Day 1 - Beta Version

Worried - No Tired - Yes Angry - Yes I have the meeting I have waiting for so long. Yesterday evening I started feeling heavy and throat started to croak. I told my wife and she was very very understanding. Giving me all the support and cheer that you need on these occasions. The Janmasthami preparations she carried out with aplomb. Today morning I woke up with tremendous bodyache and pretty bad throat. So I called my boss and told him that I was down. I will go to hospital to get myself checked. Allah jaane, Raam jaane... kya hogaa... but I am supposed to live till 81. So lets see.

A Sober one

A tough day. Lots of money made. Tired and dead. Walking back on Churchgate in my own thoughts. A person rushes past me and hits me on the shoulder. I just try holding my own and he loses his footing and ends up sprawled all over. I pick his case up and walk to him "Kyaa karte ho bhaiya?". Neither angry nor mad. Just worried. The person gets up, gritting his teeth. "Bhaiyaa mat kehna saale". In a second, I lose my cool. "To kyaa behena kahoon" "Bas bhaiya mat kehna". A very normal person he was. Dressed well. I had nothing but absolute anger in me, boiling all over me. What the fuck does he take me for? I had all thoe thoughts of being seriously mad at him, them, those types. I cooled myself and walked away. Not even looking behind. Not a show of weakness, but absolute indifference. Something that I had felt in Switzerland and Germany. Something that I had felt in Kolkata. Something I had felt in Bangalore. Also in Pune. Also in almost all place...
