Friendships, me and the like....

A friend of mine wrote a while back about 'friendships going sour' . I could totally identify with it. I mean I am sure all of us or rather most of us have been in that awkward situation caused by something or someone where you don’t know what else to say, or to just walk away… you don’t know what to say that would make it right again, and somewhere you are even sure that things will never ever be the same again. If you have not been in such a situation, then lucky you! Me – I have been in those situations a lot of times… Some of them have been for no fault of mine, and some of them were because we both saw separate roads and chose to take them… and few for maybe some fault of mine… and even fewer for reasons I still cannot fathom… but they have all had one thing in common. They have all led me to doubt myself at various points in time, wondering if something is the reason with me that stuff like this keeps happening… Of course the hurt too! In some cases! For all my life, I...

Then and now...

Sometimes I think back about the past and wonder... Where are all those people that I was once friends with? The ones that I met during my course of college, school, clubs and get-togethers... the ones with whom I vowed that we would always be friends no matter what happens and wherever life takes us...  I am one of the lousiest persons in the world when it comes to keeping in touch. I do! With very few people. On a regular basis. The others, well.. I lose contact within a couple of years... yeah! call me mean hearted and whatever, but that's the way I have been! Admittedly I am a lot better now! Getting back in touch with old classmates and people whom I thought had vanished off the face of this earth, thanks to networking sites like orkut, facebook, linkedin etc.. I at least scrap them or post a msg or a comment on their snaps or something to make my presence felt.  But thoughts about those people whom I grew up with cross my mind a lot.  Like, the "ettans" of ...

Stuck in the rut...

One of my 'New Year' resolutions is to blog more and blog regularly. That one I did not write for obvious reasons. But now, I think of it and its been a fortnight since New Years and I have just posted twice. Quite disappointing if I say so myself...  It crosses my mind at least a couple of times a day that I should blog today but then, something turns up, or I am not in the mood, or worse still, I don't know what to blog about. Really, that's something that annoys me... What do I blog about next?  Of course there are a lot of mundane topics, you know... like movie reviews, or what we did last weekend, the trip to Phuket and Phi Phi islands... (Next time, its gonna be Krabi... cant wait to do some rock climbing..), how I spend my time here etc etc...  But they all seem so boring...  God, I just hope I find something interesting to blog about soon...

Some pics from the vacation at Phuket.

The long delayed 2009 recap and the New Year post...

Yes it's long delayed. I have been meaning to post something about the year that passed us by and the upcoming year. But then I did not find time before we rushed to our New Year trip to Phuket and Phi Phi islands in Thailand (I am gonna rub this in quite a lot of times before the post comes to an end :-) ) and then after we came back, i was not quite in the mood to blog. Vacation hangover and all that you see! :) But yeah, going ahead with the post...  2009 for me was a year of changes. Some big ones (where I got married and moved to Singapore), some not-so-big but then still big enough for me ones (I quit my job and still waiting to find another one!).  2009 started with a bang. Nice new years party at a colleagues place, chatting late into night etc etc, usual stuff. And then bang into the next week and our company is in deep shit. Along with it all our jobs too. Yes! Before you confirm, I was working for Satyam.  And then the following months until I quit ...
