Memoirs Contd.

1.

It was a fine Sunday morning, a bit chilly ‘coz the month was December. One of neighbors, Mama Ji, came to our house to meet my father. They were talking when I joined them. Mama Ji was telling my father why he couldn’t sleep for the last few nights, the problems he had been facing for the last few days, when I suddenly spoke, “Mama Ji, raat bhar to ullu jagte hai. Ap to ullu ban gaye ho”. I can still feel the echo of the slap.

It was my first company after the college. The first week was quite exciting but gradually I started losing interest in everything we supposed to do. One day, I was sitting on the couch in front of our cubicle. I was reading a book on Extra Sensory Perception. There was a fire extinguisher close the couch. I unconsciously opened the knob which was holding the pressure. The sound generated made everybody from the building to come out. I could not understand the situation for a moment but then my conscious mind instructed me to close the knob and run away. I followed the instructions.

I have been to Frankfurt once. We used to have a day off in a week which happened to be Sunday. On one of the ‘Sundays’ we visited ‘Main Taunas Zentrum’, a huge shopping mall in Frankfurt. An open air fashion show scheduled which was free for everyone. So, we dedicated ourselves to the fashion show. Some of us tried to act like a professional photographer and, I must say, they did a good job.

On the next day we were in the office and I was having a look at snaps. One of the models was very beautiful so I decided to upload her picture on Orkut. I was customizing the picture with the help of Picasa when I felt some one on the backrest of my chair. I thought that he was one of colleagues who also visited the MTZ along with us. I asked him, “Kitni Khoobsoorat hai na ye?” He replied, “Yes, She is”. Then I realized that it was our site lead. All of us burst into laughter.

You can watch the picture of the lady in my Orkut album.

I also visited Munchen (Munich) to attend ‘Oktober Fest (synonymous with ‘Beer Fest’)’. We really had a nice time in the Oktober Fest. At the end of the day we decided to have a photo session. After taking a few pictures, I thought about a picture with a German chick. Then I did spot a girl in the traditional German get up. I ran after her and asked, “Would you mind to have a snap with me?” Suddenly, I felt someone’s hand on my shoulder. I turned around. It was her boy friend. I told him that I just wanted to take snap with her. He said, “Sure, why not”.

This picture is also there in my Orkut album.
