Bored by May Day, techie executes one year plan perfectly

-
Bangalore, pre May-Day, 2018


A city based techie working for a major garbage aggregator, executed his one year plan in waiting today.

Mahesh, 27, has always been bored by May-Day. "Mid week holiday and even our US office is closed. It's the most irritating day of the year. I thought I would go mad if this continues every year. Nothing moves on this day. So I made up a plan in 2017 to figure out what to do on 2018 May Day."

The entire process stretched for six months. Mahesh adds, "It was tough. Planning isn't easy. It effected by daily routine of reading India-Pakistan comments on Youtube. At one point, I was so stressed that I shouted at my boss for no reason." As per our sources at Kacharwala, his boss got really pissed and when Mahesh confronted him with "That's what you do all the time", the boss got super annoyed and escalated the matter to his senior, shouting at them for no apparent reason.

Mahesh told us what his plan was. "After overthinking and over-analyzing numerous times, I decided that the best way to kill time on May Day is to write a blog about "How to kill time on May-day". One just has to get 20 points, and then publish every year with different headlines: '5 ways..', '7 ways..', '15 ways..'."

The techie also admits that his virtual girlfriend was not happy, as she had planned a 3 hour movie date with him, on Netflix, on different devices, in different cities, simultaneously.

" I don't want to be a slave today. I told my girlfriend to do dusting of her house so that she could pass time (her maid has taken a labor day off)", he concludes.

The born night

The magic happened at 9 PM on a Tuesday in June'25. There was waiting, then cries and shivering. But the process had started around 8.30 in the morning. The water broke as she sat in the living room. Sakshi had wondered how she would know whether it was a water break or a false alarm. But coming out of the loo, she could confidently say that her water was broken. Almost everything was packed, yet a few items were to be put in. By 9.30 AM, we were at the hospital.  Yes indeed, the water had broken. All forms have been filled out and now a waiting period. Of what? Pain!! Who wants pain, yet at that time, pain was the only thing Sakshi desired. But the baby had other plans; she slept peacefully in the womb. While wearing her surgical gloves, Dr Rituparna Bera Sarkar asked Sakshi which gender she favoured. She said, slightly inclined towards a girl, the doctor passed a smile. Five minutes later, an assistant chirped, Doctor has fulfilled your wish. Siya touched her mother and started s...

The Night Blue Sky

And I look and look but find nothing, It's like staring into a clear blue sky, You see the vast indefinite space, Wonder what's behind that, Wonder if it is just a veil hiding some secrets behind, You wait and wait for the shield to lift, But it's just a clear blue sky. But you keep looking up above the world so high , Hold her hands and try to fly, The grass is green below, and slippers by the side, Feel the breeze and the Chords hit the tide, Lie till the sun sets down, and the stars occupy, It's not just a clear blue sky. -SJ

Moving towards De-Globalization?

Even the Leave campaign supporters woke up to the shock that they had won. Brexit was finally here. It was so crude that the National Democratic Party of Britain had to admit the fact, within hours, that the 350m Pound it had promised to bring back into the National Health System was a lie. Another point they admitted was that migration would not be stopped. The remain campaign also had their fair share of lies. But sadly, they did not get a chance to admit them. But everyone loves a big fat lie. It is so juicy and unmistakably truthless that you have to believe the sheer (dis)honesty it is mentioned with. The Brexit campaign was a social experiment of lying and an opportunity to create phantom stories, to be tested in this 24x7 technology and media world. The result? No matter how much free information you have, nobody questions a lie if told with utter confidence. Left and the Right can be ideologically divided, but in this campaign they came together, albeit with different rea...
