Nimish Batra, The Life and Times of

Friday was the last day of the working weekend. The weekend that started early.
Friday was a treat day. The treat was overbudget.
This place called IndiJoe’s has sizzlers. The sizzlers that were burnt.
It was so bad I couldn’t finish. The unpalatable sizzlers that caused indigestion.
A plan was made to go on a Saturday trip. [...]

I haven’t shaved my beard since last Wednesday.
I didn’t have time on Friday morning, I forgot on Saturday, and I got an idea on Sunday.
It is this.
I’ll probably reach office on Thursday at 9am. I will proceed to stroke my handsome mane repeatedly and pointedly.
At about 11 (an hour before I take off for lunch), [...]

Assume I posted something here. Just to keep going.
I’ll assume someone commented.
We’ll both assume that a constructive dialogue occured and we added value to the world.
How nice.

One of my colleagues had invited me to his wedding – an event, which through unfortunate circumstances (and mostly my extreme stupidity) I did not attend.
So, I am, a bit awkwardly, hoping that he’ll forgive this transgression of mine after reading this story.

I just read my last post… It’s completely incoherent.
Sorry about that.
To make up for it, here’s something everyone should go through. Hugh MacLeod’s GapingVoid - extracts from his book.
Enjoy.

I’m sitting on a mattress on the floor in a rather small room with fluorescent orange walls, where minutes ago the 600decibel buzzer of my flatmate’s semi-auto washing machine (which I henceforth refuse to use, having not used it earlier and having now experienced the buzzer) has caused me to wonder whether it’s worth it or not.

Procrastination will kill you.

It may be due to a fear of the unknown
Or maybe because of a fear of failure/demotivation
Laziness/lack of positive motivation

Indecisiveness is a friend of procrastination
Making hasty decisions will kill you

in Soviet Russia, you lay haste to waste.

Anywhu. Lessons from house search.

Brokers are avoidable middlemen.
Everyone in the process has money on their mind.
Never take [...]

Sorry for all this delay in posting another installment of my latest meanderings into deep but charted waters of life…
But there has been some turmoil, including but not limited to

Unforeseen issues in the project
My roommate quitting the company to pursue an MBA
As a consequence I’m leaving this current apartment on Sunday after the month’s notice [...]

…is not this one.
I had it all in my mind. But it slipped out of my mind in the last hour I’ve spent struggling with phone/USB/GPRS issues trying to get and stay online. Anyway.
I come home from work daily, a bit happier these days than earlier. I think it’s the weather. But in truth… I [...]
