Friday! Favorite day of the week. Definitely better than even Saturday and Sunday because the anticipation of weekend is better than the weekend itself! The ‘working professionals’ wait for this day like their life depends on it. I don’t know how and when I became the official member of ‘I love Friday’ community; I guess shortly after my first job (in the first week, you know the first Monday :p).
Fridays have always been all about fun. I remember, as a child I used to wait for Friday because that was the only day Doordarshan would telecast a ‘Hindi feature Film’ (this was the pre-‘cable-100s of channels to select from’ era). As television meant only DD1, there was a real happiness in watching that one movie. Also the fact that Friday used to be the last day of week to put on uniform (civil cloths being allowed on Saturdays in our school) was very exciting for me as a kid.
Then in college Friday was the best for me because it meant release of one thing I am so passionately passionate about- Movies! Catching every new movie first day show was the greatest achievement for us in college. So every Friday morning, going through out newspapers to check out movie timings was kind of inevitable.
But, the actual importance of Friday was taught to me and so many others when we became ‘employees’. Friday to us is all about FREEDOM! Not that other weekdays are about captivity or anything but we love the fact that Friday gives us a chance to stay up all night if we wish to, because next day we can get up as late as we wish. There is this positive zeal in atmosphere in air on Fridays that suddenly we do not mind the workload, traffic or noise (change in perspective, if you may.) All the planning for weekends (no matter if half the plans do not pan out :p), catching up with friends, and the ‘free as a bird’ feeling are sure to make anyone fall in love with Fridays! The clock which on any other weekday seems to have stopped moves super fast on a Friday!
So that’s Friday: Perfect merger point between weekdays and weekends and the best day to come to work! Ahh…if only every weekday could be a Friday! (Ok now I am seriously high of the Friday spirit! :p)
