The last curse before a new year!!!

This is called blogging in bulk… I have a few too many mails regarding the late evenings we spend in office especially on Friday’s when you cannot even say ‘TGIF’… The nincompoops in my office have this sadistic pleasure of fixing up meetings and reviews for the last possible minute thereby ruining what would effectively have been the best way to spend an evening! Doing anything else but not sitting in office… Today being New Years Eve what would one expect from a normally sane set of people… No! You expect too much! The jackasses have gone and fixed up meetings till 7:30 in the evening for just the units that we handle…! Goddamn! I dunno what to say to that!!! So while the rest of the world is outside busy making merry, and plans for the evening… or putting plans that they have made we are sitting here and listening to a bunch of people go on and on about how good and promising their business is… Wow! I have no words to express my joy! :O Simply exhilarated! I guess this is again one...

Oh and by the way, I got engaged last week.. :D (Yes the poor soul! I know..! :P) To a friend I have known for more than 4 years before we decided to take our friendship to another level..! Suffice to say the parents are very glad :P And of course so are we :-)

And another year passes by....

So another year has gone by…! And so fast..! Actually I dunno what to write…! I can as well say “Happy New Year” and be done with it… but somehow that does not just seem fitting… This year celebrations seem to be a lot less subdued than last year… probably because of whatever happened around the world! Someone said - “When the clock strikes twelve on December 31st, people all over the world cheer and wish each other a very Happy New Year. For some, this event is no more than a change of a calendar. For others, the New Year symbolizes the beginning of a better tomorrow.” For me it is the beginning of a better tomorrow… It always has been... For the expectations that I have from the coming year… For the changes both known and unknown that will take place in the year… For looking forward to a new beginning in more ways than one… For being aware of what I did in the past year and if there were any mistakes, not to repeat them… Each year New Year is different … right from the way it is cele...

Heart Waves...

She was walking along the beach, her feet playing a game of catch with the waves. She was all alone. And that was how she wanted it to be. Some quiet. A little bit of tranquility. And a whole lot of peace. She was here after a long while. The last time she came here was not by herself. She liked this time of the day. Twilight. Neither day nor night. What was it about this magical hour that the beauty of the night and the day all came together? And was she at the best place or what? Where better to experience the gamut of colors that were flooding the sky, knitting itself seamlessly through the clouds scattered in the vast expanse? It took her breath away. As always. She remembered a time long ago on the same shore. Then she was not alone. She had a reason for being there then. And she had never wanted to be alone then. Back then, she was with someone who she loved and lived with. She was with someone who made everything else in the world seem secondary. She was with someone who made h...

Stalemate....

Her mind was in turmoil. She had been seeking questions to these never-ending queries in all the relationships that she had ever been in. In the hope that at least one of them would help her solve the mayhem in her. Do expectations actually increase in a relationship that you are actually very comfortable in? Do you tend to take a person for granted even when you know him/her inside out, with all their faults and shortcomings? Why does it feel weird when something that has been happening habitually breaks routine and especially when you are aware of why the routine was broken? Why do you get that tug in the heart when the special someone who messages/calls without fail every morning does not do so one day? Is that fear? Or anger? Or a feeling of let-down? Why is there an awkward pause when something goes wrong between two people who are together in some capacity? Why do you feel so odd when someone you care about behaves a little indifferently with you for reasons that are actually kno...

Something on a lighter note...

You are cooperative and friendly. You get along with others, especially when you're on a team together. You have strong instincts. It's sometimes hard to ignore what the voice in your head is saying. What does your handbag say about you? What Your Handbag Says About You You tend to be relaxed but alert. You keep your eye out for anything unusual. You are a high maintenance person.

The beginning of a new end....

I have not blogged for some time now… Not that I did not have anything to blog about! But whatever I wanted to blog about previous to the Mumbai attacks now seems very trivial after the latter happened. I wanted to blog about the attacks as soon as they happened. I did not. I could not bring myself to do it. And what could I have written about? I have come across a whole lot of blogs on the Mumbai attacks. Blogs talking about the resilience of India, the Spirit of Mumbai, India’s 9/11, trashing the politicians, coverage of the media, the grit of the NSG commandos, the lives given for the country, the lives taken for the country, statistics of all sorts, number-games, mind games, comments by the people we chose to run the country, and a whole lot of other issues… done to death! And I still am at a loss on what to write about… Do I write about what a joke our country’s Intelligence is? Do I write about how we failed to take the threats that were posed seriously? Do I write about the Red...
