One year later… A twisty tale - Part IV

BTW If you are joining me now; suggest reading previous posts for continuity; links at bottom of note…

So here I was at 6 AM in Surat and my dear BIL Sulabh was there to receive me… Fortunately Bus Journey was smooth and night spent was far better compared to last night. Informed Parul (my best friend) about the interesting twist I was going through and she was superly worried of me being travelling alone… the best thing about friends is the care they bestow upon you in tough time and I was fortunate to get it in plenty in last 30 hours…  Only problem I faced is - I was given frequent stares from my co-passengers making me feel whether I am being eve teased ;) but I ignored it until Sulabh met me. He, Sheetal and others in family at Surat were informed by me that I am having an ear infection and will be coming over. Sulabh is usually at his cheerful best and one of most jovial person I know; he met me in a more somber mood and was awkwardly quiet… I didn’t get it as by that time one can only gauge BAP (Battle of Palsy) effect only if I open my whole mouth but It seems i was wrong….?

Usually i always capture an image of myself with what I saw last time of me in mirror (not a wise thing but that’s how I am J ) and then it dawned on me that there was no mirror in Bus and Doc’s word echoed (BAP effect will worsen in next 2 days) – Believe me the urge I had to see myself in mirror was more than what it was on my wedding day; I was ready to snatch purse of a nearby lady and take mirror out of it ;)…

Better sense prevailed and without any snatching incident ;) I reached home and again I was greeted with an awkward silence from Sheetal and all; dashed to mirror and saw it – it was not me; it was as if I was seeing a different person altogether… the BAP war was over and casualty was all there my right face… My Right eyebrow was approximately 2 inch below compared to left one; my right eye was only 50% open… I can’t see my right side teeth as right lips refuse to open up; in short there was no equality on my right side of face…

Will never be able to forget that moment; but I was still strong that it will pass… briefed Sheetal and all about past 36 hours and narrated the highlights… As Sheetal was pregnant I didn’t wanted her to know all details but whatever it was in front of her… (That’s why they say – you can’t hide things long from your wife J )

Scene – Surat Home

No Matter how strong you are; you always have a threshold on which you give away and I was on verge to know mine… Well it was breakfast time (Surat is one of best place for breakfast BTW); took first spoon of meal and threshold was breached… I was not able to open my mouth to such extent that spoon can go in… and that’s it – The great wall (Not Rahul Dravid in this case) which was intact from past 2 days collapsed…

I just left my meal, went inside the room; Hugged Sheetal and wept - wept like a child… I hated to do it as I was ruining her vacation and troubling her when she need upmost care but there are time when roles get reversed without your consent – after all if everything goes as per plan – there is no fun in life but I didn’t know fun will start now… and I dammed liked it and what was in store – keep reading!!

Thank You Captain...

Thank you Captain… Saturday 18th January 2014 – a date I am not gonna forget easily.  OK – so day begin pretty early or should I say Night ended pretty soon when I departed from Pune at 2 AM for Mumbai; as I have to catch flight to Varanasi… It’s one of the shortest trip I was making to Varanasi – 24 hours and back (btw that’s the minimum one way travel time; if I would have taken service of Indian Railways’ - considering no delays in Foggy weather of North – Love Fog BTW- reminds me of some dear ones… ) Ok so at Terminal A1 awaiting Air India’s flight AI 695; not that great Terminal I would say as my mind was comparing it with “Exclusive T2 Terminal” pictures that every News channels was showing; just wonder every news channel has it and then also its “Exclusive”. Flight was on time though Information Board was lazy and showing it Delayed – may be effect of a Chilly morning; or it was miffed that why the board is not upgraded to T2 Terminal level ;) Boarded Flight; I a...

The Panic Handlers...

Hey Nitin – Did you saw that mail…? We should respond “ASAP in next 5 minutes”. Me – Okkkkkkk… Which mail? You have not checked your mails yet… (As if it’s a crime in India not to check mails as soon as they come)  Me – Ahhh my outlook is acting bit weird you see - Long Live MicrosoftJ. And when I finally got to know which mail s\he was referring to I didn’t found any reason why we need to respond ASAP in 5 Minutes… BTW either it’s ASAP or 5 min; till now no theory has proved that ASAP = 5 minutes. Again it depends who is asking; so if your wife is asking to do a household stuff it’s by default ASAP and you are supposed to leave everything aside - get up right away and start doing it…  If your colleague is asking who is in direct completion with you then you have lifetime to do that work may be in next life if you wish to ;). If your Boss is asking you to do it mean you are already Late and you should have already done it by official standards – Lazy Bum J We all...

I failed and i am glad i did...

 Dedicated to all Respected Ladies I know Generally i don’t write Blogs (Notes) now days... (Though I want to write more often)   in fact it’s rare now that i anything apart from writing business mails... Life is kind of dedicated to writing mails from outlook - Accenture account :) So why suddenly on a Chilly Monday morning i am writing this blog to all Ladies out there… Reason is simple - a realization; something which i always thought that i knew or understand it but i never did... what i knew was miles away from  reality... ok i know you are going crazy ki kyaa bol raha hai - so let’s come to point – 4 days back i.e. on Friday Morning Sheetal (my dear wife) has to go to Varanasi; and we took a decision that Shubh (my 6 old year son) will stay with me in Pune... Sheetal was bit skeptical if i will be able to manage and i always like a cool chap said - don't worry yar; i will manage i am capable of it and what not (Damn overconfidence!! ). Her flight l...
