Mein office kyun aata hoon

8 days passed and i am still to start my work in this new project. I feel like Gautam Gambhir who can bat better than sehwag in current form but seating in the pavilion for the whole south africa tour. Counting number of runs he could have made being in middle for every loose delivery missed by sehwag. Every morning i come with the hope that today might be that sunny day wherein i will start working but somethings dont change (remembering the ad, ...for everything else there is master card). In my case, it would be to pass your time, browse internet. I should be enjoying this condition as well in the true sense, coz morning to evening just browse internet, think of weirdest imaginations and being paid to do the same. But damn, most of the sites are blocked. I think the IT admin folks were asked to make my life miserable by blocking most of the sites. This make me remember of film sholay, where Gabar Singh says, 'Koi bhi site soch ke kholna warna URL blocked ka page aa jayeega'. It is like the plight of a diabetics patient where he has the mouth watering choclate cake with him but cant eat it. On the positive note, this gave me a chance to read some of the fine blogs and explore the world of blogging. I am writing blogs as well, (you are reading the one buddy) the much fascinated domain by me since last few months when i started reading the blogs of Rajdeep Sardesai on IBN.
Then suddenly, i am called for a status meeting in which everyone else arrives 15-20 minutes late rushing. Everyone is busy like a politician not having time to know about the people in constituency after the polls. Everyone cries a well full of tears about how much work load they have and they dont have any status as Y had to go to check health of pet-dog of her step sister's daughter's classmate. Hence, the meeting with her got cancelled . This make me feel more guilty and develops a feeling for me to drown into that hole (circle) which i just drew on my notepad while waiting in the meeting room. Suddenly, I am questioned
Manager: What status?
Me (expression like caught stealing eggs): Completed reading 92nd blog of the day, confirming that there is always exactly 43 seconds interval between two consecutive thoughts of 'Will i get work? who cares, continue blogging' and there were 784 pieces of popcorn (5 more than what i ate in the morning) in the last bag from which i was munching. (Hope i could have said that). {complete silence}
Manager: What are you doing?
Me : Trying to understand the system by reading the document that Mr. X has sent. Should i say that it is more confusing then understanding Einstien's theory of relativity for which i am reading a 6 page document since last 8 days. Phew, i hope it would have been. In that case, I wouldnt have been wondering to write a book about '9999 ways to kill time in office'
Manager: Good. We will get you started on something very soon.
Me (grinning): Sure (Does 'very soon = Reading 4572 blogs'?)
Well, thatz the story between morning to noon and noon to full moon for me.
Hope i get some work tommorrow. Else i would be investigating on 'On average, how many times did my neighbour presses {Enter} key in one hour' and may write a blog on my findings. Sounds adventurous, isnt it? After all it is 1 way from my soon-to-be-published-book.
