Indian Bachelor Weekend in US

Have u ever wondered ...

How do we the so called S/W geeks spend weekend... (no offence to my community)

I am talking about Indian guys / girl deputed to US by firms like TCS ...

One of the major intentions of people joining S/W firms in India is to grab a opportunity of flying to US ... all about being paid in $$$

Some get lucky soon while others hv to work on it

Well... coming to the point ...

Here is how we bachelors spend weekend

Weekdays goes in wait for weekwnd... and when weekend comes; we do nothing... sometimes it becomes difficult to even spend those 2 days - Sat and Sun

Online movies and DVDs from free library are the main go...

fun? yeah.... Rather I call it Hobson's choice

Some people can be found online on Google talk all the time...

looking to find someone; whom they never find...

changing custom message ... changing snap... Keep them busy

Orkut craze is high....

Its easy to see people over any trip only focussed on getting a best snap for orkut!!! Believe it

Here is how time ticks for these guys ... changing snap ... scrap at times...

never finding any meaningful scrap...

the generic message sent

'are yaar bhul gaye kya? Kabhi yaad bhi kar liya karo'

(Hey, do you still remmember me? sometime atleast remmember me)

... the funny part is that neither party is least interested to hear about the other...

More strange is we have hundreds of people added to our friend list whom we barely know...

Whatever... 90% time is still spent in front of Laptops! Personal or office

This is another thing that you will need to believe it.

Chatting... How can I forget to mention it...
I mean chatting with unknown over Yahoo Messenger etc... one day I find someone

Youtube is next in the list of favourites.

Sleeping... aha .. offcourse! We guys love it
Staying awake late browsing browsing and browsing...
one of the qualities inherited from college; however it used to be fun at college since you used to be awake in a group...
Waking up late... and realizing 'Oh God! Half the day is already gone'

Next in the list are...

Cooking for a while or cleaning house sometimes... Passion for some; necessity for others.

Going out for buying groceries...

You love it at start but slowly you start disliking it...

not again going to Indian store, Walmart, Shoprite...

Guys definetly start hating it soon

Gym for few people...

Change in food / climate often result in gaining weight ....

table-chair-PC professionals like us are very prone to it...

howsoever u work out; at times the curve keeps moving forward and so is the curvature... you realize it more when you take out clothes for taking bath... Yell!!

In summer we are able to go for swimming / playing some sports... though rare we go

Few people dread of having a fortune spent; if they step outside their home...

since $ was what we came for in US... you need to count on each one... though later you realize that you can get back $ but not time gone

Can you believe it that some people r able to pass weekend without even stepping out of there house once?

Common question ... when two people meet ...

"What plans for weekend?"

(It saves you lot of effort in putting a more meaningful question)

If the answer to above question is 'No Plans'... you get a pity look 'Poor guy!'

We humans keep making things complicated...

Keep looking for better things /time ...

Keep telling lies of how happy we are; even if we feel miserable

Guru Mantra -

First try to find time to check on your some friend or call your friends in. Being with friends is the best way to spend weekend.

Second 'Go Creative over weekend' :)
