To-dos...

By
How weird can it get? When am bored to death (well almost) with nothing significant to do, a friend of mine suggested this series ‘Bored to Death’. No treat for guessing he too was getting almost bored to death, and came up with this supposedly ‘exciting’ series. And damn I, having listened to his ‘How I Met Your Mother’ advice before, am downloading this new series now!

Spent the whole weekend doing nothing. Well, almost nothing. I did cook; fed people who were too lazy to cook; planned to go out and then was too lazy; listened to my mom on how marriage can be a way out of the boredom (yes…you do get to fight and annoy one people, which keeps you busy); promised a friend to find an ‘interesting’ partner for him (oh wait! I promised two friends); did a lot of introspection and the end result, as always, was zero; slept, woke up, and then slept again; reminded myself that I have to call some friends whose calls I keep missing (thanks to the weird moody me) and am still reminding myself, making myself promise that tomorrow I will; and some such things.

The point is – I plan only not to execute. OK…I realize I am being super lazy. So, here goes another to-do list. Not that I promise I would do everything, but thought would as well have a handy to-do list for this month. Umm…just to feel bad about being lazy perhaps, so that I can be a little more active next month.

Trust me, I do plan to

  • Cut down on FB-ing, it’s a time killer.
  • Bring my weird untamed mind back to work.
  • Work at office (for at least 4 hours).
  • Watch one movie daily, without fail.
  • Call one people I HAVE to daily, anyone from relatives to friends, before they tag me unsocial.
  • Sleep early; and early means by 1 AM and not 4 in the morning.
  • Cut down on hour long calls. Now I realize where I spend my waking hours.
  • Being more introspective and sort things out.
  • Be a little more disciplined.

Wish me luck; I need loads of it to get out of this super-lazy mode soon.

Names unnamed!

By

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
