Road to Perdition

He must have felt that he should show this gesture as a token of appreciation , but even I knew he must have regretted asking me.This is my story...

After a long and tired day we are finally ready to give the delivery of phase 1. I felt good about myself and so does my project manager who is sitting in San Hosay.It is 2 a.m. and my efforts to reach the desired machine (my manager's m/c) have failed , he asked me for my m/c address so that he could pick up the deliverable from my machine while I picked some coffee.

10 minutes later...

I m back and give him a call ,

"Hi"

"Hi Kapil"

(It was coming...)
"Hey, you should upgrade your machine. Send me a request and I'll grant it for you"

"For...RAM ?"

"No, you hardly have any space on your m/c "

(I smelled trouble here)
"ohh....I still have 786 megs left (bad attempt)"

(...my road to perdition)
"Out of 14 GB. Get an upgrade. Send me a mail"

(dying words...!!)
"Well, Thats not a problem"

(final kill)
"Why?"

(The prey struggles helplessly and...DEAD)
"Well....hmmm...(indicator of trouble)...You see I have a lot of songs on my machine"

"Ohh..haha. Okie" (Fake,Is it ?)

(I dont know whether I have to laugh or cry. I was wide awake for most of the night)


Today breakfast, Somebody reminded me "Kyun ki manager bhi kabhi developer tha".
And today morning I had a different fear - That he would ask me to share my collection
and where is it...I deleted it, mann !!
