Random Thoughts

please forgive me if you dont find my posts in the order in which events have happened. I am writing today in the order in which I am recalling events, and there may not be any apparent logical order.

So finally i got a job. after 21 years of hard work, giving 500+ examinations which included two of the toughest ones in India, burning many mid - night lamps (and sleeping halfway through most of them), enduring both praise and sarcasm (the latter much more than the former), finally i have ended my academic life on a good note. i will do Ph.D. a few years later, but for the forseeable future i do plan to get myself busy in the corporate world. I will be shifting to london a few months later. if things dont go bad, i really don't have any plans to come back to india. i might go to singapore (because they charge only 15% tax when compared to 40% in london), but that is the closest i want to get to india.

but coming back to the point, i really find these days very strange. I am the type of guy who feels good about keeping busy all day long, and i really find it very strange when i have absolutely nothing to do. and absolutely nothing means absolutely nothing. today i got up in the morning at 10, had breakfast, checked mails, and went to sleep once again since i had absolutely nothing to do.

apparently there are others also who are suffering from the same problem. i went to the mess in the morning. there i met my friend who was cribbing that even after getting a job he was too busy to find any time for himself. after probing furthur, he told me about his schedule - taking breakfast, watching movie, seeing off his friend, watching movie once again, sleeping after lunch, and playing corridor cricket in the evening. busy guy !!!
