Chand phir niklaaaaa

The Tehelka staff was doing just fine till our Editor - in - Chief decided to call his balled, 'tharki', old brother to Delhi.

I've had something against this bushy eyebrowed lunar eclipse, from the time i first saw him...or should i say - 'he' first lay his dirty eyes on me......

It was'nt long that i realized how this balled owl would sit next to me pretending he absolutely adored my fish, purely to have a good letching session.......then i gave my fish away.......n each time he'd come to me, he'd ask about the fish.......

"i think ive told you 1678 times they are not here!".i really wish i could say this to him............but i'd keep shut and say...they're gone....

Daybefore yesterday, i recieved a call on my extension...it was Mr. Taklu asking me to come to the conference room once i was free from work.....Dineshji smiled....n i looked at him and said -" if you hear someone being beaten up to pulp, just know its the Tharki"

So i walked inside the conference room...and this is how our conversation went:

Ujada Chaman: Come come sit sit...its soooo wonderful to see you again.

Me: Have you shifted your base to Delhi...sir...( fingers crossed)

Ujada Chaman : Yes darling, i'll be on your floor for good ( damn, DAMN, DAMN!)
So tell me about yourself, where are you from, how did you land up here?

Me: Sir..blahblahblahblahblah

Ujada Chaman: Gauri,( oogling at me), i must say, i am extreeeemly impressed by you. How old are you?

Me: 22

Ujada Chaman: 22 and this mature....whoa.....im very impressed...
Tell me about the projects you are handling here at The Foundation?

( My hair kept falling on my face and i have a habit of moving them back with my fingers constantly...its irritating you know)

Ujada chaman: Let it fall, let it be, it looks really nice like this....you have a nice delicate face, it looks really pretty like this.

Me: (shocked!..n i pretended i did'nt hear anything, and went on about the projects we are currently working on.)

Ujada Chaman: Have you ever thought of shifting to Maketing?...you'll be really good at it....

Me: Sir, i love what im doing, its my passion, not just my work, i would'nt leave it for nothing. I know this organisation is small, but we'll nurture it, it'll grow, it will.

Ujada Chaman: Aah! thats wonderful, im really impressed by you gauri. You are a smart girl.

( i started moving my hair back again)

Ujada Chaman: Let it fall na...it looks really good.

Me: (Dying to walk out immediately)

It all ended with Mr. Tejpal's call for his eclipsed brother.

Ujada Chaman: I love chatting with you, we are going to have these chatting sessions often now.


I came out n told my boss the whole story, she clearly told me to not bother about whose who in this office....it dosent matter he's the bosses brother..and next time i should just not entertain him at all.........

Its good you know, to have female heads in an organization........i feel extremely safe......something thats been an issue for a lot of my friends in other organizations.

Takle...tu to gaya!
