I’ve been sitting idle for a long time now.. It’s not a treat…its like sugar that has begun tasting sour…(Ok i guess that didn’t make sense but fine…my life currently also isn’t making any sense either). I remember the time I was in Chennai (OMG I can’t believe I have spent 2 years of my professional career in Chennai) I didn’t have the time to have my meals. I would skip my lunch many a times…tea breaks are out of question. With so much of work extracted out of me for the 3/4th of the year 2007, the last quarter has brought a never ending vacation for me…
During those 9 months(the first 3 quarters of 2007) I was so busy and occupied that I craved for a vacation. And you wont believe me I didn’t go home (as in Goa) for those 8 months.. At times I felt I had forgotten where I stay. Thought I should ask HR what was the address I had submitted when I joined the company.
There was a time I used to wonder if ze will ever be free and sit idle for even an hour. I envied my friends/room mates who enjoyed life and for whom office was a place to rejoice and party..yes party!!! And there on seat number 213 you would find ‘Me’, working hard day-in and day-out… coming home only to sleep in the night. I remember I had not spoken to my room mate for I guess a month or so. When I came home in the night, he would be sleeping and when i getup he would have left for office. hmm… thinking of it now and a big <sigh>…!!
This last quarter of 2007 has kept me so idle.. Its like something I had always wished for during the entire year.. initially I enjoyed being free as this was something I had thought the lines on my palm never would read; but not any longer, this is getting on my nerve. I am fed up of sitting idle. Nothing to do..boredom killing me!
The situation is so bad that a couple of nights ago I was sitting idle in my dreams.. can you beat that? Imagine you get a dream wherein you simply sitting idle … It a nightmare.>!! yeas it is..
I came to work last week (friday) like a walking zombie. I don’t even know how I managed to pass the day without work at my desktop. Worse still, my eyes were swollen like goldfish due to my contact lenses. Just got them off and went to sleep on my desk. At times I feel my college days were better; better than the work life.. but again you know.. I keep feeling many things… And I know these are momentary feelings and only time decides how long they are programmed to last
At the moment this one comes from the bottom of my heart!
Ye daulat bhii le lo, ye shoharat bhii le lo … <sniff-sniff>
Bhale chhiin lo mujhase merii javaanii
Magar mujhako lauTaa do bachapan kaa saavan
Vo college kii zhopdi, vo baarish kaa paanii …. <sniff-sniff> <sob-sob>
It’s 11 am only. A big question haunting me… “What do I do next?” Hmm.. I guess a coffee break.
Work life is an irony: When you have work you crave for free time. And when you are free you want work.. I wonder what is a solution to this.
PS:
