As i pushed myself from my place to leave for dinner i just realized that i am stopped by someone, none other than rains which was just pouring in to the lands of Mangalore. now nothing to do i opted to wait till it stopped, between i saw one of my colleague telling me about his new job which he is planning to take it up. with a surprise i was incrementing my internal counter saying one more and was discussing with him, mean while saw my friend deepti returning back from her home in minutes from the time she left office saying what to do??"i don’t have the keys", after a short chat with her i decided to get back to my initial plan of having my dinner but this time from home, my friends have already packed my dinner and its just waiting for me.
A call from Naveen asking me to take Nadarajan(yeah my roomies) on my way to home, stopping on my way to pick him and i speeded in the wrong route a loud voice from my back asking me to do something which i really don’t like “drive slowly" as i managed to convince him and reached home it started raining back with no mood to get out again, i got down from the bike and started searching for some thing missing, Guess what???? "it’s the "KEYS" not the house key, its the bike keys missing from my bike and i was surprised to see that, sudden thoughts flowing in to my mind and i started questioning myself "did i use the keys to start my bike" i answered myseld "Obviosuly", sudden pause i said to my friend hey keys missing and he said what? n i again said it clearly Bike Keys are missing???? and started moving towards the road from my apartments. before i could hear what he was telling i was half way from my house searching for my keys, with totally no idea where it was i was just madly searching in the roads, saying to myself why its always to "Me"
I returned back empty handed to get only my friend Naveen eagerly asking "What Happened", with a disappointment in my tone i said gone:(, he joined me again saying let’s find it. With a positive tone which boosted me, we again started with a torch light and an small umbrella which barely covered both of us, never minding about my shirt getting washed by rain waters i was just checking the roads for the first time not to take a report on conditions of it but to get my keys back to my pockets but by the time we reached my home i had already called my home and asked them to send the spare keys in post which i was expecting to reach me by two days.
When i informed my friend saying i am just blessed with bad luck and said i lost my keys in a very good fashion which i never expected “lose your bike key when you drive in the bike" she said it’s ok and started convincing me. I was unhappy about my luck and cursing me for my bad luck, i reached home and throwed my stuffs in a small dejection and sat down. Nadarajan popped from the room asking what happened?? i said "lucky key just escaped" with a smile, he just left the room saying let me try with no word to tell i just saw him crossing me with his mobile in his hands. Thinking about different options to start my back next day to office i was lying back and checking the rains though my window, heard some noise in the door n i guessed it correct it was Nadarajan who came in, with no mood to ask him what happed i simply saw him, but inside 100 things were running and his every actions were captured by me saying to myself “its ok" leave it he also dint find, one more thought no no.. he got it he is going to just surprise me, with no questions bouncing ill my mouth i just went back and saw him again, he smiled and throwed the keys :):):)
with a sheer surprise and excitement of getting something back i just started smiling and said how did u??? He said just got it where you stopped to pick me up, i was just frustrated after hearing that, because of non other than the fact that i went twice till that place and returned
Now asking to myself again "Am i lucky" which is totally contradicting to my thoughts some minutes back i got from my bed moved on to lock my bike and came back with a confused thought what should i name this incident as n i said to myself you are just lucky to make it :):):)

Wonderful day
It was time to get ready and start for the trip,but i was still not consious and was in a deep sleep with not even getting disturbed by my ringing alarm or from constant calls from my friends who started calling even before they started :). i suddenly realized that there was something planned for today . I noticed my mobile ringing, and it was my friend with a innocent tone saying"whats this gowri" after which he handed over to other guy for the thrashing. I realized that he was first person to call me after i checked my missed calls which has already shot to 8, of course i feel is very less ;) with a small apology from my side and a bit of frustration as i woke up other guy whom i pulled for the trip the day before we left. 
As we got ready i forgot that i was late and started slowly and reached office from where our plan was to take the car and leave to Manipal, we started a bit late from scheduled departure and started moving, as we started we were not sure about our driver, my friend fahad, but proved us that he is a cool driver with his top speed of 100. i took the back seat in the car which was not properly set and it started moving back, i managed to hang on with that but finally we stopped to fix that after which i had no trouble
it was really great making fun of the driver and others and hearing songs and just relaxing with no tension to take, by the time we reached manipal bowling alley it was already 11:00. before which we stopped for a short break fast, it was great fun as the maximum point reached by a player in the bunch of 7 was 80, no one exactly knew how to play so,it was really a great fun.
then, we moved on to find out the karting track which was out in some corner, as i managed to understand the kannada they spoke and finally found the track which was empty and frying in hot sun, there were only very minimal cars available out of which one was taken away by our own beloved driver in a crash which took us aback, oops, a terrible crash.
