Rat Revelation !!

Welcome to our lil office with lil lil cubicles housing the lil lil geniuses that churn out big big marketing plan. That’s not all. We just found lil lil rat babies snuggly growing inside one of our desk drawers. I don’t know why but they chose a drawer filled with our case studies. Talk about on the job training!

To give them their due they’ve done a good job as our natural paper shredders. Now confidentiality won’t ever be an issue with us.

Among the myriad of reactions was screaming and shouting in ear piercing decibels. Damn they screwed my after lunch power nap.

While the fairer sex was found climbing on chairs and desks…the men folk were guilty of having fun at their expense. The conversations then oscillated between the squalor and dirt that the rats usually represent and the haunting feeling of opening other drawers subsequently.

The fact that these lil harmless rats can scare the shit out the Account Directors and Managers who are immune to tortures target meets and national sales conferences, is indeed hilarious.

The poor new HR was then confronted with petitions and complaints about how this matter needs to be taken up with the management. Do we make a presentation or do we have a candle and cheese march, Cheese for the obvious reasons.

I should however admit that I myself do house an inherent pest aversion. They repulse me to no end.

The fact that I have summoned up enough courage to actually write about this horrid experience should tell you that the entire exercise transformed a dull boring afternoon into one of chaos, confusion and fear.

As I type this piece I am feeling itchy and creepy and its time I actually got away from my seat and fearfully checked my drawer as well.

Wish me luck

Winter Freezes...!!

As the depressing winter creeps in

The days become shorter…the nights longer

Dwelling in nostalgia

Thoughts of happier times cripple me…

Every whiff…every word of every song…

Reminds me…mocks me…derides me…

I long for those foggy nights

Those peels of laughter

That incessant banter

The conspicuous knock on the door..

The smell of the quilt….

That stack of books…

The mountain of ash…

The melted ice cubes…

I miss myself the most..

What have I become …

I can’t decipher…I don’t recognize…
