Alright where did I stop yesterday, umm ok, office. Or lets just rewind a bit. I was getting bored in office yesterday. At 6ish I asked flatmate/ junior boss if I could leave and then I would have met him for dinner later. Everyone had left except him. There were just 2 people in the office. He explained later that all the ladies leave earlier and the gents stay uptill 8. I was like ok, grrrrrr. He asked me to surf for sometime. (well this is something I am looking forward to, hahaha). I texted everyone and was chatting with people who were replying back. Thanks for replying otherwise I would have been bored to death in the God forsaken place.
Food seeming very costly I decided to try out the tiffin system which is quiet popular here. I went to this place called Home Food Centre. A nice quiet place with pink walls. It is on the first floor of a building with a Philips TV kept in the room and a bench with seating on either side of it. A really warm and nice guy who has a squint came up to greet us into the room. His name is Nandan. You have to remove your shoes before entering the room. Flatmate made me introduce to the guy and he then served us food. The typical thali consists of 6 rotis, some rice, 1 dal and 2 subzis which normally would be ok for a person but you know me for the monster I am. lol. Yesterday he served roti, chawal, aalo ki sabji and kundru. Aaloo ki sabji made me feel like salt was free in this state. I just had one serving of it. There is no limit to food if you go to the bhojanalaya and eat unlike the tiffin which is sent to the office which is fixed. Rotis are rationed from being unlimited at the bhojanalaya to 4 in office, 2 sabzis are reduced to 1. The food was ok/not bad sorts but the best part that would make you return to the place was the manner in which he served it. Always with a smile. The comforting smile would make you return and have food everytime. The charges are nominal. The package I took would give me 56 meals for Rs. 1600. I hope there is a lot of variety in the future. :D
Went back home then and watched back to back movies. Firstly, Alice in Wonderland (Johny Depp, you are the man!!) and then 127 Hours (umm okayish movie barring 2 scenes when the guy and the 2 chicks jump off the cliff and the scene in which he cuts his hand.
I woke up real late today but got ready just in time. Came to office at 11 and just sat down on my chair. Spoke to my colleagues for a couple of minutes when one of them shooed the other saying that boss is going to come any moment *rolling eyes*
Suddenly I found a really interesting book lying on the table called Vintage Indore. I read the whole of it and found some really interesting facts about Indore (would blog about it later). It had a lot of pictures of how Indore was earlier and about the heritage of the place.
Entry of the boss:
How do you imagine a boss to be? A man in formal shirt, rings on one hand, tummy, mid forties, authoritarian voice but here comes this man barging into the cabin and asking for updates on various tasks that were to be performed. He wore a red round neck t-shirt and jeans with sports shoes. His hair was a mess too like he was straight from the bed. He would give orders and every time he does that he would make his hair fall back. lol. Seems pretty learned and a good manager.
He asked me to read about the project they were doing and as always whatever he was asking from me either I didn't know about it or I absolutely lacked interest in it. The thing which I was so keen on working was already completed *heartbroken* but whatever, jo kaam dega kar dunga, par wo ek baar kaam de toh sahi.
So here I am sitting waiting for my task, until the next blog, bois!!
