It has been months since I have created this account..that was way back in college when ...one fine day...when boredom was taking it's toll on me (as the name suggests..:))...but then that was it.I just created this but was too lazy to post anything in it...My part of mind bent on procrastinating won...and the ambitious side lost!!!
But now with all the determination I could gather, I have started yet again...
Life these days are pretty monotonous..it's the same sleep-eat-work vicious cycle 5 days a week. It seems so mechanical, pre-pragrammed or whatever you may choose to call..And its all fingers crossed till the weekends arrive.
Ever since I have joined work, weekends were something I was eagerly waiting for ( anybody working would be...for that matter). Not that there are lots of freaking out to be done during weekends. Frankly speaking a typical saturday or sunday would commence only by 11:00 in the morning. Finally after settling down there wont be much to call 'day'. But it's the realisation as you wake up from bed that " Thank goodness , no work today!!!" as different from the usual "Oh God Im late..yet another encounter with the manager". Whatever time you have at your dispoosal..you can afford to spend it at your own pace..no deadlines, no deliverables,no team lead breathing down on you. That's precisely what gives a good feeling to the mind.
As far as the activities for a typical weekend are concerned, there are not many.There's this perpetual bragging about how there was nothing to be done.
At home, there are the regular visitors(???) who show up at our place (read Siby and Shashi) and the weekly get-togethers which is always hosted at C-201, not to mention our 'sweet' neighbour aunty shouting for all the 'Gallata' the next morning. One occassional shopping trip to the Brigade, one movie and that Sunday afternoon Pizza Hut meals (always followed by a quarrel with the delivery guy about which medium Pizza has got 50% off)... Not to mention and the goal mazha directed at the usual goal posts sometimes interrupted big time by some 'major setback' for those who asketh for goals.
And that we call a weekend......
PS:The oxford dictionary definition for ennui : Listlessness and satisfaction arising from boredom.By now you guys would have probably figured out that!!!
