ये रिस्थेदार मुझसे पूछते हैं कि नौकरी कैसी चल रही है. मुझे एक मिनट लगता है, जैसे मैं किसी बुरी फिल्म का मुख्य किरदार हूं. सच यह है कि मैं हाल ही में निकला हूँ, और इसके बारे में किसी को नहीं बताया. मैं अपनी बाल कटवाने के दौरान स्टाइलिश दिखने की कोशिश कर रहा हूँ, जबकि मेरे बैंक बैलेंस को अभी स्पा की ज़रूरत है. हर बार जब मैं कहता हूँ "बस ढीला हो रहा हूँ," अन्दर से ये सोचता हूँ कि 'नौकरी की खोज तो कर ...
