After the end of a tiring day,
especially when one of such days has happened to you at the end of the financial
year at your firm, where you have to close all the accounts for the year bidding
goodbye, streamline all the contracts for the next financial year, meet
deadlines, people and then some important people, attend endless number of
meetings, fill yourself up with a cold salad-like working lunch, you know that
the day has taken its toll on you; and no matter that you are the one who have
been crowned as the “Employee of the Month” and the “Employee of the Year”
awards for uncountable number of times, and that you can walk in heels for fourteen hours a days like people walk on wet sand at the beaches, you are tend to be
worn out, physically, mentally and sometimes even emotionally too, if your boss
has given you a nice lecture on corporate tactics, which was totally
un-welcomed.
We all, at one point or the other
in life, have had days like these, which all of us hate equally, and just do not
want to come across at times, but unfortunately, not all are granted with the
wishes asked for, and so, there it was – the dreaded day of the financial year’s
end’s closing, and as expected, it was not a very pleasant one, even to start
with. Like it is said that well begun is half done, there is also an unsaid version
of this saying, and which goes like – A screwed up beginning means a more
screwed up end, and perhaps it is this version which is more practical and is
commonly applicable to people, at least to people like us. And that was how,
the dreaded day was spent, and a generous dosage of an absolutely unnecessary
lecture from the same person who has awarded you with the “Employee of the Year”
award for the third time (and second time in a row), seems totally out of place
and grossly irrelevant. But if this is what destiny has planned for you on a
particular day, there is no other way that you are going to have a different
way than this.
Having gone through all of this,
the moment a step was stepped out of office, it started drizzling, which, in
the first place, if does nothing else, makes sure that one is made sure to
believe that the next best thing that is going to happen is the Death God
arriving to adopt one that very moment, but the same very moment what catches
the attention of the eyesight is the poor kids in the street jumping with joy
with the droplets of the rainwater touching their faces and they stretching
their hands out of the tent feeling those droplets on their palms, which to
these set of tired eyes looked like a refreshed way of experiencing life, a new
life entrusted to this tired soul by this sudden drizzle in the city which has occurred
in the city absolutely out of the blue defying all the weather forecasting apps and
perhaps even the meteorological department’s announcements. And the moment those
heels were taken off and the perfectly pedicured feet touched the rain water on
the ground, the soul was struck with a new strike of hope and optimism for the
rest of the days to come and taking them heads on.
