Post-vacation depression!

-

I'm bored like a poodle, I know that is as meaningless as it can sound but I'm so bored out of my brains, I cannot even seem to construct a decent sentence. I'm actually nodding with sleep in office while I think of something interesting to do (obviously apart from work). But the only thing interesting to me at this point is plain old CRIBBING and WHINING!

The super awesome trips to Goa and Chakrata have just concluded and I'm down in the dumps. I hate certain situations in my life with much more fervour than I did, I find my work more mind-numbingly bore than I did, I'm weighing at least a few kilos more than I did, I'm looking several inches more plump than I did. In short, life after vacation is much more dull than it was before.

If you want to envision me now, I have my eyes glued to my impending visit home, May 18 on the calendar. Thank God two weeks' worth of leave worked out.

But, I'm so bored now, even the calendar and the associating happy thoughts keep tuning out of focus.
You know what, once in my former office I finished all my work early because I had a date. Unfortunately though, it was raining cats and dogs so I had to linger on. I didn't want to boot up the PC again, nor did I have any focus to read an MS. Yes, I like rain but I did not want to wade through Daryaganj in it. The result was pointless pictures of my workspace.

                                       



See, how banal! How totally ridiculous and pointless, and how bored you've got to be to turn up with something like this (my later deliberations told me that it is true of this post as well.)

You can't even begin to imagine how much whining calms your frayed and frustrated nerves and lets you go along with life as usual. Try it and I assure you its going to be one immense help, drop in the choicest abuses and while you're at it, invent some. Okay, I'm rambling now!

Turns out, I don't want to work, but I know I just have to. There is an immense pressure of deadline in office and I can't seem to keep my eyes open to do that, the result is a splitting headache and a totally incoherent woman, which is me right now. You know what, I'll just shut up.

My love of jotting down lines

If you know me, you know that I devour books. I will not just read but become that typical book lover of the memes — the one who becomes one with the universe of the plot. I feel bad/glad for the characters and mirror the general mood of the title I'm reading.  Oh, the jokes that have been cracked because of this. Cousins, friends, husband — none have spared me. I, on the other hand, have remained blissfully incorrigible.  Since the intensity level is off the charts, so are the sudden moments of pure appreciation. Whenever I read something I absolutely identify with in that state of mind, I write it down in the nearest available space, read - offhand places. So that many diaries, journals, and notebooks carried these bits of literary inspirations. The best part is stumbling upon them on a random day.  Oh, the joy of reading a beautiful thought or a loved quote. It's like experiencing the pleasure of reading a good book all over again. 'Pointless, needless suffering and p...

The year that was 2013

It was, by all means, an eventful year, lots of things in my bucket list were ticked and lots of things were added. I loved every bit of it, even the worse times because they were followed by some of the most awesome things. There were new trips, new friends, new books, new beginnings and a lot of new me that came about. Here's a small glimpse of the year that I'll see off in a couple of hours... 1. January: The new year was at its boozy, smoky best, and add to that both our birthday celebrations and it was a good start to the year. Early morning birthday cake surprise from S 2. February: Ha... I finally started dieting and stuck to it. It was salads and sprouts all the way, plus a mushy, cozy celebration of completing seven years together. Toasting to seven years together. 3. March: A stellar vacation with friends and S. Goa happened and fun followed. Sunset at Agonda beach, Goa  4. April: Another long-awaited road trip came to pass. Chakrata was a beauti...

Quirk of timing!

This totally intriguing thing happened late last night while we were returning home.  The roads were clear and empty almost. I was humming along to some nice Kishore Kumar songs playing on the radio and inhaling that peculiar autumn smell in the air. Everything was gradually entering a trance-like mode when suddenly my husband jarred my senses.  He was trying to make me see something ahead of him. As both his hands were on the wheel, the whole pointing action was done by his eyes and monosyllabic utterances containing the single word, ' Dekho !' .  I naturally looked ahead—at the road. Confused, I looked back at him, 'What?' 'Look, look at my speedometre!' he said. 'Very responsible citizen, you are sir. You're doing 30kmph!' 'Miss. Intel-i-giant, look at the metre which clocks the miles covered." I made a face at him. 'That is called an odometre...' but my sarcastic reply hung in the air when I saw it. The odometre showed a perfec...
