Kcab on the Blog

A forced hiatus from my desk at Coimbatore kept me away for the last 10 days or more..Had to go to HQ in God's Own Country ( after a lovely train journey back from there, I know why they call it that!)

It was a good 10 days..turned 26 the day i reached Trivandrum (or thiruvananthapuram, if you think your tongue's upto the task!!)..people at work somehow knew it was my birthday..had quite a few people wishing me..and boy did it feel good!! Received a birthday gift too!!Howzaat!!And wait..the grand finale...my very own personalised BIRTHDAY CAKE!!!! That last one was courtesy my friends at work..I got a bit of it on my face too..but that was ok..can't complain there..(guys if you are reading this..THANKS!!)

Now I am back in Coimbatore..the next couple of weeks are gonna be really busy..but considering the fact that I have been jobless for a while now, I shouldn't be complaining. (That's the second time I've typed that! What CAN one complain about then??) Oh yes!! There is something I can whine about..My Journey!!

The person up there must really hate me..I know it's Him 'coz i dont think the guy who issues tickets/berths in Indian Railways knows me enough to hate me! I never ever ver get a travelling companion to my liking (read 'single, attractive, AND female). This time i was stuck with a family of 5-gramps, dad and mom AND a very very noisy brat of a kid! He kept shouting and bawling all the way from the time I joined them in the train till I left it! If i had it with me, I would have shoved a dirty sock in his mouth! I could understand it if he were a baby..but this thing was about 6-7 years old! Gawd!! As for my journey to trivandrum..it was quite lonely..i had no one in the seat next to me..that was good coz it was night and I could do with some sleep..but the bus driver thought otherwise and he treated me to a noisy excuse for a movie..that too one with no actresses worth my tired sleepy eyes. There was only one guy filling the screen all the while..and his eyes were as red as mine..only difference being that mine were read with sleeplessness and his with screen anger..din't shut my eyes for a loong while that night.

To all my blogland buddies whom I have not been visiting, the inconvenience is regretted. I will set about my visits soon..

I will be back!
