Enna Vaazkada Idu


25 March, 2012, 2:30 pm. I'm sitting at my desktop, trying to finish off my day's target. I'm a language editor in a 10-year-old e-publishing company. I'm working for the US clients. The irony of my job is that I'm an ESL (English as a Foreign Language) person who should correct the language errors in the documents/articles that are written by the native speakers (most of them). However, I love my job. It's always interesting to find and correct one's mistakes. LOLZ. But, believe me. There are lots of comma, semi-colon, subject-verb agreement problems that you have face while language editing an article.

Today, but, I don't have the mood to work. I don't know the exact reason. May be today is Friday, the last working day, or I'm tired due to cold and fever, or I don't have any reason for my mood shut down. Sometimes we don't know why we lose our interest or why our mood goes off. Still, I want to go home, grab an extra large cup of drinking chocolate, and cuddle myself on the bed with my sweet heart at my side. Sounds awesome, doesn't it? But, I know that is not gonna happen now. Strange isn't it. I could not do what I want to or what I think to do, because of the notion  we are not allowed to do what we think of doing.
I recollect the summer times during my school and college days. Either I'll spend my summer vacation with my grandmother, uncle, and cousins at hometown, or my family and I will go for a vacation trip to any cool place. Spending my summer vacation at Darjeeling and Kolkata was the best trip I had. However, life was not the same always at all points of time. Now, I'm working all day at office, and then I should work at home, set dinner at table, and go to sleep. This life cycle is continuing and I know that it continues my whole life time. I always use to think why life has become so hectic and why I could not enjoy my time the way before I used to. Is that because of the commitments I had committed myself into? May be. But, at one point in my lifetime, I start to feel that everything is monotonous, and I feel bored. We are rushing to mend money, not realizing what we are losing today. However, I 'm not saying that everyone should not work every day and should be a merry-making without doing any work. We can take a vacation once in a while. Of course, taking some time off from the regular life would help us rejuvenate ourselves from the stresses, and we can gain some energy to re-enter the cycle of our life.
