Virtual Spaces and Reality!!!

"With you around me(in virtual space, yeah) life was so much easy, so much fun, so much to look forward to.
Now that you are no more near(in soul perhaps) I miss you, I miss the very thought of you."

P.S : Wow!!! There it goes, off my chest!!!
Never thought I'd ever express it, let alone feel that way. Life can get so filmy, duh.

TGIF!!! Naah

"Friday", he prophesized, "Friday my friend, You realise how the whole universe is conspiring against you -- hatching the most devilish plot against you".

"How is that?", I queried.

"Hmm.... Here's what happens. Listen. You come to office on Friday anticipating the weekend ahead and you see loads of work dumped onto you. It is late in the evening when you see people trickling out but you know you are going to be in for a couple more hours at least. Your plans to go hit the pub scene are in a disarray. You see your ex flame online and can do nothing but feel bad the relation should've worked. The ones with whom you've made plans for the evening have dumped you to go ahead with them, albeit without you. And then at last, you somehow manage to shut the system off and move out. You trudge your way back home when you see enthusiastic couples vrooming past you on bikes, presumably to the disco. You manage to utter a 'ptch' and continue moving ahead. You realise you are left to yourself and have no company for supper and you also do not know where to go and hence decide to skip it. Further, it dawns on you that you have the weekend ahead and you have 'absolutely' nothing to do. In that moment of solitude and helplessness, you begin to realise how F**ked up you are and what a pathetic state you are in. And then it hits you and it seeps in....... "

Today I think I am a little close to knowing how he felt....

The Image Search for Answer Tag

The concept:

* For the 20 questions that have been asked, write down your honest answer (in a word or two).
* Type your answers, one by one, on an exactly-as-written-on-paper basis, in the search bar of any image search engine that you prefer (Flickr / Google Image Search etc.).
* You MUST use the same search engine for all 20 answers.
* For every answer, only from the FIRST page of the search result, save exactly ONE image.
* Once you have a list of 20 images, each corresponding to one answer, compose a post in line with this post that you are reading right now.

Proximity -- It's in the mind!!!

"Though we were miles apart, we used to be very close. Now that we live in the same city, we feel so far off."

Damn it!!! The Irony of Life!!!

P.S: Ever felt that way???

Crush.... Crushes???

"Why do I fall in love with every girl who shows me the least bit of attention?"

Kudos to Charlie Khaufman & Michael Gondry for coming up with ESOTSM and, in particular, this piquant yet piercing quote.

Spooky......

Completely took me by surprise, Though I must admit I do not entirely agree with what it is trying to convey.......

P.S : 'Twas a long time back.

Job Life

--Job Life gives you (almost) zero time to blog.
--Mornings on the job are most productive. After lunch, drowsiness takes over. (The sumptuous free lunch at office is to blame.)
--Flexi Timings are a boon. Sleep till 9:30 am and reach the office at 10:30.am. You are still in 30 mins before your boss. ;)
--Lunch at 1:30 pm daily. Now look at the previous two statements and decide for yourself.
--Job Life isn't totally disconnected from College life.
a) The college lingo stays. You get to hear 'seriously', 'obviously', 'actually' and the ilk very very frequently.
b) People still need just the slightest excuse to demand (and take) treats and parties.
c) Sex Ratio is as skewed as it is at IIT's.
--Job Motto : Work Hard, Party Harder.
--You cannot chat that frequently with friends. But you itch to do so.
--Job gives you a reason to talk to just people you want to. If you don't feel like, you can always tell them you are busy.
--Company's laptop has a zillion apps running on it at the same time - Secure Vaults, Backup Softies, Encryptors... What not!!! Damn irritating....
--The worst part about it are the Hazaar passwords.
--Listening to songs on the job is a great way to relax.
a) Your boss will think twice before he disturbs you.
b) You get to make people believe you are actually seriously working.
--It's hard to make friends in your team. It's everybody for him/herself.
--You ought to smile/laugh for some dumb (Dumb as Dumb can get) jokes. Must be careful not to hurt anybody's feelings. Mind you, It's real Hard.
--Etiquette, Decorum, Team Ethics..... Aaahhh!!! So many formalities. Well at least I get to dress up informal.
--8.5 (8 + .5 for lunch) hours of Office daily. 8 hours of Sleep. That's my Weekday.
--5 days of office. 2 days of Rest/Lazing around at home. Week goes by pretty fast. Weekend moves even faster. Life's picked up a great deal of pace, it feels. It's quite nice working and earning and being self sufficient.
--Am I satisfied??? For now, YES. But I got to study further and the plans need to be made and executed. Wish me Luck........
