Sep '07 - A month that was....
Here I am, back again as promised, with something worthwhile to write about....finally. The past month was very exciting. To say that it was a wonderful month would definitely be an understatement. The very first day of the month was a cracker to begin with as I and Roshan, did a record daily billing. So, we had to celebrate and yes we did, of course with our own Royal Stag. Its like You, Me and Our Royal Stag...
That was only the beginning and mom not being around only helped us. So, there we were, billing like as if there was no tomorrow and the moment the shift ended at 10, we used to run to Grand and purchase our daily quota of R.S. and snacks.
There was also Roshan's tragic incident where a Sonofabitch stole his Prepaid card along with the pin number and was literally living off it. Well, its totally his fault and can't really blame anyone else coz who in their right mind would keep an ATM card and the paper with pin number together under the pillow, specially when you live in a shared apartment. We also happened to find out that the same SOB had been ripping him off for the past 2 months. Imagine, you have slogged your ass out for an entire month and made so many plans and at the end see it all fall apart like a house of cards. I can't really explain how he felt and what he went through during that period but one can only imagine.
Back to myself now, of course there was the 15th of September, I was so impatiently waiting for. You must be thinking, "there he goes again. I have already read about it. Not again." Well, I want to mention it here again coz I think it's an achievement for me. If you are used to smoking more than a pack of cigarettes daily and suddenly you decide to quit it, and you've been able to live up to your words, then you will definitely know what it feels like. Though this is not the first time I have attempted to quit fagging but this time the feeling itself is kinda different. Nowadays even when I am around people who smoke, I no longer have that urge or temptation to take in that single puff. Again, if you are a smoker, you'll know what I mean.
Finally, the month was nearing its end, we had a certain target to achieve and then came 25th Sep '07, when we created a new benchmark for ourselves by billing a record sum in a single day. We exceeded our target and earned ourselves 2 tickets each to movies of our choice. More than exceeding the target, the joy lied in being able to set a benchmark for myself specially when UK wasn't doing so well. A small proposition was made by the CEO just before the month ended, where if we hit a certain figure, we could earn ourselves a lunch at Mike's and of course no points for guessing, we exceeded that too.
Sometimes, I just tend to take things a bit too personally and these little things do matter a lot. Until next post, adios!!
