It must have been due for a while. Especially for the things I’ve done (rather, things that happened to me) in last two weeks,

• Completely unplanned holidays
• Beach(es)
• Colored my hair red
• Football – FIFA Live in Goa!
• Bladder blast Breezers
• Explored amazing Music (Instrument) Stores… on foot
• Followed by some Asian-style Foot Massage
• Day long train journey (in a real Indian way)
• And then the fastest bus ride (like the ‘Fastest Indian’. MSRTC rocks)!
• Finally visited Ravi's house (again unplanned, or in fact, accidentally)
• Long drive(s) – of a few hundred kilometers!
• Socialized (to the core)
• Caught up with cousins (1st, 2nd and more)
• Interacted with my new relatives (no confusion, I’m talking about my brothers- and sisters-in-law)
• Danced (like a crazy) in the rain
• Saw Maradona (meaning, Argentina) losing :( and Janak winning :)
• Tones of movies (well, not literally)
• Unlocked some badges
• Donated blood
• Redesigned (re-defined?) my website
• Completed some pending articles (including some unplanned ones)
• Got tattooed!

...I really feel I needed this break.

For a change, I don’t want to refer Wikipedia for the ideal and theoretical details. And in trying to explore my own meaning, I feel a vacation would be the time when we wouldn’t complain of not having time – for the family, friends, the self. A time to do things we wouldn’t/can’t do otherwise. (Like playing a saxophone!?)

A vacation would be an attempt to take time away from the routine, so that we can get back to the same routine, but with different (higher) energy-level. It should be fun enough that we can gladly forget the stress at the work place (and more so, at home); relaxing enough that we can actually offload the pains and recharge our spirits (literally with spirits, on times :D); and should be long enough that we feel the crave to get back to routine, the work and our comfort zone – something we all like the most, fundamentally – for better.

I couldn’t think of a better time-off for myself. Friends, Family, Fun… what else would I want?  (Don’t even answer that! I know what you’re thinking. :D)

Rejuvenated. Guess I’m ready for the work – and the new role! :)
