Tired minds...

Scene: Monday Morning.

Setup: Bedroom

Character: You!

Rrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiing........... There goes the alarm to wake you up 'on time'(ya right, as if you gonna spring right up when it rings...)

You linger around your bed, try and open your eyes- your eyes feeling like its a human rights violation to ask them to open up....

Yaaaawwwn, and somehow you brush your teeth, get all chores done, and you finally find yourself standing in front of the mirror, all snazzily dressed up and ready to go. Ho-Hummmm... you wish for Saturday to come again....

You set out towards the Bus stop... You see no one at the stop- "Hah", u say..."No one's come yet!" . No sooner you finish thinking that sentence, than you see the bus already gone!! "Damn, don't bus drivers have Monday Blues while waking up, that they come on time!?!??" And while you are mouthing these lines, another bus pulls up. You hurriedly sprint across to the bus, waving frantically for it to stop. Chances are, If you are a gal, the bus driver will stop for you.. If you a guy, this is one time you wish you were a gal- to have a little chance of getting on the bus!

Assuming you get on the bus, you find yourself seated comfortably (yay, there is God after all!) Again, If you're a gal, you have the seats reserved (though some jerks think otherwise). If you a guy, well, you'll probably adjust well... and no, you won't think again to be a gal... if you get that thought again, do consider some major counselling before you actually go ahead with the same.

Conductor comes up to you, you show your bus pass. Bus pass has expired. You give him a 10 Rupees ka note, and he says," chhutta chahiye, nahi toh agla bus pakdo"... "Why me?", you say...You then have to scourge your wallet, bag and what not to arrive at the perfect change. The conductor then hands you the ticket with a smile so deviant, you can really know that he feels he got one-up on you...

All this, and you ain't at work yet!!

You reach office. Then what follows are:
- Endless meetings within each departments
- Resolving conflicts
- I.T Routine Maintenance checks- which means you can't use your Computer for a while...
- Targets and deadlines, which on saturday were achieved, yet the clients extend the same.
- Communicating with people who can't speak in English or Hindi, and they expect you to know THEIR mother tongue! (Illay! Yenda Rascala!!)
- Calling all vendors to resolve issues. They then behave like government bureaucrats and think they are one-up on us, coz they feel only THEY can solve the issue.

And then you have lunch!

You open up the lunchbox, and see what you don’t like. Bitter gourd with some other vegetables! The only food item available at the canteen is Misal Pav, which again is horrendously made. You go ahead and eat the bitter gourd with rotis, and ask god if he’s a part of a conspiracy theory against you!

Somehow, you grind your nose till office ends.

While returning home, you get caught up in a traffic jam that makes you wonder why they call it a traffic 'Jam', especially when Jam is somethin so wonderful to have.

You come home. Then all of a sudden, the bed becomes the greatest possession you ever own. You just go to it, and with its great powers of seduction, it manages to convince you to sleep on it (geez, is this weird or what?) You lie down. In one split second, you feel all the frustrations of the day going out in a huff. You know its temporary to feel this way, but at least its good. You snuggle up like a baby, and just close your eyes…

No lullaby….

Then you go in a deep trance… you can hear a buzzing sound in your thoughts. You dunno what that means, yet it sounds pleasant.

Next day morning, you wake up and possible repeat the previous day.

Come Sunday morning…

The alarm stays quite…

No one wakes you up…

You feel so much freedom,

The clock ticks on, threatening to go round quickly than usual.

And then, you have your moment of retribution for the entire week…

You say “Piss off! It’s my Sunday Today!” and go back to sleep!!!
