Yes, I know the linkin park song plays in your head the moment you see the title(No? where have you come from? ). But yes, it's difficult to break a habit. Any kind. Unless it involves succumbing to temptation or laziness. Depends really. I am seeing my blog after ages. Actually, I don't even remember when was the last time I sat and read some of my old posts and wonder "Damn! Did I actually write that?!" which I somehow did very often during the period of my last exam. (And you thought I was studying ) which reminds me, I really don't remember how much I scored in my last sem. If you had asked me that 3 months ago, pat would have come the answer.
And that's what I am talking about. Working, I tell you, changes perspectives in ways you can't even imagine. After rejoicing for 10 days about how much money has been credited to your account, the one and only concern that seems to top your list is how the hell did your bank balance reduce by xyz amount. xyz cuz the amount really doesn't have a lower limit but I can definitely say xyz << amount my flatmate has spent on setting up her @home like bedroom. :P You're thinking how to impress your manager in spite of not doing too much work ( still miserably failing at the "not doing" part), letting the weekend just pass away by sleeping like a hibernating bear, how to save taxes so that your monthly salary would increase by like 100rs,why, sometimes even about where you want to be 10 years down the line.
In this rut, we forget the small mundane things that used to give us the simplest possible joys, forget to remember people who we would meet everyday at one point of time, forget what life actually means to you. I know, this is the point where we are *supposed* to be responsible and think of our career and the greedy part of our brain starts calculating how you can have your very own penthouse by the time you're 30.
In that pursuit, we forget to address a major issue in our life. HOW TO LIVE. So,go ahead. Give yourself a break. Go and enjoy the rains out there instead of complaining how it gets you home so late from office. Immerse yourself in the songs you used to sing out loud instead of it being background music while you work. Pick up the dusty old guitar and play a few chords. Feel the familiarity rush in. The actual habit. As you try and break the "working" habit. :)
(P.S. I couldn't stand the fact that my blog hadn't been updated for three months. Funnily, I'm getting back to work at this very moment :-/ I have so much I want to write. Gonna try and practise what I preach :) )
