Place : My company bus
Time : 8:30 AM
It was a boring monday morning again and resisting cloudy climate was making it more hard to get into the mood of office. In the bunch of some serious professionals (As I was sitting in the front side where only these type of people prefer to sit :S) and with FM broadcasting some pathetic movie songs, the morning sounded more dull.
I decided to take a nap but as soon as I removed my headphones, I heard a typical women talk on my next seat. Two women were talking so loudly, it was hard to ignore them
W1 : I am fed up of this work yaar, didnt even get any time to look at myself during the weekend.
W2 : Hmm n same is d story at my end, had to shop for child as his school would start this week, a lot of laundry work plus kaamvali didn't come so had to do all the housework, it was pretty exausting!
W1 : Ohh, I had planned many things for this weekend but as we got those relatives at house, all plannings changed.
W2 : I wish we could get one more day in weekend. At home, everything is getting out of order and at office, project is burning. Have project delivery on wed and we are still doing these stupid changes.
while listening to this, I tried my best to take my attention away from them and concentrate on something else, as I knew this conversation is never gonna stop. But thanks to my luck (don't know if it was good or bad) I heard the same kinda conversation on the back seat, this time between two men!
M1 : Had to go for an interview last week, bacche ka admission lena tha! Saala khud ke liye kabhi itna prepare nahi kiya maine jitna iske admission ke liye karna pada! And the money I spent on my BE was less than the money I spent for his admission in nursery. Pata nahi aage kya honevala hai.
M2 : hehe ha I know man but believe me this is just the beginning. Still ur kid is in nursary, till the time he goes to college, I bet your bank balance will be less than your kid's pocket-money!
This was again more than enough. So I resisted my urge of getting involve in their conversation before it go on the track of inflation and growing rates.
Problems at house, money matters, professional tensions, decreasing quality time and so on, were the crucial topics in every conversation.
I put on my headphones again, hit my FM and it started
Ye bheja garden hai...
aur tension maali hai...
Man ka Taanpura,
Frustation me chede ek hi raag,
Bhag D K Bose!!!
