Rejuvenation and all
Rejuvenation - I did not even know how to spell it about a couple of months ago. I had to send about 6-7 emails with that word in it and hence finally got around to write it with the right spelling the first time around.
I am getting rejuvenated, at least that is what my company wants me to do. They want everyone who completes 4 years in the organization to do so. So, they give 4 weeks paid vacation. You have to take it all in one go. This is apart from the usual annual leaves, public holidays, RH, carry overs etc.
This is my third week into rejuvenation and finally, I got the time to sit and write something! Its quite amazing how any free time gets hogged up. Its like vacuum waiting to be filled. I wanted to travel a lot in these holidays. So far I have not went out of Bangalore yet. I am very annoyed that it is the case, but then, as I grow up, I end up having responsibilities that I should not walk away from.
There used to be a time when I was proud of my free time. I used to loudly proclaim, "I am free. I have nothing to do right now. I am planning to do nothing for the rest of the day, hell, week." and deliver on what I proclaimed. Gone are those days. I am now one of those people I never thought I was capable of being - hardworking!
However, these past couple of weeks, I have managed to steal sometime to do simple things like go to a few old libraries, checkout a couple of parks, figure out how to operate my camera and write some small stories. I have managed to stay away from writing code for almost 10 days now. I have caught up with friends old and new. I have spent time with my family and especially with my niece.
All in all, it has been a very good time so far, hectic, but good. Now, all I need is sometime to be a slob that I was and sit and do nothing for a week. I am hoping to get that done next week. Agumbe, Mangalore or Hyderabad it is going to be. Lets see.
