Yesterday was the best day of my
life!!!! It was just past 9A.M and I was sleeping blissfully unaware of how beautiful
and rainy outside the window was when suddenly my phone buzzed to the life and
jolted me out of the sleep. Mumbling and grumbling I got hold of my blackberry
from the night stand and jabbed the green button without bothering to open my
eyes.
"Hello?” "Hmmmmm….”
“Am I talking to..er… Aadhya
Oberoi?” a posh voice came from the other side.
“Yes!” Okay. So this is not a call
from some telemarketing weirdo because no one absolutely no one had ever called
me by my full name. That too in such
a posh voice. Quickly I scrambled in the sitting position.
“This is Maria Janes calling from
Glamour!” and my mouth hung open in a very unattractive way.
“Morning!” was all I could manage
to croak.
“Morning” she beamed. “I was
wondering can you drop by the Glamour’s office so that we could talk about your
salary and most importantly the joining date”?
“Yeah sure! Shall I see you in an
hour?”
“Actually I am going to fly out of
the city in couple of hours. I shall see you day after tomorrow, Monday that is”.
“Of Course. So Monday it is!”
“Purrrrrrrfect!” she said and the
phone went dead. I flipped the phone on the night stand and plopped down on the
pillow. I was wondering did I just dream or did it really happen? Was it
actually the call? Am I actually
employed? When I was going through my wondering process I drifted back to the sleep
and then it was only at 11:37 A.M when I finally woke up, rewind the call in my mind and realized that I didn’t
dream.
Today is yet another beautiful day.
It’s still raining outside and clouds are still dark. I am sitting in the wicker
chair by the window of my apartment, tucking in my scrumptious Sunday breakfast
of French toasts and reading the online New York Times (okay I am not all that
smart, I just read fashion column or browse through the travel column to read
about all the exotic places which I would probably never visit).

Girl in the big city!!
