My day is sometimes defined by the music I begin it with. Today morning, I woke up at eight, desperately wanting to listen to the Swades soundtrack. I had a call to attend at nine AM, and so I had to hurry, but it was too tempting – the computer was on, and the CD was just a mini-search away. It took ten minutes for me to brush because I didn’t want to brush too loudly and drown out the sounds of ‘Yeh Tara’ playing in the other room. Then I spent 20 minutes taking a bath, because the running water would make a lot of noise just when there was an interesting bit of ‘Saanwariya’ playing and I would run out and play it again from the beginning, dripping soapy water all the way. Which is perfectly ok, because the comp is right next to the bathroom. When I got out of the bath, I spent five minutes sitting down and re-listening to ‘Saanwariya’. Then I put ‘Yunhi Chalaa Chal’ on, and put on my clothes while simultaneously wiggling my body, the kind of wiggle that would undoubtedly make strong-hearted men not-so-strong-hearted if they saw me at that point.<\/p>\n
In case you haven’t got the drift yet, I was late for the call. There was insane traffic, at a time when there is no traffic at all ( the jams begin at around 9:30-10). One of the lifts was malfunctioning, the one that was working stopped at every floor as it came down and – once I boarded it – also stopped at every floor while going up. And then as I was running to the conference room, someone calls out, “hey, dude, X mailed, the call’s been postponed to ten.”<\/p>\n
