For a corner cabin...

Well...thats it. Its official. Im a rat. in the rat race...

How did i come to the conclusion???

Well, for the past few days, ive been working out of cabins in delhi and blr, which are home to an exalted few...Consulting folks would appreciate the meaning of a cabin, and the men (well, sad truth is, there aint no women) in suits...

The more i sit in a cabin, the more i want one for myself. And i had this conversation with a partner today which went on these lines...

Him: So,you are the type who works morn to noon, 24 hours a day huh???No life, no family...intending to stay single for the next 10 years kya...
Me: (Normally i would have taken off for his intrusion in my life, but was in a mellow mood)...Kya karen sirjee, yeh Firm hi aisa hai...if i want a personal life, its at the cost of a career, aur cabin milna hai tho.....But then, you never know...jo hoga so hoga
Him: Not really, all u need to do is slow down....
Me: Slow down or not, with the exception of one lady, who is married, is there any one beyond director level in this firm
Him: Nahin hain kya????
Me:Ha...thats the point...this place is unfriendly to women
Him: gives me a weird look and changes subject

Now the logic of all this conversation was, that it got me thinking that its a great quandry in life...If i had been male, and this conversation happened, it would have been more on the lines of "teri biwi tera khoon kardegi", and no mention of slowing down...

Coming back to the cabin...As i spoke to him, i made a mention of wanting my own cabin, and a little later it hit me... i really want That Cabin!!! Well thats one quandry out of this window...whether here or elsewhere, i really want that cabin... its upto me to figure out how to do it...

And as for a corner cabin, i assume thats what ill want in a while from getting the cabin...after all those are the top dog's picks

Well, here comes the rat...(sing in Mendehlson's wedding march tune)
Tra-la-la-la
