Wanting a break...

For the past couple of weeks, I have been thinking of taking a break just to break the monotony. Eversince January- when we had been to Phuket Singapore, we actuallly havent taken even a day off! Not that its a sin, but just that we havent made an effort. Sruthi has never complained she needs a break, nor have I thought of it. She is so damn busy. We were actually better off before the wedding, when we used to look forward to spending a whole weekend together. We are now more like visitors in our house. Sometimes, due to her delayed work, we dont even have dinner together. I really thought HR was a 'cool' work dept to be in a co., but I am sure she will hate it when I think aloud! :)

I just spoke to my friend now, and he said that I am missing the weather in Coimbatore and Palakkad. and you know what, a colleague of mine has just said the same thing! Now, when I started looking up the various sites to ascertain the truth in their statements, I am all excited to pack my bags (and hers' also- due to paucity of her time). Then comes the moment of asking your boss for a 2 day 'leave'. I have always noticed it with various bosses. How come they find this word so paranoid and think it non-existent in the English dictionary? and then, while you prepare excuses, and make the reason sound genuine and handsome, a pop up comes- "A Meeting Request". Thats life, is what you think, and now when I will stammer to ask for "leave", he is sure to ask me if I got the E mail. Man, common, even meetings can sound paranoid to me, but what the heck I also planned my vacation the same time you were sending out the meeting request!!!

Obviously I have to keep him happy, and I am promted to say: 'Oh Yes! I saw it. I am certainly looking forward to the meeting!!" only in the interest of my future leave santion for my cousins' wedding in Mumbai and Kerela, later in the year. So, here I am, I continue to enjoy Palakkad and Coimbatore weather thro' accuweather! :) See you soon!

Masakkali

Oops.. This write has noting to do with Delhi 6. As my wife is straining her knife to cut potatoes, the song is on MTV, and for want of a title.. Masakkali...

Wondering me and blogging and all?? Well, I guess thats again not by design. May day as it is today, I am not supposed to do work. So I thought- why not do something more productive rather than jus being a couch potato guffing on some cheese sandwiches and a glass of buttermilk. Its just for the love of my wife am forced to eat it, while the intent is always on to reduce some calorie intake!

It is so intriguing that when the week is on.. there is always a dearth of time, and when I have a long weekend, the longing for a long weekend has ceased to exist.. Human Psychy, I swear is criminal..! Coming back to this long weekend, I had these sudden plans to got over to Bangalore, and sometimes it was Pondy, and turned down by my beloved sharply, citing "Financial Reasosn". WTF.. We earn to spend was my agruement, while she had a vailid arguement saying "whats the point earning, when you are always spending". Resaonable, and quite a Wallet concious spouse I have, is what I thought till this morning when she springs up this morning saying her 'Summer Wardrobe' is not complete, and I should plan my day accordingly. I got the hints, but obviously perplexed on how her thinking could be so contradictory!

I have so many things to do: Cycling, Make an effort to reduce my tummy, Pay my dues to the Bank who asks me to be his debtor, re-order my dirty cupboard, play golf and catch up with some office work. Having so many things to do, I guess its just a problem of plenty, and am sure by the end of the day, I'll be able to fix some of them.. Ah, forgot to add: also watch the Kolkota 'Nightmares' take over the monsoon hit Punjab this evening. Thats provided my wife decides to put forth her plan to shop for sometime later.. Cheers!
