People have said that i am a guy with good memory..but somehow i have this weakness of absent-mindedness!! I shall share with you an incident which happened last month which i can safely say was the height of my absentmindedness
That was one saturday when i had to go to office for some work which i had to complete urgently. I was not that interested in going that day but still i had to. So i was very lazy in getting ready and started leaving home only at around 11. I also wanted to get my Car's RC book xeroxed so i had kept that in my pocket. Only when i went clost to my car(it was parked some 100 mts away from my home), i realised that i forgot to get the car key. i went back again to get the car key. Then i opened the car trunk for whatever reason i dont remember now and i kept the RC book in the trunk and closed it. I went to office in my car . The fuel level was very low, the dial gauge almost close to the reserve capacity. I thought that i shall fill the petrol when i come back from office. When i reached office i had completely forgotten that the RC book was in trunk. My department is in the 12th floor of our building. I went directly to the place the copier was kept and opened by bag only to find that the RC book was missing. I had no clue where i had left it. so i called back home to find out if the RC book is there or not. My mom was searching everywhere and she couldnt find it. Then i thought of going down and check for it in the car. I was checking everywhere in the dashboard but i couldnt find. only then i realized that i had opened the trunk before leaving. So i thought of checking there also. Atlast i found my RC book there!! Then i went upstairs again and started doing my work...after an hour or two, when i was done with my work, i returned home. on the way, i stopped at a petrol filling station which is around a kilometer from my home and filled the tank full!! When i was tried to take the purse out of my back pocket, to my horror,i realized that i forgot to bring my purse. I informed the person that i shall park my car here and will go and get the money. I didnt want to tell at home that i had filled petrol in my car and then found that i didnt have my purse with me!! I said to mom that i am going to get newspaper from shop. She asked me about the car and i said i have parked it far away as there was no parking place. I paid the money and came back in the car. I purposely parked it little bit away from my house. Only after sometime when everything was done, i informed that all these things had happened and we had a good laugh over it!! Still there are many anecdotes like these which i shall share at appropriate times!!
