Given this backdrop, I never thought I would appreciate the concept of a mandatory two week vacation from office so much. But now that I'm living those two weeks - Don't stop me now....cause I'm having a good time :)
No deadlines to meet, no 2 hrs to travel, no Mumbai heat. I finally traveled for "non-business" purposes in 2009. Vizag and Hyderabad - rediscovered how much I loved teaching.. when I taught my 4th std, 6th std and 12th std cousins maths. Rediscovered the music of the Beatles, Queen, Freddie Mercury's immaculate voice, the joy of singing aloud with friends in a fast moving car - playing the board game of pictionary with so much focus that you forget everything else in the world, losing and winning at games of poker.
Am now about to head out with old friends, together at one place after 6 years - one's broken his neck and the other's been sleepless in some remote place, very much like that Tom Hanks, Meg Ryan movie that you've seen. The location is ditto.
Meg Ryan- I came across a sketch of hers I was gifted, that came with a really clever joke. Goes up on the pin-board over my desk today.
** For people who have not already, please listen to this song called "Don't stop me now" by Queen, its fantastic
