I reached the office; I tried to concentrate on work. Off lately I am losing all my motivation at work. There seem to have been a monotony set in life. I was not sure of where this job was taking me. No promotion thanks to a few people on my team. No pay raise either apparently the company has run into losses and this year is going to be like last year. “You have a job be happy about it” Is all that my manager can say these days. I was lost in my thoughts when I heard Sameer call me out. “Tara !” I startled for a moment. Thoughts do that to you !!! “Yes, Sameer” “I am sure you know what cacophony means” Asked Sameer with a sarcastic smile on his face. “Yes I Do, but why do you ask?” I knew he had something on his mind; he was a brat. “Our Boss, have you heard him sing?” asked Sameer “Excuse me, Why would I hear our boss sing?” “Gosh Tara, you missed that scene, our boss was singing, Aaja re..Aaja re oh mere dil bar aaja…… hahaha. We all heard him; it was like a cacophony. He is a disaster of a singer” Said Sameer laughing out loudly. “What the hell, Sameer. Why are you always making fun of people?”  I snapped back He could see that I was furious.  I do not know if it was right to make fun of people, but should I let Sameer be the way he is. “Listen, Tara, I think you need a break, you seem to have become too idealistic in life. It was light humor alright. You know something it is not our bosses voice that sounds like a cacophony. I now feel it’s your thoughts. They seem to be sounding too. discordant.” Sameer said to me with a straight face, no sarcasm. For a moment I was taken aback. I did not know what was happening to me. But I knew something had to change.
