Inevitable Meetings !!!

Meetings : How do they make u feel.....
Does it make u feel as if u r so important handling some critical things.... u can be the show stopper in a fashion show.... something like that....
or ...
its like u r just dragged into them without your wish and u have no escape other than attending them.. even if they make u sleepy...

but u know in such meetings where u r a mere listener they are blessings in disguise....
how ?
ya i know people don't understand it...
so lemme explain...

such meetings give u enough time and space for yourself... just yourself...
where u can be just U... feel true....
isn't that great .... when we keep complaining of work.. life... time and space crunch....
u can really really feel free to disconnect some one's call or keep ur cell switched off according to ur wish.. and people complain .. u can say the truth ... u were in a meeting and couldn't take up the call... ( i know its half the truth.... actually you would be avoiding them.. but then saying the complete truth and spoiling a relation.. or telling a lie to make up a relation.... isn't it better u speak the half truth.... sounds cool huh !!! i know ... ^_^)

but then u know sometimes these meetings really get boring....
so to spice up ur life u should have some interesting things to do....
i know people will ask now .. like what...
so i have some handy tips to save u from falling asleep.. (made the list from my own experience.. hope my manager doesn't know my blog address..gee )

cough and sneeze.. that gives u jolts to make u stay awake
get a big mug full of coffee whenever u enter a meeting room irrespective of the time of the day and the weather outside...
Pass on quick chits and sms to friends who can be trusted...
Get a paper pen and try jotting down points....
Write a blog like i have written "Inevitable meetings"
Try a bit of sketching.. draw a sketch of the person giving the presentation.... (b'coz while u observe them for the sketch ur look will make them feel as if u r really interested in what they r saying and u look enthusiastic about the whole thing)

and after doing all these, if u still feel sleepy.. then...
Don't forget ur specs.. they save u from getting caught when u r sleeping....
or
Try nodding to the points they r highlighting and in between the nods try to take a real quick nap ...

Happy Sleeping :)
