Pro Crastination

"MaMa......... wake me up at six thirty tom, gotta do sadhakam and study", a usual statement frm the mouth of the lethargic DunCe.......
" Mmmmmmmm(angdai) MaMa wats the time?????? Ten!!!!!!!!! It was all ur fault....Wat the heck were u doing??? i told u several times to wake me up at six thirty...... U wud definitely not b engrossed in ur cuisine errands coz u hardly cook anything........AAAAAAAAAAAAAhhhhhhhhhh(phir se chalooo)..."
Hence goes the day's work messy...........The satan being ProCrastination............

Procrastination comes from the Latin “pro,” meaning “forward, forth, or in favor of,” and “crastinus,” meaning “of tomorrow” . However, to go beyond this notion of delay is to encounter considerable disagreement. Not everyone believes it means the same thing.

Once when a great person was asked abt his not being punctual, he gave a funny definition of ProCrastination...

"Procrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday."- Don Marquis

For which Wayne Dyer gave a reply,

"Procrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday and avoiding today."
Wayne Dyer

"Procrastination is my sin.
It brings me naught but sorrow.
I know that I should stop it.
In fact, I will - tomorrow!
These beautiful self -humoring verses are that of Gloria Pitzer............

Every tom , dick and harry, even legends are well known for getting away with this ProCrastination.

A very good example for ProCrastination could be the preparation for your final or semester exams.... Its kinda black mark on ur cool attitude if u start ur preparation one month in advance...... Even toppers try hard to spend little time for studies to portray an image that they can also belong to the so called COOL community by preparing the day b4 the exam....... Ultimately, ppl resort to cramming and toil so hard getting rid of a good slumber, not even caring to have a nap the day before the exam.......
The source to this problem is ProCrastination..........


"Hey, yesterday there was a concert scheduled at six in the Music academy ....The show started at six and was over by 9......"

Well has anyone heard such a statement........ Not in this planet for sure..... Might be some paradoxical place....

Great achievers have to maintain their image by taking care of everything, their looks, costume ,health,, every damn thing except time....................
Even if there s a rare case a moron tryin to perform on time, then the dedicated audience would be few in no. scattered here and there,,, welcoming the chief guest,, Procrastination for more audience to come.........

Such is the present scenario......Ppl are ready for a compromise..... Punctuality is no more a relative thing.......

Even last week , Mr. Sharath kumar, the bicentennial actor(for his robotic dance moves), was 3 hrs late for a campaign in T.Nagar........ But ppl didnt mind that and they had gathered in swarms figuring around 15000 in no.
Who cares when he arrives????? Thalaivar varaaru..................

Even projects are not given a fixed deadline in the companies.....They do consider a minimal delay due to certain factors.......... So, Procrastination has breached into the whole system and has indeed rattled the foundation........


Hey, i had planned to write this blog last week............. Bas mann nahin kar raha tha......... I m infected wit the virus Lethargy( syndrome: Procrastination)

"MaMa!!!!!!!! tom six thirty!!!!!"
"dai i told u to sleep early naaa. wats the time!!!!"
"its k maa... Do watever u want wit me... Pour hot water on my face , shed ur irritation by beating me to death, spank me , or sing out loud....Just wake me up........"
"Nee asara maata da"........... ( Here ends the lore leavin behind the DunCe snore........).....
