Saturday sani!!

It was 5:00AM IST on Saturday when I started from Office after having completed my marathon release, which lasted 2 days (incidentally I had left office only by 4 on Friday and missed dinner on both days), thanks to a ultra-perfectionist on-site coordinator, who thought it more prudent to give a message box that said ‘Enter the month’ instead of a configuration file for a DTS task on SQL Server. Such was her intention of building a User friendly process that she was Ok even with an empty message box, but not an ini file! Ammmmmmmmmmmmmmmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa......drove me up the wall!!!It is not ignorance that drives me mad as much as the exhibition of it...well, I seem to run into too many such specimens of late!!!

I managed to convince her about the ini approach and finally got on to my bike..my mobile was out of charge..so I would not be able to enjoy my usual quota of early morning radio L..Waded through the so-called road from my office to sholinganallur at unusually slow speeds..I didn’t want to go at my usual 80-90kmph...and i had decided to go by ECR..cruising at 40-50..the world engulfed in darkness..my Yamaha cutting through..and a strong sense of nostalgia took over me..my night shift days when i used to drive on ECR on my way back home at about 6:00 AM......sleeping while you drive..driving as you sleep..the cold wind blowing on your face .. great feeling!here it was back again...i distinctly remember the stretch from the point where the connection road meets ECR to Marrybrown..my eyes were closed..it was as if I was lying flat at home...no lights..no disturbance..except that I was driving!! No brakes applied and no sudden thrusts required...i was on a flying machine..couple of short naps..and i was at home in 60 minutes..

Little did i know that this journey was going to hurt me so badly...i’ve been down with severe cold, throat pain and fever for the past 3-4 days..my appetite is gone..can hardly taste a thing now Lno respite..so how long will this persist??

Given a chance, i will definitely drive in the dark again, though i should get a bullet/cruiser..A 100cc just isn’t good enough on ECR..no insults meant to my King size libero’s capabilities!!

What the heck...office again ..tomorrow....??!
