Numerous times it has happened that I have been amazed at myself and spent time thinking "Oh! really that was me... Oh wow!". Well that wow can be in any sense, can be surprise & can be shock. People like me who are referred to as scatter brains and can go through any emotion at any time. If I write an account all those incidences then it would be a book with atleast 365 pages for every year since birth. I am sure as a kid my parents would have been shocked with me, I really don't want to shock them again by narrating all that. I choose to write a few incidences which I can't forget till my last day.
Incidence 1
Location: St. Anthony's School, New Delhi
It was some year I really don't remember but I had a Sanskrit exam. And the last day of school before exams were to start was working where everyone knew that nothing great would happen but being a part of a strict convent school we were given an ultimatum not to take a holiday. Honestly my Sanskrit was very weak (when on earth will I ever speak to anyone in Sanskrit). So, I happily took an off to study for the Sanskrit paper which I had not opened through the year. Well, the exam went well as my selective memory spared some temporary memory space to learn the necessary parts of the subject.
Point to be noted was the rest of the school had taken the off to study science & maths, which were the next exams. It was science for me, and all of us started the papers. Principal walked in and took names including mine to leave the class (almost 90% of the class). Then it dawned to us that 80% of the school was on the ground for not complying to the notice. Everyone around me was crying I remember & I didn't know what to do. Half an hour had gone by & we were not let in for the exam yet. I was the only one not crying, and the only thought which crossed me was what if my principal sees me that I am not crying I am not the only one allowed to sit for the exam. F**k, I still couldn't cry at least to make people feel that I was worried.
Incidence 2
Location: Udaipur
I used to work in Udaipur for some time, my office & my home were bang opposite to each other. Like all my counterparts across India I felt that one needs to work late to finish off things. I was leaving for home & get out of the gate & a car hits me. I don't know the details after that. I wake up & see a young man hovering over me, so I shout with all my strength. Only to realize I was not kidnapped but was in the company dispensary. I couldn't talk or move, bleeding profusely from my head but all I told my friends was not to take me to the hospital. As all say only I could behave like that. The next thing which worried me was my broken tooth which I feared was in my stomach and trust me nobody cared at all. Please listen to the concerns of the patient for once but no one does... huh😏😏😏😏, I wanted to tell so badly my brain is not affected because I could remember everyone & all the numbers important to me. But, people just don't listen.
Incidence 3
Location: Goa
As all of us know I am a very poor person, I live my life planning around with my credit card. I went to this shop and asked, "bhaiya credit card chalta hai?". He answered me something, which I assumed to be a yes. I gave the credit card and he said "Madam cash dijiye please". So, I was surprised and just told him (literally told him), that he only said that he accepts credit card. He refused and my friend supported him, and I was quietly taking out cash to give him and what he said next to my friend was where I got a shock "Thank you Madam, aap nahi hote to aaj madam hum jhagda kar leti". 😦😦😦😦
I really want to see a video of the incident to understand that what made him think that I was fighting.
Like Chacha Chaudhary comics used to say "Chacha Chaudhary ka dimag computer se bhi tez chalta hai", I can say my brain runs faster than Chacha Chaudhary's. Most people also suggest me visit a psychiatrist.
