Sometimes the mind goes blank. Today is like that. I woke up
early. (not earlier than my weekday routine timing!). Brought milk and curd. Had
my coffee. Bath. Went to Bank to check the balance. Couriered a document to
friend. Went for a long journey via Nagarbhavi to Malleswaram (there is a
reason for this too. We cannot go through Nayandahalli which is a pain to pass
through in any vehicle, any day, any time of the day!) Reached Malleswaram. Went
to LIC office. There were three counters. None of the counters had the queue
moving. May be each person had more than two premiums to pay. (LIC should make
a special counter for single premium payer, like they do in Star Bazaar) Some
guy announced that there is a fourth counter. As usual all the tail enders
rushed and formed the new queue, again I was at the end! The lady in the counter was painfully slow. She was coughing horribly (God! Why doesn’t
she take Glycodin syrup?). Finally I paid my premium and left from there. Went
to my friend’s cd store. Found my most favourite Carnatic Classical singers’
latest albums. Purchased them. Had a tea at his store which came from his home.
A real good masala tea.
Again started from there to Vijayanagar. I was really absent
minded. A very bad trait. Was listening to Aruna Sairam (my most fave singer
among the lot). I was trying to park near Shanti Sagar and suddenly discovered
that Shanti Sagar is little further.
Then I made a blunder. I swerved to the left without
bothering to look back and a youth in a car which had already put on his right signal
dangerously swerved to the right and I suddenly realized that I am going to hit
the car and I again swerved to the right averting a major accident. That youth
must have had his heart in his mouth! He was furious. I rushed to him and apologised
profusely and hurried further.
I can’t tell anyone at home, so I am chronicling the incident!
Reached home. Had food.
Slept. Again left for another round to Vijayanagar. This time to pay the instalment
for my site which is being a carrot in front of me since 2006! There is a
controversy. I feel it was my wife Usha who suggested regarding buying a site
and she is sure that I am the culprit!
I faced another embarrassing moment in the office where I
was supposed to pay the money. I pulled out the old receipts and there was this
really unwanted letter! The letter was an accusation on the person who is the
president of this housing society! He saw the letter and laughed. You are
keeping this? Even if hundred more such letters come, I shall still be elected
as the president. I should kick myself
for keeping that letter.
Now I am at my pc writing this. Feeling hungry. My daughter
has cut cucumber. So I stop here!
