Gloomy....

The negative week gone by:

1) Final realization of suffocation at work. It was depressing and quite choking.
2) With dead ends at work, the next day I thought of giving myself a refreshing break by meeting a friend. Well as I tried to settle down on a friend, my brain pressing hard to come up vth a name,realized that I don’t have any friend in Delhi. Not even a single one. No barista friend, no anytime available friend, not even a time pass friend. That’s when I hit rock ground of feeling lonely. Terribly lonely!
3) So armored with professional and personal dead ends I faced the third day, only to be hit hard with severe asthma troubles. This heady cocktail is something. In your optimistic frame you think that this cant get worse, but as all of us can vouch for it, it actually does.
4) Asthma adventures continue with loneliness thrown in. With each intake of inhaler I just pray for the day to end.
5) The day starts with a terrible mood and ends pretty much the same.
6) As if to test my bravery, backache came as a freebie. Since this too was a working day, and out of all the people at the workplace, its only me who cant get a holiday come wat may, there I was sitting like a zombie. It wasn’t that bad, since the entire week had already made me numb beyond belief.
7) Again a working day. After showing my face for a while at work, and with no more courage to face my sickness and loneliness I called it a day at 7:30 p.m. Too sick to cough nelonger , too pained to even self medicate, sleep presented itself as the best way out. And so I took comfort in its lap and allowed it to put me out of my misery. Only with a single thought in my head-No more of such weeks for a long time. I’m done being hit from all the ends.

I like the line "1) Final realization of suffocation at work"..
