  • Work is going on well. Am getting interesting projects. Extremely busy with work. Putting in 12-16 hours but I don’t mind.
  • Vineet has moved to Mumbai and has started working. However he works and stays in Belapur so we can meet only on weekends. He is coming over late tonight. Nice to have him around. Am waiting for him to get settled and have a little more free time on his hands. Right now he is very busy with the induction and training at his new job.

Very busy and very lazy

Posted on June 17, 2007 by Varun

That in a nutshell is the reason for me not blogging since many days. There are lots of topics sitting on my to-blog list but I am unable to get around to blogging about them.

Have tons of work at office and also lots of things going on in my personal life. I have also suddenly slipped into “ultra-lazy” mode and so don’t feel like blogging. Monsoons finally seem to have hit Mumbai and the weather has made me even more lethargic.

That’s all for now. See ya soon! Continue reading →

Cannot sleep

Posted on May 15, 2007 by Varun

Have you ever had the experience of feeling tired and sleepy but not being able to sleep? I have slept for around 8 hours in all over the past 2 days. I left work a bit early to catch up on my sleep because I was feeling very sleepy.

But bang! The moment I reach home sleep is history and I am wide awake. I try reading, no use. I try listening to music, no use. I chat with friends for a while, no use. Now I am blogging, let’s see if I am able to get some sleep after this. If not I will be walking around like a zombie in office tomorrow. Yawn. Good night. Continue reading →

Where the were you?!?

Posted on May 4, 2007 by Varun

YOU: I have been checking your blog every single day. Where the <beep> were you? You <beep>, don’t you know that if you have a blog you are at least supposed to update it once in a while?

ME: I am SOOOOO sorry! Life has been throwing lots of things at me and I was busy dodging some, catching some and throwing back some. No explanations, no more apologies. Aren’t you just happy that I am back?

YOU: Hmmm… you are right. OK, don’t disappear anywhere without telling, OK?

ME: Agreed. Btw I will have to edit out all those gaalis you said. This is a family blog (my dad reads it!) and I cannot have all those cuss words lying around.

YOU: What the <beep>? You <beep>, you <beep>, I will <beeeeeeep>….

ME: OK guys, I think I will have to end this post here, this guy is going to keep talking for a long long time. Bye for now and see you soon. Continue reading →

Bangalore weekend – Short post

Posted on March 18, 2007 by Varun

Bangalore Trip Photos
Landed up in Bangalore on Saturday morning. Met up with Pratik, Gunjan, Moin, Subodh (Potli), Steve and Vineet. Went to a a few good places on Brigade Street (Alibi, Guzzlers and Corner House). Met Pratik’s friends and Vineet’s friends. Then moved onto Palace grounds for the Iron Maiden concert.

Parikrama was nice, Lauren Harris were OK (crowd booed them but somehow I liked their music) but Iron Maiden were awesome. The atmosphere was electric and crazy. Had lot of fun. Was terribly tired with legs aching. Continue reading →

The Struggle

Posted on March 8, 2007 by Varun

I almost titled this post “The Rat Race” or “My Quarter-life Crisis”.

It’s weird. Each passing day makes me feel that I am in a rat race, not your usual rat race but a rat race with myself. I want to keep doing better, learn more, do more, earn more, become more efficient, in general become more than what I currently am. Is this usual? Is this abnormal? Is this good? I don’t know. On one hand I am not unhappy with the way things are going in my personal life and professional life. On the other hand sometimes I feel very inadequate and unsuccessful. Continue reading →

Yawn

Am feeling very lazy today. The weather is also cool and cloudy, the kind of weather and infuses lethargy into you. Wish it were a Saturday. Continue reading →

Power-napper par excellence

Posted on February 28, 2007 by Varun

That’s me. Since my college days I have a habit of sleeping for an hour in the afternoon usually just after lunch. We usually used to have our lecture from 1 to 5 in the afternoon and since attendance was not mandatory for most of the courses I would skip one or two (at least) and sleep nicely.

However things changed when I left the nice comfy world of college to earn my livelihood. Was it acceptable to sleep in office? What would colleagues think? What would my boss think? But I was lucky enough to always end up in liberal-attitude projects and understanding bosses and so never had to really confront those questions. So my power-napping still continues. The duration has come down to 20-30 minutes but not the effectiveness. Continue reading →
