the making of a good loser



i rubbed my eyes in disbelief, boy how did i manage to loose my wallet again.! if im counting right i ve scored 3 points in the oh-shucks-ive-lost-it-again department in one bloody month.I was shocked but undeterred , and as i started hurling things here n there in utter frenzy i thanked providence that i had never known the joys of Credit Cards.!
I swear by JuteCottage bags n wallets n the rate at which im losing them,im sure contributing to their booming business,shucks!

the first was a jhatang orange one that i lost at Chinnu's Video Centre.After hurling a string of abuses for the cheap quality DVD's he was renting out and also commenting on the outrageous daily rental,i went back home.. half an hour later i realise my folly.! god dammit.! i run back to the store in my PJ's to be confronted by the grinning shop owner. It was pay-back time and our pal had that go-screw-urself look on his face. Lost 200 bucks plus an old one rupee note( it gave me company for 5 years :( !) n my debit card. Thanks to our wonderful salary(my relatives think im on dole!) i didn't ve to worry about my perpetrator sweeping the crumbs from my measly account!

the second was a jhatang red one that i lost in our company cab. Now this story is interesting cos i got back my wallet, poorer by 900 bucks + 2 ,30 bucks food coupouns. My driver , the good samaritan that he is returned back the wallet but it was swiped twice at some petrol pump.! ok moi not getting into a blame game here but his story of how he stumbled upon my wallet was not tangible,not one bit of it! on the brighter side since it was swiped at a petrol pump i get those all valuable points that ICICI offers,ah freebies .!

that jhatang red one is wht i lost day before yday, again in the cab. My conclusion, my bag is jinxed. 100 bucks+ 0ne 20 buck food coupon. sigh! i realized my imbecility yday morning and when i told it to my mom she was furious,so much so i was blinded red.!(she's an absolute angel but there are times when she looses it!)

Me :: "Mummy i cant find my wallet, did u take it?"
Mom :: "grrr..! u lost it again, have u lost your mind.!"
Sis :: "no no she lost her wallet, i dnt think she carries her mind wit her to loose it!"

losing can be painful,and the pain really pricks when u realize that some goon is enjoyin a bitti biryani wit ur money.
