An incense stick burns
at the white mini-spaceship overhead
Its beeper meekly beeps
The red light's obediently red
"The fire alarm works fine, Sir,
your cabin's checked.
Just keep the smoke detector on",
the office boy said.
He heard the boy, asleep with his eyes open, but His heart bled
And the next thing He knew, His desk was a pyre.
Now He wished the office copies were unceremoniously cremated there
Or that He could get a sub or a temp from somewhere
Or that just tomorrow, He'd be free as a bird to retire.
Hari Sadu had just canned His sabbatical-in-the-making.
Burning mad, He spitefully hated that liar
And although the smoke-D had failed to catch it,
His roof, his roof, his roof was on fire..
To office goers,
Cheers. Keedas. Peace.

While most Mondays are messy, some are less painful than the others. What makes them less painful? Jaywalking & good music. Jaywalking is easy & a lot of fun. In fact, jaywalking is mandatory here. Only a successful jaywalker gets to office/college in time.
What is even more fun than jaywalking is getting to hear a killer song on the radio while just surfing through the presets. It is not uncommon to find people like me, swiftly walking the throbbing roads, skip in the step, singing along unawares with 'Jaane kyun', 'Genda Phool', 'Twist' or 'Desi Girl'.
A notch above a killer song on the radio is a killer song in the BEST bus in-house entertainment service & when you hear (& watch) 'Ek chatur naar' from 'Padosan', on your way to a Monday morning in office, things start looking up. And lines like 'o rey ghodey, aumko godaa bola; aye nigodey, aumko gaali diya ji; badi dekhi teri chaturaayi..' keep playing in your head, thus helping you retain your sanity! Such happenings make you forget how disgustingly non-chivalrous a society ours is. More on that another time.
Well, here's to Mondays & good music. And a belated Yappy Budday to Pancham 'Boss' Da. And the laser show that just got done at the sea-link was quite a spectacle; looks like this is not such a bad Monday after all!
Cheers. Keedas. Peace.
PS: Almost all of us get the new-week blues but Pandey prefers the 'Monday morning Bru's instead! :D As for me, I don't mind most Monday morning brews either :P
Blind humour:
Me (with an eye infection): Arey, which bus is that?
Muddu: Seven O seven
Me: Oh ok. Mumbai's very own Double O Seven, Bond vehicle
Muddu (long pause): Die
Me: Yes. But another day :)
And while we're talking about talking (crap) I won't be surprised if these conversations really do happen. All these couples & wannabe couples in the library nah..
Guy: So are you done with Company Final Accounts?
Girl: Yes, why?
Guy: Oh good. Then can you help me tally the balance sheet of my life?
Guy (to Girl): So.. Wanna go out for coffee? Friday evening? Friday, the 12th of June, that is..
PS: For all the happy people, 12th June is when exams end, by the way.
Audit is my sleeping pill,
I read it for Group-I mental peace,
It conveniently puts me to sleep,
And also - an overdose can kill.
Afterthought:
Pachaas pachaas kos gaao mein, jab wannabe CA bachcha raat ko timepass karta hai, toh Maa kehti hai, "Beti soo jaa, soo jaa warna Audit Module haath mein thama doongi, aur phir tujhe jabardasti sona padega"
- The title might not make much sense to everyone. So what? Names of Chapters do not always match the content either.
- Everything in life can be explained by either a flowchart or a 2-dimensional graph.
- Subjects like Strategic Management & Information Technology are not completely useless after all. They help increase your bullshit tolerance (BST)
- High BST is important in life. It helps certain TV programmes on MTV survive.
- There is no such thing as correct grammar. Try reading ICAI publications.
- Sometimes you need an illness to make you appreciate the wonder that is coconut water.
- Varun Gandhi who?
- Logging on to Facebook after a whole week can be very satisfying. Gives you the feeling of reclaiming your 'non virtual' life, becoming more 'socially configured'!
