at office)
Well........ that was when and how I decided never to get up early again. No sir. Never.
Another year ..
