Doing Nothing is very hard to do…U never know when u r finished!!!

It all started as usual morning..opened my eyes to see the time…
fish($#&@) it’s 8am and I have to catch the bus at 8:30am…late as usual…
the last one to get up in the morning…feels like kicking my roomie’s ass…y the hell can’t he wake me up in the morning??…
Without saying a word to anyone I brushed my teeth and did a quick polishing only to remember I have to iron the clothes…rushed the iron through my clothes and I see my roomies leaving for the bus…bang varu, u are late again…
Ran to the bus stand to catch the bus and I see everybody waiting…and I was relieved to see that I didn’t miss my bus…It wasn’t a bad start afterall..

So starts my day:

8:40am: my bus arrives, I take the last seat and again time for some nap..
Pune traffic!!!-- cannot reach before 9:20am to office…and when it comes to sleeping I don’t miss a chance…how much I love doing it…u bet I am best in this job…
9:20am: I reached office as usual. Or was it only 9:10?? Unusually usual!!!
Booted my computer, Tried to open my igoogle home page to read my horoscope, (that’s the first thing I do)…but the server was down. Damn..
Okay forget it…
Next thing… I thought of checking my mails…. but fish (#$%^)!!!??!!
my account just wouldn’t open…
so here, I was helpless, sitting in front of the computer unable to do anything…
Was it for this that I got up early today (8 am is early by Indian standard times!!) and rushed to office…???

Raised some requisitions (zzzz yawn zz) and went up to cafeteria for breakfast…
came back to see no progress in the situation…
made a few calls to the help desk and finally my account was unlocked and then the flow of mails started… (peace…!!)
but darling!! The server which could help me serve my clients was still on hibernation. I was still not able to do anywork….

Some said time to celebrate…
and I nodded…
but soon I realized I had work to complete…. (duh –uh)
and without the server I was helpless…
work will be pending… but dekh lenge yaar…
so I joined in the bakar sessions…
read some e-paper...
Took extra breaks than usual… (just 5 more than the usual 5)
mailed and e-mailed and sent mails…(luckily this worked!!!)
and then what??…
I was getting bored doing nothing…and what struck me was my desktop background
It said, “Doing nothing is very hard to do…you never know when you are finished”
I thought- how true!!…
(Ting tong) -Time to write some crap…
so came into life this post about ‘doing nothing’…
So the big question is ‘for how long can one sit and do nothing….?’
I know the answer!! (:D)
I wonder how do people, who sit on bench for months doing nothing, survive…
I mean, I would have gone crazy!!!….
But I guess it’s all about increasing productivity even when you have nothing to do…
Look!! 1 and ½ years in IT and I speak IT…
What next????
Ummm….timelog!!!
TIMELOG: Date: 15 sept’08
Total hours: 8 Hours
Description: ???????
(shhhhhhhh… can’t mention it!!.. You know what I did today, guys!!:P)

PS: The server should take rest sometime too. My blog was idle for almost two months!!

For you, Sweethearts!!!

Gone are the days of campus masti…gone are the days of fun,excitement and adventure…gone are the days when one use to bunk classes to sleep…to sit in the canteen for hours and chat with frenz…gone are the days of long hours on phone calls…gone are the days of sitting in the green lawns of college in the evening…gone are the days of flirting(I mean it still goes on but the element of college days is missing)…gone are the days when we had crushes…gone are the days of promises and vows…but what remains is memories …memories of moments spent together…moments of friendship…moments of craziness…moments of doing things to what your heart said YES and mind a big NO…memories and moments that will never die…

here is one such crazy moment that I captured and want to bring life to it by putting up on my blog…it’s a poem that “ We” wrote together sitting in the canteen of our college…. Table no:2 Staff section…date:17 april ‘07

It was funny and completely crazy…I don’t know what went on with us when we thought of writing a poem and we actually wrote one… its really funny..but it brings smilesssssssss on my face whenever I read it…it takes me back to the days of our friendship…we took a xerox of it to maintain a copy … I hope now u can read it and have a good laugh ma “mysterious beautiful gal”.

Mysterious beautiful gal…hmmm yes she is mysterious…hmm u can say she is beautiful:)…atleast that’s what she wants to be called “mysterious beautiful gal”…so here it is a dedication to u ma “mysterious beautiful gal “and to all other beautiful crushes of mine:)

Here it goes:

Once I went to the canteen….

Shampooed my hair with pantene…(I neva used pantene in my life though it just to bring the rhyme u see canteen…pantene)

I brought slice and mountain dew…

To impress a girl who was very cute…

But all she said was you…you ..you…

I took her cell phone number..

And she told me her boyfriend was a plumber…

And that he was a big time bummer…

I promised her to to be her knight in shinning armour…

She promised to be my valentine…

And that made me feel divine…

I brought her a coat of fur …

And we lived happily ever after….
