Guess I have been procrastinating a lot. But then putting of things for a later date has become a way of life, I guess. I do have so many things to yap about, though.
-- Like I want to talk about the awfully-gone-wrong End semester exams, where I'd expected one thing and what appeared in the paper was another.
-- Like my 1 week stay at home, where each day I'd had to brave things that I'd get to hear, hidden away safely from me all through a semester so that it doesnt affect my stay at IIT.
-- Like I want to talk about my addiction to sitcoms especially Seinfeld as well as Two and a Half men. Like I want to write a post on the awesome and frighteningly witty one-liners in 2.5 men. Sample this -- "Love isn't blind. It's retarded!!!" :P
-- Like my developing cold feet to travel for my summer internship from my hometown to Bangalore on a unconfirmed AC 2 tier ticket.
-- Like my hodgy podgy trip the next day , this time, on a half confirmed ;), yes you heard it right, half confirmed, sleeper class ticket.
-- Like my waiting for my brother to pick me up at the Bangalore station and he awaiting a call from me announcing my arrival, thus resulting in my being stranded on the platform for atleast an hour or so.
-- Like my workplace here at TATA ELXSI, the energy sapping workplace, busy and reticent people all around my workstation, the workaholics adjacent my cabin, demanding superiors and an altogether different lifestyle that I've accustomed myself to.
-- Like the 20 minute drive from office to the bus stop and the 30 minute walk from the bus stop to my brother's place. Crazy!!! Ain't it???
-- Like the excruciatingly difficult "loner" times I have to spend in the evenings - immersing myself in novels, waiting for my brother to get back home so that we can have dinner together.
-- Like the interesting design project I have been assigned with - to design a kitchen cabinet with an easily accessible bottom rack, so that you wouldn't need to bend down and hurt your hips. (My mudhead is awaiting some sudden spark. But I must confess it hasn't been in working mode for the past 3 years. So you guys could help me through this. Any ideas welcome here :D)
-- Like my spending the first week trying to bypass proxies to access google and yahoo mail and sports sites that are blocked in office. (Successfully managed that in the end!!! Yippeeee :B)
-- Like I want to talk about how much I loved the first half of the movie 'Life in a METRO'. WOW !!! Sizzling, Scandalous and Unabashed Concoction of Extra Marital Affairs. Enough material to ponder over how westernized we have become and hopefully questioning whether we have crossed the line or not.
-- Like how I felt very bad for "Gogol" of "The Namesake", especially in the concluding pages. Something made my heart heavy, sorrow engulfing both the auricles and ventricles -- Feeling bad for his having to be emotionally and physically torn between two continents, for having had 4 failed relations, for not really understanding who he is and what he is meant to be.
-- Like walking around malls, window shopping with nothing in mind - gazing at Swarovski, drooling over Tag Hueur and desiring that slim piece of IPod Nano.
-- Like I want to comment about the artificial Bangalore life, the dullness that hangs in the air and the confused looks on the faces of many. One thing Bangalore has managed to do to me is feel insecure about not having a girlfriend. :P Guess that feel surfaces in anyone when in a crowd of 100 there are 40 couples at the very least!!!
So much to talk about. So little time. If I don't get back to work now, I'd be lagging behind on my schedule. Got a presentation to make this Thursday -- my first deliverable here. So back I go to work. Ciao............
P.S : Yooooo :D My first post from OFFICE!!! Deserves a celebration and a Pat!!!