It looked so but no serious injury was there.
then before even taking the race i was declared the winner and was taken to the podium. we had a good time in the hot sun and managed to make only 5-6 laps in the tough circuit and since we dint have Ferrari we were not able to show up good lap times ;). after this drive i managed to snatch the bike from my friend and had a very good drive till we stopped for lunch. it was a different from the daily ones with totally new atmosphere and as usual it was fun time in lunch table as well. done with the lunch and just 3:00 in my watch i watched my friend in a puzzle saying what next?? he smiled and said to a nice beach which is 60 km from there i was wondering have we already crossed 60 km as i never had a feeling of traveling or i would say never realized that i was in a car.
It was 4:00 pm and the hot sun was still jumping all over the placing forcing us to find a shade and as people started relaxing it was photo session again with all sorts of fun posing and unnoticed videos rolling around we managed to cross 5:30 and started moving towards the beach which was still hot, by the time we decided not to get on the shore. But it started growing dark and clouds came to our rescue. Now what else just run and reach for the waves and play with the sand and just keep enjoying the cool breeze.
before we realized it was already late because people had some commitments so they had to reach back by at least 8:00. with no mood to leave the beach i got back and we started to get back the drive back home was awesome and obviously there were some zig zag drives from our fahad. as we reached near mangalore there was a long traffic jam which is one thing which i never noticed in a place like mangalore. but it just got cleared away in some minutes and we reached office from where stared our "Wonderful Day" and as we bid good bye i went back to my room with a smile in my face saying its really wonderful.

My day in office
As i move from my dreams to the real world, i slowly recognize the bright sun hitting my bed, and the road getting busy min by min. i slowly gather my consious to make sure that today is a working day as every day for me seems to be a holiday but the reality is every day of the week is a working day. when i recognize that the i am already late to office i usually hear the last person leaving the room, with a bang on the door.
I slowly get up from the bed and get ready with a quick bath and half combed hair which will be always wet when i start from home, on my way to office i just think i get a place in the starting of the parking space but normally end up squeezing my bike between other two. when i enter the office day for most of the people has already began. most people take their first break as i break the silence and enter my cubical saying good morning.
Always i see every one busy working with some thing and i slowly move to my friend and ask this everyday "is there any issue", expecting a word non other than "NO". but mostly i end up getting the opposite of it. I get a sarcastic look from a person sitting in my next cubical and who is always busy, asking me a simple question "tasks for today?". i slowly get back to my desk recollect what all are pending in my plate and get a stack of the mail box items and promptly respond to her saying " i have these things pending" there comes a mail with a task for the day which i wish i don't see for at least a day. mean while i see some bright window popping up with some gud mornig messages, yeah obviously its the messenger which keeps people close to each other. i keep responding to those as a part of my work as the status change from online to meeting i remember about a approved meeting request.
i just run for the meeting which will be again a status meet or a issue resolution call which we need to discuss with the other person at client location. i always feel why right people are not sent to face the problem, and i never get an answer may be that a question for higher level people which they always answer as business requirement but for me i hear it as put of syllabus.
As the call gets over we always come back with a list of action items which we need to complete or send a status on that, as it goes i check the watch in the system which would be prompting around half past twelve, and my friends ping me for their part asking for a lunch break, i always reply saying 5 min which probably by now they would have got used to it and we just get back to our cubical after a jovial talk.
Afternoon is always my fastest part of life, it just passes and brings in evening, but still i have a pretty long break with my friends in pantry chatting something totally different from work and pressure. now back to work and i have some calls pending, normally attend it or get into a serious discussion and come up with some solution or more work to prove that my solution is working fine. later when i check my clock it would be 5:30 or so, now its time to take a break and have some juice but normally i push it till 6:30 which i feel ideal time to take a break, now there comes a problem??? yeah team calls me to join them, i promise my friends saying i will be there with them. now i try to play some time with my friends n most of the time with my team saying i would be going later or i am already done. now after a break its again work time, it would be already dark and work would be still pending, i try to complete as much as possible and try to push my dinner till 9:00 after which my friends would start coming to my place to pull me out, so i wind it up at that time get out for a very good dinner time, and mostly get back again with an intention to work, but end up sending out messages and go home mostly at pitch of darkness where my room mates would be already half asleep, i get back after a short refreshment and try to read some books but already tiredness and sleep would have conquered me and i have non other there than to submit myself for a sound and dreamy night which will again end up soon.
