Money!

After a week of what seemed to be a "blogger's block", I decided to share the events of the last few days (or maybe just a chain of uneventful days).

The last week has made me realize one important thing.
"Money brings you immense happiness, that sadly lasts before you can bat your eyelid!"
Well the beginning of the week brought me lots of money (no not a lottery, just bonus, which my company lovingly paid me for sticking around for more than 6 months).

My happiness had no bounds; it was the first time that I earned a bonus! Voila!
I spent my entire Sunday, shopping and hopping from one big brand to another, till I realized that it was night.

I slept that night, all alone in my flat with all the recent acquisitions on my bed.
What happens when I wake up the next morning? Pop! All my newly-found happiness has disappeared from the window. I'm in my flat, still alone and unhappy.

That is what your career gives you from time to time. Lots of money, but no one to share it with. On my way to office that day, I recalled good old college days; lots of fun, frolic, laughter and happiness. Days would pass without lavish dinners, new clothes, visits to multiplexes...always a liquidity crunch! The days were more of chai (tea) in a local chai shop, mouthwatering Maggi for meals, old pair of jeans and prime time movies on our laptops with friends.

Yes gone are those days. Now the money doesn't help get me back the friends and the carefree days…
