Gilgorithm of a lazy day :D

Step 1: Just open one ear to the tenth shriek of your name call from mom.

Step 2: Spend the next ten minutes contemplating should you open your eyes or not.

Step 3: Open one eyelid to pre-empt any projectile coming your way with anti-projectile shield (aka) pillow. (More applicable incase if you've sibling and if they get up before you in all this ruckus)

Step 4: If answer for step 3 is YES..spend the next half hour contemplating whether you need to go to office today or take off

Step 5: Previous step will continue all the way from bed to bathroom and back and before brushing teeth the all important decision of what reason should be texted to bunk office has to be taken (The all important assumption here being..like any positive person you would decide to take off. If you are the negative kind who give up easily on earthly pleasures you can enjoy on your day off then the pseudo code ends here for you).

Step 6: Promise mom that you would wind up finishing the tasks for next ten years today itself, though she would be bright enough to spot the lie, the usual bribe of a bear hug will see you through.

Step 7: Next step would be to decide the script for the SMS to be texted to office.

Step 8: Once all the above steps are done now comes the part of fulfilling the tasks.

Step 9: Take task 1. Before even you can begin the sweet aroma from kitchen will make you apparate to the dining table even before the dish completes the travel from kitchen to the table.

Step 10: This step goes through multiple iterations and is never quite complete till all the resources are compleeeeteeeely utilised.

Step 11: Contemplate on going back to step 9. Though the thought of revisiting step 10 is enticing its laced with potential risk of getting beaten by mom.

Step 12: One look at the forlorn pillow, the famous axiom of "Do, not what you can do tommorow, today" comes to rescue. Go to step 1.

Ramesh said…
Me suspects that the gilgorithm will be completely different after a certain occurrence in gils' life. New gilgorithm as follows

- Tring Tring . Alarm goes off at 4.00 AM. Sprightly gils jumps off bed with great alacrity

- No time for coffee/tea/whatever. Gils straight to kitchen

- Next one hour; gils making lunch and dinner

- Tiffin boxes being packed up

- All of a sudden its bright outside. Gils maks bed coffee for Senora

- Gils wakes up Senora. Senora gives him gilgorithm treatment which gils had mastered in yester years.

- Bed coffee goes cold. Gils makes a fresh cup

- Senora texts bunking office. Gils runs helter skelter to catch bus/Tata Sumo/train/...........

Ode to the Nice Guys

This is a tribute to the nice guys. The nice guys that finish last, that never become more than friends, that endure hours of whining and bitching about what assholes guys are, while disproving the very point. This is dedicated to those guys who always provide a shoulder to lean on but restrain themselves to tentative hugs, those guys who hold open doors and give reassuring pats on the back and sit patiently outside the changing room at department stores. This is in honor of the guys that obligingly reiterate how cute/beautiful/smart/funny/sexy their female friends are at the appropriate moment, because they know most girls need that litany of support. This is in honor of the guys with open minds, with laid-back attitudes, with honest concern. This is in honor of the guys who respect a girl's every facet, from her privacy to her theology to her clothing style. This is for the guys who escort their drunk, bewildered female friends back from parties and never take advantage once they...

Padithathil pidithathu

Few authors thrill us to read more of their creations. At times its sheer luck that we might end up with the worse of their lot and might give up on them only to find many other good ones which we would've ignored based on first impression. James Rollins is one such author. My friend's sister introduced me to "Map of Bones" and told me that its in the same genre of "Davinci Code" and since i am a sucker for adventure series she recommended this one to me, with a warning that, at times this guy goes over the board like Ludlum in describing situations. With that warning in mind i began the book. I took my own sweet time to finish it but the book kept me interested. However many times i kept it down i always went for it again to know what happened next. In the end, i pretty much liked the story, though it was totally unbelievable. The story is about the bones of the Three wise men or Magi who visited Jesus when he was a kid. Their bones held a clue to a vast so...

Hearbeat - season 2 - review

What makes a drama series tick, in OTT, that too in Tamil? The question should've been pretty straight forward and not as difficult as it is for making a successful movie, for drama series are dime a dozen across scores of TV channels and none of them are found wanting for audience. The more the cry the merrier the TRP. In that context, the only challenge that OTT platforms might've had while streaming tamil series must've been to choose the path - either the well trodden and worn out cryathons aligning with Satellite channels or try for something genre specific like how they do across English and other foreign languages. This is where Heartbeat series in Hotstar finds the fine balance between being a soap oppaari (no pun intended) in tv and carving a niche OTT audience.  While the setup might've been familiar one for Hindi audience with so many series happening on hospital based storyline, i guess this is a first for tamil. The first season was more on establishing the...
