A Grim Bout Of BOREDOM..

After a long long hibernation of five months, It takes an immense pleasure to write up a new blog entry!! Phew! That reminded me of the innumerable college seminars and lectures and I am nostalgic already. A lot has happened in these five months. Obama got re elected as US President, US fiscal cliff,  RBI rate cuts, Union Budget rolled out.. and in the low profile mango people category, close people got married around me. All these things had kept me pretty busy and not to forget my lappie had decided not to start for a week which was the darkest phase of my uneventful life.
So coming to the present, in my previous blog I had portrayed myself as a die hard Sunday lover but I have been spending too much time at home {hostel} to love holidays anymore. My college life is over and the great job hunt is on. Everyday has the same routine.. without a rhythm. I can get up n sleep whenever I want to, I can watch sitcoms for hours and hours, travel anywhere in Mumbai and satiate my desire to taste the best food options in the city. This would be the life to die for! But then anything that you call as a routine bores me. When I knew I don't have time, it was a thrill to watch Sherlock series in the middle of final semester ending. But now the idea doesn't excite anymore! And these are the words coming from a person who cried like she has lost a pet dog when her laptop crashed! No.. I am still crazy for my DELL.. but.. yes it is like a filmy dialogue.. I love u.. but...
When you have work to do, you crave for leisure and when you have ample amount of time you go on hunting for work. This is a classic case of how human beings like me can never understand the meaning of being satisfied with what you have in hand. Maybe this is the desire that would propel me to go further in life. It is a soothing school of philosophy to believe in! They say every stage has a charm of its own. When I will be running behind meeting the deadlines I will sorely miss this doing nothing status but as of now I am bored!! Even my peers feel the same way so you have a bunch of cribbing souls to share your so called frustration! You end up having a life changing discussions over a cup of tea at the local shak, or spend hours and hours on whatsapp deciding whom to blame luck, college or yourself! It is funny, when you are sad, your quality of giving sermons and cool advices to others elevates to a higher level. You share the universal umbrella of companionship under the grim clouds of unemployment, rejection and you start bonding with people you never knew existed in your two year full time Post graduation degree course!! So in a way it is good learning that you get to know people around you, know who is the genuine and who's the fake and all the stuff that goes with "duniyadaari" at this point.
But a sincere confession, my write up title is definitely apt with my current life scenario. This blog was created when I had a supposedly hectic life and compared to that now its a "zameen aasam difference per se".  I had lectures, presentations, exams, need to read the marketing magazines, interview preparations.. I was fed up back then with that stagnancy, the degree has risen beyond measure now. It makes me realize something is definitely wrong with me or else simple reason can be the day to day life is too boring for a dynamic personality like me!!! I wonder what it is...

The Garfield in me..

I have always wondered what inspired Jim Davis to create "Garfield", the icon of ultimate laziness, die hard glutton and a Monday hater. The way I spend Sundays these days, I sometimes feel his source of divine guidance would be people like me. My Sundays usually begin at around 12 pm with an immediate hunt for lunch options (Being a hostel dweller I don't get the royalty of Ghar ka Khana) which usually get zeroed down on Dominos, Mc D or local Paratha shop, since I am too sleepy to cook anything. Thanks to these corporate giants feeding calories to millions of people worldwide I can gobble down my food within 30 minutes of ordering. One task accomplished I the move to another onerous task, regarding the selection of  which movie or sitcom series to watch on my laptop. It won’t be an exaggeration saying I am committed to my lappie. Not that it’s a Mac book or something, just a simple normal black colored Dell with i3 processor. Yet it is my savior, my entertainer, my way-out to vent emotions and my escape from boredom. That's what relationships do on a general level from what I have heard and learned from non-single people around me. Anyway coming to Sunday routine, after watching  a movie or two, evenings are spent with roommates going out on Bandra Bandstand or Marine drive. The topics tend to follow a pattern like discussing the pro and cons of being single, laughing out at couples and the best of all cribbing about the college next day. It is the best feeling to relax, look at the sea, but then it does has a quality to make you philosophical. I am an expert in that department. And then its suddenly 10pm ..Voila! Sunday over! Oh.. I have painted a picture of the world's most lazy person.. But hey I am a Post Graduate student! My week is filled with presentations, seminars, exams and the most tiring of all long lectures. Apart from it I have to worry about the rising inflation, slowing economy and what effect they would have on my P's.. Placement and Package. Not to mention what to have for dinner, whether to cook or order! In simple words it’s a fight between my laze and desire to eat good homemade food. I do take pride in announcing mostly my desire wins!!
I definitely deserve a Sunday break! At times this gets mighty boring for a person like me who came and returned home only after every door was closed (Those are my mother's lines) but then every change is welcome as long as it doesn't affect negatively. I mean apart from lazing around I am doing no harm to anybody. Long live Garfield!!
