I'm solidly "benched"....
I mean, my hands are tied and I need to spend 9.5 hours in the office campus. The office library positively stinks so reading book to pass time is out of question. I can't bring myself to read Paulo Coelho or Edward Bono. I have nothing against them but I can't read their books, not now atleast. Neither can I cram techie stuff, I still curse the day I took to Engineering. Maybe I can try and excel here but the point is just that I'm not interested!!
GRE/GMAT/GATE preparation is not a good idea too. That leaves me with the option of browsing the net all day long which unfortunately gets to me thanks to the 20min time out procedure here.
What cannot be cured, has to be endured!! Which is what I'm convincing myself to somehow do. I mean, I'm "benched" and so going through all this. It can't get worse, right??
I mean.. The no-place-so-sit-on-cafeteria-building-steps and jobless-so-kill-time-browsing-the-net and so on.. Every single day of my life seems pointless and worse, I can't do anything about it..
This has been the scenario for the past 6-8 weeks, though I must admit I had my cubicle back then. And heck, this is the scenario in most places.
God!! How did I end up here?? When will this end?? For the good.....
I just remembered that verse from Shankaracharya's Bhaja Govindam...
"Punarapi jananam punarapi maranam
punarapi jananii jathare shayanam
iha samsaare bahudustaare
kripayaa apaare paahi muraare...."
[Born again, death again, birth again to stay in the mother's womb ! It is indeed hard to cross this boundless ocean of samsara. Oh Murari ! Redeem me through Thy mercy....]
Amen!
