Long Live The Clan

In the same league as that of superheroes,
There exists another clan that deserves your bows.
They are the rare few, the strong, the doers,
They are the clan of Saturday office goers.

When on Thursday you prepare for the weekend,
When mails for "Friday Fun at Work" you send,
When Friday dawns and you debate which jeans to wear,
That's when the Clan silently sheds a tear.

But they are the clan of strong, eternal optimists,
In just 1 Sunday, they complete all chores on their lists.
They take joy in whizzing through roads on Saturday,
While you still recover from your wild Friday partaaay.

It builds character, they say,
To work while your FB feed reads like a teen's typical day,
To see check-ins to Fennys, TGIF and Chilly,
While you work your ass off silly.

In ways you can't imagine, it changes them.
At job interviews they use this new wisdom
"Do you have any questions for us?"
"Yes. Is it true? Saturdays are off, says the buzz."

That's the Clan of Saturday office goers,
Don't feel bad, for we are the doers.
Long live the Clan. Long live the Clan.
Let me go make my sad one day weekend plan.

Them 90s Things - 1 - iTV Music Channel

Starting a random series of all things from a 90s childhood, just so I have a record of these memories for posterity. Do you remember a channel called iTV?  The 1999 Cricket World Cup was when our extremely middle-class, government quarters colony rose to the challenge of cable tv. Till then, we were happily adjusting our antennas and watching wholesome family entertainment on the two channels of DD1 and DD2. Then came the cable wale bhaiya, with his fancy earring, a few TV guides stacked under his arms along with long ropes of cable, promising unlimited entertainment for the entire colony. And just like that, we all got lured. Cable TV bought with it a lot of changes, many of which I assume will get covered in this series. But, today's post is about 1 particular memory which every 90s kid can relate to. A huge letter I revolving on the TV in anticipation of a new song being chosen. Yep. The iTV generation. Not MTv. It was all about iTV. I still don't know what that channel was

Drumrolls and All That

In crass Hindi, this moment would have been aptly defined as "Laut ke buddhu, ghar ko aaye".  Exact translation would mount to "Fools return home" and that's what this post is. So, after taking a break from work, doing a second Masters, getting a job in Singapore and moving countries, I am back on the blog.  Who would have thunk? An year back, I had no idea this is what I would be doing in an year. But then again, do we know what we will be doing an year from now?  Lesson learnt. No planning, no guessing.  Just keep exploring, keep doing new things, keep learning, keep meeting new people. Things will happen. Trust. Like a fool (who returned home!) So, while I discover this part of my life, Singapore, I thought I need the blog more than the blog needs me. Because moving countries is not in the least as glamorous as it sounds.  There's the whole deal with selling all belongings which you have hoarded lovingly over the years. A

Letters to the Upparwalla!

(Wow! BlogAdda made my day! :) ) Prologue: I have been SO so SO so lazy, busy and blank, that I stopped writing posts altogether. But then, on reflection, I thought I owed this one to the unseen forces above. Hence, this post! LETTER #1 To The Gods Above, 1, "All Roads Lead to Heaven" Road, Heaven - 000000 15.06.2010 From Un Faithful Earthling Somewhere on Earth - Does the pin code matter?
