I know that I was so upbeat about my vacation / leave that was long overdue. Ever since I started working in Escotel, way back in January 2004, I haven’t been on a vacation. Well, I have had sick leaves and all that but a vacation, nah? The maximum was 4 days – I took 2 complimentary offs (for working on national holidays), combined it with the weekend and went to Calicut to spend it with my friends there. I was back in 3 days and the fourth day, I just collapsed in front of the tv.
So this time, I made it 1 week! A whole week to do whatever I want. Which ended up being nothing infact! I was planning on going somewhere, take a room for 6 days and relax but it fazed out. So I ended up here at home. Saturday & Sunday nights I was with my friends boozing. Monday, I did nothing. Tuesday was a repeat of Monday. Well not nothing – I listened to a ton of music on my computer. I slept a lot and napped a lot. I watched a whole lot of Friends – a heck of a lot! So much that I wanted to hang out in a coffee shop and I did go to one today! That and if I meet a hot girl now, I’d probably ask her “How you doin?”
So what is your favorite vacation destination?… Where is the farthest you have travelled?
Hmmm, well since the UK trip doesn’t count (since I was only 2) and the trips from Kuwait (where I was born and raised until the age of 11) to India and back doesn’t count, I’d have to say the farthest I have gone is Indore in Madhya Pradesh. Went there for a wedding back in 2000.
Here us locals like to go to either Ooty or Kodaikanal which are hill stations and chilly. There’s nothing much to do except go horse riding and biking or take a boat on the lake. I prefer the latter. i would like a cooler climate.
