weekends..a fast catching phenomena

finally the much awaited weekend has come,yes 3 days in a row(gods must be crazy)and the sad part is that its already halfway through....the ironical part of weekends is that by the time you come in the mood...(yeah ,its the lassitude and unavoidable languor which the weekend instills)its gone and monday comes mocking at you..and being a true believer in the credo that "all work and no play makes jack a dull boy"i would jus like to say that the concept of "weekend "in essence is something which the indians where unfamiliar with uninitially but slowly the concept is catching up with one and all...for example to begin with, let me quote various perspective which people have about weekends...
i give the honours first to my "kaamwaali" who gets so euphoric upon even the mere mention of sunday(ya for them its a relatively shorter one day but still)....but for us(the working lot)its like our condition gets exacerbated all of a sudden on that particular holiday which surfaces like a hydra headed monster , once you face harsh realities in the form of unwashed utensils deriding you ,the ohhhh--soooo clean mosaic of our living rooms reminding you that you walk on them on your own risk and the unkempt(i don know a word better than that to describe our clothes)clothes which metamorphose into a "dusting cloth"in want of "safai...." in the absence of "kaam waali"......

secondly ,i would like to expatiate about my concept of weekends which essentially begins with sleeping and ends with sleeping...(i am getting a a barbaric yawn ahhhhhhhhhh.......even while writing)....frankly speaking i am not one of those wanderlust kind who thinks that weekends are meant not to stay at home...call it my letharginess or whatever, but for me getting a good sleep is something akin to a holiday package in "elysium"...its such a rejuvenating experience that it finetunes your body for the gruelling week ahead............and to talk about weekends without mentioning about another of my endearing passions would be an unpardonable offense which i dont want to commit......yes watching good movies gives me my required dose of "KICKS"which fills in void(read dullness)created by merely sleeping like a log of wood......anyways this weekend i watched another "phenomenal "movie called "the curious case of benjamin button"which indeed satiated my optical buds(i dont know if their exists any),fulfilled my desire of being a intelligent viewer of an intellactually stimulating movies and above all made me mull over the fact that when will the day come when our indian directors will make a sensible movie and i will for sure ,go on a chest thumping spree, giving an eye for eye to everyone who have been criticizing hindi movies from time immemorial........so that in essence gives you the delineated version of my concept of weekends....ohh i forget to mention one of the recent things i have learned in bangalore,that is ,cooking and trust me friends now i can say with my head held high that "mai apney pairo pey kahda hun literally ".....learning cooking was indeed an eye opener in many ways ..first and foremeost it made me realise how my mother toiled hard all day to prepare gustatory delights for us and like a true cynic(read connoissuer)i used to dish out every word of praise for food with extreme frugality and precision so that she shouldnt be complacent (see how thoughtful i was)......talking about another eyeopeners was instilling in me the confidence that yes" i can make a difference"(remember together we can and we will of sohaib illiyasi of india's most wanted fame)albeit in small measures .....and most importantly the belief that boys no longer need to depend upon girls ...now thats what i call "QUASI male empowerment"(never heard off......) which is a beffiting reply to a female chauvinist who once said that "we(women) don't need men"...young lady we also don believe in mincing words..we mean it.........so that in a nutshell sums it all about weekends a rapidally catching phenomena....
knock knock..who is there???another weekend knocking at the doorsteps...........
