The joys of being temporarily unemployed


waking up at 11.30 am! ........
watching tv till 1.00 pm
then pondering over having something gooooooooood for lunch
finally having whatever was cooked without bothering of the nutritional and physical impacts of such boring food that is cooked by a maid........
then take a newspaper and place thy booty on that armchair which has been basking itself to the right temperature in the winter sun, sit down and wallah the ecstasy of the warm sun seeping through the skin to make me feel just right amount of coziness while the world races by worrying about how theyll mange to get out of the office to meet their girl friends/ boyfriends or friends or parents after or during office hours.
As a i close my eyes i can see the colourful circles of rainbows in my eyes as i sit in the afternoon sun and feel sleepy again, so i pick up the blanket which had been warming itself up in the sun and reach for my bed sitting on car tyres and a plank of wood made by some one really close to me and slip inside to gorges of sleep.

Waking up at a particular time is not so compulsory as i dont have to rush to an almirah of files waiting for me to be sent to some loser boss sitting in his cocoon.
Hey one thing if some of you thought NGO culture is real cool i 'd tell you its cool but the jackass bosses can belong to the either of the sexes and ruin your beautiful day so dont listen to anyone when they tell you its a flat organisation.

As evening closes in i prepare mentally for the bath which we have been conditioned to take in the morning and finally after having it i lay back again to do some channel surfing.

Message for all those searching for jobs- don't be disheartened by slight morons who refuse to see your potential, take it as 'more time to enjoy your freedom from white collar bonded labour' and keep searching, Praying for that silver lining that you have always read about coz its there somewhere just a slight delay is the mere obstacle which ll clear up just when you are about to give up hope!

Just search for those cloudy day when the sun peeps out in streaks as if hiding from you but taking care not to put you down totally so it shows up in the form of God's own fingers for its mayavi people.

Visiting the land of Aqua farming - Bhimavaram, Andhra Pradesh

I was on a work trip from Hyderabad (Telangana) to Bhimavaram by train.  Unlike other train journeys, which involve travelling overnight and eventually missing the dropping point due to a good nights sleep, this one was plagued with a co-passengers plagued with bed bugs in Indian Railways, Third AC berths. Yes those blood sucking monsters exist and thrive in Indian Railways! No I am not a senior citizen, writing about a train journey to AP in the 80s / 90's. Its 2017 and already December. Co-passengers : Aunty, Uncle and a boy. Aunty and Uncle on Lower berth. Boy on the middle berth. Me on the middle berth too. Sandwiched between aunty and another interesting player on the top berth. Cursing my luck for not getting any other seat, i decided to try sleeping to wake up fresh. The boy falls asleep, peacefully, snoring away to glory! Some very audible talking by Aunty in Telugu, or some south Indian language continues with Uncle. Seems to be they are in a happy mood, cross ...

Uncle Sam's Pizza

Udaipur - well known as the CITY OF LAKES didnot have a genuine Pizza outlet till November 07. Come 2008 and on my way from the railway station of Udaipur i see a shining board amongst some dirty travel boards. I stopped my friend immediately and we went back to check if it was really genuine! So we went back and found those round- without back support shiny little stools or chairs if you want to call them and some 4 young men eagerly searching our faces to check if we fell in the window shoppers group or just curious passers by. So we placed a delicious order of Vegi delight pizza and and some Garlic cheese bread with Jalapeno topping. So they seemed to have authentic ovens for pizza and when it came out i ll tell you how it looked and smelled but you gotta try it on your own to believe me. The waitor came with the pizza in a thermocol plate and nonbiodegradable plastic glass. Apart from that The small mushrooms just tender enough to melt in the mouth, the Green capsicum, and the oran...

The fine line between hypocrisy and advocacy.

The experienced hot shot : climate change is essential! Its going to ruin the entire future! (AND MY STOCK EXCHANGE MONEY) The lowly subordinate : yeah sure sir you bet we agree on that-climate change is going to have a diverse impact on livelihoods. The experienced hot shot : (irritated) ah well do whatever you were asked to do this morning and don’t forget to book my flight by business class and don’t forget to mention that airconditioned luxury car in our UNDP budget for climate change project. The lowly subordinate : Well if I may ask……why do ‘we’ want an AC car sir? The experienced hot shot : arrrrrrrrrrrrrrh growls, scowls and many ageing frowns later—have you ever understood the term; using for future investment {from a funder’s money}? Do you want to take that expense of the Mercedes C class from your salary? The lowly subordinate: ah well! (Gulp) now that you have made crystal clear I don’t think Sir there is anything left in the grey area but d...
