So long since I blogged. I have this urge to blog right now after going through endless days of warcraft and friends and sarabhai and IPL. For the record, now is 12:49 on Saturday, May 24, 2008. I have been going through a lot of online newspapers, orkut profiles and blogs and reading a few of them (and most of those few were my own) has inspired me to grace my blog with a new post.
As of this moment, I am sitting in my pg with only the fan working on invertor coz there is no electricity and I hope it comes back before my laptop conks off. Every day morning, afternoon, evening and night (basically whenever I am not doing any of the things mentioned in the first line) I get started on all philosophical questions about life – like where am I headed and what am I doing in life and am I wasting my life by doing…(again all those things in the first line).
All my life I have felt like this. Be it 12th or engineering of mba or now summer training, I have always found myself with more time than I want. It might seem to be the exact opposite of how most people on earth feel, but I have never been short of time in my life. One reason that springs to mind is that maybe it is because there are so few things that I want to do that there is more than enough time for me to do everything and still be left over with the entire day. But that thought is dismissed as soon as it enters coz I don’t think that is true. I set very high standards for myself professionally (well professionally so far has only been academically but even for my summers this is true)and give it everything to achieve them, which again I do(anyone who thinks I am bragging here would do well to remember that this is a soul searching post so bear with some honest thoughts). However that does not mean there are no hobbies or social life. In fact I pursue my hobbies with great energy, be it reading or playing.
So why do I find myself bored and out of things to do. Of course one reason that I do know is true is that I am also too lazy to do stuff. So lazy in fact that even though I am terribly hungry right now, having woken up at 10 and not eaten anything since, eating entails 1]brushing my teeth and 2]going out 200 meters away to get some food. Both of which I don’t feel like doing so hungry it will be till it can be so no longer.
Anyways as is the case with all my questions, all answers escape me and no matter how much I tell people to help me out, nobody ever does. Probably coz I am the only person who reads my blogs. Hoping corporate life with some real responsibilities will be different. And by different, I don’t mean regular like a 9 to 5 job or something. Coz now no marketing job is a 9 to 5. But that is getting into different territory and I shall not venture there now.
Moving on to something else – the IPL – now here’s something which has taken me by surprise. When it began, I thought I would just follow it out of a loving for cricket and support Mumbai Indians only coz it has to appear that you support some team (not everyone wud agree but ultimately it is true). However over the course of time and thanks to the above mentioned abundance of free time, I have found myself following it a lot more closely and actually being a loyal supporter of Mumbai Indians. And let me tell you one thing…it is great fun to actually support a team and feel its losses as ur own. Coz I can say for sure that I wud not have enjoyed the thrilling match between Mumbai and Punjab as much as I did had it just been for the sake of cricket. So my advice to whoever is reading this (hahahahahaha) and has actually gotten till here (great going) is – find a team to support and watch as life gets fun.
Anyways enough of blogging coz the electricity of course is not back, the invertor is in danger of running out, which will mean no fan either (maybe that’s what will make me get up and grab some food) and my laptop battery is almost drained. So signing off till inspiration hits again.
Bye
