Stretching has become a part of life now! Being an integral part of the custom set-up at Grail teaches an individual the nuances of sitting through an arduous session of researching and analyzing drugs for colo-rectal cancer and the subsequent dosage requirements which would subject an individual’s not so sound body to anti-cancerous amounts of Irinotecan Hydrochloride.
If that doesn’t turn you on, then speaking to a receptionist working in the ministry of economic development in some corner of Brasilia will! (For some, the equivalent delight would come from analyzing Tomato Paste market in Nigeria) Well, to be fair, there are guys for whom Deliverables, Client Deadlines, Formatting, 0-51-102 has the same effect that ‘Pamela Anderson Nude’ has on normal men.
As I approach my 11th month into this firm, I see myself transforming into someone whose waist line is showing no symptoms of curtailing itself. I guess that’s what happens when you like doing something. Sitting in office for countless hours analyzing anything and everything from drugs for Small cell lung cancer to the ARPU of some god-damn-firm in Sofia, I have taught myself the art of dwelling into things in a way I never thought I could, even while doing my MBA.
Happiness during such times comes not only through times when the job is well done, but also when you have something to look forward to in your social life. And for me, that social setting would come from placing myself like a slob in front of the television watching some high quality football. (I have absolutely no idea as to how I managed to get this discussion around football again)
As I was saying, watching United demolish Rovers the other day brought back not so great memories of the Arsenal of 2003-04. We played with great flair, demonstrated excellent wing-play, and to cap it all, Mr. Bulgaria reminded us that he was indeed worth all that money!
We are known as the team that warms up during the winter chill, and I hope this season is no different. While I am sitting in office waiting for my PL to review my slides (Teva Pharmaceuticals are in deep fish and litigation in underway in the Eastern court of Pennsylvania to screw them up) I can’t help but think about the El-classico tonight at the Nou Camp.
One of those matches when you have two teams coming into a game on the back of super –prime form.Probably one of those days when you tend to feel great even after putting 14 straight hours at work.
But this is what life is! And football is where the buck stops!
This is El classico! Where everything else will cease to exist!
5 hours from now, and its glory time!
Hala Madrista, Barca Feura! :D
