Tryst with Mutiny

I, am generally, quick to take offense; and hence quick to defend myself. And when stuck in a situation like that, I can get bellicose, belligerent and even ballistic.
Oh well, balls to all that!
Come to my workplace some time (if you have the access that is…). Some of the calls that happen in and around my bay are typical examples of situations that I was hinting at in the beginning of this article.
You get to learn a lot. For instance – the effectiveness of “danda” (as we call it) as a digestive aid for breakfast, also that you can well substitute your (or mine maybe) morning workout and breakfast with this same danda, only it’ll leave you hungrier than ever for lunch. You also end up having a couple of laughs, but that is strictly subject to the condition that you are able to view the entire scene objectively, and find it funny that you, the belligerent, bellicose, ballistic and blah blah blah type, can get tongue tied at the hands (or is it vocal chords… ;-) ) of one man.

Lessons learnt for today –


  1. Do not skip breakfast for the sake of “danda”, unless you don’t mind hogging for lunch… (that too on food you may not be particularly fond of).
  2. Know when to fight, when to fight back and when to shut up.
  3. Do not even think of fighting without doing your homework.
  4. Keep giving yourself an occasional laugh (or at least a smirk!). In other words… stay objective.
  5. Bless the soul who put the ‘Mute’ button in the phone sets.

Until more of these "learnings" come in... (I have a funny feeling they'll come pretty quick...) just remember....

"Sab ganda hai par danda hai yeh.... " ;-)
