Freshly unemployed update

I am Jobless. I have an exam in May but I cannot get enough of my bed. My laziness has touched an all time high and the soaring temperatures aren't helping much ( Its just March, Sun..take rest..cool off for a while. you'll have to burn so much more in May).

At times idleness sets in and gives laziness some complex, competition you see. An offspring of idleness, is screwing everything which is going just about fine. I have a PhD in screwing up things, Dr. Divya, PhD in screwing and re screwing already screwed screws (pure talent).

In brief, this is what I do/did:

I always have an idea of how things should go and when it doesn't, I do my best to make it go the way I it want to. So, when something wasn't going my way I tried messing things up. Thus, screwing people and hurting them. The worse part was, this time the magnitude of hurt was BIG. And I am shameful for the highly stupefied no brainier act that I did.

Consequences: lots of tears, innumerable 'sorry' messages, making up and making a promise ( I know its serious this time, so I dare not break it or else I am DEAD). 

Result:  I'm forgiven for the brainless blunder. *Wide Gratitude Grin* .    

Lesson: Let time take its course. Everything has a time and running against it would only add up to the already messed mess . So, let things be and go with the flow. And do not hold on to things. Live the moment and make it a memory, not a way of living.

I'm also hoping to get into my dream college, in spite of all the laziness, idleness and screwing up. Now, that's what you call dreaming ( only ) with eyes wide open.

Okay, I'm studying from today.

Apart from that I am eating a lot and piling on some baby fat ( Its just been 7629 days since I was born ).

So, after having such eventful freshly unemployed days, its time to pack bags and move. Not holiday. Its business ( read: desperate attempts to 'study') this time.

Random stuff, I got a new phone. Finally, an ANDROID. And I'm loving it.

     

Namma Chennai...it is!

My first out station audit came after I put down my papers. And, It was Chennai. They had their reasons in place for sending me there. Still, it was Chennai.

OK, Chennai was never one of my favourite places. To start with, I had quite a few unpleasant experiences over the years. I was never a frequent visitor but then I dint complain. Chennai never felt home.

Perceptions Change. Yes, three days stay in Chennai changed my view about it ( little more than partially ).
The best thing about the city is its traffic. The most well organised I have seen in a long time. Atleast, when you compare it to the ruthless traffic of Hyderabad, Chennai seems heavenly. The food ( Read: Saravana Bhavan ) is freaking awesome.


The breeze at the beach is soothing. It takes you to a different world. And of course no language barrier just adds to the fun.

There is more to Chennai, I know. But, I am the queen of laziness.

I could only go to the beaches as I chose to stay abode on Sunday because it was HOT outside.

The work was pretty chilled out. Again, No language barrier helped.

I did learn something about me , never have pre-conceived notions about anything. Often, I tend to take on somebody else's thought and form my opinion/notions based on it. That only lead to a narrowed life. What I realised is, the more you are open, the more you enjoy. Its simple, go with the flow and form opinions based on what you see and not what you hear/ made to hear.   

NOW,

To whoever started Saravana Bhavan,

Please open a branch in Hyderabad. your bank balance would double up. If it doesn't, You can anyways cover up for your losses considering the number of successful branches you have across the world. Give it a thought. Hyderabadis are foodies.

 So, Namma* Chennai it is. ! ( My Dad is Super Happy about the development) :D

* Translates into Our Chennai.

All Play No Love

Just when you start thinking,  life's Awesome... BANG! It says Not Yet!

Its been a fairly exhaustive and fun in parts month.

Exhaustive only work wise. :P

Yes, Its been a month since I blogged. All of last month went in coming to terms with some facts which shook me up. I’m still trying to understand somethings that is going above my head ( literal translation of ‘ sir ke upar se jaa raha hai ). Hoping for things to ease out.

I know February is the month of love. But, my life certainly is devoid of that particular form of love ( from a recipients point of view ). So, when everybody was talking about valentines day and how their beau ( grr!) surprised them with unexpected gifts, I was practising the art of ignorance.

The first chunk of the month went in practising ignorance and planning for a surprise.

Putting together things for a surprise is like getting dressed for a party. After everything is set you realise, this was nothing close to what you imagined it to be. And you cant do much about it, because its time already. All you can do is put a cute smile on your face and say surprise. Of course the mushy mushy lines included. And then the person is all floored and flattered. End of the story. ( Read: the first para again. )

What matters is if the person has got the feeling right. If no, HARD LUCK! But then, miracles happen they say. So, wait. Somebody ( might be the same person ;) ) , someday might sweep you off your feet as well. And there's nothing wrong in expecting a little kindness and care from people. Its what you ought to get. Now, to all those who say expectation kills. Its not expectation that kills, its how much and what you expect that kills. Somethings are requirements for sustainability of any relationship, terming them as expectations is cowardness.    

The good part of the month was the off site trip to vizag. It was fun in true, unadulterated definition. And my team was declared the winner in the activities conducted. Ah! felt awesome. ( Yes, I live life in all these small victories). It was a grand farewell, INDEED.

The games played in the train, running between 3 compartments, talking all through the night, checking into Novotel and being in awe with the sea view from the room, winning activities/ games with as much enthusiasm as a school kid, fighting for points, dancing like crazy, singing like professionals in karaoke and living each moment.

Now, that's exactly how an extended weekend and paid holiday should be like.

The month was actually good. It did help me in understand somethings and of course complicate some stuffs as well. But, over all it made me smile ( the cute one).

Realisation: 1.5 months down...15 days to go. :)

Count down Begins.!
