Golden days in Allahabad- Part I- The prelude

Great response to my earlier posts has prompted me to write something about our days in Allahabad.

To be honest, I thought I would forget Allahabad very easily and I was really happy to leave it. Far from it, I can still remember each and every day from my first year at Naini and its as fresh as a daisy in early morning and as clear as the beautiful sky in a cloudless night.

All the anguish and sufferings are gone now. I just remember them as memories of our golden days. Man.. I still can't believe that we have completed one year of our corporate life. And what's even more astonishing is that I can still say 'yaar ..mujhe kuch nahi aata aur maine kuch nahi seekha'.

Let me first describe my current life and I bet I can complete it in just 2 lines. But, let me try to stretch it a bit to make it sound a bit eventful. And I can alos say 90% of you miserable creatures would be as miserable as I am.

Early morning(for me early is 10 am) I wake up...xxxxx no, I don't wake up. Let me start this again.
Early morning (9am) my alarm ring on my mobile. Very religously I put it on snooze. It rings again after 10mins and again in a periodic fashion I keep on switching it to snooze mode. Then after few tries my mobile says 'go to hell..you asshole.. MC BC..I will not ring again'. Anyhow, I wake up at 10am, spend 30 mins with my laptop without stressing my muscles and still covered with my blanket. Then the thought hits me that I am employed and have to go to office. So, I finish my daily chores and waste a lot of time in between by reading news paper. The strange thing is that I could read 1 week old newspaper and still wont notice it unless I check the date on it . I get the sane 4 things on my news paper each day a)swine flu b)make kannada manadatory medium of teaching c)metro work delayed d)Indian faces racial abuse abroad .

Anyway, somehow I manage to leave my house by 11:30 and then reach office at 12,read my mails ,respond to some and as time flies by its lunch time, I have my lunch by 2 and back to work and then by 5 again snacks time and then after half hour return to work. Again some work, some googling, some browsing of news sites and its 8:30 , leave for home, have my dinner, talk on phone , again watch some videos on youtube and its 2 and its time to sleep.

Now something about weekends...on friday night I sometimes go for a movie(rest of you assholes must be boozing). Saturday morning .. there's no morning. I wake up at 1 pm. eat lunch..sleep..wake up..have dinner..sleep..it's sunday..again wake up..have lunch..sleep..have dinner..sleep.

That's pathetic and lame. Even reading it is pathetic. I don't want to write about my cool college days along with this story of my current pathetic life.

Read Golden days in Allahabad- Part II. I promise it wont be boring as this one :)
