Gosh Vidhya . I never knew I woudl have a clone out there
4.50 am: Wake up without physical alarm. Mental alarm rings saying SBS/SBB updates are out. Log onto IF and search for Tanthya's post desperately. Find it. Refresh page 50 times till link is up. Watch it. Fawn over Arnav. (Aww'Barun's so cute in the grey shirt!) Pissed that there's no SaRun interview. Hot damn, he's going to pin her to a wall and do almost nothing to her. Fans self. Wishes one was Khushi. Tries to sleep. Work at 8.30.
Wake up time 5.00 am EST. Look for Tanthya's post or any update or clues. Its winter girl..yet i drag myself out !!
8.43 am: Coffee is hand. Need to start work. Just let me check what's happening on IF. Who's updated what? What, damn..no Pandora's box update? *Hits head on desk* Then thinks of Arnav pinning Khushi to wall and doing nothing. Drools. Boss walks in. Surreptitiously closes window. Pretends to work.
7:15 Tain ride to the office accompanied by reruns of prior UNCUT versions posted by Shy on youtube.
9.28am: Opens LU page. Spends next 30 minutes refreshing furiously. He kissed her? No, she slapped him? f**k, Snake did what? Lord, another Pooja! Naniji rocks! NK'what a sweetheart. Mamiji'go suck an egg! Buaji's hair extensions are weird.
9:28 a, Open LU while toggling back & forth between real work . Pretend to be reading imporatnt emails during the hour.
11.08am: Has worked half-heartedly for last hour and a half. Conscience has been assuaged. Time to open IF again. Who says what? The doses are out. Drool. Outraged at the Khushi dissers. C'mon, she's just 18 years old and thinks love = acidity people. Perspective! Cannot expect mature thinking from her. That has to come from Arnav. Types furious Khushi defense post. Deletes before posting. (Too many cuss words, no coherence!) Likes all the Khushi-is-a-victim posts. ROFLs at all the funny takes on the episode. (Specially the ones with dancing emoticons!) Wished self could figure out how to make emoticons dance.
10 - 12 Toggling continues while waiting for updates from @ladoo, @HeadoverHeals and some other good writers. ANd Yes Shy's daily doses
12.17: Lunch time. Sneaks laptop and food to lonely corner. Finds epi online. Done watching in 11 minutes! Skipped all Snake, Mami, Payal scenes. ArHi on for 11 minutes exactly. Rewatches the Arhi scene 2 times while finishing lunch. Sigh, the wall pinning was so dreamy. But totally different from all the 764 previous wall pinnings. His eyes in this one. Awww! Plus, new Rabbe ve tune is aweesooomme!
Lunchtime : No such luck as your o be able to see the episode. At times able to sneak out to watch a few updates on youtube on iphone.
2.30pm: Boss wants to know if results are ready. Umm yeah. Actually, No. I was too busy reading this really cute FF in which Khushi's actually pretending to be married..and, oh sorry, yeah results! Tomorrow morning. Promise. Cross my heart. Shit! Need to stop telling boss about IPKKND. Works diligently for next 2 hours. Mind is only half on IPKKND. Well, 63% on IPKKND. Which is like, you know, almost half. (Clearly not a math major!)
4.15pm: Tea break with friends. Someone says something about Rahem's hand almost brushing Mopey's on purpose today in that show that rules the TRP roost. Raises supercilious eyebrow. Delivers a crushing retort on not watching regressive shows. Only watch shows with Sneaky snakejis, Mean Mamijis, and oh, (wait for it, wait for it!), hot hot hot hotwas like Arnavji! Friend walks away offended. Don't care. Online friends on IF much better anyway. Better taste. Better humor. More in common.
5.03pm: Boss has left the building. Time to go home. Yay! Wait, I'll watch that cute scene where he blows the mud out of her eyes one time before I go home. That reminds me of, oh, I dunno, him blowing mud out of her eyes?
5:30 Way back home anxiously waiting to get home when reminded I need to stop for milk en route . Darn cant we keep a cow at home...
6.36pm: Chai in hand, reading very sad FF update. Damn these tragic writers. Angst sucks. Surfs IF. What, a new spoiler? It's confirmed! Arnav will marry Khushi while hating her, divorce her while loving her, and father her child by accident. Oh, wait. Not confirmed. Nah. Oh, ok, confirmed from LM's FB page. He says, Love is passion. Cut it. (Huh?) No wait, I know. This means there's going to be one more hot, passionate ArHi scene. In which Arnav pins her to a wall, comes oh-so-close to her, and does, well, nothing. Yay for LM. Can't wait for SBS/SBB to show it.
7:00 No chai in hand...rush to watch the epiosde first fast forwrd then entire. Start to prepare to respond on IF.
10.48pm: Dinner over. Socializing done. Have read paper, made presentation for tomorrow. IF time. Oh, thank God. The passionate scene spoiler double confirmed by unnamed sources. Re-watches all the post-sangeet ArHi scenes. Drools over the kiss for the gazillionth time. Updates FF. Checks for comments on previous updates. Damn, just 3 more since the last time I checked. 20 minutes ago. Why aren't people commenting? Damn, I hate this.
8:00 - 10 Check and respond IF
11.45pm: Falls asleep watching the Diwali poolside almost kiss. (Sobti, why can't you always have hair days like that one?)
11:00 Watch reruns yet again on ipda this time...
4.43 am: Mental alarm rings again.
That is (sadly!) my day people. Is your day better? Do you have a life? If you do, well done. (But you don't really, 'cos you're reading this!) and if you don't, welcome to the club. I would love to know what it's like for you.
Cheers!
Vidhya
PS: It's all very tongue-in-cheek. No offense meant to anyone, including myself, whom I diss quite a bit in this one. 😆
