What a day !!

20:00 He is out of his bed, reluctantly. Looks at Gisele Bundchen, she still has that mercurial smile (from 8 hours ago, God alone knows how she manages it).

20:04 Alright, he is halfway through his bed, heading towards the shower. Mummy's watching the ever so interesting “Saas-Bahu” soap opera, Dad’s fixated on the idiot (as if he has a choice).

20:06 “Aaah, the icy liquid, it feels so refreshing” he says. He conjures up reasons for not leaving his humble abode this day, but all his ideas fall flat. Still in the shower, almost done with the daily routine of cleansing himself.

20:21 Out of the shower, he heads to the bedroom, frisking for his jeans and his favorite “Gunners” jersey. One of the little things that gets him pumped – the Arsenal tee.

20:29 Mum’s set the food on the table, he looks at it with those starving eyes. He is done with the chow, waiting for the call.

20:35 Sanjay calls him, it’s time to leave. He kisses Mum goodbye, thinking about the road ahead. Waves bye to his Dad.

20:39 He meets up with Sanjay, says Hi to bhaiya. Sanjay keeps blabbering about how he broke up with his girl, again (nothing new). He pretends to listen, whilst all he is thinking “When do we get there? “

20:58 Just in time and 2 minutes to spare. Srijesh questions them in an interrogatory manner, “Why did you guys turn in late?” Their reply, ”Caught up in Traffic, Sir” That alibi always bails them out.

21:03 Sitting up straight, with poise in his voice he tries to pacify, Chuck Snyder. But Chuck won’t take any of the excuses, in fact asks for a refund. It’s the first call of the first working day, it’s an escalation.

It’s a bright and sunny day, out there in

California, that is. In other news, Melvin is still struggling speaking on the headphone whilst trying to keep up with the nightlife.

Cheers.
