exhilarating fridays

Its friday!!! its that day of the week when everything seems bright and shiny...from the egg dosas and mint chutney in morn to the boring but still a perk sweet in the noon....and satisfying-i-am-getting-out-of-office tea in the eve....the day of the week when work seems like like hurdles in a race that you strive to just complete....its that day of the week when everyone is friendly cause for once you decided to smile and be receptive...that day when you are not brooding over desk work or complaining about the rash uncouth comments you got...but you look forward two whole days of nasty nothings...or maybe productive somethings between long hours of nasty nothing...when substance abuse is at its peak....two days for which you started planning five days ago...theres a dumbtionary party, a trip to kalashetra, long hours of grey anatomy...late mornig...weird eating hours and hopefully a hell of a lot of boose...ah the satisfaction of a friday cannot be translated...its an emotion that can only be vaguely related to....its anticipation of something unusual, of a stressfree moments...oh god i am exhilarated and jumpy...my colleague who complain i don't talk anymore are excited to see me cracking up loudly, being politically incorrect and cracking weird off-the-box comments!!! so i tell them i am blue on a monday....irritated on a tuesday....depressed on a wednesday....numb on a thursday...and then it comes my exhilarating fridays...i know its weird visious circle but atleast theres some release at a juncture...and thats what i look forward to...a bottle of beer, friends, time outs, sleep-in....i takae this moment to thank yahweh the lord of the jews and the christian for creating this world in seven days and declaring his sunday off...so only natural that mere mortals get two off....i thank the colonialist christians who spread this need for rest...i thank the jews for religious following sabbath....i thank the govt for taking forward these age-old norms and lastly and very superficially and extremely suspicious i thank my organisation for declarings these two days off....though i hear rumours, sinister ones at that this might not last and saturday might end up working...woe to the corporate but until then i will spend another wasteful weekend cleaning my soul of the remanance left by this god forsaken world....to read or not to read that is the question...to watch movies or not that is the question...to travel or not that is a good question....to hit on the guys coming for dinner is a superb question...oh so many decision and only a weekend to decide...i wish god was not so omnipotent and had declared five days off after intensively creating the world in three...ok now i am chattering...gotta go...happy weekend comrades...lal salaam
