A typical Day : Part1

Venue: Snow covered mountains and the greens beyond. As far as the vision permits, it is a scenic and serene surrounding.
Temperature: 15 Degrees above 0.
Venue: The Himalayas (Imagine any mountain for that matter…Won’t make a difference…All mountains are the same)
TIME: Morning

“ You have been one of the best thing that ever happened to me, Ankit”, I heard her lips move. “ Isn’t it beautiful how two people can come so close in such a small time. I wish I had met you before”

“oh Shikha, I…”
“ No, let me speak”, and she came close! “ I have been thinking of saying this thing to you for so long, but never could muster enough courage. But today, it is a fantastic day. I am going to bare my soul to you today”
She spoke softly, and came even closer. Her hands over my neck, circling like a garland. I wished that everything else would disappear. Just she and me!
“ I wanted to say since so long that I…..”
“Yes Shikha..” My mouth watered…Heartbeats raised !! She was going to propose!
“I..”
“yes….yes…”
“I Love…”
“yes, go on!!” The heart beat rate was well over the threshold !
“ I LOVE ……..
*Beep Beep *
*Beep Beep *
“ Sorry, Its my phone…Can U get it from the table??”
Darn ! There are times when you feel that world would have done more progress on the love front, had these cellular companies, not come under picture. That small gadget was looking like a sinister Cluster bomb to me. N I wanted it to meet the same fate.

“yeah, Let me switch it off for you”. I took the phone, n cancelled the call.

But to my utter surprise, the phone KEPT ON RINGING !!
HOWZ that Possible????
I tried again, the phone kept on ringing, and the ringing was growing aloud with each passing second !
This was impossible……..Unless it is a…………………..NO !!!

This cannot be!!
Not this time!!

No!!
…..NO!!!
……………………………..NO !!!!!
I found myself falling down a black endless tunnel. The fall breaks with the sound of a NOKIA Beep
Beep beep…….
Beep Beep…….
The alarm Clock!
It was a dream.
Hell…..What the heck!!! Couldn’t I have kept the alarm after 5 minutes ???
Darn..!! The girl I have been thinking about day and night……She was gonna propose to me !! N this Yuck phone had to spoil this all !! I am gonna sue Nokia ! Couldn’t the dream last a few more minutes?? Maybe, sleeping again continues the dream from where it is left. Or maybe, If I am lucky, I will get the dream continued tonight!
I slugged out from the bed, to fumble and reach the alarm clock.
WHAT??????????????
It can’t be 9:40. It can’t be! Laws of physics have come to haunt me! There is a time warp! Today is the all important presentation in the office!! How can it be 9:40? It Simply cannot be!
Yet it was….My roomie had left for the office, without taking the bother to wake me up !
“That rotten bastard….What have I not done for him! N today, when I most needed him….He desserts me! God curse them all…..Man!! I am doomed!!”
The day had started ominously. First I lost Shikha, and then I got up late. And now, I will hear Boss’ tirade. And then, maybe my credit, and then……who knows!!

The optimist within me gnarled, “ You still have 20 minutes to make it to the presentation hall ! You R beaten only if You think you are!! ”
“Getting a new wave of excitement within my blood, I spurted on my feet.
I started making this checklist of imp things to be done!!
“Brush…..??”
“Naah…..Not needed, I brushed yesterday”
“Toilet..??”
“Our office has got a good one!”
“Bath??”
“U crazy?? In a crisis like THIS??? U just had one day before yesterday…Or maybe before that! Spare the trouble !!”
I thanked GOD for as important an invention as a deodorant. This useful invention has been responsible for eliminating most of the pollution from earth. So what if it causes global warming !!!

Got hold of a T-Shirt, and jeans in quick succession !! Hairs?? Why bother….Get a comb n get it done during walk to the office! I dashed out, locking my room!

The dog on the street glanced at me. And then took off in the opposite direction.

I couldn’t understand why!!
