To the new year...

So the thing is... that I feel like its time to set out on a new path... The path I'm on at the moment is just too easy... Life is not about it being easy... Its hectic, but easy. There is a difference...

For me, I hope for a year full of happiness, smiles and most of all, love... A recent vsisit from my cousins made me realise how much I love to love and love being loved :) Emotional child that I am... So my wish to all will be for health wealth and all...but most of all it goes out for LOVE! :)

Here's to a year full of love and freedom! :) xox

Just a thought!

Just wanted to pen down a random thought...

HOW MUCH DO I THINK! :) lol!

I just realised that I think so much, and when it comes to me penning down my thoughts... I can go on and on and on... Its never a short thought... LOL

I wrote to someone over the weekend, needed to get something off my chest... and its only today that I realised that I sent a LONG ASS email... then I thought back to all the times I wrote to someone and had something to say... and realised I always have lots to say :) (say, write, sing, scream... lol you name it! this is why I think the picture I have used is so right for this :))

God bless all of my mates and family and others for having the patience to deal with me and all that I have to say and listening and understanding more than anything :)

And to anyone else who bares and read all that I have to write :)

Kudos!

Appreciation...

It is such a good thing... Makes you feel like you are something and are capable of something...

There are always 2 ways of making a point... The positive way and the blah way...

Its just the way the you are that makes such a difference...

The can-do attitude helps no matter how old and boring and painful that may sound.

Yes be pessimistic to a certain level or always balance things out... But just be nice! :)

Appreciation and encouragement I believe play a big part in making us who we are and making us better people!

From a simple loving wake up call instead of a scream or shout out of bed!

To being told you were missed one day... Knowing that you're being thought of... You're on someones mind...

To have someone concerned for you and you for someone else...

Forms such a support system for one without even knowing it...!!!

Another thing... perfectly enough a really nice song has just come on...

Yeh Tumhari Meri Baatein from the movie Rock On!

Thinking of this song on a bigger scale... Apart from the relationship angle... :)

Just so happy! That's how we should be :)

Bas, now that all from me for now! :) xox

Careless, Carefree Catch up sessions!

Careless carefree catch up sessions...

They are just the thing that is needed from time to time! :)

Endless hours of gabbing to glory...

Most making some sense, some not...

Laughing uncontrollably at the silliest of things...

Laughing at your own self and your shortcomings...

Laughing at life and its ways, good or bad...

Forgetting the world and living in the moment...

In the hope of reliving this as a memory in the future...

Realising who is yours...

Realising a lot about you...

Learning new things...

Learning new things about your own wants...

Putting a finger on what it is you've been thinking of or trying to figure out about yourself lately...

Oh what joy... little joys of life that make us 'us'...

Make us remember what we're forgetting...

Trying to make something of our lives...

But forgetting what makes us 'us' in the bargain!

I recommend it to all... Time to yourself...

Time with yourself...

Time with people you connect with...

Time with people you love! Its just what is needed to put things back in perspective...

:)

Staring out the window...

So here I am... at work, trying to get things done, taking it a little slower than normal... Staring out the window on my left... Totally BLANK! I look at the grey sky... and the buildings around... and I can't seem to think of a thing...

I feel totally numb... Don't really know why... but I feel the need to just be curled up in my blanket with a book or crying to make myself get over with emotions and just get back to normal...

I look back at times and see myself in happier times... and wonder what was so different then...

Is this what life is about now? Is this what being a grown up means? Is this what we work for? To go to bed at night and wonder where the thrill in my day was? This is not me... This is not what I want...

How do I get that back is the question... That's a journey that I'm taking and will get to the destination only when I'm destined to...

That's why I wonder why we don't have a heads up to life sometimes... :) I just need something to look forward to ... Something I know will make my day better no matter what...

Just as we think we're getting into a comfortable zone... Poof, the cloud of smoke comes up and you realise that its not true. If only it were THAT easy :)

ANyhow, its time for me to snap back into reality... a new reality to me... Not my reality... Not where I really want to be... back to being carefree... BEing myself, being there for others the way I was... The same me who was in touch with everyone and crazy enough to not care about anything when I wanted to talk to someone, see them or just surprise them :)

Well as anyone else would, I wait and see where, when and how I get there... :)

This is me, off for now!

Is it me??

The feeling is the same... Every time around...

When you start feeling like you're there...

It is the world that moves... the shaking ground...

If only sometimes you knew why things happened...

If only sometimes we could do things so...

So that a new phase of life gets started and you know...

