Freaky Friday
Disclaimer: This post has got nothing to do with the Hollywood flick with the same title.
This happened nearly five months ago. I was walking to my office hurriedly. When the stop light at the intersection near to my office turned from blinking "Don't walk" to a solid sign, I kicked the ground. The girl next to me smiled and said, "Relax, it's Friday".
A couple of weeks before I was sitting at my desk, with a tired face and weird look at the monitor. My colleague entered with a "Hi". I smiled... a troubled smile. He said - "At last it's Friday!"
So, what's in store for this weekday? Do the two holidays following this day make it so special? Or is it the past four working days? Why we entertain it so much than the other six days?...Whatever be the reason we do have a soft corner for this day and we can never deny it.
Me no different. I am all excited when I approach Thursday. Make plans for the weekend. Nope! Not the party arrangements you may be tempted to think. I schedule my weekend duties. Duties that I never did in the past five days and truly never going to be completed soon anyways. My Fridays are spent in planning, replanning, preplanning and all other activities that have suitable prefix with plan. Maybe I love prefixes so much that I seldom prefer to add complete my plans and add suffices to it. What on this earth could me made just in forty-eight hours of laziness that was not even dared to be started in the other 120 hours? I don't know. But still I make my plans.
Where am I going wrong? Is that the act of getting up at 10 AM on weekends being included in my agenda or getting a shower at 3 PM makes the difference? I really can't say. Afterall, I am being honest to me - executing some atleast, not all of my listed duties. I still remember the fact that was told to me in my childhood, "If you plan ten different things you may end up doing atleast four successfully". It's true. I feel uncomfortable to waste my holidays unplanned. Now I don't waste my time as I am smart enough to scheme everything for my holidays including rest!
Before I wrap things up I must say, for some reason, I am reminded of this line from 'Jeans', "indru oayivu thane velai...aanaalum oayinthu poavathillai..." I don't know why and I don't want to. Simple. I can't afford to pass my Friday plain. You know well. I have a lot of planning to do!
