Procastination.... Ouchhh !

Lemme start this post with a group that i recently found on Facebook--> *Did U do IT* *Sorry mom, 4got* *Do U ever 4get to EAT/SLEEP/WATCH TV !?! *

Am sure.. most of us have been in the above situation.. And today.. it was no different for me :)

After sitting up late till 3 am last nite... i was woken up by the blaring and incessant intercom rings.. (I hate my driver for calling up every morning on the intercom :( )

So here i was, stumbling outta the bed.. just to acknowledge my driver's presence! That done.. i realised.. it was 10.30 am and i am running short of time to complete the assignments for the week. So while I switch on my PC (that's the first thing i do instead of attending nature's call or brushing my teeth :P ), I check my cellphone... shit.. 3 missed calls from dad.

Talk to him.. and realise that i forgot to mail him the university mail stating the amount for registration of pre-req courses; basically he needed to present this proof to his bank to issue the DD. So i immediately mail him the required stuff.. and get hooked onto facebooking and mail checking.

11.30 am - Amidst all this, it dawns upon me that i havent had breakfast yet. Got myself an omlette made, then sat and read newspaper... which was strewn with news of Kasab's death sentence.

12.30 pm- I get working on my assignments.

1.15 pm- Get a call from dad, "Tanu, there are some new rules of the bank that unless the CA fills up a form on RBI website and approves the transaction... bank cannot initiate the process to issue a DD! Mom has told u to speak to our CA.. and ask whether he can help."

1.35 pm- Talking to CA, told him the issue, to which he responds, "murkha aahet bank wale.. this is not needed for any amount lower than USD 3000$ ! Tell dad to speak to me.. i'll tell him what to tell to the banker."

I do as told... but in the mean time, checked with a friend whether she faced the similar issue- answer YES.. but no need of CA... probably u can fill it yourself on the RBI website!

(By the way-- did i tell u guys that i have to courier my DD TOMORROW to US??? ... yeah-- that's where and why the drama starts! )

1.45 pm - Mom calls, shouts for keeping things till last minute! Then tells me to come to pick her up from office so that we could try our luck at ICICI bank. I scream " i have an assignment deadline, how can i come, as in what difference will I make by coming? , i haven't even had a bath, no lunch too.. " .... REPLY "do u want ur DD or not for tomorrow??"... keeps the phone! :(

2.00 pm - Out of my house.. in the car, going to pick up mom.

2.30 pm - With mom in gaddi... "Everytime you do this... u knew since last month that u have to send the DD on 9th May... but you woke up today???? What will you do when you goto US.. who will run around with u there??? What if ICICI also rejects... good then.. sit n hatch eggs... everytime you do some stupid thing and make me pay through me nose to get stuff done urgently... So nicely you could have got the DD from your dad (my dad is a banker)... and now we r going to a private bank and paying them for that service... blah.. blah.... you know i get up at 5 am, such a bad day i had at work.. i was just waiting to come home and get an hour's nap.. n here u hav ruined it all...."

My ears went deaf :( :( :(

3.00 pm - at ICICI... filling forms... make a spelling mistake (outta nervousness surely... spelled kelley as keley)... doomed... ! Again angry looks from mom- shit !! The banker gives me a fresh new form .. have to redo everything again :(

3.45 pm - leaving bank with assurance from banker that i'll get my DD tomorrow morning.

4.00 pm - Mom - " what luck we have an account in this bank.. ! now call up your dad and tell not to do anything.. " Told dad the history-geography!

4.05 pm - Almost near Birdy's -- telling mom that i wanna have pastry... reaction - "Good.. EAT N BECOME FAT!!" hehehhehee... as ignorant as i cld get ... hopped out of the car.. fetched a mixed fruit special cake and 3 Chicken croissants from Birdy's . :)

4.15 pm - At home.. relieved.. ! but promise mom that this wont happen again!

(someone has rightly said- God couldn't be everywhere, so He created mothers! :) dunno what i wld do if mom didn't be my sole saviour everytime i land myself in a soup)

Moral of the story: procastination.. ouchhh ! ;-)

PS: will update this post if i do get my DD on time tomorrow ;)
