A week to remember

Is it possible for anyone to work for 16 hrs a day (or more?) with bare minimum sleep continuously for a week? Ask me.

It was just yesterday that someone was talking about Saurav Ganguly making a century after a run draught of two years. I was thinking..What the hell? Was there a cricket match going on? Where am I? In Antarctica? This is me. A person who almost never missed a cricket match for almost two years.

I have made a tacit deal with the paperwallah to pay him 50 bucks every month whether or not he drops in the paper. What difference did it make? I wasn't even touching the paper anyway nowadays.

A sudden and over whelming revelation has just occured to me a few days back. When I shared this with some of my friends, to my surprise and even their's, they agreed with me. We currently found ourselves woefully short of preparation for the end terms. This was after mugging almost every day (OK. Not in the amounts I just described, but still..mugging is mugging). Initially I thought this was because of my own talent of mugging without returns. But so many facing the same situation made me rethink.

I've started liking normal working days these days. Coz on sundays I find no free time! This system tests our limits. The limits to endure extreme amounts of mental strains. I envy myself when I think about those days back home when I had so much more time.

On a parting note, I might have sounded a bit melodramatic. If you think I sounded too unbelievable, then I was not melodramatic!
