Procrastination

Well, as far as writing everyday was concerned, that idea went a bit haywire as one can clearly deduce from the differences in dates between this and the previous post. The gap apparently turned into a few weeks and I have the proper excuses for derailing from my anticipated path, but I rather not get into that, both for the reader's(if any :P ) sake and mine.
I did not realize before naming this post that the title presents a larger picture than what I intended it for. Now that I have my degree after my share of bad luck, bunch of unnecessary trips, worthless arguments with even worthless people, pickle of situations and finally (icing on the cake) a presentation which will make me doubt forever the academic credibility of every person from my department, I can afford to retrospect what landed me into the predicament I was in, without, for once, feeling sorry about it. What led to this situation, from my side, was a measly case of procrastination. So I suppose I have learnt my share of lesson(s) from that fault of mine and after beginning this post, suddenly all those times were refreshed for a while.
Here I am now, stuck in Delhi for past three days, though with all the great food and rest I am having I cant actually call it being stuck but since I was supposed to be present someplace else, hard at work, I will stick to defining my current state as being 'stuck'. Again for this same reason, that work is being delayed and consequently is being delayed the time at which I get back home which, in turn, further increases the duration after which I start doing any relevant work. Obviously what I am doing right now is relevant, but more so for the company. As far as I am concerned, I realized that if I have to go through with this particular piece of assignment without tearing my hair apart, or rather without getting fast-forward hair loss due to hypertension, then I have to take it strictly as an experience and try to learn everything from it which is NOT related to what I am doing. The concept might not sink in at first, but anyone who decides to go his own way, bearing strong perceptions of his future workplace, and finds out the reality being quite the opposite, will understand exactly what I mean. I realize that no one intended it to be like this and it was an unexpected turn of events which led to this conclusion. I dont, and frankly, cant blame anyone for this as its my job to do what is being expected out of me. The only thing that was making me so fidgety, which I managed to realize after quite a time, was that I was in a turmoil between what I wanted and what I had and was not accepting the fact that I was too precariously placed in the situation I was in to have any choice whatsoever. Only after I let that thought percolate inside me it occurred to me that there are some things that one must do, even if they dont follow the same trail as one expected them to, not because anything is being forced upon him, but because that is the reality but because that is what will happen for the rest of his life. The only way that I have found out of this is to work it out. Only when one is on the dictating terms can he be able to choose and do things to his liking and if he is not willing to earn that luxury for himself, he better learn to make peace with his conscience and bury this reality deep within him. As for me, I am yet to finish of that piece of 'work' I was assigned and I am hoping to conclude it for good, soon. What I have decided for me after pondering over the dilemma I mentioned above, I will keep to myself for the time being and in case it does not work out, will be more than glad to share my experiences.
For the short term plans, I just want to be able to stick to the little deadlines and schedules that I set for myself. I think had too much to write and that's why I swayed quite a bit from the topic and, in the process, might have also missed some relevant points I had decided to put forward but there's always a next day and I will try not to disappoint me henceforth.
Adios
