Next Blog

Is my relationship status on Orkut correct in being single even when I am heavily committed to my work? Well, I am more than committed to my work. I have a fully occupying, demanding, ugly relationship with my right now. How I ended up there is the story of an year. So, it all started with.... kidding! Not even I would go to the lengths of narrating that.

I have never worked hard in my life. I consciously avoid working hard. Hard work, me, no. I like keeping it that way - simple and monosyllable. But of late, my work has become harder and harder and I am putting in more and more effort by the day. I just hate doing that. I believe in working smarter, not burning the midnight-weekend-national-holiday-and-what-not oil to get things done. I literally don't have time to waste. I find it so devastating. I always, as a rule, keep most of my time aside so that I can waste it. I never learned anything special like I have mentioned before so that I have time in which I don't do anything. I still believe in this, as in believe in making you go to my older blogs. No social life and nothing close to semblance of physical work (you don't start now).

I had about 7 things to write about for sometime time now. But they are about a month old and stale. One was about Radio Indigo celebrating Doctor's Day and someone in my office acknowledging System Administrator's Day. I mean, I was in splits when I heard that - enough to come up with my own list of days to be celebrated and the significance of each day. Most of it I have forgotten, though, sadly. Another one I remember was about drinking and driving - literally. I have seen at least thrice now people drinking beer while driving and not knowing what the fuck it is they are doing on the road. Its insane how stupid people can get. The infamous Vinay from my blogs left to do his masters last week. So, there had been a bunch of things to write about that I wont be writing about. I think.

On a totally unrelated note, I , after talking to someone interesting - because of who (not that the who even knew I was getting into the bus because of, umm, you know who) I got down from a bus 2 kilometers away from my house on a sunny Sunday morning with a lot of luggage at a random place from where I had to hitch a ride from Vinay to finally get home - I will write more about the whole incident if I am allowed to, remembered that I wanted to be a scientist like every kid ever. I even went to the extent of starting an organization to practice organized Science. I started it with him and a couple of others. I was a geek when I was growing up.

Its pretty late at work now and I have to be at 2 other places right now. So, I think I will stop now. In case you were wondering, this blog was just to remember the good old days - when I could sit at office and blog (waste time)!

Wait till you become a lead bro, then you will really understand what working is!! I do, of course, mean that you will be able to have enough time to look at people who actually work, and people who think they work, and people who watch other people working or thinking that they are working .... I think you get the drift :)
