Heavenly Life !! A hourly report on a disgustingly lazy day in a week long hol back home !!

Disclaimer: the structure of this blog is one gr8 thin i learnt from my fellow blogging friends..nevertheless my first attempt

8.00 am: (amma shouts) Sriraaaaam !! ezhundirumaa.. mani 8 aachu ... sooda kaapi tharen..

9.00 am: (appa 's warning) Dei !! ezhunduraaa dei !! (plz note the stark difference in approach here)

10.00 am: (amma again..really frustrated with my laziness) ezhundhurda kannu !! takkunu pal thechuttu vaa pappom (she really does think i am a child still) and ofcourse amma knows given a chance i might ask for bed coffee skipping the 'brushing the teeth' part !!

(and appa rejoins with his stern voice) thambi (i dunno why he calls me tht???) this is the last time I am telling you (by this time I know I gotto save my ass from getting kicked)

11.00 am: I while away some time in facebook, gmail, orkut checking out whether my friends are as lazy/ vella as I am (and then getting a sadistic pleasure when couple of them confirms it with their 'smart ass/ totally crap' status messages)

by this time I get another request from my dear parents to cleanse my "pon meni" (simply put...to take a bath) and amma ofcourse provides incentive for me by tempting me with hot, hot potato fried curry, ghee rice, saambar, tomato rasam, appalam (papad) ... (by the time you finish reading this I am already in my bathtub..he he)

12.00 pm: I am drinking my kheer with gay abandon .. amma wud ask me to rest and funnily try to get me away from the idiot box (however unluckily for amma, some of the best afternoon-after meal films wud be screened like "chinna counder") the window shades will provide the right ambience, pillow and bed once again become ur best friends and life goes on :D


3.00 pm: By the time the film (or may be a set of snack + films) get over, its coffee time (yes u r right...amma is the best creation of god yet) ... I drink away to glory wiping the creamy layer/ froth at the top all the way till the "sugar-concentrated" last drop !!

4.00 pm: time to check out the useless online paper, news paper, business magazines - jus to keep in touch with the world, I say to myself and console - (these are the ill effects of working full time...boo hoo) and then try to get an appointment with clients in chennai, so that it doesn't entirely become a good-for-nothin holiday :(

5.00 pm: time for checkin my mailbox, (and also check desperately/pathetically whether someone has replied or commented on ur facebook status :P) upload some pics on orkut showcasing you are the best narcissicist around

6.00 pm: Its time for kovil with dear amma leading the proceedings and convincing me to come along for want of best health, success, et al (and ofcourse I believe temples have a slightly high probability of success than beaches and multiplexes, if you are in serach of your "ONE")

7.00 pm: make some calls back to mumbai checking out on my 'not so vetti' friends (how the days been? hows work? ) ..by this time they would want to kill me for having a wonderful boss who gave me one FULL week off and promised to not give any work back at home...and to pour oil in fire, I would relate the menu for the day and wats gonna be up for dinner (hmm..my friends would console themselves rightly believing I would pay my dues once I set foot in Mumbai next weekend)

8.00 pm: Dinner time !! (I am sure after starting to work, home is where you seriously eat timely food)

9.00 pm: Back to idiot box !! sports, news, cinema and wat not.. (by this time appa gets irritated at my equally irittating habit of flipping channels in lightning speed) .. and currently Star Vijay is my favorite regional channel for their crystal clear differentiation in format and content !! good work !!

10.00 pm: Time for last ditch effort for a "funny" status on facebook!! (disheartened that the traffic to my homepage is on a de-growth phase) .. Orkut has become boring, uploading fotos is the only past time there (and ofcourse for birthday wishes)...Chat windows open, kadalai starts 'right-left-centre'..

11.00 pm: Time for a late night movie (nothing beats the worst punishment of unnecessarily straining the eyes and addictedly watching yet another brain numbing "romantic comedy") ..this movie watching time will be intercepted by appa's yet again stern voice booming from the bedroom warning me for the umpteenth time to hit the bed (as of amma - poor soul, after all the days work she will be dead tired to even discuss things)

1.00 or 2.00 am: I hit the bed thinking loud as to how lucky am I to have such a tension free, irresponsible life ;-) then suddenly it strikes me and I am not the least bit liking it.. all my dearest co-working souls by now might have realised wats it about...I WANNA REWIND BACK...

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...

Its ok.. Good night guys :)
