One week of absolutely nothing...

Russell peters in one of his shows talks about how men can stare at a blank wall for fifteen minutes and think about nothing... absolutely nothing. Well i have been staring at my monitor for the past one week ,sometimes even at the ' good for nothing green hill wallpaper' which comes as default with windows . Why the sudden change in the ' ever busy -never tired useless mind of mine ?? here's why

I had read my monthly horoscope by Susan miller in some website and it said that until Jan 15 th my sun sign was under a bad phase and on the night of 15 th it all would take a turn for the best . I was pumped... wait .. Being the pessimist that i am , I wanted to crosscheck with last December's horoscope to make sure . Turns out i should have got two jobs and a new girlfriend according to Susan miller in December . So all the excitement vanished in a matter of seconds . Again back to normal. Wait for company. Clear written. Get all excited. Prepare whole night. Wear different formals for every interview (superstition never goes away ) . Go do well ( or so i thought ). Get rejected . Smoke two fags. Watch some serial. Wait for next company .

As luck ,fate,destiny,karma whatever, would have it I got placed on the night of 15 th at 3 am (Love you Susan ,hope your romance prediction comes true too ).Hcl Infosystems , marketing profile , Hyderabad . I didn't get the news till 7 in the morning . Then started my one week of absolute nothingness . I don't think even someone suffering from a grave disease would need this much sleep as I get now. Get up at 8 in the morning , go have breakfast , Come watch Gary unmarried till 10 am when the power goes off , continue my sleep till 12 . Lie in the bed with windows open looking at the fog outside (sometimes the girl on the balcony too ) . Go have lunch at 12.30. Carry on with the serial . You get the point, right??

The ever awaited mail from placements 2010@gmail.com doesn't matter anymore . The dreaded teacher who was most likely to give me a back , can shove it up his lips . The juniors seem like little kids in nursery .The college seems a much better place. Allahabad is suddenly not a 'village' anymore.Stupid movies seem great. You start considering going to the bathroom an exercise. There is this irresistible urge to eat chicken. You have already burnt the timetable sheet .You start looking at train schedules on when to run back home for a quick vacation. Looking at the girls of your batch , your mind which raced in the first year on how to get her contact number now starts thinking " haha , they'l be married in a year or two , suckers ".

This is a very common one liner " marriage is like a public toilet , people outside can't wait to get in and people inside can't wait to get out " . Getting placed is exactly the same . You feel the sooner you get placed , the better it is for you . After my one week of nothingness , I am not too sure about that theory . Two of my closest friends , one back home and one in college ( no points for guessing :P) are yet to come into this phase of absolute nothingness . This one is for you people . Come soon and join the club . All izz wellll .
