Gone CucKoo Bananas!!!

The human brain is a wonderful creation, like no other. It can perform a million tasks at one time, enabling us to multitask. Weighing about a kilo, it's the grey cells that differentiate between humans and apes..

But in some human beings, at times, the brain get short-circuited, jumbles up or just goes cuckoo bananas.. Now don't ask me the native of the world, I heard it in the movie "Wicker Park", where its used for the anti-heroine, who has just lost it and has created a mess of the hero's, heroine's and side-kick's life, which in turn has resulted in the amazing suspense drama, the movie is..

Well, getting back from the side-track; Something similar happened with me this week, which has totally ruined my day..

Starting from
I get an email from a design firm, asking me to appear for an interview, to which I replied as the weekend for the suitable time.. Obviously, after coming back from an extended leave, I didn't want to take an half-day, the same week... No reply to my mail, hence I dismissed it out of my beautiful mind...

Evening, I had no bag on me, so I decided I would buy vegetables tomorrow, pending the large quantity I had to buy.. Plastic bags are banned in my area..

Then onmorning, I get a call from them, asking me to come the same day evening, to which I said no, for the obvious reasons.. On my suggestion of tomorrow, the lady said the Director of the firm is going out of station, so tomorrow was not possible. Then she checked, and suggested Thursday morning, to which I gleefully agreed (Oblivious to fact, that my tiny little FAT grey cells, would play scrambble-scrambble, and leave me in a complete mess..)..

In the evening, I went to the vegetable shop, buying tonnes of veggies, costing me Rs. 82/-.. The Thursday morning interview schedule was still on my mind, so I bought carrots for the next day, and Baigan/Brinjal for the bharta on Thursday.. I was so very very thoughtful to conclude that since I would be leaving late on Thursday, so I would be having ample time to roast the baigan and make bharta.. Main aur mera dimaag aksaar aisi baatien bhi karte hai!!

Cometh and the morning greeted me with the Times Ascent, to which like always, I thoughtlessly concluded that today's Tuesday.. I don't know , why I have this thought that Times Ascent comes on Tuesday and I usually plan everything according to that silly thought.. Nothing in the entire day, not a single hint, not a tiny clue, that would bring me out of my beauty sleep and slap me with the ugly reality, that TODAY'S WEDNESDAY!! WAKE UP YOU FOOL!!

Evening, I come home, have dinner and soak chhole for the next day, totally forgetting that I have a lone Brinjal in the fridge, waiting to be roasted on Thursday, and probably that could have reminded me, that the next day is the interview. A complete jumble of the events, thought and chronology, like the bricks above..

Voila, it's and my royally disrupted mind wakes up to a Wednesday..

Just admire, thoughtlessly, the beautiful turn of events, What I should have been doing and What I actually did..

Getting my resume and portfolio in order; Peeling Ginger-Garlic-Onion..

Getting the bus routes and Company address; Grinding tomatoes and cooking Chhole..

Washing hair, scrubbing face and wearing a formal top and new jeans; Not washing hair(thinking I have to to it tomorrow, on Thursday, for the interview..), making a ponytail, and wearing the ugliest dress ever..

Now as I am climbing the stairs to my office, I get a call, unknown number, but I take it..

"Miss, Rashmi Gupta??"
"Yes, speaking.."
"Hello, I am calling from ***** *****(The firm where you were supposed to come to inetrview today, stupid!!). You have an interview scheduled, naa. I will tell the directions, Till where have you reached??"
"Errr.. Ahem.. Ahemm... Err.. ???"
"Hello??"
"Yes, I know about the interview, but the interview is on Thursday naa.."
"Yes Ma'm, today's Thursday!!"
"No, Aaj toh Wednesday hain... Hain naa??"
"No, TODAY'S THURSDAY!!"
"................................... (A meek shit!!)"

I tried telling her, what an ass I have been and pleaded her to reschedule the interview, which I have no hope, that it will happen.. Especially when she said,"Sir ne aapke interview ke wajah se hi koi meeting nahi rakhi, subah!!", I believe, even if when they would not have anyone, they still would not call me..

The Wonderous Kartoot of my Overwhelming Mind...
