Yes Five...!

While traveling to office in bus, I started thinking of what all happened the previous day. After thinking I took a deep breathe with a smile on my face. :)).

The day before this day, I had lots of early morning dreams so couldn't sleep well.
I got up late as usual.
I was all set for the fresh new day. It was a bright sunny day. With my Ipod on my ears I am all set to catch a bus to my office...
Saala, that day the bus came 2 minutes before time and passed infront of my eyes. :(.

The public transport connection to my office is quite weird sometimes. Buses come early and most of the time late :).

Skies were displaying all different colors that day. After seeing the sky I thought it would be a great day. Reached office before 10 am. where in people come here to office at 6:30 am. Quite strange but true.
After reaching office when I checked my calender there was an invite to the team dinner party in volks fest. Volks fest is a kind of beer fest which is similar to October fest in Munich. It also has fun games and lot of rides. Invite was for unlimited food and beer. It was in "Hofbrau Gandl" (one of the beer tent) at 5:30 pm.

This day because of the urgency to catch the bus while coming to office, I forgot to wear my jacket. Calender also showed a meeting at 3:00 pm in BOSCH office in Feuerbach.
Since my office is in Schwieberdingen. My boss told me that he will give me a drop. He gave me a drive on his porsche convertible. I sat on a Porsche for a first time in my life. Roof was open since
it was sunny and we had a load music too. I felt really great. Thought of the skies which I saw in the morning and said to myself, It is indeed a great day !

The meeting in Feuerbach got over by 5:20 pm. well, it was a boring meeting as usual. They concluded it on a confusion. From there I left directly to the dinner place.

I reached that place by 5:55 pm. As said before It is one of the beer tent in volks fest. I entired that tent, the atmosphere was amazing. I looked all around "360 degree". People were all dancing and singing around. English and german songs were sung by the band which gathered on the stage. After 2 mins I found my team sitting, A fellow from my team waved at me. I joined my team and ordered a meal and a soft drink (cola) because I decided not to have beer that day.


Most of my colleagues where in their 2nd round of beer that time. One of my colleague was little drunk, he came to me and told me that he wanted to sit on one of the fun rides after his third beer and asked me to come along with him. I didn't think much, since the guy was very happy. I agreed for it.

After his 3rd round of beer, I went with him on one of the rides. Wooah...that was a good ride. I remembered wonderla. I had a very nice experience in wonderla , Bangalore.

After that we came back to the dinner place. The music was loud and people were all standing on their benches and dancing. Even I danced a lot and when I looked at my watch it was late almost 10:55 pm.

I decided to go home. At the same time, the person whom I accompanied to the fun ride comes to me and says "please help me, I am drunk and I don't know the way to my hotel, please take me to my hotel, please". It was very late, so i thought I will help him out to reach his hotel.
I took him to his hotel and I somehow manage to catch the last train towards my apartment, train "S5" towards Beitigheim, I have to get down in one of the station half the way and take a bus. I had to catch that bus because it was the last bus that night and morning buses start at 2:30 am.

while traveling in a train, I was very tired and unknowingly I fell asleep and I ended up in sleeping tight and reached Beitigheim, the last stop on train "S5". I didn't get down in the station where I was supposed to catch a bus. After 1 hour when I opened my eyes. I see myself in a train which is stopped in a station and no one is in the train. I got a shock and when I see my watch the time is 1:45 am and I was in the last station of the train. To my bad luck that was the last train and I was asked to get outside the train.

I thought I will take a taxi home. So I went out of the station to search for a taxi.
but unfortunately there was no taxi stand. By the time I come back to the station even the train wasn't there.
The temperature was dropping very quickly. It was very cold and I couldn't stop shivering, I forgot to take my jacket. The station is not so big it was a small station and there is no covered place.

My hands were freezing. I tried to sit on my hands. thinking it will be heated. But temperature won its race against my buttocks. ;)
I didn't know what to do. I couldn't find any covered location where I can sit.
Finally, my eyes fell on the lift. Fortunately for me this station had a lift. I rushed to the lift. kept my bag on the corner of the lift and sat down there keeping my head on my bag and hands below my arm. I sat for around 1 hour and fell asleep. Got a good sleep before I could hear "Enshuldigong" in my hears, I thought I heard it in my dreams and continued sleeping. After sometime someone shook me. I suddenly woke up as though I was hit by an electric shock. After opening my eyes I saw a lady and her dog waiting to use the lift. So they wanted me to excuse. I got up and came outside the lift. when I saw the time, It was 5:30 am, public transport had become normal. I reached home and slept.

This day, I reached office late at 11:20 am... I forgot to notice the sky this time. :)

I can't forget this experience for a long time.
I call this Blog as "yes five"...!
