The day was sunny and I sweaty, unbathed and nauseous was almost about to faint in the claustrophobic bus, when all my friends suddenly shouted, "Harish, SourcePilani!!"
I thought, "What the!!" just like Columbus did when his sailors screeched, "Columbus, India"!! For I couldn't see the gleaming office with its glass doors and a bedecked doorman. I saw a plain sign on a wall which said SourcePilani. I dozed off.. perhaps it was a dream...
Finally landed up in my hostel, only to discover the room that I had been allotted was locked! (I would later come to know that my dickhead of a PS mate, Animesh had done that). The day passed off in inanities like getting a mobile connection etc. I finally decided to get a razai (a huge woollen quilt basically) when by balls froze over by evening.
The next day was the day I had to go meet our PS instructor. You know human brain is a remarkable virtual simulation generator. Hearing his voice in phone, I anticipated a certain shape, figure, demeanour (or lack of it thereof), and a persona. I must say, Im proud of my imaging faculties.
Lets call him Creepy for all practical purposes, besides the fact that its more apt. The first thing I noticed was the fact that his hairstyle resembled an electrocuted peacock. He pretty much acts and behaves like one too.
And then I arrived at the place where I am supposed to work for 5 months. I must confess that for starters, I wasnt thrilled and gung ho about the infrastructure. And then I walked in and met Bongu....