Or at least think you know where to go!

Why does it take so long...

Why does the world seem so wrong...

All one really wants is to be happy and be able to share the same with someone...

I have it all here by the looks of things...

Nothing to be afraid of...

Nothing to want more...

It all seems just right...

And yet it doesn't feel so....

How do I know when I'm happy? How do I know when I think its okay...

Is life just a big fat lie, so is it a mountain of hay?

I try so hard to say its okay...

I try so hard to feel that way...

What is it that makes me wonder so much...

What is it that keeps me here...

Why was it that I came back...

Why was it that I lost track...

Some answers I will never get...

But a life that I need to set...

Lord give me the strenghth to be myself...

Give my the will to find my own...

Help me make me and make my happy...

That's all I ask for in a small sort of way...

With all the love around me...

With all the love that surrounds me...

With all the love that I have to give...

Happiness is a small ball of string that I need to play with...

Habby Habby Habby!

Its all about you...
Come to think of it... Everything one does is to be able be happy and do something to stay happy :) Its all in our minds... We choose to be happy or to be sad... Emotions have a way of getting out... at times we want or not... Either way we need to be able to keep ourselves happy at most of the times... It is like what the doctor I met on flight said, we choose to be upset or sad. Being sad or depressed is a waste of soo much energy and no one should bother about it!!
On that note... my happy self is off for a holiday with the boys to TAsmania!!! :)
Its been a while since I've been upto something like this!! Hurraaahhh!!!

A new phase...

I look back and it bleeds...
I think of anything, and it bleeds...
It's a new phase in life I guess... It needs to bleed...
Bleed out the bad and bring in the good...
Whoever said this would be easy?
Whoever told you this is what it was meant to be...
It's things in life that teach us what and how and when and where and the most important one, WHY...
We need the answer to these...
Or else we bleed...
Sitting here at night, away from any sleep...
All I can feel is that bleed...
I need to be able to keep my focus right...
But the lack of blood makes me dizzy... and all I feel is the bleed...

I don't mean to sound grey... But I know it comes through...
I need strength to see this through...
As many of you knew...
It wasn't I who was the fool it was he...
It is not my loss but it is yours...
Just hope its not too late before you see it...
Once I leave I'm gone... It's time for me to take life head on...
Its time for me to see a new phase...
If not with you then with someone who'll go through the maze...
The maze of life with me as you see...
Standing there by my side through it all...

To new starts!

Just crossing that time of the year again where you feel just a little bit more responsible and older :) Its the time that makes you look back at no matter how many years we've lived. Think through the good times and the bad :) think of all the people who've been by you through thick and thin and the people you've been around as well... It is a wonderful feeling. Growing up and living life and knowing it !!!

The one thing that I think we start seeing at different stages in our life, is how we are changing and how that is affecting the situation and the people around us. How the new phases in life make us change and start thinking in a new direction... we see things under a different light all of a sudden. We change, our wants changes, our needs change, our circumstances change... and this keeps happening throughout our lives. First its all about us, then its about our jobs and careers, then its about us setelling down, then its about having children, then its about the children and this journey goes on and on... Anyway, to cut a long story short. I'm loving the way life is turning out. A sudden realization of my shift in phase is on. Its a whole new phase of life and a whole new chapter. I love all the people in my life so far... Good and bad... I thank them for what they've given to me or taught me and here's to soo many more coming along :)

A special mention in my heart and prayers goes to a few people in my life (old and new) who showed me change and taught me so much. Things to do in life, things to avoid and just how to never forget to be me :) !!!!! Gaurav, Piyal, Vishaal, Himanshu, Shrey, Githanjali, Boogie, and Abhinav. There are so many things I've taken and learnt and understood all because of my interaction with these people! :) I'm grateful to have them all in my life!

Too much for one day, its time to go to work :) Here's to the people who made a difference and here's to the next new chapter in my life.

My favorite things song! MY WAY :D

Bright early mornings and breakfast with friends...
Short gossip sessions and long laughing trends...
Good times spent, laughing and singing and things...
These are a few of my favourite things!!!! :D

Big picture collages and broad black frames...
My doggy ruffles and no aches and pains...
Eating rasgullas and catching up with friends...
Are the things that keep me sane and in sense! :D

As you can see I'm in a mood to be silly...
After a long day at work, now I'm in bed...
This is the time I take it all outta my brain...
The thoughts to be able to sleep better again!!!! :D

PS: Please sing this in tune to "my favourite things" from the movie the sound of music... hehe this is my in my sily element! :)
