Every week, some time around late Wednesday or early Thursday , your over enthusiastic brain starts making weekend plans for you. Plans that are totally amazing and kickass! However, not everything you chalk out works out quite as well as you would like. Reality has other plans for you. For instance, I should be chilling on a yacht in Miami according to what I had planned. Instead I’m at work in a windowless room in Gurgaon fighting large moths! So, here is a list of things that we plan to do on weekends vs what we actually end up doing!
1.Expectation:
Catch up on the kick-ass Hollywood movies playing in the theatre and have a rollicking good time!
Reality:
End up sitting at home, watching dubbed South Indian movies on Set Max.
2. Expectation:
Finally get around to reading all the books you’ve dumped in the back corner of your shelf.
Reality:
Facebook! Facebook! Facebook!
3. Expectation:
Screw the deadlines, screw the bosses, this weekend is going to be all about clubbing .
Reality:
Cozily snuggle inside your blanket and sleep for so long you don’t even see the sun for the next 48 hours.
4. Expectation:
Get off your ass and finally hit the gym to kick start a new healthy chapter in your life.

Make plans with your buddy and end up drinking a dozen beers and hogging countless plates of chicken that leave you feeling like a bloated balloon.

9. Expectation:
Make the weekend all about you as it’s been decades since you last pampered yourself. Parlour, salon and spa!

Check your bank balance and realize the money you have isn’t enough for any kind of pampering. So you just get depressed and go to sleep!
