Once, a friend asked me which day of the week I liked the most.
"Sunday", was my instant reply.
"No, it should be Saturday", he tried to correct me.
"Why?”
"Because, throughout Saturday, the thought of a Sunday at the doorstep would be so refreshing," he explained. "Though, you might be enjoying your Sunday, at times you would also be complaining about the next-in-line Monday.”
I knew he was right.
That was quite some time back, when I was working in an Indian start-up. Now, it is the five-day a week corporate culture that I follow and hence there is a change in the preferences.
The most-preferred day is Friday now.
It brings in all the excitement of the weekend ahead. Plans are made, resolutions are taken.
Then, again, the same thing.
The day starts very late. Take breakfast at the lunch time and that obviously delays the lunch by another two hours. Then comes the afternoon nap in the evening and by the time it is over, the day is over too.
Then there is Sunday. Though there is an attempt to improve things a little bit by adhering to strict deadlines for daily chores including getting up, the day is melancholically poised and ends like a long yawn.
So, there goes the two-day weekend.
Then, the wait starts for the next weekend.
This may go on and on I feel, till the day of my retirement. Things won't improve even if I get a three-day weekend.
