Its saturday. There's this mid year's weekend euphoria that's slowly picking up its boom. The places of modern day fun like resorts, sports bars, movie malls are slowly filling themselves with fun deprived souls.
There is this guy who works for a firm. He gets down from his car 45 minutes after he's supposed to report at his office. He slowly pulls himself out of his car. He manages to gather himself to one piece, gets to his desk and logs in.
Nearly 5 hours pass by & he palpably feels the suffocation of saturday's work. He walks floundering out of office, picks out a cigarette,, smokes it very leisurely. As the cigarettes breathes its last breath under his shoes, he goes back into office to find his boss. He clearly puts it across to his boss that he's in no mood to work and seeks a mid day off. You are your best judge, say his boss.
He gets down from his car at a nearby bar, which is already filled with people. Beer mugs cling & smoke rings evolve out of their mouths. Everybody looks engaged & happy.
He manages to grab a 4 seater for himself. He orders for a beer & an ashtray. He observes his surroundings which consumes 5 minutes & the beer is placed on his table.
He slowly opens the beer, pours it down into his mug; starts sipping beer and a cigarette simultaneously.
4 mugs of beer, 2 hours of time & he seems done. Even if he's not, his wallet seems done. He looks around & he fixes his gaze on a guy carrying crates of beer from a container into the bar.
He keeps watching the guy right from the entrance to the refrigerator & this happens for a couple of times. The third time, the guy accidentally drops a beer crate onto the floor which silences the deafening music of the bar.
The guy seems helpless & very sorry for himself. The bar manager approaches the guy & declares that the cost of 12 beers will be deducted from his salary & the guy is pleading the manager not to do so.
He walks away with a helpless smile past the manager & guy who are in a discussion which would cost the guy - a month of his life.
All he could do is smile wryly.
