Freaky Monday

Few of the problems that you may face on a Monday if you are a hostilite and doing your MBA in PUMBA:


1. Your are home sick because for the past 3 months you have'nt been able to get back home, Nostalgia, Dhruv, assignments and  then exams. Fortunately your exams got over on Saturday but you have a new set of problems to face. Another reason why you are desperate to get back is that the laptop (latest configuration and from the best company in the field) you had ordered was home delivered a month back. But no one except you knows how to use it.
2. You have been suffering from the embarassment of wearing a crumpled shirt for the past one and a half months, because the prices of laundary service have shot through the roof. However taking a proactive approach you bought a junk press from no where. You also gave it to a primordial shop in Appa Balwant Chowk, but to your disgust the repairman has been testing your patience since then and has kept you on hold citing different reasons each time you try to contact him about the press. You have in the process spent Rs 80 as travelling expenses from Vidyapeeth to ABC (the standard return bus fare is Rs 10 and you have made 8 trips, this does not include the cost of lost time and mental torcher as a result) The initial cost of repair i. e. Rs 170 has now ballooned to Rs 250 as a result. With Rs 250 you could well have purchased a new one. You have even howled and screamed at the repairman but with no result.
3. You room is infested with parasites some of which are your classmates. No pesticide seems to work on them. You are fighting a cold war because your requests to maintain peace and harmony in your room have fallen on deaf ears.
4. The sole source of noise and entertainment in your room i. e. the FM Radio (jointly purchased by you and your freind, the ratio of contribution was 5:2) has been taken away by your roommate's freind without your or his permission.
5. You have been selected for your summer internship at Timbuctu (a distant place) but have'nt recieved your offer letter  and hence have no clue how to go about preparing for the same. No flights are available and due to summer vacations the trains to Timbuctu are all full. You fear that if you don't recieve the letter you will feel ditched by the company.
6. You have decided to purchase 3 books as a temporary solution to problem 5 but you have money for only two.
7. You have to write a one page article on MBA not because you want to but because your classmate has told you to do so (she mistakenly thinks you write well). You know that if you do not write that article willingly it will be as good as a dead duck. You cannot explain your quandary to your classmate and hence when asked about it you have to vacillate and give a diplomatic answer.
8. You team member had asked for your help but herself has failed to turn up. You had postponed your plans for next day as a result but now this has backfired on you. You are stuck because now you cannot do what you planned untill Tuesday and even your Monday will be wasted.
9. Your friend had enticed you  into watching a Tamil smash hit on Sunday night with English subtitles and you stayed awake till 2 am Monday morning. As a result you woke up late and your whole plan has gone haywire.
10. You have to solve problems one to nine on one day that is Monday but you don’t have time; even if you do you have lost your senses of understanding and comprehension because your brain has been fully exploited during the exams and after the frustration from problems one to nine there is nothing left.

 

Problems are the spice of life. Without them life would be inspid and boring. So the best you can do to solve them is to pull up your sleeves and jump into the battle. You can also purchase a hammer because if you have one you tend to see every problem as a nail. And if you are feeling down then remember what Albert Einstein had said:
"A clever person solves a problem. A wise person tries to avoid it."
ALL THE BEST
