Today was such a nice day. Yeah, it ‘was’. Let me put it this way - today could have been a wonderful day. I was expecting office to be called off because of the ‘Karnataka Bandh’.

I don’t know how, but the thought of an impending holiday makes me feel wonderful instantaneouly. For instance, when I came to know yesterday that there might be no hurrying to work today, I could, within no time, conjure up a million ‘to-do’ things. I could imagine myself finishing off all that pending work and feel happy and contended EOD. Unfortunately, since that never happened I am looking at the old adage ‘don’t count yer chickens before they hatch’ from a new perspective. No holiday and it’s back to the usual drill.

Speaking of the drills, I have made a few lifestyle changes. No, I haven’t married some Padma Lakshmi or something…I’ve just reworked my office timing to suit my dislike for traffic snarls.* I now leave home at 7.30 am and ride like the wind all the way to work. I pack up by 4.30 - 5.00 pm and it is land ahoy!

I don’t have much to blog about today because I am still recuperating from the thought of having lost a much needed holiday.

Here is something ineresting meanwhile. Feeling like a miserable failure? You should be feeling glad soon!

Peace

* (If you are thinking what Padma Lakshmi has to do with changing lifestyles, I’d say that it sometimes easier to joke about things we don’t understand too well, rather than always trying to find answers. And what have I not understood? Take a look at yesterday’s post..).
