Power outage

This is perhaps a time when I’m least expected to write a blog post. It feels like I’m living a life dedicated to work – the day starts with work emails, code reviews, scripts, tickets – even before my teeth get their daily brCandle lightushing. All along the road, on every curve, I’m just imagining my work algorithms – sometimes barely missing dangerous accidents. The whole day I’m floating on this cloud of work, hopping from one task to another. I leave early to avoid traffic, only to have more time to work from home.

I couldn’t exaggerate more on this issue  (although there is barely any). About half an hour ago, I was busy working, when suddenly something great happened – a power outage. In this hot weather and dark night, in an empty house, perhaps its the last thing anyone would want. Contrary to all this, I felt relieved and happy. A power outage had given me those few moments when I could be with myself only – no work, no chat, no twitter, no internet, no television, not even light to look at the room – practically an exclusive ME time.

I feel rejuvenated and ready to take on the world. A long night of work awaits, am sure its going to be fun!

Adios.

Turbulence

PausePhew! Let me take a deep breath and pause for a moment. Life is going too fast, too turbulent, too hectic, too many people, too many things to do, too many things to avoid, too much information, too much misinformation, too much of everything. I’m caught up in a turbulent river’s flow, not able to steer, just barely managing to keep myself afloat. Everyday begins in a hurry, get ready and run to office (well, not actually run, but pretty much race my bike), run back home in late evenings, rush through some pending work, and race with the night to get some sleep before its morning again.

Well, actually, I took a break a week ago – a full 10 day vacation sitting at home. Many reasons, including but not limited to, my parents’ 25th wedding anniversary, my cousin brother’s 1st wedding anniversary and another cousin’s birthday. Along with that, I got my tooth (rather teeth) drilled and filled with cement. I know, I know, I should brush and all, and I do that, they were just long pending tooth decay.

Anyway, coming back to the main topic, May 2009 seems like a busy unending vicious circle. Everyday, I go towards office thinking that this will be the day I’ll finally solve the challenging problems I am facing. Every evening I return from office, thinking that I’ll catch up with more friends, finish some personal work, read a book perhaps and write on this blog. Every night, I sleep thinking that I’ll be able to get enough sleep and tomorrow will be better. I need a teeny-weeny break to break this chain. To make things start rolling again.

Here’s hoping for a better tomorrow. Adios.
