Weekends….

With the coming of corporate culture in our country the trend of weekends also has started. Okay for those,who are not aware of this term in corporate sense means simply having an off on Saturday and Sunday. So its 5 days a week u work and the rest of the days is a weekend that’s for fun. Everybody looks forward for weekends to come, and weekdays to get over soon. As I am also a part of this corporate culture I also look forward to them. There’s always some or the other plan for weekends. I always try to make some plans, and if I have none I prefer going for a movie. So most of the times I don’t have any plans, so I plan to watch movies and ultimately I end up watching all the new releases. That’s my hobby. Once a month I visit home and the rest of the time left I am with my friends over these weekends. Sometimes I get really bored, I do not know what to do. Actually weekends are supposed to be for taking rest, finishing your personnel work and generally for socializing with others and ofcourse meeting up with your boyfriend or girlfriend and for some others it’s spending time with their spouses, etc you can really do a lot of stuff during the weekends. But why do I end up messing the weekend, I don’t take rest, don’t socialize and there is no personal stuff as such to do. I usually get bored, if I go home that’s the only time the weekend falls short of time to me, the rest of the time I am doing nothing.

Last week, my weekend started off in a fast pace. I woke up early, even though on Saturdays and Sundays I prefer to wake up late. But I had to go for a movie with one of my friend’s younger brother. I was to meet him for the first time, so had to be in time. So I got ready, he called me up before time and than we met. It was nice to meet him, I think I did most of the talking. Then we watched this movie Phir Hera Pheri, I didn’t like this movie much because it didn’t make me laugh, but my friend liked it. Then the movie was over, I said bye to him and went to churchgate. I was to meet another friend of mine there, but my friend was busy with some work so could not come. Then I decided to see the place alone, I had been this part of Mumbai many times so I was comfortable. I first went to C2 its Crossroads 2 a mall and also has a movie multiplex Inox there. I was interested to see a movie there but had just seen one in the morning so I decided to watch the next time. I was also very hungry so from there I took a bus to VT. There I had a burger and coke at McDonalds. Then from there I did some road side shopping for some cd holders and all and then I wanted to do some shopping again. So I decided to go to Colaba. I took a bus from Fort to Colaba. I went to Cotton World, its one of my favorite places to shop. I bought a skirt there. Then was just walking around, then it was around 7.00pm so it was my coffee time so, I found a place to have coffee. It was called Leopold, its there in Mumbai since 1871, so it’s a longtime now. I liked the coffee and also the crowd was good. Then from there I went to Nariman point to sit on the seaside. I just love to be there and sit watching the sea. When I see the sea I feel that it never gives up, keeps hitting and coming back again. I also need to be like that never give up, keep struggling in life, okay that’s just my thought. From there I went back to andheri by the local train went home and slept. I had a very long day and also was a good day.

Then came Sunday, I woke up late in the afternoon. I made tea and than ordered for some food. I and my roommate we had lunch together. After that I sat down to read the book my friend gave me it was Ruskin Bond. I read a couple of stories from that and then again was lazing around. Time just kept going, I was getting very bored. I called up my atya i.e. my aunt, but she was also busy that day. So I could not go to her place. Finally, I was getting very bored, in the evening I had a cup of tea and left from my room for some shopping. I bought cards for my cousins and nephew’s birthday. I bought some groceries and than I saw if I could get the movie ticket, but all the shows were houseful. After that I was sitting outside that shopping mall at goregaon its called HUB. When I watched all the people enjoying together, I felt I was so lonely and lost in the crowd. I was feeling very depressed and then I started crying. To top this tragedy, my right eye lens came out and I was left with one lens in my left eye. I don’t know why, but I think I only screw up things and feel bad about them. I have decided now, that I will do something good and constructive during weekends. Like I am planning to join gym, then some music classes and take up some work assignments from home. So this is the story of my weekend, I hope others don’t mess up things the way I do at times.
