I hear about this 'Blogstipation' everywhere, and I am feeling the same as well. For the past so many days I did not have any idea what to write about. There were so many incidents in my life that happened last few days, but what can I write about every single thing was important and still insignificant. Hence I decided to take some time off and not write anything.
I found a new passion. Which was to while away time. Which technically means, sitting in front of the idiot box and surf channels, watch crappy TV channels, and still not have any guilt. Yes, I confess, I have become a couch potato! My family tells me, why do you have to hibernate this way? There are so many things to do. And whats wrong with you? Step out, go for a walk, or get out with friends, or read, or bla bla...But I guess I was just too tired to do anything. I had a crazy work schedule last ten days or so, which included some hi-tea sessions at a diplomat's residence and spending time with one of India's top artists / painter / photographer, and convince him to get some stuff for us. Anyway, am not complaining...
But today, here I am, in the office on a lazy saturday pre lunch session, trying to figure out what has to be done during the day. Jeez there are so many things to take care of, that needs constant creative attention and execution, but darn! I have no mood to work!!! I had to get into office today to just show my face to my new firang boss. I had also thought of excuses to make, to play truant and run away from work and have a nice brunch at Khan market with a few buddies. I get in here to realise that she was not coming into work today due to some personal reasons. I go, Oh no! And before I could finish all those sighs and all those nahiiiis...she calls me, only to tell me that she wouldn't be coming into work, and that I have to take care of all her meetings and calls. I go....darn! its a saturday. How cruel can anyone be to make this poor little soul work so much. Just then I feel like taking some time off. I go to the pantry to fix myself a cuppa tea. Just a way to distract myself from work for exactly 3 minutes. And to be honest with you, I have a great passion to get distracted. I have mastered the art. I was thinking, how nice it would be to have a job in one of those travel channels, something like Travel and living or NGC! I would love to do what a Padmalakshmi or Kevin Brouch do, whose job is to travel to great exotic locations, taste some fine wine or indulge themselves in gastronomic wonders! Ah, how nice!
Well well..All I can do at this point is just think about this and grudge and feel jealous and crib and everything. Only to realise that I have to send a creative matter to a publication and my deadline is nearing!!! Ooops..gotta run!
