Yeah. Thats right. Monsoons induce lethargy in me like nothing else can. With the exception of good old homemade food. Sigh.

I always look forwards to the monsoons. I am born and brought up in Ahmedabad. Ahmedabad is very hot in summer and dusty almost throughout the year. A combo that makes you yearn for rains. So every year I eagerly look forward to the rains and am very happy when they finally come.

However rains have a very unwelcome side effect in me. They make me more lazy and gently persuade me NOT to work. And in fact till last year that was what I used to do. Not work that is. I could afford/manage to coz I was just a measly student. Now I am employed. And I have to work (at least a little) everyday monsoons or not. :-(

It is times like these that I miss my home and college like anything. At home I would simply curl up with a good book, Mom would brew some coffee for me and I would spend days doing nothing. No constructive work as far as possible. That was my motto. If I was at college I would get some Espresso from the canteen, go and sit in front of the computer and surf, surf and surf. Or go to the library and read.

Nowadays when I get up in the morning I don't feel like going to office. In fact I don't feel like getting up at all. I feel like a slug who has no aim in life except to just while away the time doing nothing (reminds me of Garfield). I am not a morning person. I can stay awake as long as I want but getting up early in the morning takes a lot of effort and willpower. Add to it the dark and dank mornings that greet me nowadays when I wake up and I am even more discouraged to get up. Seeing some sun in the morning makes it easier for me to get up. Yawn. Even thinking about it is making me more sleepy.

Chalo... thats enough rambling for a day. I am damn hungry and am waiting for my roomie Abhishek to wrap up his work so that we can go home and get something to eat.

P.S I can almost hear my friend Pallavi ask me "What about lectures? You always fall asleep during leatures!" Well... thats very true. Lectures also make me very sleepy as my classmates (DA-IICTians) very well know :-) but that deserves a blog entry all of its own...
