WUGIWUG

I have been wondering about what I should be writing next… been caught up with work and project deadlines… and it is needless to say that I was preoccupied with work… but somehow I couldn’t take my mind off the blog… a lot of things were on the back of my head and I have been in a reflective mood for more than a couple of days now…
A couple of quotes kept coming back to my mind… I am just jotting them down even though they are clichéd…

• Happiness is not having what you want
but wanting what you have!!

• What do you do when the only person who can make you stop crying is the person who made you cry?

• If you loved something,
set it free,
if it comes back to you
then it is yours
else it was never yours!!

• A pinch of mischief,
A cup of love,
along with lot of understanding
makes friendship the best recipe!!

• Always be careful,
Always bear a smile
Remember you are in this world just for a while!!

Been thinking about a lot of things… especially about relationships… guess I would dedicate another blog to it… was just pondering on what people expect out of a relationship… and the first thing that came to my mind was that we all needed an “understanding” person… Do we all make the mistake of expecting more and fail to give an equal (if not more) share of it? Every person yearns to be cared for… to be loved… and pampered at some point of time in their lives… all of us need a shoulder to lean on in times of distress, a comforting hug that means much more than words, a warm smile that reassures that there is someone on earth who will go out of their way to keep us happy… someone who will treasure us and love us for the way we are… someone who will respect our space and help us grow both within and out of the circle that each of us have drawn around us… Hmmm….

Every relationship is like the sand held in our palm… if held too firmly, it escapes through the spaces in between our fingers… if held too loose; it gets carried away by the wind…

WUGIWUG – What You Give Is What You Get… Reflect what you want to receive… and I am sure things will be a lot better then…

Tring Tring!

It's the usual story... Trrrrrrrriiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnggggggg Ttttttttttrrrrrriiiiinnnngggg - there goes my fone.... ringing once again... oh my GOD! How could it have happened???? I am lost... I just remembered my head landing on the pillow a second back..hmmm, but then the alarm couldn't be wrong!
I slowly slide my head out of the comforter and with a Herculean effort I pop one eye open to check the time... Gosh! It is really well past time... after cursing the phone for having been in a working condition at the most "inappropriate" time, I realize that I can't avoid the inevitable.. :(( so I eventually get up and I am greeted with a series of phone calls in a short time.

That's the way my day usually begins... I wonder what I would do if not for the cell phone...I am one person who keeps jabbering most of the time... especially over the fone... It all began....(tortoise effect... flashback)

21 years back...

Scene 1:

My mom: "Kozhandai enna panra?"
My dad: "Ava paati kitta irukka"

My mom wonders why I haven't made a sound for more than an hour now... so she's all curious to know whats keeping me entertained....
To her utter disbelief it was the telephone that had kept me silent... I was more than amused at the age of 1 by Graham Bell's invention... and initially even my parents were proud to say that their kid knew to operate the phone... but....

(17 years later...)

Scene 2:

Postman: Sir, post.

One of us in the family would go and pick up the mail that was just dropped... If there was a letter from the BSNL, then I would know that lady luck had momentarily deserted me... (I guess everything is self-explanatory from here on!)

The concluding part of Scene 1 was never enacted in my life again! I wonder how things change so soon :))

(Back to present)

Such is the current situation too!

Well fone (telephone ya mobile fone) has always been a part and parcel of my life... kept me in constant touch with my dear ones... and I am sure that I will continue to use it the same way for the rest of my life...

Ennai thaniya island la vittu ore oru saamaan allowed nu sonna telephone thaan vennumnu kekara aalu naan!

I recently came across an article that I want to share with people like me...

Oh ok guys,gtg as my cell is ringing.... ;)

Is Life Beautiful???

Well the best part of creating a blogspot is to make use of it....and I was one person who failed to do so...so here I am in a new avatar, all set to put my thinking caps on and give my best shot at writing!

Is Life really beautiful....Hmmm, thats one thing that I would like to clarify before I really get down to writing another blog...

My life style has changed a lot over the past few months... My mind's eye can visualize a few things which now seem to be alien...

Long queues in stores and theaters just at the time when you were late to work; auto meters that run faster than an Olympics marathon runner; times when two thirupathi laddoos seemed to be a blessing in disguise; exhaust pipes of lorries that blow smoke and ruin your favorite dress; fantasies that picturize the surroundings described by Keats and Wordsworth while your neighbor dumps his garbage just outside your house; travel on roads that will make void of theme parks....

even beyond all these issues...LIFE was BEAUTIFUL....

Whats LIFE but
Love
Involvement & Insipiration
Family & Friends
Experience & Effervescence

Times of merry making with friends... laughing over a small mistake made by a dear one, sharing a cup of tea and chit chatting about things from childhood... cuddling your fave teddy... listening to soft, romantic music... getting wet in the rain and enjoying the early morning dew... watching the full moon and having a long walk along the shore with someone special... bagging a prize in a competition... baking a cake for your parents on their wedding day (even though it doesn't look or taste like one!!!)... seeing a tear roll down ur cheek when you realize that you have achieved your goal... making someone smile... lending a helping hand... a realization that you are loved... pillow fights.... going thru old pics... night outs... a secret thats shared with ur close mates... scented candles and flowers... playing with babies... ice creams and chocolates (yummmyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!)....

Don't all these make LIFE worthwhile????...
My LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL...
