Goodbye Leisure

Goodbye Leisure.
Goodbye to the “just 15 mins more” excuse before waking up.
Goodbye to sipping my tea while checking my blog stats.
Goodbye to gossiping with mom on gtalk.
Goodbye to breakfasts with Saif while watching “Mad about you” episodes.
Goodbye to five minute hug-fests before he finally left for office.
Goodbye to enjoying my company all by myself.
Goodbye to the noon time silence where I am all alone in the apartment.
Goodbye to marathons of Italian and French movies.
Goodbye to the pleasure of watching light change colors as the day progressed.
Goodbye to scouring the net to find new recipes.
Goodbye to reading inane trivia on wiki and imdb.
Goodbye to having lunch in the silence and comfort of one’s dining table.
Goodbye to long luxurious baths while listening to old love songs.
Goodbye to afternoon naps.
Goodbye to eating oranges in the afternoon while reading new blog entries.
Goodbye to useless discussions with friends on chat.
Goodbye to evening walks to Cuesta Park.
Goodbye to spending insane amounts of time in the library.
Goodbye to wasting an entire day on a post…only to delete it at the end of the day.
Goodbye to another beautiful phase in my life
Goodbye Leisure.
I am starting work tomorrow. Very excited! Slightly melancholic.
Enjoyed the suspense build-up.
Good luck to you!
Hey all the very best! I hope you find many interesting blogworthy weirdos at your work place
Congratulations & all the best!
You know every working stiff that read this post is going to be saying, “Afternoon naps!? Hmmmph- serves her right.”
Just kidding. Good luck with the job. Break a leg or two.

p.s. you forgot “goodbye to spending an insane amount of time memorizing every dialog in every episode of Friends”
p.p.s. Five minute hug-fests and jobs are not mutually exclusive.
@Aram,Parijata& Shubha,
Thanks!
@Vasuki,
Cant blog abt colleagues..but hopefully will find something interesting on the long commute!
@BPSK,
How could I forget FRIENDS?!? I can also add Mad about you,Sex and the city,Frasier,The 70s show..to that list!
we have mini hug-fests thru the day…but there is something abt standing near the door refusing to let the other person go!
Not the same when you both r hurrying out of the door…
Were you really having such a great time?!
All the best and hope not all of the goodbyes on the above list stand true.
@ Madhuri,
As cheesy as it sounds…I was. But then I also enjoyed immensely my life as a single working gal in blore including the 2 hr traffic jams on Hosur Road!
(I even wrote a post abt things I love abt Hosur Road)
Hey, I just thought about this…is the “Goodbye to…” series in any way inspired from “Choose…” series from ‘Trainspotting’?
@Vasuki,
Unfortunately no….
Two days before I joined work..I had gone to the library.All the trees in the nearby park were in full bloom. It hit me that I will not see it in the morning sun for a while.
I started thinking(wailing) about all the things I would miss…and then wrote this post!
Congratulations! I figured, right after reading the first three lines……my wife can soooooo relate to this before she started working!!!
One thing though…..I don’t see why this should ever stop:
“Goodbye to five minute hug-fests before he finally left for office.”
‘Can’t blog about Colleagues…’ Why?? Just don’t give them your blog address
Seems like “good old days”…
2 hours on Hosur road? it is increasing by the day
