A Dog And The Effect Of Insomnia!

Disclaimer: Post scribbled out of sheer frustration and wakcho mind. May be fatal in some cases. Weak and restless are cautioned- The author holds no resposibility for the reader's fury and madness after reading the blog:

Its official- I'm a wretched Head! Yes Yes, Take a Bow , Take a Bow!( though a lot of you might have already deciphered it ages ago- self realization you see is the most satisfying of'em all!). What prompted such a enlightment you may ask!. a DOG- Yes a nimble 4 legged ( or maybe 2 legged and 2 hand-convertible legs! do dogs have hands? Damn!No wonder my biology teacher hated me) tounge swagging creature made me realize this eternal truth. OK now how you may ask?? for this though you need to go throught the following not-so-long-yet-so -long touture! So if you wish to oblige the creepy author, here it goes

Yesterday,Like most of the days i was in the night shift in my office ( this was a swap shift). The time of the night for normal sane humans was either that of sound sleep or a cozy movie time at home. Not for me though, at 12.30 i was scuttling across the broad way of my office complex. The night was still jawan ,thanks to the brightly lit beacon like lights. Still an hour to go before i finally call it a day(rather night!) i was feeling sleepy and extremely lunatic. Try doing a continuous 20 day night shifts and you'll realize what shit it feels like. Unable to bear a bloody headache, i decided a tea break was what i needed. Plugging my nokia N73 music edition into my ear canals, and crooning to the music of "Its My life" , i ventured out into the calm and serene night. outside the office, therez this chaiwala bhayya from assam. He boils some excellent tea which puts sense and spirit back into my withered soul. A few pints (read tea) and some "Osmaina Buiscuts" later, i was much better if not great - headache still rampant though. I sat at the car park just outside the gate. The music playing was "Summer Of 69" . How ironic i thought here i was pathetic state of mind and there our adams was singing ode of happiness and nostalgia!...
Ok enough of digressing, u might be wondering why the dog hasnt come yet! so let me retreat back on track.

Almost when i was leaving back to my pigeon-hole( cubicle) , i saw a this tail wagging creature staring at me. It was giving me a cynical stare. I felt like, given a chance for it to speak right at that moment, it might have said " They say Dog's life is pathetic of all- BUT HOW GOOD IS YOURS!!! how great are u leading you life in that shit hole of yours". Right at that moment Mind you, 22 years of ma existance seemed like crowshit! And there i was insulted by a DOG!!! furious and exasperated, i started blaring out verbal volleys at that thing. And then started the most interesting part The Conversation with a DOG !

Me: WTF do you think you are?A silly little legged creature,a bloody loathed living being??

Doggy: Forget about me, speak for your self. What use are you of except warming your seat every day and sulking back home?

Me: I have a great career( which after almost 2 years is going no where!), i have a life of comforts and leisure, a pay that fills up my pocket( which generally dry up by the first week always!), flanky office spaces and comfort living.. al in all i've got a bloody great LIFE!

Doggy: SO, thats it? u'r gonna get stuck here for the rest of your life? sulking like ever before and working up like insane ?
Me: Who said so, i am making my plans i'm gonna have fun, work hard and party harder . I'm planning to make ma life better and great!

Doggy: yea right! like u always have been "PLANNING" since ages right!

Thats it.. that final remark was the last nail in the coffin. My Big fat ego got punchured and that made me furious( aag babula types !) and breathing fire, i almost kicked the creature( all you PETA follwers, HANG ON!! i havent done any harm to it!) , there was a tap on the shoulder!

A watchman was right behind me and was telling me " Kya Hua sir aap aisa kyo dekh rahe hai us kutte ko? main bahut der se dekh raha hu aap usko gusse se dekh rahe hai!!"

I was shaken by that comment, i looked again in the same direction and saw the dog quite a few good meters away!!

Geezz! i was delirious! i was bloody hallucinating!! .. or was i venting out my dissapointments, or is it an effect of too many night shifts ??i do not know? nonetheless, visibily shaken after a rather cranky break, i returned back to ma pigeon-hole!! realizing that i am wretched in ma head!!
So heres me modifying the great Robert Forst's lines :

The office is sickening,dark and crap,

But I have SLA's and KPI's to keep,

Now that you are cuddling up to sleep,

Dont dare to smile at me You Creep! .

The Dog and the Effect of insomnia!


SO all of you who are cursing/scolding or wondering what did i write about here: the dog, me or my mundane work life, Mind you I am neither aware!! .. So if you want to catch ma head and bang it for coming up with this tourture, please read the disclaimer once more!!! i told u i'm a whako!!!
