My day starts usually by 8 or 9 depending upon the shift. I come out of the room to search for papers while rubbbing my eyes. If they have not been placed on the cot or floor in the veranda, I pull them out of the main door. The newspaper vendor leaves it at the top of the main door and sticks them in the grills. I pull them all out of there.

Newspapers begin my first and also the most important activity of the day. I have to take it quite seriously, as it includes searching my mistakes of the previous day or locating the rooms for improvement. I also view it as the time to learn new formats or approches to attempt any story.

Then I carry that bundle of newspapers to first floor and keep glancing through the them for headlines. I feel very desperate to know everthing newsy before anyone could call and tell me anything or ask...saying: " Have you read..? ".....

After that I go to Mumma on first floor....I put the papers in my study room and just rush with a paper to washroom....spend my 15 to 25 minutes reading it there.

I come out and mumma asks....Chai ke saath kya chalega.... and routinely I would say (depending upon time)...tea with fried bread or at times Parontha.... Having said that I brush my teeth, as she would ask immediately....Brush Kar Leya hai tu ki..(Are you done with the toothbrush?). And, I will say 'bus samajh lo ho gaya' (just feel it's done already), as I spend not more than one minute on brushing my teeth even if being aware that one should do it at least for 10 minutes.

Then I enter my study room, pick up papers and head towards terrace room on the second floor...I read there till i get a loud call from Mumma.....as I have to get ready for office.

I usually leave my mobile at charing in study room, hence there is no disturbance. Just me and papers, I value that time as serious preparation or study time of the day.

Then Mumma comes upstairs with a bottle of water, and breakfast. I get up from the cot and fill water in a pitcher or bucket from the water tank placed at the terrace. I fill or throw off the dirty water from birds' pot and refill it. I love them a lot.

Then I return, wash my hands and have my breakfast. After that I get back to papers.

After that I carry newspapers while anyone of them for headlines....and keep climbing stairs and reach Mumma on first floor....I put the papers in my study room and just rush with a paper to washroom....spend my 15 to 25 minutes reading it there.

The Accident

I recently met with an accident on Gurgaon toll bridge. I was returning after getting my Nikon camera repaired from the centre at Gurgaon's Sector 32. I was so excited to have got it back after 17 days of wait and lost in reveries of how I would click photographs.

While changing the lane at the Gurgaon toll bridge I was hit by a cab which was coming at a high speed. It hit the motorbike from behind and I was pushed along with it for five to seven metres.

It was quite disturbing and scary. For once I felt, the cab was going to come over me within no time. Thankfully, the driver applied brakes and i was not too badly hurt.

I felt so relived to find no part suffered any fracture. But the scratches and the twisted leg was quite painful. I somehow managed to return at the broken motorbike. But since last week the swelling and pain hasn't vanished. It's painful at times. I know my laziness is aggravating it.

I thought my leg has started improving but actually it has pain which gets aggravated when i walk a little bit. Like yesterday (Aug.9), when i went to market for Chinese food with Dick-Shit (boss), i felt the pain aggravated by walkng only that much. In the morning also, while kicking bike it felt painful. Yesterday, I applied Volini on it but i think it needs proper rest and heat massage....as you know I don't get time for myself mostly so just kept on delayng out of laziness for myself and it has started bothering me. I feel disgusted to find myself limping in front of all and not being able to walk properly. The legs have always been my strength, as I have been a martial art player. I feel crippled and just pray it should not affect my capacity for too long.
It's so boring here. I wish change in life. The working place is not so encouraging anymore. My creativity needs bigger and better platform to come out and influnce lives.
