Friday Syndrome....

I can work on any day any time; morning, evening, day, night, Sunday, Monday…but Fridays. I don’t know what’s the reason but I just cannot work on Fridays, especially post lunch. Lunch karke lauto and immediately somehow I start visualizing the lanes of Bandra infront of me, or if not Bandra, the scene in my apartment or Khemkas as it is called, with me and a group of my lukha friends. There is something associated with Friday afternoons and evenings. Somehow I just cannot keep my mind from meandering here and there; I just cannot sit in a discussion; I cannot keep my tie intact; I simply cannot help myself from sending those numerous sms’s, “raat ka kya scene”. For quite some time now, courtesy the absence of lack of like minded people in office, be it Abhinav, Suri, Vimal etc in Seagram or Patki, Punda, Aditya in TSMG I have always had a ball on Friday evenings. I mean its so natural and automatic to keep staring at your watch, do nothing, make plans and head to a pub on a Friday night…its so ingrained and become a part of us now. So attuned had I become of this that I can’t think of any other activity. However, of late when I have made a sincere attempt to sanitize my life, I still find myself having this “Friday no work syndrome” and my legs automatically dragging me to some pub. I don’t drink there but I just cant deny myself a good time on such an auspicious occasion. Plus, if I don’t do that, what else do I do??? I have tried a lot of alternatives but most of them require me to don the adventurous hat or move in groups of not like minded people which I am just not capable of. What does it mean?? Very simple…do what u do best…walk into a nearby pub even if your accompanying drink there is a glass of fresh lime or a mug of beer at max. Neverthless, kaam to Friday afternoons ko nahin hota…..no way…I still remember, how earlier i used to hate it when inadvertently it happened that me and Aditya are sitting in a discussion with Pankaj on friday nights and as usual and to our pain it got late....and both of us looking at each other with shinnign eyes.... Friday afternoons are not for working...they are for planning for the night...they are for anticipation...they are for co-ordinating with ur friends outside the city about the flight they will take to bby and which place is suitable for them....its for all these....or if not these, for doing tp like yahoo messenger, orkut, or blogging...(see the time and day!!!!) P.S:
