Sharing The Joy

I just realised that I have just about a week left at work. I’m quite depressed about the whole thing. Work is exciting. I feel inadequate ALL the time, and it seems like everyone who speaks around me is always just a syllable away from losing me, but I enjoy every moment of it all! I think I have said that one too many times.

I’ve actually got a lot of that lately. I am working in the most amazing place in the world. I am staying with my closest friends in the world. My cousins are about to have their Arangetram and they are going to be awesome. My guide and his boss and practically everyone here are so cool and fun to be around! So I have loads of things to be happy about right now. I have never actually been so happy with EVERYTHING in my life, and lately I’ve noticed that I’m actually the only one who cares!! And those who are nice enough to pretend that they do think I’m weird. But then, since this is my blog…so there.

I never run out of stories to tell about this place. SOMETHING funny, or interesting, or confusing has always happened. One particularly eventful day, Parita, Aunty Rajni and Uncle Manu were driving home from work from Bugis. I think I talked to Parita about work the ENTIRE drive home. And by the time I realised that I was talking so much, we were home! =D But then, she is equally thrilled with her job, so she then talked to me about HER job! Not everyone is that interested though.

In one conversation with a friend, I asked what exciting plans she had for the summer. She replied “Oh! Loads of fun things planned! I’m gonna get at least 3 piercings, and cut my hair and get a completely new look! Well, I think that’s exciting. Your idea of exciting is probably reading a book.” Yeesh. So, I’ve become more conscious about talking about work now. Other people want to talk about more interesting things. Like – guys, or piercing, or what whose boyfriend bought what for her and how cute it all is. Eh. Oh well…

I guess I’ve realised that everyone has their own idea of excitement, or fun. I suppose the majority of people reading this think my job is the most boring thing on the planet…but that doesn’t make any less overwhelmingly cool for me. So, if I were to use a cliché, “to each his own”! What say you??
