Saturdays...

By
Another weekend!! With nothing much to do, thought would as well populate my blog. Sounds crazy? Trust me...it's not! It's a much awaited break from the daily routine. I was chatting with an old friend of mine yesterday after a long time...and after all the regular updates ( at times I feel catching up with old friends [read acquintance] is more like the Windows updates, they slow down your system, but still...you need to do it at regular intervals!), he was like...wow!! so you have a job that you love!


Huh!! Passionate about job!! I forgot the last time I was passionate about it! Oh yes!! I remember...in last December, when my manager was on a two weeks leave! I enjoyed working then...it's like you have no one to report to, you feel something should be up there in the Website, and you have it right there. But she is back again, and the worst part is...she has to consult her reporting head for every decision she takes. Man!! If she is so confused that she can't decide, then why is she here?


Ok...enough of complaining! Will come back to my weekend! And I promised myself I won't bring in my office here! So, in spite of knowing that I have to write a blog for my Website, where I have to say this product is awesome...blah blah blah...I am here writing absolute nonsense. But nonsense does make some sense at times....


Coming back to blog...it was last night's conversation that made me turn through the pages of my old diary. And then...the whole night, I was into it. Slept at 4 in the morning, and woke up only when my mom called me to ask what am I having for lunch. Moms naa...they will always make you eat even when they are not around! So I woke up...did what I end up doing every weekend...called home delivery and arranged for lunch...and then again...I was into my own world. Reading stuffs...when a friend pinged me just like that! My first thought was...oh no! not now...lemme read! But then, we started discussing movies and songs and African drums and what not...and time just flew.


I just realized I spent a great Saturday after a long time...doing what I love doing...and so to sign the day off, decided to write all these crazy stuffs...
Anyway, it's almost twelve!! Good night and good bye!! (my mom knows that I sleep by 11, so got to do some honor of my words). BBye!

Names unnamed!

Months back (or is it years now?) I wrote somewhere, “Naming certain relationships complicate life. So don’t!” From then on, and even before that, I believed in it. And now when I look back, I see more unnamed relationships than named. Not that I can’t give them a name, but I choose not to. Of course, to look at it, all of us have the convenient blanket term ‘friend’ to name it. But somewhere deep down inside, I do know that ‘friend’ does not state it all. Who do I call a friend? Someone who I have been interacting with regularly, share my thoughts and emotions with, or just go out shopping when I have nothing better to do. Or just some random people I say “What’s up dude? Have been thinking of you/ missing you…”? That reminds me…ever thought how “miss you too” is different from “miss you”? It is…trust me! How about missing a habit? As simple as the habit of talking to someone/ about something for hours! Do you miss the person or the habit if it’s curtailed one fine day? Or is it

Irons and Ironies...

A lazy Saturday…with an unexplainable feeling of “donno what’s wrong”…or perhaps I do! Making me wonder, is sudden ‘the number you are trying to call is switched off’ enough to let my mind wander and wonder the whole night? Enough to wake up late with a bad migraine! And wanting to fast forward to Monday…so that I can find myself busy working. They say an idle brain is a devil’s workshop, and the devil that I am, my idle brain almost attains the level of being a perfectionist devil when it gets a chance. With some old songs playing over and over again , a chord suddenly stuck my mind. Attachment phobia! Was discussing the same with someone a few days back, advising rather. Only to end up with the realization I do not practice what I preach. Strange as it may seem, I don’t even miss the city I grew up in as much as I should. Miss those people in the city. NO! At times it feels good to think that I miss, but I don’t. I keep finding reasons to miss, make myself believe that I do, b

the Questions…

By
Did anyone ever tell me that I would miss my home awfully much? Did anyone ever teach me what to do when on a certain evening the city-I-grew-up-in would whisper deafeningly my name? Have I done so much, grown up so much…that returning to where I come from scares me? Am I aware that I am away for so long …that family is a planned appointment? Was I aware that I am such a different person at work that I no longer remember what I wanted to be at 6? Was I aware that the song that my mom would sing to me when I was a kid is not on my iPod? Have I ever imagined that I can spend an entire afternoon alone? Have I ever imagined that I would wait for rain-walk…and can laugh for no reason at all? Have I ever noticed before when watching the rains that the coconut fronds dance? When was the last time I learnt the best lesson of my life? Was it when dad taught me ‘confusing tense’ at the bus stop? Or was it when ma told me not to talk to strange men before I left the house? W
