My idea of an almost perfect day ...

got up today at 9:30 and mind you that was early (because i slept at almost 5 this morning .. if you ever have to update 20 MB of virus definitions on norton , you will know why) . anyways had breakfast (always considered it a luxury , so on a perfect day you must indulge in luxuries).

now back to my room . i chalked out a plan for the day (my plans are always strictly acads oriented .. thats because other things just happen .. dont need any planning and those that do can't be disclosed) . it was a modest plan and i started working on it immediately . after an honest hour of silberschaltz , i returned to the comforts of "the telegraph" and my bed .

1:00 p.m. dpc's call woke me up , reminded me of the OS assignment and i needed a bath and some lunch . one thing i discovered today : a great advantage of having short hair (as i presently do) is that you can use one H&S sachet for ages . but if you spend too much time shampooing your hair , you might have to forego your lunch and survive on a couple of chlormints as i had to this afternoon :( . But an ideal day should include skipping one meal to remain in shape ;)

so the afternoon was spent on DC++(lan) trying to download lots of stuff , and a little effort towards my acad plans for the day . and then around 3:30 , i took up the "challenging" assignment of OS with quicksort.s , little knowing that this was going to occupy my intellectual assets for the remaining part of this day .

in between i found time for snacks and dinner (special dinner .. with chicken & ice-cream .. 1 more thing required for an ideal day) . but i actually kept on working on my assignment througout and finally managed to finish it without any help from anyone or dpc (2 different categories ) at 10:30 !!!

but it felt great to have honestly worked for such a long time after such a long time :)
now , obviously my acad plan was far from complete , but i can take pride from the fact i made a sincere attempt :) and thats always a good sign , because sincerity and honesty never go unpaid.

so now a little socialising .. and the world came knocking on my YM door .. after my brief conversations (with some willing and unwilling individuals) .. i settled down cosily around 11 for "The Wedding Date" (now , how can my ideal day be complete without a nice romantic movie)

oh !! and there was another element that still remained to complete my perfect day . and that happened around the stroke of midnight :) Now the best things in life are often left unsaid and let this one be one of them .

and as i wrap up an ideal day (i had decided to write a blog only if i was happy with myself tonight) , i hope to keep having such nice days aplenty in the weeks ahead . when i read this blog , i will remember this day as one when i realized "its the little things and the little efforts that we make , the little moments that we enjoy , the little happiness that we give to others that together make up a big smile and enrapture our heart and soul. "

:) Auf wiedersehen (goodbye in german) :)
