an appendix to the good, the bad and the ugly

well, after going to gym five days in the week prior to the blog titled 'the good, the bad and the ugly', and after having a surprisingly decent monday, i went to the gym on monday evening.....and after that didnt go to gym OR office rest of the week as i got viral fever, cough and cold. so much for the bragging and achievement....

the good, the bad and the ugly

well bai god i hope this one doesn't take 2 weeks to write. i must be a very fickle person to not write 5 minutes after i feel like writing. i'll have to warn my wife of possible infidelity (if i get married before the earth is swallowed by the sun).

so, i'm going to delhi this friday. no doubt you are happy for me. many reasons. the first is that delhi is not in bombay. the second is that it puts me 120 million centimetres away from office, and this number is correct, has to be correct coz it matters deeply to me and therefore i applied my kumbhkaran (in size and soporific ability) brain to it. besides that are many reasons like doggies, home food, car, etc.

i have not had a good week in office. pressure has increased manifold though the financial year has just begun. my leave was almost cancelled as a result. i almost quit as a result. the company almost fainted with happiness as a result. ok, last line not true coz i didnt quit. but i don't want to find out how true it can be....will have to toe the line and be a good boy this week

had a good weekend though. hung out only with guys (it can be good for non sexually-differently aligned people also), and did the usual guy things: leching, drinking, hogging, gambling, swearing...but i think we missed the female company, coz we all shopped a lot yday (me the most somehow) and proudly showed to each other our purchases!!!!

had a surprisingly decent monday...the blues were missing. maybe coz i did a little work after 2 weeks, and felt good about it. maybe coz i bitched about the company to many people. god knows. fuck all company. they're having a puja tomorrow morning for something called gudi padwa (for the linguistically challenged anglophiles, the pronounciation rhymes with 'pain in the butt'), and have stated that attendance is mandatory. excuuuuse me, but i'm not one to have personal beliefs like religion imposed on me. i am a man of virtues. a man of principles. a man of morals. a man with spine. i stand up for my beliefs. i also want to go to delhi without giving up my job. so, jai shree om!

but the best news....for the first time, i actually managed to hit the gym 5 days last week!!! taaliyan!!! clap clap. still have the physique of a blade of grass though. to feel better, i will now wear a sleeveless shirt to gym. but to continue feeling better, i will only go at those timings when there are none of the bulldozer-bodied men.

ok chalo, time to go....the bar-bells are ringing! and now i don't feel like writing also, more than 5 minutes have passed...
