The Nocturnal Me!!

Its 03:00 hours (that means three in the morning!!). I don’t know why I am writing this. But it rounds off a perfect day of planning and implementation (a very imp. HR function :)) for me. I dozed off in the evening with the intention of sleeping till nine, having dinner and then STUDY.. But at 6:30PM (tell me, is it morning or evening???) my sleep was woken by some shouting on the floor below. That particular floor is blessed with a TV set. I thought may be India (Sourav Ganguly in particular) must be playing well. I rushed down to be greeted by the dismal sight of India’s wicket tumbling like… (Cant think of a good metaphor!!). Anyways saw the match and went for my dinner at 9:00 PM (Trust me I am enjoying this!!). for a change the dinner was good and for the first time in the grand history of ICFAI Business School, Prashant Chaturvedi (Enrollment No. 06BS-2353) had three, yes, I am not kidding, THREE rotis. Man, I ROCK!!! Then with the noble intention of studying, armed with my Business Research Method (BRM) books I headed for the war front, the LIBRARY. (bas maa ke aashirwad kee kamee thee!!). I collected The Times Of India, The Hindu and sat down to read the paper. I thought I would catch up on world news (actually meaning cricket news. You have to agree I am honest.) and then conquer BRM. But that was not to be. One of my friends from Calcutta called up. After having a short chat with him (15 min to be precise) I went back to the warfront. After catching up on world news :). I opened my BRM book. Suddenly I started feeling very tired. So, I ended up reading John Wright’s Indian Summers (a really NICE book) for an hour and a half. I left the library at 00:00 hrs. (Guess!!). I came back to my room with the thought of dozing away to glory. But that was not to be. I dropped into Pokee and Dattu’s room (if it can be called that!!) and saw that they were watching Lage Raho Munna Bhai. Shamefull as it may appear, but I had not seen the movie. So ended up watching the movie (which is really EXCELLENT). Came back to my room at 2:15 AM. My room resembled a dhobi ghat. So, tidied up and kept all my dried and washed clothes in the cupboard. Right now there is a birthday party going on the floor below. All the idiots are drunk and providing a surround sound effect to the already LOUD music. I just felt like writing.

I spoke to Jhabs today right after dinner. She was telling me things happening in Calcutta. Things which should not be happening. People are living in a world which is very superficial. Full of materialism and no concrete things. No intangibles feelings or relationships to fall back on. We are been FORCED to give ROYAL BALLS to people we don’t want them. But there is a limit to everything. A line has to be drawn somewhere. At times the youngsters have to take on the mantle. The decisions our elders take are not always justified. They have to take decisions with loads of baggage. So it leads to biased thinking. But its ok. I am CONFIDENT AND SURE that what we are doing is correct. So no load from my side. Abhi I have gotta go. Have the first lecture tomorrow morning. I will try sleeping amongst all the peace been disrupted by the song Beede Jalayeele (I must admit a very catchy song!!). Good night.
