time files.... :(

the weekend came and went... on friday i saw myself rushing out of office to comfort seat myself in the bus and during the journey my frnd calls to tell me that they have booked tickets for the movie 'SHABD'..for all those who don't knw what shabd is all abt...its this movie where the husband forces his wife into an extramarital affair and at the end of it goes insane.. and the wife is stupid enuf to play along..
there were some things in the movie that was good.. one was the heroines sense of dressing and the way in which the house was furnished.. tht does deserve a mention!!! Kudos to the team!!!
also the movie costed me Rs.130/- while i shd have paid only 65/- since every dialogue between the wife and lover gets repeated by the husband..so u see its not really a 3 hr movie ...SIGH!!!
we came home and chitchatted abt nothing till 1:00 in the mornign..what else do u expect a bunch of girls to do..device a mechanism to reach the sun???
the next day started with a surprise note..instead of racing against the mad traffic we decided to settle at home.. sweet home and cook for ourselves..don't u dare think we are gettin old!!!
and it turned out to be pretty good.. the menu was decided and each person gets a dish to make.. and it was a yummy meal!!!
after which came the brains at work.. masterminding ourselves.. :D
the rest of the weekend was uneventfull... jus a bit of sleepin,eating..following the elections and then chattnig with folks at home!!!
back again in office ... working hard.. hardly workin??? :D
oh before i 4get... highlights of the day...my ex-mgr(is it right to say tht) sent me a long long mail..saying i am a wonderfull person..(OW c'mon) and i got a 3% hike and some bonus.. now isn't today my day... oh yes it is my day!!!!

me and u??

my roommate told me yesterday tht if i din't have other things in my mind she wud have told me to get married asap.. 'cos acc to her..'everthing else falls in place'!!
i was so bugged with the fact that she was sure of what she wanted from life and i wasn't.. well there are some things am sure off at the moment ..like makin my hair to stop 'shedding' :P !!!

But yes..am at the cross roads of my priorities..there are a lot of things crowding my mind.. well definetly yes..and there are some things i want to make peace with..i will eventually trust me!!!

she was tellin me that she had a lot of mishaps and then she made a lot of corrections to it too..
but yes time is the best teacher..well its the best healer too... but all along i used to settle in my comfrt zone too lazy to think of change.. but now its not so much of a wonder or a pain..change is a very inviting prospect in my life... u meet new people and some of them make a mark on you.. and some dont!!!

there are some things i learn from each person.. like with her she's a no-nonsense of a person.. u can't expect her to be mindlessly freaky abt certain things.. well am not like that but yes in some cases i would like to be like that!!

well as long as what i learn makes me a better person who is to complain????

i have nothing but healthy foods, milk,dry fruits and druits.. well it def has been a great time ..so far so good!!! and i even tried my hand in cooking.. i can make bindi masala and aloo matar w/o worrying if am trying my experiments with my roommate as a guinea pig.. !!
and i have this penchant for cleanliness.. can u beleive i ran out of a house jus cos it was not :clean: :-).. but its becomes more pronounced these days .. well to a healthy life!!!

have been reading the woman of substance for a while now and cant wait to finish it.. and i can't beleive the week is almost over.. as in monday jus came and day after is friday.. and am goin home..yipee.. home sweet home!!!

so i turned a new leaf..???

well well ..if u knew me as a girl who abhors mornings and exercise in any form.. u would be surprised to see me go for a brisk walk early in the morning after a glass of lemon and honey..
after the walk comes the newspaper browsing and then the milk... and then bath... and rushing to catch the shuttle...
so i have turned into a new leaf.. but this does seem good!!! after a while i wud get used to getting up early and it def is not so bad u knw.. to watch the birds chirp and see the sun shyly making its way thro the crowds... its jus u and nature and love these early mornings!!!
it had rained yesterday i guess.. not a heavy downpour but intermitent rainning.. and i cud see the trees have had their bath.. they were smiling down with their new dresses on...isn't this a great feelin early in the morning!!! oh well it is!!!!
change is always good.. and if its for the better..what else can u ask for???

who are u??

