Third shot at the graveyard run..dont know why they haven't been able to bury me as yet tho....possibly me be undead...
One more week of doing nothing...staying uptil 3 then dozing off in the chair...me is getting talented at that i think. This time around atleast there be another fresher chappie like us...so unleashed some nice gaalis...nice feeling tht..been a whle and all..ended up playing some underarm cricket in the pantry as well in the middle of the night.
the futility of these brillaint night shifts leads to such pure frustration that it can not be described. Add to this come friday night there be this chappie who be three year our senior decided to give us his entire dukh bara kahani...end result saturday morning me be a bit gone...fri night certain creature in mysore had told me that she is going to exit the city in a bit...think i said something along the lines let see if i can drop in this weekend
saturday comes...go back home after the night ...sleep...and saturday's gone
sunday comes...was so peeved that decided lets get out of the city...coimbatore is too far off...so might as well end up seeing mysore..and thus begins the tale of insanity and idioacy...
Dont know how to go there, so decide to goto the holy grail of transport in bangalore Majestic. Come out to catch a bus to there..waiting at the bus stop some 5-6 buses came along which i knew didn't go there...another bus comes i ask him Majestic, he says something that i hear as yes..get on ask for ticket chap says "no majestic, market". I had heard that there be busses to out stations from there so think fine...there must be bus to mysore form there. On the way there i am greeted by a signpost which tells me that this is mysore road and i'm kicked seeing as how my idioacy paid off. Get down..am told no busses to mysore..ok, this is right beside mysore road so i think i'll walk there and flag down some bus going in that direction.
Come out onto mysore road and notice a flyover and believe that buses must be taking that to avoid the congestion below...Now flyovers generally are what 500 odd meter things...so think we'll walk to end of flyover see a bus and get on be in mysore in 3 hours...the walk begins...five minutes later...the walk continues......15 minutes later i think that i spot the end of the thing.....blasted false alarm.....25 min later come to the end of the bloody thing in time to see a bus zoom pass. this bus had mysore written on it (in English, normally everything is in blasted kannada)...i was thinking finally something going my way. idle about for a few mins waiting for the next bus to come about....none forthcoming...my brilliant mind hear kicks in and gets the motor muscles moving...few minutes later i see another bus go by...missed cause i wasn't looking for it...mutter some gaalis beneath my breath and stand waiting for next bus....this cmes around in two minutes....i try to flag down the prick....who calmly ignores me and drives on..this happens twice more...then mind starts working again..bus will stop only at the bus stop...there must be a bus stop nearby...lets walk to it...so the trudge begins again...onwards we go....5 min...no bus stop...10 min no bus stop...15 min bus stop...see tht a mysore has stopped....yaaayyyy...all this while i see tht busses are fairly frequent...so decide no point in running...will wait for next bus...next bus comes...gos...another same story...another....again the same story....no blasted bus stops...finally give up go back to Majestic somehow...get instructions from amma in mysore and am on bus..this bus however stops jsut abt where iwas standing....&!@#@^^%$@
Bus moves along the 120 odd km in some 4 hours...me has breathed in enough dust to choke an elephant in this time...give a few more curses about road travel and look for bus to get to infy...i see large clock tower...walk in that direction...look to the left and see Mysore palace...beautiful is all i can say..look right and see the bus which i have been instructed to take coming down the road...sprint after it and get on...i'm almost there....
Well, not quite..bus goes through to town...nice wide raods with lots of greenery abt...then goes out of town..and on and on and on (like this mail)....if you former room mates of mine remember...this route was similar to the bus which gave us a guided tour rural mulshi taluka before reaching Hinjewadi minutes before the compre..finally reach infy mysore..hear this hysterical cry from accross the road and see tht it be amma...cross the road...meet friends of amma and am told that we be going back the entire distance to city bus stand..the morons couldnt have come around when i was in the blasted city could they..ended up going to this place where food takes more time to come than it possibly takes for a chicken to hatch...came back to infy mysore around about 11..was shown around the campus in mysore in the night...nice place but over the top...as everything this company is..
Sat abt while amma and gang went about their (seemingly)nightly ritual of keeping awake their gods with their singing...slept finally around 2 in the night...got up today morning and braved the 4 hour ride back...came in for afternoon shift 1.5 hours late and now on me way out...
as a parting shot....witness the power of ze google...
