Life At Its Very Best
Sitting here in front of my PC at 11.10 P.M on a Sunday night, listening to 'Orey Chorri' from Lagaan, after a soulful phone conversation, theres quite a few thoughts going on in my mind. Just about the perfect mood and setting to drop in a few lines.
Its been a pretty relaxing weekend. Spent most of Saturday playing one sport after the other making myself and the folks around me tired with my persistence to practise. But then it was good, had a really sound sleep yesterday (only about 13 hours!!!) and woke up for a Sunday that would be spent entirely indoors. Its been close to a year now since I spent a weekend entirely at home. Have always been going around the town with all these friends I have, eating out and basically having a good time. So one of those rare days when I was at home thinking of the year so far, what lies ahead and stuff. I dont do this often, but then if and when I get into this contemplative streak, it gets pretty tough to shake me out of it.
For the moment though am not going to delve into those details, will make no sense for the reader as I will be totally cryptic in my statements. But then the day was spent typically watching a couple of really boring Tamil movies on KTV. At the end of the movie you kind of feel, 'I should have done something better'. Was just too lazy to go have a shower, but then I could'nt tolerate my own stink, so I had to go for it in the evening. Came out of the shower all fresh and energetic, so it had me thinking about a walk. But then I realized how sweaty an experience it could turn out to be, so decided I would stick indoors. The hall and the TV was soon getting very boring and monotonous, I had surfed as much as I could, even tuned desperately on the lookout for any new channels. But then disappointment as usual. So had to retreat to my badly maintained room, with the computer screaming for my attention, dust piled up all over it. But then cleaning that would be one hell of an ordeal that would leave me with a running nose for a week at least. Creepily ignored the computers wails and logged onto the net and checked out a few interesting stories on some of my fav sites - Cricinfo and Indian Express. There was one particular story on Indian Express that talked about Goa, its sizzling beaches and the recent lust for property in that place. That had me rock back in my chair and think of a holiday in Goa. After dreaming about it for 20 minutes(phew..what all I had thought of), came back into reality knowing clearly well that it was'nt gonna happen for some time. Any ways the longer the wait the more fulfilling it will be.
By now, it was time for dinner and the familiar calls of my mom 'Kalli vaa da seekram' resonated through the house. I knew it was time to get out of the room before I could test her patience. At the dinner table, we had some amusing discussions about some of the people around us. As usual, me and dad got into overdrive with our descriptions that bordered on the unparliamentary on most occasions. Luckily we had mom moderating those kinda situations, ensuring that our combined vocabulary did'nt go out of hand. Post dinner it was time to catch up with some mellifluous songs. And then this blog, and in between that chat on the phone....
As I was writing this, I was just asking myself, 'So what a productive day in the life of a 23 year old'..hehehe...well, the answer to that question is a simple 'Cut the Crap!!!!'. We folks need these kind of days where you would do nothing but just laze around. Most people that I know do'nt tend to do it and then keep cribbing that they hardly have any kind of free time. So for all those workaholics who dont spare even weekends, just follow the above model of 'A Perfect Day'. More often than not you will feel good about yourself at the end of the day. After all its life buddies, do unwind every now and then. Ok, time to crash now and get all dreamy, am already into it!!!! :-).