yesterday was republic day...i was listening to radio city and there was this question abt whats the difference between independance and republic day..c'mon people can't be that ignorant or can they? interestingly, i read the hindy editorial only to find that the grandson of the queen of england dressed as a Nazi officer on the 'holocaust' day.. man are we gettin anywhere at all....???
we are supposed to be in the technology era and we cudn't predict the tsunami.. and the indian meteorological dept says they dint have the technology..well u gotta blame it on something right?? if u ask me i have a feeling we are stepping backwards than moving forward!!!
the talk of the day is linux, Q3 results.. padmashri awardees.. man din't anyone think of the common man at all?
When i saw swades i was amazed with the directors line of thinkin'.. and the movie cudn't have released at a more approppriate time!! with so many indians flying back and forth like its nobody's business.. here is a man who's making an honest attempt to make u think for a moment.. y are u rattling back and forth? y are u living oceans apare? y make more money when u can't be beside ur loved ones? is this freedom? quick money? isn't there a subtle message in this movie that is worth a thought?
well yes... i guess most people now claim an onsite assignment as a status symbol or a money spinner or an edge in the matrimonial column... well isn't there a life beyond all this?
when u look back over the years that rolled past u..don't u think u shd have done something more than jus typing furiously on the keyboard.. its TRUE.. everybody has to make a living.. and everybody needs a money.. gone are the days when u don't get a job that suits ur profile.. honestly i consider that gibberish.. ur just not lookin at things the right way.. after all..
"Winners don't do different things... they do things differently"
thats precisely the reason i liked 'ayutha ezuthu' also.. and there was this talk abt having all MBA graduates go thro' two year of politics.. personally i think that's the brightest idea i've ever heard.. imagine an all educated governance.. can u ask for anything more????
was it yet another day yesterday?? it was REPUBLIC day... and am not saying don't leave india and start flying elsewhere..am sure u can be an Indian living in australia... but are u really that??
or u a mixed breed?
Religion and culture should discipline u..after all, if religion wasn't there, there wouldn't be a way of living.. but one is not superior to another!!! and if there isn't culture then there is no discipline..but there isn't a best culture .. u can take the best of both and still live life..
but deep down.. who are u??
I beleive in Waters running deep.. rather than shallow ... so to speak.. everybody out there.. think abt it.. are u really what u thing u are? or are u fooling urself???

The Perfect Evening!!!

Every time i rush to my bus from office i yearn for this perfect evening......

Prepare a nice dinner.. not very elaborate but just enough to suffice the appetite...
have a long refreshing shower.. bubble bath if the luxury permits.. with all the aroma effects.. Wear something light and comfortable...
settle in the couch with a nice book and some hot beverage... read the book till night falls.. with some soft music in the background... have a nice dinner..
go for a stroll... where u can feel the breeze in ur hair... ur whole body getting bathed with the moonlight... lie down on ur back.. gazing at the stars and trying to make patterns..
get back and settle in the bed with soft music and the windows open letting the moonlight and the breeze filter in... fluffy pillows and let sleep take over u... no silly thoughts, no strict deadlines, no relationships to worry abt.. jus the connection between u and urself.... dats my night.. GOODNIGHT!!! SWEET DREAMS!!!

Breaking Point!!!!

There are times when u reach the limits...all u want to do is to shut down this stupid monitor and rest for a while.. get some good sleep, read a good book.. have a casual stroll, feel the breeze in ur face and run ur fingers thro' ur not-so long strands!!!! well i did some of these but there was still this unsettling feeling in me.. something was troubling me.. for a few days now.. there's this restlessness abt mt.. call it mid-life crisis or mixed emotions.. whatever the reasons be ..i can't seem to make peace with myself...!!!
As far as my memory goes i have always made decisions i have been proud off... never had a second thought abt them.. its only now i realise there are some shortcomings.. i actually don't care abt the decision itself.. i care more abt the people who get affected by the decision..something like if i decide this way wud that person be happy and if i decide this way would this person be happy.. i've actually not thought abt myself.. and i guess that's the greatest shortcomings of it all.. u have to think abt urself before u even give others a thought!!! otherwise u'll end up like me wondering why u made this decision and why ur not happy abt it anymore...
atleast with great resolve if can remove the bearings of the decisions that din't go quite right.. then i'll have a happy and delightful life!!!!

whenever i blog

should a blog be a refleciton of a thought process? or should it be those strange thoughts u think u have? should it be the wildest dreams? should it be those erratic nonsense? should it be what u saw some day somewhere and it keeps lingering in ur mind? those fond memories, lazy times, happy moments? what the hell is a blog?
whenever i blog its goin to be some of this and something else too.....
