midnight speculations....

I am sure all of you have a zillion things to ponder over and do on a sunday....I do too, except for the moment!!! The general thought process is initated by opening the diary and listing..."...i need to clean the house...need to pick up a few items from the store...need to print a few pages of my report....wash clothes etc etc..." Half the day would have passed in listing and then you find yourself sitting in an arm chair switching channels. Why does that happen? Because you have just 'planned' your 'sunday'....
Just when you have completed a list of jobs which are going to take more than a few hours of a sunday which can otherwise be spent by engaging in lethargic activities; the brain nerves force the eyes to scan the list one more item to prioritize...Round 2 of analysis begins! "...i could do this first since its nearer....department is too far off...i have run out of quarters for the washing machine and dryer....will have to spend a lot of 'Joules' in cleaning the house..." The activity that takes the least energy lands on top of the list. Inevitably, that is watching your favorite TV show (you have made sure that the time has passed peacefully in introspection until the show time) and the list stays on the table where you had have left it a week back. 'planning' is applicable to everyother day of the week except 'SUNDAY'...More the number of hours at your disposal, more confused you end up being...

Its 3 am here in College Station, and i am not able to sleep and neither have i been able to figure out the answer to the billion dollar question: "what should i be doing". Staring at the taskbar of my laptop; i have one browser window open on the federal transit administration...one cad drawing of my site plan, gmail...and last but not the least my blog! I just realized that neither or them are related to the other. Ocassionally i have been skipping to my gmail to check if there are owls like me online...none of my friend in the US are, and neither are the ones in India (guess why?....its a sunday there as well). Who is to blame? Who invented the calendar??? Why is there one sunday every week and why should 'sunday' be a holiday???....The irony of it all; the radio channel i am listening to "city 101.6 FM-dubai" is playing the song...."pal...yaad aayenge ye pal"...
I think i need a cup of BRU Coffee!
