Probably nostalgia doesn't quite fit what I'm feeling today..but I don't have the right word...
I'm going to miss using the huge, heavy, slightly crazy laptop. I am going to miss lugging it up and down the stairs..juggling between call centre exec and counsellor roles. I will miss the monkey wallpaper in my counselling room. And meeting new people everyday, with new stories. I will miss seeing my old clients' progress. I will miss cribbing about the insanely unreal expectations of the job, and the weird zeal to do it all anyway. I will miss being alone in a building full of people. I will miss the super sweet guards and cleaning aunties. And I'll miss the bhaiyas who get me coffee everyday. I'll miss watching the clock at 3 and sitting up to the clink of mugs. I'll miss typing out the randomest of emails. I will miss posing to be an 'expert'! I'll miss the long discussions...the far fetched plans..the excitement at the slightest hint of funding! I will miss being the one who knows it all. I will miss this place!

Lazy sunday rant
For the last nine months, my weekends have been a day long. Anyone with a 6 day work-week can well understand the plight of having one measly day off... By the time you set into your off-mode, half the day is gone! And with it, half your weekend!
We 6-day-weekers don't have the luxury to allow the weekend to 'set in'...so even though I'm dead tired by the end of a working Saturday, I'll make it a point to be in a 'different' mood. Perhaps it is the anticipation of sleeping in the day after. Or just the paranoia of not letting a precious Saturday night slip away! And then dawns Sunday...which is always shorter than allllllll the other days. A list of chores, pending visits, catchup calls...and at the same time a nagging thought at the back of my mind 'only x hours to before I'm back to my work week'
Well, that's how most of my Sundays are. But every once in a while, I'm blessed with a no-agenda-lazy-Sunday, and this is my absolute favourite! Today has been one such day. After a late breakfast, I spent most of my morning and a better part of the afternoon watching one of my favourite melodramas on TV. Followed by a great ordered-in lunch, watching the rain, browsing through pictures and updates of random Facebook friends, a nap and a slowwwww relaxed shower. Needless to say, that leaves me in quite a good place :D
So even though Monday looms ahead, and I have a zillion thoughts about the coming week zipping through my mind, I have a smile on my lips...Happy Sunday to you too!
