Hey, I lost a week somewhere
So I was thinking about how wonderful it would be if life was but a Hollywood film and everyone had his heroine, all beautiful,smart, in a high-paying job, ready to risk everthing for the hero (who is you) and most importantly will end up with you whatever natural disaster, unnatural disaster, animal, monster, robot, Brad Pitt, through anything basically. Yes, that would be a good life. It would be...
%Reality check% In the form of a somewhat recognisable voice from behind your chair, for all the above reflection was done in the privacy and the comfort of my chair , listening to the host of songs that the Considerate One, Goda charitably sent to the Unfortunate Ones (Thota and me) after much persuation...
Mentor : Umm, can you write out a mail about what all you've done in the past two weeks.
Me: oh. ok. (pause) Can I mention I was installing software?
Mentor : (Slightly taken aback) Please dont. okay one line maybe.
Me: hmm. ok.
So then I realised, I have almost finished two weeks here. So I beg to ask the question "Where did I lose my second week??? "...
So I bent my back (quite literally; and I bent it back not forward. The chairs here are much suited to back bending and it really feels relaxing). So as I was saying before I was rudely interrupted by my chaotic thinking process, I bent my back and thought.What has been happening???
So here's what I realised:
Monday : Pretty much any normal sane "working" guy's monday. Adjusting to the quintessential blues. But the highlight of the day was the dinner treat by this dude Drew, really nice american chap and the food was really good, company was really good, yada yada yada blah blah. And I had a screwdriver to mark the occasion. Yes, and I did mark it on the calender. (Duh I didnt actually take a marker and a calender and mark it; mental note types)
Tuesday : So there happens to be a trilogy screening of Star Wars 3 - Revenge of the Sith. Totally worth the 100 odd Rs ticket one needs to watch the movie in the nearby PVR theatre. The movie and the theatre. Twas a blast. Needless to say I dont remember the exact work I accomplished on this day.
Wednesday : There's this system of Lunch and Learn every Wednesday when someone comes and talks about something and then all of us eat. Quite cridely put, but thats the truth. So, we had a nice informal talk about Trilogy and TU and many stories related to the two. Yummy burgers to end up the session. I think I looked through some database design or something after that, but its all very hazy...
Thursday:Ahhh, wait...rewind.
Wednesday(contd.) : Etwas 11:30. No power in HSR Layout guesthouse which houses football crazy yours truly. And noone, I say noone (this means you das; #$%^), misses a Champions League Finals. So I ,using my internationally renowned contacts, manged to find a suitable match viewing location with Thota. The auto ride there was quite uneventful. The match was one of the best ever( suspicions of fixing?) though Milan ended up losing to Liverpool after having a 3-0 lead. So its 3am in the morning ... oh...
Thursday: We're back. So its 3am and Rahul and I, OH. Rahul is the 9th intern. Brief intro: from IIT Roorkee. Ok back to Thursday 3 am. In the middle of nowhere. An eerie silence permeates the air while the drizzle but adds to the general creepiness of the situation. For want of any particularly interesting events (except for that one cat which was watching me rather wierdly), Ill just go on to say that we finally caught an auto at 3:15 and got back at 3:30, inevitably to a dark and currentless guesthouse. But I thank the Lord that I didnt miss that match.
So back to today. I actually realised I had done some work and continued the "good work". Also I read three more chapters of Of Human Bondage.
Oh Helmet how diligent you are.
Hmmm, does anybody not know about the party tomorrow :D? For another post...

what about this? what if you were to create a killer headline?
I mean, I don't want to tell you how to run your blog, but what if you added a post title that makes people desire more? I mean "Hey, I lost a week somewhere" is a little plain. You might look at Yahoo's home page and note how they create post headlines to grab viewers interested.
You might try adding a video or a related picture or two to get readers interested about everything've got to say. Just my opinion, it would bring your blog a little livelier.
