September 2007 - Nagpur
Finally, I was done with my graduation in June. I am a Chemical Engineer!! Life was too easy for me during my college period. No responsibilities over my shoulder. Suddenly life was not easy during my pre-joining days at home.
I was placed in one of the best Indian IT firms, Tata Consultancy Services. Desperately waiting for my professional life to begin with mixed feelings. I was excited about the job at the same time scared of the responsibilities that would come with it.
It was over 3 months already and there was no news about my joining date. Life was so boring. No friends to gossip, no lectures to bunk, no multiplayer gaming on LAN, no hangouts with friends, no birthday bumps. I missed my hostel life the most.
My family was in a financial crisis. This made mom lose her patience sometimes. She kept on asking me about any news regarding the joining date. Unfortunately, I could not give her any good news then.
During this period, me and my sister thought of bringing a new family member to join us. On the evening of September 2, 2007 we added one more family member. He was no more than a week old and did not even open his eyes. We fed him with the spoon and made him sleep beside us.
He is of cross breed. I am not sure about his breed yet. Complete Cream color, long and soft hair, a white triangle on his forehead (called as 'Stop'). The most interesting thing about him is that his eye color keeps changing multiple times in a day. LOL
The next day, he started making weird noises. We could not understand what those noises meant. Finally we let him down and kept a bowl of milk in front of him. With eyes still closed, he was trying to identify the item in the bowl. Every time he moved forward to drink the milk, he would hit his nose to the bowl and the milk would spill on the floor. We held him by his neck and directed him to the milk. It is still one of our most memorable moments with Tuffey Ambekar, our puppy.
