Double Dinner .... no way of getting thinner!!

This week has been one of those hectic weeks, where in you dont know what to do next. I have learnt one thing , "भगवन जभी भी देता है छप्पर पहाड़ के देता है". The reason why i say this is, for a long time (read almost 2 months), I have been feeling so lonely. I was stuck to a routine, the dreaded "OFFICE ROUTINE". On top of that, I dunno why but I used to feel as if everyone forgot that I exist. Every time I call someone, they would say they are busy and would promise to call me back (which later they always forgot). Everytime I would fix up a plan to meet, ppl would cancel at the last minute. Every other person whom I used to buzz in IM never used to reply, and many such things. This made me feel very frustrated. But lately, TOUCHWOOD!!, from last week to be exact, I have found, I have so many friends, who would like to spend time with me. It was I, who was ignoring them. It was I, who was not calling them up to ask how were they doing. It was I who was not replying to their IMs and silly Buzzes. And this made them feel, I was ignoring them. All this thought makes me wanna fill a glass of water and drown myself in it!!


So, as I was saying, this week was all about meeting old friends, roaming around, laughing, joking, eating, etc. One of my best friend, who was out of town for a long time, due to his work, had come for christmas and that was enough a reason to call everyone up and gather for merry making. To top that yesterday was another good friend's birthday, which meant it was all the more reason to celebrate. Sad part of it is, the friend who had come for christmas and the birthday friend were not in good terms and that means I had to celebrate with each one of them seperately. Oh yea, I almost forgot to mention, this friend who had come for christmas, also got a job at "Indian Coast Guard". So he wanted to celebrate. Anyways, this was very bad news for my stomach. I literally had to eat dinner twice. Once at the birthday, at one restaurant (where the food is amazing, Fine Dine, Nirmal Lifestyle to be exact) and after that with the friend who got the job at another restaurant (where the food was amazing again, Shera, LBS Road, Bhandup to be exact again).

Between all the torchering (my stomach), we had a great time. All remembered all kinds of silly things we used to do when we were together in college. All the pranks and all the "Keeda" we did. Ofcourse, we did some more that day, sticking to tradition. Taunting each other with girl's name (just like in college). It was nice fun.

I then had to drop each of them off to the respective destinations, since none of them were in a state of mind, wherein they could reach there by their own. After all the bye and hugs, I went back and called it a day (night rather!).

I really miss all those college days. The stuff we used to do, the pranks we used to play, the chicks we used to check out (we still do that :P) and what not!!

Long Time No See .... But now no worries ... I am BACK!!

Its been a very long time since I have updated my blog. Thank god it is not something physical, otherwise till now all kinds of spider webs and dust would have settled. Cleaning it all would have been a big pain.
Anyways, so I would be trying to post everyday in here, since reading my old posts have inspired me to write a lot. I am fascinated (read surprised) that I can write stuff so much in detail. Reading the older posts, I could literally remember those days!!

So I will start off with what I did this week.

This week, started off with me going to office in the morning and coming back home in the evening. This is the daily routine I have every Weekday. Some days after work I go visit the Gym (at my office itself) and workout for sometime. Although I am regularly irregular to the gym. This week had lots of holidays in it, so had to go to office only on the first 4 days of the week.
After which, there was a long Weekend (going till Monday, which was declared holiday on account of Mohharum). I still had to go to office on Saturday, but it was a half day, so it counted more like a holiday.

On Thursday, a very interesting thing happened in our office. There was this game called "Secret Santa" that was to be played. The rules of the game were simple, there is a pot containing a chit. This chit has a name. And whose so ever's name appear in the chit that u pick, you would have to gift a present that would be worth between Rs.100-200/-. As it sounds, a person's name can appear in the chit that I pick up. It was all random, something left to chance. But this wasn't case with me. My two office colleges, rigged the entire thing just for me. The made sure I got the name of a girl, so that they would have the opportunity, to "चिड़ा"fy me. Also they made sure that my name would appear in the chit that would be picked up by my Boss. So as rigged I got the name of a female, for whom now I had to buy a gift. So I went out shopping and got her a beautiful Glass Work (Show Piece) of a fish, which could be easily used as paper weight other than decorating the table. Later that evening everyone who participated assembled, and were asked to open their gifts. My boss was absent that day, so I expected not to receive anything. But then I was surprised to find a gift with my name on it. I opened the gift, and found a nice big cadbury chocolate, along with a piece of paper. This piece of paper was actually, an office memo announcing the things to be done by me, along with deadline. So my boss's idea was to gift me work for this Christmas. Although the concept was nice, but I didn't get it. I guess my boss thinks that I am under worked and hence decided to give me more work, to enjoy Christmas.
The very next day was Christmas and a holiday from the daily routine. I did what I do, in all the holidays. Slept till late in the afternoon. Had late lunch, Did some Internet Surfing and went down to chat with building friends. Later that evening, I had guests with whom I spent the entire evening.

The next day as I told you, was a Saturday and I had to go to office although for a short while. Went and came back at 5 in the evening and was greeted with a phone call from my best friend. He was coming back from Bhopal today and was giving a pleasant surprise to everyone. It would have been a surprise for me as well but he called me because, he had too much luggage with him, and hence needed someone to carry it for him!! ... साला कमीना So later that evening, I went to pick him up and dropped him at his house His mother was very very happy to see him back, and as expected gave him a big hug!!

The latter part of the week includes me Coming down my building's terrace using a rope (Rappelling), A Memorable Dinner, A Day of Laziness etc. All these things, i will update later on (hopefully tomorrow), Because right now its 2:40AM and I am feeling sleepy and to top it all off I got the daily routine to follow tomorrow (going to office etc.).

Till Then Adios!!

What is Boredom

What is Boredom??

It feels so funny,
When i feel bored,
I wish I could pay money,
To get rid of it.

I once read somewhere,
An Empty Mind is a Devil's Workshop,
I guess boredom is nothing but,
This very devil, setting up his shop.

My advice to you my friend,
Is to keep your mind occupied,
Don't let him know,
That you have a place for his Shop.

After all there are so many things in this world,
That need to be done,
If you look closely ,
One of them is having fun!!
