Scattered Thoughts 4

I just received a scary image attachment from a colleague of mine. I did see it before, though. But it gave me another wake up call. Here it is:

.

If the image didn't show up for some reason, here's a brief--a person was discovered dead, 5 days after his death. He was the first to enter the office, and the last to leave, and nobody noticed that he wasn't moving for 5 whole days. He had a heart attack.

Well, I don't think that's going to happen to me. I don't work that much, I arrive a bit late (nowadays), and I am almost always playing something in winamp. Well, I could have a heart attack while playing the song, and the 3000 something songs will keep on playing for 5 days :S err...getting scary again.

3000 songs, with 4 minutes of average playtime, accounts for approximately straight 8.33 days of music!

Okay that was yesterday's rant up there. Instead of being topic centric, let me just write one of those "what I been up to" kind of entry.

The week was kinda expensive for me. I managed to sleep late almost everyday (1:30 AM at least), and the end result was me getting up late, and arriving at office via CNG/CAB at around 9:30-9:40. Well, the office starts from 8 AM, but nobody's there before 8:30. But as we have flexi-office hours, we are allowed to come late and leave later. Well, I'll have to leave late anyway! But that's not an excuse for being late. My bosses have been quite lenient with me this week, for unknown reasons.

Today I availed a local bus, after a long, long time. There was a time when I'd avail that vehicle every day. But as I just mentioned, nowadays I'm more off a CNG or a Cab availer.

I finished watching season 4 of Friends yesterday, and jumped to season 5. Hopefully by the next 2 months or so, I'll be done with watching the whole 10 seasons. I am really liking this. It's like a magnet. Last night, I watched friends up to 2:15 AM, and I think I'd watch a bit longer unless dad intervened. I simply lost track of time while I was watching. I felt an urge of going to bed at 1:30, but not a significant one. It totally sux being pestered by the parents at 2:15. I avoided arguments, and got to bed. My room was ajar, and dad came in without knocking. Now that's not okay at all. I'll never do that with my grown up children. I'll try knocking.

Is it only me, or everyone else? Well, most of the things that I thought to be "only me" turned out to be a common phenomenon for most boys and gals of my generation. That 79-81 bracket, again. Our parents raised us, and then they realized that they should give more privacy to children, and hence my sister can keep her room shut (despite of being 7 years yonger), and nobody bothers her. But each and every mortal human being, belonging to my joint-family shows their surprise/astonishment/anger/Alas!ness when they see my sliding doors closed.

Famous ironies:

• WWE is vulgar, but hindi movies aren't.
• Watching Friends is waste of time, but watching Jassi Jaissi Koi Nehin is enternainment(!)
• Watching TV is perfectly alright, but playing computer games isn't
• Talking on phone is okay, but msn conversations are suspicious

Head of department has left for abroad today, and things are quite quiet today. Hmm....I don't remember using the phrase "quite quiet"before. I just wrote it, but I know I'll have a tough time pronouncing it. It's kinda like saying "Baro hari rabri boro beshi barabari". No it ain't too tough if you can forget about the doye shunno ro and the boye shunno ro, but if you don't, hehe....go ahead and try.

Yesterday I wrote "Life Is A Mirror". Why did I say that? I'll be thinking about this.
