The 2nd Sunday of February 2006, this incident happened and am too lazy to find out the exact date of the past. Anyways, Past is past !!
Imagine there is only 1 block in abilash, say A block with 4 floors. This should surmise the Norwich Union Westelgate office i work from. On a sunday evening, i came to take some work papers home and mail a few people. Around 6.20 pm i went out of my 1st floor to drink water around 6.20 pm i went out of my 1st floor to drink water (Errr..and visit the Afghan territory as well!) and came back and swiped my card to enter my floor. That the card didn't work shocked me, my mobile was inside, on my desk and the building has no lift. There was no phone anywhere, it was just a very small corridor, i ran up and down the stairs to see if any trace od human's around. Thinking as to how adventurous and pathetic it would it be if i had to stay there till morning . I was wondering as to what will i do? will i get sleep or will i become a lil mad in those few hours of solitude!! Reminds of 'the count of monte cristo' book where a guy spent years in prison and the tactics he used to keep him sane all throgh and i was busy walking through all his techniques and considering which one to choose!! My thoughts were driving me such frantic. i paused .. slowed. my pace.. calmed my senses.. and thought for the 1st time .. in the few minutes after the incident happened. It struck me that there would be a phone in the security desk near the exit gate downstairs and i went there and didn't whom to call as u cannot make any outgoing calls until i saw the note in bold letters ' if access card does not work, pls call ********** number! A guy came. i was wondering if he will scold.. me .. it was surprise.. tat he was very friendly and i told him that i was pressuming tat i have access till 8 pm in the weekends too. He only gave a smile and said not to worry. i was reassured.. i picked my things.. and ran from the office.. without wanting to turn back.. and on monday ,.. morning .. i was relieved .. to see people around !!! I also had this feeling they and I have already been locked inside the walls of an office :-))) !!! Atleast i would not have to fret about the lack of company!!
