The 31st of December ? No Big deal !

Hi guys,

        Guess how my day started today ? I woke up earlier than usual (by my standards, of course). Sat in front of the PC, searching for some content on Blackberry applcation development.  I have challenged myself to finish atleast 10 apps by the end of this week , so its gonna be hectic for me :D . Aaah, whats life without a bit of challenge anyway :P

        I decided to observe and jot down a few things i saw.  So while I sat in the bus,  instead of writing my novel as I did regularly, I peeked out of the window for a change.  The first thing I saw was a playground, at  8 am in the morning, teeming with university students doing their warmups and playing cricket. It would have fileld me with some usual envy of not being able to go and play there , but today was different.  I saw a guy with a single leg , playing cricket . Astounded,  I watched him for a few seconds , and realized that his spirit  was not marred by his absence of a leg. Yeah, he was doing Captain Dhoni's job, but still , not many teams have the open mindedness to include a player with different abilities . That brightened up my mood for the day .

     A few minutes later, as the bus passed by a cowshed, where a large number of cattle are fed and bred , I happened to notice an ox, staring hard at a crow.  The crow was walking  up and down a railing , as if it were a Philosopher musing in deep thought , before it  finally settled on the ox's back and gave it a nudge.  I could have bet there was some symbioic communication there !

  Our bus halted at a traffic signal , and I watched the intersection as the people passed by.  Suddenly a pair of really small girls, maybe in their second or third grade,  started running across the road.  There was an RTC bus driver ,  watching the signal as he was the first at the intersection , but taking no notice of  those kids.He was drinking water thankfully,  or else it could have resulted in a major accident ! The kids and the drivers should be extremely careful !

I fell asleep after a while, and when I woke up , I was nearly at my office.  I quickly adjusted my bag, and gt down the bus as usual.  When i neared the ckeckpoint inside the gate, i realized that my phone was not in my pocket.  Having lost a mobile nearly 2 months back in the same office bus, i was jumping to conclusions this time :P i hurried and went out, only to find that the bus had already left.  I asked a security guard to ring my mobile, while I took my bag and went inside.  I had a hunch that I might have wrapped it inside my hoodie. I unpacked my bag and there it was, in silent mode !

Relieved , I walked fast and decided to go from a different path than usual.  I unexpectedly  met my Delivery manager there, who gave me several tips on confidence, posture and attitude .. The conclusion was "Look in the eye , it convinces people of your intentions".

Office was pretty normal today, the only deviation being that i had forgotten to eat my breakfast. I had asked mom to pack me corn flakes and milk , and my stomach began rumbling at around 10.40 am.  I quickly downed the cupful f flakes and the glassful of milk, getting relieved of hunger temporarily. I did complete a significant portion of my office work today , before venturing into Blackberry application development at the end of the day.


Not so boring after all , right , that too being the last day of the year :D  Well , there's more .

I did write about 3 pages of plot while returning home. I also slept again for the most part of an hour, waking up just 2 minutes before i reached my stop.I did muse of several things philosophical , but I'd rather wait and edit a few drafts of what I "thought" , or people might think i am delirious :p   Came home, did manage to glean a bit into the workings of Blackberry apps. Finally started writing my blog so that I might have a remember what happened today.   Hoping for more observations tomorrow  :D
