The day trend is the similar to my weekly one. The dose gets woefully stronger towards the midnight. OMG! Its about 800 at midnight!

I live in the 1st floor of an apartment. I go out to hang my towel on the string. Some guy from the street screams, “Madam!”. I turn to him. He, this time screams, “Sir ____ kaavala?”.

I waved him so as to say that I don’t need anything. Got into the house & undid my plait hair!

Update #0:
It happens, again today! An auto driver calls me “Madam”. This time not because of my hair, but my legs. Bloody guys, was it mine waxed or something? Ho Man! The world around conspires to make parody of me! :(

• Was thinking of 3 people in the past 2 weeks with whom I had lost contact. All the 3 got in touch in some way or the other. :)
• Wanted to watch a particular movie one more time. Felt a little lethargic to find it. A few days back happened go to my colleague’s place. He offers me a DVD which has this movie along with a few others. You know how my face bloomed? :)
• I generally walk back home from work. Yesterday, while walking, was thinking how this recreation & resort culture is upcoming. How one has to attract tourists, the facilities that can be offered, etc. Whether it has to be a farmland or some hill-station, activity centric or for relaxation, all such & such,… I reach home & I see my roomie. Asked where he has been for the weekend. He replies, “Been to _this_ hill-station to see a land to buy. Thinking of developing a commercial property!”.
• Mutual funds is other thing. Was looking for a good one last week. Someone who doesn’t know about this, sends me a link on how to choose the right one.!

Like the Alchemist says, something like “When you are in need, the whole world around conspires to help you in getting that”. Hope the trend continues. :)

WYTIWYG: What You Think Is What You Get.

He was never a fisherman, but had a strong desire to become one. Having nothing to do today, he thought of doing some fishing. There is plenty of fish out-there in the lake nearby. He’s amateurish & wanted some fun. He took his rod & went on a float. Stopped it somewhere in the middle, hooked up a bait & dropped into the water. A few minutes passed by & still no fish. He waited.

Meanwhile, a large fish felt its boredom to be killing. It also wanted some fun. Seeing the bait, it knew that someone is out-there to play with. It came up to the surface & flipped the water with its tail fin. He got alerted with this & gave a jerk to his bait. The fish too got enthused. It came up again & popped its head to see who the bloody he is. He came to the edge of the float, to have a proper look at what this fish is upto.

The fish got a good glimpse of he & decided he to be the right person to play with. It went near the bait, took a mouthful & pulled deep inside the water. He having no support, fell in the lake & sinked eventually. Being hurt with the bait, the fish helped itself away from it & swam far-off. He was later fished-out, pale & tired, but alive.

He then lay by the shore & watched all the fishy activity. He cannot go home with nothing to eat. He needs fish to support his family. I donno when he’ll plunge.

Update #0: After the dinner today, I sat down to catchup with something on TV. Went thro’ all the movie channels & in Zee Studio, a Tom Hanks movie was running. Hoping it to be good, kept aside the remote & relaxed on the chair. Then I realized that coincidence, after watching it for a few minutes. Splash was running. Guess what? The girl whom Tom Hanks loves is a mermaid. I guess, its a kinda fish. The rest is left to your imagination. :)

Today, on my way to lunch, saw one of my colleague to be in the lobby talking to someone over phone. I’m done having food, while returning, I witnessed the same sight. He was still talking. Then, I noticed his mobile phone. Its the same as my mine. I didn’t know what to say. Wondered who is on the other side of the line. Wondered what would be the subject of that useless conversation. Wondered how much of torture he is going thro’. Wondered how much his phone bill be. Wondered why I’m bothered. So, paused for a second & moved on. :)

Btw, today is International Men’s Day. Did you blurted, “So what?”? Yeah! So what? :)
