Beware, doubts are injurious!!!

As I told you, I have started getting attuned to my new official dwelling. It is almost getting well-set to my mind and body. Among the petite matters that bothers me is Mr. Pride…... Hazy? Its non disclosure agreement pal, so let him be Mr. Pride coz I want to be on the safer side. He is one among the so called higher-ranking category of techies, the seniors - the most supreme class. But unfortunately, helping others is something missing from his glossary, especially when the person who needs it is unluckily not a member of his team. As I was clubbed in to his group for an assignment, I never felt that I was about to land in deep trouble.

When I ask him a doubt regarding any of the technical aspects, that are totally Greek and Latin to me, he makes me feel as if I have done a heinous and unpardonable crime. With a mockery or a sarcastic comment, he would sadistically scoff at my ignorance, that too among a group, making me shrink to puny. Ignorant me!!! I would remain speechless, what else to do? But now that the information has dawned belatedly, yet without causing much distress, I will be extremely cautious here after.

Yummy Pastries & Some Prayerful Moments...A Joyful New Year Party

My previous New Year Eves were usually filled with those usual, boring TV programs telecasted enthusiastically by the leading channels. Something different this time, in our hostel.

As our hostel warden announced the prayer meeting in the chapel at 11.45 pm, the first thing that I thought about was coziness of my bed that I would miss for those 30 minutes. God! I was feeling damn irritated.

Back in my room, I protested by switching of the lights, snuggling down into my pillow & drifting to sleep. My dear roommate might have wondered seeing this madness, but that’s how my mind goes crazy when I am annoyed.

Reason unknown, but I woke up suddenly at 11.30 and couldn’t sleep after that. My friends were getting ready for the prayer. I languidly woke up and saw a pastry party getting ready in our room. We polished off all the chocolate pastries in no time. Yummy pastries at midnight!

As I had almost lost sleep, I went to chapel with my friends. A long walk in the wintry night! We prayed till 12, went to mess hall and had a small party there too. By the time my mobile was getting crammed with New Year messages and missed calls (except J’s), answered one by one and slipped in to the lap of sleep by 2 am.
