Day 2

11/11/19

A day of apace I must say. 
It's like this everytime I plan a holiday home. 
Have 3 pending week-offs which have to be taken before the 20th of this month. As usual I prefer going home (Hyderabad) rather than sitting here in Bangalore and irritating my husband by calling him every hour or two past lunch to ask when or how early can he be home. I know that it will be his same usual time, but still I'm bored so I call him.😃 🤷🏻‍♀️. 1 day is fine, 3 days of me staying here at home without work can be hazardous for both of us🤣. I have just realised that I haven't been here in Bangalore at home without going to work for more than a day continuous except for once when i was sick. 

But yeah I'm a very lazy person. I don't pack my bags days in advance. I pack them on the day of journey, if possible hours⏱️ before. High five ✋to the like-minded clan. It's basically dumping everything in my near sight into the suitcase 🛄 I decide to take. Yes dumping. So the day starts with a rush. 
After the dumping and giving the maid clear instructions as to what she has to cook for my husband morning and night during my absence which she anyway forgets and ends up calling me to ask, i rush to check the last minute essentials - wallet with an ID , sunscreen, earphones & a novel 📓. I was searching for a novel i started reading a year ago but haven't completed it yet as i forgot about it. I forget a lot of things. It's a blessing. I head to work with my luggage as i can go to the airport directly from there ,that way i skip the bangalore traffic, save 3-4 hours of my time and most importantly I'm home(Hyderabad) for dinner. Ah ! Homemade food, the importance of which I've understood only after shifting to Bangalore 2 1/2 years ago. Shoot ! Already.

At work, Mondays are usually not so busy. Probably cos Saturday & Sunday are bottle neck. I open facebook in which we have a dermatology group which is like very very active with daily posts of cases and scenarios. I scroll down that page for a while and then head back to the main home page where to my surprise I get advertisements of good reads and novels. What the heck !!! I dint name "novel" out . How did my phone pick it up ? From my brain ? How ? What's all this artificial intelligence (AI) about ? It's surely not a coincidence. But i wonder why did my phone just pick up novels ,not the other things I've been dealing with since morning. Is it like the eyes see what the brain wants or the AI shows what the brain wants ? 

Had many such similar situations in the past. Think of shopping, shopping advertisements pop up, think of kitchenware and they pop up, think of travelling and travel ideas, agencies pop up, think of experimenting a dish and that recipe pops up, think of going out for a play/movie and events pop up . My phone is haunted and so is yours ! But how ? Haven't you faced this ? Hell, yes. 

Artificial intelligence over human intelligence. And yeah I forgot to carry my home packed lunch. How absent-minded  🤯 can I be ? Last time when my husband did this, I was so furious that i planned to give him an empty lunch box 🍱 next day with a slip in it saying "opps i forgot to pack food" 😃🤷🏻‍♀️. But when it's me, nah people forget, that's ok i was busy right ?  
I'd probably get ads on food delivery apps now. 😃
