Live a day- twice
Hi,
I generally don’t get to get online everyday. But its good, for anytime i get is worth the cost.
The effect of mumbai tragedy has subsided from newspapers. But the effect is still on.
Yesterday, I and Haribhai(My Incharge) were tackeling an accumulator. It had a huge bladder inside it which was to be filled with Nitrogen. It smells wierd. But anyways we emptied it. It was going to take about 2 hrs to complete discharge it. Thank God! a spreader brokedown on one of the machines. Well! the time went of well, moving gear, fixing deshackels, moving slings, removing older one from head block. attaching new one. Ones it was fixed and it was being tested, I just took a look at the sea. It was growing violent.
I could not wait for myself to attach myself with the net and to get the recent news on the blasts. Its really wierd, how and why people like to kill others for business. Can we not, just do some other job?
Anyways we moved back to workshop, accumulator was discharged. I looked at the parts of old one. It has a very piculiar arrangment. If you want to take out the connection in between you have to put in both your hands, hole is just 2 inches in diameter! and then turn the sleeve upside down then fold it and take it out. It works as a seal. But the valve fitted!! Its beautiful. The touching surface was point smooth. And the inner side of the whole body, marvellous. I loved looking at it and staring inside. Little emberresing for my fellow men(I had the spare with me till the shift was over!!). It was georgious.
The day at the office was over the moment i boarded the bus. I switched on the news.
Sieze was over. Stories were there on news about the Heros from NSG. BBC by now had switched over to Nigerian riots. Weather was OK, I could still get back and have a bath before dinner.
I had my dinner. It was something tasty, i over ate. Everyone around me was watching news, INdIA TV/NDTV/AAj Tak and something else. I was just thinking of my room. I cleaned it just yesterday eve and had ruined it in the morning trying to reach on time. Should i be cleaning it? I don’t know, may be not. I have never understood discipline. Others in this world do. Better men then me! What anyways are they doing. Watching news or blowing buildings?.
I just don’t know. I am tired. I will need to take my sleep. And not be late tomorrow.
