The Art of Being Busy

I have been struggling for quite sometime to keep myself busy .... Reading books, jogging around, attending conferences . Inspite of all these, i was always accessible to others.. Somehow i always found my batchmates a lot busier than me.

This led to a very meticulous excercise in observing my batchmates over the past one-week and finally found certain points through which i guess i can really give a perception of being busy to others

1. Through Mobiles:
  • Put Mobiles on silent mode and give others a perception of attending meeting.
  • Keep watching your mobile periodically on pretext of date / Balance Check.
  • Pick up wrong-number calls during classes / meetings.
2. Through Emails:
  • Shoot 50 mails a day especially Tim-lak-laks.
  • Keep asking for every small thing by email something lik Hey Guys !! What do u suggest ? ..... Hey Guys !! Please form groups Please mail this me ASAP and so on .....
3. Have daily meetings at night at a predecided location for any damn agenda .. Some of spicy ones which i observed are : ------------------------------------------------------------
Don't you get it .. There is no agenda at all for most of the times ....

4. Involve a lot of females in the group. Kafi timepass ho jata hai ;) . If i comment more, i will start getting bumps from my batchmates..

5. Always keep walking from one wing to another. On being asked, just don't reply but smile and move on. People really think that there is some agenda or the other .....
If you really have to reply then say ... " OH !! Lots of work yaar .. I have to do this .. I am handling .... I am responsible for ...... " Always works !!!! :)

6. Put nose in front for the smallest of the things. "Come-on Guys !! Chief - Guest ko pastry mat do ... unko samosey sey kaam chala lo " .... That way .. you designate yourself as an important person in the meeting

7. Never Be in your room ... Always be in someone else's room.. Breakfast+Lunch + dinner .. at times even for sleep

8. Always stay away from orkut, yahoo, skype .. reply to orkut scraps after 3 days .... some ppl reply even if u don't scrap them .. it forms a routine

9. Set fancy status message on yahoo (@Work, @ college, @Be right back, @Exams ... )


The Biggest one ...

10. Try sleeping in lectures .... Ppl get the impression that you are really busy the previous night ...
