Mid-Week crisis....

Its another gloomy wednesday afternoon at work, I call it the post-lunch session........Its the most boring part of the week....n all u want to do is sleeeeep....
This is exactly what happens when you havent started the week very great, n u know that the days to come aren't gonna be any more eventful.........
Frankly Getting into a job changes it all........your mannerism, your attitude, your responsiblitly, your habits.......may be not intentionally, but unknowingly, your sub-conscious mind starts behaving in ways you would normally never have dreamt of....

Just a small example of how the standard conversation goes between two very good friends who you once spent 10 hours in a day during college days .....


friend 1 : Hey pal, how are you?

friend 2 : I'm fine man.....what about you?....long time....

friend 1 : yeah....i know.....I'm doing great.....howz work?( The cliche dialogue of all the IT professionals )

friend 2 : (After a short pause.....indication that hez gonna lie)....yeah, work's fine, a bit hectic sometimes ( which is the biggest lie of the mellinium, cause all he does all day is chat with some stranger across the globe whom he hasnt even seen)...

friend 1 : Oh...ic, work's pretty hectic for me too (trying to justify that he's not to be blamed for not keeping in touch)

friend 2 : Oh...ok ....well take care man....i need to rush to a meeting now.....(usually a lie, a quick getaway statement)

friend 1 : ya ...sure carry on....keep in touch...(with a smile)

friend 2 : you too man...(with the same dumb-not again smile)

This is what Work has sadly done to us all......

Its a funny feeling, cause all through our school n college life, we want to grow big and have our own money, our own freedom and do things or way.......but once we r here, we wanna desperately go back to our good ol' college days and live the same carefree life, where all of us surely had less money but had more happiness to give to the people around us.....unlike recent times, where we have so much money but very little happiness to keep ourselves going.......let alone the people around us......

I call this the Mid-week crisis cause such thoughts usually creep up ur head during these odd hours of the Week.......n you just helplessly laugh at yourself n the work that you're doing....
