Job

This post was supposed to be here on 10th of april but i am late in writing and posting it all because of stupid power cuts we keep on having. Anyways, its been a week since i have started this job in councelling and teaching IELTS and TOEFFL which is way better than my teaching in school. I was about to run around giving resumes in the schools for a job but this job saved me. All thanks to my teacher who approached me with it. All i have to do is sit in the newly opened office with a novel or my i-pod listening to music and wait for people to turn up for their aptitude tests to be conducted. Then in the evening i have to teach IELTS right now, no TOEFFL students at present. Well i am doing something at least.

The thing is the office is opened in an old home built during the British rule because of presence of a very elegant fireplace in the room we have our office in. But that doesn't make it look old as the three ladies i see every day who make me feel young. Too young actually. They own the place and they differ in ages but the thing that's same among all of them is extremely white hair. Seriously, that white hair will make my dad feel young. :D

There's this guy called Chandilal who is their servant. He has the duplicate keys of the office and he is responsible for getting our office and bathroom cleaned by a sweeper before i turn up in the morning. We don't refer him by his actual name. We just call him fat guy. How convenient! One day the owner came to our office and tried to understand what we were doing actually. She was informed by my boss and she kept nodding with every sentence my boss spoke. It made me feel as if she is trying to understand but not really understanding things. She told us to treat the fat guy like a dirt. So now we call him "that fat guy whom we are supposed to treat like a dirt". :D

Things are quiet there for time being. I am waiting for holidays of children to begin when they will be turning up for aptitude tests. Then i won't be reading novels or listening to music because of lack of time. I would like to have that kind of scenario. Hopefully everything goes well.
