The four friends

This is a story which took place in a time and place not very far away. There were four friends, a Lawyer, a Banker, a Trucker and an IT professional. On one of the most ordinary of days, when after a long weekday the four of them met on a Saturday at “Barry’s”, their favorite bar, they had not anticipated the adventure they were going to go through.

The Banker requested that the four of them go for a ride in the trucker’s “eighteen wheeler”. Agreeing almost instantly, the four went out sat in the humungous machine. They hadn’t decided where to go though. Their plan was to just follow the road, until dawn and then turn back. The four of them also decided to switch off their cell phones and just “go with the flow”. They made for the Beltway 8 West, going on the road. The giant machine tore the gusts of wind like scissors on paper. They were talking about the week they had had, their personal lives, girlfriends and other guy stuff. Just after passing the Sam-Houston Toll way, a few miles ahead, they saw a bolt of lightning or that is what it seemed to them; hit the ground a few hundred yards to their right. It was followed by a big explosion. Since it was a clear sky and it wasn’t raining, nor was there a thunderstorm, they decided to check it out. So they parked the “eighteen wheeler” on the side and made for the spot on foot. The lawyer was in the front carrying the flashlight and the other 3 were following him. As they edged near the spot, they saw a wreck and concluded it was a vehicle accident. But going a little further, they saw a body, not nearly human; it had the face of a deer and an extremely skinny, patterned body with human like hands and limbs. They froze and looked in awe as the “alien” gained consciousness and looked in their eyes. The IT guy gathered the courage and went up to the alien to talk. He asked “Who are you? Where are you from?” The alien said nothing but took out a device from his pocket, entered a code and pressed the button. Within minutes the pieces of the wrecked vehicle flew, joined and took shape into of a flying ship which was as round as a basketball, but the size of a big house. The alien walked inside without saying anything or even looking back, it took off in the space ship.

The four friends stared in amazement for some time and when they regained their senses, they looked at each other and jumped up, all still in shock. They went back to the truck, and decided to go back to their homes. On the way back they discussed and formed theories about what they had just witnessed. All of them decided that they would keep mum about the incident unless it came out from some other source for they were very certain that nobody would believe them. But they were content and happy in their hearts as this had turned out to be the best Saturday of their lives and never would they forget that they had seen a UFO and an alien that day, for real!  

Me: How can this day get any worse??, Life:Challenge accepted! : Chronicles of KD

Firstly, let me state that I mostly am a positive thinker. No matter what happens, i try to think about the positive side of it ("this glass is not half empty, its half full" types). Now, there are days when even I am forced to think negatively. Guess life is like "Muhammad Ali", unbeatable!! You might end up winning rounds but you will always end up loosing the fight. But its the fun and sense of achievement that one gets in winning these rounds that keeps us going. Optimists like myself, think about and picture the rounds that we have won in the past and the ones we can still win.
Now, a little update about my life. I completed my post graduation and got into a firm I wanted to be in (Well, from among the options I had), so safe to say, life's been generous. I won that round! But turned out, that life just wanted to make this fight more interesting and it delivered another hard blow into my face!I had to work for peanuts for 5 months (well, not even peanuts) in one of the most expensive cities of this sweet motherland. "Not a problem!!"I tell myself, "It's your first job, in such a reputed firm, you will get to learn alot!Chill!" and so I jump into the fire expecting to not get burned. 3 months down the line, realizing I still was asking my folks for pocket money, not being able to satiate the hunger of the learning hungry Tiger inside of me even a little bit (Oh! and I forgot to state that I am a very proud human being, and self respect is of extreme importance to me), it hurt. While this all was going on with me personally, events surrounding people close to me weren't all that hunky dory too, so that sucked too! My bro went abroad to pursue his ambitions, times have been tough to him till now. Can't really say how positive he is about all that, but I really believe things will get better as time passes. The parents miss their kids and vice versa. And then, a few of my close friends encountered troubled waters, one lost some money and his job, one is having family problems, 2 are having professional problems etcetra. All this adds to the tensions!! And these days I have started missing my long gone "mia amor" too much, still can't figure out why!! But I am a firm believer of the fact that that feeling is a come and go, so no big deal. What bothers me the most these days is the ever lasting and ever phasing  "what does my future have in store for me?" But then that question, I am pretty sure, will never stop haunting me. oh! and BTW, did i mention, I am learning French(for the second time) and this time I might just end up learning properly. I also made some new friends and lost some of my old ones.These days, with respect to my job profile, I am into doing what I have always wanted to do and I am learning alot.(This round is mine!I am sure Life must be looking where and how to land a punch) I just hope I end up doing it well.
Well that's what's been up with me in a nutshell(literally)!
