Peel the potatoes


On Last Saturday, I was pondering over something related to projects and how I can do them more efficiently. But thoughts are always random, Within few minutes I started thinking of something else…I wanted to watch a movie or may be step outside and enjoy the rains; enough of thinking going on…Though it was just drizzling I didn’t want to get soaked, so I just stayed indoors and started watching the movie “Braveheart”. Ruchi wanted to experiment some cookery stuff, but she also wanted to watch the movie (She doesn’t leave me alone!).

Act II Scene 1 -

I took laptop in the kitchen and started the movie. Half an hour later she suddenly yells! I had to go a parlor. I survived the heartattack.

She was peeling boiled potatoes. “You will have to do this stuff…” She said imperiously.

Annoyed I asked, Why? I am watching Braveheart…

“You can do these two things at one point of time.” She explained.

" I am not a multitasker"…I retorted.

“You are a manager, I presume.”

“I manage projects…I don’t work!”

"Managers do have to work in case there is some emergency (I can’t understand how going to the parlor is cited as an emergency)."

I couldn’t argue further…She is right sometimes…However I just wanted to recite Dilbert principle “Man rises to his level of incompetency”. She had already left…
