C'est la vie!

Almost 10 days into Sonar Bangla and one thing is clear... I really don't mind a life like this... but I wouldn't want to work hard and achieve it.... I think this is the way life should be... Someone else should be always working hard so that you may have a comfortable life.... I mean, to live like a king is easy only if you don't have to work like one.... Consider these stats-

  1. Being put up in a luxurious 7 star hotel with valets and housekeepers and receptionists falling head over heels to ensure that you are most comfortable...
  2. The meals are exotic dishes whose names it is impossible to recollect.... I mean, the fruit juices are so fresh and pure that you just can't have one...
  3. The bath tub is a luxury that comes complimentary with bubble bath....and I don't know why people like it so much, all that I can say is that watching TV while in bath is a wholly different experience...
  4. I have never seen a more instant(er) way of weight reduction than the Sauna.... I can vouch for the fact that you lose almost half a kilo and the loss maintains itself till the next meal...
  5. Being in AC 24*7 means that even the barest minimum of outside weather can make you sweat like a pig!
Now that I am done bragging about the "Experience" @ Sonar Bangla, here is the flip side....-

  1. I just can't get it how people pick up stuff using forks and weid shaped spoons... I mean I keep dropping it on the buffet table all the time... and after the third successive failed attempt, just drop my head and am forced to move on to the next item...
  2. I have been wondering if its cheap to ask for another drink ( I mean fruit juice and milk shakes) when you aren't done with the first?
  3. How does one eat all this food without using one's hands? I mean the forks and knives just dont have the same impact... Plus, if you eat with hands, you can savour the food for a longer time!
  4. Being in AC 24*7 means that the kidneys function overtime....This translates into forced march outs in the middle of lectures, much to the chagrin of the instructors, most of whom are very senior managers...
  5. There is this sinking feeling I get when I try to sleep, may be its just that the bed is too fluffy, or that I am just too fat... And I don't rerally like to hoist myself out of the bed, which is what I am forced to do!!!
So, in conclusion, I am all for luxurious life and royal treatment... But I don't suppose the whole idea opf having to slog for it excites me much....
