Routine or no routine

Dear Mausam,
If you are in favour of a life with routine say Ayes or else Nays

I have heard people say so often that they are tired of doing the same stuff every day, waking up same time every morning, doing the same chores everyday, taking the same bus, going through the same route, getting off the job at the same time, following a similar pattern for the evenings for months and months. Such people always complain about and express their inability to get out of this rut.
And then there are others like me, who are dying to get into a similar daily pattern, (maybe that is coz i have never been in a job where there are set working hours) coming in at x A.M. everyday and leave at y P.M. every evening. But my current job looks like fulfilling this desire of mine. Waking at the same time every morning, which gives me the luxury of not changing my alarm clock, taking the same train every day( I always wated to be a daily passenger, seeing same faces everyday, and going about the daily proceedings day in and day out). It has been a fascination really, so now this little desire of mine is also taking itz shape. Another benefit for me is that now i will become far more disciplined.
itz been 10 years since the last time I had such set pattern(it was way back in 10th grade) otherwise all these years, i have failed to get into a routine.No wonder I have always liked the movies like "Groundhog Day", "Truman Show" and a relatively old/wonderful movie called "12:01", all these movies deal with the concept of day repeating itself (I will consider Truman Show also in this category).
So my days of lazying around, and walking my way to office at will are over, these americans dont even let you work after your official hours, even for free! Get into a routine now coz this is what you wanted boy :-)
Regards,
Ajj Kaim

i like the style of addressing each post to "mausam". that's just sweet.

i've been thinking of this no routine thing. i haven't had a disciplined life around a schedule for a really long time too. unfortunately, i happen to love it and am scared to think of what will happen when i enter the real world.
