GET UP. GOT WORK!!

Another routine day.
Alarm hissed: It is 7.30. Wake up.
me: (hitting the alarm hard in the head.) shut up
i pulled the blanket closer and tucked in even more cozily.
the bliss of an early morning sleep :) no words can describe it.
I opened just one eye and checked the blurred image of the clock to verify if it had become too late. It was 8 already.
My biological clock was ticking and screaming inside: GET UP. GOT WORK

I walked lazily to the bathroom and switched on the heater. Then went into the kitchen and checked out what can be cooked fast for the day. The only thing that flashed in front of my eyes was noodles. Am no exception to the IT guys routine and culture. left the noodles cooking in 'sim' and went to have my bath. by the time i come out, it should be cooked. dressed and hogged directly from the stove. locked the doors and went running to catch the bus.

Bangalore traffic can get really hectic. it will take 25 minutes to travel by bus a distance that would otherwise take 20 mins by foot. Surprised? No i have not got the numbers wrong. That is Blr in short for you. The usual 201. Its generally over-crowded and one cant even breathe normal air without CO2. You dont need to hold onto any railings in the bus because it will be so packed that you will be secure standing where you are. You cant even move your hands. The bus was moving inch by inch. Generally the other buses will have better looking hunks than in your own bus. so i bent down and peeped outside. I happened to read the advertisement on one of the buses. it read: "Itch ***. Itches and irritation caused due to sweat will be relived".
What an ad? I turned. Did i read it right? I looked again and read carefully. "Sweat will be relived" and not "relieved". :D
What an ad :)

My office had come.
Test Execution. Installation. Configuration. team meeting. Client meeting. Test reports. status reports. Checklist almost completed. EOB(end of business day) :)
EOW(end of week) :D
Fri nite: Movie. Food at Popsies with friends. We laughed our hearts out. Late night chats. Ipod singing pop/rock/rap/hip-hop songs to keep our moods alive. Slept at 3.

Mentally i prepared myself for the weekend.
Sleep till hearts content. Watch every show and movie on tv. Cook sumptuous and delicious food. Shopping in fabindia. Water world. Fun world. ragi guda temple. Forum. FUN FUN and more FUN.
song choice becomes melodies on sunday night :)

Fall asleep out of compulsion. Dreams of Installation and Servers.
