Happy New Years...thats wat they say..hmmppphhhh!!

I had decided to abhor all worldly and materials sources of joy n pleasure….but then again …..screw the world… The new year has welcomed me in a totally shitty way. Its mainly gotta do with work yaar…sucks…the next line will sum it all up for u guys…I DON’T COME AND LEAVE OFFICE ON THE SAME DAY !!!!!! but I do leave and come to office the same day. L LMan…this new proj is suckin my life da…but then again I guess a guy has to do wat a guy has to do…I do eat drink sleep (not in that order) but then again the time of day I do all these is totally mistimed…by the way some interesting things happened so far…like a streak of joy in my sulky-loaded-with-work-life.Went for a couple of neat dates ;) again the timings were rather bizarre…early morning 3:00 am. Hehe…but still had fun. Slept in my BMW itself ;)Then was my journey back home to Thrissur to attend a school buddies wedding. Boy was that a trip…here goes…The friend in question is Manikandan. he was my school mate all thru 4th grade to +2. and he is another member of the royal mechs n he is in infy too and that too recently he moved to pune with me…neways we(our grp of 5 school mates) had decided that we wud meet up for this dudes wedding in Bangalore. The girl is from Bangalore and so the wedding was at Bangalore and the reception in Thrissur. All this was happening on the long weekend of 26th jan. also all our companies had declared the weekend long and we worked for a couple of Saturdays foreseeing this opportunity.Me n 2 other buddies from pune booked tickes in a Volvo to Bangalore. I had already booked return tickets via flight form Bangalore to Mumbai for the Saturday. We (another grp of buddies in Mumbai) had plans of partying that nite in Mumbai and I return in all my senses the Sunday after that.Well the Tuesday comes (26th is the Thursday the same week !!! ) and client comes with a change request…screw him…(forgive the xpletives…I mite be using them more often as we go … J ) PM says we all have to work the weekend so as to meet the ‘challenging’ work. Initially all said screw him. Then all gave up and I was like the only villain in the grp. After all I dint have to apply for leaves even. This was kinda my first really raw handshake with the technology too…Now the my evil twin convinced me to stay back for Thursday n Friday. I called up this guy n my buddies..they anweshikkafied dad, mom , grandmom and a few other relatives in a very ‘diplomatic’ manner and that improved my hindi n mallu vocabulary JNeways I made up my mind to go to the wedding reception on Sunday in Thrissur. So cancelled the Volvo tickets…immediately checked out the flight schedules to kerala and then dialed buddies in Mumbai. Got tickets for mum-kochi( n kochi –mumbai . the timings again were really weird but suited my ‘challenging’ work. Screw all.The flight to kochi was at midnite(Saturday 0035 hrs) Air India. So I kinda finished myh work by Friday evening and just left for Mumbai putting all tensions n ‘challenges’ back in pune. Reached Mumbai at around 10:00. still over 2 hrs…so me n a buddy went for window shopping/boozing/city sight seeing/boozing/boozing etc…again boozing…and finally reached the airport at around 11:45. still an hour to go. We were at the international airport and so spend some time there birdwatchin. Finally with the ticket I reached the nice looking air India counter to get my boarding passat around 12:00The next statement that nice looking lady told me just made me feel as if the flight just ran over me. “Sorry Sir, U cannot board this flight !!!! fuck her…screw her…wat the hell…I took over all the ‘challenges’ n cleared all the speedbreakers so that I cud reach kochi…keeping my cool(as always) I politely asked that nice lady wat the reason was like a small baby boy holdin his dick n askin his mom wat it was….She replied the gates for my flight closed at 11:40 (an hour b4 the departure) reason being this is air India and that its an international flight from DXB to kochi via Mumbai. I completely missed that point so did my buddy. Screw us.So still composed, I asked that lady wat alternatives I had. I was starting to open my bookof sorrow trying to make her get a feel of the situation. No way. That lady only looked nice. BITCH !!!!she directed me to another lady – the flight officer for that shift.Another not so nice lookin lady and she too was not so nice. Neways I went to her n told her the point directly…on her face…”mam, im on my way to my grandad’s funeral ceremony to be held in kochi at 4:00 in the morning that day. I had an interview in pune which I cudnt miss and that was y I was there at that time.” That lady(who turned out to be an evil bitch later) took a cell n dialed some number…talked some shit in marathi and finally told me that the gates of the flight have closed. And that if anybody cud open the gates it wud be the duty manager at the airport.Immediately I thanked that bitch n left to meet the airport duty manager. This time I landed up in a cube , well maintained with the window overlooking the runway. I cud c my air India flight standin down there. The guy was fat n short. Needless to say a DOG just made for the bitches I met before….i told him the whole thing again…he first gave me some chips…kerala banana chips…imagine…asshole of the finest kind…and then just said “sorry boss- nothing can be done.” I tried to xplaing the seriousness of the situation. He then took a writing pad with some sheets of paper on it. It had some numbers on it…these were as they turned out to be, the later flights that were supposed to land n take off after my air india leaves the track.his point was if he delayed one flight he wud ve to delay all the flights in the list...yeah right...i had to be an einstein to know that...but then again i tried to push my point. then finally he asked me if i thought these were BEST buses(BEST in mumbai ~ KSRTC in kerala). i bad mouthed him real bad just that the decibel levels were <20Hz. I just left tha cube gracefully and in a very composed manner.called the friend back n then immediately left to the domestic airport and got another ticket for jet air to kochi that leaves at 3:00. so again i left with my friend...we still had a couple of hours...boozed,city sight seeing and boozing again. but i made it a point to reach the airport at 2:00 :)boarded the flight. the jet hostess' were a sight for sore eyes...i swear....neat chicks. reached kerala and lived happily ever after...had no issues on the return flight though...just that the whole 36 hr fiasco left me with a set of super memories...im celebrating life.....the week after that i was in mumbai again for the bryan adams concert. he rocks man... a genuine crowd puller....no superfluous stage antics...just the old formula - good old songs. we had classy tickets and so we could actually =make out which of those guys was bryan adams. it felt good. After the concert we went clubbin at this place called polyesthers in south mumbai. another sexy place...the crowd rocks.and now its 12:05 am friday. i have just proved my above statement true.i came to office yesterday and im leaving today :) life is great...
