daku's loot

abdul, sood, V... u guys owe me big time.

daku in a moment of misplaced generosity had sent some stuff for the above 3 ungrateful souls and the undersigned the "indian" way. poor chap didnt really realize what he was letting himself in for when she asked him to carry "some stuff" for her friends :-) anywayz, the chap brings the loot all the way to his office, probably cursing daku all the way there and calls up abdul and i to go over and rid him of the stuff. of course, anybody would think that if he wanted to do a thorough job of it he would have come over to our office (which is only half a km away) and delivered it in person with a happy smile on his face from the satisfaction of having done a good deed. but, probably due to some inexplicable flaw in character, he wasnt too keen on the good deeds and since abdul is a congenital bastard and refuses to do anything that involves dragging his posterior out of the office, it was urs truly who finally ended up going over to collect the stuff.

well the stuff included some dvds, a novel, some nail-polish and some weird stuff in small containers, which no doubt plays some major role in enhancing the feminine countenance. all i can say is that somebody should have packed it all in non-transparent stuff. i mean there i was waiting for the damn elevator (that building suffers from an acute shortage of elevators) and a couple of women come by and start staring at the stuff that i was endeavouring to balance somehow. and then they notice the nail-polish and the other thingummy and exchange meaningful glances (is there no decency left in this world)!

i had the futurama dvds on top of the pile and was quite unsure whether they were cool enough to counter the nail-polish and thought that maybe i should promote the book up the ladder. the problem with this was that i was underestimating daku's generosity. not only had she sent a book, but she had also put in one of those plastic things which show different images when we look at them from different angles. and when i was moving the book this piece of optical marvel seized the opportunity to jump right out of the book onto the floor. and there it lay proclaiming to the whole wide world "FUN" in big yellow letters. somehow i couldnt share its feeling of unbridled glee and picked the bally thing up with the 2 females, blights on the fair sex, following every movement.

"it also says sun", i explained with a grin as the elevator doors opened.
