Sunday mornings are always the boring kind. You have a whole week ahead. You could freak out with your friends. You could just do the “cleaning shelf” work that has been due for, say since the time you were in school! You could search this long lost document of “great importance” that was last seen during the mughal era. Or...... you could prepare for a presentation that is due the next day, that is to say, the Monday morning!
Aha... now that’s the most important part and that’s exactly where the procrastination starts! How is so much time lost so easily?!? I mean it looks so amazing that 24 hours (okay let’s forget the 10 hours in the morning and the one hour in the night that goes off in the most blissful thing in this universe, sleeping) is gone in one pooh, just like that, like the snap of your finger! Before you get up from your bed, the morning is over and before you think of lunch it’s past lunch time! Being alone in the home, the next hour goes in cooking and lunch is over. By the time you realise that the day has progressed considerably, it’s evening and you have just a few hours to prepare for your talk. After a lot of hasty rushing, you prepare a few slides and “take a break” (no smiling here). The F.R.I.E.N.D.S. series in your DVD is too irresistible and the “break” is extended, out of proportion, obviously. Dinner time is thoroughly enjoyable with “kofee with Anu” and “Neeya Naana” (each program lasts for about an hour). Finally when the time comes to “get back to work”, you remember that you haven’t checked mail since morning! What an offense, what a sin! Gmail stares at you with Inbox(1). The only new mail is regarding “a so and so”, who has sent you request to join “a so and so social networking”. Just when you are about to sign off, you see your overseas buddy online and send a “hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii” and that is that! The climax does not have any surprises. The usual one – another Sunday wasted. With this as the base, here I start a whole new scientific model on “four easy ways to go ruined”:
1. Watch F.R.I.E.N.D.S. series when you have a whole lot of work ahead
2. Watch koffee with Anu and Neeya Naana when you evidently have other better jobs to do
3. Prepare your lunch at home, when the option of buying food from hotel is very much open
4. Meet your buddy online and start chatting
Here you go! Your Sunday is gone. There is nothing amazing in it, it’s all so simple! J
