Some Days

Some days everything goes wrong. You are tired from fieldwork of the previous day. You sleep like a baby. Your phone's battery died out but you do not care to charge it. You wake and realize that you had alarmed your clock 2 hours early. You go to sleep. You wake up and your two hours late. You go in to take a shower and tank is dry. You don't really take a shower but you get ready and leave. You hurry on and wait for conveyance. You don't find a bus on the street which looks creepily deserted. You finally get down at your stop. You rush for you work. As you confront your office building you realize that you never took your change back from the conductor and you just lost forty bucks. Then as you enter your office the guard rudely stops you and asks you why and where do you think your going? You feel like smacking the chum right there at the door. But he smiles and tells you "Sirji aaj to office bandh hai. Kal announce kiya tha office mein. Aapko phone nahi kiya kya?". It was given off because the turnover had exceeded everybody's expectations so the chairman himself flew down and gave everybody an appraisal and a day off. It was good for every body but me. Because as I set foot towards home I realize drops splattering on my head. At first I thought it was rain because I see very cloudy skies up and ahead of me. But it was much worse. I see a bird, yes a bird, that just relieved itself on my head. I picked up a leaf and wiped myself. But as I reach the bus stand a heavy wind blows the bus stand shed away and it starts to rain on my head. Now today my office is closed but I rushed to in and now I am standing in middle of nowhere with rain pouring on me. As I said some days things just don't go right.
