Starters for Weekend...!

Whats up….

Been a long time now that I think of blogging… but never really got the chance to… not that I lack the stuff but work and studies simply prevent the execution of the whole damn thing..!

To introduce myself is not much to write …. Matter fact its just one line… ‘m a struggling analyst…’ :D

Quite often I come up wid weirdest of the topics to talk upon as most of my colleagues and friends would agree….! None da less.. to start I would just share an old expression I wrote in June 09 for a friend in NY… I was searching for a job then and was waiting for some responses from place I had been interviewed at… hope you like this too… don’t know how much you would connect to this.. but you’ll surely read this once…! ;D

Well how does one spend an ideal weekend..??

Of all the conclusions that I could gather from my friends lying here n there, there seems to be a mixed reaction. Some sneak out for a long cruise or some for a movie, some catch up with a book or two, some help their dads at their shop, some simply plan a small get-together while still some simply hold onto their beds until the bed needs a bed to rest…..

Can we say this has been an ideal weekend for me….???

Well the week's been quite a busy one… a one I am not accustomed to nor quite in the awe of it being so…. What Have I Done..>!! Well slept, slept, slept, n slept…. That’s quite tiresome n u gotta believe me, nevertheless that’s what your profile is wen you’re designated as Lazy Executive at Stay Home Enterprises.

Its June already but all we hear from the weather department is that the rains are not even on their way yet, forget them reaching here on time… now that’s quite disappointing for any human being who’s had a tuff time under the scorching sun in Mumbai (I dont know how people sitting in NY claim that they miss the summers in Mumbai… I would suggest they better miss it for the rest of their life…)… to add to the grievance, we deal in Umbrellas…! I don’t needa describe the pain ne further….. (now the umbrella market has a trade settlement day that is 30 June, n so since the rains have been delayed to no ends, the market has slashed its raw material prices n there’s quite a cash crunch amongst theimporters.. blah blah blah…but that’s the trade n I wont get much into it….) But come Saturday n we have a half an hour of rains in the wee hours of the morning… well the Principle of Favorability surely works but much to the chargin of the tradesmen, it rained in the WEE HOURS OF THE MORNING….

However, as the Saturday was an extension of the same week where I been sleepy all throughout, out n out, beyond ne doubt, like a stout … I was sleepin the said Saturday morning n missed all the action that the rain gods indulged in…. Now the slumber carried on even after I woke up n had had a good breakfast (perhaps that adds to the laziness) … I tried completing the HDFC B/S that I had sworn to myself that I would complete before the weekend began… but a jobless brain is the Kumbhakaran’s brother n so I was fast asleep on the B/S…

Now this is considered to be uncouth n unacceptable that a young lad like me snores to glory while a hardworking dad like mine is in the office…. So there we are, shaken up to reality… up there goes gravity…. Abuses received in charity… mind in ample clarity that I needa work man…! Now the thing was that the bank was about to close n a cheque had to be deposited to keep the W/Cap Mgt intact… but to my failure the bank had already closed for the day with the shutters rolled... this brought along with it a diatribe that almost killed me… but we’re of the buffalos skin n unaffected by small drops of rain….

Nevertheless the day was spent in the shop. Uncles in the trade did persuade me to get into the business but I said No, No Chattri for me please…[8)].. Come night n I was back with my PC networking within the circuit that I have on these sites that help enhance ones social acquaintances. But it should look like it’s a weekend, n that’s not complete without a movie…. So there we are at 11:30 forcing a studious brother out of his books to join me for the screening of Kung Fu Panda…. Wat a movie man….! I just love it…!

The next morning I was suppose to go for a walk. But me is me…. Sleep comes first this week… but then again there were showers of insults and this I am not gonna share with you lest you go logophobic of your mother tongue…

However the Sunday began well with doodh chivda (that’s cornflakes with milk) n I was enthusiastic of not wasting this one…. So I got onto my PC n started looking out for a book or two out of the long impending list of books I had planned to read since Jan `09. Called up a few friends to help me but they were sleepin too (birds of a feather flock together)… so after an hour or so I get a call again “Haan yaar tune call kiya that.. abbey main soh raha that yaar, bol kya kaam tha….” Me: “Arey I was looking out for Alchemist if you had, or gimme that site address you said has all the good books free, wat was that”
“abbey Alchemist toh mere pass se le lena, abhi mail kar deta hun, the rest you can go to this site called *******, just register over there for free n jo karna hai kar…>”

I strongly believe that there’s no charge for awesomeness or attractiveness, so I kinda download all the good things for free rather that spending my hard earned Vitamin M on the same….SO there we are with a copy of The Alchemist in the mail box and The Secret downloaded from *******…

I decided to pick up The Alchemist. It was brilliant. The day was spent glued to it without even a nap in the afternoon. As I am a huge fan of Eminem, I did hear a song or two of his in between, but I managed to complete 70 pages out of the 116 pages purple prose. You see this week has been stupendously sleepy so when I compare myself to Eminem now I feel he’s such a Rap Star n I a Nap Star… but that’s over for today. In the evening I met three of my school friends who have been my best chumps. One of them is an automobile engineer, the other a ranker all throughout n now completin his Phd in Chemical Enginneerin from Massachutes Institute of Technology (matter fact he is the only Asian in his Batch of 8 selected across the world, bloody brains), the other a Civil engineer from IIT-Delhi n now into analytics in ICICI Pru, you know me….

So the day ended peacefully. Quite an exciting Sunday as it was. And now coming back if I have had an ideal weekend, lets c.. we’ve had a nap (quite a nap), we’ve caught up with friends, with been to the shop, we’ve read the book (3/4th though, but I would take the credit for this okay…!), okay wat remains is the long cruise, but that’s okay man, in india 50% is passing….so I guess I qualify….! Yippee… ! We’ve had an ideal Weekend…! (thank god I saved my grace from having to claim it to be an idle weekend)

Anyways… hope you’ve have a good week…
Keep in touch n keep expressing…!
