A smile is worth a lot

Recently the Meister has realised that you can't put a price to a nice smile...especially a handsome smile that the Meister possesses. For the last 2-3 days people have been queing up to help the Meister...which makes a pleasant change to the Meister's life coz usually nobody bothers.  Anyway, it all started the day before yesterday early morning when a man suddenly offered the Meister a lift to Tarnaka, all because the Meister had politely waited for him beside a hole in order to let him pass easily. The Meister coul;d not take up the offer as he was going to the station to catch the MMTS. In the MMTS, one of the regular passengers actually had saved a seat for the Meister (something which never happens). 

Once he reached office, he saw the gates closed as usual. (The Meister is the 1st tocome to office on 98% of the days) So he sat on the stairs. The security guard of the floor below was passing by and seeing the Meister suddenly hurriedly went and brought water for him.  Again probably because the Meister smiles at him every morning and waves at him every evening while leaving. 

To top it all, while he was sitting, an officer from another office came and actually offered him the chance to go and sit in his office till the Meister's office's gate opens. The Meister has now met him almost everyday and has struck up a casual friendship, their last 2 topics of discussion were the reading habits of the guy's kid daughter( who although around 14 read the Animal farm and apparently at midnight pestered the guy saying "papa the windmill died") and why the Meister is still not getting married and is planning never to. Weird indeed.  

Trip

Last month, with a smile on his face and money in wallet, the Meister went to visit Orissa. The Sandman accompanied him. They left via the Faluknama Express where the curse of the fatman struck again btw. Out of more than 2000 windows in the entire train, guess which was cracked???

Anyway, they had an interesting journey with some quite nice co-passengers. Upon reaching Bhubaneshwar, they got a hotel and the Meister realised that the shorts that he was wearing had a big ass hole in the groin area!!!!

The Meister had a wonderful time in Orissa where he saw some of the loveliest temples and architechture imaginable and continuing the tradition he got right-wing guides in Orissa as well.

The only discordant note in the proceddings was struck by Baldilocks who joined them after a day. Baldilocks came and then went off to meet one of his gay friends, then joined the Meister in the afternoon to visit Khandagiri and then next day complained of sickness and left (he was supposed to be with the Meister and the Sandman throughout the entire trip but I guess he was bored with the company).

On the way from Bhubaneshwar to Puri, the friendly neighborhood autowallah (who doubled as the guide for all the days of the trip) took the awesome twosome to Raghuraj and Pipli, the handicrafts villages. The Meister had the time of his life in Raghurajpur looking at the tons and tons of beautiful artwork and the impromptu Gutipua dance which the kids performed only for him (the kids were awesome and the way they were contorting their bodies were freakish and scary to say the least). The curse of the fatman struck again...the batteries ran away and alas the Meister could not take any pictures of the performance.

Snippets of the Past Week

It all started with the Meister's mum getting very sick and scaring the bejesus out of the Meister. Thankfully it was just a temporay illness.

The Meister flew down to Hyderbad (Vandy helped in conforming the flight timings etc so thanks to her) and resisted the temptation to get an auto home as the autowallas were demanding 300 bucks. Instead he took the bus and actually persuaded the busdriver and got down in front of NIN. The driver was grumbling but the Meister chooses to ignore such things.  From the NIN to home the Meister walked with 2 pieces of luggage - a backpack and a bigass piece of suitcase. So yeah Meister.

The Meister reached home and got a nice welcome from his friend the Chunkubaaz, who had thoughtfully bought food (though he is in luw....the Meister understands that things are not going well as the girl in question is nuts....well which girl isn't)

The Meister rejoined work the next day and spent the whole day..................................................................................................................wait for it......................................................................................................................................................................................

reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in office.

eat ur hearts out suckers in boring jobs...hihaw hihaw

o almost forgot to report that the Meister's friend, the OCD got into a fight with an autowallah and bashed the autowallah up....o how the Meister wishes that he was present to see that beautiful event.

 

Old Friends and Acquaintances

The Meister usually does not meet anyone or to be precise no one meets the Meister. However in the last 1 week the Meister has met quite a lot of people who were a part of the Meister's life in the past.

The Meister attended Yohamba's wedding and met Bishwajit, Jijo, Philo, Shouvick, Piku and Pragya..not to mention Hamba himself and his new wife who btw was quite shocked upon meeting the Meister. Th Meister also met his old college teachers RDG and PC and was quite pleasantly surpised that they were impressed that hte Meister is now an Instructional Designer. 

After coming back to Hyderabad, in the space of 24 hours, the Meister met Prashanti (who is nowadays chiring bal badhing anti in Motorola) and to his great surprise, Brotinda (who is back in Hyderabad and is Married!!!)

Brotinda married!!! The mind Boggles!!!!!

Bad day bad day bad day

Well, so far today has been a bad day in the Meister's life. In some weird way it has also affected people around the Meister.

The Meister woke up on time but was so engrossed in a NBA match that he forgot to a) wear his lockets and b) to get the earphones. So he rushed to the station and lo and behold.. the fucking train was 15 minutes late and when it did come, the fans in the train weren't working...so the Meister sweated and sweated like a singularis porkus...although the Meister has to be candid..he has never seen a member of that particular mammal family actually sweat.

Anyway so the Meister came to work and had to listen to a lecture for 3 hours. Now I know what you guys are thinking, "How did the Meister stay awake for so long?" The Meister is once again truthful..it was touch and go for quite a while..the fact that it was potentially helpful to his career probably kept him awake.

ooh..oohh..almost forgot to mention that in the train a dude was shoving the Meister to get on board the train and again to get a seat...neither did the numbnut get a seat but in fact he lost his mobile in the process....just proves that Karma works in mysterious ways.

To top all this..the Meister's friend and colleague Vandy actually ate their boss's lunch...yep she actually did that..the poor boss was so hungryand bugged it was sight to behold (what actually happened was that the officeboy got confused and did 'hniya ha mal hnua' but it was so much fun...it brightened up the Meister's day considerably...let's observe what else happens...
