Listless & Ironic

1. Being stranded in the middle of a national highway by a team, who refused to listen to reason when I shout, panic, point at a share auto that is willing to take us to the mall. Them just strutting ahead, and me following senselessly. Running 300m across the highway, while the others walk 'coolly' across, pointing and laughing at the prude.
2. Being told that a share auto would ask 10 bucks to go to the mall 500m away, and thus not taking it makes sense.
3. Being mocked that my kids will have no fun in life, when I remonstrated.
   
4. Not having coffee at the mall because it is too expensive. Beside, we already had 100ml of premixed coffee at office an hour back.
5. Walking around listlessly at the mall. Picking up a basketball at the sports store and relishing the feel of it in my hands after 3.5 months. Tell myself, 10 days.
6. Trying on clothes at Westside. Looking for V-neck full sleeves that made me look like a gay, stocky and very well fed giant. Opting for a half sleeve. Taking pics wearing different clothes in the trial room. Flirting with a purple top a la Thejas, sense wins over adventurism.
   
7. Falling asleep in an auto with 15 other people, out of pure tiredness from waking at 6, coming office first and working (at least one guy has to) and leaving the last.
   
8. Coming back home, to shower, force food down my throat, and get ready for bed.
9. Power cut for an hour when my head touches the pillow. Inverter, which I am paying for, doesn't work for the floor I am put up in.
10. Dragging myself downstairs to sit in the 'common room' and doze off with my neck at an angle akin to modern geometric art.
11. Being told, the next morning, that complaining about this means I'm 'getting on his head' and I am being pampered, when heart patients are in the other room. You see, not only do you pay him double what the usual rate is, you also need to be critically ill to be considered.
    
12. Tolerating a blubbering, worthless, tactless and hypocritical landlord's outburst and subsequent 'make up' talk whose highlight is, "When you were in pain, I sat on the floor and cried". Resisting urge to suggest he is gay.
    
13. Realizing that the landlord has money I should be returned, which means I can't push it all too much.
14. Signing into FB, seeing "Goodbye Germany :(", "Leaving for hostel :(" and the like. Wondering if it would be nice to feel some attachment to the place I'm in.
15. Sigh.
