Hello there. The week went by pretty fast. Somehow I managed 3 days work from office and 2 days work from home this week. Coming week, I will have to go everyday but no strict timings as such. The commuting part takes away 4 hrs (up and down journey combined) itself.
We are having a soggy weather here. It 7:55 p.m. IST as I write this post. I had some heavy snacks 
. So I will be having dinner pretty late.
Anyways, how are you all doing? How are the weekends going for you?

Can you keep saying you're doing "daily" posts when you aren't here every day? 
You posted this at 9:27 am here... And it's 9:30 am now.
I'm glad you actually did some work so your company has a reason to pay you. 
WOW! Two hours there and back? I've never worked a job that far away from my house! My longest commute was 45 minutes to work and 45 minutes home again at the end of the day and I thought that was too far to drive every day!
What will you have for late dinner today?
This is still early Saturday morning and I can see just fine right now... I'm hoping I can still see when Pretty wakes up later today. We need to do some grocery shopping. I laid out hamburger to thaw from the freezer and would like some pasta with it but I haven't decided what kind of pasta I want yet.
Today is supposed to be sunny but not too hot so that will be nice. We need to go out and work in the yard but that doesn't have to be today. The next few days are supposed to be nice outside, as well.
Enjoy the rest of your day!

Lol. I will keep adding the daily tag in my posts just to annoy you. Yeah 4 hours commuting
.
For late dinner, I will have what I had for lunch. Lentil soup(dal), rice and raw banana curry.

@Dreamerby It only bothers me a little bit because I miss visiting with you when you can't be here.
My Indian brother commutes that much to his job, too. But he rides a train back and forth to work. I know his train isn't too crowded, though. He often texts with me on his commute to or from work.
I would try all that except for the rice.

@DaddyEvil I commute by uber shuttle. It's basically an air-conditioned bus which stops providing tickets once all the seats are occupied. Its a bit pricey...but I also need to do mental work at office so the commuting part has to be comfortable

That's a long commute. The longest I ever had was around 45 minutes. The weekend is going OK. Not doing much.

It was good. I felt sleepy also last afternoon. I want to have a quiet weekend so that I can relax more and feel good.

You are lucky that you have to work for 5 days a week but I have to work 6 days a week.
It rained here when I was coming back to home from office. It takes 75 mins for me to reach office so 2.5 hours daily I have to spend in the traffic. I go my own car and have to face lots of traffic jam mostly in the evening while coming back home.
Most probably we will go to "Sarojini market" tomorrow for shopping. I hope you may have heard the name of this market located in Delhi. My wife and kids are insisting on to go there tomorrow but I am not willing to, as I want to have a rest.
