6:40am - A wonderful morning it is. Its the end of the week and I've woken up early today. Oh well the bus won't be here till 7am and I have more than enough time to bath and get dressed. Might as well sleep for another 5 mins.
6:45am - Yep its a lovely morning. Friday's always bring a lovely smile on my face and today's no less any different. The weather is awesome and it looks like it could rain anytime now. Let's see...what should I wear for the day....hmmm..yep the new shirt and those cargoes should be perfect, after all it is Casual Friday today :) Better hurry though, don't have time to chat else I'll miss my bus.
7:30am - Finally at the office. Seriously, the traffic in this city is awkward, a mere half an hour makes a difference in this place to turn from empty roads to a crowded jungle of bikes, cars and buses. It was a very cheerful day at work and I was kinda proud of what I wore today, come on after all it s new and I had hand-picked it after a whole 2 hrs of shopping. Got a lot looks from the colleagues and noticed how many of the cute gals kept giving me smiles. I was on top of the world. It’s a great day after all :)
8:30am – Done reading the latest in the news. Its sad how the bull keeps rising and falling every other day. I’m glad most of my investments are safe…. Hmm….what’s this? A mail from my HR. Wonder what it could be:
Dear all,
It has come to our notice that some employees are dressing inappropriately to the office. I’m sending alongwith a presentation that will help you understand better on how dress up.
You should note that the following should be adhered to even on Fridays:
NO Jeans
No chappals or sports shoes
Use only T-shirts “with collars”
No baggys (Pants with pockets on the knees etc…)
No dark colour T-shirts
Please do dress up appropriately for the work environment; after all first impressions do count. If you face any concerns please do let me know.
Regards

Oh boy, someone seriously got himself into trouble today. I mean this ain’t a mail that would be sent around without a reason would it. Suddenly, I hear people giggling around me. Uhm….why is everyone suddenly looking at me like this? Did I do something funny? Or did I spill something on my clothes….my clothes….gulp…bright red shirt with the number ‘35’ imprinted, baggy pants with more than two pockets around the knees, sneakers, week long stubble……uh oh!
