My mornings are generally good. I get up early, play some random sport and have a heavy breakfast. But by the time I hit the office, it seems like half of my day has already passed. I drag myself through the 10 min walk from home to office. My face brightens up at the prospect of have a steaming cup of chai at office (the cafeteria guy makes some really nice tea and coffee). By the time I warm up to the idea of spending a whole day in office, it is 10 am. Immediately, my mind starts performing some random calculations – 3 hours to go for lunch – in 3 hours, I would have reached Delhi! Time passes rather quickly between 10 & 10:20am.
The period from 10:20 to 1 pm is what I call ‘time warp zone – 1.0’ (the 1.0 has been suffixed to highlight the ‘nerdy-cool factor’!). Time here moves rather slowly….seconds take minutes to move. This is when I lazily take out my notepad, inject a major dose of enthusiasm and plunge head-long into work. Time ticks away to 12:30, which is when people start warming up for lunch!
The lunchtime is OK. We all gather around in the conference room and have food together. Wise-cracks, wannabe Wise-cracks, sweets, Delhi vs. Mumbai debate etc. ensue during the hour long lunch session that we have.
After that, Time again gets into ‘Time warp zone – 10.0’ – a pronounced Warp-Zone, it zimbly stays still! Now the seconds get mutilated into hours… and I almost get the feeling that it is one of the dog-days!
I thought I shall deliberate further on my average work-life when suddenly the cafeteria turns up with a steaming cup of masala chai… its sweet fragrance filling my cubicle’s air.Guess I shall have the tea, warm up and plunge… have a nice day J
