You write in your blog about missing summer holidays and having to work on all days (I mean weekdays), at a time when you don’t really have much work to do in office. Now what happens! You get more work and you have to stay back late and work on a Friday evening! The more you complain, the more things become bad, isn’t it?
For the first time in my life, I am not having summer vacation! Am missing it so badly 🙁 Having had a holiday yesterday, I am missing it even more! The next holiday on a weekday is only on August 15th! 🙁
You are sitting in your cubicle and are not aware of what’s happening outside. When you step out for lunch, you see that the sky is covered with clouds. Enjoying the cool breeze blowing, you walk to the food court slowly, have your lunch and then, come outside only to realize that the weather has become even more pleasant! It slowly starts drizzling too and a few drops of rain fall on you! And you say Life is wonderful not only there, but here too! 🙂
Just when you are happily enjoying the wonderful life, you are forced to attend a session inside a closed air-conditioned room filled with the smell of cigarette smoke! 🙁 How you wish the smokers had visited the smoking zone after the session! 🙁 Now, you wonder whether life is cruel or wonderful!
One moment you feel as though your life just can’t get better and you are enjoying every bit of it. The very next moment something that you never ever expected would happen, happens and you feel as though your whole life has got shattered. You try to accept it as a fact of life and try your best to move on. But, is it that easy? Life indeed, is a mystery. You never know what happens when and why it happens. And the worst part is when you have to accept things and carry on with your life as usual….
No this post is not about any apartment. Anjali Apartments is the name of a show that comes in Hello FM everyday which features conversations between the Manager of Anjali Apartments, Madhavan, and others living in the apartment. If I am not mistaken, the dialogues in this show should supposedly make the listeners laugh! But, I seriously wonder who will laugh after hearing those dialogues! Sample this (not the exact words of course):
Some kid: Uncle, enga veetla yaarukkum enna pidikkala
Manager: Yaen appadi solra?
Some kid: Ennoda periya akkakku rendu thangai, ennoda innoru akkakku oru thangai aana enakku mattum thangaye illa!
Oh My God! You should realise how I must have felt after hearing it! That was the last time I listened to that program. It was a week back or so. Why can’t they come up with better content!
Who searched for ‘ar rahman is not welcome in tamilnadu’ in Google? I am asking this only because I am curious to know what made someone search for this. But, look the search results for this in Google. The top two results are Prabhu’s post for Chennai Metblogs and my posts on Rahman. So, I guess this would have made whoever searched for this, know that A.R.Rahman is indeed most welcome in Tamil Nadu. 🙂
Your friend tells you that some of the unseen scenes from ‘Guru’ are going to be telecast on CNN IBN at 11.30 pm. In spite of feeling sleepy, you excitedly wait in front of the TV trying hard not to close your eyes. At around 11.25 pm, you get a blank screen on TV with an error message ‘No Signal Found’! 🙁 The set top box receives the signal only at around 11.35 and you get to see only a couple of scenes.
I don’t know what other scenes I missed. I hate SCV and my cable operator! Whenever I eagerly wait to watch a program on TV, this happens. 🙁 Can’t help saying Murphy Rules (After all, Murphy’s Law is the one law that I completely believe in) at moments like this!
Seeing an ambulance waiting at a traffic signal with its siren blaring is something that pains my heart. How I wish something was done about it! Why can’t the vehicles coming from the opposite side stop and give way for the ambulance? (I know it is easier said than done) Is it a must to follow the signal when a person’s life is at stake? Can’t the police do anything about it? I remember waiting at the signal at the Mount Road-Venkatanarayana Road junction once when an ambulance, inside which was sitting a lady crying with a baby in her arms, was waiting for the signal to turn green for some 10 minutes! Agreed it was peak hour and the traffic was heavy. But, couldn’t something have been done about it? Yesterday too I saw an ambulance waiting for some 5 minutes at a signal. It is at moments like these that I feel so damn helpless!
Two quotes that I liked:
Doing nothing is very hard to do…. You never know when you’re finished! – Leslie Nielson
(From ‘Know your English’ in yesterday’s edition of ‘The Hindu’)
There is no pleasure in having nothing to do;
The fun is in having lots to do and not doing it!
(Got this as a forward. Many of you might have got it)
– Being a person who keeps procrastinating things, I totally agree with it 😛
