who... me?

It all started when gretta called in the middle of the evening, “ M coming in 5 mins, pacca!” she repeated my dialogue in that teaser tone. I had said that to her on 26th june when she'd called me to the office to sign a few papers. Obviously I dint turn up coz I completely forgot about it and she decided to haunt me today after 12 days! Well, I have now promised I’d be there on 11th july morning. She cooled down only when I assured I’d bring bakarwadi, kachoris and karanjis for all the staff!!! Yeah, that’s how they treat their boss’s daughter…like family…they’d wasool this everytime I forget to send my expenses or sign the vouchers.
While all this conversation was happening, mum was sitting right in the front. When I was done with gretta, she stared. “ that day, I told u to inform aji we’ll be home by 8pm and have waran bhat. U only told her we’ll be home by 8.30 and left hurriedly.” I was lost again. I am the last person u’d wanna rely on to transfer phone msgs… all this made me think of many a times that I have forgotten to give msgs to manda aji from her frnz when she’d be out of the house. And only when they appeared in front of me or called back wud I remember that they had called. They’d curse me for it!
The other day, jayu was in pune and I had promised pranju to meet up the day before. Jayu and I spent the whole day together and I completely forgot to call pranju, infact I remembered when she msgd me in the night.
Now, as I search thru the different types of amnesia, m unable to state my kind so I’ll just invent one for my sake- lets call it, sujuz amnesia. Yes, that’s the defect m living with…the ability to forget msgs.
