Bibhuti-bhusan Stuck in the Deadlines
The post-card picture depicting a bright sunny day across the lush green valley between the snow-capped mountains reached his inbox paradoxically on a dismal dark afternoon. If it had been a happy story I should have been writing that my main protagonist leaped up in joy to spread the warmth and glow all across the ecosystem he inhabited. But since this is real life, where thorns are more common than the rose itself, he added one more entry to the ever increasing list to be fed to the alert spam guard and deleted the mail.
While he was busy keying in the figures inside the neat blocks of the spreadsheet, the dulcet tunes of the flute from his MP3 player resonating in his grey cells, unwrapped the obliterated poet in him. Recycling the deleted mail he set the picture as the desktop wallpaper. He was impassionedly contemplating the bitmap image from pixels to pixels, when his reverie was shattered by the repeating beep from his Organizer gadget. It was a reminder of the upcoming meeting scheduled 30 minutes later.
A disillusioned Apu returned back to the maze of the blocks on his spreadsheet to race against the deadlines.

Sayan welcome to my blog.As for the deadlines you can run but you can never hide.Even people in creative business like writers get deadlines from their publishers. That makes me think maybe Devdas needn't die of cirrhosis of liver if the publisher hadn't been so hasty ;-).
BTW you got an informative blog running out there in style.Keep it up.
