Re-living good old days!

Well, folks! Just yesterday, I took a vacation of 10 days from the IT life... so... Hooray! However, with no outing plans, am back to the city of Mumbai! So, am experimenting a bit, and would like to live, as I used to... 3.5 years back!!!

This experiment, lasts until Thursday, December 3, which marks the end of my vacation era! Why Dec 3? Well, its a honor to re-join your office on a Friday!

The experiment includes cutting down on many things:

• Cutting down on the use of internet!!! Damn! Believe me, the most difficult part! Used to work with DIAL-UP of MTNL - 56kbps and was patient enough for web to respond! This means:
  

- No logging into facebook (Today was Day no. 1, and I failed. But I just went there to post my experiment status on my activity :) Ok, no excuses! No facebook from now on).
- No blog hovering (God, please please please help me).
- No facebook (I left Orkutting ages ago; Twits don't interest me)
- No commenting on any of the forums.

• No TV at all, and no sleeping in the afternoons. It is only later, that I started to doze off, in the afternoon.
• Cooking (Not that I used to do it that frequently 3.5years back, but hey, should have something to do atleast). Girls, yes, I can cook! And I can cook, really well.
  
• Wise spending on food. That means Cutting down on Restaurants, and thriving on roadside food. And believe me, I am loving it. Mangesh Vada Paav, Aarey Lassi, Shri Raam Snacks, Chaar raste ka patis paav, Naarayan ka sev-puri; the list is endless.
• Just read something physical (news paper, book, etc) until the clock strikes 17:00 hrs, look at my mom, smile, and run out of my house to wander somewhere... Yeah! 17:00-19:30hrs, that's the time, I am waiting for while I write this post.
• Hmm... Studying, while we used to do it in our PL (Preparatory leave) days... can't do this, can we, after 3.5 long years?
  
• Poinsur Gymkhana - The best hangout place during the 4 years of engineering. Have to get my Table Tennis bat out of the rugs. Yeah, its really lying there. And I just met my (our) MENTOR there today. Need to defeat him, now that he's 68!!!
• Sit on my computer (located in the hall), with headphones in my ears! But my mom, has lately stopped watching all those K-Serials!
  
• Re-live those days, when I used to write my thoughts/experiences NOT on a blog, but on a notebook, with a pencil! And draw cartoons, that should come naturally; after all, am practicing it in all the boring meetings, from last 3 years :)
• Meet/Talk_to many old friends.
  
• Watching movies, should be on the list. But cannot do it, with not many friends around.

Will I be able to do it? Hmm... that's why i call it an experiment, of Re-Living Good Old Days!
