The bonus bane!!!

Diya (Namrata), after having worked with the same company for 30 long months, finally grew tired, bored, and looked for a change!!!







Like every second techie, she chose to get an MBA!!









My parents, quite reasonably, were, more than happy!



Degrees meant a lot!!













Ask me. They are paper shits!








Because, I would never have more than one!!! That too, only because, it was pretty much mandatory!!!









Why else on earth, would I tolerate three years of college, without a canteen??
















Not long, before Diya cleared, yet another entrance, and flew off to Mumbai, to add yet another of the paper "feathers"!







I stood, stranded, struggling to get my graduation, somehow!!!







To be continued.....

The zoo within!!!

If I tried singing, I was barking, like a street dog!





If it was murmuring, it was cat style!!!





In case, as would be, in most cases, that is, I spoke something, quite much to her disliking, I would be blabbering like a donkey!!! I never knew donkeys blabbered, by the way!!







If I had ended up with a mischief, I was definitely a monkey, and, if I was sarcastic, I turned a
mule!!!







In case, I called out to her, repeatedly, as was the usual routine, I would be sheepish!







And, if I had a fall, or a fight, and luckily escaped unhurt, it had simply nothing to do with my endurance power! I just had the skin of a rhinoceros!!!








If I overslept, as I habitually did on weekends, I would literally be, a buffalo!!!









And, for her, I had always resembled a chimpanzee, by looks!!!










I was an entire zoo, in myself!!!







To be continued.....

Of emitting poetry and mom's love for animals!!!

My writing was quite limited to poetry, usually.





And, I was one of those, who emitted poetry, as a replacement for tears!





No wonder, they were pure works of either sheer constipation or complete loose motion!!!






And, I was so badly arrogant that, I kept on writing! Shameless indeed!!!




















My mom was, once upon a time, a Biology teacher.






And, without a doubt, she was an avid animal lover!







Her love, was to an extent that, every action of mine was similar to one of a possible animal, that existed!!!






To be continued.....

Of tasks and pretensions!!!

Namrata fared decently in her board exams, and quite easily cleared the entrance for engineering. She had "survived" four years of college, and finally sealed it, with a job at a top IT company!






Definitely, the task for me, had been clearly cut out!









By the time, I got to the second year at college, all I had actually learnt were, a handful of softwares, only by the name though!!!





Not a pinch more or less!!!






And, I was more than sure, I was never landing up with a job that was even remotely related to the subject of my graduation!!!









At the time of projects, I would do things, that would never find a mention for once, on the list of "things-to-be-done"!!!







I would simply, pretend to work!!!







My sole objective was, to complete a successful graduation, somehow!!!






To be continued.....

Satanic sister!!!

My sister Namrata, was five years, two-and-a-half months thirteen and-a-half days elder to me, to be specifically precise!





And, quite expectedly, we never shared positive vibes!!








To start off things, she was asthmatic from an age, girls usually remain busy with their doll houses!





She was always good with academics, scalping prized positions in the exams.






She was sober, introvert, and humble.








In a word, she was aptly perfect. And a clear opposite, to me!!!






But then, she was human, and she did err! And guess what?





I got beaten up and scolded because, she was asthmatic!!!






My allergy for her, was well reasoned!!!








When I was an extrovert everywhere, except at home, she was pretty much the opposite. And, she simply couldn't stop telling a thing to mom! To such an extent that, she found out the land line number of my first ever girlfriend, and simply blabbered it out, in front of my mom!!!







The rest indeed, rested in peace!!!
