Disgusting scenes at work

Today:
A guy puts off his shoes and sprays air-freshener on his feet to suppress the odor of socks.


Several days ago:
A scene from the dinning room during the lunch hour - A person picks out two currency notes from his wallet, selects a crispy one, folds it nicely to make a sharp edge and uses it with a delicacy to pick the remains of food stuck between his teeth. After that, with complete elegance, he uses his fingers to give a quick wipe to the note and tucks it back into the wallet.

A Victim of Misbehaviour

A man on phone, "Uss nay itni badtamizi say mujh say baat ki ha, mayra dil cha raha tha kah agar woh mayray samnay hoti to main uska gala daba dyta."

Low Noise

It is just another random day at work. What i can hear at the moment is the hum of an air-conditioner and noise of a squeaky revolving chair - and all i need at the moment is a cup of tea.

Karachi Chalo

  • A mother trying to stop her some five year old child who is at the end of the street, forty feet ahead of her, "Ali ... Ali, Kahan Ja Rahay Ho?". The child replies without turning around, "Karachi."

Garaj Baras Sawan

Just a random thought that struck me, at the moment Garaj Baras Sawan Ghir Aayo is playing, a song by Junoon, rather an undoubtedly hit number - here in Glasgow, rain is a matter of routine, thanks to Almighty, there are a few sunny and partly sunny days as well, one can have a break from depressive disorder which comes in a package of rain, dark days, cold winds and very short days of winter. To cut long story short, In Pakistan, this punch line of the song is the most popular in scorching heat of summer - people long for such rainy days, (but sometimes they do long for sugar, flour, Cooking Oil etc - oh, why did i forget to talk about electricity?), anyway, here i have a slightly modified version of this punch line: Garaj Baras Sawan Ghar Jayo. And today was a sunny day here - after a rainy spell!

Bad Day

A bad day at work. Incompetent management ensures that we get a perfect taste of a bad day. Bastards.
