FINALLY !!!!!

It had been quite sometime that I had created my profile but i never really got the incentive to write something here. Not that I had pausity of time! Nor did I lack in topics to share .... I was just procrastinating! and One October evening, when I heard two of my very close pals discussing their blog with so much of enthusiasm, I knew that was IT! I would join the bandwagon of Bloggers too!!!!!

Anything that we do for the first time is always special .... being my first blog, this is special to me too .... in more ways than one .... I dedicate this blog to my painful yet eventful phase from a student to a lawyer and then to an Advocate and thereafter to a Standing Counsel ....

It was a monday morning and my third week in this city and so far it had been fairly fair to me. Except the initial hiccups, nothing had been weird. But there was something peculiar in that monday morning that made me feel awkward. "Just the usual monday blues", I told myself .But i knew I was just comforting myself. "Whats wrong in it?" , I asked myself . "if that makes me happy!"

I came out of my building and I felt something warm in my left arm! "Damn you , you disgusting crow!", I sighed! My cleanly washed and ironed white shirt was no longer clean!

"Normal monday blues ... normal monday blues!!!" , I kept mumbling!

I went back to my room, changed and left again ... this time taking the different stairs! "No more mess ups!" , I told the tree with my angry eyes!

I had to walk a few metres to reach the bus stop. It had rained early morning and the road was clogged and was muddy! and I am sure u wouldnot be surprised if i say the car came and splased the mud on my feet. Thankfully it missed the trousers! "Normal monday blues ... normal monday blues!!!" , I kept on chanting!

Rain and Mud and Shit Bullet !!!!! I had already had enuf for the day. But the good lord had some other plans! The bus was overly stuffed and unlike other days, I was late and I couldnt let this bus go away! Three months back, at this time, I had buses lined up for me right under my room and all I had to do was run down and scream at the driver! and if he didnt stop, I could go and complain straight to the authority! Those were the days!!!

A college bus crossed my bus and I could see the smirk and the look of pity they gave. "Damn you! Wait for some years and you would be here too!", I mumbled!

My mind went back to the bus of my university.

April 2009, 11 AM , barely after an hour and half of commencement of the day, our classes got over! I went to the gate and told the guard ,

"Bhaiya, hostel ke liye bus chahiye". (I want a bus to go to the hostel)

"Abhi?" (Now?)

"Haan kyun?" (Yeah! Why?)

"Humein 10 bacche chahiye bus chalu karne ke liye" (There must be atleast 10 kids for the bus to start.)

10 out of 150 is not a large number and bang on! we had a bus always at our service! Now that I think of it, I am amazed! He actually gave us the Bus ride with JUST 10 students! and now 10 people were standing on the footboard! Student to lawyer to Advocate Phase!!!!

I reached my office and the internet was not working! "Madam, it will come after 1 hour! There is some problem with the Server! It is getting repaired" My memory went back to the computer laboratory

"Santosh bhai, Net kyun nahi chal raha! humesha weekdays me hi kyun server out of order hota hai. Sunday ko repair kyun nahi karte. Kal submission hai. We need the net!"

"Normal monday blues ... normal monday blues!!!" the chanting continued!

After one hour of no work, the net got connected! "Alls well that ends well", I had just thought when my seniour colleague, talking on phone in full volume, entered my room for more privacy!

"Richa, dheere baat karo! Mujhe sone Do!"

"Sab theek to hain na? Mood off hai? Kuch chahiye?"

"Normal monday blues ... normal monday blues!!!"

I knew this monday is not the same old monday! It was weird! I had suddenly entered into my phase of "MISSING MY OLD PLACE AND FRIENDS" mode! I kept my mind as calm as possible! I couldnt possibly infect anyone with my temper tantrum.

And there rang my phone!

"Hello"

"Hey! busy?"

"No! Tell me. Whats up!"

"Is everything alright?You sound weird"

This was the person who had mostly compensated my vacumn in life from solitude after my university days! Consoling and Helping me at every step and solving problems for the last 4 months- small and big, important and unimportant, significant and insignificant! and I spoke and spoke till Monday got over and Blues were done away with and Tuesday dawned! and I began a new day devoid of Shit Bullet, Mud splash and Rush in Bus with perfect net connection!

Alls well that Ends Well

and Alls perfect that Begins Perfect too!!!!!
