It is not often that I set myself up for work. Then again it is not often that my car pleads for a wash and fresh clothes. This time it threatened mutiny, I don’t know what else can we term violent jerks, shaky noises and a strangely adamant steering which refused to go left.
I presume all of you are aware of my views on early mornings. The view strengthened further after this escapade.
Washing is infectious
Looking at my car getting all decked up, some crows decided it is just the right time to clean their inner self. And I don’t know what gave it away but they figured since I am cleaning the car might as well use me for cleaning themselves. I had an early morning shower that I was so not looking forward to.

I am part South Indian, especially the last part. My actual name being Roflin D’souza Vengarippu Double Decker Bus. Anyway, that is beside the point.
To get in touch with my roots I often take a hike to meet my brothers down there. Though the idea is usually relaxation, it sometimes also gives way to posts on this blog. Now one of my brother is this typical south brain who cracks all the unnecessary entrances and is walking running encyclopedia of the Indian Education System.
Fortunately or unfortunately (depending on which part of the country you come from) he is strongly rooted to his South Indian lineage. And it presents itself the best when he speaks English. Now I know what it feels to have an accent but this guy takes it to a whole new level. And Sometimes it leads to longer conversations than what was otherwise required.

I have had interesting experiences quitting jobs. Sometimes I just do it to add excitement at the end of the day. It is surprisingly funny when you jabber your boss “I wanna leave!” and then leave it at that. He comes to the room full of boring developers very close to where I am sitting and then suddenly, “Oh Rof! why don’t we catch a cup of coffee” .. I never understood the whole catching part of coffee but it seemed exciting enough. And then he asks you why do you want to quit and i say, “oh that, I was just asking for a leave.. missed the ‘a’ then and then got caught up with work you know..”
I figured then that quitting the job is not so much of a hassle as it might seem. Heck, it is a whole lot of fun if you believe me.
