Noida trip - part 2

Driving heedlessly, we almost traversed back to delhi and reached in the locality where our friends stay.....I asked Namit to stop right to the shop where I had purchased toothpaste....because that was the latest I remembered I had been carrying a bag......but then since it had rained......we saw nothing but water logged lanes, mud and grease everywhere.....since it was 10 short of 11 PM the shop was still open and I went to shopowner to enquire if he had, by chance, witnessed me dropping or leaving a bag in shop or nearby area......the answer was, as you guessed, "NO".....Namit's concrete hopes were challenged by the unfortunate truth that we had lost the bag......and that there was no way we were going to find it on the way back to noida too.....but then while I was looking out for bag near the shop, Namit on the other side of the road screamed....."mil gayaaaa......."......he picked up a mud drenched bag from under the silencer of a parked Maruti Omni.....yes, it did look like the bag I was carrying except that it was, dirty, filthy and all soaked in mud.....I said...."abe....tere papers?...kya hua hoga unka....?".........namit smirked......and said..."papers, water proof envelope me hain....".....yeah!!!......there we go.....we got what we wanted and all at the penalty of just 40 Kms drive.....Namit's forehead's wrinkles and face expressions, which had gone distorted, out of disgust, in the coarse of time, regained the normal posture as soon as he made sure that papers indeed weren't crumbled in mud water........now after we found the bag, the first thing that popped to our senses was "dinner"..............we drove back to noida and this time double excited......that was another good and justified reason to enjoy my 2nd round on expressway......that too amidst, thunder, storm and rain.......Namit was relieved and looked downright upbeat albeit a drive of almost 60 kms.......

not that we opened a bottle of champagne or something to celebrate.....but don't deny that, the occassion surely called for it.....Good lesson learnt.....never-ever carry any documents in original with you.....and if you do.....make sure they are babied and are in right hands........

so....I got little late for next day training class and all I wanted was a good sleep.......we drove to the guest house where Namit dropped me and went back to his flat.......

the next morning......I was scheduled to report to training at around 10 AM.....and I reached there by 10:15 only to find out that most of the things needed for training were missing from the hall......in all fury I called HR who was supposedly responsible for making due arragements......and said her that that wasn't I expected........later on she herself walked to the training hall while I was busy minding the training machines......when she reached at the room, the class called to my attention that she was there......no sooner I turned around, our eyes met......we had talked over phone but hadn't seen each other (basically....you don't wish to....unless person on other side has really exceptional voice...)....she really had beautiful, piercing, twinkling pair of eyes....her appearance, simple yet sublime, was worth my attention while.....I could hear the music of violin buzzing around in the air....all my rage vaporized instantly......the mystique glint in her eyes, as if struck some kind of magic spell on me, which then, bursted out communication between my brain and other organs making me particularly numb for a fraction of second....but then I gathered my senses and instantly flickered my eyes to quickly rebound from that infinitesimal stupefaction.....I definitely had to do it to avoid an awkward incident...I told her about the situation at training room, which she said she will address and shortly was on her way back....while on conversation I did not look in her eyes directly for more than a sec....

aahemmm!!.....never mind.....so we were talking about training......and as you know I have now turned pretty much perfect into it........I pitched in my regular standard stuff, cooed my introduction and teaching patterns etc....

the training lasted for a week.....and I was hopefully able to meet the audience's objective....I returned back to hyderabad that weekend.....but the sad thing was......I did not get see the HR again after that day.........

may be, yes......may be because, people say "sweet things come in small packages......like candies"

:)

until next time........
