Chronicles of Cafeteria: THE book lady

Our company’s cafeteria is on 9th floor of our building and I spent my most of the time in it ….not really. Well whatever time I spent there I observe people around me. After completing my 3 months in the cafeteria (and in the company also) I have made list of some of the characters in the cafeteria.

Our cafeteria have a 32 inch LCD TV running all the channels like M TV, channel V and most important Start Cricket for cricket fans like me in “DVD quality” picture thanks to “---Sky”…hurray. (Well this is not a sponsored blog)
So today I will write about one such character, we call her “THE book lady”

There is one girl who comes alone in cafeteria with THE book. She comes in the cafeteria and looks around mysteriously and spots her table to sit. The table she occupies is usually a front sit with perfect TV watching angle. Then she looks around again mysteriously and opens her THE book. After observing for a month I and my cafeteria mates thought that she is very studious, knowledgeable, intelligent person (actually we thought she is psycho, who doesn’t have any friends and reads only THE book)

One day when Test between India and Australia was becoming interesting, THE book lady came and occupied the best front seat and started reading THE book even when Irfan Pathan was bowling banana out swingers to Phil Jacques, How can she?

After close observation, we also came to conclusion that she reads the same book all the time….weird (either she only pretends to read THE book so that everybody will think she is intellectual or her reading speed is like 0.0000000001 words per minute, even K.G. students have better reading speed than this).

Usually we discuss the more serious aspects of her life, what will happen when she gets married and stuff like that. One day we saw her wearing a “Mangalsutra”, all the hours of discussion we had was voided. So now days we discuss how her husband is suffering from her habit of reading THE book.

Another day me and my friend were walking down the stairs from cafeteria, and THE book lady came from behind and to our surprise she was reading THE book even when she was walking down the stairs. We were like somebody gave us 240V shock and could not control our laughter. We thought she is superwoman doing multiple tasks simultaneously.

I bet she must be reading THE book even when she is using her computer in office/in team meeting/in conference call/when Saas bahu serials is on/when she is falling from a 60 storied building etc.
Any takers for the bet :).
