Its Sunday today, and as usual I am sitting home and doing nothing, so thought of writing a blog on weekends? Tomorrow, it’s Monday, and there is one dreaded question which I quite often face.” How was your Weekend?”
Coupled with Monday morning blues, Monday therefore becomes my worst day of the week. However, most people ask this question to beat their Monday morning blues!!! So on each Monday I am completely dumbfounded and speechless to this intrusive question, not which I care about it though. My friends know me as a no-party animal (they call me Xenophobic sometimes and much to their annoyance I don’t have girlfriend too). As a result, I prefer staying at my home-sweet-home.
I try to think of various answers but unfortunately I am not able to get it. So I give the answer – I was at home. But people don’t stop at this point. They would like to know the reason that why was I at home and not utilizing the weekend more productively.
Why can’t I just sit at home and do nothing? I like doing nothing and just contemplate for hours and hours about myriad things happening in my life and all around. I think of the past which is never going to come back and future which is beyond my control. So thinking is what I do over the weekend. But who is going to understand that explanation so I add to the above answer that I saw some episodes of Carolyne in the City and The Big Bang Theory episodes. Sometimes I also say that I read few books and comics (though sometimes I genuinely do that).
Next time someone’s asks me this ubiquitous question, I will divert them to this blog. So I will summarize some answers for them.
•I do nothing (if they stop at this – end conversation, and speak of something else, else give the following answers)
•I watched BBT and CITC (some would be satisfied with this answer – Sorry I can’t remember episodes names)
•I read some books and Comics (Calvin and Hobbes)
•I was at my friends place (chatting with him)
•I was at Bombay
All these answers will become repetitive in course of time and hence I have to think of some new ones. But atleast I am preparing the list, have you started yet??
