    I’m a jackass

    Everything was going fine in my life… in fact everything was going exceptionally well until yesterday.

    No work to worry about. However, I’m married – so…
    And, my company does not demand me to come and fill my desk without any work, so I can stay home and fill my bed for longer time.

    My dad was taking an early morning flight and was running little late and my home is good 1hour 30 minutes drive from the airport. (Damn, new airport – I hate you.) So, being a good son (in fact a very good son) I drove him to the airport around 4.30 in the morning (its like mid-night for me).

    I wanted to go to office to steal some supplies (and to see if my ID card still works) and wanted to take company transport. Little background: My home is 2 hours drive from my office in the opposite direction as the airport.

    I wanted to drive a little faster and reach home and sleep for an hour before getting on to the bus to continue my sleeping session, but life has something else for me in the store.

    Now on, I'll time the events.

    4.20AM: Start to airport… vrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrroooooooooooooooooooooooooom
    5.15AM: Say bubbyee to my dad and drive back towards home… vroom
    5.20AM: Out of airport departure area… vrrooom
    5.25AM: Out of airport premisis… vrrrrrrrrrrrooooooooooommm
    5.30AM: Burning the road… vrrrrRRRRRRRoooOOOOOOmmm
    5.31AM: Car enjoying the ride… dhud…dhud…dhud…dhud
    5.32AM: Me, suspicious on car’s intent… screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetch
    5.33AM: Turn off the engine… Zzzzz
    5:33.21AM: Realize no light around, so turn on the ignition… $#(&^$
    5:33.24AM: Get out of the car and close the door… BHAM
    5:33.28AM: Check the front wheel with my detective glasses… tan… tadan… tadan… tadan…
    5.33.55AM: No clues found… nothing whatsoever… hmmmmm
    5:35AM: Relish the fresh morning breeze… sshhhhhhh
    5.35.17AM: Open the car door
    5.35.17.011AM: Realize car kicked me out, my car kicked me out… jackass
    5.35.20AM: Woke up to reality and did a root cause analysis… huh!?!
    5.36AM: Remembered about the function I asked the sales man to include – auto locking.
    5.36.21AM: Thinking hard to get into the car… duh
    5.37AM: Brilliant idea found!!! - Call my brother to get duplicate keys… hello anybody home
    5.37.59AM to 6.40.43AM – smile at the passers by and become the clock of the day… “its 5.45AM… its 6.01.12.675AM… its 6.23AM… its 6.37.22AM… its… its…”
    6.40.44AM: Take the duplicate keys and unlock the car… beep beep
    7.40AM: Reach home… huh
    7.41AM: Got a call… hello DAD… “yea I too reached home”.

    Moral of the story: NEVER STOP WHEN YOUR CAR MAKES SOUND… IT IS FAKING.

    Break over

    Now that I came out of my cocoon, wanted to share updates and what exactly will be life inside the cocoon. :)

    I was expecting “Thanks for not writing mails from some of you, but never got any. So, I’m assuming that you actually wanted me to write”. It seems there are some laws surrounding blogs and one such law states that you should never apologize for your audience, they meant - no sorry for not posting/sorry I was making money for my employer posts. So, no sorry for you guys… in fact you should be sorry for not being able to read my blog… Okay… Apologies accepted… now that the enlightening session is over the actual blog post starts.

    Firstly, I got married!!!

    Once you are done with laughing, continue…

    Secondly, even without updating my blog I’m getting equal number of page visits… so pretty much happy that my blog is searchable. Most of the traffic is coming from Google. Thanks Goog, but its just little more time before Live curbs your enthusiasm and dominance… nevermind… continue.

    Thirdly, if you haven’t heard off – sub prime crisis in US is shaking the foundations of the economies world wide… including mine.

    I’m planning to devote at least one hour a week to write some stupid stuff and waste some disk space on the server hosting my weblog, so you’ll never be disappointed anymore. :D
