Do's and Dont's

Not the typical do's and dont's listed on the polythene bags enveloping new electronic gadgets : do not swallow or feed to cows or offer as gift to kids under 12 but just some random comparison of lifestyle changes from being a bored s/w engineer to an upcoming (funny word) MBA.

Things I DO (can't say I love all these but still)

• No time table for sleep, but there is some thumb-rule : never before 3 and not after 6 (in the night ;-0).
• Learnt the trick to sleep on chair.
• Jeans is the daily wear now.
  
• Get to Crib with friends for each rupee spent on autorickshaw or bus.
• Can afford to keep stubbles for weeks.
• Wear chappals throughout the day.
• Re-realized the importance of 'Pen is mightier than Keyboard'. Had almost forgotten how to write using pen and paper. In CSC amidst loads of copy and paste the only writing that I did for almost 3 years was marking pencil corrections on printed requirement docs or solving crosswords from TOI. Now with 2 economics, 2 HR etc courses in my pocket you can imagine the reams of paper I would have gobbled.
• Eat umpteen number of Vada Paav, get up close and personal (hope you are not misunderstanding me) with Mumabikars in locals, wait till eternity in BEST bus to reach a 12 KM distant location ...
  

Things that DON'T (or things I miss) happen in college now

• The $ sign which used to come up ringing in the eyes every start of the month.
• Miss my friends back in Noida, here it is more 'If you don't beat the shit out of me I will' attitude.
• Missing the punjabi / jatt language of dilli, chhole bhature in breakfast, hot jalebi after dinner, Gajar Halwa; Sutta in cold, foggy delhi december night, domino's pizza in office after a back breaking code/test/deliver weekend frenzy ...

PS: readers are welcome to add to the list ... i know it's a boring post but please bear with me, everyday is not a sunday.
