The sequence of events this week…

Shall I count the blessings? Shall I cry at the curse? The days were hectic.

I would describe the last few days as those rare moments when I lost my patience. There was a freelance project, in which the client acted bonkers. I ended up getting calls and messages every hour asking for the status that pissed me off. Finally, I switched off my phone to finish the work and sent an e-mail stating how to deal with me better in future. Rude (from both parts). Isn’t it? In fact, I was disappointed in dealing with a client badly and suddenly lost the energy to do freelance projects. The result – I decided to take a break from freelance works.\

At home, my mother has started acting crazy. She suddenly stopped talking, began behaving rudely to me, to the guests at home, and even to the cat that peeped through the kitchen window. I choose to the path of silence and mind my own business. The result – we have a silent home and bad food.

At the office, my boss has become inquisitive about me. He keeps asking about the status of the works. I’m not in a mood to act good and has decided to send him daily updates about the works. My companion at the office, the girl next cubicle, has abandoned the idea of meeting 'celebrated' human gods, and instead, has decided to find the sadhus living in caves. The result – I’m badly in search of an enlightened sadhu or a guru, who can help her.

The good thing about the week is the movie 'Spotlight'. The movie is an investigative story about child abuse in Churches. Besides the plot, the journalistic take in the movie fascinated me. It ignited my passion for journalism.

It was also the week of Maha Sivaratri. Although I am lazy to celebrate such days, I didn't sleep the entire night due to the freelance projects I mentioned earlier. It was holiday for two days, but, was boring to sit idle at home and truly missed office.

So, here I begin another day, with a focused and purified mind to do office works.
