Holiday

I've taken the day off. Ive been looking forward to this day and having fantasies about getting up late, having breakfast and studying. Ok that was one of the fantasies. But it was a recurring one. Since I have an exam in less than a month. Since I am not prepared for it.

This is what actually happened. I woke up from a nightmare about missing the last bus to Thane. I checked the clock. It was 7 am. Hmm. So much for getting up late. Then I fantasised [ you have to adapt] that I would get up and go for a jog on the beach. Ok, a walk. Maybe a stroll? For the last one year my daily exercise routine has comprised running after above mentioned last bus to Thane and breaking the unhealthy monotony of sitting in front of a computer by walking towards the coffee machine. Instead, I turned on the TV. Some people have an aversion to watching TV in the morning saying its not a good way to start one's day. Some others have an aversion to eating sweet, chocolatey things in the morning. I did both. I would even have had a drink except Im not into that sort of stuff. You see, I am a teetotaler. Out of choice. Out of fear that I'd become an addict. Also, out of fear of the things I'd say. Or sing. [ I've forgotten chemical formulae and the poems we learnt in school but the lyrics to Wannabe continue to evade my mind's Garbage Collection]
Then I vegetated. I napped for a while. I logged in and tried to maintain a consistent font across posts. Why wont it happen??!??! Then I watched TV. Went out so that I could get some food. Ordered more food in. And slept.
Ive done nothing. Absolutely nothing. Glorious nothing!

Adolescent angst of a 23 year-old

I was a loner. I was a loner with a sister as my confidante, companion, philosopher - everything. Then my sister moved across the world.And I became a loner with friends from school. Who became my *very* good friends. And also the reason I thought I could make more friends. College convinced me otherwise. So I resumed my mantle of loner to the tune of Cynical Sam's refrain : I told you so! Then came training. And I met lots of people and made friends. A year later, I am still surprised to discover that they didnt feel the same.
Same damn thing over and over. And I don't learn. I don't think this was quite what Elton John had in mind when he sang "Circle of Life".

Things that make me go "Why you little.."

Its been a long time. When I look at the title of the previous post and the promise it makes, I smile and think how naiive I was. I had thought that the title would oblige me to write a long post..Oh well. Better something than nothing is how I console myself.

Some Things that piss me off :
- People saying "she's not fair but she's cute" or "she's dark but beautiful".If you're being superficial, at least dont be racist.
- Someone wearing the same top as I am. And in a smaller size.
- Lazy people who voulunteer for things and end up not doing them. Know thyself!!
- People who treat their partners like servants. Go get your own glass of water!
- People who let their partners treat them like slaves. Go get some self respect.
- 70 buck soups that contain slivers of vegetables, maybe two atoms thick. Unless Ive wronged those restaurants and when they promise mushroom soup, they actually grind mushrooms into the broth resulting in the lack of appearance of substantial mushrooms.
- People who suck up to the boss. No excuse.
- Vjs and RJs who suffer from logorrhea. To quote from Shamur's modern masterpiece "Let the music play".
- People saying "you South Indians". Go loop up a map - South India is not one amalgamated state.


Please do let me know about the things that tick you off. There's nothing like finding you have a common enemy to fan the flame of friendship.
