To fast and too fast!! :D
Today I'm fasting!
And guess wht, I've a bigger lunch box today than otherwise.. It has all these fast-friendly snacks, or so to say..
I've a very specific reason for fasting today.. I'm practising for Oct 18th! :) keep guessing!! I'm so excited!! :)
As usual, this great activity of mine, invited an uninterrupted discussion on the dinner table yesterday.. where dad suggested that I should be going for a medical advice before I fast.. while mom's idea was to go for a mock fast, (wherein I pretend like I'm fasting, but instead, I'm just eating a different type of food).. :D Kinshuk was quite clear that he didn't really want a long life at the risk of losing his wife.. :D and so I needn't fast!!
LOL.. I love these elaborate discussions when it comes to me.. he he..
Today, after a long time,almost one & a half months, I came in to office by the office bus.. In between, I came in either with the driver or worked from home.. And so this interesting thing happens..
I was standing on the bus stop.. and I see this guy who goes in the same bus as me.. crossing the road to get to my side of the road..where the bus comes..
Now, I've never ever spoken to this chap, I dont even know his name.. oh wait. may be Vaibhav or Saurabh.. or one of those common north indian names.. :D I'm not sure.. :D
So, he saw me from a distance.. and waved!
Err!! What? Why is he waving at me..!? The bus wasn't here as yet, and there was no point trying to signal for the bus to stop..
I tried to remember, if I'd heard someone say he was squint or sthing..
No ideA!
He was still waving enthusiastically! And was jumping between cars and trucks on the SO busy Mehrauli-badarpur road, constantly looking in my direction!!
I almost shivered..! I had done NOTHING to harm this guy.. we were unrelated. It was totally crazy for him to even 'want' to wave at me in the middle of the road, in early morning hours.
My mind was running in all directions frantically, as he was approaching towards me, with his laptop bag in one hand, and a lunch box in the other, and his IBM badge hanging round his neck and swinging like a pendulum with every step he took to come closer towards me..
COuld he be running towards me to show me how fast he cud run..?
Was he surprised to see me after a long time..?
Wa he trying to create his presence?!
Hey wait.. COuld he be doing a 'mock wave'.. in order to fool the cars rushing on the road, about his urgency to cross the road?!
By this time, I'd run out of ideas, and he had finally managed to cross the road and gasping.. almost in half breath said a 'Hi' !!
A "hi" ..!? Is that all!? I was furious - he made my mind work so much right in the morning, for no good!
I tried to stay calm and 'tried' to smile and said "hi.. whats up.? You almost died out there amidst those cars!"..
He gave me a demeaning look.. huh?
And then said, "You dont know! The bus stop has changed from here to the next signal.. And I was waving at you so that you could look in my direction and I could signal this to you.. But you seemed lost.. so I had to rush in to this side of the road, and tell you this. I dont have your no. too.. Could you pass me your cell no. ?
Ah!! Convenient!
All in one go!! This man, was not even smart, he was also a scheming bus-mate who could trick you into disclosing personal information in the air..
I pretended to feel sorry, and told him that I had come in after a long time, and that I was in Bangalore for 20 days.. I dont even understand, why there was the need to explain anything to him..! I smartly skipped the cell phone no. part.. :) lol..
He started walking, and I silently walked besides him.. There were still 5 mins for the bus to come..
"So, you stay in the K block right?", he said.
"Yeah.. (smiling), how do you know.. ? " - I'm always so curious about the why's and how's!
"No, I just saw you a couple of times near the K block gate.. I stay in the opposite colony.. ". -He.
"Oh.. ok.. ", -me.
"Whats your name again..? - me.
He smiled at this. Frankly, I was not interested in asking this question, but to hell with whoever invented the concept of "polite conversation".. :D
He held up his IBM tag up in the air to show me his full name and employee number. I swear, he looked so demented doing that thing, I almost giggled! :D
And funnily, his fingers hid his first name and only showed the "Gupta" which followed..
I smiled and said, I am Sugandh.
Ah,. the bus came at this moment.. and I jumped on to grab the window seat. :)
Mr Gupta made it a point to say "See you" like an idiot when he crossed me..
LOL!! I'm dying to narrate this to Kinshuk when I get home.. :) I'm sure he'll have some xpert comments to save the men-breed! :D
