joie de vivre

Well behaved women never make history. That's my favorite line for now. Well describes my persona.

Life is beautiful!



So this is how I started my day. Nourishing my eyes with a view of raining rhinos, trees outside my home as green as they could get and a spread of yellow flowers adding that much appreciated gloss to my car. Uhmm... did I mention that memory of a ruined, sleepless night was part of the list? Let me give you a brief backgrounder.

Divya after having a hectic day at work on Wednesday and reading the 'ever so confusing' novel finally decides to call it a day at 01.30 AM so that she's on cue for another hectic day ahead!
2.15 AM: The night shift editor calls!
Divya: (thinking to herself) Be patient... he might just be cross checking something if his luck is with him...anything more than that, then he's definitely had it from me.
Editor: (In a mood to irritate Divya as usual)... blah blah blah
Divya: Finally speaking her heart out and giving it to him... what he deserves... a bashing beyond explanation.
Editor: But... if... no no... am just saying... I'll do it.
20 mins later.
Divya: Goodbye and good night!
Mom: Who are you shouting at in the middle of the night??
Divya: Oh don't worry! Later. Good night

And now tossing and turning as at the end of the day, the editor was (unfortunately for me) successful in ruining my night :( And when finally the dream fairy blesses me with a beautiful dream... tring tring... and this time, its a colleague! Time? 6 AM!!!

Divya: What the f*ck is wrong with everyone?
And then in a couple of hours came the most beautiful moment of the day! And that's how I started my day.

Rightly said. Tomorrow is a new day (despite the terrible night). And if you start your day at a good note, you are bound to be happy throughout. And that's what happened. Reached office, brimming with efficiency and enthusiasm, finished the major part of my work in the first 2-3 hours. Of course the weather had a major contribution as I credit the good mood almost entirely to the beautiful weather.

And then comes colleague no. 2. Bursting with energy and always with a funny story up her sleeve.


Divya: I've got some work for you.
Colleague no. 2: Sure but first listen to this funny story... and then she goes on about a stoned autowallah and even more stoned passer by... in short her take on this blessed morning.
Both together: In splits!! Rolling on the floor... laughing of course.

And so the stage was set for an equally entertaining day ahead. And without going into any details... here are the highlights... high points rather:
1. We did what girls best do! We bitched people out. (Nay, I don't do that very often, but you see, there are some people who you have to bitch out! And I know a couple of them.)
2. The highest point, and well, literally so was this man on the roof top of a neighbouring office trying out various positions and points from where he can, perhaps, commit suicide!?!? Well have never seen a guy trying out such depressing poses otherwise. He went to the lower level then. Soon after actually. May god bless his soul! Well he took the stairs, in case you are thinking in the other direction. But yes, was quite amusing.

Thanks to him and other such funny creatures around my workplace, the day passed swiftly and was quite entertaining. And soon it was time to head home!
