been a while since i scribbled smthing...so why not something on my day so far...
After about a weeks break am working today and that too 8 hours straight(yea its sunday but am working!!!)...an the saddest part is none of the cafeteria's are open (being a sunday and some renovation going on around campus) so i have to survive the day on a muffin n a bottle of fanta...i walk out an none of the proper dine in restaurants are open and am greeted by a board We are open MOnday thru saturday 9:00am to 9:00pm (can you believe it they close down by 9;00pm when we generally decide where to have our dinner...and yea if you din't notice they are not open sundays at all...they are generally closed sounds strange isnt it...well thats my town for ya!!!)
i stroll pillar to post for about half an hour and at the end am still unsuccessful to find even a single potti kadai open or a brother selling pani poori or samosa channa or mulaga bajji(whom am i kiddin there are no potti kadais here...these guys don't even know the definition of a pani poori or a samosa channa or the hot mulaga bajji... to them its baked rice cake with potato filling and crispy fried lentil dipped in hot and sweet sos and fried hot pepper dipped in gram flour!!!)...dejected i return back to my office hoping to call up the pizza guy to get something delivered atleast a bread stick or a veggie delight...
well lookie here its almost 3 and my break is almost over...so bye bye pizza man... i should probably just gulp down the last bit of fanta that is left and get back to work and convince myself thats its jus couple more hours and then am home scot free...where something more nice would be waiting for me to dig into...
moment i step into my cabin...my boss is waiting with lunch...exactly not what i was expecting to eat but it was inviting none the less....veggie lasagna with mashed potato....we share a few laughs over lunch not bothered about the time or the work that was supposed to be completed...
Once lunch was over it was time to get back to work...before i realize its 5pm an time to go home...i head home and what awaits me at home was nothing short of a treat...my friend had made urulaikizhangu cauliflower kai...roti...Gujarati style parupu...rice...without a second thought i sit down and start enjoying this meal while watching the latest bollywood blockbluster hastey hastey (which by the way means laughter....and it jus din make me laugh one bit...)...really a nice end to a day of unusual happenings....
