Bolo tumne aur maine, kya paaya , insaan hoke

            I open my eyes at 6.45 a.m.,  just to see time in my mobile (i don't have a watch…ohhhh recession)..”i can sleep for 1o more minutes” is the first thought of the day which comes to my mind and i sleep again…i open my eyes again at 7.00 a.m….”10 more minutes” is the second thought of the day and this way third thought, fourth thought, fifth thought etc keep on coming until its 8.30 a.m. when i throw my blanket and start shouting on myself “ get up you asshole, its high time to go office”….

             Last Monday, i again did my daily morning routine and finally at 9.15 i was ready to go office. I locked my room, came out from the back gate of my building. When i came out , i was thinking why do we have to go for work every morning and was drowsy enough. But  suddenly i realized that i am in (happ) Bangalore city as 3-4 stray dogs were sleeping on road. Yes! in Bangalore two species are abundant – IT professionals and Stray Dogs ….but the big difference  between two was clear to me. I noticed the time. 9.30 in the morning and these dogs are sleeping?…don't they have any thing to do…hmmmm…lucky enough. Next moment i became jealous of those stray dogs. I thought of calling Menka Gandhi and say “ See mam, how comfortably your dear animals are living…you have a big reason to celebrate?” …Unconsciously one line from the Refugee movies was again and again coming out of vocal chord “ Bolo tumne aur maine, kya paaya , insaan hoke”
