"Dude, why don't you ever smile?"
A question i've been asked on so many occasions in the past few weeks... And my answer??... Simply put, i've decided not to fake anymore.. All the fake smiling so far has put my jaws in pain, and i've decided to put an end to the misery.. These fair-weather friends with their pseudo friendships don't even deserve my fakest of fake smiles..
YES!!!... I am having a very bad day, if you haven't noticed so far... Sucked up day at work, disappointment, power failure - all the psychological tortures I can possibly imagine [post edit: actually not! I can imagine a lot more psychological forms of tortures!]...
I had wanted to mention this on my blog a while back, but it slipped my mind.. A couple of weeks back, I was invited by my colleague to his father's retirement party (!!!)... I was really curious about how people celebrated their retirement, so I decided to attend the function... I had half expected it to be a function where people quietly come in, shake hands with the retired person, murmur a tiny conversation with the other people gathered at the function and then leave... Trust me, I was taken in for a huge surprise when I reached the place... So much to the point that I wasn't sure whether I was at the retirement function or a marriage party!... There was loud music, singing, food, blah blah... I don't really get the point!!!... The very next day after your retirement would have to arguably be one of the most depressing days of your life!!!... The fact that you are done with everything and that you are simply waiting to hit the grave is going to haunt you right till, errr... your grave???... I don't find any reason in celebrating the fact that you are going to sleep till afternoon every day, and the only work you have is looking after the roses in your front yard!!!...
Oh btw... If you are taking in a lot of pressure at work and you own a good phone (and not the moronic ones that won't even allow you to check your mail), check out 'Mutant Roadkill'... The game is an absolute joy if you have a violent mofo hidden deep inside you... It's been helping me a lot these days... Everytime I need to release my frustration, I simply pick up my phone, open the game, run over 200 to 300 mutants and then get back to what I was doing... IT WORKS!!!
[Post Edit - Aug12] - Just got back from the company's badminton "tournament"... ahhh the cockhead (called so, little because of the shape of his head, and more because of the kind of person he is!) and his teammate ended up winning it... on the brighter side - played badminton for the first time in my life...
On a signing-off note...
I HATE THIS PLACE.....
(phew!... feeling much better now... no, actually not!... sigh...)
