It wasn't over yet...

On top of all the below mentioned woes, my name was mis-spelt in my salary check cheque.
So now it'll, hopefully, be encached encashed by tomorrow.

Monday Morning Blues

The way she dodges my questions really amazes me!

Add to it the fact that I found out that there are no direct buses from Bombay to Chennai and also that the Tatkal ticket booking is actually Tat-con, that too at about 6:30 in the morning...

So there I was waiting in the line, Digit magazine in hand, for more than an hour, just to find out that there were no Waiting-List-less tickets to Chennai for the weekend. By the time my turn came up, I wasn't even very sure if I should really try for it. I ain't spending 10k for a 1 hour gig, no sirree...
I might not be grinning after all, it seems.
But mind you, I haven't yet given up. That is more of Chris's forte.

If anyone wants to sponsor a one way ticket at least, I'd be more than grateful.

Harvest

Sorry for not living up to all your combined, yet measly expectations, and not posting on the 1st of January... Luckily for you, not being blessed by a hallowed post of mine on the very first day of the new year doesn't necessarily mean you won't have a good year ahead.

Crap apart, I got my first salary in over 5 months.
Ya, I am happy; it was a 'decent' amount, being 3 months' worth. For the concerned lot, the other 2 months' was given to me as part of my Full-n-Final settlement by TechM.

But that retarded grin I had, when I got into that auto, from the ATM near that petrol pump close to Shivaji Nagar, on my way to the training centre at Wakdewadi, on the 1st of January 2006, was missing. As Homer once said, "...until the weight of the world crushed my spirit".

I am very much tempted to treat myself to an Opeth gig. Now don't you feel that it's a cleverly titled post, huh, huh? Happy, Mamba?
That grin may after all reappear. Only time (about 3-4 hours) will tell...
