I did not sleep that night. The rat had got into my table
drawers and created a mess; the sight of which has scarred me for life.
The next day, four brave men tried to capture and kill the creature.
But as is shown on TV, it escaped and has not been heard of since.
Wonder why mice are glamorized in fantasies and cartoons
when in reality they are just filthy creatures.
‘The thing’ which I was speaking of…was an internal transfer
to Hyderabad. The Pros and Cons list when made in my mind went on something
like this
Pros
1.
I would get to stay at home (??)
2.
A much needed break from the current position
which demands that I be a castrated bull i.e. be able to lock horns with anyone
but not cause actual damage by screwing them over
Cons
1.
I did not want to go home
2.
The job sucked there too….if verbatim accounts
of my ex-colleagues who have shifted there are to be believed
3.
The fact that I am not much of a social guy…
4.
I did not want to go home
All said and done, it seemed better for me to stay put in
the current position and wait for a miracle to happen.
2 days on….i’m regretting the decision.
Let’s see what 2012 brings in for me….hope I have a smile on
my face when the world ends next December.
P.S- Unsurprisingly, this would be my last post of quite an
eventful year. My sincerest New Year wishes to all.
