Encounters with an Idiot/ What has come of my life?

When a baker turns to surgery, or a kite flyer to avionics, a philosopher to children’s book writing, you know life is topsy-turvy. But when, my dear, when an MBA grad from Delhi decides to take on the law, you really do suffer. Words do injustice to the crimes he has inflicted upon me. I now realize that we did learn something in our five year law course. That we did understand that courts are not where we throw our arms wide open and say “judge sahab!! mujhay tareek nahin insaaf chahiye”

He has re-defined contempt, both civil and criminal. He files writs going into 300 pages. He then asks me, “Did you like my petition?” #$@#$!% He has also made it clear that he wants all his matters to be listed before only one particular bench. Then he also says judges play favourite.

And I have had the fortune of dealing with him on a one on one basis. Daily.

Is it stupidity or sheer optimism? Have I become a cynic?

You've got mail

My Buggy is doing very well,  2800 down and young as ever! I only just realised that I have a chip. The one you use to get past DND without stopping. But I like waiting in the line. Its nice to meet someone new. Most people who go past the Toll do it so mechanically. I would hate to be the man behind the counter.

I just watched you’ve got mail yet again. Some movies just have a way of making you feel good. The list never included Rocky or Heros or PS: I love you. But you’ve got mail. There is so much hope.. and is not Meg Ryan the prettiest? and the wonderful zingers she gets. Quite admire the way he folds her mind. And since Brinkley, I have only wanted a golden retriever. My cousin got a dog, a pom. They look annoying.

My boss and I are telepathic. At least he can read my thoughts. Very scary situation when you are upto non-sense.

Body Shop has sale!!

I want to go to China.

Have you ever met someone you would rather know when you are 40?

Everyone seems to be wanting to be judges or discussing their assets. I want to marry one of them Now this wouldn’t make contempt would it?

I am smelling of cherry blossoms. I now remember there was a TV series when i was a kid, Blossoms, or was it the protagonists name? Cherry Blossoms.. the name reminds me of Mrs. Maria, my English teacher. She was ever so bright. I always made better friends with my teachers.

My parents talk law now! I am wondering who needs the break.

Would love to drink some wine tomorrow.
