One thing I have learnt in my short stint in corporate life is that:

The only way to avoid work is to finish it off.

This is a lesson that didn't come very easily to me, personally. A huge chunk of the all-work-no-life months has slapped the above fact right on my face.

As the school-teachers used to say:
"Kal kare so aaj kar
Aaj kare so ab"Man ( Read more... )

philo, work

all-work-no-life months

And who's to blame eh?

Fight Club in Hindi coming up, wheeeee....should be funny!

kshah February 15 2006, 03:46:41 UTC

Who's to blame? Definitely not me!

Yes. hemantk did warn me of your peculiar attraction towards the muscle-bound men in the Hindi version of "Fight Club" fake-slugging it out with each other. Weirdass!

What happened to Urban Hiking? Didja read the post on "Bangalore Walks" in bangalore? Maybe we can arrange for our own beer walk!

Urban Hiking...hmmm. Sometime. Let's see. Yeah I saw the post about the Bangalore Walks. Interesting concept.

As for the beer walk. It's been done before - called the Pub Crawl. Although walking is not mandatory it is inevitable since all the pubs to be visited are in the same area. Yeah, we could do this too.

See...there's so much to do. I'm feeling tired already. :D

And i thought the best way to finish a work is avoid it.

>The only way to avoid work is to finish it off.

Err...no. The only way to avoid work is to pass it on to someone else and take credit for the finished product. And you claim to have worked in the corporate world?

kshah February 20 2006, 08:10:19 UTC

Yep; unfortunately -- with the complex mechanisms in place here -- there's absolutely no person to pass the work on to.

I am at the bottom of the food chain here...
