ANGER HANGOVER

Its been one of those days when everything angers you. You wake up late and miss the gym again. The pigeons coo in the loo even louder than before. The Internet is extremely slow and keeps getting disconnected. All this gets just one emotion out of you.. ANGER.
It can be handled if its just one day of anger. But what do you do if you have an anger hangover. When you slept angry and woke up with more anger because you went to sleep with Hugh Jackman and woke up to find your faithful room mate still wrapped up in her quilt. Angry!

So on a very very angry day I stepped out of my house very very angry.

Angry because i had to reach work early,

Angry because I did not eat lunch,

Angry because I saw that damn auto wallah adjusting his mirror to get the perfect view of my assets.

So the professional part of the day began, drab boring and all boxed up. Like a machine I finished one task after another feeling more and more angry at being so mechanical.

After all this a supremely evil and wicked woman who I refuse to call my boss, calls me and tells me I have done it all wrong! WOW! I AM SO ANGRY! I could kill anyone who crossed my way. The volcano was about to burst, the lava ready to burn anything it touched.

And then my roommate from Pune called. We live in the same city but have not seen each other for over a month now. Of all the places she was coming to see me in my office. Pah! I thought! why here. But still.. yeah! I'll meet my Kamri today (that's what she calls me a Hindi translation of roomie). Like one excited child I sat waiting for her call. I kept smiling at my monitor and am sure he was surprised because am always scowling and growling at him in normal conditions.

The call came and I sprang up from my chair, so excited that i forgot the way out.
Well finally I made it! We hugged each other and at one moment I wanted to cry out aloud. I had never thought I would be so happy to see her. But I was. We did not sit down we just stood and spoke. In those few minutes we caught up a lifetime.

Aah! she really made my day. I did not want her to leave. I told her lets run away on your new bike Shubhe! She laughed and said, you are mad Kamri and that was it! all those moments of anger were doused. I was happy and skipped back to my seat smiled at my monitor and got back to work smiling.

At the end of it all my anger is starting to pile up again.
But am happy! At least all the backlog is gone.
