A usual working day for me. Completed my work on time and left office at 6pm in the so called star bus of TCS. From the past 10 days I have been undergoing a treatment for my left wrist, which is still in a bad shape after a little fall outside my house. So I reached the physio’s clinic at around 7.30 pm, administered the ultra-sound and TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulator) plus some exercises.
Reached home at 8.45, had some refreshment and then some time pass with my I-pod (I have been carrying that for more than a year but still haven’t lost craze for it :-), Apple rocks)
How can I forget, it was also a day for a day-nighter between India-England. An exciting one. Then suddenly in between the match I decided to switch the channel to DD News. (I have only 2 channels, DD News and DD National. I don’t have a craze for TV, so no cable TV at my home) There I saw some flash news showing some kind of shootout in Colaba region. I neglected it thinking that it might be some gangster shootout operation being carried out in south Mumbai. Had my dinner and slept at my usual time (11 pm).
Never in my dream had I recognized that I neglected the news about Mumbai attacks which shook the entire world. As I sleep like a kumbakaran (an ancient demon who was known for his sleeping style) I missed a lot of SMSes and calls from friends and relatives who wanted to inquire about the health of our family. I feel so embarrassed about my sleeping habit, which I realized the day after A Wednesday.
