Absolutely Manic Monday yesterday. The weekend was fairly non active. Saw a pathetic Bollywood movie on Friday, cant wait for Slumdog Millionnaire to release soon. Got myself a "wedding dress" and studied a bit on Saturday. Had coffee with my munchkin, my best friend on Saturday night, we spoke of our mutual woes in a fairly philosophical way and Sunday, I was a good family member and met with an Aunt who visited us from LA and gave us updates on my various cousins i had no idea about and spoke of the recession in the Us and the Obama hope, I politely excused myself at night and caught this almost delightful play called "Jake's Women" completely star studded turn out, the artsy whose who, anyway Il refrain from gossip and get back to Monday.
The thing about my Mondays off late is that I am quite Non-Motivated to come to work, the tourism industry is not doing well, we have seen some major budget cuts affecting our Marketing plans, I'm still getting used to dealing with my new boss and its just not a happy scene. The travel struggle hasn't got any better( O FYI: I travel through challenging, weathered infrastructure for an hour an a half each day to come to work, that 3 hrs total each day of my precious life. I dont want to start multiplying the no. of days i have been travelling and get into a different sad loop here) so basically there wasn't a spring in my step this Monday. And then i began to over pressurise myself to shake the feeling and that led to a viscous cycle and it led to a fight with my boy friend!
But I am going to start working on "positive". I accept that i need to tranquilize myself. I finally started reading Atlas Shrugged this weekend, which has added the whole question, rebel, think and rethink and over think to my already similarly inclined frame of mind. But I cannot stop reading it. To sooth my nerves, i solemnly swear that the next book i read will be "The Secret". I promise not to be suspicious about it and to accept and willingly try to accept. Its worked for a lot of people I have been told. Strangely though I have come across anyone who says - "It worked for ME" (Devil: God i hate self help books, Angel: Try it it will work for you) ARRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH lets see how it goes.
At the moment though, I cant wait to read the next Chapter of my current book.
Who is John Galt? ;)
