The ALL-Nighter!

Ah the nostalgia of going through an all-nighter has hit me as I sit in front of the computer working on some client related issues. In short, the client is to be shown a demo of the site first thing tomorrow morning and it is having last minute issues. As I dig deeper, I ponder over the prospect of an exciting all-nighter. There is hardly an engineering student in this universe who has not enjoyed the deafening silence of the night trying to get his or her assignment turned in or preparing for the next morning's board exam.

As boring as it sounds, trust me, we actually used to look forward to these nights during school and college days. Although some nights were simply work-horse-like others used to be fun. The venue used to be different, the music changed over the years, the tasks used to vary but some things that we always did were drink lots of tea from the chaiwala or at home and eat lots and lots of maggi with an extraneous medley of eggs; yummm!!! There was a friend of mine who loved our company so much that he just used to come there and sleep it out like a baby. Others were easily distracted by the then new MTV and channel V music channels. As dawn neared the frequency of the breaks used to go up.

Ok looks like it was a false alarm and everything seems to be in order now after some intervention from yours truly. Tomorrow is president's day well actually today since it's well past midnight, so a Happy President's day to all of you!!! Whatever that means, I have to work though :(.
