When Bad is Good...

Scene 1 - Normal Shift (2 - 11 pm):
  • Meals: Lunch, snacks, dinner.

  • Reach office at 3 pm, reach home between 10-11:30 pm

  • Desk hunt - meaning go from one desk to another in sequence and chat/irritate your heart out until none is left. Then start all over again.

  • Gym? - Yes.
Scene 2 - Night Shift (6 pm - 4 am):
  • Meals: Snacks, dinner. (Very rarely a don't-know-the-name-of-the-meal at 2:30 am)
  • Reach office at 3 pm, reach home between 4-6 am
  • Desk hunt - ever seen a roaring, hungry lion in the Sahara. Actually, there is a chance you see at least a mirage in Sahara :D
  • Gym? - NO!

I am playing my part in Scene 2 for quite sometime now. Made the above list just to give an idea of the state of mind I was in all this while. It's a weird feeling - staying up alone in the floor till the wee hours of the morning. In such a setting, the general mood is one dotted with anger, frustration, restlessness and irritation. So much so, that even the best selection from my music collection - maybe for the first time - was failing to lift my mood. And all of a sudden I had an idea - when your top order fails, push someone up to slog. And moving aside my usual trusted team, I called on the top performers of the 80's and 90's musical scene. Songs like 'Mai se meena se na saaqi se', 'First time dekha tujhe dil kho gaya', 'Aashiqui mein har aashiq, ho jaata hai majboor', 'Tujhe na dekhun to chain mujhe aata nahi hai', 'Dil mera churaya kyun jab ye dil todna hi tha' (can anyone beat this one - Sanu and Anu together, a deadly nasal and banal combo!) and so on...

In a matter of minutes, I was smiling.

When in Rome, be a Roman
And when in Hell, dance with the Devil.
