2. Every weekend morning will see a debate within you...the side which wants to seize the day, go meet friends, pursue hobbies, all that jazz. The other side wants to just pull up the blanket and go right back to sleep. Mostly, the latter wins. Carpe diem, my foot :|
3. You are jealous of college kids from the bottom of your heart. Okay, make that anyone who falls in the vague category of 'students'. You hate that they wear faded jeans, do tp in coffee shops, speed around in bikes...okay, the very fact that they exist and are visible makes you realise how exponentially boring your own life has become, in comparison.
4. You realise the power of the 'chai'. Or coffee for that matter. The only thing with the ability to draw you away from sleep and impending doom. A toast to the guy with the goats in Arabia who figured how coffee works :D
5. If campus was arbitness, then you ain't seen nothing yet...Dilbert rocks. Totally :D
6. Continuing on the same note, your realize the power of the 'Boss'. This guy who can make work exciting or turn your life into hell. I mean, you may have encountered an odd prof who remembered u slept through his classes and gave u trouble....but wait till you start working. If you are an atheist, this guy is the best chance you will start praying.
7. The concept of perfection slightly loses its touch. I mean, you want every bit of what you do to be perfect and stand up to all scrutiny but on a Saturday evening, when you are asked to change the colour of the 120th slide AGAIN, you start losing it...
8. You feel like kicking yourself for not training to HR. I mean, there is this bunch which sends colourful mails and preppy posters, plans parties and takes an insanely long time to do something as ridiculously simple like clearing a bill which needs zero IQ...and gets paid handsomely for its inefficiency. And you are not one of them!!! (okay, all you IRs out there, don't kill me. Had to do a bit of HR bashing, now that I am working and all :D :D )
9. You no more get to mouth stuff like I want to change the world or ensure world peace when elders ask you what you do/want to do. You instead say you work in a soap manufacturing company and discuss the processes involved and the ingredients needed. The kind of conversation you were making fun of, not so long ago :(
10. You feel rebellious for wearing jeans to office. Damn!!

I stumbled onto this blog by chance... {Blame Google}
But I can't help remark that this tone seems quite familiar - Who is Sharanya? Surely someone I'd love to admire... :)
I'm one of those people who fall into the vague category of 'students' and there is no such thing as a weekend. It's just you, the library, academic journals and a computer. Full stop.
I love the last line of number 6. So true :D
@ Mudra: thunku :)
@ Naween: I absolutely refuse to grow up and old :P
@ Puneet: Now u know :)
@ Rupal: was mentioning the regular student category, not outliers like Your Royal Nerdiness :P :P

Anyways it is awesome....btw we wear jeans and t shirts to office :)

...though was a bit of strain on my old eyes with the bluish background and white font. btw, reading your blog keeps on cajoling me to get back to blogging...
the letters in the word verification displayed are " g a L a X y"
sooner or later, the terror of weekdays are going to gulp away the weekends
