[Had a bad day,i had a bad day ...bad day ... had a bad dayiyah]
Out of 400 rock/hiphop/heavy metal songs and bout 30 good pop tracks , this Daniel Powter track is chosen more than twice a day by my music player(not ipod).I hear it everywhere i go,..hum the tune whenever i am into something.Maybe it was because i needed to hear it as i was in the middle of a bad luck-carnival.Everyday turns out to be a bad day for me.Wherever i go , whatever i do , something bad happens(to me that is). Or am i really being paranoid here.But believe me ...i have all the rights to become paranoid taking into account everything that happened.I can become the king of the paranoid country if i want to,..you know...with the basket hat and creepy smile.
Yes,i paint quite a picture. ;)
It all started with that trip to KFC,Kentucky Fried [not real] Chicken and YEAH!,..It was a b'day treat by three poor souls in my team which means everybody shows up,some even ^missing^ their lunch the same day.The KF[not real]C munching continued until one hard bite on the [not real] bone left me with a broken tooth (sharp-edge-pointing-towards-my-tongue broken).I was in shitload of pain whenever i try to utter a difficult word(say congratulations) TO escape from being a laughing stock i acted as if everything was normal(until i screamed in pain likka baby after trying to pronounce a tongue twisting malayalam word the very next day).Everybody in the table is happily chomping down and me on the other hand was thinking wat to do with the half eaten [not real]chicken on my plate.
Take 1.
"Nishanth, why arent you eating bro?"
Eat your damn chicken you schmuck!.
"I.....stomach .....full" (with a painfull smile, i managed to convey some information to the schmuck)
Take 2.
"You want ice cream?"
A prize winning entry in the Most Ridiculous Questions contest??.
Who doesnt want ice-cream???.
&&#&@$%&^@%^@#$!
"No !,..Cold,.(sniff)...throat.. infection..."
And the cock-a-doodle doo award for the best acting in KF[not real]C goes to...
Three days of suffering and refusing and ofcourse talking likka retard ended after a very expensive dentist appointment.
The next incident took place a month after while i was on my way back from a visit to my native in Kerala.The cause of the problem - my waitlisted (WaitingList 1) train ticket from my home town to Chennai.Lemme shed some light.While booking a ticket in Indian railways,if all the available seats are taken then you will be given a numbered waitlisted ticket.The less the number the more you have chance of getting a seat/berth.So on that day ,.. i had a waiting list ticket numero uno.
"your ticket please?".The show starts.I took out my crumbled ticket which was kept inside my pocket safely squeezed between my handkerchief and walkman earphones.
"Actually...er...i am having a waiting list ticket.Its waiting-list 1 so if you can...you know..provide me any late cancelled seats,..that will be good."
"There are no cancellations."
Bummer!.
"Can i .. .atleast sit in the corridor?.Its a 2nd A/c ticket..and its waiting list 1.so please.."(a stress on the SECOND A/C and W/L 1)
"Thats not possible"
"Oh.....So.... wha.....what should i do ? "
"You can check with the official in the 2nd class sleeper"
Thats a pickle eh.
I reached the 2nd class sleeper compartment negotiating through an array of airconditioned compartments.Apparently all the chicks in the train where in three tier A/C compartments.Not one or two...ALL of em!.
I jus now booked a ticket home for christmas in guess wat.hehe.
I jus now booked a ticket home for christmas in guess wat.hehe.
"This is an online ticket" - inferred the ticket checker.
No you stupid duck,..This is a magic ticket which can fly and take me to Chennai and buy me idli-vada-sambar.YEAH! this is a goddamn online ticket.
"Yes sir,Its waiting list 1 in 2nd A/C and the person responsible there asked me to meet you" (i stress 2nd A/C again and turned some heads.)
"I can see that but this must have got cancelled automatically after charting.So its like you are travelling without a ticket."
Slap in the Face!.
Can Open.Full of worms!.
Kick in the crotch!.(OW!)
"But its waiting list sir.can i atleast sit in the corridor"(pointing to a crowded corridor near the door and the restroom)
"You can pay the fine and sit.That is 500 rupees."
You kidding me man!.i paid around 1200 bucks for an A/c ticket and you want me to pay again.Up yours duckface.
I checked my wallet and it had only three 100 rupee notes,one 50 paise coin.
Oh oh.Pickle it is.
"Sir,....sir,excuse me!"
"Yes.?"
"But....But i checked the reservation charts jus before boarding and it had my name on it.So i dont think its cancelled"
"Look...I dont have to lie to you.If you cant pay the fine , you should get down at the next station"
Ok buddy.If you think i am gonna get off this train,you better find some other person to do the same.Because it ll take lot more than your stupid arrogance to get me out of this train.
Just then a tall faint khaki figure at the other end of the compartment caught my attention.
"Ok sir, i will get down at the next station"
I scurried off the compartment to a safe zone near the rest room door before the RPF guy got an idea of the problem.RPF is expanded to Railway ^Protection^ Force.Ironically...
I had to get down at the next station at about 2 am.There was not a single soul in that station except the flag guy and 6 very unfriendly looking stray dogs.The latter became a credible reason for me to not to sleep in the comfy waiting room chair.The train to a major train station came at 3 and from there i caught a train to Chennai at 7 am.And to top things all , i stood all the way till Katpadi,which was around one hour from Chennai.Thanks to all the people who wanted to visit the metropolitan city that day.
I am not finished yet.Boredom has conquered me now so i will resume this later.There are lots of bad days in store.
Me losing my credit,debit card at a restaurant.
Me losing my cheque book.
Me having a big problem at the bank.
Me without cash for 2 weeks.
"When everything comes in your way ,...
Wait a minute.Regarding this fancy [not real] whenever i mention the word KF[not real]C (see...i did it again).The chicken served there is not the real cock-a-doodle-doo chicken.Hit here and find out yourself.And for the KF[not real] C guys ....SUE ME!!!.
Now i am done...Lemme get back to that ending quote.
