Self-Indulgence

Last couple of weeks, I have lived a life practically deprived of everything I am (or rather was..) addicted to. Good food, internet, TV (showing hindi and eng channels), free incoming calls...the list is endless. Last weekend I went to Bangalore and felt like I had been released from some jail. I chatted wid frnds to an extent that my friends had to assure me that this was neither my last day nor theirs. Though there is nothing much to watch on TV these days, I saw it for such a long time at a stretch that when my roomie asked me what I was watching, my reply was 'adds..!!!'.

And finally it was time for me to explore the outer world. I called one of my cousins and we decided to meet at Forum. Since he is younger to me, I was sure that he would bear with me without complaining. At the end of the day he said "I am surprised by your stamina and capacity to eat and shop. Now I know why men avoid going shopping with gals..!!" What a polite way of saying that I ate and shopped like crazy where as all I did was to satiate my hunger of last so many days!!!

And in these two days I pampered my self so much that today while discussing self - indulgence, the example given to me was the way I was ordering lunch...!!! Then on retrospection, I realized that I was so engrossed in myself that I became oblivious of even others' existence...be it my friends (with whom I was chatting)...or my roomie (whom I forced to watch adds) ... or my cousin...or my colleagues at lunch time...!!

So no more of self-indulgence (excess in action and immoderate indulgence of bodily appetites). Even my today's horroscope says so..!!!

P.S: Ignore all grammatical errors as I have been forced to read documents where english is dissected and murdered over and over again...!!! A few sample lines from those documents ---

"Taxation will be differs Item wise / State Act Wise / Return filing one branch in a state"

"In future Excise Billing may be happenned"
