Lauching the Nuke - 2010 525 d

Guys today is and will be the best day of my life till i become a proud BMW owner (or until i have Megan Fox making me breakfast ).

It is the day , i tick one thing off , from my bucket list.

Today was just like any other Monday morning , get up at 8 , do the regular stuff , have breakfast , watch tv and wonder why the H*** do i have to go to office today.

O damn !!! its 10 , running late . Put on the music player , the Custom painted Helmet and ready to feel like god all the way to the office ( ya right feel like god my foot , ask god to ride a bike in the rush hour , under the super sun with trucks blowing smoke all over you - even god wont feel like god then ).

Sitting in the office , with some work to do , over crowded area , masala aloo for lunch with half cooked puri ( no it aint my moms food ).

Still siting , trying to work ,wondering about all the pending personal work , just wondering and not doing anything about it .

suddenly my Crank ringtone jumps up and my erect communicator doing a break dance on the table , telling me , my friend Beemer Boy is calling.

Beemer Boy - ye kya caller ringtone hai , bhojpuri ?
Me - chodd na , maja aya na sunke.
Beemer Boy - wo sab chood , Turbo (thats what alot of ppl call me) , there is a 2010 525d , just for today , chalyega ??
Me - .......
Beemer Boy - chalayega ??
Me - .......
Beemer Boy - aree , say something
Me - when and where ?
Beemer Boy - come to the showroom NOW , car going by 5
Me -  thoda late chalega ...
Beemer Boy - if u want to drive , u come now or forget it.
Me - ok (confused ) , but abhi thoda KAAM hai ( suddenly i feel like a hero employe who gave up this oppurtunity (of driving the reason he feels he exists) to finish his work which was not that important)..dekhta hu, will call back in 10.


Now thats what the new 2010 BMW 525 looks like ..
Isn't she beautiful ??

So on one hand i had to finish my work ( which i was not aware was not as important as i thought ) and on the other hand i had a killer opportunity to drive a car ( which i believe is what i exist for "to tame the wild Beemers) .

Drive the car - loose the job - go broke - never be able to buy it  OR  Do the work - get a promotion - make money - buy my own 525d.

and so i sat there thinking , thinking , thinking and still some more thinking ..
You see i am not a big fan of the King Khan ( no not Amir Khan) , i meant this guy called SRK of KKR ,  once said  " jindagi jiyo.....(something i didnt pay attention to , all i remember ) , kya pata KAL HO NA HO"
so hell with whether i could buy one later on , i am going now ..heee haaaww
Went to boss
Me - Boss is this thing urgent ?
Boss - what thing ?
Me - this Ppt
Boss -  Whatt ppt ? ( this is when , is become of how less important is the work am concerned about )
Me - that corporate v/s government thing.
Boss - No , why ?
Me -  I need to go for 30 mins.
Boss -  where ?
Me - worli
Boss -  Why ?
Me -  Once in a lifetime opportunity ( what crap )..want to test drive the NEW 2010 BMW 5 SERIES
Boss - ....
Me - ....
Boss _ what is so once in the life time about it ? you can go tomorrow , day after or whenever.
Me - no , you see no one will get a Demo Car for until sometime , it launched last month , only this showroom has it for today , then she goes. i want bragging rights
Boss - bas***.......
Me - ( SHIT !!!)
Boss - Go
ME - ( NO SHIT !!!)
Boss - anything for a set of good wheels
Me - yes , the Boss is always right ( and at times like these , i love this thought ) .

So am off with a colleague , who is interested in getting out of the office and does not care a damn about the whole BMW thing .  YET

So we off on his Bullet , me sitting behind like a murga ( his backseat does not have a handle to hold on too , hence i kept on slipping backward . so to avoid falling down on my ass i was holding on to the knee guard , very bloody uncomfortable ).

Its 4.15 , we have to make it to worli , from parel by 4.45.
" Kushal , we need to reach there fast but ride slow ( feels like a shitty client brief ) ."

4.45 , we reach . Kushal has to wait outside ( just like any other driver ) , while the Boss ( thats me ) goes in and does the talking .

So am walking towards the entrance , full ARMAGEDDON style ( i am suppose to act like a serious buyer to protect Beemer boy ). Walking as if , i am gonna go in , look at the car , open my cheque book and buy off the whole damn lot .
The first gate , the watchman throws a tight salam and greets me " Good Evening "  with a big smile ( i guess he must be expecting me to buy one of the BIG cars his company sells )
