Some news

Ok, guys... a lot of you have complained about my inertia and I plead guilty as charged. Haven't written a word for over a month and I guess there wasn't anything significant to contribute too. Sloth has taken over me for good. Truly enjoying the last few days of lazing around, staring blankly at the walls and ceiling, paying little heed to the rat race all around.

While it lasted, it was fun. The hot humid summer, the fan spewing out those dense, prickly gusts of air, curtains flapping in a slow gruelling motion, the odd bird chirping a woeful tale and your's truly lost in this void, vacant in a vacuum, mind asleep, floating in a world of nothingness.

After years of work and keeping up to the dictats of time, for a change it felt good to just let go, be not accountable to anything at all. To soak in the pleasure of doing nothing at all, to have the whole day to do whatever i like, to watch some good movies and read some nice books, to have those long spells of day dreaming with eyes wide open, to cook those occassional festive dish, to go shopping at 11 am on a weekday--- it felt really good to do it all.

However, before i truly lose my sanity and give myself away completely to inertia, it is time for me to get back to the real world. I am soon going to join a start up to head their marketing efforts. After years of limiting myself to the digital world, it will be a good break to dabble with all the different media and advertising platforms. Also, since the company is in the entertainment vertical, it promises to be an exciting role. The location of the office is magnificient, snugly located in a sea-facing part of versova, and while the commute is going to be troublesome, the hours at office is expected to be pleasent. To top it all, there is a Birdys at close quarters, and i promise to take full advantage of it (those gooey chocolate treats....boy, am i salivating already).

I am visiting my in laws at kolkata this week. It is supposed to be very hot and sultry in the city of joy at this time of the year. We plan to go to Raichak and a few weekend getaways. The husband really loves to travel and hopefully this trip will shape up well. Also, will visit the brother in bangalore. It is going to be a full family reunion, with the parents also being there. The brother, who being younger to me, is still a kid in my eyes, seems to have grown up. He has purchased a house and a car on his own and I am looking forward to seeing them.

In the midst of all this planning and traveling, have read some interesting books-- The Gamechangers, Next and Pirate Latitudes by michael crichton, and Dork by sidin vadukut. All of them are good one time reads. Also, watched Original Sin yesterday. If i hadn't watched the biograph of Angelina Jolie on Discovery, I might have fallen in love with her (well, in a strictly platonic sense...i am straight after all). I find this lady quite enchanting and her performance mysterious and fresh.

Well, that is it, i guess for today. Deblina, this piece was specially for you as you had so sincerely requested me to engage in this activity again.
Cheers.
