My latest crush hasn’t come to office today. I am bored and sobre. Throw a rock at me and I wouldn’t notice!! I feel I am the ‘apple’ of everybody’s eyes in this office.. literally.. I am wearing an eye-knocking( you thought eye catching didn’t you?) apple red tee with a pair of blue jeans.

I had a heavy lunch of deep fried koftas in gravy (fried and stuffed flour balls), channa dal (it is a pulse variety known as bengal gram i guess) with rice and chappatis(Indian flat bread) with potato raita (that’s potato and spiced curd) and gulab jamun (a fried sweet made of milk solids marinated in sugar syrup..) to go with! Lunch is my favourite time at office.. not because of the eating part.. That’s when me and my crush play our games.. the look out of the corner of our eyes, the sudden uncomfortable air yet  comfort, the suppressed laughter, the feigned disinterest.. it is a movie in which we star..

I am in Northern India. About an hour away from the capital of the country New Delhi, at a place called Gurgaon. I had to beg my friend and college classmate to listen to the incessent string of bollywood songs on his phone radio to set the mood for this. “Working” for a domestic project in this IT firm this week has been practically doing “nothing”. Though I had a wonderful time spending this week by reading Khaled Hosseini’s “The Kite Runner” (‘ll fill you in on it sooner or later!).

Now nothing is entering my head! I’ll stop for this post.
