ok, today has to be the worst day of this week. in fact it better be, coz i can't survive another day like this. i have realised that CNBC is a loser channel with nincompoops as reporters. ther are exceptions of course. thankfully.

the day begins with Patnaik informing me that her wallet was picked on the bus. well, nothing new, except that it had our tickets to mumbai in it. Patnaik, " I don't know how it happened. i am generally very aware about myself." Balls! (she admits this is what her mother would have told her as well)

parvaty and i went about tracing a company showing fluctuations in its share prices over the last month. braved the rain and humidity, unlike the pampered reporters at cnbc who have fancy cars to travel in. went and ofund out that they were a genuine company. came back to update our boss. but all we got was "i think you should wait for Payal (the reporter who is supposed to do the story). now Payal happens to be unwell until the end of the week. so no chance of getting any story there.

i wish i could rewrite Alanis morrisette's song, ironic as Moronic and dedicate it to CNBC.
