The 3 day weekend

I thought i would post something after the visa thing is cleared. But it seems so far away (Oct 4th).. and people have already started asking me, where/what is ur next post? So here i am. Complete/Creative/Crappy and all.
After `Good Friday` somewhere in April, y'day was the first holiday in this year to come on a weekday. Thank God, it was a Monday. A three day weekend is the exact thing i need, or so i thought! Things that can go wrong, went wrong. And things that cannot go wrong also went wrong.
e.g.,

1. My roommate's gf turned up at our home. Up there on my Most-disheartening-things-that-could-happen-to-you-on-a-weekend-leave-alone-a-three-day-weekend list. Not only because it was for three days but bcos it painfully reminds me of the fact that i dont have one, rather than being the most eligible bachelor cum the most good looking guy cum the enigmatic secret agent for <cant-tell-u-bcos-it-is-secret-......-okay-it-is-RAW>...etc..etc.. Had to do the disappearing act and go surfing at Sify iWay. duh?


2. Was living only on Nestle products the three days. U know, corn flakes/maggi noodles/chocolates/chips/etc... This variance in my diet must have affected my creativity and my sense of humour: for all my jokes were a bit stale and the timings were as bad as that attempted cover drive by that eleventh batsman of team USA against Bret Lee's raising length ball.


3. The cable-wala cut the subscription for `Star Movies`. Whenever i pressed channel#31 in my remote i was greeted by a black screen. Felt more disappointing than the thought of no girlfriends.


4. Could only watch all the pretty things near our home dance during the Ganesh festival thing.

Things that could have gone wrong, but almost went wrong.

1. Finally the weekend looked up. Got tickets for `The Terminal` at E-Square-Cinema-5. Two hours of fun, with Tom Hanks and Catherine Zeta Jones(can't believe she is 40 and i can never believe her immensely beautiful lips).


2. Today. Was chatting and only chatting. Was reading Memento as well. Finally started working at 3PM and checked-in 10 files and closed 9 defects before 5PM(thats a feat by any standards)


3. My sweet lil sis called me. She wouldnt believe me when i told her i would be going to the US of A. In fact she went into a hysterical laughin thing that i thought she was crying. I told her that i would bring her a nice big gift when i returned for which she went like "U r serious? Ur company is stupid or what, to send u?".


4. My good friend, Praga returned from the USA.
   #1 lesson learnt for today: There are things like chocolates filled with wine and rum and vodka in this planet.
   Kiten is at home preparing for the trip ahead. I thought i'll also go home. But the 35 hours journey is keeping me in pune. I called my Mom and asked her to come and see me off. She replied she'll come when im goin to the moon.


5. The daily build failed bcos of some guy not following proper procedure and im stuck here till 10PM. But sanity of the code is restored now and the world is once again is saved, thanks to me.

ok guys, thats enough food for u to ponder over.
I gotto go.
