The monotony of work life....

It was pretty much a normal day. I woke up in the morning, cranky as usual :P Dragged myself through the usual routine of getting ready and looking decent enough and 'professional'. The rest of the day crawled by like every other day.

Work makes you lose patience and interest, and gain weight ;) If I think of how I was a few months ago and how I am now, I realize I've started talking way too much! (not that I used to talk too little before :D) I go around talking to people just so that I don't die of disgruntlement! Thankfully I have good friends around who bare with all my madness :)

After I got home I was looking for something to do, something until sleep takes over me. This brings us to another thing 'work' does to you, it makes you procrastinate. I finally got my ass off the bed and went out to make a few calls (I need to go to the balcony to make a phone call! Vodafone has absolutely no service in my room :-X ).

And this is what made me blog after such a long time: the news that there was something so close to my heart happening in Mysore, and I wasn't there for it! I dunno how many people would understand this, but I know the 9 others certainly would. DoLLu kuNita! It all happened over a period of 3 weeks in February. Sure a few of us had done it before, but it was kind of a new beginning for all of us. We learnt it all over again. And calling it a grand success is corroding the actual appreciation it should get!

Watch the following link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qS5Z6B3xPY

(The most awesome DoLLu team ever: Maithra, Sahana, Sharan, Shobitha, Madhav, Bob, Ranga, Roshan, Karthik and myself. I love you guys!)

It's happening again. The whole team, except Karthik and myself, is still there in Mysore, preparing themselves for the next performance. I heard that and for the first time since I came to Hyderabad, I cried! It took me exactly 4 months to get here. I still don't think I'm homesick, but I sure wish I was even now a part of that bloody awesome place called SJCE :( The place where I'll always be the 'Hoyya' girl!!

And now I'm waiting for my alarm to ring at 7 AM so that I can make that call and listen to the familiar sound of the DoLLus beating again :)

Update: Something that very well describes what I'm feeling now:


I woke the other day
And saw my world has changed
The past is over but tomorrow's wishful thinking
I can't hold on what's been done
I can't grab on what's to come
And I'm just wishing I could stop, but

Life goes on
Come of age
Can't hold on
Turn the page

Time rolls on
Wipe these eyes
Yesterday laughs
Tomorrow cries


Memories are bittersweet
The good times we can't repeat
Those days are gone and we can never get them back
Now we must move ahead
Despite our fear and dread
We're all just wishing we could stop, but

Life goes on
Come of age
Can't hold on
Turn the page

Time rolls on
Wipe your eyes
Yesterday laughs
Tomorrow cries

With all our joys and fears
Wrapped in forgotten years
The past is laughing as today just slips away
Time tears down what we've made
And sets another stage
And I'm just wishing we could stop

Life goes on
Come of age
Can't hold on
Turn the page

Time rolls on
Wipe these eyes
Yesterday laughs
Tomorrow cries

Time rolls on
