Between jobs......

In the last break (http://rachitst.blogspot.com/2010/01/break-from-life-as-i-know-it.html), it was just a break from work. At the back of my mind, i still had the list of things to do once i am back to work.
Now, in effect, i had the same thing, but still this was different. For one, now i was not worried about what i had in store once the break is over. I might have been anxious, though. After all, new job, new places, new people.
But till then,nivaant........
Not that it was planned to be a nivaant break. After planning out trips to places like Bangkok, Pattaya, Bali, Leh , Vaishnodevi, Lonavala, Matheran........ which were all cancelled due to reasons varying from professional commitments and exam(which never happened) to plain laziness.....i was left with an option of doing nothing much.... even Akash dropping in at precisely the same time did not help - a trip to Mocha is all we could manage.....
And it isn't as if , i did nothing at all... i did a few things like...
  1. Rest - nothing better than plain old rest. Get up, eat, sleep......
  2. Stay away from PC - my phone took care of my net requirements, hardly touched a keyboard last 20 days
  3. Cricket - Test matches, ODI's, T20's, replays, classic matches, best performances, best catches - bring it on!!! Thank you Star Cricket and Ten Cricket.
  4. Hospital trip - Munnabhai said 'Zindagi main bahut kuch paheli baar hota hain mamu!" so, i had my first hospital trip. Thanks to one mosquito. And for the first time i had experiences relatd to wheelchair, blood pressure, IV and so on. Sad. And dont let anyone tell you how much fun it is to have pretty nurses taking care of you. When you are in hospital, your only thought is to get out asap - even if Katrina Kaif is the nurse!
  5. Moustache - Kaafi din shave nahi kia, socha dekhu kaisa lagta hoon, to rakh li. Jury is out.
  6. Shopping - after maybe 2 years. some formals. 25 mins, 6 shirts, one trouser, done. I never get how guys, and i mean men, spend hours on shopping.

Phew, thats quite a lot of things done.....from Monday, back to life (but i dont know how it will be)
