Slacker Blogger

"I bargained with Life for a penny,
And Life would pay no more,
However I begged at evening
When I counted my scanty store;

For Life is a just employer,
He gives you what you ask,
But once you have set the wages,
Why, you must bear the task.

I worked for a menial's hire,
Only to learn, dismayed,
That any wage I had asked of Life,
Life would have paid."

I love the last line in there......any wage i had asked of life ...life would have paid. I often find myself here and complaining of life...my work, my lack of work, my privacy, my friends, the traffic, the food....everything!! You get what u throw at life....if its complaints, life creates more and more reasons for u to complain.......U get what u sow!!!

I had nothing special to write in a long time, no personal memorable incidents, no excitement, nothing... seemed as though life had come to a standstill or rather had come to be a monotony...... Damn, this corporate world... The only happy moments left in the day was the 1 hr i got with mann every night......... and then I realised that there was nothing but me stopping myself from believin that the life is a memorable journey, full of excitement....I just have to change my outlook. I just have to throw things which'll make me happy at life and i'll get more happiness....!!

Ok...enough of gyaan....abhi abt me...the weekend was a rather non vegy weekend....Well yeah u read it right...non vegy... (Not that non vegy ....I am one of you guys... i know u think alike....!!!) The real non vegy...As in the food....yeah...If u are a regular reader here u would know that i am the happiest talking abt only 2 things....food being one of them and the other everyone knows...(*blushes*). Ok so the non vegy weekend...I had non veg for lunch and dinner on saturday and sunday....and believe u me...I was done by the sunday dinner...I could not eat a piece...can u beat that ...Me and not eating chicken!! Hmmm...I guess excess of anything does that to u....doesn't it???

I went to my mamu's place this saturday...I got caught for the first time for jumping a red light...well I did not jump the light....I just crossed it when it was yellow...and i was nice enough to stop the car when everyone else was crossing over inspite of the police wala askin them to stop!!! I am a nice guy u see....so I did stop the car when i could have driven straight on...So this fatty guard type person (with his tummy hanging out as though its gonna fall of any second or better still as though he was 18 months pregnant) walks up to me and asks for my papers and my license. By now I have strted to "congratulate" myself for stopping!! Ok...so i give the papers and walk up to the real cop...(who is sitting on a chair and has the buttons of his shirt opened as though he were sitting on a beach in goa)....who calmly tells me that he'll have to cut a challan unless i "think" abt it....Now it doesn't take a genius to decipher what I had to think abt....So i told him to read the name on the registration...(my dads name...hehehe ..he is in the army)....he did that and gave me a sheepish grin and asked me to go....Here's some food for thought......Assuming that the light changes every 2 mins.....and he has a duty of 8 hrs. And each time he catches someone he ends up earning atleast 200 bucks! Almost an opportunity of earning a cool 6000 bucks an hr...and in 8 hrs....48000 bucks!!! thats 48000 bucks for actually doing nuthing and catching hold of guys who innocently cross when the light is yellow....How unfair is that!!!!

Yes so that's the round up...the very unattractive slacker blogger status is creeping up on me and it really doesn't feel good....Do u see me rusting too??? hmm...maybe i should blog more....nahi?? (psst: Dont tell me if u think i have rusted;)......hehehehe)

Till latersss.....Now is not for ever:) :) :)
