All that a day is made of

If the weekend was not enough, Monday brought itz share of workload.

Sunday,our maid did not turn up again so we distributed the work amongst ourselves... Mom,Dad and Ankit did the washing of clothes part while I did the cleaning of the house and kitchen.

After all this work I was too tired for anything but had to cook lunch for myself and Honey so we decide on Chinese food and I cooked some Punjabi-style Chinese stuff. :)

I could not manage to even lie down as I was chatting up with a new-found friend and it was fun until I realised my neck had almost given away and I felt every muscle in my body sore. Ah! whole day went by in the domestic work.

Monday, I woke up at 5 am, went for my walk and it was still dark. In winters, sun turns up only after 6:45 or so here. I felt a bit scared too coz even the dogs in the block were sleeping. :) Surprisingly it was my Day 1 again after the viral bout and I did 3 rounds of the ground. I was happy with myself,although during the last round of brisk-walk, I felt a little not on my feet but then I took some deep breaths and it was okay enuff to make it to my home from there.

I was greeted by Happy and Rustam at the house-gate and sooner I went to the exercise room and did the usual routine stuff followed by Pranayama. Mom asked me to pray in the morning too so I quickly drank some 4-5 glass of hot water and after 20 mins or so took my bath, did all the prayers I had to do and by the time I had my tea it was 8:30 am. Time for work!! But...But.. My maid did not turn up yesterday too...Ah! I could not afford to do all the work yesterday as I had to report for work too. So I thought I'd rather cater to it in lunch-hour. I could not.

It was a 1-1 with my manager yesterday and I was sure he would tell me : "Our team is struggling with work, I think we'll have to do away with few people and I found out that in a team where people have 7-12 yrs of experience, you are the only one with an experience of just 3.5 yrs." I was prepared for this but he told me how now he wants me to take the lead and ramp up so I match up the guy with 12 yrs of work-ex.. I was like, "Are you kidding me?" ha ha ha..."How can it be possible?"

Somehow I managed to sail through it all. He told me,"I want you to train ppl, handle a project and take-up some Sales wins altogether at a time". "Ah! someone please tell him, I am not a machine and in that case, even my laptop shuts down on its own if I force it to over-work" ;)

He made me the 'lead' for another Sales-Win Demo...I hardly have any idea on and later till 8 pm I was running between meetings. :( Had my dinner at my desk and later logged in to chat with some US guys and caught up with my bloggie-frenz , had a fun-chat and almost slept on my laptop when I told them that I was sleepy.

Slept by 12:00 coz Happy Singh did not give in and wanted to sleep in my bed. :( Got up at 5 and went for my walk...By the time, I realised what I was doing in the middle of the road...two dogs from a house near the ground caught my legs...a Huge Labrador and a Spitz...They shook me out of my sleep.... :) I escaped their clutches ... completed 3 rounds of the ground and almost fell during the last one . Came home, exercised and after half-an-hour, fell asleep while reading the newspaper and dreamt abt all possible weird things...Accidents,Epilepsy Attacks,Crying People...Uhuh!

Woke up in an hour with lingering thoughts of the dreams...had my tea,maid will not turn up today too(she is on an indefinite leave) and am back to work!! Now, an alram pops up warning me of all the meetings lying ahead...Ah! There must be a life beyond all this. :)

Did I tell you? I love my life :)
