    Red face What are you *supposed* to be doing right now!?

    I know, I know, you're here, but what are you really supposed to be doing right now?

    What are you procrastinating about? What have you shoved to the bottom of your "To Do" pile, again? That 5-page essay that is giving you nightmares?

    Is that pile of laundry still looming but you just don't look in its direction? Are you eating stale crackers and peanut butter because you can't face grocery shopping?

    Is the light flashing on your phone that you have 12 new messages from your Aunty Bert in Miami who needs to tell you about her cats' gastrointestinal problems? Do you quickly close the browser window when you realise you are now up to 59 unanswered family emails? Haven't done that back up of your computer's hard drive this week/month yet?

    Has your "To Read" pile migrated/spread from your bedside table/coffee table/desk etc. to the floor?
    Are the magazines/newspapers in your "To Read" pile more than six months old?

    I am supposed to be prepping my garden planters but it's really really windy out and I don't want the dirt to blow in my eyes/face
    that's a good excuse, right?

    Well, we should study for the art history test tomorrow, or social studies test on Thursday or the history exam next Monday.
    But...nah.
    If you believe even a half of this post, you are severely mistaken.

    I am supposed to be studying about WAPT 4.0, a load testing tool that I use for my work Why did I take up such a job, where I have to still study to keep myself updated?

    I also need to tidy my bed. It's only second day of the week, and half of the clothes from my wardrobe are already on the bed. In the weekend I make my room tidy, but, come Friday all the clothes, books, papers are lying on my bed, with me sleeping over. Do I sound crazy?

    Heh, I am supposed to be studying at the moment too.

    Oh this Mathematics annual exam! It's the first one and if it went bad, I wouldn't be able to concentrate on others thinking why I didn't study for it. But then I feel too lazy to study at the moment.

    Trying to forget someone you love is like trying to remember someone you have never met.

    :-) Madhuri, knowing the truth is good. Finding an excuse for it - is even better :-)

    I am just trying to save myself from harsh realities of life. I am not asking for too much, am I? I love being lost in my thoughts So, no more truths from now on, please . Day dreaming is so much easier, tidying a room takes a lot of energy, I am saving all of it
