I love the idea of having a holiday during the 5 working days of the week. Its something which makes me go GA GA, or you can say I feel like I am on moon, whenever there is a holiday on a weekday.
But what is the reason behind it, since when did I start loving them?
Frankly speaking, it was since I started working, I fell in love with this idea. But I can recollect it was during my childhood days, that I first experienced weekday off and YES, I still remember the same.
The year was, I think 1986, and I was in pre-nursery. I have stayed @ Malleshwaram for the first 15 yrs of my life. So the pre-nursery was close to the railway tracks, somewhere in Malleshwaram West.
It was one such days, (during a weekday), that a leave was declared, not sure why. I came to know about the holiday only once I reached the pre-nursery. Infact my father used to drop me over there.
So I came back home and yes, I had food and slept, played and played the whole day.
It was the beginning, since then I have had so many days off during the week, many of them have been memorable, once in HighSchool, the school was closed on a working day, that too on the day of a test. Nice. So the whole day we played cricket and came back and started revising for the next day.
Such is the impact of a weekday off on me that, in my first company, I have bunked office few times on Monday, not because I was unwell, but just due to the fact that, I am lazy and wanted a day off during the week. And yes, the whole idea peps me up !!!
So here goes the first post in the collection.
Cheers,
Sandeep
