One Not So Fine Early Morning ....

One very early morning, that is at around sharp 5.30 a.m., as i was enjoying a very peaceful sleep, i woke up suddenly because of a freakin power-cut ...and as soon as that happened i cud hear a mosquito buzzing near my ear ... man did i feel like choppin off a few heads ... it felt as if they knew that this power-cut wud happen exactly at that very particular time ... do they have some collaboration with GRIDCO or somethin??? seriously, just as the fan stopped, 3-4 mosquitoes had surrounded me and were ready to attack ... just think that y didn't they just get wiped out in the ice age ... anyways i lied on the bed shooin away the mosquitoes for a few minutes just hoping for a miracle which wud bring back the electricity ... but don't think it was a day for miracles ... anyways i decided i had to take matter into my own hands ... so i got up from bed and went outside my dad's room to do somethin when i just realised that i cud do it myself ... u must be wonderin wat i'm talkin bout but actually we have a Diesel Generator in our quarters ;) ... so i went n told the guard to just go n switch on the generator so that i cud continue my sleep ... then i just threw myself on the bed waitin n waitin for the power to come back ... but it didn't come back for another five minutes but in these five minutes i had thought about a whole lot of things ... like first, where will Wipro decide to dump all of us??? i had heard either Bangalore or Hyderabad ... so i thought that i know about B'lore ... lotsa power-cuts in that city, atleast when i lived there which is a very long time back ... and then i thought about Hyd ... i started imaginin this thing that i'm talkin to this man in his late 40's who'll be my future land-lord n i'd be askin him "does this flat get 24 hours electricity n water or not???" n i believ he replies in his typical southie accent (to be read in a southie accent ... if u don't know how to, then try holding ur noise n speak stratchin each n every syllable ... i hope that works ... never tried it myself ...) "haanji ... 24 hours power n water we get, excluding the 2-3 hours power cuts in the mornings n evenings" ... i just wonder then that how many hours does this guy have in a day ... 30 ?? man this guy must certainly be married to have such long days ... anyways then i thought bout B'lore n whether still they hav their frequent power-cuts or not ... i then thought about some various devices that wud help me cope up with the heat ... first i thought about the inverter(aka UPS) for my flat but then who knows how long i'd eb stayin out there ... i then wondered if they had this fan , u know table fan that works on batteries ... i think that so many things have been invented then y not this ... but i guess a table fan can't run on 2 1.5V batteries .. so i then thought about the batteries used in inverters ... many they must have built some device that uses a battery and has an output plug-point to connect a very few appliances ... man was i drivin myself crazy that mornin ... i just cudn't stop thinkin crazy stuff ... this happened till i realized that the power was back on n it was 7.00 a.m. ... ok ... i had wasted so much valuable time just thinkin about trashy things but hey, u never know, this cud very well happen in my future ... anyways i slept nicely till 10 after that n by the time i woke up i had very faint memory of all the things i just wrote above ... tak care ppl ...

To My Best Friend ... Aks ...

Hi ppl ... i'm back ... but only to say that time's not fine around me ... lots of things happened in the past but not as bad as wat happened on April 1st ... life played a f&%&^# joke on me n a lot of people ... i lost my best friend to God in an accident in the f&%&^@ water of Puri ... he's gone now and i'm left alone here ... he was my room-mate n also one of the closest friends i ever had ... just can't forget when i saw his lifeless body in front of me ... a guy who was always full-of-life n then he didn't have any life left in him ... n now i can just see 2 pics in my mind ... one of his smilin face n then next his lifeless face ... i just cudn't think wat to think that nite when we were all waitin for his unfortunate mother to come n get the news of her only son passin away ... can't describ the feelin in words ... all i know that his family , me n a lot of my frens hav suffered a great loss ... a friend who always taught me wat was Right n Wrong ... who was with me in all my good n bad times ... who always consoled me when i was down ... he always told me wat to do when i cudn't think clearly bout any problem ... n now ... after 3 days ... i miss him ... i miss him teasin me ... i miss his presence around the room even though we didn't speak much ... i even miss the silence between us ... we hav had so many fun times together n hav always been on various adventures ... i remember there was a time when ppl called us both as "Saaya n Blouse" cos we were inseparable ... he wanted to do so much in his life n now ........ i feel sad but most sad for his mom and his sisters ... he was a big 'laadla' in his family being the youngest ... his mom had so much expectations from him n i know that he always thought of only livin upto them ... just a few more days n he'd hav joined Infy and his mom wud hav been able to retire ... why god why? ... why give so much grief to them ??? ... all i hope is that he'd be in a very peaceful place rite now n that somehow his family learn to live their lifes in peace n happiness in his absence which is very unlikely but i pray to God to atleast give them that much ... i know life has to move on for us too n i'm sincerely tryin to by distractin myself but don't know how much i can keep up wit the act ... lets all just pray for peace to his soul ... Bye Akschat ... Loved u too much ... u'll always be in my heart n i can never forget how important u r to me ... bye ....
