My Zombie Days

There is something very peculiar happening inside us when we think about the weekend. To some it's like manna from heaven to escape the harsh realities of Monday to Friday. However most of us who don't party every day would beg to differ.

In Thailand,Bangkok in particular..every work day,week day is like a milestone. Every single seat at pubs ,restaurants is taken at the end of each work day.One would wonder if for thai people every day is an excuse to celebrate.

Johnnie walker,sangsom,100 pipers,regency,singha are the favorite playmakers on tiring weekdays.Weekends are more for rest and rejuvenation.

My weekends for the past few years start late in the afternoon on Saturday and Sunday. Thus effectively I utilize only a part of the weekend,which by the time I realize it's manic monday again.

I have to get myself rescued from this zombie culture. Every weekend has to be a journey ,a discovery of new unknowns but alas the travesty of life..some things just don't happen the way you want them.

I do have a new passion,twittering,it's much better than chattering. Express your views and delight in the musings of others. Be a free Twitter bird in twitterverse.

BTW...hope next weekend will be bigger and better...yes coz it's a long weekend..

Cheers

Sunday musings

Holiday season 2009 is just round the corner...streets,malls,institutions you name it..everyone is geared up.

Retailers worldwide are confident that this year sales will be back to status quo. Optimism is omnipresent..we thrive on it.

Yesterday there was a serious debate on BBC about Obama being awarded the Nobel peace prize. One gentleman from Cambridge remembered the time when Mahatma Gandhi did not get the Nobel ...yes it did not create a very big controversy during that time.This year Obama getting the prize certainly proves that two wrongs certainly don't make it right.
The panel was unanimous in their opinion that although there were more deserving candidates..the choice was an inspiring one..and the ramnifications of which will be truly known in the not too distant feature...

Listening to Sunday bloody Sunday by U2...Bono what a guy and a real activist at heart..maybe someday U2 may get the peace prize ...they have my vote...

Gawshh...why is wave fm playing Duran Duran now after U2...

Cheers everyone

I'll see y'all later

Weekend retreat...

Feels kind of surreal to be experiencing a whiff of winter air in Bangkok . It's been a late Saturday morning after a really late Friday night watching reruns of all tv shows this week.

Weekends make one feel liberated from the rigours of the entire week...but does it really matter...party..sleep late..get up late and before you know it's Monday morning.

Hope I can salvage some fun and games during the remaining 36 hours..cheers to that mates..
