So it’s my 3rd weekend at SIBM today. Yes, we have a weekend off on Friday. I have the same feeling today as I used to have on every Friday while in the IT industry. Loads of mails used to come in which all said basically one thing; TGIF (Thank God, Its Friday!). This Friday culture is extremely rampant in the IT industry. There is even a restaurant named as TGIF on Airport Road, Bangalore. What I mean by the ‘Friday culture’ is, most of the guys would head off towards bars and some teetotalers like me would head off to food joints, while still others would complete their quota of films or quota of bird watching on popular roads. What all this means is, you should do something to the extreme by convincing yourself that the next week is going to be a hell of a monster again and this is the last day of your life, so enjoy every moment of it in your own paradise.
Unfortunately, we have a session on Friday mornings as well. It’s on philosophy of life, self awareness and something else which I missed out in my in-between nap :) Attending this lecture is a tussle between the eagerness to listen to this wonderful gentleman and the all encompassing sleep of a weekend. If I am able to get out of my slumber and get to the class on time, it’s really worth it. Anyway, talking about weekends and the eagerness to do something you have dreamt all throughout the week, all of us here have a perfect occasion to do so tomorrow night. The fresher’s party. I am tired of listening to people going mad about the booze and getting drowned in the glass. May be it’s their Shangri-la!
Working Saturdays and Sundays is hard work. We have full 9-5 lectures on Saturdays and GDPI workshops on Sundays. Gone are the days when Saturdays were devoted to washing clothes and miscellaneous work while Sundays were a time to enjoy delicious food and a good afternoon sleep. It takes time to change habits; it takes time to come out of the comfort zone.
But for now, we all are looking forward to some dance, music & food at the freshers welcome bash !!
