just when i thought everything was falling into place, it happened. The 'ladke lenge' attitude that i left at the doorstep of jadavpur university needed to be revived...starting afresh, not losing hope even when there is not a single ray of light...'Fight!' 'Fight!' i said to myself.....the days are miserable...who knew 120 seconds could be sooo long, 24 hrs in a day is such a huge time that a man can spend his lifetime in that period... passing time by staring at the window is the toughest job in the world, and those who can do it with a smile, are the most courageous people in the world....night time is predictable....again u stare by the window, listen to the weird sounds and watch the night fading into dawn...and then i realize yet another night has passed without sleep...to get out of these i talk to friends, they are comforting, understanding but that is not enough......colleagues- we are in the same boat, but their whining makes me sick....and then there are people who love to sympathize, take pleasure in others pain....but, they are more entertaining than the aboves....i often enjoy talking to them.....but, still the day does not pass.....in last 5 yrs, or more than that.....i hardly ever got to spend a holiday.....it was a long time i watched day turn into dusk...or relaxing on Sundays....i often complained about that, who knew GOD was listening!!.....anyways, it sucks!!! watching so many thing happening around the globe and I'm not a part of it makes me feel awful....but, i know the wheel of time will turn, I'll have my chance....the best of it.....there will be days when I'll be running all day and night for work.....may be, I'll crave for holidays again...who knows!!!
and when i get older, I'll tell my juniors its an evil thing to get holidays...they will think I'm a jerk, who just wants to make them work harder.....but they don't know that the best way to punish a working journalist is to send him on a month-long holiday.....
