A business day in my life

Any week day....

6:30 AM - The alarm on the mobile goes off - its a song....whatever it is - my fingers dwiddle with the buttons to switch the alarm off. And then back to sleep......Zzzzzzzzz....

7:45 AM - The last guy leaves the bathroom and its free now. Time for action !! Get my bag of bones to get under the shower and out in a jiffy...

8:15 AM - Not out of the bathroom yet...... getting my contacts on (into my eyes). Bah....this lens is gonna get from me. Mr lens you better get in ! Or else you're gonna have the worst time of your life, I promise !!

8:20 AM - A billion dollar question.... What to wear for office today ? Formal ? Infomal ? partly formal ? which pair of trousers don't look bad with which shirt ? .....i always fear one day i'm gonna wear a green shirt, with a blue pant to match with white shoes....I have absolutely no dressing sense and i have to put up with this ordeal every single day in my life !! Why don't they have uniforms for office ?

8:45 AM - Pressed and dressed in whatever felt pleasing.....Oh my god this takes a lot of time everyday, before i leave home for office.......will deal with this later.....Now for breakfast......

9:10 AM - As i check my gmail and deals2buy, An omlette and a cold coffee (courtesy starbucks) are delivered to the digestive system.......

9: 15 AM - Pick up my car keys , Lock the house and leave for the garage which is miles away, actually a couple of steps' walk.

9: 17 AM - Head to office, with some nice music from the ipod through my car's music system......
9:28 AM - Reached office. Now find a shade and park the car, its too hot these days.....You dont want to sit in a furnace when you come back after a few hours !! Finding a suitable shade is quite a task. Need to figure out which way the shade of the tree is gonna be when the sun moves as the day progresses.....what the heck.....

Oh yeah, i forgot to tell you - i'm supposed to be at office by 8 AM everyday and i end up being around a couple of mins late (90 to be precise), EVERY SINGLE DAY !!

9:32 AM - After a few mins of walk, reach the desk and sit down. Open up the laptop and start looking at the official mails......Everybody around looks to be busy.......Me too joining the club !!

10:00 AM - Looking busy.

10:15 AM - Still looking busy.

10:45 AM - Yes.

11:15 AM - "Shall we ?". "Huh, what ? so early for lunch ?", i ask. "Its late, actually" is the reply.
Well, their faces said it. "Alright, fine. Give me 5 mins"

11:35 AM - Let's save petrol, lets do car-pooling. Pick up one of the cars and leave for home for lunch.

11:45 AM - Reach home and ponder over what to have for lunch !! Hastily cook something and fill your stomach with it.

12:50 PM - Time to get back to office

1:15 PM - Reach office for the rest of the day at work. Immediately get into looking busy !!

2:30 PM - Witness people leaving office already.

3:30 PM - Most of the day's work is done. Rest is for tomorrow !!

4:30 PM - Drive the car out to return home, but the car drives itself to KFC or Chick-fil-a.


5:15 PM - Reach home and start to tinker on my laptop. Go through tech websites, mobile phone reviews, browse through gadget gyan, scan film news, what's happening back in india ? all that stuff.......

8:45 PM - Time for dinner. Lets meet together to arrive at a critical decision......What to cook ?

9:15 PM - Start cooking.....well, something.

9:45 PM - Dinner's ready..........

10:30 PM - Stomach is filled........now for some movie or something interesting to watch on techsatish or tubetamil, until sleep takes over.....

1:30 AM - Sleep appears on the horizon and i'm taken over. Good nite.
I'm older by another day !
