The week that was: (Well technically last week, I left it to rot in drafts)
Hectic. I didn't get to eat on time, missed out on sleep, generally went crazy with the demands of a job on the suddenly (unsatisfactorily) employed! (but the details of that are the story for another post altogether)
Boring. When it boils to it, work, is, simply put, mind numbingly boring. I wish I could find a job that involves a lot of reading, writing and surfing the internet and pays well. (Dream on, I hear?) Sigh.
Hard hitting. Julian Assange was in and out of jail. I admire the people who were able to dig out such obscure Swedish laws to put this man in jail. (there is something very very irresistibly appealing about a man like Assange, with his eccentric mannerisms, just like there is something irresistible about Arundhati Roy)
Nostalgia-inducing. A dear friend I've known since kindergarten is now engaged and is going to be tying the knot. Nothing brings reality pouring down on you like a bucket of ice, like knowing your best friend's life is going to transform beyond your comprehension.
Expensive. Onions are expensive. A friend took a dig at it by posting pictures of a cheap bag of onions from the UK
What it was not:
The much anticipated nerd attack, Anonymous's horde of nerds fighting back (enlisting the help of the common computer-owning man's support, of course) did not have a great outcome. It was definitely not a week where the freedom of speech won. (for everything else, there's Mastercard?)
It was not a week to blow up cash, the new job hasn't paid (off) yet!
Was a terrible week, nation wise, accusations hurling like nukes from Ratan Tata to Rajeev Chandrashekar, scams galore, raids, more accusations, more scams. Just another day in India
Definitely not the week to consider joining Twitter.
All in all, the mundane in this country is anything but. sigh. And here I was dreaming about Change. What a lot of *&^%%$@##$.
