After a sabbatical owing to the fact that my office does not allow me to use the net on my laptop I am back! My office has finally decided to give me an ancient terminal with an internet connection. Flipside: till june 22nd, this blog shall exclusively carry text only! Pics are just not happening.

Hmmmm...

Booze n smoke... they define this city as much as yellow taxis n trams! The smoke flows through the AC vents in my office and the head of JWT Kolkata has moved out of the main office suite into an alcove. Talk about insubordination. The employees refuse to budge and the vents remain clogged, as do my lungs!!!

Disguised Unemployment

A person who sits in front of the TV all the time's a couch potato. Now having stated that well known fact, I wonder what I am. For all I do all day (for the last two days) is stare pointlessly at the computer screen, wreak my eyes and my back and wonder what to do with all the time that I have.

The irony of it all is, there was a time just two months ago when I did not even have the time to sleep. The pity of it all is that I can't store this time in a box, nor can I enjoy it. People around me envy me. I envy them. The jobless envy the busy and vice-versa.

This chair potato (as I have elected to call myself in my new capacity as a jobless with a job) finally understands whatever economists meant when they coined the term disguised unemployment.
