Headache. That one word defines this week. The reasons are varied. Primarily, I attribute the splitting headache to fluctuating temperature and freaquntly annoying colleagues. I want to scream at some people. For instance, yesterday, I pointed out at the blunder in Performace Report. The performance guy rectified the issue and attributed the finding to someone…

That’s how I began my work day. I know what you’re thinking. That’s a lot of pickle. That quantity will last me the whole summer. *exaggerating* I just realize now that I have not included the glass of water – the most essential thing on the dining table. The paratha was okay and I devoured…

It still feels bizarre. Yesterday was almost dream-like as I survived through the day like a zombie. Sleep-deprived mind isn’t always productive. Thankfully, Friday came soon enough.
