daily routine
hi guys i thought i would devote this post to my daily routine , which is soundily exceedingly boring and "vella" which is calcuttan colloquial for a person with nothing to do .
my day begins with people banging on my door to get up and get ready they are part of my car pool who come along with me to office ,thsi usually happens at about 7:45 to 8:00 . and i lazily get up by 8:00 - 8:15 . this also leaves me with no time to read the newspaper , whihc i absolutely love to read , though admittedly the economic times is a bit terse . hence i just get enought time about 5 mins to glance at the headlines after whihc it is usually bathing and getting dressed at breakneck speed .
breakfast is strictly optional only if time is available and has an accuracy of 50% ie if we are runnign late , have to skip it , nevertheless we leave by 8:45 and reach office by about 9:20 - 9:45 depending on the apalling road conditions of the IT city (pun intended) Bangalore.
once i reach office , i leisurely check mail and ponder what the real rush was , it was probably to swipe my card to get a decent time logged in . anyway i leisurely check my mail and write on my blog or post a few articles on this cool forum called www.pagalguy.com or just generally get some information about mba , or check whihc colleges i have been admitted to , (got into quite a few institutes , but that at another time). this goes on till about 11:15 , after which i am taught german in office , which is real good fun and good be classified as my high point of the day . learning Deutsch is extremely entertaining , primarily becuase the teacher rocks as we are in no hurry to complete , hence chugging along at our own pace with the primary objective being to entertain , that is what happens.
this is followed by lunch which more often than not tastes good and is in the DaimlerChrysler campus itself . we have lunch on the terrace where the cafetaria is located and it is quite pleasant if the weather is good . this is followed by a round of table tennis or ping pong as it might be known as in a few cultures , which usually goes on for another 30 - 45 mins . after which i return to my desk , to do some technical reading or make a presentation about some technology learnt , dont ask me when do i actually learn , i myself wouldnt know . i think the total amount of constructive work done in a day would never exceed 2 hours which would always between 2:00 - 5:30.
however at 5:00 we run up to the cafetaria again to have some tea and snacks and by the time we finish it is again 5:30 , and then i check some more mail or piss of some more people with my really bad forwards and do some more research on mba and the like (interpreted as while away time), only if really saddled will work do i work for another 30 mins to 1hr . convincing myself that i would return to the hostel and complete it. never happens.
On reaching the hostel i am usually convinced to play Age Of Enpires by a team of extremely "vella" people , and i never understand why i agree to it , cause i am not as good as them in the game and prefer to watch a movie instead , as i possess at least 25 unseen movies on my computer , even physical sports have been reduced and i hardly play squash anymore . so its usually 2- 3 games of AOE after which i might read an e book for an hour and sleep .
come to think my routnie sucks , i dont get much sleep dont do anything constructive , and we are what we do , hence i am nothing. whihc would mean i should snap back into a system as soon as possible , ending this frivolous lifestyle which is a huge waste of time .
