Scene-1
Faint background noise of a ticking Wall Clock .
What a day!!! New year’s eve; truly the day that should go down in the history as the day I, Rajeev Bhatra, was resurrected from being a total failure. Till yesterday I was broke, and had a letter which said something about termination from my Job. In short, I had no money, no job, no girl and one suicide attempt left. But hey, never say never!!! What a turn around this has been; shall tell you in detail.
Today when I steeped in my cubicle to pick my things, I saw a note from my Boss saying” Meet me at the conference hall”. I had a score to settle so I went there. But what followed was like WTH!!! I saw all my colleagues dressed for a celebration and my boss is holding a champagne; as it turned out that my termination was a prank and I had been promoted to the post of Senior Sales Manager. I pinched myself a couple of times just to check if I were dreaming. I felt so happy that I almost lost the touch of sanity and danced on the tunes of this ticking clock like hell. Weird right, I felt as it was a violin. Suddenly it became absurd when I saw my college crush dancing in the crowd. Ahh, Felt like a dream, but the lighting was poor like my hands were not visible to even myself.
Then I called my Mom to share my ebullition but she didn’t pick up . I am sure she was bussy praying for my good health, job and what not!!! I needed to tell her that almighty has answered her prayers. This day is like a dream, best dream I ever had. I am happy and my life is unfolding into flash backs and forwards. Speaking of flash backs, did I tell you that I ,Rajeev Batra has ,finally, asked Avantika on a date ??? . Even a small mention of her like this raises my blood pressure. Is this wall clock really singing or I am still high on joints. Whatever, it is truly magical; by the way Happy New Year.
