A Sunday night in office...

It was a Sunday night that I opted to start my night shift. And the night shift tenure is for a week once in 3-4 months on a rotation basis. It's been a while for me in the night shift, which is compulsory in the project that I am working in my office. Meanwhile, my project has been shifted to a new place, we have moved up to the first floor of the old building. Many other projects, which were on the ground floor, have been moved to the new 9-floor building except ours. And now, we are in a closed cabin where no one else has access except members of our project. Being a Sunday, I thought I would get some time off for a nap. But na, this Kandla and Kurkumbh walas (Some oil refineries which we work for) really sucks.


Hard day! (Day/night whatever), I found very hard to pass my time with a cold, which joined me in the evening. On top of the heavy cold & tiredness I had, there came the one-sided headache, which I often get during cold. I spent some time looking in to the Pandora's book in the Internet. That was something interesting, which I have ever done on the Internet (a must try link which is fun). Even though I was damn sleepy, tired and sick, I couldn’t sleep because the clients had informed me that I might get E-mails in between. How sad :-( right?, Even when my company has got 3,000 employees all over the world, I was all alone in my seat. That really made me feel that am alone in this world or at some point I have to be alone. The new closed cabin made me feel like a Polar bear in a Zoo in Middle East. It's silence everywhere…I walked a bit inside the cabin, whenever I got near to the windows I could hear the sound of small breeze and drizzle!!.Oh wow, Night, really is beautiful!!.

However, I managed to sleep in the early hours of Monday after informing the clients that I am not feeling well :-). That day was special, may be the sickness and loneliness made me understand that, life is nothing but a bore if we are alone. We need to have someone around to talk, care  and guide us always (Anyone say friends, family, loved ones etc.) to lead a good life. Alone,you are nothing and you can get nothing...
