Wham my bad luck had hit me again and this time a little too hard. Just when i was thinking im settling down and getting used to the place, a phone call turned everything topsy turvy.
It was 18 th Dec 2005 (yes a sunday again). Whats with sunday and my bad luck i don't understand ???
We got up late . Our House owner had come in the morning to get my signature for the insurance guys.
Officially only 3 people were allowed to stay in the flat but as usual we being great rebles had 1 more person extra and unfortunately the previous night my friend 's guy stayed over. So when uncle came in we scrambled to our posistions -that is the guy in the bathroom and one girl under the bed............
So uncle came got his work done and left. We were relieved.We had our breakfast and were chatting around....
Har gadi badal rahi hai roopu zindighi.........a song from kal ho na ho (how ironic)....it was my mobile ringing.
I picked it up
Manager(Man): Hello vanitha, this is sanjeeb here?
me: hello . who?
Man: Sanjeeb.
Me : oh yah sanjeeb.
man: is this a good time to speak to u ?
(if only i had known what he was about to say ...... then no time would have been good to speak to me)
me: yah sanjeeb, tell me.
Man: We have a requirement in our client proj, a new york client and we want to send u to the project.
It is pretty urgent and we want u to move to mumbai
(all the sweet talk as if he is sending me to NY)
me: !!!!!! (Oh no not again :-( )
me: sanjeeb but i jus got settled here
Man: and its preety urgent and we want u to trave to mumbai tonite
me:(this guy is jus not listening to me. Oh shit . Tonight????)
me: im not sure sanjeeb. cause it wont be possible to relocate so quickly
Man: no we will take care of all the travel and everything no problems about that.
me: im not sure
Man: i will ask fauzan (my project delivery director) to call u
Man: thank u . bye. tc
Oh my god ......not again not to that stuffy crowded place. It jus gets me too home sick.
I didn't want to go back to mumbai
Har gadi badal rahi hai roopu zindighi.....(now i know what it meant)
i picked up the call. To be more brief he just made sure i had no other option- but to go. Made sure my travel and my accommodation are arranged and was very considerate (huh......) to allow me to travel the next day morning 4.00am.
So that was the end of it , i was to move back to mumbai and i couldn't jus believe it.I had to pack my bags.
After another round of calling and complaining to all my friends, i had started to actually pack my bags. After all i guess one must move on with life............ :-(
