Lazy Days ...

By
People have sometimes asked me ... hows lyf in Mumbai ...

To tell you in short ...

I dont like the city that much ...
from the HUGE crowds in local trains ...
to the always hot temperature ...
to the local language of marathi (which I m trying to decipher by the way but still haven't been successful completely ... some words have been understood ...) ...

I got sick in the 1st month that I came here ... had to take a leave of 3 days ...

And then there is the work load ... COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM IMT ...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wake up at 8 am at the latest ... just imagine it ... even for a 8:30 am class ... we wake up at 8:32 am ...

Then I have to get dressed... atleast theek thaak kapde pehno ... no going in lowers and slippers ... my fav attire of IMT ...

Finally Breakfast and then run to the railway stn. which thankfully is only 4 mins run away from where I stay ... so I get my regular 4 mins exercise for the day ... not 8 mins coz waapas aatey hue toh thaka hota hoon ... so exercise is out of question ....

local mein ghusnaa is a fight and talent in itself ... can write an essay on it ... but wont ... coz those who have travelled already know it ... and those who haven't need to travel to understand it ...
to just give you a picture ... imagine the nazi concentration camp ... that's the packing in a local train ...

then finally going to the office ... time of arrival : 10 -10:20 am ... from the hot exteriors of the city to the relieving interior of a centrally air cooled office ...

then a 10 hr work of the office ... CANT TALK ABOUT IT B'COZ OF CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT ... just kidding ... can talk but wont ... coz I dont want to ... ;)

then by 8 pm I m drained ... and then I have to go back home ... another 1.5 hrs ... reacing there by 9:30 pm ... then dinner starts by 10:30 pm (the chefs there dont even start preparing the food before I come ... don't know why ... no matter what I tell them they continue this tradition) and ... finally after dinner finishes at 11:00 pm (sometimes later coz I m a slow eater) ... I watch a movie ... in dinon good movies are cuming at 11:00pm thanks to IPL ...

Finally ... go to sleep at 1:30pm ... have to coz another day is looming in my head ...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But then there is the dream of saturday and sunday ... the days I dream of ... no work ... only sleep ... on these days ... I go to sleep at 5:30 am.. dats in the morning... (if I want to) ... and wake up at 2pm-3pm on the afternoon .... then lunch ... then movies... games ... rest ... novels ... net ...

TIME FLIES ... and I am there again for the gruelling weekdays ...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




P.S. : I got my reward for the efforts ... the 1st quarter of my stipend ...

HIStory - Just Another Wednesday ...

They may not even be related ---  Hence the name ...  Chapter 'W' - Just another Wednesday  ... and not Chapter 2 or 3 ...   Lets see how the other chapters unfold ...    Until then ... Enjoy ... } Chapter  "W"  --  Just Another Wednesday He was a man of routine;  not a rut...  just a routine.   Every weekday morning, his mobile's alarm would go off, set at 5:46am sharp "BADUP-BADUP-BADAA--BADADADADUP-BADAA--BADUP-BADUP-BADAA--BADADADADUP-DADAA--" . At that very moment, he would hit the snooze button - so the mobile did not speak again to him for 6 mins. Then at 5:52am again the mobile tried to talk with him- "BADUP-BADUP-BADAA--BADA DA DADUP-BADAA--BADUP-BADUP-BADAA--BADA DA DADUP--" . Again, the s...

So... WHERE do you REALLY see yourself in 5 years???

By
It was in Dec 2009, over 5 years ago, when there was this one question which used to haunt me and my 419 friends (of IMT) ... It was a big question: WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN 5 YEARS?? Where did we hear it ... In Kapil Mohan, Hostel, Cafeteria, mock questions asked by friends, etc. etc. etc. ... Thus we heard it ALMOST EVERYWHERE WE WENT ... Did we know the Answer to this question? Well ... frankly, we didn't know. And... Did we care?? HELL NO!!! All that we cared about was to come up with an answer that would SOUND good enough and prevent any more questions. Coz we knew that it was a (I know I should mind my language) BULLSHIT Question that needed a good BULLSHIT Answer... I remember what I said (somewhat) during my interviews: In 5 years I see myself in an organization in a place where I am contributing to the organization's growth and learning as well as contributing to the learning process of others in the organizational structure. And I ...

The Betrayal

By
Sometimes ... it feels ... Life's a movie playin' reel by reel... Sometimes ... it feels ... Life's a dream ... it is so surreal ... But now I know ... Life's a Burden I can't get off my Back ... Oh how to show ... I m afflicted, chained on this Rack... You said ... that  I am ... Safe within your arms,  Always ... Then why ... do  I feel ... There's a thorn within my heart;  I'm Betrayed.
