You think you had a funny day?

Its fascinating at times how things get stuck to your mind. No matter how hard you try, no matter what you do, no matter how occupied you are, its still out there at the back of your head, like a tiny flame in total darkness, inviting you towards it! And its unbelievable you know, you are there sitting on the comfortable chair, you are occupied, you have calls to take, presentation to give, conferences to attend and bigshots to please but no, no sir no, its still out there, inside your brain I mean, stuck. Its like a butterscotch double scoop in a hot Chennai afternoon, like Yasmine Bleeth on the shiny silvery sand you know, you can think of it once but you are stuck with the image whole day.

And its irritating. I mean its a really stupid thing to do. Why the hell would any sane person want to do that? Its totally insane and ridiculous and there are way important things in your life. But that’s immaterial as long as you don’t do it. It keeps coming back. Something is seriously bothering you here. You are now in a conference call, trying to convince everyone to stick to your proposed solution even though it totally sucks, and suddenly Bham! again .. fuck man! Its like an elephant inside your head and you cannot ignore it no more. What the hell is wrong with you today? You finish the call and start thinking. Well you gotta do what you gotta do. So you start for home a little early and while sitting in the bus you think about the day, hoping against hopes that maybe the madness will come to an end. In the meantime you spot a hot girl on the other side of the road and totally forget about the “thing” for a few happy moments. Now that she is no more in sight so you are back to where you were, yeah contemplating! But that didn’t help just as you had feared it won’t.

And then you decide, out of frustration, to do “it” while just making sure that no one ever finds out you did it. Yeah its a deal with yourself. You reach home and now you are feeling excited. You can smell the blood inside your veins. In the matter of seconds, You are all charged up, your heart rate increases, you involuntarily flex your muscles and are walking slow and measured steps. All voices around you seem to have faded. You are amazed at your own transformation and think that perhaps you are so focused that you could listen to your own heart beat, even while your head held high. But that turns out to be a long shot. So your focus back to the task in hand.

You open your bag and take out your laptop. It makes a little sound while its starts and surprisingly it gets you high. You feel cold on a hot and humid day. You take a deep breath, close you eyes, think about the hot girl you saw on the way back home and smile while you open your eyes. You start the browser and surf to that website and to that particular post. You are irritated when its doesn’t load up at once and were thinking about trying google cache when it shows up.

Well now you type first 3 lines in a notepad and convert binary to decimal. After you do that you convert the decimal to alphabetical by substituting them in alphabetical order (ie a for 1 and J for 10). Now you are in a fix. What about 21? is it “b+a” or is it “u”? you think about morse code and try to forget that as fast as you can. You then underline such words and keep a track of possibilities. Now you read what you have. Does it make any sense? Nope, not in any combination! cool! And now you are happy again!

PS:- In my defense, I will just say that it was a really boring day at work and also I feared that if I didn’t do it, I would lose my powers.

PPS:- I didn’t try all combination
