Today morning, as usual I called Yaseen to say that I had started from my apartment to pick him up for work and I got an answer from his wife that he gonna come to work along with David.
I had half-an-hour time in my hand before I land at my desk at work. So, I slowly taxied my car onto the famous Hardy Street. I thought I could kill sometime by passing through all the numerous traffic lights on Hardy. When I hit Hardy, to my surprise all the traffic lights were glowing in green (as Hardy has pretty much ups n downs, one can see all through the end).
On my way, I saw my favorite hangout place – Starbucks Coffee shop. Last night it rained like hell and it was drizzling in the morning and I thought I can enjoy a hot coffee @ starbucks. When I entered the parking lot, it was full to its space and there were around 6 cars waiting in the drive-thru path.
I pulled my car into one of the ‘just-vacated’ lot successfully and strolled inside. And I was 5th person in the lane to order the coffee. The girl at the counter was too artificial with her smile and I ordered for my all-time favorite ‘white chocolate mocha’. After paying for the coffee, it took ten minutes to grab my cup. I felt suffocated with so many people around near the counter and told myself – ‘Huh!! There are lots of guys who are just like me’.
I walked out towards my car and slowly rolled the wheels towards my work and I still had 15 minutes left and I reached my office at 7:50 AM (i.e., 10 minutes before the actual time).
Essence of the story is: It is hard for Rajasekhar (that’s me) to kill time.
