A good end for the bad day

It was raining heavily this morning as i leave in my bright red Ford for work.

The traffic went from bad to worse. "What a good way to start the last working day of the week!", i said to myself.

Then when i reached my company, parked my car and wet my shoes the very moment i stepped out. Great.

Entered the office looking like the little mermaid who just got her fins turned into a pair of legs. ICAR report still not done. Great.

Worked, worked and worked till 4.50 pm. Entered Department 3's clean room to monitor production till 5.30 pm. Got a call from wire bond engineer,"Can i pass the report to you tonight? you can still read it at home,". "NO, today's the tenth day already; wayy passed the cycle time for the report. Please finish it by 6.30 pm ? Thanks. " I replied.

Waited till 6.30pm. Still no report. Called just to be greeted by the system's reply, "The number you have dialled is unavailable at the moment. Please try later." Grrrr

As you can see, i was having a bad day.

But as i was leaving, the rain has stopped. The sky is clear and invitingly beautiful. I stopped in my track and just stared blanky to the sky for a few minutes.

Just like that, i'm smiling again. :')

I remembered one opening article of a book by Michael Connelly, "The Poet" which was by Stephen King, an author known for his supernatural and horror stories. There was a sentence that struck me deep, left a mark and stayed on till today.

"..if you want to be good at writing be it short story or a novel, just keep on writing.."

It did not reflects to me that Stephen King is good with words. Rather i was inspired by the fact that such amazing person was able to describe something that even the smartest psychologist in the world couldn't explain.

I used to see people telling other people how talent is a must have to be a writer. And that particular person will start telling the others how talent is a must to be a writer. Soon, the whole world will think so. Imagine that. The next thing we can see is the increasing number of people; again blaming the fact that they're not talented that they can't write a good piece.
