A Series of Unfortunate Events:

I always thought that a series of unfortunate events are not possible to a single person on a single day. I was proven wrong the other day. I realized again, it is tough belive anything until something happens to themselves.

Event 1:
As usual my day started a bit early (around 4.30 AM). I had planned to go cycling with Senthil as I was advised not to go for running for some time due to my injury. Senthil had worked late to make his spare cycle ready for me. We started aroung 5.00 from his place to reach the starting point. From there we took a route that would be 15 - 20 KM. After that we had a stop and we decided to go for a breakfast at a nearby hotel. While going there, those guys have left fast and I could not cycle at all. Only then I realized that I had a flat tyre. Later I took the cycle in an auto and went Sentil's house to park it there and get my bike. This is my first cycling experience and 1st of the series of unfortunate event.

Event 2:
I need to submit my last 3 months bank statement and I did not have my IPIN number yet. Since this was an emergency the HR spoke to the customer relationship manager to get it done for me. I was told that I had to collect it from the manager by 11. When I went there, the manager was not there and when I called him up, he is simply saying that I have to come in 1 hr later to catch him. I could do nothing, but atleast I was happy that finally I am getting the statement.

Event 3:
One my friend was telling me from last night that she had to eat chicken. So I informed my friends that we would go out today for lunch. Since 3 of 5 guys going are vegetarian's I suggested the Dhabha Express (Mahalingapuram, Kodambakkam). We had been there before and the experience was not that bad, that's why I suggested the place. We placed an order for Kadai Paneer among other things Those guys delayed it very late and when they came up we were damn hungry and started eating whatever was kept. But instead of eating one of the veggie was looking closely at paneer. Suddenly she said there was no panneer, but that is chicken. The other guy who was pure veggie had taken a couple of bites by that time. What those buggers had done is they had prepared the chicken and decorated with vegetables and paneer at the top. I really felt very bad, as I was one who suggested the hotel, and I thought it is fair to pay for the lunch.

Event 4:
This is the highlight event. A movie by the name "Katrathu Tamil (What I learnt is Tamil)" has got released. I was so impressed by the title and the advertisment of the movie that I forced 3 of my friends to watch the movie with me. I booked the tickets for them and made them come. The movie started by 10.30. The movie was so depressing that we could not sit beyond 11.30. Within one hour there would have been atleast 30 gore deaths. None of us could watch the movie at all. When one of the friend asked shall we walkout, all the 4 of us walked out without any other word. It really felt good after coming out of the theatre.

I knew this does not sound like really unfortunate events, I have everything intact with me, but collectively those things made a horrible day for me. Hope this does not gets repeated in the near future.
