Birthdays & Friends ~

To all the people who messaged to say Happy Bday....thankyou SO much...and to all those who dint....theres always next year...;) I love my friends...and its even better when they love me too...I am glad there are friends who have lasted more than a decade...who understand me even when I cannot be there for them...they will still love me the same way...and cherish the memories spent together and still wish the best for me...an Uncle once told me..bleh....what use are friends...well he grew up with the notion that friends cannot be there for you the way your family can... I dont blame him....but I have grown up with not just the notion...but with experiences that depict just the opposite. My life began....and ends with these people who are my friends....so try as you may...they are not going away anywhere anytime soon.....so even if someone is to be my lifepartner....and friends dont approve....then that person HAS to go out ;) :) So if you want to be around..you better love them the way I do..Thats just the way it was...it is...and always has been...mwa to my buddies for LIFE!

Religion

Religion : 
So..something that's forbidden to speak about at the workplace. Religion and ofcourse Politics. Most of the people I know struggle with the idea that they have been introduced to many Gods and now they struggle to follow one true thing that they feel truly connected with. The dilemma for adults who have grown up with one idea being taught at home and another at school while growing up, is something that they have to deal with in adulthood too. So they why not follow both or maybe a third that you have been introduced to in adulthood too. A lot of things are being construed as taboo these days and many think that this is one too. We haven't perfectly mastered the material world efficiently, with equality which should reign supreme, and we are fighting about the nature of spirituality that should be followed.

The Journey this Far

So I ended where I had returned from Toronto. I decided to fulfill my duties and responsibilities toward family. Realising that I had far-from-pretty familial obligations, I just delved into it head on. This time again realising that it is not as tough as one thinks it is. Our parents and elders just want what's best for us. They have lived their life. They do not want us to make the same mistakes that they have made. And why would we? Since we are constantly reminded by them? I'm not being sarcastic, just true. I did a whole plethora of things in the midst of all of this. Getting recognised on Linkedin, tried training for Pageantry(being invited for Miss Universe), doing an online MBA from Indias Premier institute, Indian Institute of Management (a dream for too many to count), gave singing a shot as well (came 10th in a UK chart). Now after all this, I feel like there are bigger and better things to try, to do and to complete. May God be with me. I would love to make my family and my friends proud as punch one fine day. Just the finer details like getting married, having kids, etc..I think they're getting left behind somewhere. But hopefully I will catch up on them soon enough too.

A Friends Gift

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior morives. Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true friends. Be successful anyway. If you are honest and frank people may cheat you. Be honest and frank anyway. What you spent years building, someone could destroy overnight. Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they maybe jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow. Do good anyway. Give the world your best anyway. You see in the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway. 

Holidays~

I loooove Holidays...they are like a can of Pringles which you wish would never get over. Holidays are like the smell of mud when it rains. Holidays make you wish there was no tomorrow. They make you wonder what you would do if they lasted a little longer. If there was no work to do..life would be a holiday..but because theres work to do..holidays are that much sweeter. Like Candyfloss. They just melt away. Give you a sweet, sticky, gooey feeling after theyre over and you wish you could have some more the next day. If there were no Holidays our days would be Drab. All work and no holidays would make us all Jacks and Dull Boys ;)
