This Muggle Life

For the past two weeks,I’ve been catching movies I never wanted to watch .Attribute it to the fact that any ,ANY movie would perpetually be houseful in Hyderabad (People seem to find nothing better to do in this city).First it was Apna Sapna money money.[I could not believe my eyes when I saw that someone @ the theater had come to collect tickets for this movie ,that they had advance booked through tele-booking.Talk about desperation].Then yesterday,it was “Vivaah”.And I must admit,though I could sit through “Apna S M-square” ,inspite of all its corny double-meaning dialogues and barely clothed small-town girls, “Vivah” was a tough nut to crack.The journey from engagement to marriage was torturous.I found myself yawning before the intermission . Vivah is a fairy-tale, idealistic movie with ideal people.Everyone is the perfect bahu,groom,son,daughter,sister-in-law,father-in-law..etc.Everyones paal-vadinjufying in the movie.As a result,The movie is all too sweet,all too predictable ,and hence ,all too borring. God,what I would’ve given yesterday to see Captain ward off bullets with archanai thattus or Vijay pull off Santro doors ,just like that .

I haven’t been working for the past two hours (aaargh ! By my standards,that’s too low.I normally don’t work for 8 hours at a stretch).Well,this morning has been really lazy.Too lazy to blog.So I picked up something from my mail (which appeared really inspiring to my puny little brain) and posted that.

Then ,by supreme ,external forces (‘cos I never work of my own will),I had to work for 3 straight hours ( I’m breaking my own personal records today).Then decided it was time to take a long break.Started listening to “Ay Hairathe” from Guru.And so mesmerized,I’ve been listening to the same number for the past 2 hours.Just cant seem to get enough of it. Nothing like playing a lovely song and imagining yourself to be the pretty,decked up heroine with her adaas and nakhras and Abhishek falling head-over-heels for you :-D Perrrfect way to spend time @ office ;-)

“Ovoru manushanukkum oru breaking point irukku”.I think I’ve hit mine.In my professional life,that is.But ,well ,I hit this breaking point more than once and that last two times ,I didn’t do more than fret and fume at y I am where I am,and why I am still there..

But this time,I’ve decided .I’m going to do something about it.

Alternative 1: Get a new job.

Pros : More salary.More spacious cubicle.Unlimited 24-hr internet access to ALL sites.Paper tissues in the ofc washrooms.

Cons:Same old cut,copy,paste.Office politics.Still need to butter up your boss.

Alternative 2: Get an MBA.

Pros :- Plump pay package.Pompous job designation that has the words Business & Manager somewhere in it.Your old colleagues look at you in envy and say “Ohhh!! MBA-va ?..!”

Cons: Almost a year of preparation to get into B-School.And for all that prep,you still may not be able to bell the CAT.And once you do get into B-School,too too much hard work.

Alternative 3:Just stay put in your comfort zone.Wake up once in a while and cry “Mera Number Kab Ayega?” .That seems to be precisely what I am doing.
